Chapter 27
The bedroom is extremely quiet. Jiang Gu's face is on his side. Jiaotu and lion dragon are still sleeping on the pillow on his left side, and they are not awakened.
He went down barefoot, and the wooden floor was silent. He opened the curtain a little, and the silver moonlight outside rushed down.
The bay window of the master bedroom is facing the direction of Qingyang lake. When you look down from the top, you can see the dark lake shining in the moonlight. The whole Qingyang Lake presents an irregular polygon. Further north of the lake is Xunyang lake. Further north, Xunyang Lake flows into the Yangtze River.
Jiang Jiu searched around the room, but he didn't find the smell of it again. The sound of the water and the cold fragrance just now seemed to be just an illusory dream.
But the whole person is like a floating hair in the water. The touch across the naked and exposed skin is very real. Jiang didn't think it was just a dream.
He half narrowed his eyes and looked unhappy. I didn't expect that he didn't take the initiative to look for that thing, but it came to his trouble first.
He wrote down something he didn't know, and then went back to sleep.
After that, I had a good night's sleep.
The next day was Sunday. Jiang Jiu wanted to go to Qingyang Lake Park again, but Uncle Yao's leg injury was healed. He invited him to eat at home. Jiang Shu had to go to the park in the afternoon. In the morning, he took his brothers to the park to eat.
Yao Xiaohei and uncle Yao went out to buy the dishes early in the morning. When Jiang Gu passed by, they were gathering together in the living room to pick vegetables. The bird cage on the balcony was open. The starling, who he had bought from the pet market and now pretended to replace "Da Hei", was singing on top of Xiao Hei's head.
A "school song" was sung out of tune by it. Uncle Yao laughed and scolded while picking vegetables: "the guests are coming, stop singing, prick your ears!"
Starling of course can't understand. It's full of energy. When it sees a stranger, it sings more vigorously.
Mr. Yao looked disgusted and said with a smile, "is Xiao Jiang here? Is this your brother? The brothers are so alike! The old bird, who has not recited poems recently, sings every day and makes a lot of noise. "
Then he got up to wipe his hands, went to the refrigerator and took a drink, and handed it to them: "sit and drink first, watch TV for a while, and the food will soon be cooked."
Yao Xiaohei raised his head and said, "go to the kitchen, sir. I'll take care of the dishes."
Uncle Yao gave a "Hey", wiped his hands, put on his apron and went into the kitchen.
"You get along well with Uncle Yao," Jiang said
The old and the young look like real grandchildren.
Yao Xiaohei was happy: "uncle is very good to me."
Jiang Jiu moved a small bench and sat down to help him pick vegetables together. He asked Yao Xiaohei about his work.
After Yao Xiaohei got his ID card back from the demon Management Bureau, he borrowed money from Uncle Yao, bought an electric car, and applied to become a take away rider. It's only two or three days since I officially started work. He is not a full-time rider at present, so he is relatively free in time. Because Uncle Yao wanted to invite Jiang Jiu to dinner, he didn't go out to take orders this morning.
Although the take away rider worked hard, Yao Xiaohei was very contented, and his life was much better than when he practiced alone in the mountains.
And he also has his own plan. He is going to apply for a special rider after uncle Yao goes to the hospital for the last review. At that time, his income will be higher. He will repay the money he borrowed from Uncle first, and then save the money for a rainy day.
Uncle Yao is not young, but also suffering from cancer, which has been a knot in his heart. Although he didn't say it, he kept thinking about it in his heart.
He will not break his promise if he says that he will give uncle Yao his life.
Seeing that he looked forward to the future on his face, Jiang Jiu couldn't help but smile. He glanced at the myna on his head and said, "don't you see anything from Uncle Yao?"
Although it's a bit of a cover up, the appearance can muddle through, but this starling sings out of tune every day, so it's not very good to see Yazi.
