The director is a god... stick!

Stone Village, the home of the village chief.

In the continuous heavy rain, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

The knock on the door was not covered by the sound of rain, it was subtle and clear.

In the dark night, when he heard someone knocking on the door, the old village head who was awakened suddenly became vigilant.

Beside him, his little grandson Rob was still huddled under the blanket, sleeping soundly with his hands and feet spread out, oblivious to the sound of knocking on the door outside.

The old village head with gray temples frowned, got out of bed with a coat on, and found a flashlight from the bed...

and a sharp scythe.

Instead of waking up his little grandson, he walked out of the house in the pouring rain with a scythe in one hand and a flashlight in the other.

In the corner of the yard, the old scalper at home was lying leisurely in the cowshed, chewing the hay slowly, and sticking his head out, curiously looking at his master who went out in the rain.

When the old village head passed by the cowshed, he thought about it and opened the fence of the cowshed in advance, just in case.

The fence was opened, but the old cow didn't have the slightest thought of going out of the cowshed, but was still chewing the grass in the shed leisurely.

At this time, the person standing outside the courtyard was still knocking on the courtyard door unhurriedly. Despite the heavy rain, he didn't appear agitated at all, and he was more calm than the old cow.

But the old village chief didn't dare to relax. He stood at the gate of the courtyard holding a sickle, and asked vigilantly, "Who?"

"Village Chief Luo, it's me."

A clear and gentle voice came from outside the door: "We met at the party last night."

Hearing the answer from outside, it was confirmed that it was a living person knocking on the door. The old village chief immediately heaved a sigh of relief, threw the sickle aside, closed the fence of the cowshed again, and opened the courtyard door.

Xuan Yi stood outside the courtyard gate, his figure still tall and straight, but the hair at the temples was a little wet from the rain, and the black hair stuck to his handsome cheeks.

"Hey, aren't you the young boy who sang very well last night... Why did you come here at this time? Did your program team ask me to discuss something?"

Seeing the heavy rain outside, the old village chief hurriedly pulled Xuan Yi into the house.

At the same time, like all the elders, he kept nagging in his mouth: "You said that you young man, you can wait until tomorrow to talk about anything! Even if you come here in the middle of the night and brave the heavy rain, you don't know what to do?" An umbrella... the young people nowadays are just relying on their own health to toss around!"

"I did come here with an umbrella this time, but the friend who was traveling with me just now needed to visit another family. I gave him the umbrella and forced him to use the umbrella to keep out of the rain." Xuan Yi smiled to answer.

The old village head couldn't help but nodded when he heard it: "It sounds like you have a good relationship with this friend, and you both think about each other."

"Of course he is the best friend." Xuan Yi replied as a matter of course.

While talking, his eyes inadvertently glanced to the corner of the yard, and saw a scythe that had just been thrown out.

There was a cold light shining on the sharp sickle, someone must have sharpened it frequently.

And not far from the sickle, an old yellow cow was lying in the cowshed, chewing the hay leisurely, while looking at the people in the house with its copper bell-like eyes.

Xuan Yi's eyes shifted from the sickle to the old scalper, and then from the old scalper to the old village head, and asked: "I came to visit late at night, and the time I chose was indeed inappropriate, but your reaction, Village Chief Luo... seems to be the same. Are you too nervous?"

Hearing his question, the old village head was choked up, his wrinkled face turned pale.

"Hey, even if you young people outside heard about the rumors in our village, you probably wouldn't believe it! Just think it's us old guys making up stories..."

He waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it! Anyway, you just need to remember that in our village, whenever it rains heavily, it's best to stay at home honestly and don't go out to run around, or you will run into someone else." ..."

"Watch out for water ghosts?"

Xuan Yi answered calmly: "I've heard a thing or two about water ghosts going ashore for revenge."

"I also heard..."

He turned his gaze to his little grandson who was sleeping soundly in the house, and said, "Your grandson encountered a water ghost by the lake last year. He was almost killed by a murderer, but in the end he managed to escape."

"The water ghost is very vengeful. Anyone who escapes from it, it always has a grudge. And you are afraid that the water ghost will retaliate, so every time it rains, you will be as nervous as you are today?"

The old village chief couldn't help being taken aback.

The most worrying thing in my heart was suddenly yelled at by a young man who had only met a few times. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Xuan Yi in front of him in astonishment.

After a long time, the old village chief rubbed his hands helplessly, and said in a rather painful way: "You are right, I have indeed been guarding against water ghosts."

"You young man is actually quite capable, and you can see the problem at a glance."

He got up, walked tremblingly to the side of the bed, the expression on his face became kind again, and lightly tucked his beloved grandson under the quilt.

"That harmful water ghost never misses when trying to catch people. Last year, my grandson was able to escape from it by luck, thanks to my old cow.

While speaking, he pointed to the courtyard from afar.

In the cowshed at the corner of the courtyard, the old scalper stood up, flicked his tail and shook his head comfortably, without any apparent strength.

This cow is already old, with cloudy eyes and slow movements, like an old man who has been diligently plowing the fields for his master all his life, but now he can no longer work in the fields.

And with the development of the times, mechanical farming has gradually become popular in Shitou Village. For old objects such as farming cattle, only the head of the village has such an old object.

A few years ago, when the old cow could no longer work, other people in the village also persuaded the old village chief to sell the old cow to the beef restaurant so that he could earn some more money.

For this proposal, the old village head was once moved.

