I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

Chapter 91: not worth pity

The fisherman's name is Da Zhao. He is almost forty and still a bachelor. For generations, his family has been fishing and relying on the river for food.

On the day when the Jinyan River flooded, he happened to go to the county seat to collect bills from restaurants and fish restaurants that often served fish.

When he was about to leave, Zhao Da was pulled by the owner of the fish shop and asked about the story of the stone ox in the river.

During that time, the story of the stone ox being dug up in the Jinyan River was widely reported in the entire county town. Anyone who knew the details and went to Goulan Washe to listen to the song would be helped to check the account.

In order to listen to Zhao Dahao's talk, the owner of the fish shop invited him to have a drink.

Zhao Da also chatted after drinking. He mixed what he had seen and heard with some legends and stories he had heard, and talked about it with more enthusiasm. The owner of the fish shop was amazed and called this meal. Worth the drink.

It was a good chat, but the time was wasted.

When the wine was exhausted and the cowhide was finished blowing, it became dark.

Not to mention that the county town closed the city gate, even if it hadn't closed, Zhao Da didn't dare to walk home alone at night, so he made do with sleep in the fish shop all night.

It wasn't until the next day, when Zhao Da left the county seat, that he found out that the Jinyan River was flooded, his fishing boat was washed away, and his home was flooded.

The only luck is that others are fine.

And several of his friends disappeared in this flood.

After the stone ox was put back into the Jinyan River by the county magistrate, and the water was rested, Zhao Da also bought incense wax paper money and paid homage to several of his friends by the river.

What Zhao Da didn't expect was that on the seventh night of the flood, he dreamed of a few missing friends.

They saw their hair disheveled. Although they still looked like they were alive, they were soaked all over and the water kept running, but Zhao Da was terrified.

A few friends told him not to be afraid and expressed their intentions, but they came to him for help.

Zhao Daxin said that these friends are already dead, so don't come to him to help find the ghost, right? If you ask, it is true.

How could Da Zhao dare to do such a thing? Hastily refused. But several of his friends begged bitterly, asking him to help, otherwise the soul could only be trapped in the river, suffering day and night, unable to escape.

In the end, a few friends turned their faces, revealing their swollen and rotten appearance after death, and threatened Zhao Da with their teeth, saying that if he did not help, they would not go near Jinyan River in the future, otherwise they would definitely kill Zhao Da. dragged to the bottom of the river.

They have to die together, so they can show their sincere friendship.

After the coercion, they enticed him again, saying that if Zhao Da was willing to help them, he would let Zhao Da make a small fortune. They also said that the ghost they were looking for was not a good person, but a few bandits who robbed the Dao, so Zhao Da did not mean to harm people, but to eliminate harm for the people.

Under the coercion and inducement of several ghost friends, Zhao Da compromised.

But after hearing that these people were bandits, Zhao Da was frightened again. How could he beat bandits?

When the ghost friends heard his worries, they all laughed and said that he didn't need to do anything, as long as he punted a boat to the broken bridge tomorrow and crossed the river with the bandits.

When Zhao Da heard that he didn't need to do anything, he felt a lot more relieved, but he raised a new question: there is no ship.

His boat was swept away in a flood.

A few ghost friends let him not have to worry, and he could see the boat somewhere along the river the next morning. There are also a few catfish on the boat, let him cook for the bandits to eat. He also specifically told him not to eat it by himself, because that was the 'life-buying money' they gave to the ghost.

After saying these words, the ghost friend disappeared, and Zhao Da woke up.

Zhao Da originally thought this was a dream, but after getting up, he found a circle of silt around him.

Taking a closer look, it was all the silt at the bottom of the river, and it was still fresh. Not only was the icy river water flowing, but there were even small fish and shrimp jumping in it.

Da Zhao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and only then did he realize that what just happened was not a simple dream.

The next morning, he went to the location by the river that several ghost friends had said, and he saw a boat as expected.

On the deck of the boat there were still some water plants and silt, which looked like they had just been fished from the bottom of the river. A few catfish were placed on the deck, still alive. When they saw Zhao Da coming, they kept jumping.

Zhao Da dared to get on the boat. Following the instructions of a few ghost friends in his dreams, he packed up the catfish, cooked them in the pot, and propped up the boat to the side of the collapsed bridge.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to see five people appear by the river.

When they found out that the bridge was gone, the five people first questioned him, then took out their knives and forced him to cross the river by boarding a boat, otherwise they would chop him down.

Zhao Da was still a little hesitant, but when he saw the gesture of the five people, he no longer hesitated.

