Fortunately, the river water did not become turbid again, and even the faint stench coming from the front of the river disappeared.
Everything seems to be back to normal.
Maybe the ghosts in the river have really disappeared.
But just when the village chief felt relieved, one night, something big happened in the village again.
The old man's other two sons fell into the water and died on the same night.
The bodies were still found the next morning, floating on the river, and no one knew how long they had been dead.
When they saw this scene, everyone's expressions became extremely terrified.
After all, a few days ago everyone thought everything was back to normal, but now two more lives have been lost, and it's still related to the river...
At this moment, everyone really realized that there was definitely something in the river.
And that thing was not destroyed by the ghost-suppressing talisman in front of him.
After taking care of the two brothers' funeral, the village chief issued an order, strictly forbidding anyone from going down to the river, let alone getting close to the river!
He didn't know what was in the river, nor did he know how many lives it would claim.
He only knew that if things continued like this, more trouble would happen to the villagers.
Some people also suspected that the things in the river only harmed the old man and his family.
After all, those who died one after another were old men and their sons.
Maybe the rest of them could be spared?
Although this possibility exists, the village chief will not allow anyone to go down to the river until the truth of the matter is revealed.
He can't take the risk, nor can he bear the responsibility.
But despite his repeated warnings, some people still refused to believe it.
Half a month passed, and it was the second summer. No one in the village had any accidents, and the river water looked as clear and harmless as before.
Then some people couldn't help it.
Thinking that the weather was hot and it would be too uncomfortable to carry water to take a shower at home, he simply carried the rest of the villagers on his back and went swimming in the river.
The man was actually a good swimmer, but he eventually drowned for unknown reasons.
Before he died, the man struggled desperately and shouted loudly, attracting people doing farm work not far away.
Seeing this, everyone wanted to save him, but they were concerned about the village chief's instructions and the previous accidents that had happened to the old man's family, so they did not dare to go into the river.
But they did not stand by and watch the drowning person die. Instead, they found branches and ropes, intending to let the drowning person grab them and pull him out.
But the branches were already in front of the man, and he couldn't grab them no matter what he did. He kept shouting that something was trying to grab him from below, and then his body kept sinking.
Finally, it sank and surfaced after a very long time.
When he surfaced, he was already dead.
This incident once again sounded the alarm for everyone in the village.
They realized that the things in the river did not seem to be targeting only the old man and his family. Anyone else who touched the water would also be attacked indiscriminately.
After the accident, the village chief was so worried that his hair almost fell out. He began to look for a master to help him deal with the things in the river.
Unfortunately, I consulted many masters, but none of them could completely solve this problem.
Some masters either had no idea what was happening in the river, or they saw something but were unable to solve it due to lack of strength.
The only master with the strongest power still shook his head and sighed, saying that the thing in the water was too powerful and he was no match for it.
However, although the master was unable to completely solve the problem of the things in the water, he gave the village chief and others a suggestion that could temporarily prevent them from being harmed.
At that time, after the master listened to the village chief and others' account of the entire incident, he counted with his fingers and deduced that the thing should have appeared on a certain day in the summer and had devoured many lives in a row, which showed that it had a deep resentment.
And the time when resentment is the deepest should be the time period when it first appears.
If the villagers want to live a more peaceful life, it is best to throw some sacrifices into the river when the resentment of each other is the strongest, so as to calm down some of the resentment of the other party.
No more accidents will happen during that time.
After the Spring Festival, the villagers strictly followed the master's instructions and threw some sacrifices into the river during that time period.
As for the other people in the village, they never went into the water again.
Dozens of days passed, and indeed no more accidents occurred in the village.
But due to the fear of past accidents, this habit continues.
