I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Her parents were anxious to seek medical treatment everywhere, but fortunately they met a wandering Taoist priest who cured her.

Not long after, I heard that my father was looking for a maid, so he sent Yu'er over.

My father saw that she was pretty cute and smart, so he agreed."

Hearing these words, Gu Ming finally understood the reason, no wonder the girl's expression changed when she heard ghosts and ghosts.

This is a lingering shadow in my heart.

When Yu'er came over with breakfast, Gu Ming said softly: "Yu'er, I will promise not to scare you in the future. Also, with my uncle here, you don't have to be afraid of any monsters."

"Yeah, thank you, uncle!"

Yu'er smiled openly, as if she had already forgotten the previous unhappiness.

After breakfast, the three of them left the small courtyard, went shopping in the street first, and then walked to the ferry.

Although the robbing of children has not yet started, many people can't wait to gather here and wait to watch the fun.

Especially some young daughter-in-laws gathered together in twos and threes to whisper and laugh out loud from time to time.

For them, it was a visual feast.

When the time comes, there will be two or three hundred strong men going into the water with bare arms, and there will be a competition of strength in the water.

According to the traditional rules of snatching the boy, no matter who grabs the boy, he must hold it up first, and shout three times that the boy has arrived, and the incense will be passed on.

As soon as he finished yelling, others stepped forward to snatch it.

In order to keep the boy from being snatched away, the best way is naturally to cooperate with others, such as throwing the boy out of the encirclement.

This is a bit like a multiplayer sports competition. With the strength of one person, it is almost impossible to bring the boy to the shore smoothly.

Many people must cooperate.

Another point is that water is better.

Because the river is relatively deep and the current is fast, if the water quality is not good, let alone snatching children, self-protection is probably enough.

"I'm coming"

After a while, some little daughter-in-law screamed, and the flow of people suddenly became commotion.

Not far away, more than a dozen men walked towards the river with bare upper arms and bronzed skin.

Then, another group came from another direction.

Almost all of these men are a group of several or even more than a dozen people, and after earning the reward silver, everyone divides it equally.

noon.

All the personnel were present, and the local gentry representatives spoke a few words first, and announced the official start of the annual March [-] Boys' Meeting.

At the same time, on a boat in the middle of the river, a boy sacrifice ceremony was also being carried out simultaneously.

After the representative of the squire made an announcement, the boy was thrown into the water.

"grab!"

Already waiting by the water's edge, the hungry and thirsty men jumped into the water one after another, struggling to swim towards the boy who was drifting along the water.

For a moment, the water flowed violently.

Screams came and went.

The most hard-working ones are naturally those little daughter-in-laws.

Compared with the ladies and wives in the city, they are much wilder.

However, this can be regarded as an active atmosphere, and some tourists from other places also booed.

Not long after, a brawny man who was as tanned as a black loach grabbed the boy first, and immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Boy is here, pass the incense!"

At this time, other people are not allowed to rob, and must wait for the other party to finish shouting three times.

As soon as he finished shouting, the surrounding area was like a fishing net that had just been stretched, densely packed with figures and water waves, the boy didn't know where he was snatched away.

However, the more fierce the robbing, the more enjoyable the people on the shore were watching, and one by one began to shout and cheer

Ask for votes, please ask for votes, please raise your hands and vote

Chapter 71 What a big... crayfish!

As time passed, the snatching in the river intensified.

Seeing that someone snatched the boy and was about to reach the shore, he was hacked and sent flying.

"Hahaha, I finally got the boy."

A man who fell at the end was overjoyed and roared out of his mind.

Isn't this looking for a beating?

All of a sudden, the water splashed in all directions, and a group of men swam past viciously like tiger sharks.

The scene was chaotic again.

However, the more chaotic the shore, the louder the voice.

There are even young daughter-in-laws who wish to tear a few pairs of trousers to look good.

Overall, the scene is somewhat violent.

In order to grab the boy and get the reward, the men did their best, even at the expense of their hands.

Every year, people are injured because of it.

"When the boy arrives, the incense is passed on! The boy arrives, and the incense is passed on"

Another lucky man snatched the boy, and immediately held the boy high and yelled.

