Chapter 118: Water Ghost

  The village boys' suspicion really made the proud Fan Yige very angry, so he loudly announced: "I'll go catch it right now and let you guys take a look!"

  The entire audience was silent as if all the crows and sparrows had stopped chirping.

  "Boasting is okay, but don't actually go, or you'll get eaten by the ghosts at Gui Hu." The young villagers were cautious about this and didn't dare to urge Fan Yi to go, instead they even tried to dissuade him.

  "I'm not afraid, it's just a water ghost, even if it's a monster I can catch it and show you all!" Fan Yinan was too proud to give up in front of so many companions, besides he really wasn't afraid, after all his strength wasn't weak, why fear a small ghost. At the same time, he also thought that since Li Mang already knew this mountain lake was not clean, it's impossible for him to let the ghosts continue to haunt below, he must have cleared them out already.

  So, this trip is absolutely safe, what's there to be afraid of? Don't look at Fan Yige's big head, but in fact, he's actually very clever!

  "Come on, I'll take you guys to catch ghosts!" The more he thought about Fan Yi, the more he couldn't help but smile secretly. With a wave of his small hand, he led the way towards Ghost Lake.

  "Hey, aren't you afraid of death?!" The little buddies from Peach Village were frightened pale and hastily shouted at Fan Yi's back.

  "Are you afraid of death?" Fan Yiniu retorted with a huff.

  "Who's afraid of death!" The young villagers of Peach Village were also hot-blooded, how could they tolerate Fan Yi's repeated provocations, so as soon as Fan Yi's words came out, he received a group of angry stares.

  "Brother Jie, don't be impulsive, we can't go to Gui Hu." Among the young companions, there were still calm and collected individuals, such as Xiao Long, who had almost lost his life earlier. He was adamant that he would never set foot on the banks of Gui Hu again and strongly discouraged his companions from going. Others might have only heard about it, but he had personally experienced the feeling of death, which was truly unbearable.

  When they heard him say that, the rest of the kids couldn't help but hesitate, as the reputation of Gui Hu was really too frightening, and their parents and elders would often warn them from time to time.

  "What's there to be afraid of? I heard the Ghost Lake has been cleaned up and is going to be developed into an amusement park. As long as we don't go into the water, nothing will happen, don't worry, let's go!" But the young man who was called Jie Ge was full of youthful vigor and couldn't stand Fan Yi's arrogance.

  "That's right, our Taohuaxiang village isn't afraid of anyone!" When young people are hot-blooded, even though they're only in their teens or younger. But this doesn't interfere with the hot blood in their bodies.

  "Hey, you can't go! You really can't go!" Xiaolong stood still, shouting loudly, but no one listened. He was so anxious that he sweated profusely on the spot. Go to Guihu? He would never go there, no matter what. He scratched his head and turned around to walk towards the village. He thought it was necessary to inform everyone in the village about everything.

  Xiao Yangzhou's home entrance, at this time Li Meng was chatting with a family, it was Xiaolong's family of several mouths.

  "Mr. Li, last time you saved our child, but we didn't get a chance to thank you in person at the hospital. Now we must express our gratitude to you!" An old man stood with his cane, shaking and thanking Li Meng.

  "Don't be polite, old man. It's what I should have done. At that time, everyone was helping out, it's just that I was lucky enough to find the person." Li Mang said with a smile.

  "But everyone couldn't find it, if not for you, Xiaolong would have been gone... We actually don't have much to repay you, in the future if there's anything that needs help at the mountain villa, our whole family will do our best to assist." The old man's words were very sincere and simple.

  Li Mang actually didn't want to receive such a grand gift, after all, saving the little dragon was just an impulsive act, but he also understood. If he didn't accept it, it would make them feel uneasy, so he smiled and said: "The mountain villa is newly established, there are still many places that need the help of fellow villagers, and in the future, we will also need your care to operate."

  "Really! Really!" The old man and his family were indeed overjoyed upon hearing this, as if they had fulfilled a long-held wish. Their previously solemn expressions suddenly relaxed.

  "Oh no! Oh no! Oh no......"

  The shouting from the top of the mountain made everyone present involuntarily tighten their hearts and look towards Xiaolong, who was hastily running down from the front.

  "No... nothing... wrong..." Xiaolong opened his mouth several times, but because he was running too fast, he couldn't say a complete sentence.

  "Don't be anxious, little dragon, speak up quickly!" Little Dragon's father saw that his son was so anxious that he couldn't speak, and hurriedly patted his back to calm him down.

  "They... they went to Ghost Lake!" Little Dragon panted heavily, finally able to get the words out, but causing the faces of the people in Taohua Village to change greatly.

  "What nonsense! Didn't I tell them not to go to that place!" The old man angrily struck the ground with his cane, and despite his advanced age, the force of his blow created a deep pit in the earth, revealing the depth of his fear and resentment towards Gui Hu.

  "It was Fan who insisted on going..." Xiaolong explained reluctantly.

  "Hmm..." Li Meng was taken aback, but in fact, he had already suspected that Fan Yi was involved when he heard about the incident. After all, it wasn't long ago that Xiaolong drowned, and the children of Taoshan Village wouldn't dare to take risks on their own; only a foolish person like his brother would go to such a place.

  Although Gui Hu won't have any more supernatural occurrences, considering the feelings of the villagers in Tao Xiang Village, Li Mang hesitated for a moment before saying: "I'll go with Yang Zhou to call them back!"

  …

  At this time, Fan Yi had already taken a step forward to the Ghost Lake Dam, looking at the calm and peaceful mountain lake in front of him, he couldn't help but curl his lip. Turning his head back, seeing those little companions being somewhat afraid to get close, he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "It's just an ordinary pond, what ghost? I think you're all just pretending to be brave, or else you're just cowardly!"

  "Don't spit blood at people!" The young villagers of Peach Village glared at each other in anger.

  "Am I going to spit blood? Then you tell me, where is the Water Ghost?" Fan Yi was relentless.

  "You'll only get caught if you go down, of course you can't see from where you're standing!" 'Jie Ge' retorted.

  "Alright, I'll go take a bath now. Remember to call me when you're done!" But Fan Yi was unstoppable once he got going, and without even taking off his clothes, he leaped into the lake.

  "...All the kids on the embankment were stunned, they really didn't expect Fan Yi to actually jump."

  "Haha, this water is still very clear, do you want to come down and swim?" Fan Yide laughed proudly, continuing to swim towards the center of the lake.

  "Fan Yi, hurry up and come here!"

  "Hurry up! There really is a water ghost!"

  The children on the shore were in a great hurry, shouting loudly to ask Fan Yi to come ashore. But Fan Yi didn't believe there would be any ghosts here, and even if there were, he wasn't afraid, so he naturally didn't listen, and instead quickly swam to the center of the lake, playing alone on the water's surface, laughing and splashing around in a joyful manner.

  "Whoosh...... Ah!"

  However, a sudden change occurred, accompanied by the sound of splashing and shouting. Fan Yi in the middle of the lake seemed to be pulled down quickly by something, leaving only rolling waves on the water surface.

  “……”

  "Ahh... Water Ghost!"

  The shore was initially quiet, but as the first person shouted out loud, the others were also startled awake, and with blank minds, they ran back and forth wildly. One of them accidentally fell to the ground, and in the end, he cried and followed behind, running back.
