"Daughter by the kappa?" I frowned, and then asked, "Did anyone see it?"
"The man who went down the river with him... saw..."
People living near the river beach have heard a lot of rumors about the big river. Those rumors dare not say that they are all false, but they dare not say that they are all true.
The kappa in folklore is actually a child who died in the river. These children were young when they died, and they didn't know whether they were good or evil. They didn't deliberately harm people, they were just naughty. But Kappa is naughty, dragging people into the river will kill people.
Regarding the legend of kappa, I have asked the master before, and the master said that most of them are false rumours. At least he has been drifting in the river for half his life and has never seen a kappa.
I suspect that this woman's husband fell into the water due to other accidents, and the people who were travelling with him panicked and talked nonsense. I looked up at the sky, and there was only the last afterglow of the setting sun. Generally speaking, we corpse collectors rarely go down to the river to find joy at night, but looking at the woman's pitiful appearance, my heart softened.
"You just wait here." I stepped across the shallow water, jumped onto the four sheep boat, and said to the woman: "I'm looking around. If I can see your man, I will bring him back."
"He... Is he still alive..."
"No one can tell about this." I sighed secretly, and a person was washed down more than ten miles by the smooth water. If it weren't for the kind of water-powered person, it would be hard to be spared. But I didn't want to speak out bluntly, so I made a few perfunctory sentences.
The woman in a floral jacket was holding her baby and waiting on the shore. I took advantage of the opportunity of the sun before it completely set, and drove the four sheep boat back to the river. According to my experience and judgment, the man who fell into the water had already been taken downstream at this time. I could only go to the bend where the water flow was slower in front to see if the body would stay there.
When collecting corpses, the boat can’t go too fast, otherwise clues will be missed. I drove the boat slowly for about four or five miles, and the tattered little bronze bell hanging on the bow suddenly buzzed. Rang.
I have been studying art with my master for so long, and I haven't really paid much attention to the small bronze bell on the Four Rams. When this little bronze bell suddenly rang by itself, I felt that something was wrong.
The sky is dizzy, and I can't tell what's wrong for the time being. I turned my head and looked around, and suddenly, I saw a small group of shadows, who had just climbed onto the Four Sheep Boat quietly from the water.
For a while, I didn’t see what that little shadow was.
Consciously grabbed a boat next to him, and ran across it. The little shadow was drenched all over, but it could not be more flexible, flashed slightly, and then flashed aside, lying on the side of the ship, staring at me firmly.
At this moment, my scalp was numb, and my mind was full of incredible. I saw that this group of little shadows turned out to be the child in the arms of the woman who asked me to go down to the river to collect the corpse!
How is this going
My mind was dizzy and I couldn't turn around. The child looked as though he was only three or four years old, but he walked flat on the river, turned on top of the boat, and dodged the boat poles, without any lag in his movements.
Oops!
My mind got confused for a while, and then a thought flashed through. If something is abnormal, it will be a demon. Today's incident is definitely not the right way!
"This bronze bell on your ship is a soul-fixing bell for Jinzhong. I am not mistaken. You are indeed the descendant of Jinzhong and Fu Qiandeng's apprentice."
Just as I watched nervously at the child lying on the side of the ship, there was a cold voice from the stern of the ship. After the voice penetrated my ears, I immediately distinguished it. It was the voice of the woman in the floral jacket.
Huh! ! !
Before the sound completely disappeared, the woman whizzed over onto the boat from the stern. Like the child on the ship's side, she was soaked all over her body and stood firmly on the boat. The woman stretched out her hand to wipe off the water stains on her face and smiled at me.
"Who are you!?" I'm absolutely sure, today is a terrible thing, this woman is very good at acting, pretending to be pitiful, lied to me to go down the river, just think about it with her heels, she must have no good intentions.
It is a pity that I have too little experience to distinguish these spooky means.
"Brother, why do you have eyebrows and eyebrows?" After the woman wiped off the water stains on her face, she sat down on the boat and took off her coat, rolled it up and wrung it dry, and said to me while twisting her clothes. : "You ask who I am, and I won't hide it from you. Have you ever heard of the Hua family in Dahekou?"
As soon as I heard the Su family in Dahekou, my head went big and I felt dizzy.
I'm not a sloppy who ran the river beach and mixed the rivers and lakes, but I have heard about the rivers and lakes on the big river beach. There are many big wealthy families in the river beach, and the Hua family in Dahekou is the family with the most stories among them.
This family has been the chief woman for many years. I don't know if it is caused by Feng Shui in the family or there are other reasons. The descendants of the Hua family are all women. Every few years, the Hua family would recruit several son-in-laws to come to the house. After these son-in-laws stepped in, they couldn't do anything. They simply succeeded the generations on behalf of the Hua family.
Similarly, every few years, the Hua family will reach their age in the family
I’ve heard that a long time ago, Hua’s daughters were usually married to a relatively close place, and they were basically married to the right family. The girl from the Hua family is well-known, good-looking, good-looking, talkative, good at doing things, and very flattering.
However, the girls of the Hua family have one thing in common, that is, Kef. Married to her husband's family for two or three years, the husband will die, no matter how good his health is, no matter how good his family is, he has never avoided it. Over time, the rumors of Kefu, a woman from the Hua family, gradually spread. The local family clan in the river beach looked like a tiger in the Hua family and did not dare to marry him. Later, when the Hua family remarried a girl, they had to marry a long distance away, but they still maintained the tradition of Kef.
When the husband dies, the daughter-in-law of the Hua family will basically bring a family property back to Dahetan. In the huge Hua family, half of the children are widows. Therefore, when people in the river beach talk about the Hua family secretly, they will call the flower widow.
The water of the Hua family is particularly good, and that kind of goodness is innate. Some people say that the Hua family is the reincarnation of carp essence. Every family in the Hua family has fish gills, and they can spend time under the water without breathing.
I only feel that the calf is a little weak. I have heard a lot of rumors about the Hua family, but it is true or false, no one can tell. It is precisely because of this that the entire Hua family is shrouded in a veil of mystery. It is difficult for outsiders to see the details.
But there is one thing, no one will deny that the widows of the Hua family are difficult to deal with. Although they are only a group of female generations, many people with beards will walk around when they meet the Hua family.
"The Hua family in Dahekou, I've heard of it." My calf is weak, but I can't show it. If I cringe and frighten now, it would be equivalent to being held tightly in my hand by the other party without any initiative at all. , I force myself to be calm, hold the boat in my hand tightly, and take a peek at a harpoon behind me, and say: "We fished the corpses, and didn't have much contact with the Hua family."
"Brother, look at what you said." Widow Flower wrung out her coat and shook her hands. She raised her eyes to look at me and said: "Everyone is in the big river beach. It's just a family. I haven't had any contact before. , Now you come and go, isn't it all right?"
"It's dark already, I have to take the boat."
"Brother, don't rush to take the boat. You didn't see it. My whole body is covered with water. To take the boat, I have to wait for me to wring out my clothes." The flower widow is not ashamed at all. After drying the coat, he took off the coat and wrung water.
"what are you doing!?"
"The clothes are wet and uncomfortable. Twist the water." The flower widow wore a bellyband, twisted the water of the clothes, raised her head and flirted with a wink, and said, "Brother, how old are you? Yes. Not married?"
