    The sound was like a hairpin scraping against metal, which made people feel terrified.…

    The sound was like a hairpin scraping against metal, which made people feel terrified.

    She was sure that Li Heru didn’t speak. Li Heru was sitting with his head bowed, with a faint smile on his lips.

    Then, Chu Yu turned around.

    The highly rotten mandible of the water ghost opened and closed, connected only by a trace of rotten flesh. Chu Yu wanted to reach out and help her hold her chin.

    “She can speak now, you can save her.” Li Heru put down his legs, threw Xiao Huang aside, and sat up straight.

    ?Does the so-called grinding her to death mean she is saved?

    To save a water ghost that you met for the first time and couldn’t speak a minute ago?

    “I’m going to…kill you…and reincarnate.” The water ghost said intermittently with difficulty.

    This water ghost also wanted to kill her.

    I’m afraid this is a bit difficult. Chu Yu tried to communicate in a friendly manner: “What is your name? Why did you die here?”

    The flesh on the water ghost’s face was eaten away by the fish, leaving only fragments, but Chu Yu could still tell from the few remaining muscles that she was sneering.

    “You…there’s something wrong with your brain. Why should I die…could it be that I’ve had too many good times and got tired of living…” The water ghost tried its best to stretch out its claws at her, but it didn’t move at all.

    “I’ll make your wish come true. Why do you stay here? Do you have something to do? Or is it someone you want to see?” Chu Yu patiently persuaded.

    “I want to… catch the scapegoat… so that I can be reincarnated… It’s too hard for me to be a human in this life… I don’t want to be a wild animal in the next life.” The water ghost said with great force, and a tooth fell to the ground with a click.

    “If you catch a scapegoat and reincarnate, you will have merit deducted from your account. Now the birth rate of humans is higher than that of wild animals. You will still be a human in your next life.” Chu Yu said kindly.

    The orbicularis muscles near the water ghost’s eye sockets suddenly tightened: “When I died… didn’t I say that life would be easier in the future?”

    “You can never escape by relying on death. Man is like a grain of sand pressed down by order under the mountain.

    Whether the mountain will move, whether it will collapse, whether it will be submerged by the sea overnight, has nothing to do with the grain of sand. As long as the grain of sand remains in place, it will always be a grain of sand, living the life of a grain of sand, with the mountain above its head, but never seeing the mountain.”

    A drop of water flowed down the water ghost’s eyes. She didn’t expect these words to touch her so much. Chu Yu felt deeply comforted.

    There was a continuous crackling sound all around, and the water surface seemed to be boiling. Chu Yu looked around blankly, it turned out to be raining.

    “So…am I not dead…” Water Ghost asked.

    “Death is not the end. A grain of sand can also go to other places. If it falls into a clam, it becomes a pearl. If it falls on the seaside, it will become a beach. If it flies into your eyes, it can become a thorn in your side. Why stick to this.

    It’s uncomfortable to be in the water. If you can walk faster, go ahead.”Chu Yu reached out and picked off the waterweed hanging on her mandible.

    The water ghost was silent. She subconsciously raised her hand, but it actually did rise.

    Chu Yu restrained her legs, which almost retreated into a defensive posture, and stood firmly: “I have broken the curse for you. Do you want me to save you or jump into the water and continue to look for a scapegoat? It’s up to you whether you want to stay or not.”

    This was said with a master’s style. At this time, the drizzle was falling and the wind gradually stopped.

    Half of the cold yellow sunset slowly appeared on the iron-green sky. One person and one ghost stood opposite each other. Chu Yu’s hair was flying, but she frowned without moving.

    After about a stick of incense, the water ghost fell to his knees with a plop: “Master, help me leave.”

    “Wait, in return, you have to give us some benefits.” Li Heru suddenly raised his hand to interrupt the two of them.

    Chu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing. The water ghost raised his head in shock and gritted his teeth and said, “I knew it! There is no such thing as free food in the world!”

    She knelt on the ground and gritted her teeth.

    After a moment, she turned her head again and said with the aura of a strong man cutting off his wrist: “Tell me, what do you… want?”

    Li Heru hooked his fingers and continued: “Push our boat to the shore.”

    The aunt was sleeping in a daze when she suddenly saw an afterimage passing over the lake. The ancient duck boat with half of its eyeballs missing came towards the shore at lightning speed. She shouted repeatedly: “Turn down the gear, you can’t run so fast!”

    No one on the boat answered. The cold-looking woman leaned against the side of the boat, her eyes not falling on her.

    The aunt looked at the many electric boats lined up on the shore, and then she remembered that this woman rented a pedal boat.

    She looks calm on the outside, but actually her feet are sparking. She is indeed a fitness person. The aunt took a pair of glasses from her pocket and put them on the bridge of her nose.

    She looked over again, and the woman was driving the duck boat past her eyes again. The waves were surging behind the boat. She stood close and was slapped on the face by the waves, which shocked her.

    “It’s time! Hey!” Auntie wiped the water on her face and protested loudly.

    The boat had already moved away, and two words floated coldly along the waves on the lake: “More money.”

    The aunt immediately sat back as her ears suddenly became clear after listening to the fairy music.

    She kept playing on the lake until dark. The water ghost’s tongue was longer than that of the hanged ghost. Panting, she looked up from the water and pushed aside the wet water plants on both sides with her hands: “I haven’t…enough fun yet.”

