Chapter 6 The Soul of Eating Watermelons
Lin Qingzhi walked towards the noisy place with great curiosity.
As a person with Chinese blood on Earth, it is in his bones to join in the fun. Hearing that there is something exciting to watch, his curiosity was immediately aroused, and his melon-eating soul awakened.
Turning a corner and walking a few hundred meters forward, Lin Qingzhi saw a group of villagers from Linjiang Village gathered on the bank of the Luo River not far away.
Lin Qingzhi knew all these people.
In the crowd, Lin Qingzhi also saw his uncle Lin Yuan, who was frowning and looked very ugly.
Lin Qingzhi walked to a tall and strong man, patted the strong man on the back, and then he asked: "Brother Dazhu, what happened here."
Lin Dazhu, one of the hunters in the village, is a sixth-level body forging warrior and one of the three strongest warriors in the village.
The strongest among them is his uncle Lin Yuan.
The uncle is a warrior in the acquired realm, a warrior who has been outside.
After returning more than ten years ago, he took over the position of village chief of Linjiang Village and has always been respected in the village.
"Qingzhi, you are here too. It's Lao Yu Wang. Just now, his family member went to the village chief and said that Lao Yu Wang has not returned since he left the boat the day before yesterday. Sister Wang was very worried and asked everyone to help find him. Just now, Lao Yu Wang's fishing boat somehow returned to the riverside dock, but Lao Yu Wang was not seen on the boat."
After saying that, Dazhu raised his head and looked around. Seeing that no one noticed him, he whispered in Lin Qingzhi's ear: "I heard that Lao Yu Wang was dragged away by the water ghosts of Luohelian. There was mucus unique to water ghosts on the fishing boat..."
Lin Qingzhi heard this and turned to look at a dilapidated fishing boat by the river.
With his eyesight, he could see the dark green mucus on the edge of the fishing boat at a glance.
It really is the mucus carried by water ghosts.
Water ghosts, also known as water monkeys, are a kind of monsters living in water. They look like apes, have green skin, and like to suck human blood. As long as they are dragged by water monkeys in the water, even warriors at the peak of the acquired realm may find it difficult to escape.
"Village chief, you must save my man. If my man is gone, how can we live as orphans and widows!"
At this time, a disheveled woman was kneeling at the feet of the uncle, grabbing his trouser legs and wailing.
This is the wife of the fisherman, the sister Wang mentioned by Brother Dazhu.
Both of them have the surname Wang, but no one knows their names. Since the fisherman fled to Linhe Village, everyone has called him sister Wang.
Next to sister Wang was a child of eight or nine years old. The child had two snots under his nose, wore tattered clothes, and looked ahead with lifeless eyes, as if he didn't understand what was going on at all.
Looking at the child, Lin Qingzhi couldn't help but sigh. The fisherman's son was born blind.
Logically speaking, the fishing king worked day and night to catch fish for money, so he was not very poor, but his son wore ragged clothes every day and didn't even have a pair of shoes all year round.
And Sister Wang was dressed better than her son, at least her clothes were not torn.
It can be seen that Sister Wang didn't like her son very much.
"Hey! Xiao Wang, you get up first. In fact, you know in your heart that your man should not be able to survive, so you should report to the night watchman! The water ghost will not come ashore, and I can't deal with it in the water."
Lin Yuan looked at the fishing boat docked on the shore and said after a sigh.
"Village chief, you have been out there, you should have a way, right! Please help our man! Even if he is dead, we have to see the body!" Sister Wang refused to get up, just pulled Lin Yuan's trouser legs and kept begging.
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Then he said in a serious manner: "Xiao Wang, it's not that I won't help you. Now that a water ghost has appeared in Luojiang, this is no longer a matter for our Linjiang Village. The fishermen in the neighboring Chenjia Village and Kaoshan Village will be in danger. Moreover, you asked me to find someone to help you find the body of your man. Aren't you trying to harm people? Knowing that there is a water ghost, who would dare to go into the water to help you find the body..."
"Oh my God! Why is my life so miserable! The child was born blind, and now the man is gone. How do you want me to live in the future~!"
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, she immediately sat down on the ground and wailed non-stop.
And her son stood there stupidly, without any movement, as if he couldn't hear his own mother's cry.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
Just as everyone was watching the excitement, the sound of cracking melon seeds came from the side.
Suddenly, the sound attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man in a black suit with a long sword on his waist squatting on a boulder not far away.
The young man was eating melon seeds from time to time, looking at the wailing sister Wang with interest.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the man put the melon seeds back into his pocket, then stood up and stretched.
As the man stood up, everyone clearly saw that on the man's chest, under the illumination of the optical fiber, a brown word "night" was clearly visible.
"Bronze Medal Night Watchman..."
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, the crowd suddenly quieted down, and even the wailing sister Wang stopped crying and just stared at the man blankly.
Seeing the word "Night" on the man's chest, Lin Yuan's face changed immediately, and then he walked quickly to the night watchman, bowed respectfully and called: "Lin Yuan, the village chief of Linjiang Village, greets the night watchman..."
Seeing the actions of village chief Lin Yuan, everyone was slightly surprised.
This is a night watchman, a warrior who specializes in killing demons.
They may never touch a master in their lifetime.
Not to mention that he is a bronze medal night watchman. You must know that only warriors in the innate realm can be a bronze medal night watchman. He looks about 20 years old, but he has the cultivation of the innate realm. He is worthy of being a night watchman.
"Tsk tsk... I was just in high spirits, but you, the crying elder sister, why did you stop! It's really a bummer..."
The night watchman shook his head and said with some regret.
Hearing the words of the young man, Lin Qingzhi frowned slightly, then turned to look at Sister Wang, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the frown was slowly lowered.
As expected of a night watchman, he saw through Sister Wang's pretense at a glance.
Lin Qingzhi suddenly wanted to go to the night watchman to get some melon seeds to eat...
As a melon lover, he shouldn't refuse!
Of course, Lin Qingzhi was just thinking about it and would not go up to ask for melon seeds.
After all, he is not a social bull.
He is still a little socially anxious.