Xiao Hei chuckled and said in a low voice, "I didn't see it. A few days later, this song was always on TV at home, and Da Hei learned it. I thought it was boring to recite poetry. Let's get a new one."
....
After picking vegetables, they sent them to the kitchen to fry for uncle Yao. Uncle Yao lives alone and often cooks by himself. He is very quick. Now there are two more people fighting. He moves faster. Soon five dishes and one soup are served on the table.
The old man was in high spirits and opened a bottle of red wine given by others.
Red wine is not intoxicating, Jiang Jiu mixed sprite to Jiaotu poured a small cup. Lion dragon is sitting on his leg, ginger greedy eat, give him a feed.
After a meal, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves. Jiang Jiu's face was just a little red, and Jiaotu was dizzy.
After Jiang Jiu helped to clean up the dishes, she saw Jiaotu sitting on the sofa, rubbing the lion dragon in her arms, still laughing, not knowing what she was laughing at. Lion dragon paralyzed belly, face of life can not love.
Uncle Yao came out with the fruit and looked at Jiaotu. He was so happy: "Oh! Is that drunk? "
Jiang Jiu quickly came forward to rescue the lion dragon. He rubbed Jiaotu's head and said, "home."
Jiaotu stupidly "Oh" a, obediently stand up, eyes straight at Jiang Jiu, as if waiting for his next instruction.
In this way, he showed uncle Yao joy, packed a bag of fruit, took yoghurt and stuffed it into Jiang GUI, muttering: "let him drink jiejiejiu Jin, go back to sleep again..."
Jiang Shu eats and takes his drunken brother home.
As soon as Jiaotu came home, she changed back to her original shape. He didn't even come to the aquarium, so he fell drunk on the sofa.
Half of the body exposed shell dyed light pink, big black eyes closed, eyelashes with breathing slightly tremble. Lion dragon tickles him with the tip of his tail. If Jiaotu feels it, he grunts twice and shrinks in the shell.
Jiang Jiu picked him up and put him in the room. He told lion dragon to look at him: "you stay at home, I'll go out."
He was still thinking about the thing he had seen in Qingyang lake, trying to find out what the other party was. Since the other party dares to come to the door so openly, he always has to give the other party some color to see, otherwise he really thinks that he is a bullying soft persimmon.
Jiang Jiu is not very happy to think that they all saw something yesterday, and that thing came to him in the evening. Maybe they will go to find Jiaotu or lion dragon today.
Although he is confident that the other party can't hurt his brother, Jiaotu is so timid. What if he is scared?
He's got to get that thing out.
Jiang Jiu carries a bag on his back, instructs the lion dragon to take good care of Jiaotu, and goes straight out to Qingyang Lake Park.
On weekends, the flow of people in the park is not small, but Jiang Jiu only picks up the path, and the more he goes, the fewer people he meets. First, he walks around the lake, but he doesn't find any trace of it. He found a remote place, put the mobile phone debris in his bag, took off his coat, and quietly dived into the water.
Although Taotie is no better at controlling water than Jiaotu, he is also a dragon. He has lived in the Dragon Palace for a long time, so the water quality is not bad. He dived into the water flexibly and began to explore everywhere.
Qingyang lake is well managed and protected, with clean and clear water and high visibility. This greatly facilitates Jiang's search.
He started looking north from the jiukong bridge where Jiaotu met that thing yesterday.
There are many undercurrents at the bottom of the lake, as well as various aquatic animals and plants. Fearing that he might be aware of his breath, Jiang Jiu kept his breath in check. He was very fast, but it took him an hour or two to find the north side of Qingyang lake. Further on, he was going to Xunyang lake.
There are many lakes and waterways in Jiangcheng. He can't search them all one by one, so he is ready to turn back from the other side. In this way, if you can't find the other party, you can only wait for the other party to come to him.
Jiang Jiu turns around and is about to leave. However, he is acutely aware that in the direction of Xuyang lake, several strands of long black hair are scattered, and a white shadow is quietly coming to his position.
