The summer night sky is filled with stars.

The yard is as bright as day.

The breeze blows gently, bringing a bit of coolness.

But this time, Liu Nanfeng also saw his message clearly.

Name: Liu Yuancai

Race: water ghost

Daoxing: forty-seven years

Identity: A spirit in water, invisible and formless, escaping when it encounters water.

Antecedent: Not triggered.

Seeing the little boy's timid appearance, Liu Nanfeng also smiled and said hello.

"this is for you."

He handed forward the two fish strung on the straw rope in his hand.

Liu Nanfeng was not polite and stepped forward to take it.

"Thank you." Liu Nanfeng said.

The little boy pursed his lips, but in the end he said nothing.

"Come and sit." Liu Nanfeng carried two fishes and walked to the bench next to him and greeted.

It was moved out for playing mahjong in the evening and has not been taken back.

The little boy hesitated for a moment, then walked over, leaving wet footprints.

"Wait a moment, I'll put the fish in the kitchen." Liu Nanfeng said.

The little boy nodded.

The two fish were still alive, so Liu Nanfeng put them into the pool, added some water, then took a watermelon and walked out.

"Want to eat watermelon?" Liu Nanfeng asked with a smile.

The little boy looked at Liu Nanfeng in surprise, and then asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Will you harm me?" Liu Nanfeng asked.

The little boy shook his head.

"That's it? My name is Liu Nanfeng, what's your name?" Liu Nanfeng asked.

Although he already knew the little boy's name.

"Ah Cai."

"Uh...what's your name?"

The little boy blinked, then shook his head and said, "Everyone calls me Ah Cai."

He still seems to be a confused person.

Well, actually in those days, there were quite a few rural children who didn’t know their own names.

"Can you eat watermelon?" Liu Nanfeng asked.

Ah Cai nodded.

So Liu Nanfeng cut the watermelon and handed him a piece.

"Thanks."

Ah Cai took it and was quite polite.

He put his mouth to the watermelon and took a deep breath. All the water in the watermelon was sucked away and it became dry and flat very quickly.

"There's still a lot here, take your time and eat."

Liu Nanfeng pushed the cut watermelon in front of him and sat down next to him.

Then he asked: "Why did you come to see me in the middle of the night?"

Hearing Liu Nanfeng ask this, he stopped eating the watermelon, raised his head, and said with a joyful face: "You are the first person who can see me."

Then he looked gloomy and said with some sadness: "No one else can see me."

Liu Nanfeng heard this and looked at him carefully under the moonlight.

He was about six or seven years old. He had a shaved head and was wearing a blue vest that exposed his dark skin. He was wearing military green shorts tied around his waist with a rope. He had no shoes on his feet and was sitting barefoot on a stool.

, dripping water continuously.

"real?"

"Well, of course it's true. In fact, two people saw me today, but they were not human. They... they... were scary."

Ah Cai said, turning his head to look at the house behind him.

Liu Nanfeng knew that he should be talking about Su Jinxiu and Zhan Zhongxiao.

Both of them, no matter which one is much stronger than Ah Cai, his instinct to ward off evil and evil scares him. If he hadn't waited for many years for someone to see him, he wouldn't have done it tonight.

Come.

"You haven't told me yet, what do you want from me?" Liu Nanfeng asked again

When Ah Cai heard this, he rubbed his hands uneasily. Water flowed down from his body. It was obvious that he was very nervous.

It was also mixed with a lot of bright red liquid, which looked a bit scary, but in fact it was the watermelon juice he had just eaten.

"It's okay, just tell me if you have anything to do."

"Can you, can you help me find Awang?"

"Awang?"

Liu Nanfeng was a little surprised when he heard this. Is this another little boy?

Ah Cai nodded, and then said: "Ah Wang is my best friend."

"Is that so? Do you have anything to do with him? You just said that I am the first person who can see you, so even if I find him, he can't see you."

"You don't need to see me. I want to tell him that I have found his little wooden boat..."

Ah Cai's voice became choked as he spoke.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, but more water came down.

"I will return the wooden boat to him. He should not ignore me and continue to be my friend."

"Okay, don't be sad, I will definitely help you find him."

Liu Nanfeng reached out and wanted to pat him gently, but as soon as he touched him, the darkness of the night receded in front of him like the tide.

The light exploded brightly, making his vision blurry.

But in my ears I could hear the chirping of cicadas, the crow of chickens, the barking of dogs, the lowing of cows, and the sound of children playing.

His vision gradually recovered. Liu Nanfeng knew that this was memory recall, but he felt very strange.

Why did he become temporarily blind due to a sudden light during memory recall?

This is completely unreasonable? You know, he doesn't even have a body now, how can he be blind?

But before he could think about it, he saw two children running past him.

"Awang, Awang, play with me, play with me..."

It was Ah Cai who spoke.

Running in front was Ah Wang, a little boy about the same age as Ah Cai.

He was shirtless, wearing dark blue shorts, and had dark skin. Like Ah Cai, he was barefoot.

He held a small wooden boat high in his hand. The shape was very rough, as if it was hollowed out from a piece of wood.

But this made Ah Cai envious behind him.

"Ah Cai, can we go boating in the river together?"

"good."

Ah Cai happily agreed.

So on this hot afternoon, the two little boys stepped on the hot ground and ran to the river.

"Did you drown like this?"

Liu Nanfeng followed them curiously.

Soon they came to the polder of Donghui River.

The scenery on the polder was quite different from what he saw during the day.

At this time, the Donghui River was not only much narrower, but there were not many trees on both sides, and they were all weeds and thorns.

Among the thorns, there is a trampled loess road that winds to the river.

The two little boys followed this path to the river.

When passing by the roadside, they also pulled some wild flowers and put them in the boat. They also took two thorn strips in their hands and whizzed at the wild flowers and weeds on the roadside as they walked, causing the grass clippings to fly.

Just by looking at their posture, you can tell they are two naughty little guys.

When they came to the shore, Liu Nanfeng discovered that there were some stones and wooden boards paved near the river, presumably used by villagers to wash rice and wash clothes.

The two little guys put the wooden boat into the water, used the thorn strips in their hands to catch the waves, and made the wooden boat ripple in the water.

"The weather is so hot, Ah Cai, let's take a bath in the water?" Awang looked up at the sun in the sky, and then said to Ah Cai.

For some reason, Liu Nanfeng felt vaguely familiar when he saw Awang's appearance.

"Will the water here be very deep?" Ah Cai asked hesitantly.
