…
Under the leadership of the fishing boy.
The group of people walked towards the fishing village near the lake.
While chatting on the road, Li Suijiu learned the boy's name.
Because he is the second eldest child in the family, people in the village call him "Wu Er".
At the same time, the young man also introduced to Li Suijiu and others that the village was called Wujiacun, and there were a total of twenty-three families, who basically made a living by fishing.
Zhou You and others asked about the income from fishing.
The young man only said that he was barely able to make a living, but he also said that he was a small fishing expert in the village, and others generally could not catch as many fish as he did.
After saying that, he showed the fish basket to everyone, and it was indeed full of fish basket.
Then he said that some guests came to the village yesterday, led by a woman who was very good-looking and was living in his home at this time.
In this way, we walked for about a quarter of an hour.
Finally arriving at the entrance of Wujiacun, looking at the village with smoke rising in front of them, Zhou You and others breathed a sigh of relief, they were finally safe.
When Wu Er arrived at the entrance of the village, he shouted: "We have guests coming, and they are all scholars!"
When I heard that a guest had arrived in the village, he was still a scholar. Every household in the village opened their doors and ran out one by one, showing considerable enthusiasm.
Li Sui Jiuxin said that the folk customs in ancient times were still simple.
As long as they are willing to spend some money, everyone is not averse to staying overnight, and moreover, they will usually bring some good meals and dishes from home to entertain them.
Not long after, everyone else found a place to stay.
Li Suijiu and Zhou You followed Wu Er home.
When he arrived at the door of Wu Er's house, he saw an old man about fifty years old standing at the door. He was dressed like a fisherman, and he was simple and smelled of fish.
"Ah'er, are these two the intellectual masters you mentioned?" Old Man Wu greeted them with a smile.
"Yes, Dad, these are Li Xiucai and Zhou Xiucai."
"I want to call you Mr. Xiucai!"
"Well, Master Xiucai!"
"You two, please come in quickly." Old man Wu welcomed Li Suijiu and Zhou You in, and said: "The house is quite spacious. There are two empty rooms. Someone has already occupied one, and the remaining one will be given to us." You two stay here."
Li Suijiu already knew that there were other guests in the village, so naturally he would not be picky, so he nodded: "Everything will follow the old man's arrangement."
So, he entered the house.
The furnishings in the room are also very old.
In the central hall, Li Suijiu saw two spiritual tablets.
One's name should be Old Man Wu's wife, while the other is Wu Da.
Is Wu Da dead?
Wu Er did not mention this matter when he was on the road.
Of course, most people would not mention this kind of thing.
Just as he was thinking about it, a woman walked out of a room on the side.
All in black.
At the same time, she also has a pair of very beautiful red phoenix eyes, coupled with eyebrows like willow leaves and skin like a white porcelain vase, it can be said that the spring breeze is blowing willows, making her radiant.
Li Suijiu was stunned for a moment and looked at the woman in front of him.
The woman was also stunned.
Then, the two of them made a sound at the same time.
"Why is Shopkeeper Ji here?"
"Why is Huaijin here?"
Yes, the woman who walked out was Ji Qingzhu.
While Li Suijiu was astonished, a question suddenly occurred to his mind. If Ji Qingzhu appeared here, it would mean that the place where water mango grass grows is Feiyan Lake.
Thinking of this, Lin Ju'an and the other four might be in danger!
Naturally, Old Man Wu didn't know what Li Suijiu was thinking, so he just said, "So you guys know each other? We happen to be having dinner at the same table. I'll get two more dishes."
With that said, he took Wu Er into the kitchen.
After Ji Qingzhu saw Old Man Wu leaving, he said, "Why did Huaijin suddenly come to this fishing village?"
Li Suijiu naturally didn't hide anything and told the truth.
After hearing this, Ji Qingzhu frowned slightly: "If the four people disappeared during the day, it should not be the work of bandits."
"Why not bandits?" Zhou You asked.