The other men watched around and waited for an opportunity to snatch it.

Unexpectedly, the accident happened suddenly.

Just after the third recitation, the man suddenly exclaimed, and he and the boy sank instantly.

"Dog X, want to dive and run!"

"Stop him, don't let him break the rules."

At the moment, all the men were furious and dived to search for each other.

All of a sudden, there was no figure on the surface of the water, only the waves were stirring.

After a while.

A wisp of blood suddenly surged to the surface.

Afterwards, several men also emerged from the water, with terrified expressions on their faces, and swam desperately to the shore.

"Monsters, there are monsters"

what's the situation?

The people on the shore didn't react for a while.

The next moment, more heads came out of the water, some yelled, some seemed to have cramps in fright, and kept waving their hands to call for help, while some swam towards the shore at an alarming speed

As a result, the people on the shore finally regained their senses and retreated in fright.

With so many people in chaos, many people were pushed, stepped on, and even fell to the ground.

The scene was chaotic.

Among all the people, Gu Ming's reaction was the fastest. When the others were still stunned, he hastily pulled Nie Xiaoqian and Yu'er aside.

By the time the crowd became chaotic, the three of them had retreated to the edge.

Before Gu Ming could catch his breath, a task prompt popped up in his mind.

Click on the taskbar to see:

Special task: destroy the troubled water monster

Reward: 40 points

Sure enough, there really are monsters!

Gu Ming frowned, subconsciously glanced at the river.

At this time, strands of blood, spray, and bubbles appeared on the water from time to time.

It seems that many diving men have been poisoned.

"Xiaoqian, Yu'er, hurry up, stay away from the river, and watch out for monsters coming ashore."

"Ok!"

Nie Xiaoqian turned pale and subconsciously nodded.

But Yu'er looked dumbfounded, as if she had lost her soul again.

"quick!"

Gu Ming hugged Yu'er up, and at the same time took Nie Xiaoqian's hand away from the shore.

Then he said solemnly: "Xiaoqian, you stay here, and if you find that something is wrong, quickly take Yu'er to the town."

"Huh? You're not with us?"

"I want to go down to the river to catch monsters!" Gu Ming let out a sigh of relief.

"No, it's dangerous, don't go!"

Nie Xiaoqian held Gu Ming's sleeve with a pleading look on her face.

"Xiaoqian, listen to me, you don't have to worry, I'm just going to have a look, and you know I'm not an ordinary person."

"But"

"Be obedient, wait for me on the shore, I will definitely come back."

After finishing speaking, Gu Ming gently pulled her hand away, and walked retrogradely with a gesture of no hesitation.

All were on the run, but he was the only one striding toward the water's edge.

"Young man, you don't want to die, run away!"

A kind elder sister drank while running.

"Haha, nothing!"

While speaking, Gu Ming had a thought, and a writing brush appeared in his hand.

Looking at the turbulent river, his face was calm.

In terms of water quality, he is really not good, he can only barely swim.

But fortunately, he was upgraded again today, and there seemed to be a sense of majesty in his chest, and he was full of confidence.

"The highest goodness is like water, and water is good for all things without fighting for it!"

As he swung his brush, Lang Lang's voice echoed above the river.

The amazing thing is that the words written in the air this time are faintly visible, as if condensed by fog, and linger for a long time.

"Grandpa, he, he"

Yu'er finally came back to her senses, but lost her mind for a moment, raised her hand and pointed at Gu Ming with a dazed expression.

Not only her, including Nie Xiaoqian, and some people who dared to look back, were all stunned.

Because at this time, Gu Ming walked on the water, as if an invisible bridge had been built on the river.

Like the legendary Treading Xue Wuhen, Lingbo Weidu.

Slowly walking until the middle of the river, Gu Ming shouted loudly: "Where is the evildoer, quickly show up and die!"

As soon as the drinking sound fell, the brush stroked heavily

"boom!"

It was as if a giant blade had been slashed across the surface of the river, and a crack about two or three feet long appeared immediately, causing huge water waves.

"Oh my god, he must be an immortal master!"
