"Old Madam, this apple was exchanged for fish by my Zhenhua.”
The Deaf Old Lady looked at her with disdain.
"Is this true?"
Xu Lian Yun nodded.
"It's true."
She pointed at the wooden basin in the kitchen.
"Look, aren't there a lot of fish in there?”
The Deaf Granny looked over and frowned again.
"Fang family, did you run to the river last night?”
Fang Zhenhua answered.
"Yes, because I couldn't sleep, I went to hang out.”
The Deaf Granny became even angrier when she heard that.
"You said you weren't at home hugging your wife to sleep at night.”
"Why did you run to the river?"
"What if I fall in!”
Fang Zhenhua consoled.
"Don't worry, I won't fall."
"Even if I fall down, I can swim up by myself!”
Hearing him say this.
The Deaf Old Lady immediately let out a mocking laugh.
"Do you really think you can swim in the river just because you're good at swimming?”
"Do you really think you can swim in the river just because you're good at swimming?”
"I can tell you."
"Old Lady, I've lived this entire life."
"What kind of things have I not seen before?"
"Don't go to the river at night anymore.”
"Be careful of the water monkey pulling your leg."
"You won't be able to come up even if you want to!”
The water monkey was what the older generation called the water ghost.
Fang Zhenhua naturally knew. He smiled faintly.
"Old lady, you're being superstitious.”
"How can there be such things in this world?”
"It's all your elders who are scaring themselves!”
The deaf old lady was unhappy when she heard this.
"Hey, you brat!"
"Do you really think I'm joking with you?”
As she spoke, she sat on the stool in the room.
"Alright, since you don't believe me."
"Then today, I'll tell you what I saw with my own eyes when I was young!”
When he heard that the deaf old lady wanted to tell him a story, he was shocked.
Fang Ruoxuan, who was still sound asleep, immediately widened her eyes.
He got up from the bed.
"Story ~"
"Ruoxuan wants to hear it too!"
Fang Zhenhua was also quite interested.
After washing up with Fang Ruoxuan.
He placed the breakfast on the table.
He was prepared to listen while eating.
The deaf old lady cleared her throat and began to talk about what she had seen when she was young.
"I still remember that it was summer."
"I still remember that it was summer."
"The weather is very, very hot."
"It just so happened that a ghost came to our village.”
"To hide the people hiding in the village.”
"So we young women led the devil to the river.”
"Originally, we were thinking of crossing the water to escape.”
"To make time for the villagers to move.”
"I didn't expect to be captured by the Japanese.”
"They want to do bad things by pressing us in the water.”
"Just as we were in despair.”
"The water monkey is out."
"He's so accurate at catching those Japanese!”
"Just a few minutes."
"Dozens of Japanese were dragged into the water and drowned!”
"That's why we saved our village and our innocence!”
After listening to the story told by the deaf old lady.
Xu Lian Yun could not help but gulp.
He was obviously frightened.
Fang Ruoxuan did not know what a water monkey was, so she asked curiously.
"Old lady, what is a water monkey?”
The Deaf Old Lady did not hide anything and answered.
"It's a water ghost."
Fang Ruoxuan's small head was filled with confusion.
"What's a water ghost?"
The deaf old lady was about to explain.
Xu Lian Yun quickly interrupted.
"Old Madam, don't tell the child about this.”
"Be careful not to scare her."
However, Fang Zhenhua expressed.
"I'm fine."
"Children nowadays are not so delicate.”
"It's good for her to know some things earlier.”
He explained to Fang Ruoxuan.
"It's after a person drowns in the water.”
"The soul that was left behind."
"They hide in the water and wait for the right opportunity.”
"And then drag the living person down to be a substitute.”
"Do you understand?"
Fang Ruoxuan blinked her big eyes and nodded.
"I understand a little."
"It probably means a person who drowned in the water.”
"You'll randomly capture those bad guys as substitutes, right?”
Whoa.
This girl had such comprehension at such a young age!
When he grows up, he will definitely be a talent for building the country!
Then, Fang Zhenhua asked the Deaf Old Lady.
"Old Lady, what happened after that?"
"It can't be over like this, right?”
The deaf old lady nodded.
"Speaking of which, this matter was quite strange at that time.”
"I remember it clearly."
"A total of eleven people went that day.”
"But when the water monkey dragged all those devils into the water and drowned them, the water monkey was still alive.”
"Only ten of us returned to the village.”
"No matter how much I ask my companions that day.”
"No matter how much I ask my companions that day.”
"They all replied that only ten people went.”
"And I can't remember that person's appearance or name.”
"So let this matter pass.”
" But I've always believed in you."
"That extra person is the water monkey!”
Xu Lian Yun felt a chill down her spine.
He stared at Fang Zhenhua and said.
"Zhenhua, promise me."
"From now on, don't go to the river at night again!”
Looking at her flustered appearance.
Fang Zhenhua found it funny.
He comforted her.
"Alright, I got it."
