After understanding the whole story, I smiled and asked Master Liu if my guess was correct, if this matter was originally intended to test me, and he also smiled and said, "No, I just thought of it temporarily, you join the organization. I have already submitted the matter, and the position I want for you is not low. I was thinking of something to open the eyes of the people in the organization. I happened to encounter this water ghost, so I will let you show it. already."
I asked the barren village thing is okay? Dealing with ghosts alone, I always feel that I have no idea. After all, I can't even hire a ghost king now. If Master Liu doesn't help, I'm afraid I can deal with ordinary red ghosts at most, and a little "strict" Seriously, I can't do it. For example, the Merlin from last time almost killed me.
Seeing that I had been hesitating, Master Liu said again: "Xiaoyong, you are an adult now, you can't always be taken care of by someone, and you can't always use something that is not your own strength, like a magic trick. If you become dependent on the arts, your Taoism will be difficult. In addition, you have to learn to handle things independently. After all, I can't always take care of you. You also need to have the time to do big things independently. ."
I understand all these principles, but when it came time for me to do it, I started to back down again. After all, these things will lose my life if I am not careful.
Master Liu shook his head and said again: "Xiaoyong, have you noticed that when I'm not by your side, if you encounter a ghost, you can't help but take care of it and intervene, but when I'm by your side, You will always become timid, I am a stumbling block for you, if so, then I have to disappear for a few years."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Foster father, I always feel that when I am by your side, I should not take action when I encounter those things. I always feel like I am trying to get an axe in the door."
Master Liu also smiled and said, "Idiot, if you don't dare to use your hands, what's the use of learning this practice?"
After that, Master Liu didn't talk to me much, and asked me to collect the money on the table, then read the information, and follow that Wang Jin to deal with her affairs tomorrow.
I said "oh" and had no choice but to agree.
I went back to my room with my faith and a cowhide bag. After briefly looking at the money in my faith, I smiled and put it aside, and then opened the so-called information left by Wang Jin.
The kraft bag is not thick, just a few pages of paper with two photos attached to it.
For text and photos, most people choose to look at the photos first, and I am no exception. I took two photos in my hand and looked at them. The first one is a group photo of a girl and a little boy. The two are about the same age. Fifteen or sixteen years old.
There are also two names written on the back of the photo: Wang Jin and Wang Chen.
It seems that this is a photo of Wang Jin hour. The one named Wang Chen should be her younger brother. The two look a bit similar in appearance.
The other photo was taken when the man named Wang Chen was swimming on a very wide water surface. He raised his head in the water and made a "V" for the camera at the same time, his face was still full of expression. with a bright smile.
The second photo has no words on the back.
But looking at these two photos, I naturally couldn't see anything, so I flipped through the pages. These materials should have been handwritten by Wang Jin himself. and her brother Wang Chen.
I almost forgot the content after reading the first few pictures. They were all talking about how good her relationship with her brother was. When it came to the last two pictures, Wang Jin's narration slowed down. She spent the whole time. A page tells a story.
In the year when the story happened, Wang Jin was sixteen years old and Wang Chen was fourteen years old. That year happened to be the summer vacation. The sister and brother followed a few playmates from their hometown to a reservoir near the village to "play" (the meaning of play). ), they took their homemade fishing rods and hooks, and chose a place called Gaoyatou (the place name by the reservoir) to stop and start fishing.
The water here is very deep, so a few people felt that they could catch a big fish here, and they were very excited. However, after fishing for more than an hour, the bait was frequently eaten, but no small fish was caught, so a few people They felt that their tools were not good enough, so a few boys gave up fishing and went to the other side to take off their clothes and swim.
Wang Jin and Wang Chen are both children who grew up by the reservoir, so their water is good, and Wang Chen is not the first time to swim in the reservoir, so she didn't take it to heart and continued to fish here.
When talking about this, Wang Jin made a note in her profile that Wang Chen's swimming photo was taken that day. A picture of a strange stranger with a bright smile.
Looking at it like this, I always feel that Wang Chen in the photo is alive and staring at me. When I think about it like this, I can't help but feel fluffy in my heart. Of course, I know that I am frightening myself, because this is Master Liu. The residence of Sanqing is also dedicated to the statue of Sanqing, so why do ghosts come here to find death
Thinking about it like this, I felt a little funny, and even frightened myself, so I continued to read the material written by Wang Jin.
