Chapter 1 Abandoned Baby Pool
The Bashu area has been known as a remote area since ancient times, because of the long-term civil strife, the people there can not get a full development, resulting in the general low level of education of the people there, because of this, the feudal thinking of the local people is very conservative, even in modern times, some poor villages still retain some superstitious traditions.
I once heard my grandmother tell me about an incident that happened in the village where she was born.
At that time, it had only been a few years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the foundation of the country was still unstable, and the countryside had not been comprehensively renovated.
Their village was located at the foot of a mountain col, and there was a pond called "Tangjiayan Pond" ten miles south of the village. However, the locals call it "Abandoned Baby Pond", as for where it came from, the locals are quite jealous, and it is more common to say.
It is said that there is a family in the village whose surname is Yang, and everyone calls him Xiao Yang. His wife was ten months pregnant and was about to give birth, and the couple were very happy, the man was conservative, and both believed that he had to give birth to a boy in order to inherit the lineage, so they both hoped to give birth to a white fat boy.
But the weather was unsatisfactory, late one night, Xiao Yang's wife actually gave birth early, a few days earlier than expected, but they were not happy because his wife gave birth to a baby girl. The couple looked at the bloodstained baby girl, and couldn't help but look at their own broken thatched house, both of them were in trouble, if there is another one, I am afraid it will be ......
What's more, people are being checked outside, if there are no children, it can be said that they are flowing, if they are investigated...... The couple hesitated.
Later, the two thought about it again and again, and finally decided not to do it endlessly, and threw it away.
But where to throw it? It is definitely not possible to be nearby, which makes Xiao Yang a little sad, and the two of them can't come up with any ideas for a while when they look at the sleeping baby.
Suddenly, the wife, who was lying on the bed, remembered that the elders in the village often said that the villagers were not allowed to go to the pond privately, so she called her husband and proposed to throw it into the pond.
When Xiao Yang heard this, he also remembered that there was such a pond, and no one went there anyway. So the couple made a shot and made up again, and decided to do it while it was dark, so as not to get another incident during the day.
So, while it was dark, the husband turned on the lamp, took the baby girl and walked out of the village. The wife was in poor health because she had just given birth, so she waited in the house for her husband to return.
The night was bleak, and there was only a bright light in the forest outside the village, Xiao Yang looked uneasy, and the baby girl was still very quiet with her eyes closed. Breathing evenly, Xiao Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his pace slowed down a little.
The pond is located in the south of the village, the tall mountain blocks the south side, the sunlight does not shine in, according to the older generation in the village, the yin qi here is very heavy, it is a place to gather yin, also known as the "place of yin", the general yang weak people, not only will be haunted by the yin qi there, but also more likely to provoke something unclean. Therefore, the older generation has explicitly forbidden their children to play there.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yang's back couldn't help but feel a little cold, and the pace that had just slowed down accelerated a little.
The night was deserted, except for the occasional gust of wind, but it didn't make much of a splash, and the surface of the pond was as calm as ever, eerily calm.
Xiao Yang's heart couldn't help but mention, he glanced at the baby girl, who didn't seem to know that she was about to sink under the water.
He placed the lamp on the ground and rubbed his sore shoulder with one free hand. I thought to myself, I can be liberated right away, and I hope you will not be reincarnated into our household in the next life.
But at this moment, a strange wind suddenly blew, and Xiao Yang couldn't help but shiver. Just as he was feeling strange, an uncomfortable look shook him.
He was puzzled and looked into his arms, but inadvertently met the eyes of the baby girl in his arms, and Xiao Yang couldn't help but scream at this look. The baby girl somehow opened her closed eyes and stared at him intently. That uncomfortable stare came from her.
The baby girl's eyes were wide open, her pupils were light gray, she suddenly opened her small mouth, and what she made was not a baby's unique cry, but a thin female voice, and she said viciously to Xiao Yang, "Don't you want me?"
Xiao Yang was so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell to the ground, and the baby girl in his arms was also thrown into the pond by him, causing a wave of water.
