"No... you weren't bitten by a fish?" the man asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah." I nodded.

At this time, the whole room was filled with the smell of stinky feet. This way, the woman's feet felt less smelly. The woman could no longer struggle, and she no longer had the strength to curse. She lay on the bed and huffed and puffed.

'I was breathing heavily and scratching the five toes of my left foot. I squatted down.

He looked carefully at the mark on the sole of her foot. He saw that the mark was oval in shape, about the size of a wine bottle cap. It looked like something bitten by a fish. However, normally speaking, if it had been bitten a few days ago, it would have been there by now.

It should have scabbed over, but the mark was so new that it felt like it had just been bitten.

I reached out and pressed the mark, it was hard.

"Hey...oh, don't...don't scratch my soles..."

"How is it?" the man asked softly.

I stood up, bit my lip and shook my head.

"You can't tell exactly what the bite is, but it's not a fish."

"My wife goes crazy every day. Could it be related to being bitten on the foot by this thing?" the man asked.

"That's right, she got into trouble."

"Then do you have any way to cure her? If the trouble continues, all the chickens in my house will stop laying eggs..."

"I'll give it a try, but it's a pity that I don't have any magic weapon with me. I only have a few talismans on me."

"You can ask for whatever you need, as long as I have it in my store..."

I patted my forehead lightly and said to myself, yes, I forgot that this man runs a funeral supplies store. I ordered the man to bring a handful of incense and a piece of yellow paper. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a cinnabar pen, so I had to use

The pen was done for a moment. I wrote the woman's birthday and birth date on the yellow paper. Then, the man and I worked together to lift the bed and move it to the northeast corner of the room.

"Hey, you...where are you going to take me?" the woman shouted.

No one paid any attention to her.

After moving the bed, I folded the yellow paper with her birth date written on it and ordered Miss Bai to stuff it under her head. Then I took out the lighter, lit the incense, and blew a few puffs to make the incense burn brightly.

.

"Yuxin, hold her down and don't let her move."

It was as if there was a heavy fog in the room. Miss Bai endured the coughing and choking. After holding the woman firmly, I asked the man to hold his wife's left ankle. I pinched a Vajra finger with my left hand, recited the Vajra mantra silently, and aimed it at the woman.

After the mark on the sole of the woman's foot, she held the incense in her right hand and slowly leaned towards her foot...

When the incense was still more than half a foot away from the woman's feet, the woman's whole body was shocked as if she had been electrocuted. Then her strength increased greatly, and she twisted her body desperately. Miss Bai pressed hard. I shouted and pushed

The incense sticks on the soles of the woman's feet. With a sound of burning skin and flesh, the woman lets out a strange cry. I remove the incense, stamp it out with my foot, and then reach out to brush the ashes from the woman's soles.

.I saw that the mark had turned dark purple.

"It should be fine." I wiped the sweat from my forehead.

The woman's whole body was soaked with sweat. She lay on the bed with a pair of dead fish eyes and could only breathe. I took out the yellow paper from under her head and unfolded it. I saw a faint black thing on the paper.

It was like being smoked by black smoke. I reached out and pulled out a piece of the woman's hair, wrapped it in yellow paper, gave it to the man, and ordered him to dig a one-meter-deep hole in the northeast corner of the yard at night.

, find a small stone, tie the yellow paper on it and bury it in the pit.

This woman was bitten on her foot by something unclean, which caused the evil energy to invade her body and accumulate in her chest and neck, just like she had hyperthyroidism. She had a bad temper and a surly personality. The mark on the center of her foot is equivalent to the 'breath port' where evil energy invades her body. I

He put the incense against his breath and cast spells to force out the evil spirits, which were absorbed by the yellow paper with the birth date of the woman written on it. After burying the yellow paper in the soil, it didn't take long for the evil spirits to disperse into the soil.

The man insisted on rewarding us, but I only accepted him a handful of incense and two knives of paper. The man refused, saying that these things were not enough to repay us for spending so much effort in curing his wife, and insisted on giving us money.

"I don't need the money, brother, let me ask you about someone."

"Just ask...you mean, who buys paper from us?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

The man thought for a moment and said, "That man looks familiar to me. He should be from our town."

"From your town?"

"Anyway, I must have met him somewhere before. Our town is too big and there are a lot of outsiders. There are often people who come to my place to order paper work from home. They all look familiar to me, but

I can’t tell you the name…”

Judging from the physical characteristics of the man described by the owner of the funeral supplies store, he is not one of the tall and tall Gao Laosan father and son. According to this, the paper man in Gaojiacun was not made by the two fathers and sons, but by someone else?

That man lives in this town right now?…

"A Leng, where are we going next?" Miss Bai asked after coming out of the store.

I saw it was still early, so I thought for a while and said, let's go to the reservoir to have a look. This woman was bitten on the foot while fishing for fish in the reservoir and then got knocked out, which means there is something unclean in the reservoir.

We walked east along Qingshi Street and soon left the town. In front of us was a winding path with weeping willows on both sides. When the breeze blew, the willow branches swayed. We walked along the path for about four or five minutes.

