36. Ambush it
Strong men lead the way.
Yunsong hurried to a large courtyard in the southwest of the town.
From a distance, the yard looks huge.
There are large trees and a small pond in front of the door.
Since ancient times, trees and ponds have been a unique sight at the doorsteps of wealthy families.
One can protect wealth, and the other can lead Feng Shui.
When you get closer, you can see that the yard is very dilapidated, and even the pond has dried up. Although there are many trees, they grow in disorder. When the wind blows, the branches and leaves sway randomly, giving it a desolate atmosphere.
When we walked to the entrance of the compound, the atmosphere changed. It was much more lively because there were dozens of people gathered outside the door.
Either with a fearful look on his face, or a gloomy look on his face.
Seeing the two people arriving, these people quickly made way and left the door.
Yun Song felt like a person for the first time.
The last time he felt like this was when his company had a team building event and everyone was so hungry. When he came out of the bathroom, there were so many people waiting for him eagerly.
There are still people in the courtyard, and there are quite a few of them, probably twenty or thirty.
These people were far away from each other in the northwest corner of the yard. There was a water tank in the northwest corner, and Wang Meng drowned in it.
The water tank is very ordinary. It is a large black pottery water tank used for drinking water at home. It is about half a person tall and half a person long in diameter. It is round and round.
It is strange that such a water tank can drown people.
But something strange happened.
The water tank was originally used for fish farming, and there were several crucian carp, carp and the like in it.
At this time, besides the fish, there was a young man inside.
The young man squatted in the water tank with his hands and knees. He raised his head and face with a sad expression on his face.
The water in the tank is clear, and under the sunlight, the young man's face and expression are extremely clear.
Yun Song felt that he was somewhat familiar.
After thinking for a moment, he remembered where the familiarity came from.
last night!
Last night, Dagouzi looked back at a thin young man standing at the edge of the river and smiled strangely.
That young man is Wang Meng!
Several fish were swimming slowly in the water tank, and their freshness was in sharp contrast to the dead silence of the young man.
Gradually, the ripples caused by the swimming fish made the young man's face become a little distorted.
In this way, the young man's crying appearance became even weirder.
A few days ago, when Yun Song was still on the mountain, the sight of a corpse would have frightened Yun Song into skipping a meal.
But after coming down the mountain, he encountered ghosts and saw dead people, and now he is immune to fear of corpses.
Others were not immune. They asked nervously or fearfully: "Real person, is it the water ghost who kills people?"
Yunsong didn't answer.
He looked at the crowd, only to see a bunch of people with their necks stretched out very long, like many ducks being held up by invisible hands.
A bunch of spectators!
He felt very unhappy and said: "Why are there so many people watching the fun? If there is anything interesting to see, please leave quickly and get out of here."
Wang Lin kicked his leather boots and walked out of the crowd. He said, "No, Master, these people in the courtyard are all playing money with Wang Meng today."
"When I learned that Wang Meng had drowned, I asked my brothers to block them in. Who knows if they were related to Wang Meng's death, right?"
Yun Song looked at him in surprise, what's growing in your head, kid? The depth and density of the sulci in your cerebral cortex are probably not as deep as the wrinkles on your cowhide, right?
Wang Lin continued to demonstrate his case analysis skills: "Real person, these people say that Wang Meng was drowned by a water ghost. In fact, who knows if there is any hidden secret?"
"First of all, we can't rule out that someone took advantage of the chaotic situation when the water ghost harmed people to take revenge and kill people, right?"
There is nothing wrong with this statement in itself.
But now Wang Meng, with a strange crying look on his face, died holding his knees in a water tank that was probably only as high as his waist. Are you telling me that he was murdered?
Yun Song felt that the good public security in the old town was due to the blessings of the obedient people and ancestors in the town.
He said: "Don't worry, Wang Meng was killed by the water ghost."
"Please tell Xiaodao clearly what happened today. What happened in the yard? Is this place a private casino?"
