The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 149 Baby yarn

Doubt alone is not enough to prove something.

Especially now there is still a crux of the matter, it is not only the water monster that is harming people, there may be an extra water ghost.

Xia Xiangxi temporarily lived in Chun Geng's house.Chun Geng's parents are very simple Miao people.But seeing Chun Geng bring back a Han girl, Chun Geng's parents were a little unhappy.There was a smile on his face, but it was obviously fake.

After that, Chun Geng's father called Chun Geng to the back room.When Xia Xiangxi heard the content of their conversation, she had misunderstood. She thought that Chun Geng fell in love with a girl of Han nationality, and took Xia Xiangxi as the object of Chun Geng's love.After knowing the answer, the smiles on Chun Geng's parents' faces became real.

Xia Xiangxi asked Chun Geng if he had a fishing rod at home. If not, he could use a fishing net, which she needed to catch water ghosts at night.

Chun Geng said that there are fishing rods and fishing nets, but they are very traditional and self-made.

Xia Xiangxi nodded and said, "That's all."

The self-made fishing rod is actually a fishing rod made of long bamboo poles, which are not as flexible as the hand rods on the market.But Xia Xiangxi wasn't really fishing. Compared with the fishing rods sold in the market, the bamboo poles were stronger and more labor-intensive.

In the evening, Xia Xiangxi figured out the time before going out.Chun Geng wanted to follow, but Xia Xiangxi refused.Chun Geng is a man with strong yang energy. Originally, if Chun Geng went there, it would be easier to attract water ghosts to appear.But Xia Xiangxi was also afraid, fearing that if he missed, Chun Geng would be affected.So she would rather go by herself.

If you have a fishing rod, you also need bait.The bait Xia Xiangxi used was the earthworms she dug out from the wet mud by the river in the evening.Naturally, such earthworms cannot attract water ghosts to come up.Xia Xiangxi worked hard to collect the spirits of those earthworms and condense them on one earthworm to become a water ghost, the essence that even ordinary monsters like to eat.Such bait is very attractive to water ghosts.

In addition to the special processing of the bait, the fishing rod was also tampered with by Xia Xiangxi.She caught the spirit of an old locust tree and trapped it on a fishing rod, so that she could help her drag the water ghost ashore from the water.The locust tree is originally a ghost among trees, and compared to other spirit trees, it is less likely to cause water ghosts to be afraid.Ghosts are not afraid of ghosts, let alone a tree ghost.

After everything was prepared, Xia Xiangxi arrived at the section of the river where the water ghost was detected during the day.She wasn't worried that the water ghost would go somewhere else.No matter whether it is a human, a ghost, or an animal, they will give themselves a home, a nest, and a place where they are used to resting.

The moisture along the river is at its strongest at midnight, and this season is sultry and hot. Although the nights in the mountains are cooler than those in the plains, the humidity is much heavier than that in the plains.At this moment, the river seems to have a thin layer of mist, and people soaking in it will feel that clammy and sticky feeling on their bodies, as if every pore is blocked, which is very uncomfortable.

Xia Xiangxi put the fishing rod back on the line, checked the hook and bait again, then threw the rod, holding the rod and waiting for the water ghost to take the bait.

The moon tonight is like a biscuit that has been eaten by people. The moon is incomplete, but the moonlight is still pale and bright.The mountain breeze is slightly drunk, and the river surface is sparkling, like countless dead fish, large or small, floating on the water surface, reflecting pale and penetrating light.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xia Xiangxi heard the crisp sound of paddling water.Xia Xiangxi's nerves began to tense, and his eyes were fixed on the float. When his hand felt a slight sinking and the float was in place and stable, he rose slowly and then stopped briefly and forcefully. This was the "most standard" signal. "Fish" bit the hook.Naturally, what Xia Xiangxi caught at this moment was definitely not a fish, but a terrifying water ghost.

Xia Xiangxi had experience in dealing with water ghosts, and it would be very difficult to drag the biting water ghosts up.The water ghost is so strong that it can drag a cow down in the water.But when it reached the shore, it was as weak as a newborn baby, unable to fight back.

Therefore, when Xia Xiangxi reeled in the pole, she had to be firm and steady. If the water ghost had room to react, it would be even more difficult for her to drag the water ghost out of the water with a fishing line.

The fishhook was dragged out of the water, and the water surface, which was as flat as a mirror just now, was instantly broken.A naked woman with fluttering black hair is hanging on the hook.This was absolutely different from what Xia Xiangxi had expected.The woman stood up straight like a dead fish, giving Xia Xiangxi the feeling that she had just killed someone with a fishhook, and her hands trembled instantly.At this moment, the woman suddenly shook her body like a fish, easily got off the hook and fell into the water.

The next moment, clumps of black hair appeared on the surface of the river, like algae, spreading arrogantly all over the river.The river water is like water that has just been boiled, with countless blisters.

