Chapter 4 Water Monkey
When Li Sheng woke up, he was already lying on the bed in the bedroom.
The wife on the side was crying, her eyes full of concern and worry.
Seeing Li Sheng wake up, his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief, and fearfully explained what happened after Li Sheng fainted.
It turned out that Li Sheng was so dizzy that he fell asleep for three whole days.
Li was so frightened that she even called in several doctors, but they were all helpless.
Only the last doctor said that it was 'a disease caused by evil spirits that no doctor can pray for'.
Then he kept it secret and hurriedly packed up his things and left, not even asking for the consultation fee.
After Li Shi pondered for a moment, he roughly understood that Li Sheng was afraid that he was contaminated by some weird evil spirit, so he couldn't wake up.
Praying to gods and worshiping Buddhas everywhere, another day passed before Li Sheng finally woke up.
Li Sheng was frightened when he heard this and patted his chest.
In the past, there was a saying among fishermen that if something evil happened, they should not stay there for long.
You must not go into the water again on that day.
Looking back now, it seems that this was the reason why I had become extremely lucky out of nowhere and caught several nets of big fish in one go.
“Fortunately we escaped this disaster.”
Li Sheng was also frightened because his wife had just become pregnant.
If he died so mysteriously, how should this orphan and widowed mother survive in this world?
Li Sheng, who had not had any water for three days, immediately ate and drank enough, and rested at home for another day to confirm that there was no problem with his body.
It wasn’t until the next day that I brought my fishing net with me and prepared to go fishing on the river again.
Due to the psychological shadow of the past, Li Sheng also avoided the position where he was used to fishing.
I purposely came to a remote water area that no one cares about.
As expected, this time Li Sheng set out to catch fish and did not come back with a full load like the previous days.
I cast several nets in a row, but there were only a few small fish and shrimps.
But Li Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Even if the harvest is not much, it can keep the couple fed and clothed.
It's better than losing your life.
Just when Li Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, the next net was cast, but it was extremely heavy to catch it back again.
“What’s going on.”
With a violent effort, Li Sheng finally took the fishing net back.
But to Li Sheng's surprise, his net actually fished out a small box covered with rust.
He cautiously stepped forward to open the box, only to see that it was filled with copper coins.
Looking around, there are at least several thousand words.
It can keep up with his hard-earned income for half a year.
It was obviously a windfall, but Li Sheng was sweating profusely at this time and did not dare to accept the money.
It’s really too evil.
In the past, when he moved his wife into that haunted house, he just thought that seeing was believing, and that the so-called haunted house was just a rumor.
But now he has personally seen what evil is.
After thinking about it, Li Sheng hurriedly closed the box and threw it directly into the river.
Then he picked up the oar and rowed to the shore.
It was so evil that he would rather not go fishing for half a month than take any more risks.
But it was too late now. No matter how Li Sheng paddled, his wooden boat seemed to be stuck there.
No matter how hard he tried, he never moved an inch.
This scene almost scared Li Sheng to tears. He regretted why he had to go into the water just because he was lucky.
This will make his wife a widow, as well as the unborn child in her belly.
Li Sheng, whose legs were weak, lay on the wooden boat and shouted towards the empty river:
"Help!"
"Is there anyone here to help me!?"
It wasn't until more than half an hour of shouting that a small boat seemed to hear Li Sheng's cry for help, and it slowly Paddling over.
There was an old man sitting on the boat. Looking at Li Shengru being granted amnesty, he asked with a smile the reason.
Hearing what Li Sheng said, the old man also looked solemn and shook his head repeatedly. "I'm afraid you are being used as a scapegoat by the water monkey."
Seeing the old man's well-informed appearance, Li Sheng seemed to have seen the great savior.
I hurriedly wanted to get on the old man’s boat and ask him to rescue me.
But the old man cursed:
“Don’t get on my boat.”
"You are being targeted by water monkeys, you are very unlucky. If you get on my boat, I will be unlucky for half a year!"
Looking at Li Sheng's pleading look, the old man spat, and then said:
"Have you married a wife? But you are still a boy?"
Li Sheng said cowardly:
"The boy has already married a wife."
"Humph." The old man cursed secretly, and then he had no choice but to stand on the bow of the ship himself.
Across the river, he peed towards the bow of the boat where Li Sheng was.
I have to say that the old man is really strong.
The two were separated by a short distance, but the old man's hot urine was still vigorously sprayed into the river at the bow of his boat.
"The old man is indeed strong and strong!"
Li Sheng couldn't help but admire.
"If you don't have a wife, if you practice for a few more years, you can have the energy of me."
After the old man finished speaking, he also paddled and prepared to leave.
Li Sheng just felt a lightness on the bow of the boat. He tentatively picked up the oar and paddled the water, and found that his boat could indeed be rowed.
Excitedly, he rowed the boat to the shore and finally escaped with his life.
Li Sheng, who had survived the disaster, finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from behind him, only to find that the old man who had just saved his life had also followed him.
"Old man, thank you for your life-saving grace."
The old man did not show any joy, but said calmly:
"Your boy's birth date has nothing to do with the water." Monkeys agree, even if you can escape today, you cannot escape tomorrow."
"You have been targeted by the water monkey. You must not go into the water again in the future, otherwise no one will be able to save you."
As soon as these words came out, Li Sheng couldn't help but change his face, and hurriedly begged the old man for more advice.
“My wife is just over a month pregnant, and my family still needs me to fish for a living.”
He has no land and no skills. His only ability is good water quality and fishing skills. Also quite skillful.
If you really can no longer fish in the river, how can you support your wife, children and children?
Hearing this, the old man was quite bored and cursed:
"Go, go, stop bothering me."
"If I have anything to do with you, I won't be able to catch any more fish this day."
"You and I are not close. Otherwise, why should I help you?"
Li Sheng was thoughtful when he heard this.
The other party said why they should help, not that they couldn't help.
It shows that the old man does have a way to help himself solve the problem, but it may cost some money.
With a roll of his eyes, Li Sheng suddenly guessed something and suddenly knelt down on the shore with a thud.
Kowtowed three times to the old man.
"Junior Li Sheng, I can't repay you for the kindness of rescuing me on the river just now."
"If you don't give up, I am willing to make you my godfather and take care of you until you die. ”
The old man was quite moved when he heard the words, and the ice on his face melted.
He asked with a smile:
“How do you know that I will definitely agree to you?”
Li Sheng had already guessed from his actions on the river just now that the old man should be Childish body.
He is still a boy at such a young age, which proves that he has never been married, and it is basically impossible for him to marry and have children in the future.
When a person reaches sixty, who doesn’t want to have a son to take care of him until the end of his life?
Besides, in these craft-oriented trades, the master will never pass on his unique skills to others.
Only biological sons, direct disciples, or godsons who kowtow to each other.
In this way, only after passing on the other party’s secret skills, the other party will provide him with care until the end of his life.