Knowing that he had hit the evil spirit, Xiao Yang muttered the scriptures in his mouth, and stumbled home, it was already the third watch, which frightened his wife.
His wife couldn't help but be a little angry with him, worried about whether something had happened, how did she make such a mess of herself, and what if she was discovered?
Xiao Yang began to rush into the door, drank a few large bowls of water, and then relieved himself, wanting to tell what he had just happened, but his mouth was trembling, and he trembled for a long time before a few words popped out of his mouth.
"Daughter-in-law! That...... The place is not dry...... Net, I'm ...... Look at it or ...... Set up an altar at home to worship? ”
When his wife heard this, her face immediately darkened, and she said angrily: "Worship the hammer!" You're a loser! Afraid of what? You don't know the pond yet, no matter what you throw down, even if it's a person, you can't float, what are you afraid of?"
Xiao Yang just wanted to say something, but when he remembered the strange appearance of the baby girl in his mind, he took the words back.
But Xiao Yang's wife grabbed his ears and wanted to train him, but because she was lying on the bed and couldn't get off the ground, Xiao Yang took the opportunity to break free, shrank aside, rubbing his ears while carefully coaxing his wife! I wanted to wait until my wife's anger was gone.
But after a while, nothing major happened, and the matter was put aside by him.
A few months later, Xiao Yang returned from an errand in a neighboring village, and as soon as he returned, he heard from the villagers that his daughter-in-law had been depressed recently. I don't know if it's because of the child, or something else.
A few troublemakers interjected directly, "Eh! Don't say that! Sister-in-law, that's missing my brother! It's been a few months since my brother left, can this sister-in-law not want to? ”
Xiao Yang smiled, his ears were red when he heard it, and he returned home in a hurry.
As soon as he opened the door, his daughter-in-law was not at home, and he couldn't help muttering, "It's strange, I just heard them say that I'm still at home!" Where did it go?"
At this time, he suddenly heard a sound behind him, and Xiao Yang looked happy, thinking that it was his wife.
But when he turned around, a shrill voice came into his ears, "Daddy! You're back! He did not stand still, and collapsed to the ground, and then he saw that it was not his wife standing in front of him, but a girl of a few months with a strange smile on her face, who could not only walk upright, but also carried a burlap bag in her hand, which was bulging.
He was about to run, but his wife's voice came from above him, "Okay! I haven't seen you for so long, and you're so afraid of me! You tiles! ”
Xiao Yang came back to his senses and opened his eyes, but it was not a girl, but his wife, who had just come back from outside, holding a burlap bag in her hand, and was staring at him angrily.
Xiao Yang realized that he was out of shape, and immediately stood up, and went to coax his wife before he had time to pat the ashes on his body, but he was very puzzled in his heart, could it be that he was hallucinating? Seeing Xiao Yang's absent-mindedness, this made his wife even more angry, and she turned around and left.
Ever since Xiao Yang was at home, his wife often became depressed, sometimes sitting at the door several times and calling her but not answering. Xiao Yang couldn't help but wonder, and that nightmare began to haunt him from time to time. Let him also be in a trance.
Every time in his nightmares, it was a girl with a burlap bag in her hand, shouting at him for her father, and then walking towards him with a hideous look, and each time he woke up in bed. Sweating.
This time too, he woke up from his dream and could not sleep again.
He looked at his wife, who was asleep, and somehow she had been so sleepy lately that she was sleepy. The more unsteady he became.
Sure enough, one evening, Xiao Yang was waiting for his wife to come back at home, but it was getting late, but he never saw his wife's figure, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
For a moment, I don't know if he was dazzled, but he saw his wife, who was dressed, walking south. His heart tightened, hesitated for a long time, grabbed a coat and rushed out.
His wife was leaving, but Xiao Yang just couldn't catch up, and as he walked, he came to the pond, and Xiao Yang was sweating profusely, thinking that he was dazzled. Coupled with the events of that night, he didn't dare to stay here anymore.
