The soul-calling flag is the symbol of the ferryman.

Just like the gentlemen in the old society who must be cheered in front and behind to create a show when going out, this soul-calling flag is the showman's show.

Seeing the soul-calling flag is like seeing the ferryman.

Everyone has three disasters and five disasters, and corpses and monsters are no exception. When people are in trouble, they naturally ask for help from relatives and friends. But when those things are in trouble, the only way is to ferry them to the Yinren Inn by ferrying them with human heads.

It is said that some knowledgeable old demons and old ghosts, after seeing this soul-calling flag, have to come forward and bow three times, as a courtesy, and become familiar with each other. Some masters with beards and buttocks have to pick some old medicine from the mountains.

I offer wild fruits with both hands in the hope that when there are difficulties in the future, the ferryman will lend a hand in time.

Right now, this soul-calling flag is here as a silent provocation to us.

I really can't figure it out, where does this old guy get the confidence? Not long ago, he was so suppressed by my master that he couldn't lift his head. How could he become so confident in the blink of an eye?

"Jingzhe, let's go with my brother. Let's go in in the dark and give Ya a break, and then we'll dig a hole and bury him!"

Perhaps this was the reason why my master was holding back the battle here. Lao Bai was bursting with courage. He kept saying that the ferryman came to my door to collect debts from me. He was thinking about our courtesy officers. He wanted to avenge me and pulled me up without any explanation.

He walked towards the wooden house.

I was caught off guard by his sudden courage. I wanted to say that there was something strange in this matter. The corpse brought us here, but it itself ran away. This was obviously a trap. Maybe someone had already set it up.

I was on guard, so I quickly turned around and glanced at my master, only to see him standing with his hands behind his back, nodding silently at me. Only then did I feel more at ease, thinking that he probably wanted us to take the lead and find out what was going on.

With him taking care of me, I felt a lot more relieved.

The biting mountain wind poured into the small shabby house, and there were bursts of sounds like the wails of evil spirits, which was very shrill.

The house was very dilapidated, and there were many damaged wooden boards around it. Lao Bai and I looked around and then squatted down against the window edge, leaning on a two-finger-wide gap to look in.

The wooden house was empty and dilapidated. There was a lot of rubbish. There was even excrement in the corners. I don’t know which evil ghost came here for convenience. There was an unpleasant smell in the middle. There was a shrine in the middle, with a shrine standing on it.

A statue thirty to forty centimeters high, it is a man covered in animal skins with horns, holding a fork in one hand, a knife in the other, and a bow and arrow on his back.

That is the mountain god, and hunters in the mountains used to worship him.

Below the mountain god, there is a man with his back to us, curled up and sleeping on the ground. In this weather, he is wearing a thick cotton jacket, which makes him look very bloated.

I could tell at a glance that the person sleeping was the ferryman!

Really sleeping?

I looked at it carefully for a long time, but I didn't see anything special in the room.

Lao Bai was overjoyed and told me in a low voice that it must be the tuberculosis corpse that we chased like a rabbit running all over the mountain. He subconsciously ran this way, but forgot to inform the old guy, and sold the old guy alive.

I glanced at him sideways and thought to myself, you old charlatan, how did such a judgment come out of your head?

Lao Bai didn't care so much, he quietly touched the door, picked up a thin wooden stick from the ground, inserted it along the crack of the door, and pulled it up and down. Soon after, there was a "clang" sound inside the door.

It must have been that the door bolt was lifted, which startled me greatly. I stared at the ferryman for a long time, and then I felt relieved when I saw that he didn't move.

Crunch!

Lao Bai secretly opened the door and kept waving and winking at me.

"You fucking bastard, you asked me to clear mines in front of you again."

I cursed in a low voice, and finally I obediently slipped in through the crack in the door. I had no choice but to understand Lao Bai’s grandson very well. If I didn’t go in first today, his feet would have landed at the door and he would have been angry.

, it is impossible to move at all.

The ferryman was still sleeping, sleeping quite soundly. He turned a deaf ear to the sound of the wind, his body was rising and falling slightly, and his breathing was very even.

I tiptoed closer and stared condescendingly at the other person's dark face with deep wrinkles. After confirming that this was the ferryman, I immediately raised the Tianguan Blade high, but when the matter came to a close, I hesitated again.

