Story 51 Water Monkey (6)

"Xiaobao is not afraid, there is a grandmother......" Since childhood, whenever Luo Bao is afraid, grandma will always say this, and then Luo Bao is really not afraid.

"Grandma, do they really blame me for not saving them?" Luo Bao asked sadly.

Grandma shook her head and said: "Everyone doesn't want to die, so when they die, there will always be too much nostalgia for life, the so-called ghosts are these nostalgia, they forget all the feelings before life, but they retain the desire for life, this obsession can produce a very terrible power, your grandfather left suddenly, outsiders thought he died of illness, in fact, his family knew that he did not die of illness." ”

Luo Bao was stunned, this was the first time he had heard his grandmother talk about his grandfather when he was so big, "Why didn't grandpa have it?" ”

Grandma touched Luo Bao's head and said, your grandfather raised horses for the production team back then, and his body was very strong, if he hadn't gone early, your father would definitely have brothers and sisters.

In those years, if an adult child died in the family, it was not allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave at home, and it was generally thrown in the "doll grave".

It is said to be called a doll's grave, but in fact it is a wasteland, and people from several nearby villages have thrown their dead children there, and at that time, if any family in the village dies of a child, they are not willing to throw it in person, one is that the place is unlucky, and the other is that the child does not want to leave, and then follow his relatives back......

So this situation generally costs money for others to throw, at that time our family is poor, your father's body is not strong, grandpa wants to earn a few more money to buy some eggs for your father to replenish the body, as long as the doll in our village is gone, give five yuan for your grandfather to throw.

I remember that time, your grandfather threw a one-year-old girl doll to Liu Cripple's house, when he picked up the child from Liu Cripple's house, she was not out of breath, and the two calves were so kicking and kicking, I didn't agree to throw it immediately, and I also advised your grandfather to say, wait a minute, and then send it when the doll is out of breath.

But your grandfather didn't listen to me because he was in a hurry to feed the horses for the production team, and then he had an accident. When I ran over to see it, your grandfather was lying on a ridge, which must have happened when he left the dead child and walked home......

It was discovered by the accountant on the team, and I wanted to send it to the health center to rescue it, but when I went up to touch it, everyone was cold, and I turned him over to see that there was no injury on his body, just a bag on his head.

Even if everyone sees the strangeness of your grandfather's death, no one dares to say it directly, and in the end they can only say that your grandfather died of a heart attack, but your grandfather's body I know, strong as a cow, how can he be sick?

After listening to his grandfather's story, Luo Bao couldn't say anything in his heart, and he asked his grandmother, "Then how many of them want to kill me?" ”

Grandma said to him: "Don't be afraid, they are water ghosts, as long as you don't go to a place with water, you will be fine, and when they pass the first year, they will slowly forget about you!" When Luo Bao heard that they would forget about themselves, he asked with some disbelief, "Really?" ”

"Really, if you've been a ghost for a long time, let alone someone else, even you will forget who you are."

The next afternoon, Luo Bao received a phone call, it was He Weiqing, "Luo Bao...... They're coming for me! What to do? The four of them came to me! I don't want to die, they want to kill me! ”

"Weiqing, where are you? Who's looking for you? Luo Bao heard He Weiqing's tone was particularly flustered, and he also heard the faint sound of water in the background of the phone.

"They...... They are Wang Shuo, Li Wentao, Zhang Ying and Song Dingning! They're all here! It's all ......" the phone said it was dropped.

Luo Bao tried to dial back, but he couldn't get through, he immediately called He Weijing's home again, and the phone was connected, but no one answered.

The next day, two policemen came to the house, and they said that He Weiqing had drowned in Rengong Lake in North Park the day before yesterday, and that her last phone call before her death was to Luo Bao, and they wanted to know what she said on the phone at that time.

He's dead? Luo Bao was stupid at that time, why did He Weiqing die? "She said she didn't want to die......" Luo Bao told the police about the contents of the phone call in a trance.

"Is she really dead? Impossible! Luo Bao became a little excited, but the police told him, "He Weiqing is really dead, she died the day before yesterday, her parents called the police yesterday, but I didn't expect her to drown in the artificial lake in the park." ”

"The day before yesterday! But I got her call yesterday! Luo Bao said in shock.

The policeman checked the documents in his hand again and said, "That's right, the list provided by the telecommunications company shows that it was the phone call you made the day before yesterday." ”

After the police left, the grandmother said with an ugly face: "She must have been pulled away by the water monkey, Xiaobao is not afraid, there is grandma, no one wants to hurt you!" ”

"Water monkeys again! Didn't Xiao Shanzi say that thing was in Ga Lake? Why is there an artificial lake in the city? Luo Bao's tone was a little hurried because he was afraid.

"As long as there are water monkeys in the water that have died, I will go back to the village tomorrow to think of a way, you don't go out these days, stay at home." After Grandma finished speaking, she went back to the house to pack her clothes.

At this time, Luo Bao's mobile phone rang, he picked it up and saw that it was He Weiqing calling, he hesitated for a moment and connected the phone, only to hear a distant voice from inside, "Luo Bao, the next one is your ......"

Luo Bao threw the phone on the ground in fright, and the battery fell out, but the ringtone of the mobile phone kept ringing.

Grandma walked out of the room at this time and saw Luo Bao's expression was different, so she asked him, "What's wrong?" Why did the phone fall? ”

"Grandma...... He Weiqing called me just now and said, the next one is me! Luo Bao felt like he was going crazy!

Grandma picked up the phone from the ground and said to him, "Xiaobao, remember, what can really kill people is the hallucinations created by the water monkeys, which make you think that it is real, but in fact everything is fake." ”

Grandma's words seemed to be very profound, but Luo Bao remembered one sentence, that is, it was all fake, he knew that he wanted to stay at home during the time that grandma was away, if he saw anything terrible again, it must be a water monkey conjure, it was an illusion that wanted to induce him to die......

As soon as Grandma Luo Bao returned to the village, she felt that the atmosphere in the village was not right, so she grabbed an old sister who usually had a good relationship with her and asked, "Jianye and his grandmother, what's going on in the village?" ”

When Grandma Jianye saw that it was Grandma Luo Bao, she pulled her aside and said, "You just came back from the city and don't know, the hill next door to your house is gone the day before yesterday!" ”

"What? What's going on? Wasn't that kid okay when I left? Grandma Luo Bao asked in surprise. (To be continued.) )
