C16 Water Ghost

Third Uncle noticed my strangeness but didn't turn around. He first sat down and waited for my reply.

I also quickly calmed down, as if nothing had happened. The person behind me didn't even turn around for a long time.

"What is it, Xiaofan, have you found anything?" Third Uncle's voice was very calm, but I revealed a hint of anxiousness.

"Third Uncle, I saw Hu Qingquan!"

"What, I actually ran into him here?" Third Uncle lost his voice.

I only recognized him because I found out about his photo of the event last time on the internet. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to recognize him.

So we didn't say much and just waited for the dishes to arrive. After we finished eating in silence, we walked outside.

"He called a taxi back to the hotel, only then did Third Uncle speak." "Actually, I wanted to follow him and find out where he lived, but I was afraid that I might miss something." Third Uncle's expression was indecisive, as if he wasn't sure if he was right or wrong, but it also seemed like he felt that it was a pity.

It's true that the person we've been looking for appeared in front of us all of a sudden. Naturally, he was very excited, but Third Uncle suppressed his impulsiveness. It was indeed difficult.

"It's fine, Third Uncle. You're right. If it were me, I would be impulsive for a moment, but I really shouldn't alert the enemy right now." "We have an appointment tomorrow to go to the photography company. Let's think about the family heirloom first." I comforted her.

Third Uncle nodded as if he had understood something. Immediately, he picked up a small bag from the headboard. He took out a compass from it. It was the compass used to catch ghosts!

"Let's just use this. It's been around for a while, it's an antique after all." Third Uncle said with a smile.

"I immediately reached out for it." Third Uncle, let go of it. It's so tight, how can I take it? " I looked at the reluctance on Third Uncle's face and felt helpless.

Third Uncle smiled embarrassedly before he let go.

When he held the compass in his hand, he realized that it was indeed quite heavy. There were many patterns on its surface. It seemed to be ancient, but it was slightly less damaged than an ordinary compass.

"This is the last treasure that my master left me when I took him in as my master. It's really a family heirloom." "Third Uncle could not hide the pride in his eyes. Suddenly, he thought of something and said," "Take it with you and be careful not to break it." "

"Don't worry, I'll just take it and take a picture. How can I let you break it?" I'm tired of listening, I said impatiently. Then I put the compass in my pocket.

Third Uncle seemed to have noticed and didn't say anything more.

Third Uncle then lay on the bed and slept soundly, but I wasn't sleepy. I wanted to go downstairs and look around to see the scenery of the city.

A moment later I went downstairs to the supermarket near the hotel and bought a bottle of mineral water. At this moment, the sun was about to set, so I simply followed the sidewalk. Beside the sidewalk was a tributary of a river that spanned across the entire A city, thus there were quite a few riverbanks in A city. Looking down from above, there were quite a few youths playing nearby.

I couldn't help but think back to those green years, when I was still a pure and innocent virgin boy. I only wanted to study and didn't know what I wanted to ask for. I also didn't know what green tea and black tea were.

I walked down the path and arrived at the riverbank. A young couple with bare feet ran in front of me. It was really a fantasy. Maybe at night, there would be a couple conversing in the sand …

Sitting by the river alone, I grabbed a few pieces of gravel and threw them into the water. I couldn't help but think back to the past, how I had met Xiaofang, how I had proposed to her that day, how she had been so beautiful on the day of the wedding, how everything had appeared before my eyes. I couldn't help the tears welling up at the corners of my eyes as I thanked the heavens for being so kind to me.

After that came the laughter and voices of his grandparents. However, it only lasted for a moment and brought back endless memories. Grandmother said that she believed in ghosts and gods. I used to scoffed at her, and Grandmother always prayed for me to be safe and healthy. Now that I think about it, I might be a little too conceited and don't know how to love.

Shaking his head, he came back to his senses and took a look. The sun had snuck down some time ago, and night had already fallen. The passersby in the surroundings had long disappeared too. I realized that time had passed so quickly. I mocked myself and got up to leave. I think that by this time, Third Uncle might already be worried about me. After all, he doesn't have a phone, so it wouldn't be good for him to contact me.

When I was about to get up, I realized that I couldn't get up, that my feet were entangled by something. I looked down and was startled! It was a pair of hands. More accurately, it was a pair of abnormal hands. One was long while the other was short. Both of his hands tightly held my feet. The front end of the hand was not a finger, but a web like a frog!

