The man said: "Not all of them will be released! Only those who died violently will be released into the house."

"After the body was stored for three days, Old Liu Tou took the body in a boat and took it for a spin in the river. After returning, the body could be buried. Otherwise, it would be difficult to bury the dead, and even if they were buried, they could be recovered.

.”

My heart moved slightly: "Who is Old Liu Tou? Where is he?"

The man said: "Old Liu Tou is the great immortal in the village. We all call him Mr. Liu. He lives in the village. The house by the water also belongs to him."

I asked again: "Is there anything else strange about Old Liu Tou?"

The man said: "Old Liu Tou lives in that house for a period of time every year when the water rises. When he goes to live there, he first digs a big hole next to the house so that the water can flow into the hole. Wait until he can no longer live there.

, and then fill up the hole. This happens every year, and no one looks into the hole. That’s all I know.”

I said in a deep voice: "Go to Old Liu Tou and tell him that I want to live in his house by the river. No matter how hard you try to drive him away, don't say anything else. Go ahead!"

The man agreed, turned around and walked towards the village. I saw someone greeting him from a distance, but he ignored no one. He just let his hands hang by his sides and walked straight towards the village step by step.

Not long after, I saw an old man carrying a luggage roll walking towards me. The man greeted me with a smile: "I heard that a distinguished guest came to my house, so I came here to welcome him and sit in the room.

"

I followed the old man into the house and saw the old man throwing his salutes on the edge of the kang. He specifically gave up the position at the edge of the kang: "The edge of the kang in my house is a place where dead people lie. It's okay for distinguished guests to stay on the kang for a while!"

The old man laid out his bed and saluted, then took out a cigarette and said: "My name is Liu Bao, you can just call me Lao Liutou. What do you call your distinguished guest?"

I looked at Old Liu Tou with a half-smile but not a smile: "I can't call you a distinguished guest! My name is Li Po! I am just a passer-by. I think your home is quite interesting, so come in and have a seat."

"There's a ghost in your name. What a great name you have." Old Li puffed his head and said, "Is your friend from upriver?"

The old man thought I was a water ghost. Who told me to have the word ghost in my name?

The old man misunderstood, and I didn't explain: "I'm from outside, looking for someone." As I spoke, I shook my wrist slightly.

I attached two dragon-head-style buckles to the soul-binding rope my master gave me, and I usually wrap it around my wrist as a wristband and decoration.

I shook my hands just to let the other person see clearly the soul-binding rope in my hand.

Lao Liutou's eyes suddenly opened and he asked tentatively: "Are you on duty?"

"What do you think?" As I spoke, I injected the Yin energy into the soul-binding rope. The finger-thick iron chain instantly flashed with bursts of light, and the evil energy from the underworld instantly overflowed from my wrist.

Old Liu Tou immediately stood up respectfully: "Liu Bao, the waterkeeper, pays homage to the superior. I wonder what the superior is doing here?"

I said calmly: "I'm looking for someone, someone who has been dead for many years. Her name is Wang Li. Do you know where this person is?"

After hearing this, Old Liu Tou shook his head: "My ancestors have been guarding the river, and I have never seen such a person before."

I asked again: "I heard that you dug a hole at the door and took the body into the river for nothing?"

Old Liu Tou said: "Let's not hide it from my boss. I dug a hole at the door to wait for a fish. When he comes, I can avenge my ancestors."

"Our old Liu family has been entangled with that fish for more than one generation. I don't know how my family got into trouble with that fish. In every generation, someone died at its hands. My short-lived son was dragged by that fish.

After entering the river, not even a body was found."

Old Liu Tou shed tears as he spoke: "At this age, my only wish is to avenge my father and my son! That beast is so cunning, I dug a hole in the house and waited for him.

He won't come. I took the dead man out to swim in the river and teased him with Yin Qi, but he didn't come out. There was nothing I could do."

I asked calmly: "What does the fish you mentioned look like? Where does it appear?"

Old Liu Tou said: "I have never seen the whole picture of the fish. I only saw the backbone. I felt that the fish was about as long as a person. Also, the fish has no scales on its body."

My eyes sank slightly: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Lao Liutou nodded and said, "I fought with that fish once, and it didn't have big scales on its body. It looked like it had a black cotton cloth spread on its body."

Seeing that I was silent, Old Liu Tou continued: "The few times I encountered that fish were near the water nests upstream. I always suspected that the fish came out of the water nests. But I didn't dare to go there.

Go to the water hole!"

The dead man, the fish, the Shuiwozi, and the Wang and Li family are all facing each other.

I lit up a cigarette and took two puffs. Before I could frown, I heard Old Liu Tou shout: "You are not a ghost, you are a human being?"
