"We have a big circular pit in the bay, and the pit is covered with cement all around it."
Old Village Chief Li pointed to the position on the right behind his house, and Gu Yan raised his eyes and was shocked, isn't this the direction they came down?
"There used to be very deep water in the big pit, but of course it is all dry now, and there has always been a very large bitter lotus tree next to it, which sprouts and blossoms and bears fruit in the spring, and there are some mulberry trees and weeds next to the big pit, and now few people go there
The thing I'm going to say has to do with this big pit, maybe it's not a ghost story, but that's how it was told at the time, and it's true. ”
They were all quiet in their hearts, and the villagers did not speak again, but quietly listened to the old Li village chief talk about the past.
"In the year of the accident, there was not so much water in this pit, and according to common sense, a person would not have drowned, but someone drowned there."
"Drowning? Grandpa, is this true? ”
Sun Da, the most timid of all, asked, afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he was only afraid in his heart and did not show it.
"Of course it's true, young man, these things we say are true. Well, there's more to it than that, lad. ”
Village Chief Lao Li glanced at Sun Da and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, are you scared?"
"No, no, I'm just asking."
Sun Da replied habitually, afraid that others would think that he was timid and did not dare to speak again after answering.
The village chief just smiled at him again, but didn't say anything more, and continued to tell supernatural stories.
"When the man drowned, the water in the pit was only up to his waist, and it is said that he accidentally fell down as he passed there, and according to common sense, there was a ladder to go up the pit, and he was already dead in the pit when others found him.
Legend has it that there was a water ghost in there, and when he was caught, he couldn't come up, so he died in that pit. ”
"Could it be that there really be water ghosts in this world?"
Zhu Wen muttered to himself beside him, but Village Chief Li didn't answer directly, but just said: "It's also possible that the person's legs are numb, cramping or something, so he can't come up."
Everyone's hearts were hung up, no one dared to speak anymore, there was no sound of people around, only a slight wind blowing on everyone's cheeks, and everything was so quiet.
"Everyone must have heard of the ghost hitting the wall, right?"
As soon as Village Chief Lao Li asked casually, everyone's faces immediately changed, and they looked at each other and couldn't speak.
Although Gu Yan explained it to Li Yixin, Li Yixin still couldn't understand it, so she asked in a trembling whisper: "Is there really a ghost hitting the wall?"
"Yes, yes. If you don't believe me, little girl, tell you the story of the ghost hitting the wall. ”
Lao Li Village Chief said that there must be no deception in the slightest, after the ghost hit the wall, their hearts all raised their throats, because they were too scared to speak out, they didn't want to listen, and saw Lao Li Village Chief tell a true story about the ghost hitting the wall.
"Erwa'er is a foreigner, and she said that one of them also had a person who was carrying a burden to go to the market and encountered a ghost hitting the wall.
He went out at dawn and was still circling in circles until the sun came out, when a man who knew him inadvertently called out his name and woke him up.
He didn't tell the man that he had met a ghost hitting the wall, and he went home and sued his family.
He kept going around in circles in one place for a long time, and when he was woken up, he looked down and saw the greens planted by other people's houses on the ground, but found that he had been walking and walking without stepping on a single green vegetable of other people's houses. ”
"Wow, there's really a ghost hitting the wall!"
Sun Da exclaimed again, "What, you've encountered it too?" Village Chief Lao Li asked, Sun Da looked at Zhu Wen on the other side, Zhu Wen just looked at him and shook his head gently.
"I used to hear those old people talk about it, and I thought they were bragging, but I didn't believe it."
Sun Da looked at Zhu Wen, then turned his head to look at Gu Yan, and still didn't ask if he wanted to ask, in fact, he was very afraid that the words that would kill people if they went to Maoling Mountain were true.
"Eh, village chief, why are they all gone?"
Zhu Wen sat next to Li Yixin and pretended to be surprised and asked, Old Li Village Chief glared at him, and replied expressionlessly: "It's so late, you all go back to sleep, and you still have to do farm work tomorrow?" What do we eat when we don't farm? Could it be that food will fall from the sky? ”
Zhu Wen was choked by the words of Village Chief Li, and was speechless, still wondering where he had offended this strange old man.
"Maybe it's going to rain tonight, I'll stay for a while and ask Lao Osmanthus to bring you a few more quilts."
"Then thank you grandpa."
Old Village Chief Li was polite to Gu Yan, so Zhu Wen felt that this old man was very unfair, and he couldn't help but be a little indignant.
"It's getting late, let's get some rest early."
Village Chief Li stood up suddenly, raised his head with his chest held up and put his hands behind his back, just like the first time they saw him, he slowly walked into the house and turned on the light in the house.
Lao Osmanthus walked to the side of Lao Li Village Chief, respectfully and obediently, Lao Li Village Chief said something to Lao Osmanthus and then saw Lao Osmanthus nodding and turned to leave.
The remaining old men also said goodbye to Gu Yan and left, only the white old woman Jiang was still sitting there and did not speak.
Everyone said goodbye to Gu Yan and then went to say goodbye to Old Lady Jiang, and it could be seen that everyone here respected this old lady in white very much.
Everyone was finished, and Gu Yan was about to speak, when Old Woman Jiang suddenly stood up and walked over to hold Li Yixin's right hand.
Li Yixin was taken aback, wanted to withdraw her hand, hesitated to watch her right hand being pulled in front of her, rubbed her hands, and said seriously without thinking about it: "Little girl, the old woman sent you a word, sometimes you should cherish it in your life, and you should go with fate at all times in your life."
After saying that, she laughed, laughing a little terrifyingly, and slowly walked into the night, disappearing into the corner of the next room, where the light of the room reflected and lengthened her shadow.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what she means by this.
Behind them, the night wind blew slowly through the long night.
Everyone is very confused and scared, and the road ahead is even more vague and unknown.
