After Zhao Zhuang told the time when the warlock died suddenly, my eyes suddenly shrank.

There were only seven days left between the sudden death of the warlock and Wang Li's suicide by drowning. In other words, the night of the warlock's death happened to be the first seven days of Wang Li's death.

There must be some connection between the catastrophe in Yulu Village and the appearance and death of Wang Li. Anyone who could tell the secret at that time was killed by my sword, leaving me with only a vague clue.

.

This is the result of choice. Sometimes, after people make a choice, there is no room for regret, because nothing can be repeated. You can only go step by step according to the original choice.

I was silent for a moment and said, "What's that woman's name?"

Zhao Zhuang replied calmly: "I also asked my ancestors, and they said that the woman is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. According to her husband's surname, she should be called Wang Li."

Right, finally right!

The person I was looking for finally came out!

Zhao Zhuang didn't know what I was thinking, so he continued: "I heard my ancestor accidentally said that the name of that woman before she left the government should be Li Yulan."

"At that time, my ancestor also said that the woman came at a strange time. How could a woman who was literate, able to write and draw be fished out of the water by a boy from the Wang family? She even offered her body to repay her kindness.

"

"That's all my ancestor said. He didn't say anything else. I think he seemed to have something to say."

Zhao Zhuang probably didn't lie, that Li Yulan did come by surprise.

Although the name Li Yulan is a bit tacky, in the era when Li Yulan appeared, only daughters from wealthy families had formal names. This shows that her family should have at least produced scholars.

Moreover, in the old days, not many boys could go to school, and even fewer girls could go to school. Many teachers even did not know how to teach their own girls to read. In their view, "it is virtue for a woman not to be talented", so there is no need

Literary literacy. Only officials and officials can produce talented women who have learned "playing, chess, calligraphy and painting".

Such a woman might, under the brainwashing of feudal ethics, marry a fisherman in order to repay the kindness of saving her life, or because of the closeness of her skin. However, wouldn't the orders of her parents and the words of a matchmaker be ignored?

She has to have a source, right?

Did this woman who came up from the water come from the underwater underground palace, or did she become a ghost in the underground palace after death?

I said in a deep voice: "You said that Ms. Wang Li was forced to death? Who was it? For what reason Ms. Wang Li was forced to death? Where was her body buried?"

"I don't know any of this!" Zhao Zhuang shook his head and said, "I'm not the only one who asked about these things. Others in the village also asked about these things, and none of those ancestors were willing to tell them."

I nodded slightly: "You made a deal with that woman, you should know her name, right?"

"I don't know, she just asked me to call her grandma." Zhao Zhuang said: "I was also obsessed at the time. I believed whatever she said. There is no restriction between us. If I had known..."

I didn't want to hear Zhao Zhuang regret, so I simply interrupted him: "Then what was the deal between you and that woman? You should know by now, right?"

Zhao Zhuang nodded and said, "I'll tell you everything!"

"That woman asked us to release the Arowana trapped in the village. As soon as the Arowana leaves the village, she will immediately lift the curse on the village and set us free."

I turned to look at Old Liu Tou: "Arowana is really in the village?"

"I don't know!" Old Liu shook his head and said, "I have never heard my ancestors talk about this. Besides..."

Old Liu Tou looked at my face and said: "That fish that kills people in the river doesn't look like an arowana. Can an arowana have no scales? It doesn't look like a dragon fish either. That fish has no claws or horns. Can it?"

Is it a dragon fish?"

The ancestor of the Wang family said that Shou Shuiying had trapped a dragon fish, but Zhao Zhuang said that the woman wanted an arowana. The difference between one word and another is a huge difference.

No matter which one of them misjudged the fish, one thing is certain, that is, the fish has the characteristics of a dragon.

If we only classify by body size, let alone rivers, even in reservoirs there are big fish that are longer than small boats. No matter how big the fish is, they cannot be called dragons or dragons.

Be it a dragon fish or an arowana! It must at least have features such as horns, claws, and golden scales.

Why is Lao Liutou's statement so different?

I put aside my doubts for the time being: "Are you sure the fish is in the village?"

"It should be there!" Zhao Zhuang said: "There is a waterway under the village, and it is..."

Zhao Zhuang didn't know how to express it, so he simply took out his dagger and drew seven squares on the ground: "The waterway in the village is connected to seven pools, and there is such a pool under every old house that can hold a boat. Those places must have been there before.

Closed things."

Zhao Zhuang said: "Except for Old Uncle Liu's house, we have searched through the pools under several other houses, but we just can't find where the arowana is. We can only think of other ways to find fish."

"At the beginning, a few of us secretly dug a water channel underground that led directly to the river, hoping to lure the woman over to find the dragon fish. The day we quietly released the water was the day you came over."