Besides, my hands seemed to be pulling me down, and I was scared to the point of peeing. Damn, this is the tempo of running into a ghost again, why am I so unlucky? I pulled my foot up, but it just fell down. I had no choice but to forcefully suppress the fear in my heart. I used my hands to pry open the 'hands', but to my surprise, my hands were also tied inside.

Seeing that I was about to be slowly dragged inside, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. My heart was filled with fear. It was as though I couldn't move my body no matter how hard I tried.

I thought back to when I was a kid, I heard my grandma say, don't play around by the water at night, because there are water ghosts in the water, they look like yakshas, they drag people into the water and eat them. I thought I was listening to a story and didn't expect to meet one today. When I thought about what would happen to me, my heart skipped a beat. However, its body refused to obey its commands, allowing it to pull a little bit more.

Suddenly, something emerged from the water. It was so dark that one could not see it clearly. Let me take a closer look, it's the head of the water ghost! This one was frighteningly long, not much different from Yaksha in appearance. Just looking at it made one's stomach churn. However, it was different when it looked at me. Its face was full of smiles. When it smiled on such a terrifying face, it only gave people endless fear.

At this moment, half of my body had already sunk into the water. It seemed that this water ghost wanted to first let me enjoy it slowly before it took my time. My body shuddered and a portion of my clothes on my back had already wet off. I wanted to ask for help, but there was no one around. I gave up the idea. At this moment, the desire to live and the unchangeable fact collided in my mind, and my face was hideous. Then I remembered something. Maybe this thing could save me!

When I realized that my body could still move slightly, I twisted my waist to show the contents of the bag. However, this was clearly very difficult. After being stunned for a long time, he still couldn't come up with anything. I felt despair as my body grew less and less exposed to the water. I gave up all useless struggles and closed my eyes, wanting to bring something to my parents. Third Uncle, Xiaofang. However, it was just empty talk whether it could reach or not.

Just when I thought that I was about to die, I heard a strange scream that didn't seem like it came from a human. I opened my eyes and saw that the compass was floating on the surface of the water at some point, emitting a golden light. The water ghost covered its eyes with its hands and fled. With a 'pu tong' sound, it dove into the water.

Only then did I remember that the water ghost had let go of my hands, so that my hands and feet could move. Immediately, I kicked my feet out of the water and landed on the beach. I felt my hands and feet regain their ability to move, and I thanked the heavens for escaping death. When I stretched my body and saw that the compass was still quietly lying on the surface of the water, I immediately put it away. This time, it was all thanks to me.

I couldn't help but laugh bitterly, then immediately ran away from the place, back down the path, and onto the road. I took out my cell phone and looked at it. It was 8: 50. It was so late. I didn't expect me to stay so long. I shook my head, didn't think too much about it, and got in a taxi. The driver looked at me strangely, as if he was wondering what I was doing so late in such a remote place. I was too lazy to care about it, so I closed my eyes to rest.

After a while, the driver said he had arrived. I paid him and got out of the car. It's the first time I've ever felt so close to this hotel. It feels good to be able to survive, Zhang Yifan thought, but the word "second" had to be ridiculed.

At the door to my room, I inserted the key and was about to open the door when the others opened it from the inside, startling me.

"Third Uncle?" It's so good to see you! " I burst into tears and threw myself into Uncle's arms like a child.

"Xiaofan, don't be afraid. If you have anything to say, say it to Third Uncle." Third Uncle originally wanted to ask Zhang Yifan why he came back so late, which caused him to worry for quite a while. However, seeing Zhang Yifan in such a state, he could only comfort him and help him sit on the bed.

"En, Third Uncle, I nearly lost my life again today!" "It's all thanks to that compass of yours. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come back to see you today." I told Uncle everything that had happened.

Third Uncle was also very shocked when he heard this, but soon after, he frowned and his expression changed. After finishing his sentence, Third Uncle said, "I was wondering why your clothes were so wet. Your expression is not right, so that's how it is."

No wonder the driver had looked at me so strangely. He had forgotten about it. Seeing that Third Uncle didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something, I just silently sat there, waiting for Third Uncle to speak.

"From what you said, I already have a general idea. This ghost is what you call a water ghost. It's just that there's something strange about this. Even though your fate is weak, you shouldn't be provoking a water ghost. A water ghost's unique ability allows it to eat strong people. This is too unreasonable. " Third Uncle lowered his head and muttered.

I just can't figure it out. I can't figure it out.
