Chapter 978: The Lady in the Water (3)
I leaned over and asked again out loud.
Now the old lady heard it clearly, and then she said to me, "Last night, the river woman came out and caught a girl and went into the water, and the people in the village were afraid of being called souls. ”
The old lady gestured to me as she spoke.
After a long time, I figured out that the river woman that the old lady said should be a water ghost drowning in the sea.
The old lady told me that in fact, at this time of year, living in these remote seaside villages would be haunted by water ghosts and arresting people.
This is actually the reason why many of the old villages near the sea in Hainan are deserted, after all, whose children are the meat of their hearts, who wants their babies to be dragged away by water ghosts.
The old lady said that last night the water ghost caught a girl in the village and threw her into the water, because someone had just died, and I happened to knock on the door today, and the people in the village were afraid of being called by the ghost.
If it were Zhong Bai and a man shouting, it would probably be no problem.
Feelings treat me like a female ghost!
I thought about it for a while, and then asked the old lady, "Grandma, you're not afraid." ”
"Don't be afraid, not afraid." The old lady waved her hand and said, "It's a lot old, it's over, what's there to be afraid of." ”
I stopped talking, but as I ate, I suddenly heard a girl singing in the back room.
I know that there are some rules in the old countryside that women are not allowed to serve on the table when guests eat to show respect for the guests.
I glanced at Zhong Bai on the other side, since he was indifferent. 360 Literature Network
After thinking about it, I simply told the old lady to call her daughter out of the house to eat together.
After finishing speaking, the old lady ignored me, I thought I didn't hear it, and after saying it several times in a row, the old lady lowered her head and didn't speak.
Then she finally sighed, told the truth, and felt sad for a while.
She said that there is an old daughter in the family, who is twenty-five years old this year, and she looks pretty good, but her heart is too high, and the people who propose her relatives are crowding the door, and there is no one she can look at.
A few years ago, she and her wife, seeing that this girl was getting older and older, just refused to marry.
Later, I wondered if this girl had a crush in her heart, and if she had, the conditions would be similar, so I agreed.
As a result, the mother knocked on the side and asked, and the girl was really ashamed to admit it, saying that she was really on good terms with a young man.
The young man was from the village below the river, and he was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was a talent, but his parents were dead, and he made a living from fishing.
They had made a private agreement for life, and the young man was to come to her every night for a private meeting, and she had decided that if her parents did not agree, the girl would rather die at home for the rest of her life than marry.
After hearing this, the old couple was also angry and happy, happy that their daughter finally had someone to fancy, and she was so angry that her daughter didn't say a word, so she made a private agreement with others for life, and she was not afraid of being deceived.
At night, the more the old lady and her wife Old Man Li thought about it, the more wrong it became, and there was also a river on the seaside.
Shanghe Village and Hexia Village are quite close, but in fact, there is a big river in the middle.
It takes dozens of miles of mountain roads to find a pontoon bridge floating on the river to cross the river, so it often takes a day for two villages to go back and forth, and my daughter said that they have a private meeting every night, how is this possible?
Besides, it was the flood season at this time, the waves on the river were monstrous, and there was no night crossing, even if he had great ability, he couldn't cross the big river moat, unless he swam through the big river!?
