【192】A person who hitchhikes in the middle of the night
"Abnormal people?"
Hearing my words, Wei Yajun frowned deeply.
He looked like he remembered for a long time, but he still didn't recall anything.
Looking at his appearance, I was also anxious.
From his face, I could only tell that he had brought the water ghost home. I don't know when, where, or how I got the demons.
"Think about it! When you go to the water's edge, has anyone ever hitched a ride on you or something! I said to Wei Yajun.
"Hitchhiking? This one...... I drove out fishing. Sometimes I meet other people who are fishing, and after reeling the rod, I occasionally meet people who stop by to hitchhike! This...... I don't think there's anything wrong with me! Wei Yajun said to me.
"Oh? Is it? "Hear him. I'm pretty much sure that the water ghost he brought back was the one he brought back when he went out fishing.
"Hmmm! It's just a ride, I don't think there's anything wrong with those people! Wei Yajun said again.
I shook my head and said, "No, if you think about it, think about the people who have ridden with you." ”
"This ......," Wei Yajun struggled to recall.
"Yikes!" Suddenly. He exclaimed.
"What's wrong? Remember something? I quickly asked.
"Don't say it, I really remember such a thing. It's just ......" Wei Yajun hesitated.
I know he's not sure. I smiled and said, "It's okay, say it, as for whether there is a problem, I'll help you judge." ”
"Good!" Wei Yajun answered.
And then told me about it.
He said that about 20 years ago, he went fishing in the Beishan River, which is more than 70 kilometers away from the city.
He went there at five o'clock in the afternoon, and when he arrived, he parked his car on the main road by the river. Then he took his fishing gear and went to the river, about two or three hundred meters away from the car, and started fishing.
He is very fond of fishing, so he has a very complete set of fishing gear. By the time he had found a fishing spot, set up his fishing gear, and spread his nest, it was already dark.
However, he had planned to go night fishing, so no matter how dark it was, it didn't matter.
"And then?" I chimed in.
Because when he spoke of this place, I hadn't heard anything strange about it.
He heard my question and told me. The weather was nice that night and in his experience it should have been very good fishing.
But that night he stayed on guard until two o'clock in the middle of the night. I only caught two or three small fish that were about an inch long.
He had planned to fish all night, but he was not interested in catching fish for a long time. I was going to pack up my fishing gear and go home.
Just as he was packing up his fishing rod, a man greeted him on the riverbank.
"How? Did you catch a fish? ”
Because it was too dark at night, he only vaguely saw a figure on the shore. But by the Beishan River, there are many people like him who fish at night.
So, he subconsciously thought it was someone else fishing.
So, he responded at the time: "I didn't catch it, I didn't have a fish tonight." ”
"Oh, that...... Are you ready to take the rod and leave? The man on the shore asked again.
"yes, home. This fish has no mouth. I'm not interested in fishing! Wei Yajun replied.
"Oh, where are you going?" The man on the shore asked again.
"I'll go back to Zijiang!" Wei Yajun replied.
"Really? Can you take me for a while? Just take me to the town of Huali in front of you! I'll give you a little money! Said the man on the shore.
They are all fishermen, Wei Yajun didn't think much about it, and said: "What kind of money to give, by the way!" Let's just pack up our fishing rods and let's go! ”
However, when he had finished packing up his rod and walked to the shore, and when he came to the place where he had parked, there was no one around.
"Huh. What about the guy who wants a ride? At that time, Wei Yajun also muttered suspiciously.
He also looked around, and there was no one.
So, he put his fishing gear in the car, and before driving, he deliberately honked his horn many times and flashed his lights several times. See if anyone comes over for a ride. But he waited for a while and no one came.
"You can't go first, right? However, during this time, I didn't see any cars walking from here. Wei Yajun muttered to himself.
Then he honked the horn a few more times, but no one responded.
So, he thought that the man was not leaving, or that he was still fishing somewhere by the river.
He didn't think much of it, and drove away.
When he got home, it was already past four o'clock in the morning, and he simply washed up and went to bed.
"Mr. Tang. Is this something weird for us? After Wei Yajun finished speaking, he asked me.
I groaned, and I wasn't sure what he was talking about. So I asked him, "Think about it." When I was driving home that day, did I encounter anything wrong on the way? ”
"No! I drove all the way from Beishan River to my home. I didn't stop the car on the way, and I didn't encounter anything unusual! Wei Yajun said.
He had just finished speaking. A woman who had been next to her suddenly said, "Wait a minute, that ...... I had an incident and I don't know if it has anything to do with what he said. ”
This person is Wei Yajun's wife.
Hearing her words, I nodded to her and said, "Tell me what you've encountered." ”
"That...... I remember, it seems to be the day he said it. He used to go out fishing a lot, and it was normal for him to come back in the middle of the night, and I was used to it. But that day, I was asleep before he opened the door and entered the house, but after he entered the house, I suddenly woke up. ”
"How so? It's a weird feeling, the kind that would have slept well. All of a sudden, I was sober, and very, very sober. I've never been in a situation like this. ”
After that, he went to bed and fell asleep very quickly, while I did not fall asleep until dawn. When it was dawn, I got up and drove my children to school. And then my son, that's him. He found a piece of paper money on the co-pilot's footpad. ”
"Right? Son! ”
Her last words were addressed to the young man next to her with a plaster cast on his foot.
When the young man heard this, he nodded heavily: "That's right, I did see a piece of paper money, wet, I picked it up and threw it out of the car." ”
After he finished speaking, Wei Yajun's wife continued: "Hmm! Yes, that day, I think about it now, and I know for sure it was that day, because he hasn't gone out for night fishing in any time since. At the time, I thought it was strange that someone had stepped on the paper money and brought it to the car. ”
"I was going to ask him when I got home, but after sending my son off, I forgot about it when I came back. If he hadn't said it today, I would have forgotten about it completely. ”
That's right! Now it is certain that this is the thing. The water ghost he brought back was the one he brought back this time.
"That's right! That's it. The problem lies in the paper money, and that paper money is the fare it gives you. I said to Wei Yajun and the others.
"Huh? Fare? What's the fare? Wei Yajun shouted in horror.
"You promised it, let it ride, it gave you the fare!" I said.
"What? You...... Don't scare me. There was no one in my car that night! I didn't bring anyone! Wei Yajun said nervously.
"No, you promised it, and it got into your car and paid you the fare. It's just that instead of sending it to that town, as it said, you took it home. I said.
"Mr. Tang, you ...... Don't scare us. I...... When I came back that day, I came back alone. I didn't bring anyone home! Wei Yajun's voice is much louder.
"Hey......" I sighed.
Then he asked him, "Has your house been flooded since that day?" ”
"This ......," Wei Yajun hesitated.
And his wife nodded again and again next to him at this time: "Yes! Right! Right! There was no one at home that day, and when I came back, the kitchen faucet didn't know how to turn on, the kitchen was flooded, and even the living room was flooded, and I dragged it for a long time to clean it. ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, then asked, "Have you noticed that the water coming out of your water pipes is a little muddy lately?" ”
"That's right! That is true! Wei Yajun's wife nodded.
After she finished speaking, Wei Yajun also nodded and said, "Well, yes! I also called the water company about this. When they came, they didn't check out anything. ”
"Of course, because you brought a water ghost home that day!" I said to him with a light smile.
