"The pan is cooking catfish." Zhu Xiucai replied in a low voice.

"What happened to the catfish?" Qin Shaoyou asked in confusion.

He didn't do any research on fish, he only knew that catfish could be eaten. He didn't understand why Zhu Xiucai reacted this way.

Zhu Xiucai explained: "Catfish are ferocious by nature and like to eat meat. In addition to preying on fish and shrimp in the water, they also eat carrion."

Carrion?

Qin Shaoyou changed color slightly, but he understood what Zhu Xiucai meant.

There was a flood in this river before, not only the bridge collapsed, but also the villages along the bank, so someone must have been drowned!

The drowned person, lucky, the body was salvaged, unlucky, the body was entangled by water plants and other things, it can only be buried at the bottom of the river.

The catfish in the river wants to eat carrion. No one can tell exactly what kind of meat they ate during this period of time.

Therefore, it is better not to eat these catfish.

Liao Lishi, who was standing beside his old friend's coffin, couldn't help frowning after hearing the whispers of Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai, and lowered his voice:

"It is said that these people who seek a living in the water should be especially taboo about such things. How can they cook catfish at such a time? It is impossible that there is only catfish in this river, right?"

"It's really weird."

Qin Shaoyou nodded lightly, and moved quietly, approaching the fisherman who was punting.

But they didn't get too close, they kept a good distance.

This distance will not arouse the fisherman's alertness, and at the same time, when the fisherman really does something strange, he can be subdued at the first time.

Zhu Xiucai moved his footsteps quietly, forming a cooperative trend with Qin Shaoyou.

At the same time, he remembered an old incident and said in a low voice, "When I was working in a township and county, I once dealt with a case where a ghost bought his life. A ghost deliberately threw copper coins near the official road to lure passers-by to pick it up.

Anyone who finds this money will find that when they spend it, they will find that the money is copper and silver when they are picked up, but it will turn into paper money when it is spent, and it also says to lend you a few years of life. something like that...

Do you think that the catfish cooked on this boat, like paper money, is used to borrow Yangshou?

If you eat them, you will be borrowed from Yangshou? "

The night watchman is full of blood and often deals with ghosts, so his sixth sense is much sharper than others.

At this moment, Zhu Xiucai felt something was wrong and was making bold speculations.

Liao Lishi frowned and said, "If you really borrowed fish for Yangshou, who would be borrowing it? Are these boatmen? They don't look like people who know the art of witchcraft, and they are not too old, far from the age of You need to borrow Yangshou to extend your life.”

"It's not necessarily for them to borrow Yangshou for themselves, maybe... for the drowned." Qin Shaoyou thought of a possibility.

Zhu Xiucai and Liao Lishi both changed their expressions.

Obviously, everyone thinks this speculation is possible.

Qin Shaoyou raised the volume, pretended to be chatting, and went to the punting fisherman's words: "Boatman, in the previous flood, a lot of people must have been drowned, right?"

The fisherman sighed, with some sadness in his eyes: "It's true that a lot of people were drowned."

Zhu Xiucai took over the topic and asked him: "The boatman, everyone in your family should be all right?"

The fisherman's body froze for a moment, and then he replied in an unnatural tone, "It's okay... Haha, it's okay."

Zhu Xiucai and Qin Shaoyou looked at each other.

They all saw that the fisherman was lying.

Before they could ask further questions, the fisherman had already reached the middle of the river with his boat.

At this moment, the night watchmen on the two ships suddenly felt a chill.

The chill penetrated through the skin and penetrated straight into the bones and internal organs, causing even the blood-filled night watchmen to shiver.

Immediately realized there was a problem!

This is the season of summer, and it is the end of the year. The sun is hot, how can it suddenly become so cold?

Even if the river wind blows, it shouldn't be like this.

A night watchman looked up at the sky, and suddenly found that the sun in the sky turned hazy at this moment.

It's like being caught by a dragon.

And this hazy feeling keeps getting stronger.

The next moment, they knew why there was such a strange hazy feeling.

But it was fog on the river, which blocked the sun.

Not only that, after the fog appeared, it strengthened and thickened at an extremely abnormal speed.

In just a few breaths, the fog shrouded on the river was so big that people couldn't see the sun at all, nor the people around them.

And this fog seems to have the effect of blocking the sound.

The sound of running water, paddles, and even the sounds of conversations that everyone heard when the boat was traveling in the river before, all disappeared at this moment.

No, it cannot be said that there is no.

Qin Shaoyou soon made a new discovery.

The sound should have been blocked by the fog, and it became very quiet, making it difficult for people to argue.

This kind of feeling is a bit like on the earth, when taking an airplane or an elevator to take off and land quickly, the pressure inside and outside the ear is unbalanced, which blocks the Eustachian tube and causes hearing loss.

If it was an ordinary person in this world, they would definitely be frightened by this strange scene.

But Qin Shaoyou and the others did not.

Not only were they not frightened, they also immediately controlled the fishermen on the two boats according to the direction they remembered.

Seeing Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai suddenly appearing in front of and beside him, the fisherman was stunned at first, then panicked.

He didn't seem to understand why these two people were not affected by the sudden fog? Not frightened by the sudden appearance of deafness?

Zhu Xiucai stared at the fisherman and asked with a sneer, "Come on, boatman, what's the matter with the fog? And the few catfish that were boiled in your pot, were they used to buy people's lives by virtue of their longevity?"

"I... I don't know what you're talking about. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" When the fisherman said this, he was a little stumped.

And looking at his appearance, he was not attacked by cold air, nor was his hearing blocked by strange fog.

Zhu Xiucai snorted coldly, and when he was about to ask another question, he suddenly felt that the light around him dimmed.

The fog that appeared on the river actually blocked out the sunlight, making the area shrouded in fog instantly darkened, as if it were night.

Immediately afterwards, a voice came from the fog.

At first these sounds were small, but soon they became loud, noisy and loud.

"There is indeed a problem!"

Qin Shaoyou didn't panic. After a brief debate, he heard the sound of surging water, the sound of river banks and houses being swept away.

But more than that, there are still screams, cries, and calls for help...

Qin Shaoyou immediately understood that these should be the sounds that appeared on the night of the flood.

more than sound...

In the gloomy river water, black shadows appeared.

Qin Shaoyou and the night watchmen immediately poured blood into their eyes, and even if the light was dark, they could clearly see the dark shadows appearing in the river.

It was a human head.

All the human heads are disheveled, their complexions are blue and purple, their entire faces are disproportionately swollen, their two eyeballs protrude, the pale ones have no bloodshot, their lips are turned out, and a black tongue sticks out...

After these heads emerged from the bottom of the river, they rushed towards the two boats from all directions.

"It's a water ghost!"

Zhu Xiucai's voice sounded beside Qin Shaoyou.

"Look for a water ghost for a dead ghost!"
