Mr. Kezaku

Peaceful, no shadows to be seen.Because the climate here in the village is relatively warm, there are some tall plants in the lake, which are faintly shadowy, and it feels particularly weird at night.After a slight gust of wind, you can hear the sound of "rustling", which is very scary.

The eldest son of the Wang family rowed to the middle of the lake, and saw a small boat parked there.The boats here are very small, and there is no need to get on the boat at all. You can see everything with just one probe. There is no one on it, it is empty, and there is nothing.

The eldest son of the Wang family parked his boat beside the empty boat and called his brother a few times, but no one answered him.

Suddenly, there was a "crash".

There are sounds in the water!

The eldest son of the Wang family was so frightened that he trembled all over, and looked into the water with a lantern.

It seemed to be a human figure, but it was too dark, and there was also a black shadow in the originally cool water, so I couldn't see clearly at all.

The black shadow moved, and there was another sound of water, and the black shadow swam to the right at lightning speed.

The eldest son of the Wang family yelled in fright and sat down on the boat.His lantern also fell, and it went out when it fell on the boat, and it became darker all around.

The eldest son of the Wang family said that it was not a human figure at all, it must be the legendary water ghost.The water ghost swam so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye.And in the process of swimming, there is no need to take a breath, just like a water snake.

The eldest son of the Wang family was terrified and didn't dare to stay any longer, so he ran back home in a hurry, and only after he got home did he remember his younger brother.

Everyone in the Wang family was scared. The eldest son said that the water ghost must have dragged his younger brother into the water.

After all, he rowed the boat for so long and never saw his younger brother come up. How can a living person hold his breath for such a long time? He will definitely not survive.

Everyone in the village is superstitious, and they dare not go out again after encountering this kind of thing. They only hope that the youngest son can come back by himself, but he still hasn't come back until dawn.

The sky was getting brighter, and the Wang family couldn't sit still. They ran out to tell the neighbors about the situation, and mobilized everyone to go to the water's edge to find someone.

As soon as the people in the village heard it, the men all went into the water with their boats to salvage it, and the children and women stood on the bank and watched. No one dared to act alone, for fear of being dragged down by the water ghost.

However, after salvaging for a long time, they did not see a single ghost, nor did they see the body of the youngest son of the Wang family.

When Chu Yuyang and the others came to find him, they still couldn't find the body.

Princess Hongxia stopped listening, and said, "Chu Yuyang, tell me quickly, what is going on?"

Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Princess Hongxia said dissatisfied: "What do you mean you don't know?"

Chu Yuyang said: "I can't see anyone alive or dead. I don't know if the youngest son of the Wang family is dead. How can I say what's going on. Besides, it's dark at night, so maybe I made a mistake. I didn't see it with my own eyes. See, how do you know what's going on."

Just as Chu Yuyang finished speaking, a person next to her suddenly said, "You mean, I'm lying?"

Chu Yuyang turned her head and saw a strong man in his early thirties. The strong man's face was a little pale, and he seemed to be in a bad condition. He was glaring at them angrily.

"Brother Wang, that's not what they mean."

The little girl hurriedly said: "It's just a guess what's going on."

It turned out that this strong man was the eldest son of the Wang family, and he was the "water ghost" he discovered in the middle of the night.

At some point, the girl from the Li family stood beside her, and said unhappily, "What do these outsiders know? They just know how to make sarcastic remarks. Brother Wang, don't be as knowledgeable as them."

The girl from the Li family gave Princess Hongxia a blank look as she spoke.

They originally planned to swim in the lake, but now there is no way to swim in the lake, so they had to go back.The little girl said apologetically, "Why don't we go up the mountain and have a look?"

Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "It's better...farewell."

The little girl sighed and said, "Although the second brother of the Wang family is very cunning, but we have been together for so long, wouldn't he really die? It must be that he always does not do good things on weekdays and makes the water ghosts stare at him." gone."

Princess Hongxia gossiped and asked, "What's going on?"

The little girl said: "Brother Wang is a good old man, hard-working and straight-tempered. Everyone likes him. But the second brother of the Wang family is different. Although he looks a little more handsome, he doesn't do anything on weekdays and always likes to go out. He went to the village and said that he could make a fortune, but every time he left, he took almost all the savings of the Wang family, but every time he came back, he was in debt."

"Ah?" Princess Hongxia said, "What is he going to do?"

The little girl said: "I didn't know it at first, but later I heard from my father that the second elder brother of the Wang family took money from the family and went to gamble outside the casino. Although he sometimes wins, he still loses in the end." Yes, I lost all my money, and even borrowed money from people I don’t know, and owed a whole lot of debt. A few days ago, my parents saw how pitiful the Wang family was, and borrowed them a lot of money. Everyone in the village He is an acquaintance, and he also lent a lot of money to the Wang family, but he doesn't know when he will get it back."

The little girl sighed again as she spoke, and said: "If something happens to the second brother of the Wang family, the money probably won't be able to get back. Alas, everyone is dead, and the white-haired man is already sending the black-haired man." Now, let’s deal with the old man asking for money, this kind of thing, alas..."

