Chapter Twenty-Eight: Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas, Subscription Please!!) )
In many legends, it is said that the water in the world is the same source, the yellow spring and the river between the sun, in fact, are all connected together, but some flow in front of people's eyes, and some run in the place where people can't see.
The Tan family supported the ferryboat and walked on the water, some crossing the living and some crossing the dead.
The Tanjia boat that crosses the dead, Dong Mei'er has never seen one, but she has only heard of it. The little fat man's coffin boat is definitely not counted, it is a small business.
But the Tan people's views on life and death are really inherently different from those on land.
The Tan family feels that they are all creatures who have come to the world for a while, and they have nowhere to go after they breathe, so they have to stay in the world and wander, which is quite pitiful, and it is good that the two do not disturb each other, and they are not afraid.
So although Dongmeier has never seen ghosts, she is actually not too afraid of these ghosts, except for eating children.
The water ghost got annoyed and landed on the riverbed.
Dongmei'er also dived down and landed on the riverbed.
The mud and sand at the bottom of the river were stirred up, and Dongmei'er saw that the water ghost still didn't mean to eat, so she was even more relieved, and dived directly to the annoying side, grabbed one of his feet, and wanted to drag it up.
The water ghost was obviously taken aback, she didn't seem to have noticed before, and a child followed her to dive down, and now this child is not afraid, and actually started to rob people with her!?
Outrageous!
But the methods of this water ghost seem to be very ordinary, and there is no ability to make waves, seeing that Dongmei is coming to rob people, she will not do anything else, so a pair of hands appeared in the black fog, grabbed the annoying hands, and dragged them in the opposite direction.
A sturdy half-grown child who is good at water, and a water ghost who lacks means, face off underwater.
For a time, the two sides were evenly matched.
Sun was annoyed and was pulled in the middle, and there was no response.
Dong Mei'er felt that it was not a way to go on like this, and in the end she suffocated the annoyance, but the water ghost won, so she grabbed her heart and scratched her liver while thinking of ideas.
What should I do if she doesn't have enough strength to drag it down?
Looking for a helper?
Where can I find someone to go at this juncture? When they found the pier, they were already drowned when they were annoyed, and the pier was a child in the mountains, and it seemed that he didn't know how to water.
Even if you find it, you can't help it, right?
Huh? Isn't the big tail also on it?
But this cat is afraid of stagnant water, and has never licked its paws for a long time when it gets a little water, and it has never touched the water since Dongmei fished it out of the water.
What to do, what to do......
Well! That's right! Dong Meier touched a bundle of hemp rope around her waist, this bundle of rope is what she usually uses for the big tail to dry small fish, and when she doesn't use it, she puts it on her body, or her mother sees it and always nagged her, thinking that she was in the way of drying fish for the cat, and she always said that she would throw it away.
Recently, I went to the north shore to deliver fish to Brother Zhuzi, and she also used this rope to tie the fish basket, so it is still on her waist.
Dong Mei'er hurriedly reached behind her with one hand, shook the hemp rope away in the water, wrapped one end tightly around her annoying feet, and then pulled the other end and quickly floated up.
The water ghost saw that the child on the other side suddenly let go and floated up, and was a little stunned for a moment, but when she came back to her senses, she saw that a thin rope had been wrapped around the boy's ankle, and the other end went straight up to the water, stretched straight.
The water ghost also wanted to untie the rope, but Dong Mei'er tied the dead knot, and she couldn't untie it.
has not been a person for many years, and she is not very good at doing such fine hand work.
A huge force passed down the rope, and the water ghost tried to pull it again, but found that she couldn't maintain a confrontation like she had with the little girl before, the force above was too great, and she couldn't pull it.
Seeing the boy quickly float upwards from the riverbed, the water ghost decided to let go this time.
She didn't want to be thrown out of the water, she didn't look good on her face.
The other end of the hemp rope is tied to the hind feet of the big tail, and the big tail soars up and pulls the annoyance up from the bottom of the river, which is simply a breeze.