The other side is also a master of hiding breath.
And very cautious.
Jiang Shu pretended not to find it, but still kept the previous speed to turn back.
He felt it following him. As he moved forward, he wondered what it was.
Although it is in the form of a woman, it is obviously not a "human". In that case, it is more like some kind of monster.
Just still can't see what it is.
Just as he pondered, it was clear that he had not found himself. He quickened his pace and got closer to him.
The water of the lake fluctuates soundlessly, and Jiang Jiu seems to be unaware of it.
Strands of black hair scattered in the water and gradually surrounded him. The light shadow above blocked the light from the water. Jiang Jiu felt something floating on his back.
It's the touch of the skin. It's cold, smooth and cold.
Jiang Jiu's smooth movement pauses for a moment, then turns his neck rigidly, facing the woman lying on his back.
There is no white eyes of the dark eyes blinking at him, half is carrion, half is gorgeous. The long black hair with feet like water grass swayed along the water waves and gradually closed to him
Jiang Jiu's eyes widened and his pupils widened. He seemed to be frightened by this scene.
The other side seemed to like the expression of his fear. It was closer to him, almost touching the tip of his nose. The long waving hair was still closing, almost forming a cocoon to wrap him inside.
Jiang Jiu looks at the face of the other party close at hand, and suddenly smiles.
He made a gesture to the other side: got you.
Then, taking advantage of the gap that it didn't react well, he quickly grasped its long hair. This hair is very long, but it's just convenient for him to move. He took the long hair as a rope and wrapped it around his neck for several times, trying to strangle his neck so that he could not get rid of it.
I just didn't expect that one of my hands didn't hold it, so I twisted the head off directly.
????
Jiang Jiu opened his eyes wide and looked at his head in his hand. He thought it was too crisp?
The expression of the head he held in his hand suddenly became extremely vicious. It opened its mouth and showed a row of serrated teeth. The hair behind its head danced like a water snake.
Jiang Jiu immediately lifted his head, turned it around, pressed it on the protruding rock at the bottom of the lake, and blocked his mouth.
The dancing long hair stagnated, and soon became more manic. The clear water of the lake was filled with black liquid, and the water at the bottom of the lake suddenly became strange.
In the shaking wave light, Jiang's figure is slightly twisted, and his action is also abrupt.
In this instant stagnant gap, it suddenly broke away the shackles of Jiang Jiu and returned to the body.
Jiang Jiu was about to chase him, but he found that his body had passed through the shadow of the opponent. His body dissipated like a wave of water. The next second, he appeared farther away.
Magic?
Jiang Jiu doubts for a moment, and immediately catches up with him. He can't tell him to run away with the prize money he gets!
But this thing is obviously very familiar with this water area, two around three around, soon got rid of Jiang Jiu, disappeared.
Jiang Jiu was so angry that he let the bonus go.
But the man had lost him, so he had to turn back unhappily.
***
Ying Qiao has made five or six calls to Jiang Jiu, but none of them has answered.
Chen Hua said: "is it outside, I didn't hear it?"
They were in Qingyang Lake Park at this time. They came here when they heard that there was another accident on this side of Qingyang Lake today. As it happens, Jiang Shu also lives nearby, so Ying Qiao calls Jiang Shu and is ready to take him to work with him.
Who knows how many times in a row no one answered.
"I'll try another one."
Ying Qiao screwed his eyebrows and went to the jiukong bridge. He dialed another phone and went out.
In the handset, you are familiar with the ringing tone. At the same time, there is another cheerful ringing tone.
Ying Qiao moves his mobile phone away from his ear and looks at the rock making the sound. He strode past and saw the familiar backpack hidden behind the stone.
He was thinking about how the little monster's backpack was here when he heard the sound of water beside him. Jiang Jiu suddenly came out of the water and looked at him on the bank.
Ying Qiao's eyes stagnated on his white skin, and then he asked, "what are you doing?"
