Chapter 1: Half a Fingernail
My name is Fan Beichen, and I grew up in the countryside with my grandfather.
Growing up, my grandfather always told me the same sentence: "Don't go to the Xiapan Village Reservoir!"
In this way, I was advised until I graduated from junior high school.
That afternoon, I was playing games in an Internet café when my female classmate Jia Ni walked into the Internet café.
Jia Ni has an average face, just a tall person, more than 1.7 meters, wearing tight jeans, quite sultry.
When I was in school, she had that meaning to me, but I didn't like her.
After seeing me at a glance, he immediately shouted out of surprise: "Fan Beichen, you are still playing here, your grandfather fell into the reservoir!"
I was so frightened that I couldn't take care of anything, so I ran after Jani to the reservoir.
When I ran to the Xiapan Village Reservoir, I saw no one next to the reservoir from a distance.
It doesn't look like someone falling into a reservoir at all.
Seeing the confusion on my face, Jia Ni laughed and said: "Fan Beichen, don't say that your grandfather fell into the reservoir, can you come, it's too hot, swim with me for a while." ”
I was so angry that I really wanted to kick Jani, but I came, and it was useless to say anything.
I heard that there were always drowning people in this reservoir before.
I think the reason my grandfather didn't let me come was because he was afraid that I would drown.
Big deal, I just don't go into the water.
"Come down, the boy is still so timid, afraid of drowning?!" Jani beckoned me into the water as she swam in the water.
Grandpa's advice for more than ten years has taken root in my heart.
I swallowed and frothed, holding back.
I felt that there was something wrong with the way Jani looked at me,
When Janei saw that I was not in the water, she swam to the shore.
You want to go drill into the grove with me.
When she was about to swim to the shore, she suddenly seemed to be entangled in aquatic plants, and Janny pushed hard, but she couldn't kick it off, and the more she fluttered, the more she sank.
I hurriedly ran forward and reached for it, but it was not long enough, so I reached out to Jani with a foot, and Janie grabbed my foot.
It stands to reason that he is a leg away from the shore, and I can drag him ashore with a single effort.
Strangely, not only did I not pull him up, but I was almost dragged down by him!
Fortunately, I clung to a big rock on the shore and didn't get dragged down.
I was terrified and shouted for help, and by the time a few villagers had arrived, Jani had already been dragged into the water.
Several people immediately jumped into the water to save people, but they didn't find anyone for a long time.
I've been asked over and over again how Jani had an accident.
Until it was dark at night, the body was not recovered.
I was afraid that my grandfather would be in a hurry, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to me anymore, he hurried home.
After dinner, I didn't dare to mention it to my grandfather, for fear that he would scold me.
Perhaps frightened by what happened to Jani, I felt like I was prostrating, sleepy and tired, and I fell asleep in bed.
I slept until midnight, and the wind was blowing outside, and the windows were creaking.
There is also the cry of a wild cat, which is full of fear in its angry cry, and it makes you panic when you listen to it.
In a daze, I felt that my chest was particularly depressed, and the air in the room suddenly became thick and cold.
There was also a smell of rotting river water.
It seems that there is a person, step by step to the bed,
A bone-chilling aura enveloped me,
My heart suddenly shrunk into a ball, and I couldn't do it with fear.
Then a cold, damp hand, holding my feet and neck, dragged me under the bed.
I felt a chill that spread from my feet and neck to my whole body,
I opened my eyes hard, and it was Jenny standing at my feet!
He was drenched, and his hair was dripping with water.
Janei's face was swollen and bruised, her eyes were bloodshot, and her mouth was foaming with mud.
Two dark eyes shot two fine lights, looking straight at me.
I saw that my scalp was hairy, and a cool breeze was swishing on my back.
"Jani, what are you going to do?!" I exclaimed.
Hearing me call her by her name, Jani suddenly bled blood, rolled her eyes, and fell to the ground with a thud.
When Grandpa heard the movement, he immediately ran over and asked, "What's wrong?!"
I pointed to the ground and screamed in horror, "Jani, Jani!"
