After sleeping for an afternoon, Bai Annie called us up and went out for dinner, it was not yet dark, and we could not enter Gaojiatun'er, so the three of us wandered around the town at will.

It's not that there's nothing to do, and we hope to find some clues of Gaojiatun'er or the village chief in the town.

It's just that as expected, the people in the town are very secretive about Gaojiatun'er, and as soon as we asked if Gaojiatun'er really has a water ghost, we immediately shook our heads and left in a hurry.

In the end, Bai Annie found a homeless man, directly took out two Mao grandfathers, the homeless man looked left and right, and looked at us very cautiously, took us to an extremely hidden place, and told us about Gaojiatun'er.

Since Gao Yuan's accident, the people in the village initially thought that Gao Yuan was drowning because of his misstep, Gao Yuan's bad luck, fate was like this, and Gao Yuan's elders blamed Gao Yuan's third uncle who was only a teenager for the responsibility of Gao Yuan's misstep, and finally forced Gao Yuan's third uncle to pretend to be crazy and stupid to escape the scolding and beating of the elders.

When I heard the news, I was really surprised, the stupid third uncle we saw, the third uncle of Gao Yuan, was pretending to be crazy and stupid?

But the situation of meeting Gao Yuan's third uncle in the morning is obvious to all, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like he is pretending to be crazy and stupid.

When I told the homeless man what I thought, the homeless man sneered at me and said what do you know, when that boy was with me before, he robbed me of my things every day, and he told me that if he hadn't been crazy and stupid, he would have been beaten to death.

Now I really can't judge whether that stupid San'er is really crazy or fake crazy.

If what this homeless man said is true, my sympathy for the stupid San'er has increased by one more point.

How sad and unfortunate it is to save your life by pretending to be crazy and stupid, and to live a life where people are not like people and ghosts.

Then the homeless man went on to speak, thinking that Gao Yuan's death was just an accident, but no one thought that since Gao Yuan fell into the water, the tragedy of Gao Jiatun'er had just begun.

Every three or five days, there are children in the village, for no reason to fall into the water, even if the adults fish up the children in time, the children have long been out of breath, up to now, in recent years, there have been dozens of children drowning, so now Gaojiatun'er, green and yellow, almost no children.

Not only the children of Gaojiatun'er, but also the people passing by Gaojiatun'er, when passing by that small river, there will always be accidents, either the car overturned, or accidentally fell into the river, the adults are fine, but the children have accidents.

Gradually, there were rumors that there were water ghosts in the small river in Gaojiatun'er.

All of this is done by water ghosts.

Especially at night, someone once saw a child passing by the river, and suddenly a black shadow burst out of the water and dragged the child into the river.

The villagers of Gaojiatun'er pooled money and spent a lot of money to invite a mage from other places to do so, wanting to subdue the water ghost, but the mage was a charlatan, cheating on food and drink, burning incense, reciting incantations, inviting gods, and doing a ritual in a decent manner, saying that the water ghost had been sealed in the mud under the water by him, and would not come out to harm people again, so he took the money and fled.

But the water ghost has not been sealed, and there are still children who continue to encounter accidents.

For a while, all the villagers in Gaojiatun were panicked, and everyone was in danger, so some villagers who had lost their children began to open the sluice gates and release water, wanting to drain the river water and see what was at the bottom of the river.

The water at the bottom of the river can be drained and drained clean, and there is nothing but silt at the bottom of the river, and there is no shadow of a water ghost at all.

The villagers refused to give up and dug three feet into the ground, but still found nothing.

I had no choice but to accept my fate.

Since then, the village chief has voluntarily formed a safety inspection team to patrol the river every day, and no child is allowed to approach the river.

In fact, there is no need for them to prohibit it, the villagers of Gaohuang Town, when they heard about Gaojiatun'er, they were afraid that they would not be able to avoid it, and who would automatically find the door and go to die, so the villagers who used to go through Gaojiatun'er to the town would rather take a detour and walk more than ten miles than pass through Gaojiatun'er.

Gradually, Gaojiatun'er became a closed village, only the people in their village went in and out, no one dared to go in, after a long time, even the young people of Gaojiatun'er went out to work, earned money, and no longer came back, in a few years, this Gaojiatun is afraid to move out.

After listening to what this homeless man said about Gao Jiatun'er, I suddenly felt that Bai Annie's two hairy grandfathers were worth the money.

But I also want to know about the village chief.

At noon, Bai Annie said that there is a problem with the village chief of Gaojiatun'er, and I really can't understand what the village chief has wrong.

The homeless man thought for a moment and said:

"Village chief? If it weren't for his wise decision, he set up an inspection team to patrol the river day and night to prevent outsiders from entering Gaojiatun'er, and I don't know how many children would have been killed by water ghosts in that small river. ”

In this way, this village chief is indeed a good village chief who is conscientious and responsible.

And his six sons, who should be members of the inspection team, kicked us out of Gaojiatun'er, although the way was a little rougher, but it was indeed for the sake of our lives.

But just as we were about to leave, the homeless man told us something else about the village chief.

For example, there are only six people in this inspection team, and that is the six sons of the village chief.

This inspection team is a thankless errand, and it is voluntary, there is no salary or subsidy at all, it stands to reason that no one wants to do this, but the six sons of the village chief have never complained, and they have been doing it for many years, so the six sons of the village chief are completely serving the public.

After a long time, the villagers were reluctant to go, so they proposed to add some members of the inspection team and let the village chief's six sons rest and rest, but such a well-intentioned proposal made the village chief suddenly angry and did not agree to it, on the grounds that he did not believe anyone except his six sons.

Since the village chief said so, no one dared to mention this matter anymore, but the villagers of Gaojiatuner felt that the performance of the village chief was a bit too much.

Another thing is that the personal behavior of the village chief has begun to arouse the dissatisfaction of the villagers of Gaojiatun'er.

That is, the village chief took advantage of the fire to rob.
