Chapter Ninety-One: The Face That Didn't Exist Underwater
Time passed minute by minute, I listened to the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs in the village are all barking, the lights of every house, also extinguished one after another, until the last light is extinguished, the night begins to be deep, the time should not be early, I decided to recharge my energy and squint for a while, to the second half of the night in action, after all, there is no better choice than this at this time, that is, to take a nap.
I can't compare to Master in this regard, maybe it's a matter of age, every time I go out to work, no matter at any point in time after the night, the slightest disturbance in the Master will wake up instantly, and I am not satisfied, either I don't sleep, so I will always be awake, on the contrary, once I fall asleep, I will oversleep and delay things.
This time is a very typical one, maybe the haystack feels too comfortable for me, I originally wanted to take a nap, who knew that the sound sleep passed, I thought that I was sleeping with my first love Qingyu!
Late at night, I don't know how much time I had, and when I woke up, to be exact, I was woken up, and the mysterious voice came to my ears from the ditch, 'Grunt, The sound of gurgling water came in bursts, as if a person was choking on water after falling into the water, but then I listened to it like a woman washing clothes by the ditch, and there would be this similar sound when washing and patting, and after a while I heard a terrible sound, as if something was constantly stirring in the water of the narrow ditch, not to mention turning the river over the sea, but in this dark night this sound was enough to make people tremble.
At this time, I have completely woken up, and I am glad that I woke up at the right time, but I still did not act rashly, after all, I still can't figure out what is going on in the ditch, I turned over lightly and did not dare to go down the haystack easily and did not dare to make too much movement, fortunately, the advantage of this is that I can lie on the haystack and observe the water surface of the ditch at a glance, and I have a sharp eye that I have cultivated in the dark night, even if a small fish swims over the water, I think I can see clearly.
Just when I was holding my breath and waiting for something more terrible to happen in the ditch, the mysterious sound on the water disappeared out of thin air, I knew in my heart that this was the tranquility before the horror scene, the calmer it was, the more shocking it was that what was about to happen, the world was quiet, it was surging, the world was noisy, it was quiet, this was expounded in a certain yin and yang theory, simply put, I moved, it stopped, I stopped, it moved, and the reason for this was very simple, they didn't want to see living people, Just like we don't want to see living ghosts, because that is not good for anyone, people and ghosts have different paths, can not be compatible with each other, the well water does not interfere with the river water is the best, it takes its yin crown road, I take my Yangguan Road, the eight poles can't hit it.
The water surface of the quiet and narrow ditch was silent for a long time, and there was no movement at all, I was anxious to lie on the haystack and began to wonder if it had found me, so I didn't dare to blink my eyes, I knew very well that they must be nearby or sinking to the bottom of the water in front of me, because the insects around me did not dare to make a 'squeak', at this moment, time and air seemed to have frozen into a vacuum, it was really terrible!
I still stared intently at the river, did not give up, the hard work paid off, I don't know how much time has gone, the ditch floated over the black clouds, through the obscured moonlight missed the glimmer on the river surface, I saw the middle of the ditch in a fairly spacious place on the water surface of the waves, the water ripples in a circle shape outward, wave after wave of more and more urgent, suddenly formed a circle of ripples of the whirlpool, not out of a moment, in the middle of the whirlpool there are two black hands slowly stretched out of the water, Just as its whole arm was about to stretch out of the water, there was a ripple on the surface of the river, and those two hands seemed to be dragged into the water by something, and the two hands kept resisting and struggling, hitting the water surface desperately, and the water splashed on my face, so that I almost sneezed, and I bit my tongue and held it back.
Looking at this mysterious scene happening in front of me, I felt a chill down my spine, what is the situation! Whose hands are those two hands in the water? No matter who it is, there is no doubt that this thing trapped in the ditch must be a water ghost, as soon as I mention the water ghost, I fucking tremble from the depths of my soul, from the teacher who drowned in the Tangcun Reservoir, to the young man who was sunk at the bottom of the pond, every time I encountered it, there was no good fruit to eat, and I was almost killed by themWhy, no matter how terrible a thing, no matter how terrible it is in front of your eyes, you can understand its dynamics in time, you can just in case, but it suddenly disappears, how terrible is this? Did it go around behind you and quietly strike you a fatal blow?
What should I do, this ghost thing is so appetizing, I think about it in turn, no, although the first few times I encountered the water ghost situation are thrilling, almost killed underwater, but every time it can be dangerous, this time the master dares to let me out alone to live, it should be said that this time the situation should not be as terrible as imagined, at this time I also thought that there are a few charms in my chest pocket that I have drawn, although the spells are simpler, not as powerful as the master paints, but, the charms I usually draw, It's no problem to set a cat, a dog, a pig, I think the ability of the water ghost in this ditch is not as great as there, otherwise it would have climbed ashore, this is already very revealing, I can't be so consumed anymore, what am I doing here, I come to freeze in the middle of the night, I want to find out what the things under the water are and the family on the bank of the ditch is a widow's house, what is the story between them, their life and death have nothing to do with me, I just need an answer and a result.
