"Are you jealous?" Ye Siming asked rhetorically.

I murmured, "Ghost eats you." ”

Night fell.

After eating something in the evening, I came out again to see the night view, in fact, I had seen a jellyfish in the South China Sea before, which can emit blue light, and the sea reflected at night is blue.

But this fishing village is not, I sat under the coconut tree by the sea, full of confusion about what was going to happen, but just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a person in front of me.

That person's posture is very strange, he is bent over, cross-legged, tiptoeing, as if he is walking on tiptoe, I think it is a little strange, how can a normal person walk on tiptoe.

But I know that the people behind the ghost are walking on tiptoe, but it's a little different from what I see now.

Looking back again, under the moon, clear and bright, there was a slippery footprint, and the person seemed to be covered with water, and the road was all wet.

Blown by the cold wind on the seaside, I was frightened into a cold sweat, and I dared to stay longer at that time, so I hurriedly walked back.

Back there, as soon as he told the matter, Ye Siming frowned, "You're not dazzled?" ”

But the old man stopped us both and asked me, "Did you see clearly at that time, he was walking on tiptoe?" ”

I nodded, "Absolutely! I just saw him walking on tiptoe and looked behind him, and I saw a slip of water behind him! ”

The old man's expression became a little solemn, and he asked me again, "Is his step big?" ”

I said, "It's not big, it looks like it's moving slowly." ”

He sighed and said, "Yes, yes, it's for the dead ghost!" ”

I asked him what was going on, and he said that this is the case in their seaside village, where people who died in the sea often come ashore to find a substitute.

He waved his hand, lay down again, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you're strong, you still have many years to live, and I won't go looking for you." ”

"They're only looking for people like me who are too old to die. You guys, just leave him alone. ”

I was taken aback, our attitude towards ghosts has always been incompatible, either you die, or I die, this old man is good, it doesn't matter, hang high, this attitude is too detached.

I asked, "Old man, don't they all say that water ghosts are looking for a stand-in in the water, how can they go ashore?" ”

The old man said: "Water ghosts generally ask for their lives under the water, it is easy to go underwater, and if you drag it down, you will be angry." But these are ordinary water ghosts, and there is also a kind of water ghost, that is, people are very resentful before they die, have a goal, and then prick their eyebrows with silver needles in advance, wear red clothes all over their bodies, and then commit suicide by walking into the sea. This kind of person has a lot of grievances, and after death, he will go ashore to find someone to seek revenge, and that kind of person is the most terrible. ”

I said, "What are the characteristics of this water ghost?" ”

He said, "Yes, that's the one you met!" If the people saw such a dead man, they knew that he was angry and would come out and toss, so they would handcuff his feet with iron chains, and hang a large iron ingot on them to prevent him from coming out of the sea. That's why you saw the man walking on tiptoe, not taking a big step! Both of his feet were chained, where to go? ”

As we were talking, there was a sudden terrible shout from the village, followed by the shouting of many people, the frantic barking of dogs, and then the strange sound of gongs, and the whole village was in chaos.

I whispered, "The water ghost has come ashore." ”

Unexpectedly, after a toss over there, the old man was excited, he put on his clothes and said, "Oh, fight ghosts, some look!" Let's go, I'll take you to see the ghosts."
