I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

"Catfish is boiled in the pot." Zhu Xiucai replied in a low voice.

"What happened to the catfish?" Qin Shaoyou asked puzzled.

He didn't know much about fish, he only knew that catfish were edible, and he didn't understand why Zhu Xiucai had such a reaction.

Zhu Xiucai explained: "Catfish are fierce by nature and like to eat meat. In addition to preying on fish and shrimp, they also eat carrion in the water."

carrion?

Qin Shaoyou's face changed slightly, but he understood what Zhu Xiucai meant.

There was a flood in this river before, not only did the bridge collapse, but also destroyed the villages along the bank, so someone must have been drowned!

For those who were drowned, if they were lucky, their bodies would be salvaged. If they were unlucky, their bodies would be entangled in water plants and other objects, so they could only be buried at the bottom of the river.

The catfish in the river wanted to eat carrion meat. No one could tell what kind of meat they ate during this period of time.

Therefore, it is better not to eat these catfish.

Liao Lishi, who was standing next to his old friend's coffin, couldn't help frowning after hearing Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai's whispers, and said in a low voice:

"Ordinarily, these people who live in the water should be particularly taboo about such things. How could they cook catfish at this time? It can't be that there is only catfish in this river, right?"

"It's really weird."

Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly, and moved his steps quietly, getting closer to the fisherman who was punting the boat.

But they didn't get too close, keeping a good distance.

This distance will not arouse the vigilance of the fisherman, and at the same time, when the fisherman really behaves strangely, he can be subdued immediately.

Zhu Xiucai also moved his steps calmly, forming a cooperative trend with Qin Shaoyou.

At the same time, he remembered an old incident, and said in a low voice: "When I was working in the township and county, I once handled a case where ghosts paid for their lives. Some ghosts deliberately threw copper coins near the official road to lure passers-by to pick them up.

Anyone who picks up this money, when they spend it, they will find that the money is still copper and silver when they pick it up, but it will become paper money when they spend it, and it also says to borrow your life for several years something like that...

You said, is the catfish boiled on this boat, like paper money, used to borrow Yangshou?

If you eat them, you will be borrowed from Yangshou? "

The night watchmen are full of blood and often deal with ghosts, so their sixth sense is much sharper than others.

Zhu Xiucai felt something was wrong at the moment, and was making bold speculations.

Liao Lishi frowned and said: "If it is really borrowing fish for longevity, then who is borrowing it? Is it these boatmen? They don't look like people who understand witchcraft, and they are not too old, far from the age of The point where you need to borrow Yangshou to prolong your life."

"It's not necessarily to lend their own life, maybe... it's to the drowned." Qin Shaoyou thought of a possibility.

Both Zhu Xiucai and Liao Lishi's expression changed.

Obviously, everyone felt that this speculation was possible.

Qin Shaoyou turned up the volume, pretended to be chatting, and went to catch the words of the punting fisherman: "Boater, the flood before that must have drowned a lot of people, right?"

The fisherman sighed with sadness in his eyes: "Many people have indeed drowned."

Zhu Xiucai took up the topic and asked him, "Boss, everyone in your family is alright?"

The fisherman froze slightly, and then replied in an unnatural tone, "It's okay...hehe, it's okay."

Zhu Xiucai and Qin Shaoyou looked at each other.

They all saw that the fisherman was lying.

Before they could ask further, the fisherman had already reached the middle of the river with his boat.

At this moment, the night watchmen on the two ships suddenly felt a chill.

The chill penetrated through the skin and went straight to the bones and viscera, making even the bloody night watchmen shiver uncontrollably.

Immediately realized that there is a problem!

This is the season of summer, and it is the end of the day, the sun is scorching, how could it suddenly become so cold?

Even if the river wind blows, it shouldn't be like this.

A night watchman looked up at the sky, and suddenly found that the sun in the sky had become hazy at this moment.

It's like being shrouded in a layer of something.

And this hazy feeling is constantly increasing.

The next moment, they knew why there was such a strange hazy feeling.

But there was fog on the river, and the fog covered the sun.

Not only that, after the fog appeared, it was growing and thickening at an extremely abnormal speed.

In just a few breaths of time, the fog covering the river surface was already so large that people could not see the sun or the people around them at all.

Moreover, this cloud of fog seems to have the effect of covering up the sound.

The sound of running water, oars, and even the sound of talking among each other, etc. that everyone heard when the boat was sailing in the river before, all disappeared at this moment.

No, it cannot be said that there is no such thing.

Qin Shaoyou soon made a new discovery.

The sound should be blocked by the fog, and it became very low, making it difficult for people to hear.

This feeling is a bit like on earth, when taking off and landing quickly in an airplane or elevator, the pressure inside and outside the ear is unbalanced, which blocks the Eustachian tube and causes hearing loss.

If it is an ordinary person in this world, it will definitely be frightened by this weird scene.

But Qin Shaoyou and the others didn't do that.

Not only were they not frightened, they also immediately controlled the fishermen on the two boats according to the direction they remembered.

Seeing Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai suddenly appearing in front of and beside him, the fisherman was stunned at first, then flustered.

He seemed unable to understand why these two people were not affected by the sudden thick fog? Not frightened by the sudden appearance of deafness?

Zhu Xiucai stared at the fisherman, and asked with a sneer, "Boater, tell me, what's the matter with this fog? And those catfish boiled in your pot, are they used to buy human life with Yangshou?"

"I... I don't know what you're talking about." When the fisherman said this, he stumbled a little, obviously being flustered by the truth.

And judging by his appearance, he was not attacked by the cold air, nor was his hearing blocked by the strange fog.

Zhu Xiucai snorted coldly, and was about to ask another question when he suddenly felt the light around him dim.

The mist that appeared on the river actually cut off the sunlight, making the area shrouded in mist instantly dark, like night.

Then, a voice came from the mist.

These sounds were small at first, but quickly grew louder and louder.

"There is indeed a problem!"

Qin Shaoyou didn't panic, and after debating for a while, he heard the sound of turbulent water, the sound of river embankments and houses being washed away.

But there are more screams, cries, and calls for help...

Qin Shaoyou immediately understood that these should be the sounds that appeared on the night of the flood.

More than sound...

In the dark river water, groups of black shadows also appeared.

Qin Shaoyou and the night watchmen immediately poured blood into their eyes.

Even though the light was dim and covered by water mist, they could still see clearly the appearance of a few black shadows in the river water that were closer to the boat.

Those are human heads!

All the heads were disheveled, their faces were bruised and purple, their entire faces were swollen and out of shape, their eyes were protruding, they were pale without a trace of blood, their lips were turned outwards, sticking out black tongues...

After these heads emerged from the bottom of the river, they rushed towards the two boats from all directions.

"It's a water ghost!"

Zhu Xiucai's voice sounded beside Qin Shaoyou.

"Look for the water ghost who took the place of the dead ghost!"
