The woman in yellow is a monster in Luoshui, and her life is in danger.
Seeing the two fish swaying into the water with their tails swaying.
Wei Yuan had some guesses in his mind, and immediately turned back to the B&B without stopping.
After entering the B&B, he walked straight to the back kitchen, carrying a long sword on his back, and raised his hand to lift the curtain.
It was as if the curtain separated the two worlds.
A burst of bloody smell hit me.
Dang, dang——
Dang!
The fire was burning on the stove, the water in the pot was boiling, and bubbles like eyeballs rolled up and were punctured, and white mist filled the whole room.
The fat and big-eared cook held a sharp-edged boning knife and chopped the big bones on the table again and again. Blood and flesh splashed out. The sharp blade, broken bones, and greasy meat flakes formed an uncomfortable scene. On the cook's table, a huge yellow croaker was lying horizontally, struggling violently.
In the fish basket on one side, there were two slightly smaller yellow croakers.
When the three fish saw Wei Yuan, they struggled even harder.
As expected.
Wei Yuan said in his heart, and when the cook saw Wei Yuan, he also stopped.
Slowly turning his head, he looked at Wei Yuan with a pair of wooden eyes, the sharp blade in his hand dripping blood, and slowly said: "Guest, what are you doing here?"
Wei Yuan smiled and pointed at the yellow croaker on the table, and then pointed at the two slightly smaller yellow croakers in the fish basket, and said politely: "I wonder if you can give me these three fish?"
The cook said in a muffled voice:
"...This is the main dish tonight."
Wei Yuan took a step forward and said:
"I have been doing good recently and I can't stand killing. Please give me these three fish." "Give me the last fish."
"If it doesn't work, I'll pay for it."
"Pay?"
The fat and big-eared cook held a sharp knife dripping with blood, and his eyes swayed up and down on Wei Yuan, especially at the position of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. He paused, seeming a little hesitant and greedy. Wei Yuan slowly raised his right hand and placed it on the long-handled object behind him. The cook seemed to remember something, trembled, and said:
"...Okay, give it to you."
He swept the big yellow croaker into the bamboo basket and handed it to Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan took the bamboo basket with three yellow croakers, thanked him, turned around and left. The cook behind him was silent for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "You said you wanted to leave before, someone wants to tell you something, although the way you came here is no longer possible, but there is still a small way out."
You can go out, but don't think about finding the way in again.
Wei Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
"But the scenery here is very nice. I like it very much and want to stay for a few more days."
"I don't want to leave these two days."
The cook opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.
.........
Wei Yuan carried the fish in the bamboo basket and returned to the house. The blood traces left by the previous killing of Yimuwu had been cleaned up. Wei Yuan put the bamboo basket on the table and said, "Did you send me a dream before?"
The yellow croaker seemed to understand human nature, rising and falling in the water, nodding repeatedly.
Wei Yuan was thoughtful. Seeing that the two yellow croakers were dying, he said:
"Do you want me to send you back to the river?"
The yellow croaker nodded again, like a person bowing, swimming in the already small fish basket, its fins gently brushing the two small fish, with a loving gesture. Wei Yuan picked up the fish basket and returned to the wider than normal branch of Luojiang River. He tipped the basket, and three fish emerged from the water, turned around a few times, bowed a few times, and swayed to the depths of the water.
Wei Yuan returned to the B&B.
He leaned against the bed with his sword in his arms, closed his eyes and meditated, and soon fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes in the dream, I saw the woman in yellow holding her two children and kneeling on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and thanked her: "Thank you, General, for saving my life. I am willing to die for you and repay you for this kindness."
Wei Yuan shook his head and said:
"No need. You are a water spirit. Do you know what is going on in this village?"
The woman in yellow replied: "Let the general know. I have been in Luoshui for a hundred years. One day, I accidentally crashed into the waters of this village and could never get out. No matter which direction I swim, I will eventually return to this village. I don't know much about the things on the shore, only two things."
"First, there must be ghosts in the car when you came here. They will definitely try their best to invite you to their home as a guest in the next two days. The general is a Taoist, so he is naturally not afraid, but he can't underestimate these ghosts. There is a saying in the world that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If it is not necessary, don't You can go."
"If you have no choice, before going to his house, you must buy a big red umbrella, and when you arrive at the door, you must let him go in first. After he enters the door, you will open the red umbrella and hold it against the door of his house. No matter what he says, you cannot agree or go to see him. Only in this way can you be safe."
Wei Yuan thought for a while and said, "What is the other thing?"
The yellow-clothed woman's face turned a little pale, and she kowtowed and said:
"No matter what, please leave this ghost area within three days."
"Why?"
"Because after three days, it will be too late. The ghost king here will get married in three days."
Wei Yuan said calmly: "Will many evil ghosts come when he gets married?"
"No..."
The yellow-clothed woman shook her head, her face terrified:
"He wants to forcefully marry the goddess on the mountain."
............
Have you heard of the story of the goddess and the mortal?
You must have heard of it, right?
The goddess who hated the hardship in heaven came to the human world. When she was washing, the mortal who coveted her beauty secretly hid her feathered robe and shawl. She had no way to return to heaven, so she stayed in the human world, married the mortal who stole her clothes, and had children.
She was happy and everyone envied her.
But was the goddess who was supposed to be in heaven happy?
The yellow-clothed woman's cultivation was limited, and she woke up from the dream quickly. Wei Yuan thought about her last reminder.
He suddenly thought of the driver who volunteered to go to the village to inquire about the situation today. He suddenly felt something was wrong. He took out his mobile phone, turned it on, but remembered that there was no signal on the mobile phone, and there was no way to contact the driver.
It was almost afternoon, but the driver still hadn't come back. Obviously, something was wrong.
Wei Yuan frowned and walked around outside. He didn't see any red in this place.
Not to mention the red umbrella.
Could it be that he had to bleed to make one?
Wei Yuan felt a little annoyed and wanted to give up the plan, but the method provided by the woman in yellow was very likely to work. It seemed a pity to give up like this. After thinking about it, Wei Yuan thought of someone who might be able to help. It was the owner of the homestay who reminded him today.
He simply went to the owner and asked if there was a big red umbrella.
"Do you want an umbrella?"
"We have a black one here."
The skinny man looked at Wei Yuan expressionlessly, turned around slowly, and found a wooden box under the table and handed it to Wei Yuan, saying it was a black umbrella, but after opening it, there was a big red umbrella inside. Wei Yuan was sharp-eyed and saw that the boss's palm holding the box had black marks similar to burnt white paper.
The boss put his hands in his sleeves and lowered his eyebrows.
"I want to get some sun."
The weather in this village is always gloomy.
It seems to make people moldy.
Wei Yuan nodded, took the box, and put it on his back, as if there were two sword boxes behind him.
Just as he turned out, he saw the couple who had come with him in the car before and greeted him excitedly, saying: "Brother Wei, are you free now? Old Wu said there is an old house across the river in this village, and he can take us to see it."
"You came here too, why don't we go together?"

Wei Yuan looked behind the couple, the middle-aged man who also came with him in the car, and looked outside.
It was afternoon, the weather was gloomy and humid, and the driver still showed no sign of returning.
So he nodded and smiled easily:
"Okay, let's go together."
