Chapter 15. The Village Chief's Helpline

At the end of April 2010, because my phone was ruthlessly destroyed by someone, I was asked to get a new number and put the phone card into an orange Nokia slider music phone I used earlier. Although I am not a digital person.

Expert, but with all kinds of new mobile phones on the street, I still feel unbalanced. The reason for the imbalance is that my mobile phone was deliberately damaged by Hu Zongren.

By mid-May, I couldn't help it anymore, so I took Sister Cai and me to the digital city closest to my home and bought a new mobile phone that had just been launched a few days ago. It was my first

This is not a Nokia mobile phone. It is the first domestic L-prefixed mobile phone and the first smartphone equipped with a robot system. The girl selling the mobile phone proudly told me that this mobile phone is 3G! So I followed her lead again

I bought a 3G phone card. After the store clerk installed a lot of software and games that were very popular at the time for me, I started sending them to my family and friends who I usually have a lot of contact with since I got home.

The text message said that I had changed my number. In addition to my master, Situ, Granny Huang, Mrs. Ji, Xiaojuan and others, there were naturally Hu Zongren and Fu Yunni.

And it turns out that showing off my new mobile phone in front of Hu Zongren was a very stupid decision, and for this, my ears paid a very heavy price.

What happened was that on the third day after I bought the mobile phone, Fu Yunni was in a rare good mood and said that she wanted to cook for herself and invited Sister Cai and me to have dinner at their home. She and Hu Zongren were still living in Fu Qiang's house in Nan'an District at the time.

In the old house, I learned about Fu Yunni's cooking skills when we stayed at Situ's house earlier. She is a person who can forget to use a knife when chopping ribs, but just crush them with her feet. From here on

To put it bluntly, she and Hu Zongren are a perfect match. So before going to their house that day, Sister Cai and I took the lead in eating some cakes or something to fill our stomachs, because we might not know what we would eat in the next meal.

weird stuff.

After arriving at their house, Sister Cai went to help in the kitchen out of sympathy for the weak, while Hu Zongren and I were watching TV in the living room. Earlier, because Hu Zongren broke my mobile phone, I was very unhappy with him. Because from that day

After what happened at work that night, I received that strange text message. Hu Zongren said that we had attracted attention again. When I asked him what he meant, he hesitated and refused to say anything. What happened next?

He didn’t contact me again for half a month. This made me wonder if he had something going on that he didn’t let me know on purpose. But there is a rule in our industry, try not to step on the line. Hu Zongren and I

We belong to different sects. Although we have some commonalities in what we have learned, we generally don’t ask each other about other people’s own affairs unless they are willing to speak out. So even though I had doubts in my heart, I did not take the initiative to ask him that question.

What exactly is the poem saying?

When Hu Zongren learned that I had a very modern mobile phone, he asked me to play with it. While handing it to him, I warned him not to break it or our friendship would come to an end. In the next

For a long time, he couldn't put it down for a game called "Angry Birds" installed on my phone. And this was the beginning of my nightmare. He would keep talking in my ears for a long time after that day.

It imitates the sounds of various birds in the game when they are ejected, especially the bird that can fly out and throw bombs, and the sound is "Hey~~~~~".

While he was enjoying it, my phone rang. Obviously the bright ringtone made Hu Zongren jump. He handed the phone to me with envious eyes. I picked up the phone and the other party was a middle-aged man with a thick accent.

Man. Based on many years of traveling experience, I can easily tell that this man’s accent is from Wansheng or Qijiang in the south of Chongqing.

The man on the phone told me that he only found my phone number after asking for a long time. There was something wrong in their village. It had been almost a year. He had also tried to find the local gods and goddesses to fix it, but it was of no use. Every once in a while, something happened.

People die every month, sometimes two people die in a month. Everyone in the village is very scared now, so no matter what, please help us.

District and county plus village? This is destined to mean that if I accept this order, the commission will not be very large. Since I have found it, it is fate, and I can't refuse just because I say no, especially because I can't refuse because of the money. So.

I asked the other party what the relationship was for the death. I understood that since the other party had found someone like me, it meant that there must be some traces to follow. Otherwise, we would always be their last resort after they considered the direction in vain.

straw.

The other party told me that there is a large pond in their village. Although it is a pond, it is living water. Because there is an opening that flows out and becomes a stream, but the source cannot be found. It must be due to the seepage of groundwater.

.Although this pond is not the only water source in the village, accidents have happened for more than a year and people have drowned. This kind of thing never happened a few years ago, but it has happened repeatedly in the past year or so, so

There are rumors in the village that there are dirty things under the water. Some people say that the Dragon King has recruited his son-in-law and daughter-in-law. There are all kinds of nonsense. Some villagers even said that they saw a dark figure in the pond at night.

The things sank on the water and disappeared in an instant. In the past two months, two children have drowned one after another. Our village is far away from the county seat. It is also a tradition for the villagers to believe in evil, so we called in the neighbors.

