Chapter 80: The Past of the Village
This time, the accident was not somewhere else, it was Huilongling.
After hearing that something had happened in Huilongling, the village chief hurriedly took us to the dam in Huilongling.
Standing on the dam and looking down, we were instantly shocked by the scene in front of us!
I saw that the originally magnificent and rushing water of the Yellow River had become unusually calm at this time! There is not even a trace of flow in sight! It's like a pool of stagnant water!
What's going on? The momentum of the Yellow River before and now it has become a complete contrast between heaven and earth!
This time, even the second uncle was a little moved!
We stared blankly at the scene in front of us, completely unaware of what was happening.
At this time, the village chief couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's her coming!" ”
"Who?" I couldn't help but ask.
In my opinion, even if anyone came, it would not have been possible to make such a big noise!
"River God Niangniang! It's the river god Niangniang who is coming! ”
At this time, the second uncle turned his head to look at the village chief and asked, "What do you mean, that coffin is going ashore?" ”
The village chief nodded and said, "That's right! According to past experience, every time I go to the river in Huilongling, the water is calm and there are no waves. That's when the coffin was about to appear! I still remember that the old patriarch called that coffin the Seven Treasures Exquisite Coffin! ”
Hearing this, the second uncle was obviously a little excited!
I also understand that this time it will be my grandmother!
I turned to the village chief and asked, "Based on the previous situation, how long will it take for the Qibao Exquisite Coffin to appear?" ”
The village chief shook his head and said, "It's hard to say! Sometimes it's days, sometimes it's more than a dozen days. However, it will definitely appear! ”
I nodded, and said no more.
Finally, after telling the village chief to ask someone to help keep an eye on him, we went back to the village chief's house.
When we got home, the village chief told us that during the time when the coffin was about to appear, all the villagers who were fishing had to stay at home and not go out.
And other villagers can't get close to Huilongling! Otherwise, you will be caught by the river patrol ghost and become a water ghost in the Yellow River!
Speaking of which, the village chief also told us a little story.
This matter has to be prosecuted decades ago. The hero of the story is none other than the eldest son of the old patriarch, Deng Zilong!
At that time, Deng Zilong was in his twenties. However, he started a family early! And a chubby little son!
Deng Zilong is a well-known fisherman near Huilongling. No matter how turbulent the river was, no matter how bad the weather, he dared to fish in the Yellow River. Moreover, there is never a time to go home empty-handed. It's really people who live up to their name! It's like a dragon!
Until one time, that year was just like now, the Yellow River around Huilongling suddenly became quiet. There is not a single ripple on the river!
The villagers who live around know that this is the river god Niangniang, who is ready to go out of the river to visit!
Therefore, every household is burning incense to worship, and no one dares to get close to the Yellow River for half a step during this time. I'm afraid that I will be accidentally taken away by the river patrol ghost!
However, Deng Zilong, who is a master of art, doesn't care about these at all. In his opinion, it is rare for the Yellow River to be so calm. Take advantage of this time to go fishing and you will definitely be able to harvest a lot!
In addition, no one came into the water to catch fish during this time. When you get to the market, you can definitely sell it for a good price!
So, despite the dissuasion of his family, he secretly came to the Yellow River with a net bag before dawn early in the morning.
Due to the hazy sky and the fact that no one dared to come to the river during this time. Therefore, the whole Huilongling neighborhood is very quiet! It's a bit of a panic!
There was also a faint layer of mist rising over the entire surface of the river. It looks very weird and eerie!
Until this time, Deng Zilong was a little scared! Regret it!
However, he did not return in time. Instead, he walked to the river. After looking around and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he dared to jump into the river.
Just as Deng Zilong thought, because the river suddenly became calm. There are so many fish in the river! It's almost within reach! And Deng Zilong's harvest is quite fruitful!
In just half a day's work, I have already caught three fish full of nets.
Then, he didn't go home either. Straight to the city by bus.
By the way, at that time, there were no problems with the bus, and it was still possible to take it.
Everything was the same as Deng Zilong expected. Since no one dared to go down to the river to catch fish during this time. Therefore, Deng Zilong made a lot of money!
By the end of the evening, all the fish had been swept away. All that's left is the thick bulging bills in your pockets!
To celebrate, Deng Zilong bought a bottle of good wine, as well as some cooked food. Take the bus back to Wind Chime Village!
