Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Story of the Seeping Man

Niu Dingtian squatted in front of the stove by the door and gathered firewood, and the chicken in the pot was already fragrant all over the house, making him keep swallowing saliva, the taste was too fragrant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Aunt Hong was still busy with dinner in the afternoon, looking at Niu Dingtian's slanderous statue, she couldn't help laughing: "If you are hungry, eat first, your voice of swallowing saliva can be heard outside." ā€

"Incense. Auntie, this home-raised local chicken is fragrant, and it is not easy to buy real local chicken in the city now. It's all fodder chickens. Niu Dingtian wiped the corners of his mouth and patted the horse with a red face.

Ma Yanhong looked at his greedy cat look, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't say it so pitifully, there are such things in the countryside." When you go back, I asked Brother Bao to catch two and bring them back to your aunt and them to taste, I haven't seen Wang Fang and Zhong Wei for a long time. They didn't know to come to see me. ā€

Niu Dingtian heard Aunt Hong mention her aunt, and he was silent for a while: "Don't bother my aunt, they have been in trouble recently." I'll bring them with me after a while. ā€

Ma Yanhong didn't care about the loss in Xiao Niu's tone, and nodded: "On your day off, you can call them to come to the house when you are free, there is nothing else at home, and the food is all ecological." Wait for this year's Chinese New Year to kill pigs, and then ask Brother Bao to drive you down to pick you up. ā€

Niu Dingtian's eyes lit up: "Brother Bao is going to buy a car?" ā€

Ma Yanhong pursed her lips: "He was looking forward to this, he just learned his driver's license some time ago, and he pestered your uncle to buy a car, and he just ordered a pickup truck a few days ago, saying that he would pick it up next month." ā€

"I'm really worried about him driving, and I've retaken two or three times to learn a license."

Ma Yanhong's words made Niu Dingtian laugh: "My brother Bao works in the field, and he is a good hand at going up the mountain and going into the water, how can he learn to drive so stupidly!" Got three make-up exams, hahaha. ā€

"You're laughing."

A deep voice came from outside the door, Wan Bao and his wife were pushing the motorcycle into the door, hearing Niu Dingtian's laughter, Wan Bao couldn't hold his face, and yelled at Niu Dingtian.

Niu Dingtian got up and ran out of the kitchen: "Brother Bao, Sister Ying, you're back." ā€

A-Ying smiled at him: "When did you come, Maverick?" ā€

Niu Dingtian: "It's been around noon." I'll call Brother Bao when I come. ā€

Wanbao parked the motorcycle and continued to hit Niu Dingtian: "Boy, you are embarrassed to laugh at me, your score in the university entrance examination, I can score more than 90 points for you." ā€

Niu Dingtian can be regarded as having experienced wind and rain, and this blow is no longer important to him, he quietly glanced at the busy red in the kitchen, and said to Wanbao with a low smile: "Brother, don't talk about that." I asked something. ā€

He mysteriously beckoned to Wanbao and walked into the living room.

Wan Bao looked at him mysteriously and followed the house: "What are you doing kid?" ā€

Niu Dingtian asked Wan Bao: "Brother, tell me what you saw in the Green Yin Pond?" ā€

As soon as Niu Dingtian asked this, Wan Bao's face, who had not yet sat down, suddenly changed, and he asked Niu Dingtian in a low voice: "Who told you?" ā€

Niu Dingtian pointed to the kitchen.

Wan Bao stared at him and whispered, "Go outside and say." ā€

He shouted to his daughter-in-law: "A-Ying, you help the old lady cook, and I and Xiaoniu will go down to see the pond." ā€

The two of them walked one after the other towards the river.

……

Wan Bao sat down on a stone on the shore, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a few deep breaths, then looked at Niu Dingtian and asked, "Aren't you going to go fishing in Luyin Lake?" ā€

Niu Dingtian shrugged: "I want to go, Aunt Hong won't let me go, saying that you saw something dirty." ā€

Wan Bao took another puff on his cigarette and shook his head at him, "I'm not sure what that is?" But there's something strange in that water. The big guy in the village, Er Huang, and the three doglegs died there. ā€

When Niu Dingtian heard these three names, he looked at Wanbao in surprise: "Big guy? The one who went to catch fish with us last time? Isn't he water-based? ā€

Wan Bao nodded: "Those who drown know how to water." No, I don't dare to go down. ā€

Wan Bao told Niu Dingtian.

Three months ago

Erhuang and Dogleg brought back a motor.

Both of them are well-known lazy ghosts in the village, all day long, either the east family mixes food, the west family mixes wine, or wanders around, and they don't know that the tendon is wrong, the two of them pooled money to go to the city to buy a motor and came back.

He also said that the power of the motor was very large, and the electric fish was very simple, and the two of them were thinking about going to the river to get fish to sell.

On the night of their accident, they were drinking at the big guy's house, and I was there, and the four of them drank more than three catties of wine, and they were not drunk, and they still had to go to get fish.

I didn't make it because your sister-in-law made a few phone calls urging me to go home.

But I didn't expect them to go to the Green Yin Pond to go to the electric fish.

It's a gloomy place, and it's not visited by many people on weekdays.

Wan Bao's face became more and more gloomy as he spoke, and he reminisced as he took a big smoking.

At noon the next day, the eldest man's daughter-in-law came to the door and said that they went to get fish and didn't come back all night, was there an accident?

When I heard the words of the big guy and his daughter-in-law, my heart chuckled. I hurriedly went out and called five or six men from the stockade, and went down the river to find them.

It was about eight or nine kilometers from the village to Luyin Pond, and by the time we found them, the three of them had already drowned in the water.

Niu Dingtian suddenly interjected: "What were they like at that time?" ā€

Wan Bao looked at him strangely, thought about it and continued, but his face became a little unnatural.

When they were found, the big guy was floating in a bunch of aquatic plants at the water's edge upstream of the pool, and Er Huang and Dogleg were washed out by the water to a place forty or fifty meters below. They brought the motor pole in the hands of the big guy, and Er Huang and the dog's legs were wrapped in nets. ā€

"The stone ridge there is relatively high, and when the brother-in-law of the big guy who was walking in front at the time, he jumped off the stone ridge, I ...... I ......"

Wan Bao suddenly gasped, and took a few puffs of cigarette in succession before suppressing the throbbing in his heart: "I was following him, when the big guy and brother-in-law jumped down, I was looking for it along the water's edge, and when he saw the big guy's corpse suddenly screamed, I suddenly saw a huge wave under the body of the big guy by the water's edge." ā€

Wan Bao said softly to Niu Dingtian: "There seems to be a cyan arm with the thickness of a small arm sinking in the waves, and the five or six people who went together at that time saw it." ā€

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the forest below the house became a little cold.

He smiled dryly: "Brother Bao, don't scare me, how can there be any water ghosts?" ā€

Wan Bao shook his head at him: "I didn't say it was a water ghost, but everyone saw that cyan arm." ā€

He paused as he spoke, "You kid don't want to go there. It's dangerous. ā€

Wan Bao thought for a moment: "We called the police at that time. After the police station came, they didn't think there was anything wrong, so they closed the case on the grounds that they went to electric fish and the net fish accidentally pasted themselves in. ā€

"But the few we watched, and they all felt that something was wrong."

"The big guy has a good water nature, and Erhuang and Dogleg are not much worse than him. All three of them had drunk, but they weren't even drunk. Especially...... Especially...... When we examined the net, we found a big hole in it. ā€

"The motor caught in the water also looked like it had been thrown to the ground and trampled on it."

Wan Bao said as he snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.