A goddess in the village bustled and killed a sheep to worship. All the elderly people in our village knelt on the bank and kowtowed for safety. However, not long after this ritual was done,

A few weeks ago, another person drowned. She was the daughter-in-law of a family member in the village. The man was working in other places and the child was still very young. We in the village couldn’t bear to see such a thing happen. Many people came to our office to ask for help.

We are trying to find a way to solve this matter, but we are also afraid that it will cause a big problem. You know that if this kind of thing gets big, there will usually be no good end, so we have no choice but to ask you in every possible way. Please help us.

I heard the other party mention office, so I asked him, are you an official in the village? He said yes, he is the village chief.

According to the other party's description, I am used to quickly sketching out the situation at the scene in my mind and eliminating all kinds of incredible possibilities. When he said this, I felt that this thing was very similar to a water ghost.

When I thought of this, I blinked at Hu Zongren, meaning that I have something to do and I will tell you more about it later. I actually only experienced the water ghost once at that time. I don't know if it is a problem with my personal memory.

Or something, after catching that water ghost, until I completely solved it, I was deeply impressed, but when I think about it later, I always feel that it is unreal. The so-called unreal is not that I doubt whether all this is true.

It actually happened, but I feel a little bit in a trance. It feels like you have gone to a dreamy place for a trip and come back, and it feels unreal.

Moreover, I have very little experience with water ghosts. I did it with great courage last time, so it was inevitably a matter of luck. Judging from the description of the other party and the witnesses of relevant people, the possibility of water ghosts is very high. I asked

I gave him the specific name and address of the other party's village, and told him that whether I accepted the order or not, I would definitely call him back before dinner that day. Even if I don't do this, I will try to recommend a master to you.

come over.

Is it enough to be benevolent and righteous? That’s how I was at that time. I hadn’t regressed yet, so I could still introduce business to each other. In any case, it was all within the circle. Although this kind of life has begun to make me tired and unable to do my best, but over the years

I still can’t change my habit. In my wife’s words, it’s called dogs can’t change eating shit. Although her description of it was extremely disrespectful to dogs and it made me very unhappy, but it is indeed the case.

After hanging up the phone, I told Hu Zongren the description of the other party. Hu Zongren is a Taoist. Taoists are inherently better at the Five Elements than I am. I think Hu Zongren is definitely not a problem in dealing with water ghosts. Hu Zongren followed me

He hung up the phone and said he grabbed my phone and continued playing games while listening to me. I told him by the way that I once heard Xiaojuan tell me something about water ghosts.

Although Hu Zongren often heard me mention Xiaojuan, he had never seen her at that time. I told her that Xiaojuan’s hometown was also in another place, and there was also a small river in the local area. The water rose.

It becomes very wide when the water is dry, and many people like to swim in the water to cool off. When Xiaojuan was a child, she passed by the river many times and saw some dark-looking people on the water.

Those swimming children looked like they were swimming people from a distance. It wasn’t until Xiaojuan grew up that she began to understand that she was born with yin and yang eyes, and then she realized that the things she saw when she was a child seemed to be in the river ditch.

People who swim in it are actually water ghosts.

At this point, I told Hu Zongren that I had refuted Xiaojuan at the time, saying that water ghosts do not necessarily have to be seen with yin and yang eyes, because water ghosts have an entity, and that entity is actually a body and container, which is often the first

The person who drowned in the water, but after the body decomposed to a certain extent, it began to be covered by some fungi mixed with the ghost's own supernatural body. It became black and had no bones, so it was not only visible with yin and yang eyes.

.

When I said this, Hu Zongren suddenly said, that is not necessarily the case. Some water monkeys are physically submerged at the bottom of the water. When they want to pull people, they will first come out in a pure ghost state to look for the target, and then they will find it correctly.

Start, and it usually won’t come to the water, because if it is discovered by someone, it will stay there for a short time. Hu Zongren stopped the game in his hand, and I was very pleased that he could find where the pause button was. He said to me

, you didn’t even ask the other person what the body looked like after being salvaged after drowning. If the mouth is clean and there are probably some water plants at most, and the belly is bulging after drinking enough water, this is the unlucky person who drowned. If the mouth and nostrils are full of water, it is unlucky to drown.

If there is mud and some inexplicable bruises on the body, it means the water monkey is doing something wrong.

The water monkey in Hu Zongren's mouth is what I call the water ghost. This thing has many names in our metaphysics and in various places. Some are given mythical colors, but in the final analysis, it is a very inferior ghost. The only

The best way is to catch it, sprinkle it with salt, and burn it to get it clean.

I saw Hu Zongren continuing to play games and felt unhappy, so I snatched my phone back and asked him, "Well, please tell me, let's go together, no matter how much it costs, half for each person, will you go?"

He picked his nose and said, of course.
