Otherworldly Merchant

In the meantime, a small police officer rushed over from the hillside.

“The first time we grew up together, we found Grandma Hua, and Kang SIR asked if you wanted to come over and take a look? ”

“Go!” the T-shirt man nodded and waved.

We got in the police car, and without waiting for me to ask, the T-shirt man introduced: "This water monster personality violence, killing people like numbness, as you can see, as long as all the bodies that are being targeted by it are gone. But Hua met twice in a row, all of them miraculously survived, even for the first time, she accidentally fell into the water and was rescued from shore by the water monster. ”

“Oh, and this.” I was incredibly surprised to hear that.

“Yes!” The wind outside the window lifted the T-shirt man Liu Hai slightly: “A few years ago, when I heard there were survivors, I thought it was just an accident. Plus, Grandma Hua lives in a place of uncertainty. If I can't find it for a while, I don't really care about it. But just the night before, several upstream laundry grandmothers were all caught in the river, and all the bone residue eaten by the water monster was left. Only Grandma Hua was safe, but she floated three or four miles along the river and was sent back to shore by the waves. ”

I thought about it and asked, "Is there something special about Grandma Hua, so the water monster is very constrained by her? ”

“That's what I suspect.” The T-shirt man replied: "According to the police force visit, she is a common rural grandmother whose husband died in a car accident, has been dead for decades, and has been living in rubbish collection since then. Now that the police have found her place, we'll go check it out. ”

Police cars crossed several narrow alleys and stopped in a shady little street.

The streets are tiny, with messy garbage and broken tires on both sides, and the police cars can't get in.

The two of us got out of the car, led by the little policeman, and walked around for half a day before going up to an old rotten tail building.

In the corridor of the rotten tail building, standing several Hong Kong policemen, one of them a tall, confused sheriff, turned his head to the T-shirt man and hurried up to greet him.

“The first time we were together, we just asked Granny Hu! She said that she was washing her clothes by the river and suddenly got caught in the river by a wave. She was about to drown, but somehow was sent ashore, and she knew nothing else.” The sheriff's Mandarin was not very standard, and he looked at me strangely when he spoke.

“Mm-hmm.” The T-shirt man nodded and continued forward.

At the end of the corridor is a shady little house that smells very intense mold as soon as it approaches.

It was filled with crappy cardboard boxes and empty bottles, blocking the otherwise inadequate sunlight and hiding the dark and sunken areas of the house.

There was a wire bed in the corner of the house, a skinny old lady in a dark grey coat sitting beside the bed, nagging in her mouth without knowing what to say.

I don't know what dialect she is talking about, anyway, the tone is very strange, I can't believe I don't understand a word.

“Grandma, have you seen anything in that water?” The T-shirt man approached and asked in a low voice.

A policeman next to him translated his words into local native languages.

Grandma Hua looked at the T-shirt and shook her head gently. Then she said something. The policeman translated: "She said that her old eyes were dizzy and she couldn't see anything clearly. At the time, her nose was full of water, and she thought she couldn't live. ”

“Can you see exactly what that thing looks like? ”

“Anyway, it was a big wave of shouting that pulled me off and screamed me ashore. ”

The T-shirt man asked a few more questions, and Grandma Hua answered with some panic.

After the police officers translated, they said to us: "We made a statement before, but we didn't find any useful clues. It seems that Aunt Hua was really a little too frightened at the time and didn't remember anything. ”

The T-shirt man looked at me and shook his head gently.

Obviously, this Hua Lady is very ordinary and has not exhaled a bit of pubic air, and the water monster in the river should have nothing to do with her.

But that's even weirder -- so many people are dead, they can't even find the bones, but why just leave her alone? And several times in a row.

Watermonster not only ate her, but deliberately sent her ashore. I don't believe Watermonster is learning to do good things for Lei Feng?

The clue seems to have broken again.

“Okay, Grandma, let's do this first.” The T-shirt man said faintly: "If you think of anything else, keep us posted.” Take me with you when you're done.

Grandma answered and stood up habitually, trying to send us out.

But as soon as she got up, the sun that came in from outside the door shone right in front of her chest, and a glimmer of light reflected, and the prick couldn't open his eyes.

Me and the T-shirt guy noticed this detail at the same time and brushed their heads together.

But I saw a little pendant hanging from Grandma Hua's chest.

“Grandma, what is this? Can I see it?” The T-shirt man asked.

After being translated by the police, Grandma Hua looked at the T-shirt man with some confusion and immediately removed the pendant.

The T-shirt man held the pendant in his hand and played with it before handing it to me.

The pendant is very eye-catching, it is a small white stone, the material is very ordinary, it is a roadbed stone everywhere, not to mention a shape, it has only been worn on the body for a long time and is extremely smooth, a small hole has been punched in the middle, wearing a red rope past, it looks ordinary, but even a little ugly and pathetic. But when you hold it in your hand, you can feel a very strange force.

Neither yin nor yang, but a mysterious force I have never encountered.

Is it true that she survived twice in a row because of this thing?

“Grandma, where did you get this pendant?” I looked at the little stone in my hand and asked in a gentle whisper.

Grandma was stunned, and Nono said.

The policeman standing next to her hurried to translate: “She said it was a amulet from their home village of Huba. Once every child in Huba village had a full moon, he would take it to the village's temples and the oldest elderly person in the village would personally hang a piece of hanging around his neck. Hanging decorations will keep Huba villagers safe and harmless for life. ”

“She's been wearing this dress for over sixty years and her husband and son have been sick, but she's been fine. ”

At the end of the day, Grandma Hua seemed deeply afraid that we would take it. She added: "It is not worth much money. It is the custom of the village. No one can leave. If there is no such amulet after death, no one can be buried in the village. ”

I saw how cautious Grandma Hua was about this pendant and carefully returned it. Turn around and say to the T-shirt man: “Looks like that's the problem. The water monster may be afraid of this thing, which is why he dares not harm her! ”
