Fortunately, the fifth brother turned back and found out about my abnormality, otherwise I would have to replace Zhang Chunming and stay at the bottom of the river as a scapegoat!

Being dragged into the water by a water ghost with a pale body but black eyes, just thinking about this kind of thing makes the scalp numb and the hair stand on end!

"Fifth Brother, thank you for saving me! I was scared to death!" What I said was true. When Fifth Brother came to save me, the face of the water ghost was already close at hand. If Fifth Brother didn't come, I would Can't imagine what will happen next...

After Brother Wu rubbed one of my feet to warm it up, he rubbed the other one. "Blame me, I should have taken you with me when I left, and shouldn't have left you alone!" He blamed himself.

"Fifth brother, we have to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible, it's too scary, just drag him into the water!"

Fifth Brother nodded, and then said that he would go to his colleagues to inquire and see if there was any good solution.

I advised him to take off the wet clothes first, but he had to wait until my other foot was warmed up before taking off the clothes and putting them aside to dry.Then, he sat next to me in a pair of underwear and started rubbing my shins again.

I:"……"

I don't know why, but when his fiery palm was placed on my calf, I was a little embarrassed and always felt a little awkward.But Fifth Brother is also doing it for my own good, so I can't be ignorant of what's good or bad.So, I started chatting with him, trying to divert my attention.

He said that the main reason why the water ghost came to me was because I was low-tempered.

Thinking about it, the person who rescued the little girl just finished stabbing himself from the bottom of the water was fine, but before I stabbed myself, I was about to be caught as a substitute.It seems that my low anger physique is really popular with ghosts, no matter in water or on land.

Hey, since I can attract any ghost to appear like a magnetic field, how about... "Fifth brother, why don't I be the bait, and when the dead ghost appears, you will kill him..."

"No way!" Fifth Brother glared at me and flatly refused, "How dangerous? Thanks to you for thinking it out!"

As soon as he gets angry, my aura will instantly reduce to the minimum state, "Then what, I'll just talk about it casually."

Seeing that I didn't mention it anymore, he continued to rub my legs seriously.

After he rubbed both of my calves to heat up, he stretched his hand towards my thigh. I grabbed his wrist and said awkwardly: "I'll do the rest myself! I can do it myself here... ..."

He also seemed a little embarrassed when he heard it, coughed lightly, nodded, and sat quietly to the side, looking ahead and not knowing what he was thinking.

I started to rub my thighs, and for a moment I didn't know what to say, so I fell silent with him.

The sun was already in the west, and the mountain peaks were reflected in the water, full of greenery, but the water surface that was not covered by the shadow of the mountains was sparkling and golden.The breeze blew past, causing layers of ripples on the water surface, shattering the turquoise mountain shadow and the golden sunlight.

Fifth Brother took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Kai, if you really can't find a good solution, I'm afraid you really have to do it again..."

After thinking about it for so long, it is estimated that he really had no good way to say this to me, otherwise the matter he objected to a moment ago would not be brought up again now.

"It's okay, what do you say and how I do it!"

He looked back at me deeply and asked, "Aren't you afraid? Just trust me like that?"

I nodded at him, "With you here, I won't be afraid!"

He smiled, then withdrew his smile again, looked at me and said very seriously: "Thank you for trusting me, I won't let anything happen to you!"

He and I looked at each other with a smile, and our trust in each other was already tacit.

It wasn't until my wrists were sore that I rubbed my thighs to warm them up.I tried to move my legs, and sure enough, my legs have begun to work, but they are still a little stiff, and I am afraid it will take a while for them to recover.

Brother Wu said, "It's getting cold, let's go back."

After putting on the half-dried clothes, he came over and helped me up.When he was about to hug me again, I hurriedly stopped him, "I can walk, really, it's almost better..."

I, a young man, was hugged like this by another big man, and I felt ashamed when I thought about it.Thinking of the scene where he hugged me before, I was so embarrassed, how could I dare to do it again.

I said I could walk, but my legs were not very strong, and I was still a little unsteady.He had no choice but to hold my arms and help me walk up the river bit by bit.After finally returning to the car, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.This short distance, I walked quite strenuously. Fortunately, my legs will recover soon, otherwise... Forget it, it's better not to think about it.

Brother Wu collected all the things on the shore, and I sat in the back seat to get dressed, and he drove the car away from the river.

He took me to a traditional Chinese medicine store, I waited in the car, and he went down to buy some medicinal materials.Then we went to the market again, he bought some food, and we went home.

After dinner, I sat on the warm kang, while Brother Wu kept busy on the ground.Not to mention, it feels good to be taken care of.

