Mr. Thaumaturgy

Chapter 104
The more I looked down, the quietness returned to the river in front of me.

Suddenly the boat started to move, and I was taken aback for a moment, then turned to Lao Kang and said, "Didn't I tell you not to move?"

Lao Kang was a little silly, spread his hands, and said seriously: "I didn't move at all, the boat moved by itself."

I felt something was wrong, so I walked quickly towards the bow of the boat. The big black dog followed me closely.

"Brother, there is a lot of movement under this boat, do you want to come over and take a look." Boss Huang pointed to the bottom of the boat and said.

I walked over quickly and came to the place Boss Huang had said. I lay down and put my ear on the board of the boat, and I heard the sound of "bang bang bang".

It sounded as if someone was raising their hand and beating the bottom of the boat vigorously, and the sound was getting louder and louder. This movement seemed to pierce a hole in the bottom of the boat.

"This boat is a wooden boat. If a big hole is poked out, the few of us will sink." Lao Qin asked nervously.

"I'll jump into the river to have a look." I said seriously.

"Brother Ding, you can't do it. If you jump into the river, if you are drowned by that water ghost, it will be difficult." Boss Huang said.

Instead of responding to Boss Huang, I turned to Lao Kang and said, "Can the boat go down?"

"I tried but it didn't work." Lao Kang shook his head.

I opened the backpack, took out the ink fountain thread from inside, poured the chicken blood into the ink fountain and stirred vigorously, then flicked a few ink fountain threads against the ship board.

A few talismans were pasted on the boat, and I said, "What about now?"

Lao Kang said, "I'll give it a try, rowed vigorously, and said in surprise: "Okay, the boat can move."

I breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lao Kang to row the boat back. I came to check it today. If I really want to go into the water, I will obviously be at a disadvantage.

The water ghosts in the river have a great advantage, and I can suffocate to death for about 3 minutes at most. After this time, I may drown to death.

All the way to the river, I took a flashlight and shone towards the river, everything was calm.

Although the light of a strong flashlight is strong, it consumes too much power. You need to prepare a large lamp, and then prepare a submersible that can jump into the water.

The most important thing is the talisman. After the talisman is soaked in water, its effect will be greatly reduced, and the black dog blood cannot be used.

"I have to find a way to lure the water ghost ashore, otherwise it would be really dangerous to fight her in the water." I said while pinching my chin.

"It's hard to attract, water ghosts usually soak in the water." Boss Huang said.

"So I have to find a way. If it doesn't work, I can only go into the water and beat her." I said
After parking the boat, we walked towards the village.

There is no moon today. If you really want to solve the water ghost, you have to choose the weather. You can come down during the day to have a look. It would be best if you can solve it during the day.

But I knew in my heart that this idea was not realistic.

"You said that if I pretend to be a person bathing in the river, will it attract the water ghost? I heard Huang Ye said before that this water ghost seems to hate men." I said softly.

"This method should work, but you have to try it during the day. It would be too dangerous to try it tonight." Boss Huang said.

I hummed lightly, but I didn't dare to take my own life as a joke.

Following Boss Huang and the others back to the rented two-story building, there were many workers sitting outside blowing the night breeze, and there were voices of talking and laughing from time to time.

I've seen these workers in old man Huang's house before.

Boss Huang is a conscientious boss. They don't work these days, and they still pay wages as usual.

Seeing Boss Huang coming over with us, he greeted us a few times.

"Boss Huang, has the water ghost been solved? Let's start working now." The foreman asked.

"That's so easy to solve. It will take a few days to start work. You should eat and sleep well these few days, and you will be paid." Boss Huang patted the foreman on the shoulder and said.

I glanced at these workers and said to Boss Huang, "Didn't I say before that some workers were held back by water ghosts? Can I meet those workers?"

Boss Huang nodded and said: "It's simple, Lao Gui Lao Xiong, come here, Brother Ding wants to ask you some questions."

After Boss Huang yelled a few times, the window on the second floor opened, and two men in their 30s poked their heads out of the window.

Hastily said that it was coming, and the two went downstairs.

The other workers were also curious about this matter. Except for these two workers, no one else had been greeted by the water ghost.

"Think about what happened in those days and tell me." I said seriously.

"Old Gui, tell me." Boss Huang said.

The worker named Laogui started talking, and after I finished speaking, I understood in my heart

It was just that when he was going down the river, he was dragged by the water ghost. Fortunately, there were many people. Hearing his cry for help, several workers rushed down the river immediately, and Lao Gui was rescued.

"After many people went down the river, the strength to grab my ankle disappeared, and I was rescued." Lao Gui said.

I asked Lao Gui if he had seen the face of the water ghost. Lao Gui shook his head and said: "Zhu Lin"
At the beginning, he didn't know it was a water ghost, and thought he was entangled in some grass. Later, he heard from people in the village and recalled the feeling of being caught, and vaguely felt that it was caught by human hands. It is not entangled with grass.

Speaking of this matter, Lao Gui showed a look of fear on his face, saying that if there were no such workers, his life would be in danger.

The other worker said the same thing as Lao Gui, and they were all caught going down the river.

When asked about the face of the water ghost, they all shook their heads and said that they didn't know.

I thought so too, after all, I was caught, and my whole body sank down, and I must be panicking in my heart.

"Okay, you guys go to bed early." After I asked clearly, I said to these people.

"Brother Ding, I have prepared a room for you." Boss Huang said, letting Lao Qin lead me

Walk towards the room.

I walked into the room, and the quilts were all new.

"This dog?" Lao Qin looked at the big black dog following me and asked me if I wanted to drive the dog out of the room.

I shook my head and said, "Let it stay here, you go back and rest."

"Okay, Brother Na Ding, go to bed early." Lao Qin nodded, and when he walked out of the room, he closed the door.

I released the red umbrella from my backpack, and just as Qin Juan flew out of the red umbrella, the big black dog lying on the ground immediately barked at Qin Juan.

As the saying goes, a dog sees yin and yang, and the big black dog can see Qin Juan.

Seeing the fierce big black dog, Qin Juan screamed in fright, and quickly flew into the umbrella.

"This is one of our own, don't bark." I yelled at the big black dog.

The big black dog whined twice, as if understanding what I said, and lay down on the ground, its two eyes fixed on the umbrella.
