Uncle Bai was lying quietly on the deck. He hadn't woken up yet. He didn't see what happened just now. If he woke up, he would definitely think that Li Jun was the female murderer.
After Li Jun washed his hands, his mood finally calmed down, and he glanced at Gouda lightly.
"Whether Uncle Bai misunderstood me or resented me, I, Li Jun, never care about what others think. I only do what I think is right."
While at the fish market, Li Jun discovered that Bai Xiuzhu was just a walking corpse.
Li Jun remained calm at the time, but when Bai Xiuzhu suggested that Uncle Yu take Li Jun fishing, he did not refuse, but agreed.
because.
He wanted to catch the ghost who killed Bai Xiuzhu.
Bai Xiuzhu actually doesn't like Li Jun. She only has sympathy and pity for Li Jun, but she is a beautiful and kind woman after all.
Li Junyuan still has an admiration for Bai Xiuzhu.
Li Jun avenged Bai Xiuzhu, on the one hand to repay his past kindness, and on the other hand to explain his original identity.
Bai Xiuzhu's body rotted, and the air was filled with a faint smell of water, which was the water ghost's residual thoughts and concrete memories.
Her name is Chen Chuntao.
The daughter of a tenant farmer in Anping County is very poor. Her family relies on renting a few acres of paddy fields from the landlord. Most of the millet they work hard to harvest has to be paid for in rent, and they don't have enough to eat in good years.
one year.
Her family's land was hit by an insect infestation, and most of the grain production in the field was reduced. However, the landlord did not reduce the rent at all. He had no money to pay the rent, so he used his daughter to repay the rent.
The parents of the Chen family had no choice but to drag the whole family with them to escape rent and became poor refugees.
The family wandered to the Weishui River.
Encountered water bandits.
The water bandits brutally murdered her parents and relatives, tied her to the boat, held her down, and slowly tortured her one after another in the most cruel way.
She can neither live nor die.
Three days later.
Chen Chuntao was dying, but the bandits still didn't let her live. They simply tied heavy stones on her body and sank into the river.
After Chen Chuntao's death.
Filled with resentment, and by chance, he turned into a water ghost.
One time, Bai Xiuzhu was washing her feet by the river and was accidentally pulled into the water by a water ghost. After the water ghost ate up Bai Xiuzhu, it still wanted to eat more people.
He simply separated out a ray of resentment and parasitized it in Bai Xiuzhu's body, disguised himself as a human, sneaked into Anping County, and waited for the opportunity to find food.
It likes to eat men with strong yang energy, and Ma Zhuang and Donkey were the first to be attacked by it.
Li Jun fell into deep thought.
By accepting the residual memories of the water ghost, Li Jun figured out many things.
1: Ghosts and the people they were alive are two different entities.
For example, in the water ghost's regrets, the water ghost was once very close to the water bandit who killed Chen Chuntao, but the water ghost did not cause any trouble to the bandit.
Just keep a respectful distance.
2: The world of ghosts is also very hierarchical and oppressive.
In their world, ghosts and monsters possessing the divine status of the underworld are aloof and enslave all ghosts.
The water ghost is just the lowest wild ghost in the Wei River. In order to survive, it does not dare to show up easily and spends most of its time hiding in the cracks of rocks.
Sometimes they hide in mud and aquatic plants.
Big ghosts will eat little ghosts, and ghosts with divine status will treat them as food and slaves.
3: Humans and ghosts are natural enemies.
In the residual memory of the water ghost, it wants to eat people all the time. No matter how much fish, shrimp, water and grass it eats, it is still hungry in its belly.
The desire of ghosts for human flesh and blood is engraved in their instincts, just like humans naturally eat chickens, ducks and pork.
If humans don’t eat meat, they will lack nutrients.
If ghosts don't eat humans, they will also become weak.
Li Jun slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were extremely determined.
Hu Mingsheng was right, the world was indeed more cruel and complex than he imagined.
It's so sad to be born as a human being but to be at the bottom of the food chain.
The saddest thing is that all living beings are still confused and ignorant.
Ghosts can change people's memories and feelings at will, and humans can't even realize that they are food.
Suddenly.
Li Jun's back felt numb.
How true are his memories?
Kirin blood can allow him to recall memories within three days. Was his memory touched by anyone three days ago?
By the way, the female ghost Linglong once touched his memory, and Li Jun noticed it at the time.
So, are there still false memories that Li Jun is not aware of?
Looking up at the sky, the sky was so dark that Li Jun couldn't breathe. If even the memories are fake, how real is the world?
Li Jun couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He searched for a while on the boat and soon found a sack, which he was about to put Bai Xiuzhu's rotting body into.
Then, a translucent smoke-like thing emerged from Bai Xiuzhu's corpse.
Li Jun was stunned.
If you look closely, there is a pure white figure in the smoke, and the eyebrows are vaguely white embroidered beads.
"Sister Xiuzhu, is that you?"
When the pure white figure heard Li Jun's voice, he turned his head curiously, frowning slightly, his expression full of confusion.
Li Jun's eyes were moist.
There was a faint sadness lingering in his heart, which lingered. Li Jun had always been a rational person, and he didn't know why he suddenly became emotional?
The pure white figure tilted his head and thought for a while, but didn't seem to remember anything?
At this time.
Li Jun suddenly felt his shoulders heavy.
Turning his head, he met a pair of round eyes, and his dog-sized paws were placed on Li Jun's shoulders.
"Don't look at it. Look at your squinting look. It's not a white embroidered bead, and it doesn't have the memory of a white embroidered bead. Let me eat it!"
The dog licked his tongue, showed greedy eyes, and stared directly at the pure white figure.
"Shut up, even if there is no memory of Bai Xiuzhu, she is still my sister Xiuzhu."
Li Jun stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the pure white figure, but the figure backed away in fear and kept shaking his head.
Suddenly, the pure white figure floated resolutely towards the sky and slowly dissipated.
The last trace of Bai Xiuzhu left in the world disappeared. From then on, she could only live in Li Jun's memory.
"Oh, there's also Sister Xiuzhu."
The dog smiled like a human.
"Since you are addicted to the love between a man and a woman, just turn her body into a ghost soldier. From now on, you will be with her every day and be your bridegroom every night."
Li Jun's face turned dark, and he was just about to beat up this arrogant guy.
Suddenly he was shocked to realize that he did not have any feelings for Bai Xiuzhu between men and women, and the feelings just now were not his.
Li Jun closed his eyes and forcibly sealed Li Jun's original emotions. When he opened his eyes again, he was him.
The dog breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's finally normal. You quickly throw Bai Xiuzhu's body into the water and clean up the place. When old man Bai wakes up, you just pretend to be stupid and don't know anything."
"It's too late, You Dazhu saw everything." Li Jun looked at the corner and said with a wry smile.