But when he turned around, he was startled, and saw his wife standing behind him at some point, she was wearing a thin dress, her face was pale, and her body was covered with water, and at first glance, he thought she had crawled out of the water.
Xiao Yang swallowed a mouthful of water, immediately relieved his heart, and took his wife's hand for a burst of blame, pulling her to leave this place quickly.
However, his wife, who usually talks back, has been silent all the way, and in the past, she would scold him with her head and face, Xiao Yang couldn't help but wonder.
Looking back at his wife, where was the figure of his wife, it was not his wife's hand that he was holding, but a rotting baby stump, he screamed, ran forward, but almost fell into the pool, but fortunately even stopped.
I didn't know that I was just spinning in the same place and never left.
He turned back in horror, and it was the scene that kept appearing in his dreams, and the girl was carrying a burlap bag and swaying towards him.
"Daddy! Father! Father! ”
The girl opened her mouth and shouted, but the corners of her mouth kept flowing water, whooshing, whooshing. Flowing to the ground, Xiao Yang's tears flowed out uncontrollably, the burlap bag in the girl's hand was a little tattered, something seemed to break free, the burlap bag gradually oozing blood, and a human head jumped out violently, it was the wife's head, and it was highly rotten.
The girl's face suddenly turned hideous, and a shrill sound came out of her mouth,
"Don't you want me anymore?"
Xiao Yang's eyes were black, his feet were empty, and he fell into the pool, and there seemed to be hundreds of bloody hands around him, tearing his clothes, and strange things surging under the water. In the moments before he fell into the water, in a trance, he seemed to see the frightened look of his wife on the shore.
After Xiao Yang woke up, it was already half a month later, one of his feet was gone, his hand was broken, and the whole person was in a daze.
I learned from the villagers that that day, he ran madly towards the pond, and his wife went to look for him, but he was crazy, shouting, don't come, and then jumped down. In order to save him, his wife jumped herself. He was finally rescued, but he was confronted with his wife, who was told that he was dead and dead!
Suddenly he understood, it turned out that his wife was pregnant at that time, perhaps because he remembered the baby girl who was thrown away, and felt a little guilty. I'm afraid it's a girl again. I don't know how to speak, in order to save him that day, I just ...... Later, Xiao Yang disappeared.
After a while, an elderly man in the village stood up and said that Xiao Yang was not mad, but blindfolded by an infant ghost.
Babies and ghosts like yin, and they love to stay in the yin and make fun of others, but few babies and ghosts harm people. The villagers were a little scared, so they invited a master, who circled the pond for a long time, and only said, "There is black gas on the surface of this water, and there must be dead things underneath, and the water needs to be drained and exposed to the sun for 50 years before it can be resolved." ”
The villagers did as they were told, until the water dried up, and the scene under the water was revealed.
People couldn't help but gasp, and the bottom of the water was densely covered with a layer of corpses, the skeleton was small, like the corpse of a baby.
The most terrifying of all is a strange creature, with a baby-shaped head with protruding lips and a lizard-like body with baby-sized limbs.
As soon as the thing saw the sun, white smoke rose from its body, and it cried out in pain, like dozens of babies crying, which made the scalp tingle, and the villagers were stunned in place, and some of the timid fainted after a while. The dead matter gradually turned into blood and melted into the ground.
And in the pile of bones, the villagers found Xiao Yang, and his wife, among them was a small skeleton, a baby.
Later, according to the instructions of the master, several brave villagers burned the bones and buried the ashes at the bottom of the pond. Since then, it has stopped.
I've been to that village, and the pond has long since dried up and cracked into pieces, while elsewhere the water is quite abundant.
I was a little skeptical about the authenticity of this incident, but I could only tell the locals that in the first few years, every year on July 15, Halloween, I could still hear the shrill screams of babies by the pond.
"Chen Qi! It's time to eat! Mom's voice came from downstairs, I closed the note, and responded, "I'll come!" ”
I forgot to mention that my name is Chen Qi and I am a supernatural enthusiast.
