Winter is about to enter, and the cold wind is blowing hard.
Master Mu Yunhan and his servant were chilled to the bone by the river wind, but the water ghost Lao Wu never appeared.
Mu Yunhan thought for a while and motioned for Xiaomi to leave with her.
After walking a few steps, I heard the sound of water. I looked back and saw an old tent boat approaching from a distance.
There was a thin man standing on the bow of the boat, with bare arms and half a leg, his nostrils pointed toward the sky and his mouth like a fish, and his eyes were bulging like fish eyes, which was very distinctive and fish-like.
This is what Du Laoqi described as the water ghost Lao Wu.
Mu Yunhan and Xiaomi turned around and stood on the dock waiting quietly.
The boat gradually got closer, and Water Ghost Lao Wu stood on the bow of the boat, looking at them coldly: "Who wants to find someone?"
"Me." Mu Yunhan stood up with a sad expression: "My brother died in the river during the battle half a year ago. No bones were found. I want to take him back and bury him in my hometown."
Water Ghost Lao Wu said calmly: "Is the birth date the one on the wooden sign?"
Mu Yunhan nodded: "Exactly."
Water Ghost Lao Wu sneered: "That's a living person, are you entertaining me?"
The birthday and birth date were written casually by Mu Yunhan. She didn't know whether it was a living person or a dead person, so she was a little panicked.
But thinking about it, it wouldn't be a big deal even if he was discovered, so he pretended to be surprised: "Is it a real person? Xiaohong, maybe my brother is still alive!"
Xiaomi, whose name had been changed, was also full of surprise and nodded fiercely.
"I don't look for living people, and I don't do business with living people." Water Ghost Lao Wu picked up the boat pole and left with a light tap.
"I'll give you a thousand taels of silver and send me across the river!"
Mu Yunhan was very worried. This water ghost Lao Wu was very good at water. If he dived into the water, he would never find it again.
As expected, Water Ghost Lao Wu stopped and looked at her and Xiaomi: "Just you two?"
Mu Yunhan said: "Yes, just the two of us."
"Who taught you this method?" Water Ghost Lao Wu asked alertly.
Mu Yunhan said: "Du Laoqi."
"Du Laoqi?" Water Ghost Lao Wu was stunned and asked with a strange expression: "Where is he?"
Mu Yunhan pointed behind him: "Isn't that right?"
While the water ghost Lao Wu raised his eyes and looked back, she and Xiaomi raised their arms at the same time and pressed down the arm crossbow.
Two short arrows with steel cables shot into the left and right shoulders of Water Ghost Lao Wu respectively. He shouted, twisted the boat pole, and the long knife suddenly appeared and slashed towards the steel cables.
However, the steel rope was specially made by Huanhualou. It is said that the steel is made into a flexible, soft and tough material that cannot be easily cut off.
Once Mu Yunhan and Xiaomi succeeded, they immediately put the steel rope on their shoulders and ran back quickly, trying to drag the water ghost Lao Wu to the shore.
Mu Li and others ran out from their hiding place, swarmed up with weapons, and rounded up Lao Wu, the water ghost.
This is a perfect plan. No matter how good the water ghost Lao Wu is, he can only catch it with his hands.
However, what they got was a dying man. Lao Wu, the water ghost, had poison hidden in his teeth. Seeing that he could not escape, he took the poison and committed suicide.
Mu Li was so angry that he slapped himself twice. Mu Yunhan had expected such a situation before, so his main task was to remove the mandible of the water ghost Lao Wu before he took the poison.
But he was still half a step slower, because the water ghost Lao Qi had actually bitten the poison pill at the same time he was shot.
The clues were cut off just like countless times before, and everyone was very frustrated.
Xiaomi shouted: "Hurry up and ask General Meng's people to help find the remaining water ghosts. Maybe there is hope..."
