I frowned and quickly opened the zipper on the bag. Inside the bag were a lot of bread, ham sausages and a black plastic bag.

After I opened the black plastic bag, I saw a neat pile of banknotes inside.

At first glance, I thought these bills were money, but when I looked through them carefully, I thought they were all ghost coins.

Even though it was broad daylight, everyone who watched it felt panicked and had chills running down their backs.

"Why does Damao carry so many ghost coins with him when he has nothing to do?"

I glanced at the piles of Ming coins in my bag and already had some guesses in my mind.

"These things may seem like ghost coins to us, but in Li Damao's eyes, these piles are all money.

If my guess is correct, he should have been fascinated by something, maybe it had something to do with them building a road to Daxigou.

Uncle Guangping, have any of you seen the wealthy businessmen who funded the road construction, and the construction took such a long time, did Li Damao pay wages to the workers?"

Uncle Guangping frowned and finally shook his head.

"When you say this, it seems that the wealthy businessman who paid for the road construction has never shown up, and Damao has always been responsible for spreading the news.

These road construction workers all came from ten miles and eight villages. They came naturally as soon as they heard there was money to be made. As for the wages, Damao always said that they would be paid at once after the construction period was over.

This situation is very common in the construction industry, and you basically have to wait until the work is completed before you pay."

After Uncle Guangping said this, my heart suddenly became clear.

"Now it all makes sense. Maybe there were no wealthy businessmen from the beginning.

Instead, the evil spirit deceived Li Damao and told him to build a road to Daxigou. It was actually just to let him dig through the windshield wall at the entrance of Daxigou.

Li Damao was afraid that he was obsessed. When he saw something happened last night, he wanted to run away with the money.

It's just that he never dreamed that the money was not spent by him at all."

I gritted my teeth and looked along the dragging traces by the river. I saw a trace on the ground that was about as thick as an oil drum.

This trace has been sliding towards the grass next to it, and recently entered a depression deep in Daxi Valley.

"Oh my god, it's so thick, there can't really be a big snake, right?"

The young people in the village looked at the traces left on the ground, and their faces turned pale.

"I'm very scared. There are so many of us, and we have two guns in our hands. Even if there is a big snake, we have to kill him to prevent him from continuing to harm others in the future."

Li Guangping shook the gun in his hand and cheered for the young students.

"Uncle Guangping, where is the depression in front of you?"

Li Guangping glanced towards the depression and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Hiss... Just now we were just searching along the way without paying attention to the direction. How did we end up in this ghost place?"

The young people in the village looked into the depression, and it seemed that someone recognized this place.

"Isn't this the depression where the water tower is?"

Water tower!

I squinted my eyes. I had heard something about the water-calming tower that the villagers talked about when I was a child.

It is said that a long time ago, there was a demon in Xiaolinhe Village. It was a water demon that became a climate.

This water monster would come to the village every night to steal children. In just half a month, more than a dozen children were lost in the village.

Later, a wandering Taoist priest saw the doorway inside and went into Daxigou to eliminate the demon.

It is said that after the old Taoist priest entered Daxigou, it rained heavily for three consecutive days, and the old Taoist priest never came out.

The strange thing is that no more children were lost in the village. The villagers all said that the old Taoist priest was responsible for the missing children except the water monster.

Maybe the old Taoist priest didn't practice enough and eventually died together with the water demon.

However, when something like this happened, the villagers did not dare to run into Daxigou. They just burned incense and paid homage outside Daxikou.

It took almost half a year, when the villagers had forgotten about the incident, before someone finally entered the Daxigou.

But what shocked the villagers was that a water tower appeared out of thin air in the depression of Daxigou.

This water pool is only half full. Standing next to the water tower, you can even hear the sound of rushing water inside. There are many strange runes carved on the water tower.

It is said that anyone who approaches this water tower will be plagued by bad luck, ranging from a serious illness to death.

Over time, the villagers began to stay away from this depression, and few people dared to approach it.

Of course, because it is so old, the authenticity of this matter cannot be verified, but what is certain is that there is indeed a water control tower in the depression.

When I was a kid, I once asked my second master if the water monsters were really being suppressed under the Water Control Tower.

The second master just smiled and said nothing, and told me not to think too much, children. My intuition told me that the second master should know about this water tower!

"Uncle Guangping, how did we get here? Could this big snake be the water monster that was suppressed under the water tower?

He has escaped now, so he wants to seek revenge from our people in Xiaolinhe Village."

Uncle Guangping frowned and scolded a few people: "Stop thinking nonsense every day, you know nothing! You just watch too many movies every day and make up your own mind.

I went to the Water Control Tower once when I was young, but I am not living well now."

I couldn't help but look at Uncle Guangping with curiosity on my face.

"Uncle Guangping, have you really seen the Water Control Tower?"

Uncle Guangping laughed naively and said: "Then I can still be blinded. I was young and bold at the time, so I went into Daxigou to hunt for medicine with a few young people in the village, but I came back too late.

It was foggy that night, so I got separated from some of my companions while walking.

Logically speaking, I have walked this mountain road in Daxigou countless times, and I can’t go wrong even with my eyes closed.

But that night, for some unknown reason, I walked into this depression in a daze and could not get out.

It wasn't until midnight that I saw the water tower. In fact, the water tower was not as evil as it was rumored to be. It was just a big stone peg with a strange shape.

That thing is in a pit, and you may not be able to see it even if you stand outside the depression.

The stone peg looks like a broken stone tower, with many strange words engraved on it.

I couldn't think of going out at that time, so I slept all night with the big stone peg in my arms, and didn't return to the village until early the next morning.

Nothing is wrong, don't scare yourself.

If you don’t believe it, I’ll take the lead.”

As he spoke, Uncle Guangping took the lead and walked towards the depression. Upon seeing this, the others immediately lost their guard and followed suit one by one.

Others didn't see it, but I saw it clearly.
