Do you think I look like a fairy?

Chapter 9 The Water Ghost Pulls People
Lao Zhang is naturally an honest man.

The ancestors have sold peaches here for generations. It can be said that they are honest people and earn money for nothing.

This neighborhood is surrounded by neighbors, who doesn't say hello to him from all over the world?

But rather.

Obviously, a car full of peaches was sold in the next day, and the life of the family is getting better and better. It can be said that it is thriving.

But he felt a little uncomfortable.

"The Taoist said that I have had twists and turns recently."

"But I'm just a small peach farmer, and I spend all day in the peach grove. How can there be any twists and turns?"

"Could it still be possible to fly into disaster?"

Lao Zhang was squatting in his small courtyard, smashing rotten peach pits and smoking his own dry pipe, feeling a little depressed.

Of course he didn't blame Wei Yi.

After all, the little Daoist leader, he knew at a glance that he was destined and capable.

And he's just honest and not stupid.

Apparently, people just said it because he was kind and generous, and gave the Taoist priest a few peaches to quench his thirst.

Otherwise.

An ordinary Taoist who doesn't matter may tell you: "The secrets of heaven must not be revealed."

If you run into a monk, they might give you a chance.

It is often the people at the bottom who can really feel the kindness of others.

At this time, a woman in a flowery gown came over. Although she didn't have the beauty of a country, she had the unique simplicity of the villagers:
"Master, what are you muttering about?"

"Hurry up and come over for dinner. Today I specially made a soft-shelled turtle."

Hear this.

Lao Zhang, who was still depressed just now, was instantly revived with full blood.

"You made a turtle?"

"This is a great supplement!"

"Quickly call a few children over and drink turtle soup together."

Lao Zhang knocked on his cigarette pipe, slapped his buttocks, and immediately forgot about it.

After all, turtle is not a cheap thing.

Those who can wear small flower jackets and eat soft-shelled turtles can be imagined, Lao Zhang's family can be counted as rich peasants.

After dinner.

After the family chatted lively for a long time, Lao Zhang also packed his bags and went to the peach forest opposite.

Taolinzi is not close to home.

If he doesn't guard at night, maybe there are really thieves trying to steal the peaches.

I don't care if I eat one or two during the day.

But if you steal a lot at night, you are killing him, and you have to guard the baby who eats.

The night was quiet.

The dark clouds in the sky also gradually covered the moon, so it can be said that you can't see your fingers.

Watched the first half of the night.

In the second half of the night, Lao Zhang felt that he was in a drowsy sleep.

Never slept so well before.

Half-dream and half-awake, I heard chattering beside my ear, as if someone was chatting.

The original sound was very complicated.

Hearing it was chattering in his ears, and his head was buzzing because of the noise.

If he was awake, he would definitely go out with the soles of his shoes and ask who was crying and howling here in the middle of the night.

But the problem is.

He was half asleep and half awake at this time, trying to wake up but unable to wake up, and there were noises in his ears again.

That made Lao Zhang angry!
He didn't know what was going on, he was very irritable, and he was still confused and suddenly said something:

"If you want to say it, say it clearly."

"Whispering there, crying ghosts and howling wolves, what are you whispering?"

That's not to say it's okay.

As soon as these words came out, the noise that had been very complicated just now suddenly became a little lighter.

It seems to be slowly disappearing.

Just when he thought he could have a good night's sleep, he found that the very noisy and inaudible voice in his ear turned into the voice of two people talking!
A very thick voice seemed to be complaining with some displeasure:

"How is the water ghost doing recently? I am getting more and more sad these days. No one comes to offer incense. The life is getting more and more miserable. There is no taste in my mouth, and I am almost fading like a bird."

the other side.

A very gloomy, but somewhat sharp voice sounded:

"Brother Shitou, you are in the midst of blessings and don't know your blessings. You have landed, but I am still in the river."

This seems to have opened up the chatterbox.

suddenly.

The owner of that gloomy and sharp voice suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously:

"Brother Shitou, let me tell you quietly, I got the secret today and learned the secret in advance, so maybe I will go ashore at this time tomorrow."

"When the time comes, I'll go and seek refuge with your elder brother, and the two of us can live happily, right?"

The big brother Shitou seemed a little curious, and asked in a low voice:

"Brother got some secret secret, can you tell me about it?"

Hear him.

The water ghost brother laughed softly, as if he was very proud:

"Brother doesn't know."

"Those of us who are water ghosts struggle in the water day and night, and are gloomy and wet all day long."

"But tomorrow will be different."

"Tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon, a middle-aged man with bald hair will come. He will shake the iron pot on his head three times. At that time, he will be thirsty and squat down by the Xiliang River to drink water."

"He is our scapegoat."

"When the time comes, we'll pull him down to replace us, and we won't have to be restrained by the river, and we won't have to work hard to talk to you, Brother Stone..."

In the end, the sound became lower and lower, and after a while, the sound could not be heard.

And this time.

Old Zhang also woke up suddenly.

He opened the small wooden house where he guarded the peach tree, and went out with a peach stick in his hand.

But looking around, he didn't find anything strange.

Don't say it's human.

Not even ghost shadows!

He was also really sleepy, so Lao Zhang went back and closed the door of his room, and began to fall asleep.

But for some reason, what he said last night seemed to be a needle that stuck in his heart, making him a little scruples.

at last.

During the day, Lao Zhang went back early, had a quick breakfast, and squatted by the Xiliang River.

Today he had to see if he had a dream last night, or if he really heard some weird words.

He had to see if there was such a person.

There is a specific depiction of the body shape, with an iron pot on the head, and three steps and three swings. Can this still be a normal person?
Moreover.

There are also a few village households by the Xiliang River. Wouldn't it be nice to ask for hot tea?Still have to come and drink a sip of river water.

If yesterday was really a water ghost.

If this person is really like this today, he is really rushing to reincarnate.

He took a few puffs of dry cigarettes.

Lao Zhang looked up at the sun and wiped the sweat off his brow:
"It's already high in the sun. Is anyone still coming? Wait a little longer and it will be past [-]:[-]."

to be frank.

At this time, Lao Zhang really regretted it more and more. He was really hit on the head with a stick to do such a boring thing.

Just as he patted the dust off his buttocks and was about to leave, he saw a figure suddenly flashing across the Xiliang River.

Look carefully.

A middle-aged man with thinning hair, holding an iron pot on his head, swaying every step of the way, who else could he be if he wasn't the protagonist discussed last night?
