"Aunt Cui, are you sure you're talking about me? Can I deal with ghosts?"
Chen Dong, who was standing next to him and was the uncle who stopped the students from rescuing people in the afternoon, said in a firm tone after hearing this.
"Yes, it's you! It was you who pulled that person out of the river with that brittle bamboo pole this afternoon!"
Xu Jing still didn't understand.
She was the one who pulled the person up, but she didn't do it alone. There were many students behind her pulling her up together.
Without everyone's help, she probably wouldn't be able to handle it on her own.
Thinking of this, Xu Jing hurriedly explained the situation at that time and did not take all the credit on herself alone.
Moreover, even if she really put in most of the effort to pull the man out of the water, how does that have anything to do with her ability to deal with ghosts?
As she was thinking, Xu Jing suddenly remembered something and quickly glanced at Lin Xi.
This morning Lin Xicai said he found gray gas in the river. Could it be that it was caused by ghosts in the river?
And the villagers seemed to know that there was a ghost in the river.
So after discovering that Xu Jing successfully rescued the person with a bamboo pole, I thought she must have some skills in dealing with ghosts that allowed her to successfully rescue people.
Unfortunately, they guessed right about this point, but they got the subject wrong.
It's not her who can deal with ghosts, it's Lin Xi.
Lin Xi obviously realized this. She did not take any action for the time being and gave Xu Jing a look that told her to stay calm and not move forward.
Since the villagers want to find someone to help, they should at least tell the truth first and see what the situation is before making a decision.
Seeing that Xu Jing didn't say anything, the oldest man among the group finally couldn't hold back and spoke.
He said to Xu Jing.
"Master, this matter is really important to our village. If it is convenient for you, please help us."
Being called "Master" in front of Lin Xi, Xu Jing was completely stunned.
At this moment, she didn't feel happy at all. Instead, she felt like she was calling herself king in front of a monkey, and she was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.
She was about to cry but had no tears: "I'm really not a master, you've got the wrong person!"
Seeing that Xu Jing didn't look like she was lying, Chen Dong and the others began to hesitate.
Could it be that they were overthinking it, and that Xu Jing's ability to resist the things in the water and pull the boy out of the water was really just a coincidence?
But the next second, I heard Xu Jing say.
"Although I'm not a master, I know real masters. If you really need help, you can tell me the situation first."
This matter has troubled the entire village for decades. Almost every year at this time, the villagers become panic-stricken.
They urgently need someone to help them solve this problem, preferably a complete solution, not like now, when waves still surge in the river every time this period of time comes.
Since Xu Jing said that she knew a real master, and her previous behavior had left a great shock in the hearts of Shen Dong and others, they did not hesitate any longer and quickly said to Xu Jing.
"Then let's talk to the village office."
Having said that, one of the old men turned around first and planned to take Xu Jingdian to the village office.
This is a big event in the village. Although they believe Xu Jing, there are other people present. It is definitely not convenient to "air the family's dirty laundry in public."
Xu Jing could understand it, nodded, and directly pulled Lin Xi to follow.
Seeing that Xu Jing had brought Lin Xi along, Chen Dong and the others all frowned. Just as they were about to persuade Lin Xi to stay, Xu Jing finally lost her patience.
"She's the master I know. If you want to ask a master for help, she must be there!"
At this point, Lin Xi naturally would not hide his identity anymore.
He nodded in agreement with Xu Jing's words and said.
"She was able to rescue people with just a bamboo pole. There must be another reason. She must have cast a spell on the bamboo pole for me in advance."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Dong and others widened their eyes.
Several people looked at Xu Jing on the left and then at Lin Xi.
I have to say, after Lin Xi explained the situation, looking at the two of them again, it seems that Lin Xi indeed looks more like a master.
Although they don't know whether it's true or not, now that things have come to this, no matter who the real master is, they are willing to give it a try!
After arriving at the village office, several people closed the office door and began to tell stories about the river.
…
Decades ago, the river in the village was indeed as Lin Xi had guessed when he first saw it yesterday. All the water in the village came from this river.
But one day, an eighty-year-old man in the village suddenly fell into the river and drowned.
Ever since the old man drowned, something has been wrong with the river.
