Chapter 68 The Wild Water Ghost
"I'm just a metaphor, why didn't you kid understand it?" She curled her lips and said, "It would be great if there was a Dragon King. She wanted to see it too."
Looking at the group of people, Tang Ning said sadly, "But there may be water ghosts. Why don't you try swimming in the water at night and see if anyone grabs your feet?"
Isn’t it good to live well? Isn’t it good to play well?
Lin Hao and the other three shook their heads neatly. They felt that the world was wonderful and they should not do such dangerous things.
Xiao Ling listened at first, thinking that Sister Tang was telling supernatural stories to scare people, but now seeing Lin Hao's reaction, it seemed that it was a little different from what she thought.
Why are they...so serious?
"Sister Tang, are you talking about this as a joke or..."
"What do you think?"
Xiao Ling, who was sitting next to the barbecue, heard this rhetorical question and rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, and was a little curious: "Sister Tang, what do you... do?"
The last ray of sunlight disappeared on the horizon, and the wind couldn't help but become colder.
Tang Ning looked at the dark river water being rippled by the wind, like an open hell, as if it was trying to drag the people above it in: "I run a shop."
As soon as she put down the meat in her hand, Tang Ning suddenly stood up and took a few steps forward. She was right, something in the water... was moving.
Her actions startled Lin Hao and others, who then stood up and looked at the river not far away.
Saw nothing.
"Sister Tang, what's wrong?" Yang Tianhan had never seen her methods before, but this did not prevent him from learning from his brother.
After all, that child woke up everything in the water.
"It's nothing. Let's eat what you have." He walked into the tent and took out three peace charms from his backpack and gave them to them one by one: "Put it on. Haozi, I'll go to the village to book a B&B later. It's better not to sleep outside."
Zhou Houping and Yang Tianhan took it and immediately put it in their pockets obediently. They looked at Lin Hao who was eating by himself: "Sister Tang, don't you have Haozi's?"
"He has it with him." Tangning looked at more and more black figures in the water, and her heart became raised.
Xiao Ling originally wanted to ask again, but when she saw Zhou Houping gently shaking his head at her, she closed her mouth. Her keen sixth sense told her that there were some things that it was better not to inquire too clearly about.
Touching the small triangular talisman paper in his palm, he smiled at Sister Tang and put it away honestly.
"You're so good." Tangning took a bunch of beef and handed it to Xiyou: "Help keep an eye on it. Maybe you can get some rations tonight."
"Gugu!" Xiyou actually felt the situation in the water earlier than she did and understood what she was referring to.
At half past seven, the colorful lanterns on the riverside turned on, and the lights of various colors illuminated the area as if it were daytime.
The light falls on the water, colorful, like a rich and colorful picture.
The music sounded, people got up from the stove and walked slowly to the river.
The lights turn on and off, creating different patterns in the water.
Lin Hao and the others watched as more and more people went there, exclaiming from time to time. If they said they were not moved, they would be lying.
There seemed to be needles poking their butts on the chairs. They kept moving, and their necks were almost as long as giraffes.
Every time she raised her head a little, Tang Ning's cold eyes swept over her, and they immediately sat down obediently.
Forget it, forget it, just be obedient, the dog's life is at stake!
You can enjoy yourself by warming yourself up by the fire and playing games, and you don't have to watch the reflection of the lights.
Seeing that they were doing their job honestly, Tang Ning turned her head to the crowd on the riverside, keeping an eye on the situation there.
A stream of yin energy floated over with the wind, and they frowned, and they began to make moves.
After searching back and forth, she finally set her sights on the embankment.
The water ghost came out of the water and climbed up the embankment. He smelled the vitality of the living people and couldn't help but salivate.
It doesn't matter if he didn't eat the one during the day, he can find one from here to make up for it.
The light is emitted from behind the person, so people's shadows are cast forward rather than backward.
The water ghost shuttled back and forth in the shadow, and finally stopped.
He looked up at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in front of him, smiled maliciously, and wrapped his hand... little by little around her ankle.
The scenery in the girl's eyes changed.
In front of her, there was no longer the reflection of colorful lights, but a piece of green grass.
Her good friend was waiting in front, so she had to hurry over.
Push away the people around you and walk towards the railing little by little.
The people nearby were pushed like this, and they opened their mouths to curse, but after seeing clearly that it was a little girl, they gave it up.
Just like that, the girl finally walked to the front, leaned against the railing, and bent down, as if to see the light in the water clearly.
"Hiss~" Xi You made a sound, not loud, but it was like thunder falling from the sky when it fell on the water ghost's ears.
He turned his head stiffly and looked at the source of the sound, his eyes meeting Tangning's.
Faced with Tangning's raised eyebrows, the water ghost panicked for a moment, then raised his hand and wiped her neck with her.
Tangning and Xiyou looked at each other. Was she provoked by a water ghost?
Are ghosts so rampant these days?
As soon as Xi You made a move, the water ghost immediately let go of his hand and retracted into the water.
The girl had woken up at this time. Looking at the half of her body that was leaning out, she quickly retracted: "Why did I suddenly come to the front?"
The wind blowing from the water hit her face, making her feel extremely cold. She couldn't help shivering, so she should go back to warm herself by the fire.
After the water ghost retracted, Tangning kept staring at the embankment, checking back and forth. She didn't believe that the other party gave up so easily.
However, until the lights went out and the crowd dispersed, the water ghost never appeared again.
Tangning and the others came to the B&B to rest.
In the middle of winter, even though a fire was set up, it was still very cold to spend the night in the tent, not to mention they hadn't brought sleeping bags. If they lay like that all night, they would probably all catch a cold the next day.
They were half asleep when the house they lived in suddenly started making noises, crying and scolding, which woke them up.
Of course, people can't sleep in this situation.
Tangning got up and put on her clothes, so she went out to see what was going on.
When I came to the living room, I saw the proprietress sitting on the sofa with a child in her arms, crying loudly. The child was all wet, as if he had just come out of the water.
A group of villagers were comforting her next to her.
"Kangkang's mother, please stop crying. Didn't the child be saved?"
"Yes, you just need to pay more attention in the future. It's late at night, and no one will notice the child running to the river bank by himself."
"Fortunately, Uncle Liu, who was on night watch, passed by the river and heard some movement in the water, otherwise no one would have noticed your child even if he sank to the bottom of the water!"
According to what they said, it was the proprietress's child who secretly ran out to play by the river and accidentally fell into the water.
