Chapter 1381 They Came to See Me
The old fisherman's reminder had no effect at all. Everything nearby was shrouded in this strange light. The water in the lake rose up, pushing the entire lake upward. Something huge was emerging from the bottom of the lake.
The moonlight behind him became more and more dazzling. The old fisherman remembered the warning in the letter and stayed away from the moon...stay away from the moon in the sky! Because there would be no moon at all on such a night!
Accompanied by the old man's trembling gasps of excitement, the old fisherman heard the last words in his memory.
Shopkeeper Qian pursed his lips nervously, lowered his body, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "The moon... has cracked! It's coming..."
After listening to the story for so long, the key point was finally reached. Jiang Cheng couldn't wait to ask: "Who is it? Is it Master Shui mentioned before?"
This stopped shopkeeper Qian from asking, and he replied with a grimace: "Sir, how do I know who it is? It's better for me to say that there are some things that I don't know. For ordinary people like us, it's not a bad thing to be confused sometimes." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded, "Continue, what happened next?"
"Then what I told you about, the old fisherman returned home, and these things were also said by the old fisherman." Shopkeeper Qian seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and explained in advance: "Sir, you don't need to ask me about him. How I got home, because I don’t know. Even the old fisherman himself couldn’t tell clearly.
Shopkeeper Qian stretched out his finger, pointed at his head carefully, and lowered his voice: "Ever since he came back, the old fisherman has had a problem here. All his memories of the moonlight have disappeared, and he can't remember what happened after that. What, besides, he couldn’t remember whether those people were dead or alive, where they went, and what happened to the ship.”
"Where is this person now?" This old fisherman is obviously an important clue. If he can be found, Jiang Cheng is confident that he can get some more useful information.
But then shopkeeper Qian's expression turned strange, as if he had something unspeakable.
"Why, it's not convenient to tell me?" Jiang Cheng frowned, a cold look flashing between his brows.
Shopkeeper Qian immediately explained after seeing this scene, "No, no, it's just... Hey, something happened here, and I still can't figure out what it is."
"Don't be nervous. Speak slowly, but you have to tell the truth." Jiang Cheng reminded.
Shopkeeper Qian nodded and continued: "That's right. When the old fisherman came home, his family were very excited. They didn't believe all the old fisherman's stories. After all, the old fisherman was in a strange state at the time, like He seemed to have lost his soul, and he...he was afraid of light, even a small oil lamp would make him extremely nervous.
"He asked his family to extinguish all the oil lamps for lighting. He didn't say the reason. He just lowered his head and huddled in the back of the bed, muttering something in a low voice. Finally, a junior from his family sneaked up. , listened attentively for a while, and when he came back, he told the others with a strange face that the old fisherman said that those things would not be able to find me now. "
"Just because of the old fisherman's words, everyone was very nervous. The old fisherman's wife was worried that something might happen, so she asked three young people from the family to stay with her and the old fisherman."
"Their house has two rooms inside and one outside. The old fisherman and his wife live in the inner room, and the three younger members of the family live in the outer room. In the middle of the night, when people are most sleepy and tired, the old fisherman suddenly wraps himself in a quilt. , the whole person was shaking with fear, and his wife asked him what was wrong, and he stared at her and asked her if she heard anything. "
"My wife was frightened by the old fisherman's expression. His eyes were all bloodshot and so red that he could bleed. But she held her breath and listened for a long time. Apart from the wind outside, she heard no other sound. "
"After she said this to the old fisherman, the old fisherman suddenly became violent and strangled her throat like crazy. He squeezed hard while squeezing out the sound from his throat: How is it possible? How could you not hear it? ? It’s the sound of water, the sound of boats breaking through the lake!”
The old fisherman's eyes widened and his expression turned crazy, "Old Man Wu...it's Old Man Wu and the others. They won't let me go. They came to find me in a famous boat!"
"They're coming... right outside the door!"
"I heard!"
"The sound of struggle in the room alerted the three young men outside. The young men rushed in with oil lamps. The old fisherman's strength was frightening. With the combined efforts of three people, they managed to control the crazy old fisherman and saved the woman. Life."
"Worried that the old fisherman would do something drastic again, the three young men had a brief discussion and concluded that this person was probably possessed by an evil spirit, so they decided to tie up the old fisherman first and find a sensible person to take a look at him the next day. Worrying that the old fisherman The fisherman bit his own tongue in his madness. One of the young men found a piece of cloth and planned to plug the old fisherman's mouth. If anything happens, we'll talk about it at dawn. "
"But the old fisherman who was already wilting struggled violently. He even stood up straight from the bed and said condescendingly to everyone: Put out the lights and don't open the door! They are outside!"
"In the middle of the night, the old fisherman was in a state of panic. One of the juniors had the courage to tiptoe behind the door. He looked out through the crack in the door. There was nothing outside the door. The bright moonlight was shining on the ground. Everything was there. It was clean. I listened for a while and there was only the sound of wind outside the door. "
"At this time, the remaining two younger generations also tied up the old fisherman tightly and blocked his mouth. Perhaps they also felt that this matter was full of evil, so no one dared to stay with him. Everyone closed the door of the inner room and gathered in a room outside. The four people, out of fear, found all the oil lamps and lit them, illuminating the room brightly."
"Unconsciously, everyone fell asleep together. It was not until the next morning that they were awakened by the knocking on the door outside."
"The knocking on the door was very loud, almost like a slam on the door, and there were waves of anxious shouting. The woman was confused, but she could also hear that it was the neighbor Ju Fangsao's voice. "
"As the door was opened, the scene in front of them completely stunned them. There was a small yard outside their house, surrounded by a low wall and a gate, but at this time, the gate was completely knocked open and fell to the ground, and a large part of the wall next to it collapsed, as if it was knocked open by something big. "
"The ground in front of the yard was wet, and there was a large pool of water in the depression, giving people the feeling that there was a flood not long ago, and this was the scene after the flood receded. "
"The woman was stunned for a long time, and suddenly her body trembled violently, and then she rushed into the room. "
