Chapter 63 Have you heard of water monkeys?

Li Chu rolled the eyes speechlessly, “None of them, that’s what they grew up with.”

“Long?”

Wang Longqi was stunned, this is beyond his knowledge.

“It was the white fox last time, the one you wanted to take home and raise.” Li Chu said.

“Oh!” Wang Longqi suddenly said: “It’s it, it was still on me at the time…”

As he spoke, he didn’t know what picture he thought of, and his face suddenly floated. A wretched smile.

“She has already transformed, but for some reason, I have to take her in now.” Li Chu explained two sentences, then glared at Wang Longqi, “What exactly are you here for?”

“hehe.” Wang Longqi sneered apologetically, “I did come to you with business.”

paused, he asked in a low voice: “Have you heard Water monkeys?”

“Water monkeys?”

Li Chu thought about it, this thing is quite famous, and almost wherever there is water, there will be legends of water monkeys. But what is its original shape, there are different opinions.

Wang Longqi saw his expression and knew that he was not very clear, so he began to preach mysteriously.

“You know, my family is in the seafood business. The fish that the fishermen brought back from the sea, the medicine ingredients they picked up, and some other weird stuff, all of us have a shop to collect them. .”

Li Chu is nodded, Yuhang Town is near the sea and has many Water Elements, and there are many fishing villages under its jurisdiction. The Wang Family started out by collecting sea goods. Although they also derived many other transactions later, this is still the main body of their business.

“In the easternmost part of Yuhang County, there is Wangyu Village. They are the most seaside villages in Yuhang County, and they are a little far from our town. Our store has cooperated with their village for many years. It’s very close.”

“Yesterday was fifteen. The people in our shop went to receive the goods as usual, but this time they didn’t receive anything. Of course, the guy has to ask, but the people in their village hesitated. My, I finally said something amazing.”

“The village is not big, and only two large boats can go out to fish, each with dozens of sailors, taking turns Going to sea.”

“The boat that went out to sea this time was fine when it went out, but when it came back… it came back with a boat of water monkeys!”

“en? “Li Chu frowned: “Real water monkey?”

“Yes, it looks like a monkey, but it is covered with green scales. It can move on land, but every few hours You must soak in the water.”

Li Chu asked again: “Did the sailor get killed or did the sailor become like this?”

Wang Longqi said: “It should be the sailor who changed, you After listening to it, you will know. Some villagers thought it was some kind of weirdness, and they would fight when they picked up the guy. Those water monkeys began to beg for mercy and made gestures. Although they couldn’t speak human’s words, they could understand and know the whole village. people.”

“Only one person on the boat knew some words, and he could stand up and communicate with the villagers by writing on the ground. He wrote a lot of things that only family members know, and it can be confirmed that these are the boats. Sailors.”

Turn people into sprites?

Li Chu pondered, this is a strange thing.

“After a lot of exchanges, the villagers understood what happened to the people who went out to sea.”

“They went out to the sea to fish this time, and the harvest was very poor, because the familiar routes were all blocked. The fight was almost done. So they negotiated a slight change in the next route, and they returned with a full load. However, on the way back, they encountered a rainstorm.”

“This storm is extremely violent and extremely long-lasting. Wait. After the rain and the weather, they found that their ship had been blown near an island.”

“There is actually a palace on this island!”

“The sailors Their food and water were almost exhausted, and they were exhausted by the rainstorm, so they wanted to go to the island to make things right.”

“The owner of the palace welcomed them very warmly, saying that he He was a destitute aristocrat who moved all his belongings to this small island and established a hidden land of peace and prosperity.”

“He also prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited a beautiful maid to They danced. After drinking and eating, they even asked the maids to serve them in bed. Those maids… were gentle and active…”

Seeing him shaking his head with an ecstatic expression, he seemed to be aware of the details. Very understand like.

Li Chu wondered: “These are all written by the water monkey?”

“Uh, this is my own brain.” Wang Longqi scratched his head, said with a smile: “But the specific process should be similar.”

“When they were about to leave on the second day, they were still reluctant to part. The host said that he was willing to pay a lot of money to buy what they had hit. The price of all fish is more than a hundred times higher than the actual price.”

“So they happily left a boat full of fish and went home with a lot of gold and silver treasures.

“So far, it’s been a good thing. But…something weird happened.”

“Not far from the island, the boat just One sailor turned into a water monkey! The rest of the sailors suddenly thought they had met a monster, but soon no one was spared, and all became like this.”

“The sailors were terrified, But there is no other way, I can only use this body to drive the boat back, and then explain it to the villagers.”

“Because this matter is too evil, the villagers of Wangyu Village dare not speak out. They were afraid that outsiders would think that there were a group of monsters in their village.”

“Their original plan was to secretly go to Hangzhou government to report to the people of Skyward Tower, but they were worried that if people from the government did not dare to go out to sea to find the island, I will be ruthless and will directly solve all the water monkeys, so… I am very entangled.”

“My guy has heard about you, hehe, I will help you promote it. Well.” Wang Longqi patted his chest, “so he told the villagers that there is a Little Daoist Priest in the town, who is very good at exorcism, maybe let him try it.”

“The villagers are very happy. , my guy came back and told me about it. I think you are indeed better than the people in Skyward Tower if you please.”

Wang Longqi looked at Li Chu with ardent eyes.

Li Chu hesitated: “The unknown overseas island… I don’t know what evil it is. In fact, I think it is better to look for Skyward Tower. After all, Immortal Sect has a deep background and many experts. Miss Li and I After some dealings, they are not like the people in the yamen…”

He paused when he said this, some words were not easy to say, and they understood everything.

Wang Longqi seemed to be intentional or unintentional, whispered: “Although they have changed into water monkeys, the gold and silver jewelry they brought back from that boat is indeed true. The villagers said, if Someone can help them rescue these sailors, and they would rather use these gold and silver jewelry as a reward…”

Li Chu took his hand: “We will set off immediately, and we can’t let the villagers suffer any more!”

“hehe.” Wang Longqi smiled: “Okay, but it’s not that urgent. I have to go back and pack my luggage, after all, I might be staying for a few nights this time, and I’ll pick you up in two hours. You.”

“Okay.” Li Chu nodded.

His luggage is simple, a watery azure daoist robe and white lining. Because he wears this style of clothes all the year round, it often causes a misunderstanding that Little Daoist Priest never changes his clothes.

But this also has some advantages, that is, you never have to think about what to wear when you go out.

As soon as he packed up, he saw Little Bai, the fox girl who had returned from outside, rushing in, “Master, I heard that you are going out to exorcise evil spirits?”

“Yeah. “

“Let me go with you.” The fox girl said softly.

“en?” Li Chu was stunned, “what are you going to do?”

The fox girl said slowly: “I can do a lot, I can help you Doing chores, sleeping with you, fighting for you, chatting with you, I can also learn from humans to cook for you…”

Li Chu raised his hand: “Wait, is there a sneak in there? What’s weird?”
