The mansion's work efficiency is very high, and the funeral of the maid was settled in less than half an hour, and the coffin was parked at the gate of the city together with the cart.Mr. Baohe took advantage of this moment to buy some local snacks, intending to write down the experience after eating in his diary, which will be used when writing a book in the future. After all, one of the main purposes of many people's travel is to taste various delicacies.Having said that, Mr. Baohe's professionalism is admirable. Even in such a desperate situation, he has not forgotten his errands.

When he finished preparing these, the people from that house had already arrived at the city gate.

The leader was still the steward. Seeing that Mr. Baohe had arrived as scheduled, a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Mr. Baohe, you are a well-known travel writer, and I have read your masterpiece before." I believe that with your rich experience, you will be able to send this girl home smoothly... I have sent a message to this girl's family before, and they must be preparing for the funeral. When you arrive at Shuangniang Bay, you only need to ask Where is Huaqing's house, there will be someone to welcome you. I'm afraid you will be wronged by claiming to be a servant of the mansion, and they will entertain you. In short, I wish you a smooth journey."

Mr. Baohe nodded, assured the steward that the coffin would be delivered safely, and then exchanged a few words of courtesy with each other before pulling the coffin out of the city.

Go out of the city and walk until Youshi.At this time, the sun was already westward, but the residual temperature remained unabated.There was nothing to hide along the way. Mr. Baohe's whole body was washed several times with sweat, but none of them was dry. The clothes wrapped around his body were sticky and uncomfortable.

After finally reaching a small forest, there seemed to be the sound of gurgling water in my ears.Mr. Baohe was overjoyed, and followed the sound of water to the depths of the woods, and after a while, a small stream appeared in front of him.Mr. Baohe licked his dry lips, and after fixing the cart of the camel coffin, he leaned over to the stream, took a sip of water and drank it.The sweetness of the water also has a slight aroma, and it must have come from an excellent spring.Mr. Baohe felt that if the location of this spring could be written in the book, it would be a worthwhile trip, so he walked up the stream.

Originally, Mr. Baohe wanted to put the coffin downstream and take it away after he returned to continue on his way. Anyway, no one would steal such an unlucky thing.But after thinking about it, what if I can't find this place when I come back later?After thinking about it again and again, Mr. Baohe decided to take the coffin on the road.

Gradually, the stream is getting bigger and bigger, and the trees on both sides are getting more and more.Turning around a high ground, suddenly a silver waterfall appeared in front of the eyes, the sound of the water was booming, and the horse training seemed to fall from the sky, flying pearls and jade, which was amazing.

Suddenly seeing this beautiful scenery in such a desolate place, Mr. Baohe suddenly felt refreshed, and became curious, wanting to see what scenery there is above the waterfall, so he pulled the coffin and detoured up from the west.After turning a few turns and passing through a row of towering ancient trees, the scenery in front of us is even more amazing.

There is a large lake in front of you, and at the southern end of the lake is a large waterfall, splashing in all directions, which is extraordinarily dazzling under the reflection of the setting sun.The flowers and trees around the lake are varied, and the mixed flowers are red and white, which are reflected in the green lake water, which is inexplicably beautiful.Looking at the scenery in front of him, Mr. Baohe couldn't help feeling refreshed and cheerful. Looking back, his body was full of sand and dust, so he rolled up his trousers and put his feet in the water. A refreshing coolness swept over his body immediately, giving him an indescribable joy. , but at the same time people can't help but yearn for more coolness.

Mr. Baohe looked down at the lake, hesitated for a moment, took off his clothes and entered the water.The lake water is a bit cold, but it is not too bitter because it is a hot day, and the cool lake water washes the skin, but it feels indescribably refreshing.

After Mr. Baohe washed off the sweat and dust stuck to his body, he squinted his eyes and looked at the setting sun on the horizon, and found that the setting sun was particularly beautiful from this angle.The sky is dim, the setting sun is like blood, and the scenery in front of me is dreamlike, so unreal.

When the sun was setting, the sky was covered with blue and black, the surrounding environment gradually became hazy, and even the water temperature dropped a lot.Seeing that it was getting late, Mr. Baohe swam towards the shore, and he had to continue on his way. Although it would be nice to rest by the lake for the night, he couldn't guarantee that there would be no wild animals in the woods ahead. .

Just when Mr. Baohe was about to swim to the shore, he suddenly felt his feet tightened, as if something was wrapped around his ankle. He subconsciously looked under the water, only to find that the originally clear lake water had changed suddenly. Get muddy.And one of my feet was in this turbidity, but I couldn't see what was inside.

Mr. Baohe raised his head, tried to maintain his balance, and then pulled his feet vigorously, trying to get out of the chaos, but felt that his feet were getting tighter and tighter, and there was an inexplicable downward pull, as if to Pull him to the bottom.

This time, Mr. Baohe was a little flustered, and suddenly recalled the strange talk he had heard before in his mind.It is said that people who drowned in the water will become heavy after becoming ghosts and cannot be reborn. If they want to reincarnate, they have to kill those swimmers and let them be scapegoats.

The more Mr. Baohe thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his struggling movements became messy. In addition, he was exhausted for a long time and had little strength left, so he lost his strength after a few thumps.At the same time, his feet suddenly went numb, his body softened, and he sank into the water.