After a long time, he recovered his voice and said calmly, "catch a water ghost. I saw a water ghost in the river yesterday."
There was a sense of guilt in his voice.
Of course, that thing is not a water ghost, but he can't tell Ying Qiao that I'm a brave thief. If something doesn't know what it is comes to trouble me, I'll knock on the other party's door! Not only knocked off its teeth, but also twisted off its head, just too careless to let it run away.
This is not what a goblin should do.
Ying Qiao frowned and looked stern. But he didn't say anything. He took his bag and found the towel and clean clothes.
His lips broke into a straight line: "come up first, put on your clothes."
Jiang Shu: "Oh."
He is still guilty, so obediently climb up, wipe the water, and then put on the dry clothes.
Ying Qiao is here, and he doesn't dare to use any small magic. He's afraid that he might accidentally expose his flaws. After changing his clothes, he can only wipe his wet hair with a towel.
"I'll do it."
Ying Qiao took the towel in his hand, his fingers shuttled between his hair, and soon dried the water.
The soft hair fluffy again, the speechless goblin appears more clever and harmless. Ying Qiao saw that he hung his head and didn't speak. His heart softened first.
The goblin should have known it was wrong.
He softened his tone and said in a warm voice, "you shouldn't go down by yourself. It's too dangerous."
Jiang Jiu's performance is very realistic, muttering in a low voice: "it's just a water ghost."
"How can you be sure it's a water devil?"
Ying Qiao denied his statement and asked, "first, what does the water ghost look like?"
Jiang Jiu described the appearance of the thing, and then asked naively, "what can it be if it's not a water ghost?"
Ying Qiao sighed and deeply felt that it was not easy to be a parent.
He pointed to Chen Hua: "do you know what my boss and I are doing here?"
Jiang Jiu shook his head: "I don't know."
Ying Qiao said: "just a few days ago, there were several young men missing in the area of Xunyang lake. The bodies were finally picked up at the bottom of the lake, and only the skeleton had been eaten. This morning, the boss received news that Qingyang lake had picked up another body that had been eaten. "
Because the body was found in a remote place, it did not attract public attention. The identity of the body was soon confirmed. The police found that he had been to Qingyang lake park yesterday morning and nearly drowned. He was rescued and sent to the hospital.
No one knows how he left the hospital and sank to Qingyang lake.
"That's why the boss brought me here to explore."
Jiang Gu gave a short "ah", not afraid, but said: "I was there when the man fell into the water yesterday, and then I met the water ghost when I left."
With this expression, Ying Qiao didn't know whether to say that he was bold or that he was fearless.
He had no choice but to say, "it's not a water ghost, it's a forbidden woman."
The forbidden woman was originally a monster in the area of Nanhai province. The fishing industry in Nanhai province is developed, and many fishermen often travel to and from the sea. But the sea is unpredictable, and it is often the case that fishermen who go to sea can't come back. The bones of fishermen who died at sea sank to the bottom of the sea, and no one converged. They were gathered together by the undercurrent, which gradually bred resentment.
Resentment leads to big fish that eat carrion. These fish eat carrion, but they also eat the resentment of the dead. For so long, these big fish have become monsters.
There is not enough and stable supply of decaying corpses on the bottom of the sea. When the fish have no food, they begin to hunt for living people.
They are good at magic. They can turn into beautiful women and hunt living people, or not just living people. They eat all the living things, people or animals, or even demons that they can hunt.
The more Aura there is in flesh and blood, the more they salivate.
Many ordinary people or little demons with insufficient cultivation are easily confused. They think they have met the beautiful mermaid. In fact, it is the Luocha who eats their flesh and blood. When they reacted, it was already the mother-in-law's food.
That's why Ying Qiao is angry at Jiang Jiu's audacity. This time, there are more than one forbidden woman in inland rivers and lakes. If a small monster meets her, she may not be able to fight.
