After hearing this, I quickly got up and walked out while asking her, "Will Mr. Wang's life be in danger?"
It shouldn't be. Before coming here, Mr. Wang specifically said that it shouldn't matter how many days he lasted, and he asked me to just rush back as soon as possible. I set out the day before yesterday, and it has not been more than 48 hours now. I have made every effort. Could it be that Mr. Wang can't hold on anymore?
Or is it that the carpenter hiding in the dark is too powerful and suddenly gets angry?
Wu Tinghan stepped out of the yard and said, "It has nothing to do with anyone else, it's mainly because of you."
Hearing this, I greeted Luo Xiaoyang and the boat owner. Just as I was about to cross the threshold, I almost staggered and tripped over the threshold.
After finally regaining my balance and catching up, I said, I have already left the village thousands of miles away, what does it have to do with me?
When she saw me catching up, she turned sideways to let me go in front - I suddenly realized that none of them seemed to like walking in front of others. Mr. Wang is like this, and so is she.
After taking a few steps, she said, "Do you remember that I asked you before, is it Wang Mingcheng or Wang Mingliu who locks your soul with Moxian?"
I nodded, spoke, and remembered. And I still remember that when I said it was Wang Minghua, you sneered and said you were looking for death.
She asked me, tell me, do you know why I want to die?
I shook my head, I really didn’t know this. However, I guess it was probably Mr. Wang who used it incorrectly. In the eyes of Wu Tinghan, who is more skilled in craftsmanship, he made an unforgivable mistake, so he said he was seeking death.
It's like you are tutoring your child in homework, and the question is how can 1 equal 2. As a result, after your child filled in a minus sign, your feelings at that time should be what Wu Tinghan felt at that time.
But Wu Tinghan said coldly that the craftsmanship was not wrong, but he overestimated his ability.
I quickly asked, what does this mean?
She asked back, do you know why he gave you Moxian Soul Locker?
I thought about it and said, he himself said that he was afraid that my soul would be taken away by others.
Wu Tinghan nodded and said, to be precise, he was afraid that your soul would be scared away.
Has your soul become black? !
I remembered the explanation Mr. Wang gave me after my grandfather stood at the end of the bed to scare me, saying that he was trying to scare my soul out.
Wu Tinghan said that he probably knew that you would encounter many terrifying things on your way to Laosicheng, so he used ink thread to lock your soul so that your soul would not be scared away by other craftsmen. .
On the way here, I was really scared by Mr. Dojo’s paper figures, and every time I felt like I was about to faint from fear, I would feel a burning pain in my wrists and ankles. So, this is Mr. Wang protecting me?
But I was indeed protected. Why did Wu Tinghan say that Mr. Wang overestimated his abilities?
She said that because the ink thread locks the soul, which sounds like a soul lock, it actually means that all the damage you suffer is transmitted to the caster through the invisible ink thread. If Wang Mingcheng or Wang Mingliu used this ink thread to lock the soul, then it would be okay, but if it was Wang Minghua, hehe...
Wu Tinghan sneered, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on my back.
From her laughter, I could tell that Mr. Wang probably didn't have enough ability to withstand so many injuries, but in order to protect me, he had to choose this method that he was not sure about.
My heart tightened when I thought that every time I was frightened, it would be turned into harm and inflicted on Mr. Wang.
I don’t know what his relationship is with my grandfather, but he was able to take such good care of me after my grandfather died. I feel like I will never be able to repay this kindness in this lifetime.
Wu Tinghan continued, if it was just like this, it might not be a big deal, and you would be able to get through it with just a few days of rest, but don’t forget that there are other craftsmen in your village who are eyeing your grandfather’s grave. You were already injured, but you still want to guard your grandfather's grave. What else is it if you are not seeking death?
At this time, I was so scared that I was sweating all over my body. I hurriedly said, let’s go faster and get back as soon as possible.
As a result, Wu Tinghan said coldly, "How dare you run while walking by the river?" Do you think your life is too long?
To leave the inner city, you have to go back to your previous upstream location. When we came down, we took a boat. When we went up, we had to walk. The trail follows the river, and to our left is the dark black water.
I said, why can't you run?
She said, have you forgotten your previous experience in the water?
It's a good thing she didn't say this, but when she said it, I remembered the human heads I saw in the water, and the scene where those heads roared hysterically at me after I came ashore.
Looking at the river to my left again, I shuddered instinctively.
I subconsciously leaned closer to Wu Tinghan, and then asked her, tell me, those things won't run out of the water, right?
Under the moonlight, I saw her shaking her head slightly, her hair swaying slightly, and the moonlight covered each hair with a layer of white gauze.
She said, didn't your grandfather tell you that Yin people are afraid of water?
I shook my head and said, I had never heard of it.
When she heard this, she was not as surprised as Mr. Wang. Instead, she said to herself, "Sure enough," and then explained to me that Yin people cannot touch water. Once they get into the water, they will never come out again. I won't come unless I find a scapegoat.
I remembered the legends I heard in the village before, saying that if someone drowned somewhere in the river, one or two people would die in that place every year. The villagers all said that the water ghost was looking for a scapegoat before he could reincarnate.
Wu Tinghan said that although it was not entirely correct, it was almost the same meaning. Without the help of external force, the Yin people in the water cannot get out.
No wonder those things only had their heads exposed in the river at that time. Even when I came ashore, they just grinned and growled at me and did not come out of the water to catch me. It turns out that it’s not that they don’t want to, but that they can’t get out.
If that's the case, then I'm relieved. The distance between my body and Wu Tinghan is slightly imperceptible - I always feel that this woman has ice cubes on her body. If she gets too close, she will feel chilly and cold. The people were trembling.
I said, since they can't get out, why can't we run?
Wu Tinghan said that when running, his center of gravity was unstable and he could easily be pushed into the water by the Yin people on the shore.
Hearing this, I subconsciously leaned closer to Wu Tinghan, then looked around cautiously and said, "Are you lying to me? Are there any evil people on the shore?"
She said, you brought so many sinister people here, how could Uncle Bai lure them all into trouble? There will definitely be fish that slip through the net.
Uncle Bai?
Oh, it should be the white mute ship owner.
But what the hell is this?
She didn't reply to me, but asked me, "So now you know why I let you swim all the way in the water, right?"
I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, did you drag me into the water to lure all the sinister people behind me into the water?
She nodded but said nothing, as cold as ever.
I said, but that’s not right. Since Yin people are afraid of water, how could they go into the water? If it were me, I would definitely hide as far away as possible.
She said, so someone needs to play a dirty trick to attract them all.
I see! I see!
These craftsmen do their work in a seamless and seamless manner!
But you can tell me that you can just let me jump into the water. Why are you acting like you want to kill me?
Wu Tinghan said, "scapegoats, scapegoats, if you don't die, how can they rush into the water to snatch your body?"