That day, shortly after Wang Chen waited for some boys to go swimming, the fish float on Wang Jin's side moved. She was excited and hurriedly pulled the fishing line up, but after pulling it up, she realized that what she had caught was not a fish, but a fish. It is a very worn sandal, and even the color is soaked and a little whitish.
Seeing the broken sandals caught, Wang Jinyou felt a little disgusted, took off the hook, threw it into the water, and then re-installed the bait to continue fishing.
After a while, another girl's fish float also moved. She pulled the fishing line and found that she was also fishing a sandal, so the girl laughed and complained to Wang Jin, saying that the broken sandals that Wang Jin threw in were caught again. She caught it.
In order not to let the sandal continue to be caught, this time they threw the sandal to the shore.
But after a while, another person caught a sandal. The next few people thought it was a bit strange. Everyone guessed that the boys who were swimming next door were making trouble and deliberately dived and hung them on the hook. , Otherwise, how can you catch shoes three times in a row
So they threw the shoe to the shore, and Wang Jin looked at it subconsciously. The two shoes happened to be the same pair, and they should also be the size of a child.
In order to verify their guesses, these fishermen went to the boys' swimming side to ask about the situation, but after asking them again in the past, they said they didn't do such a boring thing.
So a few girls guessed whether there were ghosts or something under the water.
But when the boys heard about it, they were also curious, so they swam along the shore one after another. They wanted to use the water to touch it underwater to see if there was anything.
What boys love most is to be brave in front of girls, and those boys are also good at self-sufficiency, and there are many people, so no one is afraid of anything.
Soon several boys dived into the water to salvage things. The water depth in that place was about a dozen meters, and few of them could really dive to the bottom. However, when they caught the sandals, the hook must not be too deep, so that The sandals are also floating in the middle, and these boys only need to dive to a depth of a few meters.
The boys struggled for about five or six minutes, and finally someone found something from the water, and this person was none other than Wang Jin's younger brother, Wang Chen. He found a tattered electronic watch, which he brought for children. kind of.
After finding this thing, Wang Chen threw the electronic watch on the shore, and then made a "V" gesture to the girls on the shore, which symbolized that he had won and won.
It was at this time that Wang Jin took a picture of his brother with the point-and-shoot camera in his hand.
But without waiting for Wang Chen's excitement to last for a few seconds, the mutation protruded, Wang Chen suddenly screamed in horror in the middle of the water, and then his hands kept thumping on the water surface, and his body quickly sank. Everyone was terrified, and several boys who were close to Wang Chen also rushed over to pull Wang Chen, but it was too late, Wang Chen didn't pounce a few times, and the entire top of his head disappeared on the water.
At this time, the girls on the shore were also dumbfounded, and screamed in horror. Wang Jin jumped into the water to save his younger brother, but unfortunately, although these people have good water skills, they are limited to the surface, and their diving skills It was a long way off, and no one could dive down to save Wang Chen.
These people tossed for more than ten minutes, and seeing that there was nothing they could do, they left a few people here, and the others ran back to the adults in the village.
The adults in the village also heard that people were drowned here, and they all rushed over, but those adults dived into the water for a long time to salvage, but they never found Wang Chen's body. Everyone said that Wang Chen was washed away by the water. .
Then the search continued for a few days, and there was no clue for one, so the Wang family had to give up, and Wang Jin was scolded and beaten by the family for taking his younger brother to play by the water. .
Wang Jin has always had a good relationship with his younger brother Wang Chen. In order to miss his younger brother, Wang Jin took out the photo of Wang Chen going into the water that day and took it with him all the time. I don't know why, but Wang Jin always dreamed that his younger brother came back to find him, and he was leading a little boy about ten years old with bare feet. The first thing the little boy saw when he saw Wang Jin was: "I sandals?"
Then Wang Chen said to Wang Jin, "Sister, give him the sandals, or he won't let me go."
Watching Wang Jin write this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and I suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing from behind. I looked back and found that there was no difference, and I was a little relieved.
As for the photo of Wang Chen smiling brightly, I don't want to see it anymore. This is a photo of him before his death. I always felt that it was a bit unlucky to put it in my room, so I stuffed the photo into a cowhide bag first. .
Next, there is nothing in Wang Jin's information, just some words that she thinks that his brother is really back, and asks Master Liu to help her and her brother.
It's a pity that she begged the wrong person. The person who is going to help her is not Master Liu, but me, Shi Yong!