He boiled some medicinal soup with a very bitter smell, put it in a washbasin and brought it to soak my feet.I obediently soaked my feet in the lukewarm medicinal soup, and a warmth instantly passed through my toes to all my limbs.

"Just soak until you're sweating, you know? Let me know when the water is cold, and I'll reheat it for you!" Fifth Brother urged from the side.

I nodded and soaked my feet comfortably.

When my head was covered with sweat and my legs fully recovered, I couldn't help but give Fifth Brother a thumbs-up, praising his method for its effectiveness.

He rubbed my head with a smile, and went to pour water for washing my feet.

I thought that my legs would be fine and I would be fine, but who would have thought that I suddenly developed a high fever in the middle of the night.In a daze, I have been having nightmares.In the dream, I was swimming happily in the water, and suddenly someone grabbed my ankle and pulled me down. Then, I saw Zhang Chunming's pale face and black eyes without whites...

"Fifth Brother! Help me!" I shouted subconsciously, and then, a warm hand grabbed mine, and a familiar voice came into my ears—"Xiao Kai, wake up! "

Wake up?I regained consciousness in an instant, and slowly opened my eyes. Fifth Brother's face appeared directly above me, just blocking the glare of the light for me.

"Having a nightmare?" He frowned and looked at me, then touched my forehead with his hand, and said, "I have a fever, just wait, I have medicine!"

After he finished speaking, he left my sight. The scene in the dream just now still made me nervous, so I grabbed his hand subconsciously, not wanting him to leave.He appeared in my line of sight again, touched my head lightly, and said, "I'm going to get the medicine, and I'll be right back."

His eyes are very gentle, with the power to calm people's hearts, I let go of his hand and let him go to get the medicine.

He took the medicine and water, lifted me up, and fed me.When I lay down again, I suddenly didn't feel sleepy.In the dark, he seemed to sense that I was not asleep, and asked me softly, "Can't sleep?"

"Ah."

"Just now, did you dream about what happened during the day?"

"Ah."

"Don't be afraid, we will get rid of him!"

"Ah."

"Go to sleep."

"Yeah." I closed my eyes and fell asleep at some point.

***

The next morning, my fever subsided, but my appetite was not very good.

Brother Wu said, my situation is already considered good. If an ordinary person suddenly sees a ghost and is attacked by a ghost, it is common for them to be in a coma for a week.

I know that the reason why I recover so quickly is thanks to Fifth Brother's care.Otherwise, just the high fever last night would torture me for a while.

Because of me, we didn't go to the river that day.The fifth brother arranged the affairs of the pharmacy to the store manager on the first day, so he stayed with me that day and didn't go anywhere, but made a few phone calls when he found time.From a few words, I deduced that he was calling his colleagues to ask how to get rid of the water ghost.

I guess, Brother Wu didn't want me to be a bait anymore, so he called his colleagues.You must know that their profession pays great attention to reputation, and asking others is equal to their own incompetence.Fortunately, none of his peers can give good advice, otherwise, wouldn't he be compared with Fifth Brother?However, Brother Wu was a little disappointed to see that he didn't find a good solution. I clearly saw him sigh secretly.

On the third day, the sky was still clear in the morning, but it began to rain lightly at noon.

After a day of recuperation, I'm almost better.During lunch, I hesitated for a long time before I said to Fifth Brother, "Fifth Brother, let's go to the riverside after dinner!"

He was taken aback and asked me: "It's raining outside, why go to the river?"

I put down my chopsticks, looked at him and said seriously: "I think this is a good time, there is no one by the river, so it is convenient for us to move."

"I haven't thought of a way yet..."

"I'll be the bait." I interrupted him, and continued: "It was agreed last time, and we've almost done the preparations. Let's start this afternoon!"

"No, it's too dangerous, and you're in good health!"

Seeing that he was about to stare at me again, I smiled at him, "Don't worry, with you here, I'm sure I'll be fine! I trust you, and I've almost recovered. We can't drag it on any longer, this is going to happen soon It's been a week, and if someone dies again, we both will definitely regret it!"

He frowned at me for a while, then sighed and nodded in agreement.

The two of us packed up and drove to the river.

The sky is drizzling and the temperature is still very high, presumably the water will not be too cold.There are almost no people by the river, which makes our actions a lot more concealed.

I took off my clothes and only wore a pair of swimming trunks. As soon as I stepped into the water, Brother Wu grabbed my arm. When I looked back at him, I saw him say solemnly, "Be careful!"

"Yeah." I nodded solemnly at him.

After adapting to the water temperature, I swam to the middle of the river.Swimming to the place where I fell into the water last time, I took a deep breath and sank.
