Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 1378: The Muddy Bow
Wow...
As soon as the scarecrow fell into the water, the black wave stopped.
“Look what it is.” By the gutter, a villager shouted.
Everyone looked back and found a body on the edge of the pool.
“Hook it up!” I yelled.
Several bolder villagers used their hoes to hook the body up to shore.
The corpses have been around for some years, they have all turned white bones and their clothes have decayed, but they can still be seen as a robe, not a modern man's costume at all.
The body, though it had become like this, seemed to be still alive. The hands and feet were still shaking and the neck seemed to rise at any moment.
“Insert willow branches around it!” I command again.
The fat sister-in-law, who I settled in, didn't have the guts to grab the willow branch from an aunt with a pale face next to her and do it.
As soon as the body was surrounded by willow branches, she immediately stood up and sat up in the lower half of the brush.
That fat sister-in-law scared my mother and sat on the floor.
“Throw the peach root!” I shouted.
Another aunt hurriedly threw the root of the peach tree in her hand.
The roots of the peach tree fell on the bone, making a bang, and then the bone looked up and lay motionless on the ground.
The bones rotted at an extremely rapid rate, and many small pieces of bone immediately dissolved, and the air was filled with an extremely nauseating odor.
Wow!
At the same time, there is another wave coming out of the black water pond, more than a metre high, wrapped in a gloomy cold, which seems to be much more vicious than just now.
I rubbed a piece of sand on the second scarecrow and threw it in again. Blackwave calmed down and found another body by the pond.
With the experience of talent, I don't need to say this time, the villagers also know how to handle it, immediately hook up to the shore, insert willow branches around, and then hit the root of the peach tree.
Time is running out, dozens of wind waves have been raised in the pool, and more than thirty bodies have been laid on the shore.
Until then, the villagers looked at me with a little trust and honesty, but became more afraid of Blackwater Pond.
Not only are they, I'm stunned myself. What the hell is this place? How dare you bury so many bodies!
From the few clothes left on these corpses, they are all ancient costumes, but because the rot is too strong, it is temporarily unclear which dynasty they are from, it can only be inferred that they are from the same period.
A while later, the bones of many animals sprung up in the black pool.
The shore floor is already filled with large pieces of white roots, white bones, stained with sludge, wrapped around rotten rags, black and white staggered hair numbness!
That breathtaking stench, like an invisible sword, frightens everyone here!
The pond runs out of the deep trenches on both sides, and the water drops quickly, revealing an extremely thick sludge close to the shore.
“So... what's that?” He Ann, standing next to me, suddenly shouted in front of me.
I looked forward in the direction of his fingers and saw something in the mud, slowly crawling like a mud.
It's just that the pool is too dark, the sludge is too thick, and some of it doesn't look very real.
But there is indeed something in the water that is slowly approaching us.
“It's a man, it's a man!” When we got closer, the villagers could see clearly and shouted out in panic.
It's a man!
The man could not see clearly what he was wearing, not even a man or a woman could tell. He was covered in sludge, bent over in the sludge and climbed to the shore for a moment.
He moved slowly but not rigidly, really like a person who accidentally fell inside, the dogs screamed loudly, and several big cocks ripped open their necks and cried.
As he approached, the villagers retreated with great fear, more timidly, long gone.
He Ann also shivered and turned to me: “Master Zhang, this... what is this! ”
“Give me your hand.” I spoke to Ho Ann.
He Ann was somewhat confused, but still reached out.
I pulled out an invisible needle and stuck it on his fingertips, opened the cloth bag I had brought from which house, pulled a dress out of it, rubbed some blood and handed it over to him: "Send it to the people in the sludge. ”
“Ah?” He An stunned and shook a chill.
“Didn't you want to know what exactly was blessing your home? You can try it now, the monster in the black water pond, whether or not you have any source. Don't worry, I'll stand right behind you. It'll be fine. ”
After listening to me, He Ann finally felt comfortable and walked past the clothes step by step.
In the meantime, the monster in the sludge climbed ashore step by step.
This is truly a man, thin and leaves only a pair of skinny bones, covered in silt, blind to gender and appearance.
He Ann looked back at me with some fear and saw me nodding at him, which made him tremble closer, throwing the clothes in his hand at the man far away.
The man raised his head and looked at He An. Then he held onto his clothes in front of his hands. Then he knelt down and kowtowed to He An deeply.
Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged on the water, as if suddenly many people had been drilled out of the sludge.
One crawls forward, straight to the shore.
“It's really good!” I walked past with my baggage and handed one to Ho An.
He An looked at me suspiciously and didn't have to say anything else. As he had just said, he dropped blood on his clothes and then threw them all out.
The weirdos in the mud climbed ashore, took the clothes and knelt on the ground, prostrated to He 'an, and knelt neatly on the shore.
The villagers looked at this very strange scene and stayed for a while.
Who are they? Who the hell is a ghost? What does it have to do with the Ho family after spending so much time in this black pool? Why are you kneeling down to Ho An?
Father He approached with confusion. “Master Zhang, who are they? ”
