Chapter 141: A Dispute Over Credit
“It’s said that the problem is in the section of the river below Wang Family Village. It’s too late to knock on doors and ask people now, so let’s just take a look here first.”
“Alright.”
The heroine found a small path leading to the riverbank.
It had rained last night, but fortunately, the recent warm weather and sunlight had dried the path. Under the moonlight, the path was a pale grayish-white, while the other areas were black. Even the puddles and cracks were dark, so it was easy for them to stay on course or avoid missteps.
As they approached the riverbank under the moonlight, the river water was calm.
“How do you plan to catch the ghost, heroine?”
The heroine said, “This water ghost has been quite rampant lately. If someone makes a noise by the river, whether it’s bathing or washing clothes, it will surely come if it’s at night.
“Coincidentally, I got into a fight today and broke a sweat but haven’t bathed yet. I’ll go down and lure it. If it’s just a regular water demon, I can deal with it with a single slash. If it’s a ghost, well, I borrowed a slaughtering knife from the butcher in the Western District. He slaughters dozens of pigs and sheep daily and said the knife works well on ghosts. We’ll see if it does the trick. If it doesn’t work, you can step in.”
“Heroine, you’re well-prepared.”
