Chapter 3: The Grave Shaft
I also fell asleep after a busy night, it is strange to say, I slept until the middle of the night, I heard my door ring, I went to open the door, and saw a bare-ass child standing at my door, his face was pale, and I was scared, the child beckoned to me, but I instinctively resisted, this is called ghost beckoning, you go with him and it is over.
This child is the child in Butcher Zhang's house, I don't know how to entangle me, probably the ghost is not gone, the child is also pitiful, but I can't be soft-hearted, I shouted: "The dead child from there, how far and how far to roll." ”
The reason why people are sometimes possessed by demons is because you are afraid of him, if you are afraid of him, he will bully you, so you must not be afraid of this kind of thing, and you must be bold and bold.
But I roared, the child didn't go, he was still beckoning, his eyes kept bleeding, and suddenly a black thing flashed, and he took the child away, and I was startled, and when I wanted to catch up, I heard the rooster crow.
I got up from the bed in a daze, looking at the drowsy sky outside, it should be dawn, it turned out to be a dream, it may be the dead child of Zhang's butcher's family to give me a dream, the child died unjustly, the soul can not return, it may be that he was entangled by the water monkey, and he wanted to save him from the dream.
I shuddered when I got out of bed, because there was a row of footprints from the edge of my bed to the door, wet, very small, like a child's footprint, and I knew in my heart that the dream was not fake, but real.
During the day, I went to the dam again, I wanted to summon a soul for the child, but when I arrived at the dam, I found that everyone was pumping water, more than a dozen pumps were almost draining the water in the reservoir, and Butcher Zhang and the old village chief were there.
Because his son had a dream last night, he told him that he was entangled by water monkeys and couldn't come back home, so he asked Butcher Zhang to save him, and Butcher Zhang was such a son, and he was still dead, and he couldn't save him when he was alive, and he must let his soul return to his hometown when he died, so he borrowed all the pumps in the village early in the morning, and asked the upstream to close the gate of the reservoir, and drained the water in the reservoir to catch the water monkeys.
I think this is also a way, I also want to see what the water monkey is like, and when the water in the reservoir is drained, you can see the bottom at a glance, and then the water monkey will not be able to turn the sky even if it has great ability.
There are a lot of people in the village, some people hold their children and stand on the dam to watch, maybe they are rare to see what the water monkeys look like, some stand on the reservoir with a yang fork and wait, especially Wang Hong, he is particularly energetic, holding a rope in his hand and a knife pinned to his waist, looking like a dry fight.
The water in the reservoir is at the bottom, and the people on the shore are very excited, but the farther they hide, they are all afraid, although they are rare, but no one really wants to have a face with the water monkeys.
Finally, the water in the reservoir dried up, revealing the silt, and you can see the bottom at a glance, but it is strange to say that you have not seen the water monkeys, the reservoir is deep, but it is not big, you can see the head at a glance, hundreds of pairs of eyes are staring, how can you not find the water monkeys, it is so strange, there is nothing at the bottom of the reservoir.
Wang Hong stopped doing it, and jumped down all of a sudden, his life was very hard, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he really wanted to catch the water monkey, but he was in the mud for a long time, and he didn't find the water monkey.
The big guys hurriedly dispersed at this time, believing that the water monkey was a water ghost, afraid that they would be targeted at night after watching here for a long time, and even more afraid that the water monkey would run to their house at night and take the child away.
I also wondered why the reservoirs were drained but there were no water monkeys. Could it be that the water monkey is really a water ghost?
Butcher Zhang saw that he couldn't catch the water monkey and came to me, Butcher Zhang knelt on the ground and begged me: "Hu Daxian, your magic is strong, you cast a spell to catch the water monkey, my Zhang Butcher will return the sins that my Zhang Butcher did, let my child be reincarnated." ”
I watched Butcher Zhang kowtow to me, and his daughter was the same, the two of them worshiped me like worshipping the Bodhisattva, I felt a little pressure, and I went down to the reservoir without turning them off.
The mud in the reservoir is very deep, half a leg deep, I wonder if the water monkeys are hiding in the mud, so I let people take a net and scatter it in the mud, and then a dozen men drag it together, from head to tail, so that the water monkey can't run away even if it is three feet in the mud, right?
I saw that more than a dozen men were ready, so I asked them to pull the nets, the rural people catch a lot of fish, every household has a fishing net, and I heard that everyone in the water of the pumping reservoir has prepared a fishing net to catch fish, but the bottom of the reservoir is very fast, except for a few mussels, I don't see a big fish.
More than a dozen men dragged the net hard, but when they dragged it to the middle, they couldn't pull it, and I asked more than a dozen people to help, but it was still the same, the net was stuck in the middle of the reservoir, and it couldn't be dragged no matter how it was dragged.
