"The moment the door to the inner room opened, the woman let out a piercing scream. The old fisherman disappeared, and the originally tidy house completely changed. The room was wet, and there was dark mud on the ground. It exudes a pungent rotten smell, and the most important thing is the bed... The bed where the old fisherman once slept is covered with water plants, which is the unique beauty fragrance of Spring God Lake!"
"The woman did not faint with the help of several juniors. Before she could recover, another group of people came outside. The leader was an old man who was not tall and had a hunchback. The old man was supported by others and his steps were slow. He staggered over and became excited when he saw the woman. The old man said he found her along the lakeside."
"The old man turned around and pointed to the ground in the yard. There was a strange and huge mark on the ground, like a huge snake crawling across it."
"This is the rut mark left by the boat after it hit the bottom. It was a boat that knocked open your door last night!" The old man became obviously excited when he said this, and his chest heaved violently. "I just followed the rut mark to find it. We found a remote location by the lake, and that boat...that boat came to your home from the lake last night!"
"It has been a rule in fishing villages for many years that no boats can be driven at night, and what kind of boats can be driven on the shore? This strange scene made everyone present feel chilled in their hearts."
"Recalling what the old fisherman said last night, the three juniors who had stayed at his home were even more frightened. A strange and bizarre picture emerged in everyone's mind. Late at night, the wooden boat floated from the depths of the lake. When it came out, it carried old man Wu who was already dead. These ghosts rode the boat all the way to the shore, broke open the courtyard door, and took away the old fishermen in the room in an incomprehensible way. "
"No, it would be more appropriate to bring him back. Their purpose this time is to take the old fisherman back. After all, the old fisherman should stay there. It was a complete accident that he escaped."
"The old fisherman's premonition was correct. He really heard the sound, the sound of water, the sound of boats cutting through the lake, and Old Man Wu and those people were indeed right outside the door!"
"At this time, the young junior student who had leaned behind the door to look out last night suddenly gasped, and then his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He remembered that last night...last night was a dark sky with no moon at all. , then where did the bright moonlight he saw through the crack of the door come from?"
"Or, what the hell did it do?"
Shopkeeper Qian took a breath, "In short, after that, no one saw the old fisherman and the so-called Old Wu Tou. They completely disappeared from this world."
The story is almost over after hearing this, but Jiang Cheng's doubts are far from being answered. While listening to the story, Jiang Cheng has always had a question in his mind, which is very important to him.
"I'm talking about Shopkeeper Qian, how do you know it in such detail? It's as if you were watching him while he was doing these things." Jiang Cheng leaned forward, putting enough pressure on Shopkeeper Qian. Identity was in doubt.
Shopkeeper Qian's face changed with fear, "Sir, sir, you don't dare to joke like this! This kind of thing... I don't dare to talk about this kind of thing, I only heard about it..."
With a "bang" sound, Jiang Cheng suddenly slapped the table and stood up. The teacups on the table fell to the ground. "What the hell! Is there such detailed hearsay?"
Shopkeeper Qian's legs were trembling, he knelt down with a pop, and slapped himself with his backhand, "Sir, I can't help you, sir, it's me... I was deceived by lard, I said, I tell the truth. , these are all things I asked someone to inquire about... from the old fisherman's nephew. This nephew was one of the three young men who stayed vigil that night. So what happened to the old fisherman and what he said? ...He all knows that I spent a full 5 taels of silver to find out about this matter."
"You, an antique shop owner, are still interested in such evil things?" Jiang Cheng sneered, as if he had seen through Shopkeeper Qian's scheme.
Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Qian swallowed his saliva and said mysteriously: "Of course I don't dare to be interested in such evil things, but... But this time is different, this time..." Shopkeeper Qian winked at Jiang Cheng and revealed a you An expression that understands me too.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Jiang Cheng didn't understand.
"My lord, don't you understand yet?"
"What do I understand?"
Shopkeeper Qian came over mysteriously, leaned into Jiang Cheng's ear, and said in a very soft voice: "I know what you have been looking for? There are treasures in Chunshen Lake, right?"
"Your people from the Marquis Mansion secretly arrested all the fishermen around Chunshen Lake and labeled them as bandits. Even if a group of poor fishermen gave them ten courages, they wouldn't dare to rebel. You just want to use them to help you find the treasure that the former General Guo left in the lake before he died."
Former dynasty, General Guo, treasure, and lake, four almost unrelated words were perfectly combined at this moment, and successfully attracted Jiang Cheng's attention. He vaguely felt that he had grasped the key to the problem.
Looking at Shopkeeper Qian's appearance, he obviously regarded himself as a direct descendant of the Hou Mansion and tacitly acknowledged that he also knew about the treasure in the lake. Jiang Cheng calmly followed his plan and guided him to continue talking.
"You know a lot." Jiang Cheng slowly sat back on the chair and gave Shopkeeper Qian a dangerous look that said you'd better carefully consider every next sentence.
Shopkeeper Qian sneered twice and excused himself: "Actually, there are not many people who know about this matter. After all, the former General Guo has been operating in our Luo'an City for so many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that the wealth in his hands is as rich as the enemy's. , but when the city was finally broken, guess what, the treasure house of his General’s Mansion was actually empty.”
"Not to mention gold and silver treasures, there are not even antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Some people say that General Guo knew his final fate, so he had already left a way out for himself and built a house for himself in Chunshen Lake. There is a large tomb in which all the gold, silver and jewelry are stored, and it is said that the tomb was instructed by ghosts and gods to make it extremely hidden. It is not on the water or under the water, and can only be found under the guidance of the general himself."
Jiang Cheng was confused when he heard this, and asked: "It's not on the water, and it's not under the water, so where is this big tomb?"
"I don't know. Everyone is spreading rumors that this tomb... is alive. Because it can keep changing its position, no one can find it. It is also said that General Guo and others are not actually dead. They They all live in that tomb, as brave and immortal as they were in life, and have become the shadowy soldiers of ghosts and gods."
"Their bodies were not found after the city was broken?" Jiang Cheng frowned. The heads of enemy generals of this level are good things that can be directly claimed for credit. There is no reason why they should not be found.
Shopkeeper Qian became uncomfortable when he heard this, and said with some fear: "Then this is not something that we little people can know. You have to ask the Marquis about this. After all, General Guo and the others were killed by the Marquis."
"It turns out that our Marquis has some tricks up his sleeve. General Guo led his soldiers, who are all ruthless men possessed by the God of Death. In front of the two armies, he cracked the armor with his bare hands and swung it away with a punch. All the men and horses were shattered. That's it. The fierce ones were all killed by our Lord in one battle, and it was also because of this that he was personally named the Marquis of Zhennan by the Holy Lord, and took command of Luo'an City."
