Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 81: Woody Fish in the Night
After the cheer, the people tied the python to the bamboo pole and were ready to take it back to the cottage for display.
Uncle also picked up the wooden fish and said it was their trophy.
I'm worried about persuading Uncle Four that this wooden fish is not ordinary and is likely to be a shady thing. It's best to burn it on the spot so as not to cause any trouble to the villagers.
Uncle Yu naturally did not like it. He said that the goose bump had been in the stomach of a python snake for a number of years. The medicinal value must be very high, which is no worse than ginseng and Ganoderma.
I repeatedly persuaded Uncle Fourth Uncle to be a little upset, and I was too lazy to go on talking nonsense. I knew sooner or later there would be a time when he regretted it.
As soon as the python was taken back, it led to the whole village, and everyone came to see the noise. Uncle Four said that hosting a big campfire party tonight would be a celebration.
The party was a success, people bounced and jumped around the python, and the last fire burned the python clean, making the rest of the skeleton into ornaments, and it was filled with flowers, and it was really beautiful.
As for the wooden fish, it was left at home like Uncle Four Baby.
Yoon Xinyue, look at me all the time. Ask me what's going on.
So I told Yin Xinyue of my concerns. Yin Xinyue advised me not to think too much at the moment. This should not be so complicated, it is just a big python.
Since Python is dying and doesn't want to hurt the villagers, I'm afraid he won't hurt the villagers after he dies?
I sighed and said it was better that way.
But unforeseen, the disaster soon happened...
That night, sleeping confused me, suddenly awakened by the sound of a wooden fish.
At first I thought it was too stressful to hear. But when I listened carefully, the sound became more and more inventive, and the sound of the mermaid layered on top of each other, making me feel like I was having a headache.
I hurried to wake up Li Mazi and asked him if he heard anything.
Li Mazi shook his head and said that you were sick. It was late at night. Who would have a free egg ache and knock a wooden fish to play with?
When you're done, turn around and go back to sleep.
Strange, why didn't Li Mazi hear so much? I felt this was very unusual, so I decided to go to Uncle Four's house.
I'll be prepared in advance in case it's a shady thing.
But when I walked out the door, the sound of the knocking fish disappeared. I was a little relieved and thought I might really be thinking too much.
The next day, Yin Xinyue offered to take us around to see the scenery, but I didn't think about it at all. My mind was full of wooden fish.
At night, the sound of the knocking fish reappeared in my ear. After all the pain, I finally decided to go to Uncle Four's house.
After I made up my mind, I went to Uncle Four's house in my clothes.
The night was dark, quiet, half-sky, starlit, but stingy, not giving the cottage a little light. The flashlight is limited in brightness, and I can't help but chill from the occasional cold wind.
As I passed the python skeleton, I heard the wind blowing through the skeleton as if someone were crying.
So I immediately photographed the python skeleton with my flashlight.
The skeleton hangs quietly on the tree and occasionally a gust of wind blows through, shaking gently for a few moments, with the flowers falling all over the floor.
Whitson's skeleton, the stubborn python head, the volatile body, it was a bit scary, and I had to step up.
Soon I arrived at Uncle Four's place.
The door to Uncle Four's residence was locked, and as I approached him, I was acutely aware that the sound of the knocking fish was coming from Uncle Four's room.
I hurried over the wall and touched Uncle Four's room with my hands and feet. When I pushed the window of Uncle Four's room open and saw the scene inside, it was silent.
Uncle is knocking on a wooden fish right now!
He closed his eyes, but every single time he knocked it right on the wooden fish.
And the expression is stiff, the motion is stubborn, like sleepwalking.
What's going on here?
Suddenly, Uncle Four stopped, and he cautiously lifted the wooden fish, then pointed at the gap in the middle of the wooden fish and raised his mouth to blow inside.
He had been breathing for a particularly long time, with no ventilation at all.
At the end of the day, his face was blushing, his eyes opened violently, and his congested eyes seemed to pop out at any moment, very scary.
I was so worried that he would hold himself alive in one breath, that he wanted to go in and pull the wooden fish away. Fortunately, after about half a minute of blowing, he took a deep breath, then placed the wooden fish on the table and continued to knock.
Throughout the night, he repeated these two moves, repeatedly circulating.
Oddly enough, even if Uncle Four's wife slept with him in a room, he was not woken up and occasionally snoring.
No one else in the village could hear the wooden fish.
That's strange. Why is it so far apart that I can hear them, but they can't? I don't think it's easy to come up with this wooden fish, it's 100 percent shady.
Now I can't disturb Uncle Four because I heard that waking up a sleepwalker would make him demented.
So I was out there, waiting until the cock sounded in the villa, and Uncle Four put down the wooden fish and went to sleep in the duvet.
After dawn, I secretly told Li Mazi what I found.
After listening to Li Mazi, the first reaction is fear, the second reaction is excitement. Says the wooden fish is a treasure. It must have been left behind by the roadblocker. Don't know how many hairy grandpa you can sell?
I smoked a cigarette and forced myself to calm down, and said to Li Mazi: “Although this is a treasure, we can't take it away because I've never heard of such a shady thing, and I'm afraid to take it back! ”
My only thought now is to burn the wooden fish, maybe as the wooden fish is burned, so will the spirits left inside.
Li Mazi is a little disappointed. Is there no other way to ask me?
I had a headache for a while, shook my head and said there was no better way...
Now the thing that worries me the most is that even if I told Uncle Four that there is something wrong with the wooden fish, I don't think Uncle Four will believe me, and I can't forcibly take the wooden fish.
After half a day of thinking, I decided to go to Yin Xinyue. She's a native here. Maybe she can convince Uncle!