I thought about my mother-in-law. She asked me to find this old man and beat him to death with a stick. What will happen to my mother-in-law? Besides, although this old man has bad intentions, in general,

He still showed some kindness to me. Without him, I might not have been able to survive that night.

Maybe my master is right, I do have a bit of a womanly heart, and I am not decisive enough in killing.

While he was thinking wildly, the old man in his sleep seemed to have noticed something. He smacked his mouth a few times, opened his eyelids, and when the corner of his eye glanced at me, there was a clear flash of light in his eyes.

However, this light was just a cold light in my eyes, and the surrounding environment seemed to be overflowing with murderous intent. When the opponent got up, his hand trembled, and the Tianguan Blade fell immediately.

"Bang!"

The stick hit the ferryman firmly on the forehead, causing him to sway back and forth, roll his eyes, and almost faint.

"Old man, do you still know me?"

Lao Bai yelled and rushed forward. His movements were quite swift. I just felt a black shadow flash before my eyes, and the ferryman was pinned under his butt. The poor old man was seventy or eighty years old and looked dry.

, Lao Bai was such a fat and plump person. He jumped three feet high and sat down. He almost crushed him to death. Only one head was left exposed. He kept humming "Ahhh" and rolled his eyes.

I can't even say a complete sentence when I translate it straight.

"Why are you still standing there? Let's start. When the old guy turns around, will you be able to reap the rewards?"

Lao Bai stopped drinking.

I was very nervous. When I heard him yelling, I subconsciously hit the ferryman's head with a stick again. This time the old man couldn't bear it any longer. His head tilted and there was no movement.

"Isn't he dead?"

My hands are still shaking. I know very well how hard these two sticks have been used. Two big bumps have appeared on the ferryman's head, just like horns, one on the left and one on the right, which is extremely symmetrical.

.

"If he dares to die, I dare to bury him!"

Lao Bai snorted coldly, stood up and tested the ferryman's breath, and said angrily: "The old man is really tough, he didn't even die like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he tilted his head and spat a mouthful of sticky phlegm onto the ferryman's face without me having time to stop him.

"I said, are you taking revenge on me?"

I spread my hands and said, "A scholar can't be killed and cannot be humiliated. He shouldn't be guilty of this. Do you think you have any grudge against him?"

"You're really right about that!"

Lao Bai said: "More than ten years ago, I had a chance encounter with this old guy in southern Anhui. At that time, my brother almost died on the roadside in order to get two treasures. In the end, he met this old guy and threw a pack of styptic powder on his face.

For me, life or death depends on my fate, and then he took away the treasure I had sacrificed my life for, leaving not a single hair for me, and said that it was his reward..."

At this time, my master and the others just walked in.

When Lao Bai saw my master coming, he immediately went to dig a hole and bury the ferryman alive.

"Tie them up first!"

My master did not agree. He looked deeply at the ferryman and said, "I happen to have a few things to ask him later. Let's spare his life for the time being."

After saying that, he took out a few pills from his arms and stuffed them into Zhang Xinya, asking Zhang Xinya to feed them to the ferryman. When Zhang Xinya walked up and took a look, the ferryman's face was covered with sticky phlegm, and he couldn't even open his mouth.

So he stuffed those pills into Lao Bai's hands viciously, saying that whoever had done the wrong would take care of it himself.

Lao Bai's face turned dark with depression. When he looked back at my master, he was too embarrassed to say anything else. He could only continue to shoot himself in the foot.

The old ferryman's life was very hard, even so hard that I was surprised. After taking a few pills, he woke up after a while.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lao Bai and me standing in front of him, shaking our heads and babbling, but his voice was hoarse and he couldn't hear a word clearly.

"No one will kill you indiscriminately."

My master sat opposite the old ferryman, waved to me and Lao Bai to get out of the way, and said calmly: "Please be patient for now, I have a few words to ask you."

The old ferryman finally calmed down and swallowed hard, but I saw that his mouth was very dry and he didn't spit at all, so I took some mineral water left over from the kite brother's afternoon drink and handed it to him.

The old ferryman trembled and drank some water, and his condition improved a lot.

Who would have imagined that the ferryman who was so famous in the past would now say the first thing he said when he opened his mouth: "Is there anything to eat? For those who stutter..."
