Chapter 1: Strange Things by the River

In the evening of summer, Lin Jun sat in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, he hummed a nursery rhyme when he was idle, and vaguely heard someone shouting "help", stopped singing and listened carefully, and there was no voice just now, thinking it was an illusion, he continued to sing and heard shouting for help, when he stopped again, he could hear a faint "help" sound, and the sound seemed to come from the river behind the house. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It was already dark, and at this time someone was shouting "help" by the river, the sound sounded a little dark, which made Lin Jun suddenly feel a chill in his back, he had heard the children who played with him say that there were water ghosts in this river, Lin Jun was so frightened that he ran into the house and called his father.

"Dad! Father! There are ghosts in the river! Lin Jun shouted as he ran.

Lin Jun's father slapped his head fiercely, "The child is thinking about it, where is there a water ghost, someone must have gone down to the river to bathe and had an accident, the child's mother, quickly bring the flashlight, I have to hurry up to save people." ”

Lin Jun's mother quickly found a flashlight, "I don't want to find a few people to help, it's safer for more people." ”

Lin Jun's father said: "If someone really flooded, when someone was found, they would have drowned." ”

Lin Jun's mother was still not at ease, and told his father: "You be careful, you can save it, if you can't save yourself, it matters if you can't save yourself and save your life." ”

Lin Jun's father picked up the flashlight and ran towards the river without saying a word.

Lin Jun was young and relatively timid, so he didn't have the courage to follow, so he had to accompany his mother to wait for news at home.

Lin Jun's father went for more than half an hour and didn't come back, Lin Jun was very scared, remembering the drowning of Uncle Mu half a year ago, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, afraid that his father would have an accident, so he mustered up the courage to run to the back of the house, saw the light of a flashlight on the riverside, and shouted "Dad". His father responded, and Lin Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

The light of the flashlight was getting closer and closer to Lin Jun, Lin Jun saw clearly that his father was helping a person to walk back, and when he got closer, he saw that the person was Yang Jian, the second son of Aunt Zhang, and saw that he was walking with a limp, and his leg seemed to be injured.

Lin Jun's father helped Yang Jian into the house, and under the light, Yang Jian pulled up his trousers and had blue and purple marks on his calves.

Lin Jun's father asked him, "Why are you going to the river so late?" ”

Yang Jian said: "My mother doesn't let me go to the river to play, I want to go to the river to bathe and catch fish, and I am afraid of being seen by my mother during the day, so I can see and catch fish when it is almost dark, and my mother will not find out." ”

Lin Jun's father looked at the bruises on his calves and said, "Then what's the matter with the bruises on your legs?" ”

Yang Jian said: "I saw a fish in the middle of the river, swam over to pick up the fish, who knew that when I swam halfway down, suddenly something under the river grabbed my feet and pulled down, I was so frightened that I quickly swam back, that thing kept pulling me, I couldn't kick it away with my hard kicking, and then I said: Lao Tzu won't hit the ghost today, after saying that, the thing really let go, I took the opportunity to swim to the shore." When I got to the shore, I didn't have the strength to walk anymore, so I had to shout for help, but fortunately you heard me, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to go back. ”

Lin Jun looked at the bruises on Yang Jian's calves, which looked like imprints after being grasped by his hands, and thought to himself, how much strength would it take to grasp them into bruises? A conjecture suddenly flashed in Lin Jun's head, was he caught by a water ghost?

Lin Jun looked at his father's heavy expression and didn't dare to say his guess.

Lin Jun's father just told Yang Jian not to go to the river alone in the future, and also said something else.

Yang Jian was afraid of being beaten by Aunt Zhang, so he begged Lin Jun's father not to tell his mother about him going down to the river to bathe and catch fish, but Lin Jun's father nodded and agreed.

Lin Jun told his grandmother about it, and her grandmother said, "Yang Jian must have been caught by a water ghost."

After hearing this, Lin Jun's hairs stood up one by one, could it really be that there were water ghosts talking about catching people, usually close to the river, and saw that the river was dark and swarthy, and it turned out that there were many ghosts hidden in it that he had never seen before.