He knew that in order to prevent the authorities from taking advantage of them, some private casinos and casinos would be hidden in private houses.
But that was in an indifferent city, where neighbors didn't care about each other.
This is not possible in the countryside. People in the countryside know each other well, and casinos and the like cannot be hidden in private houses.
Wang Lin explained to him that this place was a temporary casino set up by the Gou family.
The Goujia Casino was originally a building, but some time ago the money-seeking people in the building killed the previous owner, Gou, so the small building was temporarily closed and the casino was temporarily moved to this place.
This place is an abandoned courtyard in the old town. It used to belong to a wealthy family in the town, but was later stolen by the Gou family.
As a result, I don’t know why the Gou family didn’t make use of this compound, but left it abandoned.
Wang Lin introduced to Yun Song that the compound was very large.
They are currently in the front yard, and there is also a backyard. The backyard is several times the size of the front yard, but it has been abandoned for many years, and few people usually set foot there.
In the past few days, the front yard has been turned into a casino, and there is a group of gamblers chatting and drinking here every day.
Wang Meng is one of them.
Today he came to gamble as usual. He came in the morning. He didn't eat at noon and played until the afternoon. Everything was normal.
Then he suddenly said he wanted to drink water and wanted to go out to drink water, and then he entered the water tank!
At that time, there were several people enjoying the shade in the yard. When they saw this scene, they realized something was wrong and quickly pulled him outside.
As a result, none of them could pull Wang Meng out with all their strength. On the contrary, Wang Meng slowly submerged into the water with a strange smile on his face. After submerging in the water, he suddenly changed to a look of mourning...
After hearing this, Yun Song asked: "Who came to pull him after he entered the water tank?"
A young man stood up and pointed to his side and said: "It was just a few of us at first, but then we shouted a few times and everyone in the place came."
Yun Song asked again: "When you pulled him, did you feel that he was cold?"
"Yes, it is indeed very cold!" The young man nodded hurriedly.
This answer reminded Yun Song of Xun Zhenzi's guess.
The young man continued: "At that time, Wang Meng was colder than the dead, but he was still alive. He laughed and drowned himself while laughing."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He laughed...
Yunsong realized that this 'smile' was the key.
He murmured: "Big Gouzi said that Er Gouzi smiled at him the day before yesterday, and that Big Gouzi died yesterday."
"Yesterday the big dog smiled at Wang Meng, and today Wang Meng died."
Everyone immediately reacted and shouted: "The water ghost's smile is a life-threatening smile!"
"Whoever it smiles at, it is ready to kill!"
Yun Song shouted and asked: "Fusheng Supreme Heavenly Lord, all donors, Wang Meng showed a strange smile before he died - then who did he show this smile to?"
Everyone looked at each other in panic. A white, fat middle-aged man smelling of medicine pointed at the young man who spoke first and said, "The one who smiled at him, at A Guang! I remember, it was the one who smiled at A Guang!"
A look of horror appeared on the young man's face. He shouted: "Don't talk nonsense about the medicine bag! It's not directed at me, no, it's directed at me!"
The fat middle-aged man said: "He just smiled at you. I was right next to you and could see clearly. You must have seen it too. He just smiled at you!"
Another young man said hesitantly: "Ah Guang, I seem to have seen Mengzi smiling at you when he was dying."
The person next to him immediately distanced himself from A Guang.
Everyone knows that being laughed at by a water ghost is not a good thing.
Aguang stood there alone, and suddenly the grievance came to his heart, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Yun Song pressed his shoulders and shouted: "Don't cry, why are you crying? Look at your potential!"
"When a water ghost smiles at people, it's just calling names. It's just naming the next person to harm. It naturally has to come to the door if it wants to harm people."
"So let's be prepared to ambush it. We can't be afraid of this ghost. We don't have to be afraid of this ghost. It's dead!"
Aguang choked and asked: "Zhenren, can you beat it?"
