Chapter 3: The Curse
My school was on the edge of the town, backed by a small hill with a large number of chestnut trees.
There is a depression on the mountainside, and the farmers lead the mountain spring into the depression in order to facilitate irrigation, and the result is that the mountain flood also rushes into it during the rainy season, and after a long time, a large pond of water is formed.
When summer comes, boys run to swim to cool off. However, just a few years ago, a nearby village woman committed suicide by jumping into a pool, and after that, in just half a year, several people drowned in it.
For a while, many people were rumoring, saying that the village woman had become a stand-in for the water spirit, and when it was passed to the back, some people said that they saw the dead village woman floating on the water skin in the middle of the night, crying miserably and gloomy.
Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, for the sake of safety, the school has repeatedly ordered that students are not allowed to swim in the pool.
But at the age of thirteen or fourteen, when the dog is bold, there are always some students with ears on the back of the head, and I belong to this type of student.
It happened to be Friday, and the last class was physical education, and the teacher had something to do, so he asked us to endorse ourselves on the court.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Zhao Zhijie, Sun Tianyu, Liu Bao and the four of us secretly went out over the wall. Originally, they had made an appointment to go swimming, but when they reached the waterhole, they didn't dare to go into the water.
After more than half a year of depression and low self-esteem, my personality is a little distorted, and only when I am in the limelight and is noticed by others, will my heart be steady and satisfied.
Seeing that they were timid, I stripped naked and jumped into the water, stabbed them (stuffy, diving), and wiped the water on my face to laugh at them for being timid.
Half-grown children, unable to withstand the temptation and agitation, as soon as I took the lead, Zhao Zhijie and Sun Tianyu also went into the water one after another, only the timid Liu Bao stayed on the shore, and kept saying that there were water ghosts in the water, let us hurry up.
Because of the corpse offering, I read a lot of books left by my grandfather, and my second uncle often took me out and gained knowledge. Now the sun is still hanging on the mountain, and the yang energy is very heavy, even if the waterhole is really not clean, that thing does not dare to come out and harm people.
I ridiculed Liu Bao for a few words and ignored him, comparing with Zhao Zhijie and Sun Tianyu who held his breath longer.
Sun Tianyu's water quality is better than ours, he won several times, and Zhao Zhijie showed me and Zhao Zhijie, only to see him burrow into the water like a loach, and his head was four or five meters away.
The pond was cone-shaped, and the water in the middle was very deep, and I was a little worried, so I asked him to come back quickly.
Sun Tianyu wiped his face and plunged into the water again, preparing to drill back.
As a result, he didn't see him for more than a minute, and Zhao Zhijie and I couldn't laugh, so we hurriedly called his name and swam over to find someone.
As soon as we swam out of a meter or two, there was a sudden grunt where Sun Tianyu had pierced the fierce son, and a big dragon bubble appeared, which exploded and turned out a large black ball, and there was a large pool of black silk like hair floating around.
"The water spirit, the water spirit is here!" The timid Liu Bao was so frightened that he screamed, and when Zhao Zhijie heard it, he threw me down and turned his head and swam to the shore.
I looked at the black lump, and I was also a little scared, but I thought that Sun Tianyu might be entangled underneath, so I gritted my teeth and swam over, reaching out and grabbing a handful.
This fishing really caught a human hand.
"Sun Tianyu!" I shouted happily, and with a hard pull, the black ball was pushed away by the water, and with a bang, a white face came out from under it, and after shaking, it stopped, and on the pale face, a pair of white eyeballs stared straight at me.
I recognized that face as Sun Tianyu, who had just sunk into the water, but now, he looked like he had been soaked in water for several days.
The strange scene frightened my hands and feet, my heart pounded, and I hurriedly shook off his hand and wanted to swim back.
As a result, as soon as I let go, Sun Tianyu chased after me, grabbed my wrist and dragged me into the water.
Zhao Zhijie climbed to the shore and picked up a branch and wanted to pull me, but when he saw Sun Tianyu's appearance, he was so frightened that he threw away the branch, turned around and ran away with his bare butt and Liu Bao.
In a panic, I choked a few mouthfuls of water, the pain in my lungs was like a fire, I kicked my feet a few times, jumped out of the water and took a half breath, and was dragged down by Sun Tianyu.
When I got to the water, I opened my eyes and saw Sun Tianyu lying in the water like a big king, with the big black ball stuck to his back, grinning and with a weird smile on his face.
My scalp was numb, but I couldn't exert my strength in the water, so I kept dragging and sinking. And in the sinking, the black silk on his back twisted into a strand and wrapped around Sun Tianyu's hand to my wrist.
Finished!
kept choking on the water, I began to lose my strength, my head was also a little confused, and I was about to be drowned in the water, and two big white snakes suddenly swam out behind Sun Tianyu.
One of them was stuck in the black silk and twisted and jerked, while the other wrapped itself around my waist and pulled me to the surface.
As soon as the two big white snakes were mixed, Sun Tianyu's hand was released, and another big white snake also came out, wrapped around my hand, and pulled me to the shore together.
Touching the weeds on the shore, I came back to my senses and hurriedly dragged and climbed up.
And Sun Tianyu was lying on the water skin, his head raised high, the back of his head almost on his back, staring at me stunned.
I climbed ashore, and the black silk on Sun Tianyu's back dispersed, wrapped his whole body, and slowly sank into the water, at this time, the two big white snakes also got into the grass and disappeared.