When the five got on the boat, they smelled the fragrance and immediately grabbed the fish from the pot and ate it, without Zhao Da going to fool them.

When the boat reached the middle of the river, one of the five people suddenly found something in the water and hurriedly called their companions to see it.

Just as the five people gathered by the boat and looked into the river with their heads, five pairs of bruised and black arms suddenly protruded out of the river and dragged them into the water.

The five were thrashing in the river, while Zhao Da was frightened, and hurriedly punted the boat to run, but found that the boat seemed to be caught by something underwater and could not move at all.

Da Zhao thought that he was going to be finished, his feet were weak in fright, and he sat on the boat and kept cursing.

As a result, after the five people were completely dragged into the bottom of the river, and there was no movement, several baggages were thrown onto the boat from the river.

Zhao Da took a look and saw that it was the five people who had carried it on their backs earlier.

At this time, the boat was also able to move. He punted the boat to the shore in a hurry. After landing, he opened the bag to check. There were some clothes and broken silver inside.

Seeing that there was no one left or right, Da Zhao ran off the boat with these burdens.

He thought that this was the end of the matter, but that night, several of his ghost friends came to bid him farewell, but they brought new water ghosts and asked him for help.

Da Zhao didn't dare to refuse, and after doing it once, he was no longer so afraid, not to mention that he could make a fortune, which made him even look forward to it.

So Zhao Da made a deal with the water ghosts in the Jinyan River. He brought people to the water ghosts, and the water ghosts had to die for the ghosts, and he got money.

Zhao Da soon found out that he was not the only one doing deals with water ghosts.

There are also some surviving fishermen and boatmen who are doing the same thing.

At the beginning, they had to avoid each other, and they felt embarrassed when they met.

But within a few days, everyone got used to it, and even stopped by the river together, waiting in line for the 'business' to come to the door.

The ghosts they pulled for the water ghosts have also changed from bandits, pranksters, etc. in the beginning to everyone, including the old and the weak, women and children.

After talking about this experience, the boat also propped up to the shore.

Da Zhao knelt down on the boat board, begging for mercy with tears and tears: "I beg you to let me go, I was really forced..."

Zhu Xiucai hummed: "Don't pretend to be pitiful, you may have been forced at first, but after seeing the money, your heart changed. And when your ghost friend came to the door, you could go to the night vigil. People report the case and let the night watchman handle the matter. But you didn't do that, which shows that you have been tempted by profit from the beginning. So, don't say you were forced."

Zhao Da hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, but unfortunately no one sympathized with him.

Liao Lishi even spat at him and scolded: "If you are dragged as a substitute for ghosts, they are all bandits and rogues. I also respect you as a man, and you can be regarded as killing harm for the people. But you dragged behind. Those who go to die for ghosts are innocent passers-by, even children. You are pitiful? Isn't it pitiful for these people who have been dragged by you to die for ghosts? Why haven't you thought about spared their lives? "

After the boat docked, Qin Shaoyou arranged for two wrestlers~www.readwn.com~ to let them hurry up and rush to Longtai County, which belongs to this place, and report the incident to the night watchman and the county government.

At this moment, he turned around and ignored Zhao Da's begging for mercy, and just said: "I don't quite understand something, you conspire with ghosts, so you are not afraid that in the end, you will also be dragged into the water by the water ghost and become a surrogate ghost? "

Zhao Da said in a trembling voice, "The water ghosts promised not to hurt us. Besides, if they drag us into the water, there will be no one to help them send surrogate ghosts."

"Then you shouldn't be afraid. The person you dragged to be a scapegoat will take revenge on you?"

"Don't be afraid, the water ghosts said that as long as they are there, the ghosts will not dare to touch us. Even if they all find the ghosts, they will notify us in time. And we also discussed that the ghosts are also looking for ghosts, so we still stay away. don't let us..."

Good guy, are you stuck here to get a bug?

Qin Shaoyou shook his head and sneered.

"Aren't you afraid that you will be arrested soon and the night watchman finds out?"

Zhao Da was embarrassed.

Of course they were afraid, but in the end they were all blinded by lard and blinded by temporary interests.

And as long as there is no accident, I will take a fluke and feel that it will always be fine.

Qin Shaoyou snorted and asked again: "There is another question, as you said just now, the boiled catfish on the boat is the 'life-buying money' offered by the water ghost, and those who eat the catfish will be dragged by the water ghost. Into the water... but we didn't eat these catfish, why did the water ghosts still appear?"

You can't just look at my handsome, lively and healthy body, and just want to drag me into the water and become a gentleman, right?
