Chapter 37: By the River
Out of the door, Fan Yingying was obviously not very interested, she was very depressed now, a particularly complex and tangled emotion poured out from the bottom of her heart, she felt that this matter must have something to do with the female ghost, and when she thought of this, she couldn't help but regret her intestines were blue.

Zhang Jinxia's words just now touched her a lot, she is now full of the words that will harm her family, she muttered in her heart, I am afraid that it is not because of her previous refusal to anger the female ghost, she secretly moved her hands and feet, thinking of this, she can't help but be angry and resentful, if it is not for her ability, she really can't wait to find out the female ghost immediately, and eat it alive to relieve her anger.
She thought indignantly, her mind turned, and she couldn't help but feel a little blamed for herself, if she hadn't picked up the jade pendant because of greed, if she hadn't moved the idea of exchanging the jade pendant for money, if she hadn't rejected the female ghost at the beginningγγγγγγ
But even if I regret it now, it's too late.
"It's already past one o'clock, shall I invite you to dinner? What do you want to eat? Han Sicheng had been by Fan Yingying's side, seeing her solemn expression, knowing that she was in a bad mood now, she couldn't think of any way to solve it for a while, and looked at the time, it was already afternoon, so she proposed.
Fan Yingying shook her head: "I'm not hungry. β
She really has no appetite, Zhang Jinxia just said that she should wait for the opportunity, but what is this opportunity, when will it appear, Zhang Jinxia doesn't say it, she has no bottom in her heart, and the uneasy mood accumulates in her heart, which makes her a little irritable and a little angry.
Han Sicheng looked at her face, thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the riverside, right?" Blow the river breeze and look at the river, it's still early, it's useless to go back, and go there for a walk, maybe your mood can be soothed. β
Fan Yingying looked at Han Sicheng, seeing the concern on his face, without the slightest impatience, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, Han Sicheng could take her to ask Zhang Jinxia for help, in fact, it was already very interesting, she was not happy now, and she was still in a mood for him, no matter how she thought about it, it was a little too much, it was rare that he hadn't bothered with himself.
Thinking of this, Fan Yingying was embarrassed to refuse Han Sicheng again, so she nodded and agreed.
The summer weather, at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, is the most unbearable time of the day, the road is scorched and hot, and the asphalt road seems to be soft when you step on it. The air was hot and stuffy, as if a match could be lit. The whole sky was blindly bright, making people feel dizzy and dizzy.
The continuous heat wave is not dispersed by the refreshing river breeze until standing on the sandy ground by the river, the tree-lined path is paved with colored floor tiles, twisting and turning, the path is lined with trees, lush shrubs, lush foliage, and the fresh air is refreshing.
Fan Yingying followed Han Sicheng through the boulevard, and at the end was the endless river with water and sky, dark blue color, calm without a trace of ripples.
Sitting side by side on the steps, Fan Yingying looked at the tourists who occasionally walked in front of her, and her eyes slowly fixed on the sparkling river.
She was about to concentrate when she heard Han Sicheng suddenly ask, "Do you know why I went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to worship the abbot as a teacher?" β
Fan Yingying had some impression of this matter, she remembered that Han Sicheng once said that when he was a child, he was sent by his father to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to worship the abbot as a teacher because of his frailty and illness, and lived in a serious life for a while.
Han Sicheng's tone was a little low: "When I was young, I could often see some strange things. β
Fan Yingying looked at him in surprise, a little puzzled why he mentioned this matter again at this time, and saw that his eyes were deep, as if he was suppressing the turbulent emotions.
Han Sicheng sighed, and after a while, he spoke again: "When I was about seven or eight years old, I went to the nearby reservoir to play with the neighbor's children. He seemed to be caught in a memory, and his tone became a little calmer: "But when we arrived that day, there were already other children playing there, and those children were older than us, and they looked quite fierce, so we went to play on the other side of the reservoir, which was actually a canal that ran out of the reservoir, but the water was deeper than here, and I heard that people had drowned before." At that time, I didn't really want to go, but the other partners were eager to try, they laughed at me for being cowardly, and told me to go home by myself, and I had a strong self-esteem at that time, and I was looked down upon by them, so I felt uncomfortable, so I followed them. β
Fan Yingying looked at Han Sicheng's side face, he looked at the sparkling river in front of him with deep eyes, with a hint of unpleasant gloom between his eyebrows: "As a result, after we got there, we found that it was not the same as what we said before, that day, the river water was very thorough, through the river surface, you can clearly see all kinds of stones of different colors at the bottom of the river and small fish shuttling in the cracks of the stones, and I don't know why, the water level looked particularly shallow at that time, so we were very happy, thinking that we had taken a big advantage, and went into the water happily." β
Han Sicheng sighed, stretched out his hand to rub his face, and showed a wry smile at Fan Yingying.
"But at that time, I always had a particularly bad premonition, that there seemed to be something very strange in the water, so when the others were happily entering the water, I kept undressing on the shore and didn't think much about it."
There was a hint of confusion in Han Sicheng's eyes, and he muttered: "They went into the water one after another, but they also knew the depth of the water inside, and they all gathered by the river to play, but later, just when I was about to go over and go into the water after I took off my clothes, I suddenly heard them shouting in surprise, there are a lot of river mussels under the water!" And fish! I was very curious to hear it, so I hurriedly ran over, and sure enough, I saw a number of river mussels floating on the water, so big! β
Han Sicheng gestured at Fan Yingying, and his face became a little pale.
"I watched as some of the big mussels began to open their shells, revealing the white flesh inside, and the mussels floated down the water to the middle of the river, and several of them hurriedly reached for it. I was just looking at the mussels, standing by the river in a daze, and I saw them scoop up the mussels and throw them at me on the shore, so I picked them up on the ground, and I was very happy. β
The muscles in Han Sicheng's shoulders trembled slightly, his eyes were faint like a deep pool and ancient well, and the cold waves flashed by, with a bone-chilling chill and palpitations.
"I picked up the mussels they had thrown up, and when I looked up, I saw them fluttering in the water as if they were cramping, and I was so frightened that I tried to jump down to save them, and when I got to the river, I saw them sinking one after another as if something under the water was going to pull them along."