Grandma Lin Jun said that when Yang Jian was pulled by a ghost, she said, "I hit a ghost" and saved him. The ghost was most afraid that people would know about his existence, and the ghost thought that Yang Jian had discovered it, so he didn't dare to do it.

Yang Jian's luck was not bad, he was not arrested as a substitute ghost.

Since that incident, Lin Jun has been very afraid of deep water, because he clearly knows that there is something in the water that he can't see but can kill people, so he never goes down to the river to bathe.

Grandma told Lin Jun not to go to the river to play when he was fine, the ghost of the water did not find a substitute ghost, it will continue to look for it, and I don't know who it will find next, grandma was very helpless when she said this, because no one here can deal with ghosts.

In September, Lin Jun went to junior high school, the school is located in the commune across the river, every day to go to school and after school, he has to take a boat to cross the river, because the distance is too far, Lin Jun can't go home to eat at noon, so he brings his own food.

One day after school, I found that many people were salvaging things on the river, and when I asked, I found out that two students went down to the river to bathe after school and never came ashore again.

Lin Jun had just drowned for more than an hour when he passed by there after school, and many people came around to watch the salvage of the body.

Lin Jun watched it for a while and didn't look at it again, for fear that he would be scolded if he went home late.

The next day after school, it was still salvage.

On the morning of the third day of school, Lin Jun found that there was a small grave on the side of the road he passed, and everyone was careful not to make a sound when they passed by.

When Lin Jun passed by, he smelled a smell of rotting meat, and said inadvertently, "It stinks." ”

It was this sentence that made Lin Jun suffer for a day, and this incident was a real thing that Lin Jun personally experienced.

Ever since he said "it stinks" all day, the stench has been following him, making him unable to attend classes properly and throwing up even eating.

At first, Lin Jun didn't know what was going on, so he told him about it at the same table, and it was a coincidence that she actually understood this kind of thing at the same table, she told Lin Jun, "You must have said 'it stinks' in front of the dead, and it punished you for smelling you for a day, and you think about whether it was after you smelled that smell when you passed by in front of the grave, the smell has been following you." ”

Lin Jun thought about it, it was after smelling the smell of decay in front of the grave that the smell of decay from corpses was the whole day.

The same table told Lin Jun, "Actually, it's not a big deal, as long as you pass by the grave and say sorry when you go back from school in the afternoon, it'll be fine." ”

After Lin Jun said "I'm sorry" seriously when he came home from school, he really didn't smell like that again.

That incident was the real thing that happened to Lin Jun, maybe many people wouldn't believe it, but it was real, and Lin Jun hadn't figured it out until now.

In this year, people drowned in the river one after another, and fewer and fewer people in the village went to the river to bathe and catch fish, and now there are basically no people walking around the river, and even the road that used to be walked by the river has been overgrown with weeds, and everyone has changed to the top of the mountain to go on the road.

Since people don't go to the river, no one drowns in the river for a long time.

Just when everyone was about to forget that one day they were eating the river, Aunt Li's pig ran out of the pigsty and jumped into the river and drowned.

Aunt Li found a boat to salvage the pig back and prepare to eat the whole meat, but when she shaved the hair on the pig, she found that the pig's whole body was black and green, as if it had been beaten and bruised.

No one would be so cruel to a pig, and everyone is talking about whether it will be ....... No one dared to say that word.

Aunt Li's pig drowned for a few days, and Uncle Wang's dog also drowned in the river, dead like a lot. The whole village was enveloped in terror, and one after another animals drowned in the river.

Pigs and dogs are born to swim, how can they drown. The fear was that people would drown next.

The villagers discussed to see if they could invite an onmyoji to come back and take a look, and finally discussed and decided that everyone would contribute some money from each family, and the village chief would come forward to invite Zhang Kui, the onmyoji in the town, to come back and help drive away evil spirits.

Daochang Zhang Kui invited him, and everyone saw hope, Zhang Daochang looked around the village and asked the village chief: "When was the first person in your village to drown?" “

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "About three years ago, a 12-year-old child jumped into the river and drowned. ”

Zhang Daochang: "How did he die?" “

Village Chief: "He was stupid when he got sick, and he committed suicide by jumping into the river." ”

Zhang Daochang: "Take me to see his grave." ”

Everyone followed Zhang Daochang to Hong Gang's grave, the small grave was overgrown with weeds, Hong Gang was Lin Jun's childhood partner, often went up the mountain to chop wood together, Hong Gang was only 12 years old when he died, and his death Lin Jun remembered it vividly.