"If you come out to play around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later..." Mr. Baohe said this sentence flashed in his mind.

Just when he felt that his life was about to be confessed here, his vision suddenly changed from blurred to clear again.At that moment, Mr. Baohe seemed to see a figure standing on the shore—a woman in white.She just stood on the shore so peacefully. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Mr. Baohe could feel that she was looking at him.

"Help me..." Mr. Baohe shouted to her, but he forgot that he was in the water at the moment, and just opened his mouth, the cold lake water suddenly poured into his mouth, choking the water in his throat, the cry for help The words also turned into the sound of "gurgling" swallowing water. This sip of water exhausted his last breath, and he could only let the endless stream flow into his mouth and nose.

Fortunately, the woman in white seemed to have heard Mr. Baohe's call for help. She bent down and stretched her white hands into the water.Mr. Baohe was overjoyed, and squeezed out his last bit of strength to grab her hand.At the same time, there was a trace of surprise in his heart, because he could clearly feel the unusual coldness and stiffness coming from the opponent's hand.

But this was only a momentary thing. Mr. Baohe didn't forget that he was still drowning in the water, so he didn't think about it, so he threw his hand along the shore, struggled a few more times, loosened his feet, and finally climbed up. to shore.Mr. Baohe fell on the grass by the lake, panting heavily while vomiting the water in his belly, and it took a while to recover.Looking for the woman in white again, he found that there was no one around, and what surprised him even more was that the cart he had fixed in the distance unexpectedly appeared on the shore at some point, and one end of the coffin on the cart actually protruded into it. In the lake.

After putting on his clothes, Mr. Baohe took the coffin out of the water and fixed it on the cart again.In a daze, he seemed to remember that he had climbed the coffin back to the shore just now...

At this time, the sun had completely fallen below the horizon, leaving only a smear of light, and the surroundings became increasingly hazy.Mr. Baohe glanced at the calm and beautiful lake for the last time, and felt a little pity in his heart. If there were no unknown water ghosts, this would be a sight worth seeing... After he was moved, he dragged the coffin along the way. The way to the road.According to the locals, after walking through the woods along the avenue, they will find their house not long after. After calculating, there is still about an hour's journey. Mr. Baohe decided to speed up his pace so as not to disturb his normal rest.

As he was walking, a series of "tick, tick" sounds suddenly sounded behind him. The sound became more and more strange in the silent woods. Mr. Baohe felt his scalp tingle when he heard it, and subconsciously thought of the lake.Could it be... Could it be that the water ghost in the lake has been following me? !Mr. Baohe instantly got goosebumps all over his body, took a long breath, quickened his pace, and began to trot.

After running for a while, I finally returned to the main road.Mr. Baohe just wanted to stop to take a breath, but found that the sound of "tick" hadn't gone away.The sound was so close, he had a strong feeling that countless wet tentacles were waiting for an opportunity to wrap around him and break his neck.

But no matter what, Mr. Baohe decided to look back and see clearly.His eyes spread back little by little, every inch he looked at, Mr. Baohe felt a little more nervous, and he was relieved when he saw that there was nothing behind him except the coffin.

Where did the sound of water come from?Mr. Baohe followed the sound and found that the bottom of the coffin was dripping water... Thinking of this, Mr. Baohe's face changed. He knew that when making a coffin, a small hole would be left at the bottom. A place for ghosts to come in and out, but if it gets into the water, the corpse will soak like this...

This matter can be big or small, Mr. Baohe didn't dare to be careless, looked around and saw no one passing by, so he pulled the coffin to the side of the road, said "offended" to the coffin, and then opened the coffin for an autopsy.

Mr. Baohe has traveled all over the years, and he has seen many strange things.In addition, not long ago, he had just finished organizing the funeral for that unfortunate traveler, and he was not unfamiliar with the rules and methods of burial, so Mr. Baohe was not afraid, but rather calm.And when he opened the coffin lid and saw the dead body clearly, his heart skipped a beat—a woman in white was lying in the coffin.

It was a beautiful woman with fair skin, an oval face, thin crescent eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and well-shaped but gray-looking lips.As the saying goes, a woman should be pretty and filial. She was dressed in white and looked extraordinarily charming, as if she was asleep...

However, these were not the focus of Mr. Baohe's attention. Mr. Baohe found that this woman gave him a feeling of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere.Looking carefully, Mr. Baohe found that the woman's left hand was wet, as if it had just been fished out of the water.

Sure enough it was her!

"In that case, I would like to thank the girl for saving her life." Mr. Baohe said with a slight smile.She calmly wiped her hands dry, sprinkled lime on the wet place, and after checking that everything was correct, she closed the lid of the coffin, threw out paper money with a wave of her hand, bowed to the coffin three times, and said, "Thanks to the lady for your help." Save me, I can save my life. I hope the girl can be reincarnated to a good family as soon as possible. However, I am born with the problem of getting lost, and I hope that the girl can give some pointers on the road so that I can reach the girl's home as soon as possible."

At this moment, a faint sigh suddenly came from the dark, the voice was full of sadness and helplessness.It's like... like the sigh of a person who can't even protect himself when he agrees to someone else's request.
