Chapter 81 The sound of wooden fish in the middle of the night

After cheering, everyone tied the python to a bamboo pole and prepared to carry it back to the village for display.

The fourth uncle also picked up the wooden fish and said it was their trophy.

I worriedly persuaded my fourth uncle that this wooden fish was not an ordinary thing. It was probably a shady object. It was best to burn it on the spot to avoid causing any trouble to the villagers.

The fourth uncle was naturally not happy, saying that the wooden fish lump had been in the python's belly for an unknown number of years, and its medicinal value must be very high, even worse than ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

My fourth uncle became a little unhappy after I tried to persuade him again and again, and I was too lazy to continue talking nonsense. I knew that sooner or later he would regret it.

As soon as the big python was brought back, it caused a sensation in the whole village, and everyone came to watch the fun. Fourth uncle said that there would be a large bonfire party tonight as a celebration.

The party was a success. Everyone jumped around the boa constrictor. Finally, the boa constrictor was burned clean by fire. The remaining skeleton was made into ornaments, which were covered with flowers. They were indeed very beautiful.

As for the wooden fish, it was kept at home by my fourth uncle like a treasure.

Yin Xinyue saw that I was depressed the whole time and asked me what was going on?

So I told Yin Xinyue my concerns, and Yin Xinyue immediately advised me not to think too much. This matter shouldn't be that complicated, it's just a big python.

Since the boa constrictor is unwilling to harm the villagers before it dies, then it will probably not harm the villagers after its death, right?

I sighed and said it was best this way.

However, things are unpredictable, and disaster happened soon...

That night, I was in a daze when I was suddenly awakened by the sound of knocking on wooden fish.

At first, I thought it was due to excessive psychological pressure and auditory hallucinations. But when I listened carefully, the sound became clearer and clearer, and the layers of wooden fish sounds made people feel like they had a splitting headache.

I quickly woke up Li Mazi and asked him if he heard anything.

Li Mazi shook his head and said, "You must be sick. Who would be so busy knocking wooden fish in the middle of the night?"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to sleep.

Strange, why did I hear it so clearly, but Li Mazi didn't hear it? I felt that this was very abnormal. After thinking about it, I decided to go to my fourth uncle’s house to have a look.

In case something evil is causing trouble, I will be prepared in advance.

However, when I walked out of the door, the sound of knocking on the wooden fish disappeared. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe I was overthinking it.

The next day, Yin Xinyue offered to take us around to see the scenery, but I had no thoughts at all. My mind was full of wooden fish.

At night, the sound of knocking wooden fish reached my ears again. After all kinds of suffering, I finally decided to visit my fourth uncle's house.

After making up my mind, I put on my clothes and headed to my fourth uncle's house.

The night was very dark and quiet, and there were stars in the sky, but they stingily did not give any light to the village. The brightness of the flashlight was limited, so I couldn't see very far. Occasionally, a cool breeze blew, which made me shiver.

When I passed the python skeleton, I heard the whining sound of the wind blowing through the skeleton, as if someone was crying.

So I immediately used a flashlight to take a look at the python skeleton.

The skeleton hangs quietly on the tree. Occasionally a gust of wind blows and it will sway slightly, and the flowers on it fall all over the ground.

The white bones, the ferocious python head, and the swaying body were really scary. I couldn't help but speed up my pace.

Soon, I arrived at my fourth uncle’s residence.

The door to Fourth Uncle's residence was locked, and when I got closer, I keenly discovered that the sound of knocking on wooden fish came from Fourth Uncle's room.

I quickly jumped over the wall and tiptoed toward my fourth uncle's room. When I pushed the window of my fourth uncle's room open a crack and saw the scene inside, I was speechless.

I never expected that my fourth uncle was knocking on wooden fish at this moment!

He had his eyes closed, but every blow hit the wooden fish accurately.

Moreover, his expression was stiff and his movements were dull, as if he was sleepwalking.

What's happening here?

Suddenly, the fourth uncle's movements stopped. He carefully picked up the wooden fish, then aimed at the gap in the middle of the wooden fish, puffed up his mouth and blew air into it.

He blew for a very long time without any ventilation at all.

By the end, his face was red from suppressing it, and his eyes suddenly opened. His bloodshot eyes seemed to be bulging out at any time, which was very scary.

I was really worried that he would suffocate himself to death in one breath, so I wanted to go in and pull the wooden fish away. Fortunately, the fourth uncle blew for about half a minute, took a deep breath, then placed the wooden fish on the table and continued to beat it.

Throughout the night, he repeated these two actions over and over again.

The strange thing is that even though the fourth uncle's wife slept in the same room as him, she was not woken up and occasionally heard snoring.

No one else in the village could hear the sound of the wooden fish.

This is strange, why can I hear it even though they are so far away, but they can't? I vaguely feel that the origin of this wooden fish is not simple, it is 100% a yin object.

I can't disturb my fourth uncle now, because I heard that waking up a sleepwalker will cause him to become dementia.

So I kept watch outside until the sound of roosters crow came from the village, and then my fourth uncle put down the wooden fish and got into bed to sleep.

After dawn, I secretly told Li Mazi what I had discovered.

After hearing this, Li Mazi's first reaction was fear, and his second reaction was excitement. He said that this wooden fish is a treasure. It must have been left by the roadblock. I wonder how much Grandpa Mao can sell it?

I smoked a cigarette, forced myself to calm down, and said to Li Mazi: "Although this thing is a treasure, we can't take it away because I have never heard of such a sinister thing. If I take it back, I'm afraid I will suffer the consequences." !”

My only thought now is to burn the wooden fish. Maybe as the wooden fish is burned, the ghost living inside will also rest in peace.

Li Mazi was a little disappointed and asked me if there was no other way?

I had a headache for a while, shook my head and said there was no good solution for the time being...

What I'm most worried about now is that even if I tell my fourth uncle that there's something wrong with the wooden fish, he probably won't believe me, and I can't take the wooden fish away by force.

After thinking for a long time, I decided to go find Yin Xinyue. She is a native of this place, maybe she can convince Fourth Uncle!
