I endured the pain and glared at Bai Annie, and I didn't know if this girl was really frightened by this woman or deliberately ignored me, so she obediently followed behind, not daring to say a word.

After pushing me for a long distance, the woman stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and then twisted my ears again, and did not let go.

I did not dare to look at the woman, but could only look at the river from afar, and at last I could not help it, and said to the woman:

"Auntie, can you put your hands down? You've wrung my ears red, and they hurt. ”

The woman let go of her hand and reprimanded me again:

"Now you know it hurts? That water monkey scooped you into the water, not to mention the pain, you don't even know the fart. ”

I rubbed my ears, plucked up my courage, and asked tentatively in a low voice:

"Auntie, you said there are water monkeys in this river?"

The woman asked, incredulously:

"Why aren't the three of you from here?"

"We are ......" the fat man was the first to tell us who we were.

But before I could say anything, I immediately stopped:

"Auntie, we are out of town, passing by here, my sister wants to eat fish, so I want to go down to the river to catch a few fish for my sister to eat."

I pointed to Anne White.

"No wonder you're so bold, let me tell you, there are water monkeys in this river, and many people have fished them in, who doesn't know here, haven't you seen those fallen shoes on the riverbank?"

"Those scattered shoes, fell from the drowning people?"

"What drowning, it's the water monkeys who catch them, I tell you, don't get close to this river anymore, if someone dies, no one cares about you."

After saying this, the woman warned us and urged us to leave quickly, and she left first.

When the woman was gone, I turned and stared thoughtfully at the river ahead.

Suddenly, I was caught off guard and a slap on the head interrupted my thoughts, and I turned my head to glaring at me with white anne.

I'll go, why didn't I see you so fierce just now, you will be fierce to me, you will fight in the nest, I am very dissatisfied:

"Miss, why are you beating me again?"

"Hit you? Why did you say I hit you, you make it clear, who is your sister? ”

"I ......"

Speechless, it's just such a trivial matter.

"Didn't I say it in a hurry?"

"What nonsense, I think you are deliberate, taking advantage of me, and returning your sister, you don't pee like you, and you're not afraid of flashing your tongue."

The fat man chimed in:

"That's it, that's it, what do you say you can't do, you have to say sister."

I glared at the fat man and said angrily:

"Okay, when I meet that aunt again, I'll say that Bai Annie is my daughter-in-law, okay."

The fat man immediately changed the subject:

"Comb, why don't you tell that aunt the truth? You see that she screwed your ears, so fierce, let me touch her again, I have to teach her a hard lesson. ”

"Look at your little bit of appearance, you were so scared that you didn't make a sound just now, you two, you know that you are fierce to me."

But then Anne told me and the fat man that the woman did mean well.

If it weren't for that aunt, perhaps I would have fallen into the river and drowned, and my shoes would have fallen on the bank forever, just like those on the shore.

That's what Bai Annie said.

It seems that she has long seen everything.

Now I am even more annoyed, you know that there is danger underwater, I may lose my life at any time, what else do you want to do in the water!

This is blatant murder.

Thinking about the scene just now, I almost died, and I was afraid.

I wanted to reason with Bai Annie again, but Bai Annie suddenly said:

"Water monkeys are water ghosts."

I almost screamed.

Water ghosts are water monkeys.

But how did this water ghost become a water monkey?

Seeing the surprised appearance of me and the fat man, Bai Annie hated iron and steel again, and sighed:

"In the future, the two of you will still have a long way to cultivate."

Then Bai Annie pretended to introduce me and the fat man in detail the origin of the water monkey, which is also the origin of the water ghost.

Water monkey, because some people have seen its appearance, saying that it is like a monkey, so they call it a water monkey, and the folk are also called water ghosts, literally, it is naturally a ghost living in the water, and it is those who commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water or fall into the water because of an accident, because they are unwilling and resentful, but this resentment is sunk at the bottom of the water, cannot be resolved, and cannot be reincarnated, so they can only wander in the place where they drown and become water ghosts.

The water ghost wants to be reincarnated, so he can only find a substitute for the dead ghost, which is the so-called cushion. They lurk on the shore, or in deep water, and then wait patiently in the water, waiting for once someone goes into the water, they will drag the person under the water, and the water monkey will be infinitely powerful in the water until the person suffocates to death, and then suck the blood of that person, eat his eyeballs and nails, so that the person can replace himself, and he can be reincarnated, and the person who is dragged into the water will turn into a water ghost, to find the next substitute ghost. Sometimes, when they can't wait for people, they will transform into various objects and float on the surface of the water, luring or forcing people to fall into the water and die, to be their substitutes.

For thousands of years, water ghosts have relied on this method to reincarnate carefree, getting rid of the suffering of not being able to reincarnate.

The fat man looked like he was aware and said:

"You mean, the shoes scattered along the banks of the river were dropped by the people who were pulled into the water by the water monkeys? So many people are dead? It's terrifying. ”

"That's why that aunt was so anxious when she saw us in the water."

After Anne Bai finished speaking, I fell into deep thought.

Because I don't feel right.

First of all, the shoes that fell on the bank of the river, as the woman and aunt said, were dragged into the river by the water monkey and became a substitute for the dead, but those shoes, in addition to children, there are also adults, and even the elderly, but so far, we have not heard of any adults falling into the water and dying.

Just like Bai Annie said, the water monkey because he wants to find a substitute for the ghost to reincarnate, so he must be pulled into the water to drown him, and then reincarnate in his place, those who are old have no meaning to it, so the water monkey will only choose children to start, so that even if they are reincarnated, they will have more life, but the shoes on the riverbank are not only children's shoes, but also adult and even old people's shoes, which is a bit wrong.

Of course, what makes me even more puzzled is the possibility of the existence of this water monkey.

If there really are water monkeys who rely on taking people's lives as substitute ghosts in order to reincarnate themselves, the underworld will not know, let alone sit idly by and allow this kind of thing to disturb the order of the underworld.

What I suspect the most is that if Gao Yuan was killed by a water monkey, then why didn't Gao Yuan become a water ghost, and his soul would be separated from his body and caught by black and white impermanence?

All of this is a sign of a problem, perhaps, we are all wrong, there are no water ghosts at all.