Everyone tied the net, but no one dared to go down, just look at the middle of the net straight and straight as if there was something, motionless, I didn't dare to go down, I let Wang Hong go down, he was stunned, spit and jumped down directly with a penislature.
But after going down, his legs were also trembling, and when he walked to the middle of the net, he went down without saying a word, and the three-pronged yang fork made a clicking sound, it should have hit something hard, Wang Hong was not very scared, so he ran over and dug up the surrounding mud, but it was strange, it was not a water monkey.
After I looked at it, I went down, I saw the place where Wang Hong dug up, not a water monkey, but a well, I stood at the mouth of the well and looked inside, it was black, there was water in it, it was shaking and shaking, I was still wondering, who can repair the well at the bottom of the water?
But after I looked at the terrain, I knew in my heart that something was broken, and I had dug something that I shouldn't have dug up, and the people on the shore said it was a machine, but I knew it wasn't.
Combined with the topography and looking at the water, I knew that this was a grave well.
I can't be wrong, I look at the topography of the dam to know, here is a treasure of feng shui, there is a piece of land on the bank of the river, like a big white goose, fluttering its wings into the water, with the way of the hexagram named is the flying goose into the water, is a treasure land.
And the thousand mountains are originally the peaks and peaks, surrounded by mountains, the flat lake is like a mirror, the dry horse is noisy, the Kun cow looks at the moon, the dog is in the city, and the Xunji is singing.
And here is built a reservoir, the cabinet falls in Gen Bing, is a cornucopia, although there are many old grave mountains on the dragon's back, they all stand Ding Mountain to the right needle, but the dragon turned, not yet known, and like a rhinoceros, rushed towards the opposite side of the white tiger! This hexagram is made of martial arts and golden hexagrams.
It's a good place, but unfortunately, because of the construction of the reservoir, the dam sometimes opens the flood gate, and sometimes closes the gate to store water, which destroys the feng shui here, makes the living water stagnant, and the people buried in this well will not be at peace, maybe the water monkey is buried in this grave man.
After seeing a well, many people came down, looking at the well in surprise, some people said that the water monkey was in the well, as long as they went down, the water monkey could be caught, but no one dared to go down, and Wang Hong did not dare.
At this time, some people proposed, it was not enough to drain the water in the well, but the machine could not get down, so they had to use wooden barrels to draw water, and the villagers went door to door to bring buckets, and the water monkeys were to be caught today.
The legend of the water monkey is everywhere, and we are the same in Longkou Village, this reservoir has drowned a lot of people, almost every summer, some of them have children drowned, so the water monkey is called a hate, since it can be caught no matter how difficult it is.
More than a dozen men took turns to draw water, and soon the bottom of the well was dry, and the well was not more than three meters deep, but it was not easy to build a well of more than three meters at the bottom of the river.
The jar is not very big, two feet high and one foot wide, and it is the jar used for pickling pickles in the countryside, but I know what it is used for here.
This is still an urn coffin, which is used to bury dead children, and it can be customized to be a person, but I don't know when he died.
This cylinder was carried to the shore, the three people could not lift, it was very heavy, many people came to watch on the shore, the inside of the tank was black, like mud, and it seemed to be floating with a layer of hair, although everyone did not say, but they had the bottom in their hearts.
Butcher Zhang walked over, holding a pig-killing knife in his hand, very cruel, he was not afraid, he hated, wearing gloves, he reached in to grab the black thing, he really dragged out a thing.
This thing is not big, it is furry and smelly, and after Butcher Zhang dragged it up, he used to move towards the ground, and the thing curled up on the ground, motionless.
The people around them were terrified, they had seen this kind of thing, black and ghostly, especially the two front teeth were a finger long, and there were no lips, the face was like a monkey, the eyes were bulging outward, and the ears were like bats, no one had ever seen such a thing.
I was surprised to look at, and it was the first time I had seen it, and I said, "Tie it up and send it to the zoo." ”
Butcher Zhang didn't do it, he had to slaughter this thing, everyone agreed with Butcher Zhang, I knew in my heart that this little beast's life was gone, but it was strange to say, it stared at me, and its red eyes kept flowing red liquid, it could be blood, although it looked ugly, but it was also quite pitiful.
I moved my heart of compassion, but all spiritual things have spirituality, Buddhism said, to repay grievances is a disaster, to repay virtue is a blessing, but I haven't persuaded the butcher, he took a knife to chop up this black thing, the blood flew to the ground.
Butcher Zhang and her daughter were covered in blood, and the blood was smelly and sticky, disgusting that many people hid far away.