, we came to the reservoir. The dam of the reservoir

It was also covered with willow trees. As soon as I boarded the embankment, I heard the roar of machinery. Looking around, I saw a row of water pumps on the embankment on the south bank. The long water pipes were like black pythons, flowing along the embankment.

It winds down along the embankment and reaches into the water.

At the water's edge, many people were walking around with their trousers rolled up, buckets and long chopping nets on their shoulders.

"Let's go down and have a look."

I pulled Miss Bai and went down to the water from a place with a not very steep slope.

"Uncle, can you catch any fish from this reservoir?" I asked a middle-aged man.

The man told us that the reservoir was originally used to store water for irrigation. After the water level dropped overnight, so many fish came from nowhere. It had been raining the past few days. People in the town generally thought it must be raining.

The fallen sky fish are not artificially bred, so you can catch them at will.

I nodded and looked into the bucket at the middle-aged man's feet. I saw four or five fish in it, with their gills opening and closing. Two of them were Yellow River carp, and the other three couldn't be named.

"It's strange." The man pointed to the distance, "There are so many pumps pumping water into the vegetable greenhouses for irrigation. They have been pumping for two days and two nights, and the water level in the reservoir has not dropped at all."

"Oh?" I frowned and looked at the water pump in the distance.

"Oh, there seems to be fish there..."

When I wanted to ask again, the man just picked up the net and the bucket and ran away, as if he had discovered a treasure and was afraid someone would snatch it from him.

"It's really strange. Where can there be so many fish in this reservoir?" Miss Bai said.

"It's weird, it's really weird..." I murmured, "The water level doesn't drop no matter how hard the water pump pumps. What does this mean? It means that external water is constantly being poured into the reservoir. Look at the fish in the man's bucket, they look like the Yellow River.

It grows in it. Could it be that...could it be said that this reservoir is connected to the Yellow River?!"

It is possible. From visual inspection, the water level of the reservoir and the water level of the Yellow River should be at the same level. Suddenly, my heart moved, thinking of the shocking scene we had in the Yellow River before, and the "that thing on the river bed" that Miss Bai said.

Cave'. I have always been very surprised. Since the hole has such a strong suction, it means that river water flows into the hole continuously. Since the river water enters the hole, then, then

It must not be a dead hole. I couldn't figure out where the hole leads to even if I tried hard before. I just heard the middle-aged man say it and look at the water pump in the distance. Could it be that the hole leads to the reservoir?

You know, in terms of straight-line distance, this reservoir is at least ten miles away from the place where Miss Bai and I fell into the water in the Yellow River. If the hole really leads to this reservoir, it would be incredible.

Miss Bai and I had the same idea. I couldn't help but think of the pond in front of Yang Shujun's house. That pond was connected to the well outside the village where evil spirits were raised...

"I understand." Miss Bai said.

"Understand what?" I was stunned.

"The fish in this reservoir are sucked in by the hole under the river bed."

"No." I pointed to the water pumps, "If the reason why water is continuously poured into the hole to make it suction is because the reservoir is pumping water, then it was only two days. Two days ago,

Without pumping water here, the water from the Yellow River would not enter the hole, and the hole would not suck the fish in. Didn’t you listen to what the person just said, there were fish when the reservoir water level just dropped..."

The water level of the reservoir dropped, indicating that its original water level was higher than the water level of the Yellow River. After it was connected to the Yellow River, the water poured into the Yellow River. Therefore, it was impossible to suck the fish in at that time. From this point of view, there is only one possibility, and that is

, the fish swam here on their own. I feel that there must be something in the reservoir. These fish are attracted by the things in the reservoir, so they swam over from the Yellow River...

I dragged Ms. Bai along the wet water's edge and looked at the water as I walked, and found nothing unusual.

"Come here quickly, there is one here!"

When we walked to a place, not far from us, a girl pointed at the water and shouted, and a boy ran over carrying a chopping net. It seemed that they were a couple. The boy turned the net pole,

The net bag at the front stood up and was suddenly cut into the water. When it came out of the water, a big fish was seen in the net bag, and it was shaking wildly inside.

The girl cheered loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Huh? Why is this fish so weird?"

After the boy pulled the net bag over, the girl shouted.

I looked over and saw that the fish was fat, had a pointed mouth, and the two fins in front were like two small fans.

"A Leng." Miss Bai gently pulled me.

"What's wrong?"

"This is the Yellow River Dolphin. I went to visit the Aquatic Life Museum with them at that time and saw specimens of this fish."

"Yellow river dolphin?"

"Well." Miss Bai said, "The number of wild yellow river dolphins is very small now. Just like wild animals such as wild boars, they are protected by the state..."

I nodded and thought to myself, there are actually Yellow River dolphins in this reservoir, which further proves that it is connected to the Yellow River.

I heard that a strange fish was caught, and many people came to see it.

"Oh, this is a dolphin fish. This fish is very valuable!" said an old man.

The girl's eyes shone with excitement, she jumped up and kissed the boy on the face, "Husband, you are awesome!"

The boy looked around triumphantly and poked the dolphin fish's mouth with a frivolous expression. After pouring the fish into the bucket, the two of them stood up to leave, but I stopped them.

"Wait a moment."

The boy was stunned and looked at me up and down, "What are you doing?"
