"Xiao Hong Tang, can you wade through the water?"
With still over ten zhang to the shore, Hu Ma deliberately slowed down, quietly inquiring.
When Yang Gong's little messenger ghost went to the village to deliver a message, it was all wet.
He couldn't tell if it was like that originally or if it was due to crossing the river.
However, Hu Ma knew that sending messages and small items with little messenger ghosts was quite common in this world.
Yet, he had never asked Xiao Hong Tang to deliver anything, so he was unaware of any customs or taboos involved in sending items.
Xiao Hong Tang turned her little head and nodded vigorously, saying, "Xiao Hong Tang is not afraid of water, and I can dive too."
"That's impressive..."
Hu Ma praised her and was just thinking of arranging a task for her when Xiao Hong Tang thought for a moment and added, "But I can't go into the water now; there are things in the water."
"And there are people on the shore burning incense. They are fierce, and this is a warning to us that we can't send messages anymore. If we are discovered, we will be killed."
"If I go into the water now, they will see me, and I don't want to be beaten..."
"Of course not..."
Hu Ma also didn't want Xiao Hong Tang to be harmed, especially since if she were caught, it might not just be a beating.