A stream of water wet Xia Xiangxi's feet like a turbulent wave hitting the shore, and in the next moment, countless strands of hair were already wrapped around her legs.The hair tightened Xia Xiangxi's legs in an instant, and the powerful force dragged Xia Xiangxi into the water irresistibly.

At the critical moment, the water at Xia Xiangxi's feet suddenly condensed into water balls the size of footballs, and then, like real footballs, they seemed to be kicked out fiercely, facing a place in the middle of the river, fiercely Hit.

A woman's scream sounded, Xia Xiangxi quickly grabbed the hair that was wrapped around her feet, and pulled it towards the shore like a net.A moment later, a naked woman was dragged ashore by Xia Xiangxi from the water. Her plump body was still covered with water droplets, like shining pearls under the moonlight.

Every time on the road of catching ghosts, Xia Xiangxi didn't repeatedly read a kind of knowledge, but not only gained insight.This is the first time she has seen a water ghost that can maintain a human form.

The female water ghost shook her body, wrapped her arms around her chest, and slowly bent her body into a shrimp.

Xia Xiangxi picked up the fishing rod and stabbed fiercely at the female water ghost's heart. The fishing rod instantly penetrated the female water ghost's body, and the female water ghost let out a miserable cry.His body swung on the mud like a fish.

If it was an ordinary fishing rod, it would definitely not bring such pain to the female water ghost.Now the female water ghost is firmly nailed to the ground, it seems that there are tree roots treating her as soil, penetrating deeply, and firmly rooted on the mud bank!
The water ghost cried and begged for mercy.

Xia Xiangxi sneered repeatedly, "Those who were killed by you, why didn't you spare them?"

The female water ghost wept bitterly, saying that she had not harmed anyone.

Xia Xiangxi clenched the fishing rod tightly with her hands, and a silent mantra made the fishing rod alive like a tree root, and the root system spread throughout the female water ghost's body, as dense as blood vessels.

The female water ghost screamed like a pig in pain, Xia Xiangxi asked again, "Can you tell the truth?"

The female water ghost repeatedly answered "talk".Only then did Xia Xiangxi let go of his grip on the fishing rod.

Afterwards, Xia Xiangxi found out that it was a water ghost that threw itself into the water and had stayed in the water for hundreds of years.Because it voluntarily threw itself into the water to die, it didn't have such a heavy hostility on its body.Because there used to be countless lotus flowers on the surface of the water, the female water ghost got a lot of practice after soaking in the purifying energy of the lotus root.

And according to it, it never intentionally harmed anyone, and instead saved many people.Naturally, Xia Xiangxi didn't believe it, but it didn't hurt to listen to its nonsense for a while.

The female water ghost said that she was called Washa in her previous life, and she was betrayed by her lover, so she threw herself into the water and died, and became a water ghost here.Because she doesn't want to be a human again, so she can be her water ghost with peace of mind. She hasn't harmed anyone for hundreds of years, but has saved many people.

A year ago, she had saved a man named He Zhe...

Xia Xiangxi was startled, and thought to herself that she guessed right, thinking that the coincidence must have something inexplicably related to this female ghost.However, Xia Xiangxi did not interrupt Wa Sha's words, and listened to her continue.

Washa continued, she rescued He Zhe ashore, but He Zhe still insisted on wanting to die.She couldn't help showing her face on purpose to scare him and make him stop thinking of dying.

He Zhe said that life is better than death, and it is better to die.Washa hasn't had close contact with human beings for hundreds of years. Seeing this handsome and handsome He Zhe, she was a little moved and wanted to talk to him more.

After Wa Sha died in the water, she walked ashore for the first time in hundreds of years, and she listened to He Zhe talk about his thoughts.Only then did he realize that this poor man was betrayed by his wife, and he became neither a man nor a woman, and lost the qualifications to be a real man, so he had the idea of ​​dying.

Washa heard that He Zhe was also hurt by love, and was also betrayed by her lover, so she felt that He Zhe was in the same boat.She began to gently comfort He Zhe, and told him that it was not worth the pain for a woman who betrayed him.They chatted all night, and they felt like confidants overnight, and they met each other for a long time.

Later, He Zhe really decided not to die, he would come to the river to chat with Wa Sha every night.Washa found herself falling in love with this handsome young man.

He Zhe also began to be inseparable from Washa, but he said that he was no longer a real man, although he longed for it in his heart, he hadn't done that kind of husband and wife thing with his wife for many years.Now falling in love with Washa, a blazing flame is burning in my heart, but I can't touch Washa like a man at all.

Washa smiled mischievously and pushed He Zhe into the water.He Zhe was taken aback, thinking that Washa was going to harm him, he was so scared that he flopped about in the water like a landlubber.Washa swam over and kissed the joint, and they sank into the water together.

It was only then that He Zhe realized that he could actually live in the water, and he also began to feel the body holding Wa Sha.
