Golden Fishing Village

Ao Muyang fought with Youfu at home. Youfu was thrown into the basin several times and climbed out several times to escape. At this time, his fur was wet and stuck to his body, like a big water rat.

He was busy, and his cell phone rang. Lu Zhizi helped him take the phone and saw: "Comrade village chief, it's Uncle Qianqi's call."

"Ask him what he wants when you answer it..." Ao Muyang stretched out his hand to pinch Youfu's neck. Youfu shrank his neck and flicked his hoof, turned around and ran away.

Lu Zhizi pressed the hands-free button, and Ao Qianqi's voice came out: "Village chief, village chief, the kid from Muguang's family was dragged to Longxian Lake by a water ghost and captured a substitute! Come to the lake at the entrance of the village quickly, the kid was captured by a water ghost!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Muyang's face suddenly became solemn. He reacted the same as Youfu before, turning around and running out.

Lu Zhizi hurriedly followed, leaving Youfu standing in the corner with his back against the wall, staring with big eyes and a blank face.

Following quickly, Lu Zhizi asked, "Being caught by a water ghost as a substitute? What does it mean?"

"It's a rural ghost story. They were pulled into the water by something. Damn it. I saw them this morning. They were a group of children swimming in Longxian Lake." Ao Muyang said briefly.

Many villages near large lakes and rivers have legends about water ghosts catching substitutes, which means that someone drowned in the water and became a water ghost.

Water ghosts are a special kind of ghost. If they don't have a substitute, they can't enter the six reincarnations. They must capture people and drown them as their substitutes.

Ao Muyang sneered at this kind of story. If the old water ghost dragged a new person to drown and became a new ghost, would the new ghost have no resentment? Would he be allowed to go to reincarnation honestly? Definitely not. The new ghost would have to fight him to death anyway!

When they arrived at the lake, several children were shivering on the shore, surrounded by four or five adults.

The Ao Muguang mentioned by Ao Qianqi was Ao Xiaomi's father. It was Ao Xiaomi who was dragged into the water before.

When Ao Muyang arrived and saw the child sitting on the shore, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: "Nothing serious happened, right?"

Seeing him coming, the villagers immediately surrounded him and started talking as if they had found a key figure:

"We met a water ghost. This time Xiaomi was really caught by a water ghost."

"Fortunately, we found it early. Ao Xiaoniu is a promising kid. He quickly jumped into the water to help him. Otherwise, he would have become a water ghost now."

"Go to the town to find Master Fu Jizi. We have to ask him to calculate how many years it has been since there were water ghosts in the lake. Finally, there are water ghosts again. Alas. "

"It must be related to this year. Look at this year, it's dry and hot. This is the work of the drought demon! The drought demon and the water ghost are a pair. There's nothing wrong with them appearing together!"

Lu Zhizi asked: "How do you know it's the water ghost?"

Ao Qianqi pointed at Ao Xiaomi's ankle and said: "Teacher Lu, don't disbelieve it. We'd rather believe in ghosts than not. Look, look..."

Everyone looked at Ao Xiaomi's ankle. Ao Xiaomi subconsciously shrank back, but he was only wearing swimming trunks and couldn't cover his ankle.

There was a circle of dark blue marks on the boy's ankle, as if he had been held and squeezed hard by something. In addition, there were wounds on the soles of his feet, but they were not deep and did not bleed much.

"This is the handprint of the water ghost!"

"Xiaomi, you can't go into the water this year. The water ghost left a mark on you. If you go into the water again, he will take you away!"

"What a sin, this poor kid!"

Ao Muyang went up to check carefully. He stretched out his hand to hold Ao Xiaomi's ankle, and then asked: "Xiaomi, tell me about it."

Ao Xiaomi is a child who has never seen the world. At this time, he was frightened and choked. The whole person was a little dazed. He trembled his lips for a long time, and then spit out two mouthfuls of lake water without saying anything.

"Not good, this is the soul of the water ghost." The face of the village elder Ao Zhijing tightened.

Ao Muyang looked at the others and asked, "Who was the first to notice Xiaomi being dragged into the water?"

Ao Xiaoniu pointed at Zhu Zhu and said, "It was Xiaozhu. Fortunately, Xiaozhu saw it, and Xiaojun and I swam over quickly."

Zhu Zhu stammered, "I saw him suddenly sink into the water, with only two arms flapping on the lake surface. I didn't see anything else."

"I was the first to swim over," Ao Xiaoniu added, "I didn't see anything either. When I swam over, Xiaomi floated up again, but he did say that something grabbed his ankle and dragged him down..."

Hearing this, Ao Xiaomi suddenly said, "It was a fish, not a water ghost, but a big fish!"

"This The child was scared silly. "

"Not necessarily, water ghosts can change in many ways!"

"Maybe it's a water ghost with a fish head? Xiaomi, think carefully, is it a water ghost with a fish head?"

Hearing this, Ao Xiaomi hesitated: "With a fish head? I saw a fish head, anyway, there is a fish head..."

The man who made the guess had a solemn expression and said, "Let me guess it..."

"You guessed it." Ao Muyang said unhappily, "Don't spread rumors here, and don't spread rumors when you go back. This is a fish that bit his ankle, and it is definitely a big catfish!"

The villagers are very clear about the ferocity of catfish, and the nicknames of water tiger and water widower can prove this.

But, catfish dare to attack people? Such a thing has never happened in the history of the village.

Ao Qianqi immediately retorted: "How could it be a mullet fish? The mullet fish has four rows of teeth. If it bites Xiaomi's ankle, it will definitely leave a wound. Look at it now, this kind of wound is obviously a pinch. from."

Ao Muyang said: "It's a giant catfish, and it's a big catfish, about two meters long. Teacher Lu and I encountered it when we were diving."

Lu Zhizi reacted: "Ah, are you talking about that dangerous big fish we saw when we went diving in the forest at the bottom of the lake?"

Ao Muyang nodded: "That's it. This anchovy is very big and has a big mouth. It does have several rows of teeth, but the anchovy's mouth is very long, like a bird's beak, and the teeth are arranged back. Come on, you guys Look, what it bit Xiaomi's ankle was the fish's mouth process. There are no teeth on the fish's mouth process, so it leaves this kind of pinch mark. Their teeth are far back in the mouth, so Xiaomi's instep and the center of the foot touch. That’s why it was scratched.”

Ao Xiaomi murmured: "Yes, a big fish head bit me. Well, the mouth is very long. I have never seen a fish like that."

There are not many fish like water tigers, so it is normal for fishermen's children not to recognize them, because if there are too many of these fish in fresh water, they will drive out other fish: water tigers are purely carnivorous fish!

Ao Muyang said: "It was definitely that big water tiger. It probably saw Xiaomi's feet shaking and mistook it for what kind of fish it was, so it stepped forward and wanted to swallow it. But after it bit it, it found that it had bitten It was something big that arrived and was scared away again. Didn’t Mavericks say that when they passed by, Xiaomi floated up on his own.”
