Chapter 9 Shuiyue Lao

As soon as I entered the house, my grandfather said with a smile: "Dawei, look it's already noon. You go and cook. You can't let other people's little girls go hungry."

Qi Xueying stood up and followed me to the kitchen. I thought she would be more virtuous and help with cooking and washing vegetables. But she came in and took a cucumber and ate it by herself. Look at her

She looked so rude, I guess I shouldn't take her home.

"Hey, let me tell you, you are not going to help me right now."

"I'm a girl, okay? And I'm a guest. How can you bear to let the guests work?"

Seeing how she spoke so confidently, she really didn't feel guilty at all.

I ignored her and continued to cook. In fact, there were always only a few dishes, sweet and sour fish, pickled fish, and three delicacies fish soup. I was tired of eating them.

Qi Xueying stood next to me, her mouth watering into the food.

"Hey, hey, hey, wipe your cock quickly, don't ruin my fish."

When she heard this, she snorted and left with the dishes. I shook my head, not knowing what to say to her.

Because it was inconvenient for my grandfather to eat, he didn't use a table to eat at home, so he just made do with a simple wooden board on the ground.

"By the way, grandpa, how did your leg get injured?" Qi Xueying suddenly asked, which surprised my grandpa and I.

My grandfather smiled and said: "My legs, then..."

"Come on, eat more fish and talk less. When will you shut up your mouth?" I quickly interrupted my grandfather. If he spoke out, it would be a disaster.

"You brat, I've raised you for so many years, but why haven't you ever brought me food? This guy just came here, and you're so polite."

"Grandpa, people say that girls talk too much and no one wants them. I am thinking about her future." I quickly gave my grandpa a fish tail, which made him stop talking.

This Qi Xueying is a reporter, and she can be considered a media figure after all. There are some things that she can know, but there are some things that cannot be told to her.

Seeing Qi Xueying like that, I just ate my meal by myself.

"By the way, grandpa, are you familiar with the profession of corpse fishermen from the Yellow River? I heard that there used to be many corpse fishermen in this village."

When my grandfather heard this, he got excited. Just when I wanted to interrupt, he took the chopsticks to scare me.

"You kid, try to interrupt me again. My old man also worked as a corpse collector from the Yellow River for several years. I don't know why you ask this, little girl."

Qi Xueying continued to ask: "I heard him say that you have encountered many things before, why don't you tell me about them."

Damn, why did this bother me? My grandfather glanced at me and said with a smile: "Since my grandson-in-law wants to listen, then I'll just say whatever I want."

"No, grandpa, that's..."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Girls in the city are just different. When I heard this, I blushed and could only admit my defeat.

My grandfather continued: "Have you ever heard of Shui Yue Lao? Then let me tell you about Shui Yue Lao."

In fact, Shui Yuelao means water ghost, but it is somewhat different from water ghosts. Ordinary water ghosts look for substitutes in the rivers and lakes and then reincarnate, but Shui Yuelao builds bridges for living people.

Matchmaker.

When my grandfather was young, he participated in the regulation of the Yellow River, but he could not remember the specific year. He only knew that the ships were anchored at the mouth of the Yellow River that year, and the river was full of silt.

The government paid hundreds of people to dig out sand. Unexpectedly, coffins were frequently unearthed during the sand digging process. These coffins were basically intact and very heavy.

News that there were treasures in the Yellow River were very popular at that time, and some people even used dredging boats as a cover to search for treasures.

The coffins were dug out one by one, and the villagers worked hard to get them ashore. My grandfather and four or five young people were responsible for watching these coffins at night, but that's where things started.

Although the mud has been dug out, some large holes have been left due to excavation of coffins, but the government does not care about these things at all.

My grandfather and others were wondering what was in the coffin, but they did not dare to open it because of fear. A bold man who did not believe in evil picked up a hoe and smashed the lid of the coffin open.

They looked around and saw that there was nothing in the coffin. It was empty. This confused them. Logically speaking, there should be something in the coffin. Not to mention bones, there must at least be sand.

But there was indeed nothing. They opened other coffins one after another, with the same result.

At this moment, water suddenly began to emerge from the mouth of the bay, and a coffin slowly emerged from the water. My grandfather looked at it and said, "It's dry down here. Where did this water come from?"

The fat man on the side was named Liu Si. He looked at it and said, "No matter where it comes from, let's get the coffin up first. Maybe all the treasures are hidden in that coffin."

When the group heard this, they naturally started to take action. They would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go. What if they were really in the coffin?

When Liu Si took off his clothes and swam over with the rope, the coffin suddenly sank. When Liu Si saw it, he started to curse and said: "Damn, why did this sink? It must be because the treasure in the coffin is too heavy."

Well, I’ll be considered rich this time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the water in the mouth of the bay began to drop rapidly. My grandfather and the others did not delay and quickly pulled him back.

But the four young men couldn't pull him away. Liu Si struggled in the water for a while, and suddenly something pulled him down.

This scared my grandfather and the four of them quite a lot. They always heard people say that the Yellow River was not peaceful, but I had never experienced it myself, so how could I believe it?

When the water was gone, they turned on the flashlight and took a look. Only half of the coffin was exposed underneath, but Liu Si was missing.

The four of them did not dare to go down easily. The mud was not a good thing, and they would not be able to get up once they got down. Early the next morning, villagers from the village who were cleaning up the mud also came one after another.

When they heard what they said, they all panicked like ants on a hot pot. There were voices of accusation, fear, and everything else.

But my grandfather said that what he remembers most clearly is what Kang Bo said.

"Oh, it seems that this person was caught by Shui Yue Lao for matching (finding a partner). Hurry up and find a way to fish out the coffin. Maybe Liu Si is still alive. This is a self-inflicted crime. All I can say is

He deserves it."

It wasn't until that moment that my grandfather began to feel scared. He had heard of Shui Yue Lao building bridges for living people, but there was a popular saying among the people.