What's that?
I retreated in horror, vomited a few mouthfuls of water, and was blown by the wind, my head came to my senses, and I hurriedly grabbed my clothes and ran towards the school.
All I can think of is to tell the head teacher. As a result, I met the second uncle who came to pick me up on the playground, but no one found me.
When I saw the second uncle, I threw myself into his arms, cried out with a wow, and stumbled to tell what had happened.
After hearing this, the second uncle snorted in my face and said angrily: "Can't you make people worry? ”
"Second uncle, Sun Tianyu was arrested by Shui Ling, what should I do now?" Before the accident, I was not afraid of heaven and earth, but if something really happened, the whole person panicked, and the six gods had no master.
"You bastard, that's a curse!" The second uncle's face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out the water, and he glared at me and said, "I'll go to Mr. Qian later, don't mention any water spirits, just tell Sun Tianyu about falling into the water, remember?" ”
"Remember!" I responded with it on my lips, but there were turbulent waves in my heart.
I read in my grandfather's book that the curse spirit is the top three fierce spirits among the top ten fierce spirits.
As the saying goes, people die like lights go out, and most of the souls will not remain in the world after the first seven days, even if they are obsessed with it before death, they will disappear after the last seven days.
Only a very small part of them will form yin spirits in a specific environment and wander the world.
Because of this, there are many people who believe in ghosts and gods, but few people have seen them.
But there is one special case, and that is the Spell Spirit.
In the eyes of ordinary people, cursing and scolding are the same, nothing more than putting a few cruel words, similar to not dying well, dying the whole family or something.
But if the person who let the word commits suicide because of this, it will be terrible, and his death will become a sacrifice at the cost of his life, forming a curse that is stronger than obsession.
With the protection and blessing of mantras, the yin soul can not enter the cycle of reincarnation, nor will it dissipate naturally, once this kind of thing is provoked, it is immortal.
Thinking of this, I dragged my second uncle tightly, for fear that he would ignore me.
The second uncle hated iron and steel, glanced at me sideways, and took me to find the head teacher.
When the news spread, the whole school was alarmed, and the teachers were divided into several waves, fishing for people, and notifying parents to inform parents.
The strange thing is that Zhao Zhijie and Liu Bao, who ran back first, disappeared, and at first they thought they were scared and went home. But when I got in touch with my parents, I knew they weren't coming home.
The school immediately organized teachers and students to turn over the chestnut orchard, and found Zhao Zhijie's clothes and a few footprints on the top of the mountain, but the person seemed to have evaporated from the world.
The second uncle saw the footprints and clothes, his face became very ugly, and he hurriedly negotiated with the principal to send me home first, and then he came back to help deal with the aftermath.
After the new house was built, the second uncle moved the red coffin over, and I also moved to live in a small building, and the second uncle also found a girlfriend, at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, I usually call her a little aunt.
When I got home, the second uncle brought my grandfather's wooden box to me, and instructed the little sister-in-law: "Xiuhe, you go to Zhaojia Village and call Zhao Yougang to come over to help, if he doesn't come, don't come back, stay at his house until dawn." ”
When I heard my second uncle explain this, I knew that the situation was not good. Sure enough, the little sister-in-law just went out, and the second uncle said with a straight face: "The spell is difficult, and it will definitely come to the door, but compared to dirty things, people are the most terrifying." It's past 10 o'clock tonight, don't touch any water, and don't go out if you hear any movement! Stay in the house, neither people nor spell spirits can hurt you! Remember! ”
"I'm scared!" As soon as I heard that someone was still trying to harm me, I hurriedly grabbed my second uncle's hand.
"Bad seeds, you have the ability to cause trouble, but you don't have the ability to bear it?" The second uncle glanced at me, but when he saw that I was in tears, his heart softened again, and he comforted me and said, "This matter is not a big problem, but the four of you go into the water, and you will come back, and I have to explain to the school." You have also learned a lot in the past six months, and you can deal with things calmly and have no problem with self-preservation. ”
Before leaving, the second uncle seemed to remember something, and shouted upstairs: "If you really can't help it, open the red coffin!" ”
It was already dark when the second uncle left, I didn't dare to stay outside, and when I went back to the house, I thought of the big white snake that saved my life, and hurriedly put a few sticks of incense on the red coffin, prayed a few words, and then took out the things in my grandfather's wooden box.
My sister-in-law didn't come back at nine o'clock, and I didn't have any hope. At grandma's funeral, Uncle Zhao's words were already very clear, and the second uncle probably was also looking for an opportunity to take the little sister-in-law away.
I looked through the window, the stars were sparse in the sky, and it would definitely not rain tonight, so I checked again to make sure there was not a drop of water in the room, and then I relaxed, tired for a day, and frightened, I held the peach wood sword and the copper coin sword, leaned on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I was awakened by several thunderbolts, and I turned over and sat up, and I heard the sound of rain outside.
With the rumbling thunder, the lights in the house flashed a few times, and then suddenly went out.
Rumble!
A huge lightning bolt flashed, I subconsciously looked towards the back window, under the thunder, I saw a pale and puffy face against the glass, and edematous eyes were staring at me.
"Sun Tianyu!"
I screamed, jumped out of bed, and stepped on the ground barefoot, only to find that the rain had seeped in through the cracks in the window, and the ground was already wet.