    Li Heru used her hands to straighten her bangs that were blown askew by the wind. She changed her position and crossed her legs. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Huang staggered out of her arms and vomited out her milk: “Ugh… I want to vomit, boat vomit…”

    Li Heru raised his eyebrows and said in the water ghost’s eager eyes, “Okay, I’ll send you away.”

    Li Heru sent many ghosts away, including those who were burned to death, those who fell to death, those who died of illness, those who were drowned, but few ghosts left willingly.

    Most of the time, she was half-threatening and half-violent, lifting one foot of it onto the Naihe Bridge, and then kicked it on the butt. Then the ghost rolled into Po Meng’s soup pot, got up from the pot, and didn’t know what year it was, and was reincarnated in a daze.

    No matter how difficult the devil was, she could successfully send him away in this way, but compared to Chu Yu, she seemed even more inhumane.

    Skylight broke through the clouds and illuminated half of the mountains and rivers in the southwest mountainous area.The rain has stopped, the mist on the lake has dispersed, floating light leaps into the gold, and a wet footprint steps from the lake onto the shore. Chu Yu remains motionless, lowering his eyes and waiting.

    One knee hit the ground, and then another. The water ghost knelt down, his empty eyes full of piety.

    Li Heru leaned to the side, holding Xiao Huang and touching him, but his eyes were firmly locked on Chu Yu’s face.

    Her eyes ran across her eyebrows, eyes, the sharp yet gentle curve of the bridge of her nose, her soft lips, and down to the undulating mountains. She was so satisfied with what she saw that she wished she could just pick up a pen and trace it.

    “Mommy, why are you always staring at mom?” Xiao Huang whispered,

    “Just stare at whatever you like. If you don’t forget it, there will be a response, you know?” Li Heru stroked its ear.

    “Then why isn’t mom staring at you?” Xiao Huang raised her head. The corners of Li Heru’s raised lips froze for a moment, and she looked away: “Sooner or later, she will stare at me, just like before.”

    This was the first time that Chu Yu had taken down an evil ghost with just his sharp tongue. There were no thrilling old unsolved cases and no violent battle scenes. She did not recover until the last wisp of black smoke from the water ghost disappeared in her hands.

    “How about this move?” Li Heru walked over slowly.

    “Moving your mouth is more effective than using your hands. What kind of curse is this?” Chu Yu looked confused.

    “Do you know how to endure an eagle’s death? You don’t let the eagle sleep all night long. You endure it until both the human and the eagle’s eyes are red. You endure it until the eagle’s wings become limp and it no longer has the energy to fly. Even if it’s over.

    Give it something bitter first, and it will chase after the sweet bit.However, this trick cannot be used on humans. Humans are different from animals. Humans are wrapped in a shell of confusion, and underneath the shell is a restless heart.

    Training, you have to break her shell first and tell her what she wants, then you can firmly hold on to that heart and prevent yourself from growing wings and flying away.”

    Li Heru rarely said so many words in one breath. At the end, she took a breath and patted Chu Yu on the shoulder: “You have to learn this trick. You have to rely on yourself in the future.”

    These words sounded like an entrustment before life and death. Chu Yu froze. While she was thinking about these words, she raised her eyes inexplicably, and happened to look at Li Heru who was staring at her.

    With a look that was full of emotion and sticky like honey, Chu Yu quickly looked away. After a moment, she realized that this move was too much. She coughed lightly: “What do you mean? You won’t be with me anymore?”

    Her voice was cold, but her words sounded three-quarters wronged and seven-point pitiful.

    Chu Yu’s heart was beating wildly. She tried to restrain herself and tried to sound calm and calm.

    “It doesn’t matter if you rely entirely on me, you should learn some real skills.” Li Heru lowered his eyes, his crow-feather eyelashes hiding all emotions.

    The autumn wind in the evening has complex ingredients, with a slightly cool top note. When you inhale the nose, you can smell the warm aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, but also a slightly bleak autumn wind, which is the smell of loneliness.

    Chu Yu took a big sip, and suddenly choked on the cold and raw taste of the ending and coughed several times. Li Heru slightly raised his coat and tied up his collar, just covering his mouth and nose, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.

    “I’m going to be away for a few days. You’re busy with your business and don’t worry about me.” After saying that, she turned around and left.

    Chu Yu reached out and grabbed her. Li Heru’s hand was as cold as holding a piece of ice.

    “Where are you going? When will you come back?” She asked in a trembling tone. Li Heru’s words aroused a huge sense of crisis in her heart. She usually left often, even without saying goodbye, but she was not as moved as this time.

    Maybe Li Heru arranged everything so well, like a carefully prepared farewell, that caught her off guard.

    “I didn’t ask in the past, so there’s no need to ask this time.” Li Heru’s tone was calm. She withdrew her hand and walked forward immediately.

    Chu Yu rushed forward in panic, but missed the opportunity this time.

    Dots of red blood beads rose up, and the woman disappeared out of thin air. The blood beads fell like a downpour, hitting the flowers and leaves all around, but Chu Yu didn’t get a trace on her body.

    She stood in the blood mist, dazed and dejected. Blood beads fell again and again. She reached out to catch them. The ring on her hand was shining brightly. The blood beads were naughty. They changed their trajectory out of thin air and scattered around.

    She held nothing, and the man had already disappeared. A gust of wind blew by, and the only sounds in the forest were the falling leaves and wind cries.