They talked all the way back to the entrance of the village, and the little girl said: "Some time ago, I also heard that the second brother of the Wang family owed a lot of money outside, and he wanted to exchange money with treasures in the ancestral hall. Found."

Princess Hongxia asked in surprise, "What kind of treasure is it?"

The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know either. It's enshrined in the ancestral hall in the village. It's put in a box. I don't know what it is. But my parents said it was a relic of the benefactor and it is very, very valuable." of."

Princess Hongxia is not interested in valuable things, she is only interested in new or strange things.

When they returned to the house, Chu Yuyang and the others were about to leave. As soon as the little girl heard this, she said, "Let me prepare some dry food for you, you can eat it on the way."

Chu Yuyang said: "No need, we only need to go back in the morning, and we will arrive at noon."

Princess Hongxia was generous, gave the little girl a lot of money, and even gave her a golden hairpin, and then she was about to say goodbye.

The little girl was a little bit reluctant to part with them. After all, she was alone at home, and it would take a few days for her parents to come back. After sending them off, they were alone again.

Several people walked to the door and were about to untie the horses and leave.Suddenly, a few people came over and blocked their way.

The leader was the man who admired Princess Hongxia, and said: "The body of the youngest son of the Wang family has been found."

The little girl stared wide-eyed and said, "I found it...Second brother Wang is really... dead?"

The man nodded.

The girl from the Li family also followed, staring and saying, "Someone has already left the village to report to the officials. Now that Second Brother Wang is dead, you can't leave either."

"What?" Princess Hongxia stared and said, "We didn't kill the dead, why can't we leave?"

The girl from the Li family said: "Who knows if you killed the person. The village was fine, but when you foreigners came yesterday, the second brother of the Wang family died. I think you killed the person. You just want to kill someone. Did you run away? I can't tell you to go."

Princess Hongxia was very angry and said, "What are we killing him for?"

The girl from the Li family said, "Who knows, you can't leave anyway."

Chu Yuyang felt that his head was getting big, and he encountered trouble when he came out. He looked up at the sun, and if he didn't go back at noon, he wondered what Zhao Xingduan would do to him.

Princess Hongxia almost quarreled with the girl from the Li family, but soon, the official came.When Chu Yuyang saw it, he immediately stopped an official and said, "Bring me a message to the palace."

The official was taken aback by him, and then looked at him like an idiot.

Enter the palace?Anyone can enter the palace?

Chu Yuyang took off the token from his waist and said, "Take this and go over there."

At any rate, it was also around the capital, and the token of the official's opinion was immediately stunned. The token of Dali Temple Minister was a third-rank official!It was the first time in his life that he saw such a powerful official.

The official almost knelt down to Chu Yuyang, and even scrambled and rode to the capital.

Chu Yuyang rubbed the twitching forehead, and said, "Where is the corpse? Take me to have a look, solve the case earlier, let us go back earlier, okay?"

The officials were respectful to Chu Yuyang, but the girl from the Li family didn't know the token, so she felt baffled.She didn't want to listen to Chu Yuyang's words, but when the officials glared at her, she got scared and took them to see the corpse.

The corpse had already been moved to the Wang family, who lived in the west of the village.In addition to the Wang family, the west of the village is the ancestral hall of the village.

Wang's house looks very simple, and the few dilapidated small houses are probably leaking, and there are crying sounds from inside.

Chu Yuyang walked in, and sure enough, she saw a dead body in the yard.The body was wet all over, and the Wang family was all in the yard, and the two old people were crying very sadly.

The body looked like it had been salvaged from the water, but it wasn't very soaked.

Chu Yuyang asked: "How did you salvage the corpse?"

The girl from the Li family said reluctantly, "It was fished out of the water and floated on the surface."

Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "Floating on the water? How is that possible?"

When the officer heard this, he said, "Bold, how dare you lie in front of adults?"

The girl from the Li family was taken aback and said, "I'm not lying, I'm just floating on the water."

They also saw many people salvaging corpses in the morning, but there were no floating corpses on the lake.If there were floating corpses at that time, everyone would not have been salvaging them all the time.

Although the lake was quite wide, it wasn't too big. Chu Yuyang could see clearly at that time that there were no floating corpses.

The girl from the Li family said that they have been fishing for a long time, and basically the entire lake has been salvaged, and each family is responsible for an area, but they have not found it at all.

Later, everyone prepared to call it a day, go back to eat, and come back to salvage in the afternoon.After everyone left, Miss Li found that one of her earrings was missing, so she went back to the lake alone to look for it.Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the lake, she saw a shadow floating in the water.

The girl from the Li family was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground. It was too scary for her to run into a water ghost in broad daylight.

She turned around and wanted to run, but after taking a second look, she was even more surprised. It wasn't the water ghost that was floating, but the second brother of the Wang family that they had salvaged for a long time!

The girl from the Li family immediately yelled for someone to come over, and many people rushed over after hearing the news, and they all saw the floating corpse, so they rowed over and salvaged him.

But the youngest son of the Wang family was already dead, and what was salvaged was a corpse.They hurriedly sent the body to Wang's house, and then someone reported it to the official.
