cloudy day

Chapter 587

"The river demon? What do you mean?" I asked in surprise, and suddenly remembered the white shadow behind me when I came back...

But the old man didn't answer me. Instead, he angrily picked up the broom in the yard and drove us away, yelling: "Get out! Get out!"

I hastily said a few good words, and told Huang Shisan not to say any more, and left in a hurry with my luggage.

Unexpectedly, misfortunes never come singly. When we just walked out of the yard, it started to rain in the sky, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by bursts of lightning and thunder.

The three of us were soon drowned, Huang Shisan asked aggrievedly: "Brother Changsheng, what should we do now? It's so cold, we must catch a cold."

As a flash of thunder passed by, I saw a small temple not far away, and I quickly said: "Oh, looking at the dark clouds in the night sky, I guess this rainstorm will not stop for a while, there is a small temple over there , let's go hide there..."

The two of them nodded, and we hurried into the small temple. Although the temple was dilapidated, at least the ground, walls and roof were dry and the roof did not leak.

The three of us hurriedly lit the bonfire, took off our wet coats and put them aside to dry, I looked at the torrential rain outside the temple and sighed and said: "I guess we'll have to make do with the night here tonight." , Alas, I am really at a loss now, what is this called?"

"Don't worry about that much, let's go after we escaped the rain! That smelly old man didn't welcome us either, why did we invite the river monster? We didn't see any river monster or sea monster just now. When driving them away, they should have picked up the money on the ground as well," complained Huang Shisan.

"Forget it, maybe we really got into some trouble. When the sky clears tomorrow, I will call Uncle Ghost and urge him to investigate the whereabouts of the ghost." I said and glanced at the time. Just under two hours.

After that, none of the three of us was in the mood to sleep, so we just stared blankly at the lightning outside the window and the heavy rain.Under this violent storm, the howling ghosts and wolves on the other side of the Soul Water River can hardly be heard anymore.

When it was early in the morning, the heavy rain finally stopped. We got dressed and packed our luggage. Perhaps out of curiosity, we came to the river bank again without knowing it.

I originally thought that this weird imagination would disappear as soon as the day dawned, but unexpectedly the blood mist was still there last night, but the river surface was much calmer.

The warships and Yin soldiers seen last night have all disappeared, but there are three more wooden boats in their place!

Shrouded in mist, the three wooden boats didn't look strange at first glance, but I always felt that there was something wrong.

When I took a closer look, I suddenly realized that these three wooden boats were going against the current!

I instantly remembered what the old man said. He said that what the villagers fear most is a wooden boat going against the water on the Soul Water River. Once this wooden boat appears, people will die!
A gust of wind blew past, and the blood mist gradually dissipated. Only then did I realize that there were three people on each of the three wooden boats, and there were nine people in total!
Each of them looked devastated, staring blankly at the river, like a dummy in a shop window...

Seeing this scene, the three of us on the shore became dumbfounded, and when we were surprised, there were suddenly many footsteps behind us.

I hurriedly turned my head and saw that many villagers were running towards the bank of the river, and there was a familiar figure among them, it was the old man who entertained us last night.

When they ran to the shore, I was about to ask, but the old man fell to his knees on the shore with a plop, and shouted loudly at the wooden boat: "Xiaoyingzi... Xiaoyingzi..."

When I heard the cry, my heart skipped a beat, and after a closer look, I realized that there was this old man's granddaughter on the wooden boat!
