chills

Lu Huaiyuan nodded casually and asked, "What?"

The fisherman said: "Recently, there has been a lot of fog... When you see this fog, you know that someone is coming."

Lu Huaiyuan asked: "What does the fog have to do with me?"

The fisherman said: "When the old lady in the lake didn't want to see people, there was such a thick fog... It happened before. If she didn't want to see, the fog would never dissipate."

Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

After returning, he relayed the words to Shen Huaiyu, Shen Huaiyu shook his head with a smile, did not say anything, and boarded the boat as usual.The two of them were on the boat together, Lu Huaiyuan stood at the bow, occasionally tapped the water with his sword, and the boat moved forward steadily; Shen Huaiyu was at the stern, mobilizing all his senses, concentrating on searching for the trace of Grandma Dongzhu.

They have been like this for so many days, occasionally one or two small boats will come and go in the thick fog, but unfortunately all of them are fishing boats of nearby fishermen, not Granny Dongzhu's boat.

The thick fog had soaked their robes, and Shen Huaiyu had been paying attention to the direction of the stern of the ship. Except for a slight flutter of hair in the wind, she was almost motionless, like a stone statue.Lu Huaiyuan felt bored and asked him, "How is it?"

"No." Shen Huaiyu said in a low voice.

Granny Dongzhu really isn't someone who can see her whenever she wants.

"No rush," Lu Huaiyuan said lightly, "it won't take too long."

If these dense fogs really last for too long, it will definitely affect the livelihood of the people who live by the lake. Since Granny Dongzhu only helps people who can impress her, she must be a lover. She can't really delay for too long After all, those common people always rely on Taihu Lake for a living.

Since a fisherman had hinted at this when he went to hire a boat today, it must be time for Granny Dongzhu to let go.

Shen Huaiyu nodded, and continued to carefully observe the surrounding fog.Lu Huaiyuan still has to row the boat, so in order not to make him work too hard, it is enough to just stare at the point in front of him, and rely on Shen Huaiyu to stare at the rest.The fog is so thick that you can't see anything at a distance, not to mention it has lasted for such a long time, even if the sun rises, it will not dissipate, no matter how you look at it, it is not natural.

This is the stumbling block that Grandma Dongzhu put them in. I don’t know how many people are deterred by the fog like a ghost hitting a wall, but it does stop some people. After all, those who can be stopped by the fog must not be obsessed. people.

Lu Huaiyuan remained silent and continued rowing.The boat floated extremely steadily on the water, as if it were on flat ground.There was no wind on the lake, only endless thick fog. Lu Huaiyuan had lost his way long ago and didn't know where he was rowing. However, they themselves didn't know which corner of the huge Taihu Lake Grandma Dongzhu would be hiding in, so It doesn't matter.

The conversation with the fisherman this morning had given him a rough idea.

The two of them drifted on the lake like this for a long time. They passed by a few small islands in the middle. Lu Huaiyuan didn't stop, but used the small islands as a reference to slightly adjust the direction of the boat.I don't know how long it has been like this, when Shen Huaiyu stared at it a little tired, he suddenly heard Lu Huaiyuan's "Huh".

In the thick white fog ahead, a little red light appeared.

Shen Huaiyu stood up, looked back at the red light, and found that it looked like a red lantern.Such a bright red lantern is bright enough to be eye-catching even in this thick fog.The two exchanged a look, Lu Huaiyuan chased after the red lantern, got close enough, only to find that it was an old cruise ship, and there were traces of time on it everywhere, and what they had before The red lantern I saw was brand new, hanging on the cabin as if someone replaced it regularly.

In addition to the weather-beaten look of the boat, there is also a weather-beaten old man on board.

Just what they were looking for.

The old lady's hair was completely white, and the skin on her face was covered with dimples, but she cleaned herself up very well.Although she was standing on the boat, she was not stable. One hand like a dead branch was firmly grasping a boat cover behind her, and the other hand was hanging lifelessly on one side of her body.It can be seen that her legs and feet are not very good, and it is obviously uncomfortable to live here alone. For some reason, she is so stubborn, but she just wants to do this.

She lowered her eyelids and said, "Come here." After saying this, she moved into the small cabin little by little.

Shen Huaiyu and Lu Huaiyuan looked at each other, rowed the boat closer, and stepped onto Grandma Dongzhu's boat.Lu Huaiyuan tied the two boats with ropes to prevent the unmanned boat from drifting away by itself.Granny Dongzhu's old boat suddenly took on the weight of the two young men, and when the draft sank, the whole boat creaked, as if it would sink at any moment.

Grandma Dongzhu was sitting in the cabin. The cabin should have been quite spacious, but it looked very crowded because it was filled with various sundries. There was a small table in front of her, on which there were carving tools of various sizes. , and a half-carved wooden doll, surrounded by a pile of sawdust.

"Junior Lu Jun, this is my elder brother Lu Yu..." Lu Huaiyuan saluted and lied without changing his expression, "My father passed away earlier this year. When my father was here, he loved us two brothers very much, so After we left, we were all deeply saddened, and Jiaci suffered from a serious illness because of missing her too much..."

Grandma Dongzhu didn't respond, she just blew on the sawdust on the little wooden figure on her table.

"This junior came here for no other reason than to get a puppet and bring back the dead soul of my father." Seeing that she didn't respond, Lu Huaiyuan had no choice but to continue acting, "I hope you can help us, senior. The request, as long as we can do it, we will definitely die."

Shen Huaiyu blinked behind him - he didn't know when Lu Huaiyuan made up such a set of rhetoric, but the acting was quite sincere, almost even Shen Huaiyu himself was deceived.

Granny Dongzhu raised her head and stared into Lu Huaiyuan's eyes: "It's over?"

"Yes." Lu Huaiyuan said.

"Did you bring something connected to your father's breath?" Granny Dongzhu coughed a few times, and she seemed to be in poor health today. It has long been clear. The closer the objects brought are to him, the better. The closer they are, the greater the chance of success. If there are remnants of souls or remnants of consciousness, that would be the best... "

Lu Huaiyuan's face froze for a moment, and then returned to normal.He didn't expect Granny Dongzhu to believe his words so easily. He originally wanted to play a few rounds of Tai Chi with the old lady, and take this opportunity to try and find out some information about Xue Moci, but he didn't expect her to even question her. None, I'm going to start making soul puppets right away!It is said that Grandma Dongzhu's soul is hard to find, so it seems that it is hard to find!

With this old lady's level, even if Lu Huaiyuan continued to act, she would immediately reveal her secrets.After all, she has been making soul puppets for so many years, and she knows best whether the objects she brings are real or fake.