Yun Song smiled proudly and said, "You can't kill it!"
This is what he says from his heart, and it doesn’t matter how other people interpret it.
He then gave an order to Wang Lin: "Control everyone present immediately. We are the team ambushing the water ghosts."
"Then from now on, everyone is not allowed to leave the team without permission, and is not allowed to spread the news. We can no longer let the water ghost know that we are going to deal with it like yesterday, and give it a chance to prepare!"
Wang Lin was frightened by the water ghost. He rubbed his calf and asked: "Master, can you form a team? I..."
"You are the captain." Yun Song interrupted him crisply, "Please remember to Xiaodao that this operation to catch the water ghost can only succeed and not fail, because once it fails, the water ghost will be on guard and think about it later.
It would be difficult to ambush it!"
After hearing this, Wang Lin secretly complained: "Master, if you give such a heavy burden to your brother, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it!"
Yun Song patted him on the shoulder and said in a more serious tone: "You can withstand it."
"Can't stand it!"
"You will be the next one to die if you can't stand it. We will all call you captain when the time comes. The water ghost is so cunning. He must know how to catch the thief first..."
"Stop talking, you can stand it!"
Yun Song comforted him and said: "You don't have to be afraid. It's no problem. The water ghost's ability to come ashore will become very poor. There are so many of us and so many guns, not to mention that there is a real person sitting in charge. It is dead!"
The strong men followed and shouted:
"Yes, Commander, it's dead!"
"Kill it!"
The strong men comforted Wang Lin together and said he didn't need to be afraid. After all, they were more afraid in their hearts.
Yun Song asked the young men to gather everyone into the courtyard to make arrangements.
Everyone almost exploded after hearing what he said:
We heard that someone was killed by a water ghost and came to watch the fun.
At first glance, I found that I had become a lively person. I wanted to deal with the water ghost. Isn't this just waiting for others to see me being lively?
They shouted to run away.
Wang Lin took out his pistol and said cruelly: "Everyone here counts as one, and whoever dares to run away will be considered by our leader to be in the same group as the water ghost, and he will be shot on the spot!"
"Captain Wang, I can't help it. My wife's second aunt is going to have a baby. I have to go and see it."
"Go away, why are you going to see your wife's second aunt give birth to a baby?"
"She is carrying my child!"
"Captain Wang, there's nothing I can do about it. My sow may give birth at any time in the next two days, so I have to go take a look."
"What's wrong? Your sow is also carrying your child?"
"Captain Wang, I..."
"What kind of thing does your family give birth to?"
"No, Captain Wang, I am in poor health. As you all know, I am a medicine jar." The fat middle-aged man mentioned a bag he carried with him. The smell of medicine on his body came from the bag.
Yun Song said: "Fighting water ghosts is a tough battle. Those with physical problems don't need to go, but others must go!"
Everyone quickly prepared to report the condition.
Yun Song pinched his fingers and said, "Supreme Master Fu Sheng, according to Xiaodao's calculations, there are indeed a few people here who have physical problems, the medicine bags are sick, and the rest have kidney deficiency. Who are they?"
Everyone shut their mouths.
Yun Song went up and patted the medicine bag on the shoulder and warned: "You don't have to participate in the ghost-fighting operation, but you are absolutely not allowed to tell the news about ambushing the water ghosts!"
The medicine bag hurriedly assured: "That will definitely not happen."
Yun Song waved him away, and then he and Wang Lin arranged the personnel on duty together.
From now on, Ah Guang will always be protected.
In order not to disturb the water ghost, Aguang had to go home and hide in the bedroom. Then the others would hide inside and outside the house.
In addition, all water-related things inside and outside the house must be cleaned up to prevent water ghosts from escaping along the water.
Yun Song personally supervised them and made complete preparations after they arrived at A Guang's house.
Then just wait for the east wind!
Among them, Yunsong is hidden on the roof, which is well-positioned.
Chapter completed!
