Chapter 254
Chapter 254
When Li Chen saw the eldest aunt coming over, he had already guessed that the entire people in Nanliu Village must know that they were "catching ghosts".
It seems that this so-called "ghost" must be caught today, otherwise the villagers will not believe what they say.
"Great aunt, don't worry, I will be fine. And whether there are ghosts in this world, there is currently no conclusion. Even if there is, in broad daylight, what are we afraid of it for? Li Chen replied.
"But the villagers say that this place is haunted at night, and your uncle told me last night that he did hear ghost cries here at night, like a baby crying." Chen Huijuan continued to persuade.
"Aunt, listen to me, the sound of babies crying here at night should be true. The villagers did not hear this wrong, and the uncle did not hear it wrong.
"Since you believe that there are babies crying here at night, then you dare to catch ghosts?"
"Aunt, don't worry, I'm not done yet. The crying of these babies is not made by a ghost, but by a creature called a baby fish. Li Chen explained patiently.
For others, Li Chen may not be too lazy to explain too much.
But Chen Huijuan is different, she is her eldest aunt, she has loved herself very much since she was a child, and since her parents were gone, she has always treated herself like a son, so Li Chen doesn't want her to worry too much about herself.
"Doll fish? What kind of thing is this? How did I not hear about it?
Chen Huijuan had a puzzled expression.
"Great aunt, baby fish is a precious wild animal produced by China, although the name is called "baby fish", but it is not a fish, but an amphibian. This creature should make the same sound as a doll's cry, hence the nickname Doll Fish. Li Chen continued to explain to Chen Huijuan.
"Is there such a strange thing in the world? How do you know? I'm dozens of years old, why haven't I heard of it? I haven't heard your uncle mention it either? "
During this period in 1998, Nanliu Village was relatively remote and backward, and many conservative women did not know much about some creatures.
Chen Huijuan is the kind of traditional conservative woman, so it is understandable that she has not heard of the doll fish.
After all, this kind of baby fish is relatively rare, and if you don't encounter it, you naturally won't know about it.
Even if they encounter it, some people don't know that it is called a doll fish, maybe it is possible to treat it as a monster.
"Big aunt, there are fewer baby fish, and it is more difficult to meet. It is also a protective creature in our country, which is very rare, and it is normal that you don't know. Li Chen replied.
"Xiaochen, are you really sure that the ghost cries heard by the villagers were sent by this so-called baby fish?" Chen Huijuan still had a little disbelieving expression.
"I'm also guessing that I'll find them later. But rest assured, the crying that the villagers heard was definitely not from a ghost.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to Xiao Han." Lest she worry and fear you. This kid just loves you too much, so I'm afraid something will happen to you.
After that, Chen Huijuan turned around and went back.
Li Chen also guessed that Ye Xiaohan would definitely worry about his safety after hearing the villagers' talk.
This woman is like this, she is deeply in love with herself in her bones. Even if she used to be a scumbag and a jerk, her love for herself has never disappeared.
Even if she wanted to commit suicide that day, it was because she couldn't see the hope of life and couldn't see the future, so she didn't want to live, not because she didn't love herself.
"Li Chen, I brought the big bucket. By the way, I also took a talisman from home. My mother said that this was painted by Zhang Tianshi for her before, and it was not a big problem to deal with ordinary ghosts. "
The dog was fast enough on Tuesday to come running over with a large bucket.
"Two dogs, the spirit talisman is not needed, with this big barrel, I can subdue the ghosts in this mountain pond." You just wait on the shore.
Li Chen smiled, and then directly pulled up his trouser legs and walked to the entrance where the spring water flowed into the mountain pond.
According to the memories of his previous life, he remembered that these baby fish were hidden at the entrance of the water flow, where the water was cool and the water and grass were luxuriant, and this location just matched all the characteristics.
"Li Chen, what are you touching? Didn't you say to catch ghosts? Tuesday
Dog saw that Li Chen seemed to be touching something in the dirt, so he asked curiously.
"Yes, I'm just catching ghosts, and you'll see the so-called ghosts in a while."
Li Chen replied and continued to search nearby.
After about five minutes, he finally found two baby fish.
This thing still appears in pairs, it seems that it must be a loving couple.
Li Chen's speed was very fast, and he immediately caught them all in the vat.
"Good fellow, you're not small. No wonder it scares the villagers at night.
Looking at the two baby fish about 70 centimeters long in the barrel, Li Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"Li Chen, what about the ghost you said? Caught it? I just seem to have seen you grab something and put it in the bucket?
"If you catch it, I'll bring the ghost up."
Li Chen smiled, and then directly carried two baby fish ashore.
", this is what you call a ghost. It's a pity that now it's a protected creature, otherwise it will be made into a few side dishes, which is delicious.
Li Chen put the bucket containing the baby fish in front of the Tuesday dog, and then said with a smile.
As soon as the dog heard about Tuesday, he immediately looked inside the barrel.
"Eh! What is this thing? Why is it so strange? It seems to have been seen, and it seems that it has not been seen. Tuesday
the dog looked curious.
"Ergou, you kid has less knowledge. This is called baby fish, which is very precious and very rare. Li Chen explained.
"Doll fish? This is the ghost you caught? Khan, you're so humorous.
"Yes, this is the ghost I caught, and it is also the ghost that many villagers have recently scared and dare not come here at night to release the fields." Li Chen replied affirmatively.
"Li Chen, don't tease me. The sixth aunt said that the ghost would cry like a baby at night, which was very terrifying. The two you caught are just special-looking creatures. What can they be scary about.
"Ergou, I didn't tease you. The crying that the villagers heard at night was made by these two baby fish. They are called doll fish because the sound they make is a bit like the cry of a doll. "
Is it really so evil?"
"Of course, you'll know in a moment. Let's bring this so-called ghost back now, and then let the villagers take a good look.
After that, Li Chen took back the big bucket containing the baby fish, and then asked the sixth aunt to inform the villagers to come and see the "ghosts" they caught.
"I heard Sixth Aunt say that Li Chen really caught the ghost of Shantang?"
"Yes, that's what Aunt Sixth said. But he is not a mage, how can he catch ghosts? And even if he is caught, this ghost can still be brought back by him?
"I think Li Chen is bragging, right? Where are the ghosts caught for him in broad daylight? He really has the ability to catch it at night?
"Let's go over and see if it's true or not..."