I decided to take the initiative to climb down the haystack to the edge of the ditch to see what was going on, it chose to be silent, I chose to break, I carefully went down to the bottom of the haystack, but my eyes never left the river, the river was still dead and silent without the slightest movement, I think it was watching my every move in the water at the moment, maybe it hadn't noticed it at the moment, in fact, it didn't make a difference.
I crawled towards the embankment of the river where I had just stretched out my black hand, because all unfounded analysis could not compare to the reality I had seen with my own eyes.
I got closer, closer, closer, and finally I was close to the river, my eyes were fixed on the black backwater that looked black without the moonlight, nothing, I could even see the sand and mud at the bottom of the water, the black arms that had just appeared had long since disappeared, and I sat down on the ground with a dejected ass, and scolded in my heart, 'Damn nothing, I saw it clearly just now, was it tricked again, I think I've been busy working since the day until now, and I still haven't found anything, Just when I was disheartened and ready to retreat to the haystack......
Suddenly, two white hideous faces floated up from the bottom of the water, and stopped at a place only a few centimeters away from the surface of the water, as clear as two white lights in the darkness of the night, their eyes were closed, their mouths, noses and faces were completely grown together, and it was impossible to tell whether it was aquatic grass or hair on the top of their heads, how terrifying it was to see this kind of scene alone in the dark night, how terrifying and terrifying, I was glad that although I was afraid, I didn't flinch, I just clenched the charm in my arms, I thought to myself, If I compare them to the two men who drowned here, then the house that is facing the shore must be the widow's house, I looked up at the shore and sure enough, there was a courtyard facing this place impartially, and when I looked back at the two faces in the water again, they suddenly opened their eyes, and they looked dead, and stared at me with bad intentions, as if they wanted to entangle me into the water, although I had expected all this to happen, I still couldn't resist panicking, damn, I asked you to scare Lao Tzu, to see that I didn't smash you to death, I touched the stones on the ground like the two white faces in the water and smashed them, 'plop, plop' splashed so high, the movement was really not small, and then I heard the dogs in the village. Wang's yelling, I thought to myself, the movement was loud, quickly stopped the stupid movements in my hands, threw the gravel in my hand on the ground, and after a while the river surface returned to calm, without a trace of waves, and at this time the two faces floated up again, and smiled at me, I listened to the barking of dogs in the village, and several families also lit up the lights, they would think that there were thieves in the village, I decided to leave here first, damn, play with me, you wait for Lao Tzu to go back and invite the master to come and go, and clean up your group of dead old hatsใ
I hurriedly escaped from the pumpkin shop, ran to a bridge under the provincial highway to make do until dawn, I returned to my village non-stop, when I trekked through mountains and rivers, over the mountains and mountains to appear in front of the master, I found that the master's game of chess had not been finished, what surprised me was not that this game of chess had been played for so long, but that the seat of the side against the master was empty, but its chess pieces would move by themselves, and the master made a move, it pressed step by step, and aggressive, what is the situation, this is amazing, There must be someone sitting on the other side, but I can't see it.
When the master was about to end this chess game, he saw the master beckoning to the air opposite him, and said: "Don't go, go after this game, hey, you old thing, every time you do this, an endgame, you can't tell the winner."
"Master," I dared to shout.
"Shut up" Master probably thought I would ask something, so he was so rude.
"What did you see last night?" asked Master, packing up the chess game.
"Black hands, and two faces that are not in the water," I replied.
"Do you know why those two faces can't come ashore?"
"I don't know"
"Don't have a long brain" Master's tone made me feel a little cold, damn, I got such a sentence after working all night, I was a little angry and said I was helpless, is it because I ruined his chess game? Indissoluble.
"The reason why they can't get ashore means that their souls are destroyed and incomplete" Master may have felt my embarrassment, after all, this errand was obtained by his old man.
"Have you figured out which one is a widow's house?"
"Figured it out"
"You didn't run in vain this night, too"
"Erdan, don't you want to say something?"
"Yes, Master, I'm sure those two faces in the ditch were left by the two drowning men."
"This is something that ghosts know, and I want you to say it here"
"Master, I" Master waved his hand to stop me from speaking, he knew very well what I was going to say.
"The Long March has just begun, so let's do it," Master said, took out a dozen yuan from his bosom and handed it to me, saying:
"You will definitely have a harvest if you go to stare at it for a few more nights, if you are tired and sleepy, you will live in a small hotel on the provincial road, and if you encounter something that you can't handle, don't be reckless, you have to come back in time and tell me, understand!"
"Master, this is still said by your old man, I still don't know the truth that if you can't beat it, you can run."
"Hehe, Erdan, you, you don't have a serious heart, but the bad water is full of stomachs, okay, go ahead"
I left Master's house, went home and slept beautifully, and returned to the pumpkin shop in the afternoon, to be exact, I had not yet entered the village, but found a small hotel on the provincial road to stay, the reason for this is actually very simple, one, there is a place to rest, two, find or hear some valuable clues, and the human mouth is the best medium, where there are many mouths, so the best choice is restaurants and inns......
