The old yellow dog smelled the fragrance of jujube cake, rubbed its butt against Li Yu's legs and feet, and wagged its tail vigorously to please.
"Brother An, tsk tsk, this is a sweet name..."
Li Yu knelt down and hugged the old yellow dog over, slapped the dog's head hard several times, raised his head and smiled at Yang Feng who was sitting on the wooden chair: "Old man, it seems that I came at the wrong time just now."
I know the girl Li Yu just now. She is Chun Xing, the daughter of Widow Qian's family not far away. She and Yang An are both from the same village, so they can be called childhood sweethearts. Widow Qian has a fierce personality and is famous in eight villages in ten miles.
A shrew who gave birth to a daughter who was handsome and gentle.
Mr. Yang shook his head: "You kid..."
Yang An also heard the ridicule in Li Yu's words. He scratched his scalp in embarrassment, not knowing what to say, so he could only show a simple and honest smile.
"Come here, baby, what else do you bring with you! Do you really think of the old man as an outsider?"
Seeing the jujube flower cake in Li Yu's hand, Mr. Yang knocked his cane dissatisfied and said: "The things will be taken away later. If you come to my place early in the morning, there must be something wrong. Tell me, what's the matter with you?"
"
"Ginger is still hotter than old. Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you."
Li Yu gave a thumbs up, stood up and said, "Actually, I want to ask you something."
He told everything in one breath:
"Yesterday, Ergou from your village drowned in the pond. You must have heard about it, right? Ergou's body is at my place now. But I found a strange black handprint on his leg, like
It was left by a woman."
"If that's all it is, forget it."
As he said that, Li Yu looked strange: "But I went to town once before, and when I came back at night, I met a female ghost in white by the pond. Fortunately, I was far away at the time, so I was safe... Yesterday
I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night. I always felt that this thing was really evil. You are old and you should know something, so I came to ask you to find out..."
Li Yu already had an idea on how to fulfill Ergou's last wish, but before that, he still had to find out the details of the female ghost.
Since this female ghost dared to blatantly harm people by the pond, why didn’t anyone ask monks and Taoists to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts?
Could it be that this female ghost has amazing abilities? Or is it due to other reasons?
"What, you have actually seen that woman."
After hearing this, Yang Feng was shocked at first.
He quickly calmed down and said: "The older people in the village actually know a little bit about this woman's situation. This person's surname is Sun, and she is called Sun's family."
Then Yang Feng said:
"This matter started more than thirty years ago. At that time, there was a child born in our Qingshui Town. This child was somewhat talented, but his character was not very good. His parents had already made an engagement with someone in private, but he
He also flirted with Sun, who was a first-time wife."
"Then the two hooked up together. Soon it was revealed that the boy was concerned about his reputation and moved away overnight. Instead, Mrs. Sun was caught and immersed in a pig cage in the pond."
"Ms. Sun resented the boy who abandoned her and ran away. He was full of resentment before his death. After he was drowned, his resentful spirit lingered on, killing several people. Later, a passing wild man took action and defeated him and fled. He had not been there for a long time.
Appeared, who would have thought that this Sun family would actually appear again now."
Li Yu listened patiently and thoughtfully.
Yang Feng warned carefully: "Little Li, this ghost transformed by Sun has a vicious personality and has already killed several people. Don't provoke her."
She has been hiding in the pond and died unjustly. It seems that this female ghost is probably just a lonely ghost with no backer. She does not dare to show up during the day, which means that her moral character is not high... I thought to myself,
Li Yu nodded and responded:
"Don't worry, old man, I can spare this."
Knowing Sun's details, he knew what to do next, but this did not prevent him from accepting the old man's kind reminder.
After chatting with the old man for a while, he put down the jujube cake and turned back to Yizhuang regardless of his grandfather and grandson's attempts to stay.
Li Yu walked around behind Yizhuang and found a small hibernating snake.
Release the snake blood, mix it with the cooked rice, knead it into several small dark red balls, mix it into fish bait, and give off a faint fishy smell.
Taking advantage of the clear weather and bright sunshine at noon, Li Yu came to the previous pond with the simple fishing rod and bait he made.
Even though the sun was shining brightly, Li Yu still felt a chill coming as soon as he approached the pond, as if it was going to penetrate into the seams of his bones. The ice on the water surface was thick and solid, showing no signs of melting.
And there were no birds or animals around, so it was very quiet.
Thinking of the white shadow in Ergou's memory, Li Yu felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. He always felt that there was a pair of sinister and cold eyes staring at him under the pond.
However, Li Yu didn't intend to get close, and he had not forgotten Ergou's living example.
The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, and he is not stepping on the ice. He is just fishing on the shore, so there should be no problem.
Li Yu simply found a few rocks, smashed a hole in the ice, then stood on the shore, hung the bait on the hook, and threw the hook into the water.
Then he sat on the shore and began to wait quietly.
Fishing is a technical job.
It requires skill, patience, and even more timing.
Li Yu was not a professional fisherman in his previous life, but he had a friend named He Mingqiang who loved fishing very much. He would go fishing every day, rain or shine, and he was never in the air force. If he couldn't catch big fish, he would catch small fish.
If you can't touch the shrimps, pick wild vegetables. If you can't pick the wild vegetables, just drink some water before leaving.
For this reason, his wife wouldn't let him enter the house.
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Li Yu also knew some related techniques.
When fishing in winter, you only need to break the ice. Due to the lack of oxygen, the fish will come up to breathe. Moreover, blood bait is also very attractive to fish.
Sure enough, not long after, Li Yu felt the fishing rod in his hand shaking slightly.
When he pulled the rod, he caught a palm-sized carp. It was still jumping around when he pulled it up.
Li Yu was so happy that he picked the fish and quickly returned to Yizhuang.
Lifting the white cloth, he placed the fish next to Ergou, and the reward reached the line:
【Two Dogs’ Last Wish】
Status: Completed.
Reward: The Secret of Ergou.
Soon, Li Yu's head swelled, and an extra memory appeared out of thin air, flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern:
The summer is hot, the sun is blazing, the cicadas are chirping endlessly on the trees, noisy and noisy, and the hot and somewhat dull weather makes people drowsy.
Ergou was hiding under the shade of a tree to enjoy the coolness and peeing and mud into the ant hole. At this time, he saw a big man passing by in a field not far away.
The big man had a muscular back, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His muscles were bulging and strong, and there was a ferocious scar like a centipede on his face. He was holding a long knife and looked full of evil aura. Ergou was so frightened that his little face turned pale and he hurriedly hid.
Behind the tree, I didn't dare to make a sound.
On the left wrist of the big man, there is also a dark red ribbon, as if dyed red by blood.
However, this big man seemed to have been seriously injured. He was panting, his face was pale, his lips were purple, and his steps were staggering and weak.
The clothes on his chest, waist and abdomen were soaked with blood, and there were several black wounds with rolled flesh.
Ergou watched the big man go away. He didn't run back home in a hurry until the big man's figure disappeared in the direction of the mountain behind the village.
