Yang Yongqing fell unconscious at some point. There were several deep finger prints on his ankles, and there was even a spot that was pinched by the monster's fingers and was bleeding out.

"Yongqing lost a lot of blood, Qing'er, what should I do?"

"Stop the bleeding first."

Yang Ruoqing threw a small white porcelain bottle over, and Yang Huazhong caught it, quickly poured the hemostatic powder inside onto Yang Yongqing's wound, and tore off a piece of his own clothes to tie up the wound with Yang Yongqing.

After all this was done, he asked Yang Yongzhi to pinch Yang Yongqing's people, and Yang Yongqing finally woke up.

"Third uncle, water ghost, water ghost!"

Just as his consciousness returned, huge fear surged into Yang Yongqing's eyes. He subconsciously grabbed Yang Huazhong's arm and hid behind him.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Yang Huazhong patted Yang Yongqing's back and comforted him repeatedly.

A few people gathered together and looked at the lotus pond from a distance.

Yang Ruoqing was still standing on the shore, looking directly at the lotus pond.

In the lotus pond, the water was still surging. It was obvious that the thing was injured and did not leave. It was struggling in place.

"Qing'er, stand back, that water ghost is very strong, be careful not to drag you down." Yang Huazhong warned loudly from a distance.

Yang Ruoqing turned her head and smiled at them. Compared with their embarrassment and fear on their faces, she was so calm that they were ashamed.

In fact, it was she who rescued them before, otherwise they would all be dragged into the deep water by the water ghost now.

"Dad, after you have rested, send two people home and ask Uncle Luo to come over and ask him to bring two fishing nets."

"What? Fishing net? Do you still want to use the fishing net to catch water ghosts? Those are water ghosts, they are ghosts!" Yang Huaming was so frightened that he shouted at Yang Ruoqing.

"Fourth Uncle, there are no water ghosts at all, that's..."

"Why are there no water ghosts? Today is the 16th day of the seventh lunar month. The gate of ghosts was opened last night, and all the ghosts are here, wandering around in the human world!"

Yang Huaming said in horror, and glanced around with his eyes. His face was pale under the moonlight, as if ghosts were standing in front of him, coming out from all directions.

"It's a water ghost, it's a water ghost. It's a human hand grabbing me. It's cold. It must be a drowned person who has turned into a ghost..."

Yang Yongqing huddled behind Yang Huazhong and shouted in fear.

"Uncle Third, let's go home, I won't look for you anymore, I won't look for you anymore..."

Yang Huazhong supported Yang Yongqing, who was extremely emotional, with a complicated look on his face.

Yang Yongzhi slapped Yang Yongqing hard: "Calm down, don't yell!"

Yang Yongqing buried his head and did not dare to make any more noise. Yang Yongzhi stood up and came to Yang Ruoqing's side, saying in a deep voice: "Qing'er, Fourth Uncle and Qing Xiaozi both insisted that it was a water ghost. What do you think..."

"Third brother, I don't know if anyone has drowned in this lotus pond. Whether the drowned person will really turn into a water ghost and come up to the world in the second half of July to wander around. I have never seen it myself, so

I dare not make a conclusion."

She pointed to the lotus pond in front of her where the water was still swaying: "But what I can be sure of is that the thing in the water is definitely not a ghost. Ghosts have no entity, and that thing just took a solid blow from me."

.”

"It is in pain right now and is still struggling in the water. If we don't take this opportunity to cast a net and fish it out to see what happens, are we going to wait until its wounds recover and continue to stay here and drink the soup to do evil?"

"Also, there is a shoe over there. Maybe it belongs to Mr. Mo. Maybe Mr. Mo fell into the water and was dragged down and eaten by this monster?"

"Qing'er, I understand, if you want to see a person alive or a dead body, if Mrs. Mo is really eaten by the monster in the water, then, then we have to cut open the monster's stomach to see what happens..."

Yang Yongzhi and Yang Ruoqing returned to Yang Huazhong's side together. Yang Yongzhi said: "Third uncle, fourth uncle, Qing'er and I have agreed to fish out that thing from the water tonight no matter what."

"You don't want your life, that's a water ghost..." Yang Huaming's eyes almost stared to the ground in shock. Do these two guys really think they are the reincarnation of Zhong Kui?

"Fourth uncle, you have already reached this point, there is no reason to go back." Yang Ruoqing was not afraid of losing Yang Huaming's face, "Fourth uncle, if you are afraid, you should go back with third brother, who happens to be going

You can ask me, Uncle Luo, to take you back with me."

"And your little cousin, if you want to give up, then you can go back. I don't force you to stay here."

If Yang Huaming is still weighing and weighing, then Yang Yongqing's choice is very straightforward.

"I'm going back. If I don't go back, I'd be a coward..."

"However, now that you are gone, we have broken up. I have tried my best to help you find Mo, but you gave up on your own. You will have to find it on your own later. You have to think clearly."

Yang Yongqing's feet that he had just lifted out paused in the air, and he turned to look at Yang Ruoqing with a resentful look on his face.

"Qing'er, why are you talking like that? You're making me happy for nothing."

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, yes, I like to talk like this, do you have any objections?

"Hey, I knew it wasn't that good, that's all, I won't go back."

Yang Yongqing hunched his shoulders and squatted down again, trembling as he looked at the lotus pond from a distance.

"I'm not going back either. I might as well stay here to help you build up your courage." Yang Huaming also quickly expressed his stance at this time, standing clearly on Yang Ruoqing's side.

Yang Ruoqing liked his cleverness and ability to understand current affairs.

"Dad, please go back to the village with my third brother and tell your mother and my Aunt Cuilian that they don't have to worry."

Tonight, she would probably have to stay up all night, and even if she could go back, it would be later in the night.

Yang Huazhong looked away from the lotus pond, "Qing'er, let Mr. Zhi convey the same thing. It's better for me to stay and wait with you."

The moonlight shines on the water, which is indeed bright, but under the large lotus leaves is a place where the moonlight cannot be seen.

There are large expanses of shadow there, and I don’t know what strange things are hidden underneath.

Yang Ruoqing naturally understood what Yang Huazhong was thinking, and felt warm in her heart.

No matter when her father is around, no matter how strong she is and how capable she is of her own, he always wants to protect her.

Even though she was actually protecting him in the end, his thoughts and actions never changed.

This is the heart of the old father.

"Dad, I cut off one of that thing's arms. Now I'm hiding in the deep water to heal the injury. I don't dare to come up."

"You go back with my third brother first and explain things clearly to your family. It's a long way back to Changping Village from here, and it's Guiyue again, so you two should be taken care of."

When it comes to Gui Yue walking at night, Yang Huaming has the right to speak.

"Third brother, you and Zhi Xiaozi should go back to the village together. Qing'er is right. Guiyue is easy to get into trouble when driving at night. Liu and I bumped into each other back then. A bunch of little ghosts abducted us both.
