At this time, Xiaojiu was like a trained monkey. Although he was dissatisfied with his master, he did not dare to resist.

I could only run around faster than my master, which made me, who was lying on the bed inside, burst out laughing!

When he came to my room, Xiaojiu lay on my bed with his butt raised high. Because he had just received a severe beating from his father, his butt was more than half fat and swollen than before.

He was playing with my mobile phone and asked me casually.

"Brother Fang, do you really not remember what happened before?"

"Well, I don't remember."

I said something casually, thinking about what the old man said at night about the boat capsizing in the big lake and people dying, so I couldn't help but ask Xiaojiu if he knew?

Unexpectedly, Xiaojiu became excited as soon as she heard this, put down her phone and said!

"Brother Fang, don't tell me. During the day, Youfei and I went to see the Great Lake. I heard people at the market say that the lake god in the Great Lake was showing his power, but neither Youfei nor I believed it.

Why does the lake god show his power? Because a few years ago, someone in the big lake inexplicably capsized his boat and sank to the bottom of the lake. My father and I saw this with our own eyes, so I thought it was a water ghost making trouble in the big lake!"

"How do you say this?"

I looked at Xiaojiu in surprise. Seeing my curiosity, he seemed to be interested and started chattering endlessly.

"This matter has to start from when I was a child!" Xiaojiu said to me as if he was reminiscing!

In fact, the Great Lake was not a large lake at that time. It could only be described as a piece of turbid stagnant water. As long as anyone passed by the stagnant water, they would smell a disgusting stench.

So at that time, people would stay away from that stagnant water whether they were doing business or checking in.

But why are there fishermen fishing in such stagnant water now?

That's because one day, it suddenly rained unprecedentedly!

It was said to be heavy rain, but to be precise, it was more like a flood, because in this flood, the heavy rain submerged many places such as the market and Zhuqing Village.

It was at that time that many people died, and their bodies were washed away by the rain and flowed into the stagnant water!

After that, the big lake seemed to have been baptized and reborn. The water began to become clear and bright, the water level rose, and live big fish jumped out of the water to play. Because the floods destroyed many places, some people thought of the big lake.

After that, fishermen began to appear in the market.

Profession!

But as for the dead man who rushed into the lake, everyone had never seen it, and nothing strange happened in the lake.

On the contrary, the big fish in the lake provided people with rich delicacies and nutrients, and soon everyone forgot about it.

Until one time, someone's boat capsized in the big lake. Everyone on the lake saw it. At that time, the old man took Xiaojiu out to see it, and the two of them also saw this scene!

Right in front of me, the boat where the accident occurred seemed to be firmly grasped by a big hand at both ends. The invisible force slowly dragged the boat into the bottom of the lake, and even the people and the boat disappeared.

Things were about to get heated, and people who knew how to swim jumped into the bottom of the lake to look for the man, wanting to find out. It was only then that everyone discovered that although the lake was clear, it was bottomless, like a huge sinkhole.

, there is endless darkness underneath!

The bottom of the lake is too deep, so we can't go too deep, and the surface of the lake is calm.

Except for the fish and shrimps swimming around, everyone could not find the figure of the man or the boat!

This incident was so suspenseful that it left a knot in everyone's mind. Some people said that the lake god showed his power, which was recognized by the fishermen.

For the delicious food in the lake, they came up with a way to worship the lake god!

Mengxi is a famous black coffin in Zhuqing Village. Everyone knows this, and his reputation even spreads far beyond the market.

So everyone thought of him at this time, so Meng Xi was invited by everyone and asked him to help perform a ritual for the Lake God!

That day, Meng Xi came. He took a boat on the lake alone and personally performed a ritual for everyone.

Everyone was on the shore at that time. Because they were too far apart, they couldn't see clearly. They could only see Meng Xi standing indifferently in the boat from a distance, but his expression was very strange, and he seemed to be talking or murmuring.

Mumbling something, at that time, everyone only saw a mass of things slowly floating in the lake.

The thing was green, like a woman's long hair, a bit like seaweed, but no one had seen such a thing at that time, so naturally they didn't understand anything.

I saw the green thing floating under Meng Xi's boat. Meng Xi, who had closed his eyes tightly, opened his eyes at this time. He picked up the green thing, with a heavy face, and slowly returned to the shore!

The green thing was taken away by Meng Xi. No one knew where it was taken or what it was used for, and no one cared.

Because everyone only cares about whether they can still go to the lake, and whether the ritual has calmed the anger of the lake god?

At that time, Mengxi only left one sentence to tell everyone, that is, to ask everyone not to fish in the water, saying that there is no lake god in the big lake, and there is only a swamp of dead people at the bottom of the lake. Those who had the accident

He was dragged down by the dead people under the lake to keep him company.

Because they need living people to replace them in order to free themselves from the confinement of the swamp!

Meng Xi's words scared everyone. In response to this, the profession of fishermen also stopped for a while, including Xiaojiu and his father. For this reason, the father and son had no support for their lives, and they mostly relied on wild animals in the mountains.

Thanks to the generosity of the people in Zhuqing Village, he managed to survive.

This is also the reason why the old man later asked Xiaojiu to deliver fish to Zhuqing Village without accepting any reward!

Because no one knows the frustration of being a fisherman and the despair of life better than his father. The important thing is that Xiaojiu was still young at that time. Although he could help himself with work, his poor development and

The short stature really worried the old man a lot!

If fishermen can no longer catch fish, what else can they do in this poor and difficult place?

Things took a turn for the better one day, because there were many fishermen who were in the same desperate situation as the old man. The bottom of the pot that could not be opened at home hit them with a heavy heart. Until one day, one fisherman finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He had no choice but to go down to the lake to fish!

By the way, this incident attracted the attention of many people at the time, because everyone thought of what Meng Xi said, saying that the bottom of the lake was a swamp of the dead.

And in this man-eating swamp, the fisherman dares to risk his life by fishing in the lake. What will be waiting for him?

Fish, lots of fish, big, fat and delicious fish!

That day, the fisherman only spent half a day working, and under everyone's eyes, he used a big net to catch waves of big fish.

This incident aroused the exclamation of everyone present. Everyone seemed to be dumbfounded and stared at the fisherman with huge harvest with wide eyes in disbelief!

Because in their eyes, they only see delicious food and money after selling big fish!

The dead man's swamp and the lake god of the great lake were all forgotten at this moment. Even Meng Xi's warning to them was forgotten.