"Where are you, are you dreaming?!" Grandpa said with a confused look on his face.
There was only a puddle of water on the ground, and there was still the shadow of Jani.
I was confused, I couldn't figure out if it was real or a dream?
I suddenly felt pain in my feet and neck, and when I looked down, I saw that my feet and necks were pinched out of a green handprint.
Now I panicked, I didn't dare to hide it anymore, and told my grandfather the whole thing.
After hearing this, my grandfather's face turned white, and his eyes looked at my feet and necks solemnly.
Grandpa is a gentleman who watches things, and when I see him like this, my heart trembles with fright!
Grandpa squeezed my feet and neck, and a stream of pus and blood came out, and I grinned in pain.
Grandpa pinched out half of his blackened nails from the wound.
Leaned under the lamp, looked at the half of the nails, gasped and said, "Beichen, if you sleep to death, you will be dragged away!"
Hearing my grandfather say this, I was even more frightened, and my tears were about to come out.
Grandpa burned the talisman and threw it into a bowl of clear water for me to drink.
The grey water was really hard to drink, with a burnt smell of burning paper.
After drinking it, my stomach suddenly turned upside down, and I vomited violently, spitting out a large pool of black, viscous liquid.
Sweating profusely, the whole person collapsed.
Look at my feet and necks again, the green handprints are gone.
Grandpa grabbed a big red rooster from the chicken coop and used a silver needle to take the blood of the cockscomb first,
Then he took the blood of the boy from the center of my eyebrows, mixed the blood of the cockscomb with the blood of my child, and put it on the palms of my hands, the hearts of my feet, my chest, my vest, and the center of my eyebrows, and sealed my seven penis seams.
Then under the bed, take me to dig a pit two meters long and half a meter deep.
Let me put on his clothes, lie down in the pit, and sprinkle grain and salt on me, and cover me with hay.
And he lit an oil lamp on my head and under my feet.
After I got it done, my grandfather said to me: "Beichen, no matter what happens for a while, don't make a sound, don't move, wait for the rooster to crow, and go to your grandfather." ”
Through the hay, I saw Grandpa dressed in the clothes I wore during the day.
Then he stabbed a knife in his foot and neck, and shoved the half of the blackened nail into it.
The originally bright red blood immediately turned into black pus blood, and then the entire foot and neck turned blue.
Grandpa lay down and smoked a bag of dry tobacco, and then began to snore.
I couldn't sleep, staring, nervously looking at the door and grandpa.
In this way, I was in a state of panic until about 3 o'clock in the second half of the night, when I was about to fall asleep in a daze, when suddenly it was cloudy outside.
The windows creaked again, and the wildcats howled again.
The temperature in the room dropped suddenly, and I was once again surrounded by a cold atmosphere.
His eyes widened in horror, his heart suddenly shrunk, and nervousness jumped out of his throat.
The door was silently pushed open, and Janie walked in with a stiff gaze.
His face was swollen and bruised, and his eyes were protruding, which was even more terrifying than before.
Without saying a word, he walked to the end of the bed and stretched out a hand to grab Grandpa's foot and neck.
I stopped breathing in fright and looked at Jani in horror.
Jani only held her grandfather's feet and neck with one hand, as if she didn't have much effort to drag her grandfather out of bed, and dragged her grandfather outside.
I tried to shout, but my throat felt like I was choked, and I couldn't shout.
I didn't listen to my grandfather last time, and I went to the reservoir with Jia Ni, but I didn't expect to cause such a big incident!
This time I didn't dare to disobey my grandfather's words, I gritted my teeth and didn't dare to move.
Watching Jani drag Grandpa out and disappear into the darkness, tears streaming down the corners of my eyes.
As far as I can remember, both my parents died in a car accident.
I was brought up by my grandfather, and watching my grandfather being dragged away, I was so angry that my eyes were black for a while, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
At last the rooster crowed, and I got up from the pit weakly.
wiped away the tears that blurred his eyes, and through the faint oil light, he was surprised to see that his grandfather was still lying on the bed!
