“...... After persuading for a while, the mother of the little doll was persuaded to stop...... As soon as the person next to her let go of her hand, she fell to the ground again, and fell to her knees, holding her child, and crying so much...... The father of the child, standing next to the corpse of his child, also kept his head down, and could not say a word......

The rest of the people in the village were standing a little far away from the river, and they were a little hairy in their hearts when they looked at the children who were still open, staring at their eyes and mouths open......

Exhaled again, the middle-aged man calmed down, still with some fear in his eyes, his voice trembled a little, and said,

“...... When the child's body was finally brought back, several villagers were afraid to move...... Although I also feel a little hairy in my heart, it is impossible to let the child be placed on the edge of the river, the child's mother is already crying all over her body, the child's father is alone, the child's clothes are soaked in water, and he can't hold it...... So I helped to lift the child by the feet, and the father of the child carried the child back......

...... The little doll was already cold, I don't know how long it had been soaked in the river, the skin on his feet and neck was already a little swollen, I pinched his feet and neck, lifted, I always felt that the skin on his feet was going to stick to my hands......"

Taking another deep breath, the middle-aged man held the tea and paused again,

In the courtyard, several people were silent.

On the other end of the phone, Lian Ge didn't say much, just waited quietly,

On both ends of the phone, it became quieter.

......

“...... After carrying the child back into the house, I and some of the villagers who had come out to help didn't stay any longer...... When I looked at the child, I felt a little hairy in my heart, so I went back separately......"

Holding the somewhat deformed paper cup, the middle-aged man continued,

“...... This thing is really weird, evil sect...... The next day, the villagers discussed it, and thought that they had to ask a gentleman to come over and see what was going on...... It is better to give the two little dolls who drowned in the river too much, lest they ......

...... I scraped together some money from one household...... Those two households made up a little more, which is considered to be more than the money of the two little dolls......"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man paused.

On the side, Second Uncle Lian, who walked away and came back with a teapot, heard the sound and couldn't help but say something out loud,

“...... I'm afraid that the people in your village think that it is the fault of those two families, that they have done evil and harmed you, so that those two families have more money. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was silent and did not respond.

Second Uncle Lian carried the teapot, took the paper cup in the middle-aged man's hand, added some tea in the paper cup, handed it back to the middle-aged man, put the teapot on the stone table, didn't say anything more, and walked back to the side.

“...... After scraping together the money, that afternoon, the village went to the next town and invited a master to come back...... It's an old Taoist priest. ”

Holding a paper cup remixed with some tea, the middle-aged man took a sip, calmed down a little, and continued,

“...... When I brought the master back from the town, it was already evening, and I arrived at the village. After entertaining the master for a meal, I and a few people from the village took the master to that place......"

“...... At that time, it was already dark, and the river was pitch black, and several people were flashlights, and the light seemed to shine on the river......

When we reached the top of the steps leading up to the river, the master stopped, looked at the river, and told us, telling us that there were indeed water ghosts and two children on the river...... One is trapped in the water and can't break free, and the other is already floating on the surface of the water, but hasn't left yet......"

The middle-aged man said, paused again, and held the paper cup with tea in his hand and squeezed it tighter.

“...... We hurriedly asked if there was any way to overkill those two little dolls, lest they create evil again...... When the master listened to us, he turned his head to look at the river, and did not answer for a long time...... I hurriedly begged him to think of a way to save the people in the village...... He listened to our pleadings, and then turned his head a little bit, and looked at me and a few of the villagers, just as he was about to speak...... Suddenly, as if he had been struck and pushed by something behind him, he fell down the steps into the river and fell into the river......"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's eyes showed some fear, as if he had seen the terrifying scene again,

“...... Seeing that the master seemed to be pushed into the river, I and a few villagers felt a little hairy...... Looking at the river, he didn't dare to jump into the river to save the master, so he could only pull a few people, hand by hand, to the bottom of the steps, and reach the master in the river...... The old master couldn't swim either, so he choked on a lot of water in the river...... But fortunately, the place where he fell was not very far from the river bank, and the water was not much rushed that day...... After two more strokes, he reached the master's hand and pulled him out of the river......

“...... When he got up from the river, the old man's face changed, and he looked at the river and the surroundings, and then hurriedly told us...... Those two water ghosts are too fierce, he can't do enough, he can't go over, and he can't help us, let's find another way, and then he hurried to leave...... We hurriedly kept him and begged him to think of a way, and when he saw the small river temple by the river, he told us that we could go and ask the river god in the temple, and after that, the master hurried away......"

The middle-aged man said, the paper cup in his hand was pinched more and more deformed, his eyes were frightened, and he took a deep breath and calmed down.

“...... After this old master's incident, the people in the village felt that this thing was even more strange...... No one dared to come any closer to the river, if something pushed it down and entangled it...... At night, no one dares to go out......"

“...... The people in the village discussed, but they could only beg the river god in the river temple according to the words of the master when he left...... After that, during the day of the second day, he called some villagers to go to the temple of the river with incense wax paper money, melons and fruits, and bypassed the place near the river...... Let an old man in the village tell the story in front of the statue of the river temple, and then offer incense and wax, and the villagers kneel in front of the river temple for a while...... After that, every day, the people of the village took turns, and several families went to the river temple to worship incense wax and ask the river god in the river temple......

...... After that, the village gradually calmed down, and the people in the village slowly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was the river god in the river temple who suppressed the water ghost in the river......"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man paused and exhaled deeply, but the fear in his eyes had not faded.

“...... However, the calm has only been calm for less than half a month...... Just over a week ago, there was another accident......"

The middle-aged man's voice trembled slightly, and his whole body trembled,

“...... The river god in the river temple also seems to be unable to suppress it......"

“...... That night, I went with a few villagers to refill the incense wax in the river temple...... As soon as I entered the river temple, I saw the statue of the god that was originally offered on the offering table......"

The middle-aged man said, trembling all over, his eyes were afraid, and he couldn't speak.

In the courtyard, the old lady listened to the middle-aged man's words, looked at her in front of her attentively, and her eyes became more and more red.

And the young man next to the old lady was still with his head bowed and silent.