It's a cat, of course it knows what it saw just now, but Dong'er went into the water to save people, and it doesn't like things in the underworld anymore, and it can't go.
When Dongmei tied the rope to its feet, it immediately understood, thinking about how happy she was drinking whitebait soup in Sun's mansion, and the big tail felt that it was also appropriate to exert strength.
After getting tired of getting out of the water, the big tail flew lightly, and when he turned around, he took the unconscious annoyance to his back, and then it was steadily suspended on the surface of the river.
After Dongmei climbed up, she first probed her annoying snort, and felt that this childish spirit was like a gossamer, and her physique was really too weak.
It's only a little bit of work, and if she goes into the water, it won't be a big deal if she plays a little longer.
When he flew into the house where Sun was annoyed, the big tail shook the water on his body, quickly licked his paws, wiped left and right, and turned back to lick his body, bathing himself, it hated the water on its body the most, it was wet and cold, it was too uncomfortable.
The children of the water people know a little bit about how to treat people who are drowning.
Dong Mei'er first pinched open the annoying mouth, and pulled out the mud and sand foreign objects in his mouth, and then, Dong Mei'er didn't care that her body was also wet, she first took off the wet clothes on her annoying body, threw it aside, and then dragged the quilt over him and covered him.
Annoyed by the stove in the house at a point, much better than the earthen stove on her boat, Dong Mei'er saw that the breathing fluctuations were a little weak, but quite regular, but the body was a little cold, I knew that it should be no big deal.
The stove was lit, the room was warm, he rested again, and when he woke up, it should be too late for Dongmei'er to hurry up.
In fact, she had already noticed the change in the big tail, this guy seemed to have eaten too many good things recently, the whitebait soup that the Sun family drank heavily, the dried fish bibimbap and chicken soup that the pier and pillar generously fed to it, and the piles of chicken bones and fish bones or something, it all ate like a cloud.
Now after the big tail transforms, it's much more than on the night of her birthday.
When it first transformed, its big tail was as big as a calf, but now, seeing it taking a serious bath and licking its fur, lying on the ground like a tall horse.
Moreover, in the past, when the morning light was faint, the big tail shrank rapidly, and lost the magic of flying around, and now sometimes she and Dunzi forgot the time, and when they saw that the eastern sky was white, they remembered to go home, and the big tail has been maintaining the appearance after the transformation, waiting for her.
When she is sent home, she slowly changes back to her original appearance.
It seems that Big Tail is becoming more and more able to control his transformation magic, and is no longer limited by the night, as if he is on call for Dongmei'er.
I don't know, what would happen if Dongmei was in broad daylight, with the big sun on her head and her big tail flying?
Dong Mei'er didn't dare to think that if it really flew like that, the big tail would be killed as a monster.
Even Dongmei herself will be regarded as a person who knows witchcraft, and will be tied up with ropes by those people on land, beaten half to death, and then tied up with a big stone and thrown into the river to drown.
They seem to like to treat women like this.
They cursed all sorts of bizarre charges, and a crowd of people bustled and tied up a weeping woman, stuffed her into a pig pen, and threw her into the water.
Dongmei'er saw her once from afar when she was a child, and was discovered by her fifth sister-in-law, who slapped her into the cabin and forbade her to look at it again.
Later, I heard my sister say that people in the interior, call this a sinking pond, and those places where there are no big rivers, they pick a pond and sink people. The river on our side is wide and can sink anywhere.
Dong Mei'er asked, "Why is it sinking?" ”
"Who knows? They themselves may not be able to explain it clearly. The younger sister closed the book and shrugged her shoulders.
"Ahem, cough, cough", a few faint coughs interrupted Dong Mei'er's train of thought.
"I'm awake." Dong Mei'er wanted to hurry home before dawn, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she felt.
"You just forget about the life-saving grace." Dong Mei'er drove her big tail out of the terrace and flew home.
In addition to being really anxious, she was also afraid that after waking up, it would be better to ask this and that.
You slowly get confused alone, you can't die anyway.
