The live broadcast starts on time at 7pm.
[I'm here on time again. I'm the first one to enter the live broadcast room today. Master, please praise me.]
Through the master's live broadcast, I felt enlightened. Now I have started to teach myself fortune-telling. I believe that in the near future, there will be another great master in the world.
[I feel like time is passing incredibly slowly since I can't watch the Master's live stream. Can the Master start the live stream sooner?]
【I agree with the above suggestion.】
Su Yan watched the people on the barrage making jokes and announced her plan: "Since everyone is so looking forward to it, starting tomorrow the live broadcast time will be adjusted to 3 pm."
Her words made the audience in the live broadcast room very happy, and they kept giving her gifts.
"Congratulations, Meow Meow, for qualifying to connect."
After the video was connected, a petite girl appeared on the other side. She looked at Su Yan as if she saw the last glimmer of hope: "Master, can you save my grandfather?"
"Don't be impatient, take your time and send me a private message of your grandfather's current photo."
Su Yan looked at the old man in the photo. His face was pale, his forehead was surrounded by black air, and one of his seven souls was missing. It was obvious that he had been taken away by something.
"Did something bad happen to your grandfather? Tell me everything you know."
"Yesterday my grandfather went to the market with the villagers. On the way back, his car suddenly broke down."
The two were chatting side by side when Huang Zongyu felt the car suddenly sink. He pushed forward with all his strength, and the car made a sound of friction with the ground. "Lao Wang, my tire seems to have been punctured."
Wang Yuming looked at the car and saw that the rear tire was indeed flat. "What the hell, they threw the broken bottle on the road?"
The car was so broken and the place was far from the market, so the two of them discussed and decided to let Wang Yuming ride his bike back to the village to get tools to repair the car.
After Lao Wang left, Huang Zongyu pushed the car to the shade of a tree to rest: "The weather is really comfortable now."
Accompanied by the gentle cool breeze, Huang Zongyu fell asleep leaning against a tree stump. Half asleep and half awake, he heard the noise of children not far away.
"Come and catch me!"
"You fell down, idiot!"
"Wow, there are so many fish in this river. I want to catch some and take them back for my mom to make me something delicious."
Huang Zongyu walked towards the voice out of curiosity. The scene in front of him made his heart tremble. Two children who were not even as tall as his waist were running around in the shallow water of the river, and another child who wanted to catch fish was heading towards the center of the river.
Seeing that the child was about to be drowned by the river, he anxiously shouted: "Child, don't go in anymore, come back soon."
The child who was catching fish heard his words and turned to smile at him: "Grandpa, it's okay, I learned a little swimming, don't worry."
Huang Zongyu was so anxious that he was sweating: "Child, come up, grandpa will help you catch it."
"Really?" The little boy stopped.
"Of course it's true. I'm so old, how can I lie to a child like you?"
The child finally believed him and ran to his friend happily: "Grandpa on the shore said he would help me catch fish, let's go find him."
Just like that, the three children happily ran to him and pulled him towards the place where they were catching fish: "Grandpa, I just saw a big fish there. Let's go catch it."
"Okay, okay, I'll go catch it for you. Go slowly and don't fall."
Where he couldn't see, the child holding him had a wicked smile on his face: "I have finally waited for this day."
Wang Yuming drove over with his men, but only saw Lao Huang's car. "Didn't we agree to wait here? Where did Lao Huang go?"
"Lao Wang, is that him in the river?" Lao Zhang's voice trembled a little. The scene in front of him reminded him of some things that happened ten years ago.
"Old Huang, come up quickly!" The two soon found something wrong. Old Huang seemed not to hear their voices. He kept walking towards the center of the river and even bent down to talk to the air around him.
Now they were sure that Lao Huang had encountered something unclean, and they were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat: "It's okay, I remember the old man said that water ghosts only dare to bully people who are alone. If we go together, they won't dare to do anything."
After cheering each other up, the two walked hand in hand to the riverside. When they were about to get close to Huang Zongyu, they felt a sinister look beside him. They pretended not to see it and stepped forward to hold him back: "Old Huang, it's time to go home."
Old Huang stood there in a daze, and it took him a while to react. "You're here. I was helping these kids catch fish. I don't know how their parents raised them, letting them play by the water. When I find out who their parents are, I'll definitely give them a good lecture."
After he finished speaking, he wanted to take the children ashore, but when he looked down, he found no other children besides the three of them. “I clearly saw three children by the river just now.”
He looked at the river water that was already above his waist, and suddenly realized how there could be children in this place full of fields. His face turned pale as he looked at the two people who came to rescue him.
The three of them looked at each other, said nothing, turned around and ran towards the shore, got on the tricycle and drove towards home.
They ran to the village temple in one breath: "Master, we seem to have encountered a water ghost just now."
The master took a look at Huang Zongyu, and indeed there were signs of being corroded by Yin Qi on his body. "Since you have escaped, it's no big deal. Go back and take this talisman paper and water together. Stay indoors and shut yourself off for the next three days. Don't see outsiders."
“Thank you, Master!”
After returning home, Huang Zongyu told his family what happened today and asked them to lock the doors and windows for the next few days.
[It seems this old man really encountered a water ghost. If the person who came to pick him up had arrived a step later, he would have been seduced by the water ghost.]
But why did the water ghost use such a clumsy method to lure him? Couldn't he just pull him into the water?
I've heard from the village elders that when a water ghost looks for a replacement, they look for someone who is willing to go into the water.
[I remember there was an old lady in our area who walked into the river while washing clothes. When she was finally pulled out, her legs were covered with purple scratches.]
After listening to her story, Su Yan asked, "Did something happen last night?"
Huang Zihan nodded and said, "After we learned about this, our family was very scared. In order to prevent any accidents in the middle of the night, we asked my uncle and grandfather to sleep together, and even went to the neighbors to pick up two dogs.
So, there was no movement for the first half of the night, just after our family relaxed and fell asleep.”
"Grandpa, didn't you say you would help me catch fish? Why are you leaving before we even catch any fish?"
Huang Zongyu heard someone talking in his ear while he was sleeping. He opened his eyes and saw the little boy in the daytime, whose body was abnormally swollen and pale under the moonlight.