When I got off the bus, it was already past eight o'clock. It's already dark! Walking on the path at the entrance of the village, Deng Zilong was in a very good mood! Decided to go to the river early tomorrow morning to catch a fish!
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard someone behind him call him softly.
"Hey!"
Listen to this voice, it should be a woman!
Deng Zilong couldn't help but be stunned, although it was not the middle of the night. However, according to the habits of Wind Chime Village, many people have already fallen asleep at this time. Who is calling himself?
He couldn't help but glance back, only to find that there was no one behind him, not even a figure!
That's weird!
Deng Zilong shook his head and continued to walk back.
However, he had only walked a few steps when he heard someone calling him.
It's still that woman's voice! If there is, it is very light!
Deng Zilong turned around again, but he still didn't see anything.
This made him can't help but start to feel furious! He asked loudly, "Who?" I don't go home to sleep at night, and I mess around here. If I mess around like this again, I'll curse! ”
The reason why he said this was also to give himself courage!
After saying this, he began to walk home without looking back. The pace is also much faster!
However, at this time, suddenly, Deng Zilong heard footsteps coming from behind him. Moreover, the speed is scary! Before he could turn around to look, he felt someone hit him hard. It's the feeling of your whole body crashing into it! directly knocked Deng Zilong to the ground!
Deng Zilong hurriedly turned his head to look. But I still didn't see anything!
Until this time, Deng Zilong was completely panicked!
He got up from the ground in desperation and ran home. While running, he also chanted "Amitabha"!
After a while, Deng Zilong ran to the door of his house. Then, start knocking on the door.
When the old patriarch heard the knock on the door, he hurried out and opened the door.
When he saw Deng Zilong's panicked face, he couldn't help but ask him what happened.
Deng Zilong said that it was nothing, he just bought some food and wanted to drink some wine with him. Worried that he would fall asleep, he hurried and ran back.
Hearing Deng Zilong say this, the old patriarch didn't say anything more. However, there was a faint feeling in my heart that something was wrong!
Then, the two of them sat down at the table and ate a mouthful of wine and meat.
While eating, Deng Zilong suddenly let out a "hey", as if he was promising something.
However, the old patriarch did not speak to him at all.
Seeing this, the old patriarch couldn't help but ask him what was going on.
Deng Zilong was also puzzled! He told the old patriarch that someone was calling him just now. I casually agreed.
At that time, the old patriarch was still working as a scavenger on both sides of the Yellow River. Although the reputation is not as good as it used to be. However, the experience is quite rich!
After listening to his son's words, he immediately understood that something was wrong! asked Deng Zilong what happened to him.
Deng Zilong was also a little panicked when he saw his father so nervous! I told him everything that happened before.
It wasn't until this time that the old patriarch understood that his son had provoked something bad back!
So, he hurriedly took out a small bowl, filled the bowl with more than half a bowl of water, and took out a pair of chopsticks and put them in the water with his hand. Then, he began to mutter. The main thing is to ask who the other person is!
This practice of the old patriarch can also be regarded as a kind of soul sending. As long as you tell the patient who the thing is, the pair of chopsticks will stick together firmly and stand straight in the water.
At this time, promise to burn something for him. Then, throw the bowl and chopsticks out together, so that the sick person will gradually get better!
Of course, this is only effective against some passing ghosts or the souls of their own relatives. Encountering something really powerful doesn't work at all!
After the old patriarch asked for a long time, the pair of chopsticks still did not respond.
In desperation, the two had to go back to their rooms to sleep.
At that time, the old patriarch's daughter-in-law had already passed away. The old patriarch lived alone in the East House, while Deng Zilong and his family of three lived in the West House. It can be regarded as taking care of each other!
Because of the drinking, the two fell asleep soon after returning to the room.
When Deng Zilong is daughter-in-law woke up early the next morning, he suddenly found that Deng Zilong was dead. And the death is quite ugly! The whole body is damp! There was even a large circle of obvious water trails around his body! And Deng Zilong's whole person seemed to be soaked in water, and the whole person was already swollen and broken!
Seeing this, Deng Zilong's daughter-in-law and the old patriarch were all grief-stricken!
Later, some people said that Deng Zilong provoked the river god Niangniang, and he was taken to the river by the river patrol ghost overnight to be a water ghost.
Because things are too weird, the people in the village are convinced!