But he thought about it again, and felt that this old cow had worked for their family almost all his life. He had both credit and hard work. When it was useless, he sold it backhandedly, which seemed too unkind.

So, he decided to give the cow a pension.

Didn't he know that this decision just saved the only little grandson in the family.

The old village head's son and daughter-in-law are all working outside, leaving only one grandson to accompany him at home.

His little grandson's name is Rob, and because he is relatively thin, he was nicknamed Little Carrot by other friends.

Rob is only 11 years old this year. It is the time when the little boy is most naughty, and he never likes to listen to adults.

His grandfather asked him to take the old cow at home to graze, so he quietly took the cow and invited a few friends to the lake where the adults in the village never let them go.

When he got to the lake, he tied the cow to the side, and he was about to jump into the river to swim.

It’s just that for some reason, the old scalper in the house, who has always been docile, was uncharacteristically agitated that day. He didn’t even eat grass, and always put his huge body in front of Rob, blocking his way to the lake. .

Rob ignored him, and after pushing the old cow away, he jumped into the river with a "plop".

The old ox was tethered to the bank, unable to get close to it, and screamed "moo" in anxiety.

Rob took the lead and jumped into the water before the other children.

He was swimming happily in the middle of the lake, but there was a sudden twitch, his ankles felt cold, as if something floated up from the water, entangled him tightly, and pulled him down into the water.

At that time, his whole body was in disarray, and he couldn't get out of the way. He was flabbergasted in the water, choking on the water, and calling for help.

When the other friends on the shore saw him, they thought it was his leg cramps. At that time, they all panicked and ran back to the village to find the adults.

Rob, who was pulled into the water little by little like this, almost lost the strength to shout, but in a trance, he saw a group of water plants under the water, swimming in the water like a monkey, and wrapped his tail around it. His ankle, trying to drown him alive.

At this desperate moment, he suddenly heard a roar of "moo" from the shore.

Then the clear lake water was stained red with blood, and a huge figure jumped into the water with a "plop" and rushed towards him.

It turned out to be the old scalper tied to the shore. Seeing that his little master was in danger, he couldn't help struggling vigorously. He even broke free from the tied nose ring, and jumped into the water with blood dripping from his nose.

The ox is not a buffalo, and in fact it is not good at swimming, but that day, the old ox looked at death as if it were home, stepped on the mud at the bottom of the lake, slammed its head down, and with a pick of its horns, it overturned the group of aquatic plants.

The monkey-like aquatic plants seemed to be very afraid of the old cow, so they didn't bother with it any more, and quietly disappeared in the water.

Rob, who was almost drowned, just hugged the neck of his old cattle, and was carried to the shore by the old cattle without any danger.

Later, the adults in the village who got the news came, but only saw the old scalper lying leisurely on the bank grazing, and Rob next to him lay weakly on the ground, crying and screaming.

Rob told everyone what he saw in the water.But the other children didn't believe him, they just thought he was drowning because of leg cramps, so in order to save face, they had to make up some nonsense.

But after returning home, the old village head looked at his cow's bloody nose, but he resolutely believed in his little grandson.

It was also from then on that Rob never dared to swim in the water again.

Xuan Yi quietly listened to the story told by the old village head, and couldn't help looking at the old scalper in the courtyard again.

Bull's eyes can see through ghosts and ghosts in the world. The old Taoist ancestor of the past rode away on a bull.

The cow itself is a spiritual animal.

Therefore, it is very normal for the old cow to protect the master, and the water ghost can't help but avoid an old cow by three points.

He withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and explained the purpose of his trip to the village chief: "Village Chief Luo, I heard from other villagers that you were a carpenter when you were young?"

"If you have done traditional carpentry, you just don't know if you still have ink cartridges in your home..."

"I do have ink cartridges here..." The old village head raised his head, looked directly at Xuan Yi, and said slowly, "I just don't know, what's the use of it for you in the future?"

"Is it... something to do with catching water ghosts?" He asked again, this time with a somewhat urgent voice.

He could see that the young man in front of him was not just an ordinary recording star.

Based on that sharp eyesight alone, the opponent should have some extraordinary kung fu.

Xuan Yi didn't expect the old village head's sense to be quite sharp, he was slightly taken aback, and then nodded solemnly.

The elderly village head slapped his thigh immediately, stood up excitedly, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

"Young boy, if you can really solve the disaster that has plagued our village for many years, I will give you whatever you want... Wait a minute, I will find it for you right now..."

His old face was filled with joy, and regardless of the heavy rain outside, he ran to the utility room in the backyard to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

Seeing that the old man was so excited, Xuan Yi just wanted to go over to help, but he didn't expect that in the silent night at this time, a scream suddenly came from afar.

"Help--"

In this rainy night, the scream was extremely terrifying, as if someone was stumbling and running in the middle of the village.

Xuan Yi was taken aback for a moment, because he recognized the owner of that voice, it was Wen Tianming who had just spoken to him before.

At the same time, an equally gloomy aura spread quietly along with the stagnant water all over the ground.

Xuan Yi's face suddenly changed, and he got up and rushed out the door.

But what he didn't expect was that the old scalper in the cowshed also suddenly became agitated after feeling the gloomy atmosphere, slammed into the fence of the cowshed, and ran out of the door.

At the same time, another scream came from outside the courtyard.

"Don't come here, don't come here... Ahhh!"

Hearing the sound, Wen Tianming seemed to have fled nearby.

At the same time, the monster also came like a shadow——