Lin Jun and a few friends went to the back mountain to chop wood, Hong Gang accidentally fell into a large deep foundation hole, deep foundation is a kind of grave in that place, after burying people in the tomb for a period of time, the grave should be dug open a square hole about 1 meter long, this hole leads to the tomb, this hole is called the deep foundation hole, the role of the deep foundation hole is to avoid the dead in the soil Yin Qi is too heavy to come out and dig it, the sunlight can shine into the tomb through the deep base hole, let the tomb dry.

Digging a deep foundation hole is called opening the grave, which means opening the grave. Those who die strangely must have their graves open after three years, or they will not be at peace.

Hong Gang has been seriously ill since he fell into the deep foundation hole and came out, and after he recovered from his illness, he was stupid, and he saw people either smirking or looking at everyone who passed by his house with the cold sunlight, and that kind of look made people shudder.

After Hong Gang fell ill, Lin Jun went to see it once, and when he went, he smiled stupidly at Lin Jun, his smile was a little eerie, Lin Jun saw a trace of fear in his eyes, and it was very empty when he looked closely.

Lin Jun was only 12 years old at the time, and he was not sensible.

Later, Lin Jun's parents were afraid that his illness would be contagious, so they didn't let him go again, and then Hong Gang ran to jump into the river and drowned.

After drowning, his face was smiling, his eyes were wide open, Lin Jun didn't dare to look at it, and the adults didn't think there was anything strange about his death, demented people would do unexpected things, and they could figure it out by jumping into the river and drowning.

Lin Jun and a few partners didn't tell the adults about the time when Hong Gang fell into the deep foundation hole that day, and they didn't know that this matter had anything to do with Hong Gang's death.

Zhang Daochang felt that there was something wrong with Hong Gang's grave, and he asked about Hong Gang's death Lin Jun remembered that it might be related to this matter, and now Lin Jun is 15 years old and knows more or less about things. He told the Taoist chief about Hong Gang's fall into the deep foundation hole of the back mountain more than 3 years ago, and the Taoist chief was shocked when he heard it, it turned out that Hong Gang's death was really related to this incident.

Zhang Daochang said that Hong Gang could have not died, and his illness could have been cured.

But at that time, the people in his family thought that he was dying and sick like that, so they didn't pay attention to his death and evil.

Zhang Daochang said that Hong Gang died of murder, and the grave should have been opened half a year ago, but it has not been opened yet, but fortunately nothing major happened, but the livestock drowned. Hong Gang's grave must be opened immediately, otherwise there will be no peace in the village.

The village chief organized the people in the village to prepare chicken blood, black dog blood, peach wood sword, glutinous rice, incense, wax, money paper, and hoes and other tools for the open grave according to Zhang Daochang's instructions.

But a few days later, Aunt Wang dug a basket of sweet potatoes up the mountain, carried them to the river, and prepared to wash them and carry them home to feed the pigs.

When she was washing, she saw that her shoes on the bank of the river were slowly drifting to the middle of the river, she was confused and only wanted to pick up her shoes, step by step to the depths of the river, when she was about to catch the shoes, the shoes moved forward, Aunt Wang followed step by step to the deep water, the water had already flooded Aunt Wang's neck, but she didn't know, and continued to follow the shoes to move forward slowly.

Aunt He, who had finished his work, happened to pass by on the road not far from the river, and when he saw this situation, he shouted loudly: "Sister Wang, Sister Wang, what are you doing?!!! ”

Aunt He's voice was loud, and Aunt Wang woke up all of a sudden, she came to her senses and found that the water was almost submerging her nose, so she hurriedly walked back, and when she went ashore, her shoes had floated out far away.

Aunt He asked her, "Why don't you want to die for a pair of shoes?" ”

Aunt Wang said: "I don't know why, my head is confused, so I follow my shoes and go out." Now I think about it, I'm so scared that I don't have the strength to walk, I can't walk, please go back and help me call my family to carry this basket of sweet potatoes, I don't have the strength to carry it back. ”
