Mr. Thaumaturgy

Chapter 102 The Big Black Dog

The old man Huang personally introduced my identity to everyone. These villagers knew that I came for the water ghost, and they clapped their hands in welcome.

These villagers are warm-hearted people, and they all came to toast. If Boss Huang hadn't told them that I might have something else to do, and that drinking was a mistake, or I would have been drunk tonight.

After finishing the meal, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon. I suggested to Boss Huang that we go to the river first to see what was going on.

I have seen fierce ghosts and evil ghosts, but I have never seen this water ghost, and I don't know if it looks like the image in the movie.

I asked Boss Huang if he knew about water ghosts. Boss Huang said that he had heard it when he was young, and that no one in the village allowed children to go near the river. When he grew up, he went to study in the city and rarely had contact with them to the river.

As soon as he heard that I was going to the river, the village chief, Old Man Huang, insisted on following me. I persuaded him to let him drink with the people in the village, but he waved it off. He was very stubborn and couldn't persuade me for a while, so I had to let him follow me.

The little grandson was worried that the old man Huang also followed, Lao Qin put down the wine jar, and the five of us walked towards the river.

"Master Huang, what's the situation with this river? Can you tell me?"

, asked the old man Huang.

The old man Huang thought for a while and sighed. Judging from his expression, this river also has a history.

"This incident still has to start more than 70 years ago. A girl who sang in a big opera jumped into this river and died. I was eight years old at that time." Huang said.

"Hey, that girl is also a hard-working person. She follows a troupe, and the troupe goes to some villages to sing big plays. Every time they go, they can get a few rewards for food. Some people have happy events, and they will invite the troupe over. .”

I listened carefully. After the old man Huang talked for a while, he paused for a while, picked up the old pipe, started to light the dry tobacco, took a puff and continued.

"This incident has happened for many years. The reason why I remember it clearly is because this incident was quite a big one. People in the village ran to the river to watch it."

"My second uncle even jumped into the water to save her. Who knew that the girl didn't appreciate it. She got out of the bank and turned around and jumped down again. The second uncle was exhausted after saving her once. He didn't even dare to save her a second time. I just watched her jump into the river and die." The old man shook his head and said.

"Master Qi, you never told me about this." Boss Huang said softly.

Hearing Boss Huang's words, Old Man Huang laughed: "It's been a long time, and I haven't mentioned it to my son. Besides, you never asked. How could I know that you would be interested in such old things."

I thought for a while and asked, "Master Huang, do you know why this girl jumped into the river?"

"I didn't know it at first, but later I learned about it from some adults, especially when I was a child, I walked across this suspension bridge and saw her, and this incident took root in my heart. I will never forget it." The old man Huang said.

Boss Huang looked a little shocked. He didn't expect that Old Man Huang had seen the water ghost.I was very curious in my heart, so I continued to ask Old Man Huang about the female ghost.

"Master Huang, you haven't said why this girl jumped into the river." I asked.

"At the beginning, no one knew why the girl jumped into the river, until two days later, the man from the same troupe suddenly disappeared, and the people in the village helped to find it, and finally found the man's body floating on the river bank behind the village. "

"There were deep marks on her neck. I soon heard from a theater troupe that the girl was raped by a man. She couldn't think about it and jumped into the river to die. She became a water ghost and took the man away." Huang The old man said.

I pondered for a while, the woman must have resentment, she jumped into the river and became a water ghost.

But if you think about it carefully, if the water ghost wants to reincarnate, it will find a dead ghost to replace it. As long as it pulls a living person to become a water ghost, the girl should be reincarnated.

I told the old man Huang about this, and the old man waved his hands vigorously, saying that the girl hadn't been reincarnated at all, and he saw that the girl was already the fifth day after the man died when he was young
"By the way, it's okay for women to go to the river to take a bath, but it's just for men, and children will have trouble as long as they are men." Huang old man said to me.

Generally speaking, girls seldom take a bath in this kind of river, and they all wash at home.But the old man Huang said that all those who died in the river were men, not a single woman.

"I understand." I said to Old Man Huang.

After finishing speaking, I thought of something, and asked Lao Qin: "Old Qin, when I was in the car, didn't I tell you to buy a big black dog, you will not forget this matter right?"

"I haven't forgotten. I called my friend to buy it while I was driving, but the dog was very vicious and was locked up." Lao Qin said.

I said yes, and asked Lao Qin to bring me this dog quickly, and now I want to use it.

Lao Qin asked me to wait, and immediately turned around and ran behind.

After waiting for a few minutes, Lao Qin ran back. Behind Lao Qin was a strong man pulling a black dog.

When I got close, I took a flashlight and shone on the black dog. I clicked my tongue twice, thinking that this dog is really big.

The dog was as high as his thigh. If it could stand, it would be about 1.3 meters. It was desperately trying to break free from the big iron chain.

"How is this dog?" Lao Qin said softly.

If it weren't for the strong man pulling it, the dog might have bitten us directly.

"Not bad." I nodded.

"This dog cost more than 2 yuan to buy. It's very fierce. If you don't invite its owner to come over, no one will dare to pull the iron chain." Lao Qin said.

"Leave it to me." I walked towards the strong man.

The strong man looked at my thin skin and tender flesh, and he didn't dare to hand me the big iron chain. If he pounced on me, he would bite me and a piece of meat would be bitten off.

"Brother, this is not a joke. Let him come. I'll leave it to you. If you can't hold it, not only you, but we will all be finished." Lao Qin said worriedly.

"How do you talk?" Boss Huang glared at Lao Qin.

Looking at their uneasy expressions, I knew it in my heart, and said with a smile: "It's okay, leave it to me."

I thought to myself that I can even deal with a living corpse, but I can't deal with a dog?

"Really!" The brawny man asked worriedly.

"To the little master!" In the end, the old man Huang said firmly.

After getting Boss Huang's nod, the strong man handed over the iron chain.

Just when the iron chain was handed over, the big black dog suddenly came towards me and bit me
Seeing this, I snorted coldly as a beast, pulled up the iron chain, and kicked the big black dog.