"Let's not talk about this."
"Let's eat!"
Although Fang Zhenhua did not seem to be affected by this story on the surface.
However, he trusted the Deaf Old Lady.
After all, there were indeed many situations in the world that could not be explained by science.
What exactly were they?
In fact, many people knew this very well.
Just as they were having breakfast.
Someone knocked on the door and a voice came in.
"Excuse me, is this Fang Zhenhua's home?”
They looked over and saw a middle-aged woman.
Fang Zhenhua recognized the person at a glance. He put down the steamed bun in his hand and stood up to welcome him.
"Sister Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Haiyan stood at the door and smiled faintly.
"Isn't it Monday tomorrow?"
"Isn't it Monday tomorrow?"
"I just happened to pass by here."
"I wanted to inform you about work.”
"Don't forget."
Fang Zhenhua nodded.
"How could I forget?"
"I remember it in my heart!"
Xu Haiyan was somewhat satisfied.
"Since you remember, I'll go first.。。。。。”
Before she could finish her sentence.
Fang Zhenhua said.
"Sister Xu, you haven't eaten yet, right?”
"Come, sit in the house. Let's make do and eat.”
Xu Haiyan was embarrassed.
"Aiya, look."
"How embarrassing."
"It's as if I'm here to freeload.”
Fang Zhenhua waved his hand.
"Our family doesn't like this kind of saying."
Xu Haiyan nodded in her heart.
He was quite good at talking.
He didn't refuse and walked into the house.
When she saw the breakfast on the table.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
Good heavens.
There were steamed buns, salted duck eggs, and rice porridge.
Was this a breakfast that ordinary people could afford?
Xu Haiyan stared at the food on the table in a daze.
At this moment, the deaf old lady called out to her.
"Xu family, why are you so blind? Why are you staring at the table?”
Hearing this.
Xu Haiyan turned her gaze over and was immediately shocked.
"Old Madam, you're here too!"
The Deaf Old Lady said unhappily.
"Why? Can't I eat in my own house?”
Xu Haiyan quickly waved her hand.
"Old Madam, what are you saying?"
"I didn't mean that."
As she spoke, she suddenly reacted.
"Old Madam, you mean at home?"
"What's your relationship with Fang Zhenhua?”
The deaf old lady laughed.
"He has a complicated relationship with me!”
Hearing this, Xu Haiyan was stunned.
She could never have thought of it.
Fang Zhenhua was actually related to this old lady.
And it was quite complicated!
Listening to the conversation between the two of them.
Fang Zhenhua was curious.
"Old Madam, do you know each other?”
The deaf old lady nodded.
"Of course I know her. I've seen her grow up.”
"Her grandmother, when she was still alive.”
"But you've been out with me a lot!”
"Oh, right."
"It's one of the stories I told you just now.”
"It's one of the stories I told you just now.”
Fang Zhenhua was shocked.
Who would have thought that the plot was actually a drama series!
Xu Haiyan was a little curious.
"What story were you talking about just now?”
Fang Zhenhua answered.
"It's about the old lady's encounter with the water monkey.”
Xu Haiyan nodded.
"So it's about this."
"Grandma told me about it when I was young.”
"He said that it was when you were dealing with the devils by the river.”
"I met the water monkey."
She paused.
"Old Madam, let me tell you."
"This is feudal superstition."
"It's fine if you tell us."
"Don't spread it out.”
The Deaf Granny nodded in response.
"I know."
"I'm not stupid."
At this point, she changed the topic.
"By the way, you mentioned work just now."
"My Zhenhua works at your place?”
Xu Haiyan replied with a faint smile.
"Yes, I am."
"He is now an employee of our supply and marketing cooperative.”
"You can go to work tomorrow."
"Didn't I come here specially to inform him?”
Hearing this.
The deaf old lady was beaming with joy.
"Alright, alright."
"This kid really didn't lie to me."
Xu Lian Yun's face was also full of smiles.
After saying that.
Xu Haiyan stood up and said goodbye.
"Old Madam, I'll be leaving first."
"There are still things waiting for me to handle over there.”
The deaf old lady nodded.
"Go, go."
"Just remember to come and visit me when you have time.”
As he spoke, he called out to Fang Zhenhua.
"Zhenhua, go see her off."
Fang Zhenhua replied.
He sent Xu Haiyan out.
Coincidentally, this scene was seen by the people who went out to work in the courtyard.
Lou Xiao'e was a little puzzled.
"It's so early in the morning. Who did Fang Zhenhua send?”
"I don't remember them having any relatives.”
Others did not know Xu Haiyan.
But Xu Damao, who played movies outside all day, knew him.
He explained to Lou Xiao'e.
"That person is the president of the North City's supply and marketing cooperative.”
"You have to know that she's the only one in our ten miles and eight villages.”
"In terms of official positions,"
"He's not any younger than the director of the rolling mill."
Hearing this.
Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face filled with disbelief.
"Really?"
"Fang Zhenhua knows this person?”