"Because Feiyan Lake has been surrounded by my people. If it is really the crime of bandits, my people will definitely stop it." Ji Qingzhu explained.
"That's not a bandit... Could it be that he is really a water ghost seeking his life?" Zhou You's face turned a bit ugly.
"Well, this possibility is very high." Ji Qingzhu nodded.
"Damn it, this water ghost actually came out to ask for his life during the day? If it is really this water ghost from Feiyan Lake that took the lives of Brother Lin and others, we will definitely avenge Brother Lin and others!" Zhou You gritted his teeth.
Just saying...
There was a voice at the door!
"Nonsense, the water ghost in Feiyan Lake will never take human life for no reason!"
"Um?"
The three of them looked towards the door.
It was discovered that the person speaking was none other than Wu Er.
Moreover, looking at Wu Er's appearance, he was obviously a little angry at Zhou Youyou's remarks about "water ghosts risking their lives".
Li Suijiu's heart moved and he asked, "Wu Er knows that water ghost?"
"Of course I..."
"Ah Er!" Old man Wu walked in at this moment and interrupted what Wu Er was going to say next: "The food is ready, you three can use some food first."
After saying that, he added: "The three guest officers are laughing. We are all honest fishermen. How can we know the water ghost in Feiyan Lake?"
"So, are there really water ghosts in Feiyan Lake?" Li Suijiu asked again.
"No!"
"But what the old man said just now is obviously true. If the old man knows that the water ghost is coming, please tell him. To be honest with the old man, there were a total of fourteen people when I went out to play, but now four of them are missing. ." Li Suijiu said in a sincere tone.
Zhou You also understood at this time, and immediately asked the old man: "Yes, please tell me, if you can really save my four friends, Zhou will definitely reward you heavily!"
Old man Wu looked at Li Suijiu and Zhou You's eyes and knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.
He could only sigh: "I really don't know the origin of that water ghost, but I can be sure that that water ghost will never take people's lives."
"Why is the old man so sure?"
"This..." Old Man Wu didn't know how to answer.
But Wu Er spoke again: "Because our Wujia Village has been fishing in Feiyan Lake. If the water ghosts were willing to kill themselves, our Wujia Village would have been exterminated long ago."
"Well, that's the truth." Old Man Wu nodded.
"If you are here to catch water ghosts, then you are not welcome in our home."
"Ah Er, you can't be rude to your guests!"
"snort!"
Wu Er snorted and ran out.
are you angry?
Li Suijiu could tell that when Old Man Wu and Wu Er said that water ghosts would not take their lives, their voices were very sure, and they did not sound like they were panicking.
But Ji Qingzhu just said that Feiyan Lake has been surrounded, which means that Shuimang grass does grow in Feiyan Lake.
Can a ghost guarding such poisonous weeds still be a good ghost?
This is obviously unreasonable!
Moreover, Shui Manggui had just appeared in Yinhua Mansion, and Na Ruyan had tried to harm Yang Fuzun and control the entire Yinhua Mansion.
Old man Wu probably saw that Li Suijiu and others did not believe it.
He looked at the purple moon that had risen outside the window, and then said: "What the old man said is true. There is indeed a water ghost in Feiyan Lake, but he will never take his life. Not only will he not take his life, he will He also protects the safety of Wujia Village and delivers fish to us. Without this water ghost, I’m afraid the people in Wujia Village would have starved to death!”
"Nonsense!" Zhou You obviously didn't believe it: "How can there be such a water ghost? Water ghosts drag people into the water and take their lives. I have also heard some stories about water ghosts. They are all extremely cunning. You must have been tricked by him. Cheated!"
"But no one has died in Wujia Village in recent years!"
"The most it shows is that he didn't seek the lives of you Wujia villagers, but those friends of mine were killed by him!"
"I have already said that he will not ask for his life!"
"You guys were deceived."
"impossible."
Zhou You and the old man argued endlessly.
Li Suijiu heard some clues from the old man's words... Hasn't anyone died in recent years?
For a moment, he seemed to understand something.