"Isn't the forbidden woman in the sea? How did you get inland? "
Jiang Jiu thought it was a magic trick. Next time we meet again, we should be careful not to let it run away again.
On his face, he pretended to be afraid: "I thought it was a water ghost. I met it at the bottom of the lake just now. But I found that I couldn't fight and ran away. "
Ying Qiao didn't know what to say.
Can twist eyebrow to repeat a way: "don't be so reckless again next time."
Jiang Shu nodded.
Ying Qiao eased his expression: "the boss is in charge of this case now. Since you have met the forbidden woman, you are with us."
Jiang Jiu was thinking about the bonus and ran away. Now he was happy again and nodded quickly: "good."
After that, he realized that Chen Hua was the one who made the decision, and quickly looked to Chen Hua to confirm.
"Is that ok?"
With Ying Qiao's X-ray eyes, Chen Hua said with a fake smile, "of course."
Dare I say no?
*
Knowing that it was the forbidden woman, Jiang Jiu explained the process of meeting her from yesterday to today. Of course, he ignored the part of beating her.
Ying Qiao's face darkened when he said that her mother-in-law seemed to have visited him at night.
Jiang Jiu didn't notice his face. He thought to himself: "the forbidden woman is still a fish, isn't she? Can I go ashore? "
Chen Hua said, "No. So they are good at magic, whether it's beauty or fragrance, it's part of magic. The hapless ghost found today is probably confused. Baba ran out of the hospital at night to meet the beauty by the lake. As a result, there were only bones left for each other. "
Jiang said thoughtfully, "that young man was rescued and sent to the hospital, but he still didn't escape. Does it mean that they are selective in hunting?"
Whether it's appearance or meat quality, or whatever the reason, there must be a choice.
And once the forbidden woman takes a fancy to them, the other party will definitely try to eat them.
Jiang Jiu's eyes brightened: "that forbidden woman didn't catch me today. Maybe she will come again."
After all, he twisted off the other side's head. This kind of monster has a simple mind. Generally, he will be very vengeful, right?
Chen Hua looked at Ying Qiao's dark face and said with a dry smile, "so you can't rush into the water any more."
Then he took out a magic weapon and gave it to him: "if you take this with you, the magic of the forbidden woman will not help you."
Jiang Jiu waved his hand: "I'm so sorry."
"It's OK. You can just take the worthless little thing." Chen Hua has a fake smile on his face and just gives things to Jiang Shu.
I thought that I didn't pay for it anyway,
Chen Hua takes a peek at Ying Qiao and has already figured out what price to write when reimbursement.
After exchanging the information they knew, the three confirmed that most of the forbidden women were in Xunyang lake and Qingyang lake at present.
Both Qingyang lake and Xunyang lake are large lakes in Jiangcheng. They are adjacent to each other, with tributaries extending in all directions. Xunyang Lake flows directly into the Yangtze River and finally into the East China Sea.
It can not be said that these forbidden women came to Jiangcheng only when they went upstream from the Yangtze River.
But the rivers of Jiangcheng are crisscross, and the forbidden women are good at hiding. It's really hard to find them.
"It's better to take the initiative than to wait passively," Jiang suggested. Why don't I make bait and catch it. "
Without thinking about it, Chen Hua vetoed: "no way!"
Seeing Jiang's astonishment, he said, "I mean it's too risky. Although it's important to arrest these forbidden women, the safety of grass-roots comrades should also be guaranteed. I can't risk your safety."
He said, glancing at Ying Qiao's expression and deliberating: "but Xiao Ying is a snake clan. He is good at water. Why don't you let him look in the lake first? Maybe he can find a trace, Xiao Ying, don't you think?"
The last sentence he said was looking at Ying Qiao.
If the goblin doesn't go, it has to go to someone. Of course, it's only Yinglong who is like a mountain of father's love!
Chen Hua looked at his calm face, but he nodded in the end. He was so happy.
It's really addictive to ask the boss to work.
