Let the Wandering Souls Return
" No, I didn't." Susu shook her head." I detected a trace of corpse smell on Wang Dongzi. I think it came from Old Blind Qian."”
Grandpa nodded.
Then he said,
"Let's just focus on our own matters and not his. Let's pack up and go to the river to take a look.”
"Take seven rolls of straw mats and go to the backyard to catch a big red rooster. Remember to pour some grain into the chicken coop. Don't starve to death.”
Su Ming responded and walked towards the backyard.
Hei Niu didn't stay idle after eating and busied herself with Su Ming.
It seemed to be able to see Marinda as well. It even raised its head and stared at Marinda a few times.
Su Ming saw that Hei Niu didn't call out, so he asked curiously,"
"Susu, why didn't Hei Niu reject you or call you?”
Marinda giggled and said,"Didn't you hear what Grandpa said just now? You are me, and I am you."
"He likes you, so he naturally doesn't dislike me and isn't afraid of me!”
Su Ming felt that it made sense.
"You are me, and I am you? Then really, on that day when I wasn't around, what happened? Would you?"
Su Ming naturally thought of this question and asked casually.
Susu hurriedly said,"Bah!"
"Don't spout nonsense here. I've only fused with your bloodline for less than two days. I don't want to die so early!”
Su Ming was confused.
Even the gods and magical artifacts care about these things.
......
After everything was ready, Su Ming carried the corpse net and the rooster as usual.
Grandpa was carrying a yellow cloth bag, a mahogany sword on his back, and a corpse rope tied around his waist.
He also tied a black rope around Su Ming's waist.
When he tied the rope, his grandfather said seriously,""This is a new corpse binding rope. Now that you have a magic tool, you naturally need a corpse binding rope. From now on, you'll be an official corpse fisherman.”
Su Ming looked at the corpse rope around his waist. It seemed to be darker than his grandfather's rope. He asked,"Grandpa, the color of my rope is a little different from yours. Is it because of this update?”
Grandpa pulled out the rope around his waist and said,"Take a closer look. This rope is actually hemp rope, but it's mixed with a lot of black hair. This black hair was taken from Hei Niu's body.”
Su Ming suddenly realized," Hei Niu's fur is so smooth because you often comb it and collect dog fur!”
"This is also part of the reason. The main reason is that Hei Niu's fur has the effect of exorcism."”
.......
After leaving the door, he also lit nine incense sticks and kowtowed in four directions.
After placing the incense stick, he closed the door.
Su Ming tied the seven rolls of straw mats he had taken out with ropes and then carried them on his back.
Because it was a straw mat made by his grandfather, it was especially thin and light. Su Ming didn't feel heavy on his back.
He walked towards the dock.
Su Ming and his grandfather walked side by side. He said,""Grandpa, why didn't you refuse this time? Instead, you agreed to help him settle this matter. Is it all because you can let me train?”
"Logically speaking, retrieving a corpse is a good deed, so that the dead can return to their hometown and rest in peace."”
"It's not easy for these people to work on the battlefield. It's a good thing to help them. Moreover, we're not going to make this trip for free.”
"Yes!"
Grandpa continued,"From now on, you'll be the person who fishes corpses out of the water. You have to get familiar with it as soon as possible."”
"These rules passed down by our ancestors cannot be abandoned. Today, you will be the one to sacrifice to the Yellow River King!”
Su Ming naturally understood what his grandfather meant.
"Good!"
Soon, the two of them arrived at the dock.
Seeing a few middle-aged men fishing by the river, they also noticed Su Ming and his grandfather.
Seeing Grandpa and Su Ming's attire and the things they brought along, one of the fishermen said as he put away his fishing rod,"
"Yo, Su Yu, are you going to take your eldest grandson out of the boat?”
Grandpa didn't say much and simply said one word.
"Yes!"
The others turned around and saw their grandfather walking towards the boat on the shore. They all put away their fishing tools and left.
Su Ming glanced at these people, and they all avoided them.
He knew that these people were afraid that they would offend the Yellow River King during the sacrifice.
The vast river was still filled with surging yellow water.
A cool breeze mixed with the unique smell of the river blew in his face.
Su Ming took the anchor rope and walked onto the deck of the boat.
He placed the net and straw mat into the boat.
Grandpa pulled out a black dagger from the yellow cloth bag.
Su Ming took the black dagger from his grandfather and thought about how his grandfather used to chop off chicken heads.
He looked at the big red rooster in his hand that was glaring at him. He took a deep breath and cut off the rooster's head with a wave of his hand.
Then, he sprinkled the chicken blood on the bow deck.
She cleared her throat and sang the sacrificial song according to the way her grandfather had sung before.
"Dear King…"
"You have to bless your children and grandchildren…"
"You're an immortal god…you can send all the wandering souls back!”
At the beginning, he was a little unnatural. When he heard his grandfather sing along, he sang loudly.
It was as if the distant valley was faintly echoing with the strange tone of the grandfather and grandson pair.
" Let the wandering souls go back…"
" Give us a safe Yellow River Ancient Path…Yiyahey…Yiyayo…"
