My name is Liu Yu'an, I live in Sichuan and Shu, and in the words of my parents, I am a person who was born extraordinary.

When I was born, it rained heavily outside for three days, and I was easily choked on milk and refused to eat, and I was so hungry that I was finally dying, when an old bachelor named Li Ruxian outside the town found my parents.

According to him, I am the body of the Dragon King of the Yin Dynasty, and a child like me cannot be raised, and in ancient times, I would have to be thrown into the river, so that I could become the Dragon King's guardian.

The older generation is superstitious, in order to leave me behind, my parents listened to the words of the old bachelor, not only named me Liu Yu (Yu) An, but also did not allow me to get close to the river, they said that if I don't do this, I will be forcibly pulled down by the spirits and water ghosts in the river!

Originally, this was not a big deal, but my home is on the edge of the Yangtze River, and my classmates in the town grew up by the water, and I didn't fit in with them because I couldn't play with them, so I was ostracized since I was a child.

The bullying of my classmates and the incomprehension of my parents caused me to run away from home in my sophomore year of high school and not contact my family for several years.

But after a few years outside, I encountered a lot of strange things one after another!

Experience 1: Long hair that appears out of thin air

Do you often have some hair on your face when you wash your hair? I'm just like you, except that every time I pinch the hair off my face, I see a lot of long hair, and I'm an inch!

Where the hell these long hairs come from, I still haven't figured out.

Experience 2: A flush toilet that can't be flushed

In the few residences I changed had such a flush toilet that broke down every once in a while, not even to pee down, and the water tank was out of control, as if not to let the water in the toilet overflow, and every time I closed the toilet lid in advance because I didn't want to know what would happen after the water overflowed.

What's more, every next day, the toilet is back to normal, and no repairman can find out what the problem is.

Experience 3: Hands in the water

In 16 years, I swam with my friends in Tianhu Lake, I am a landlubber, so I only dare to play in the shallow water, swim until the evening, I see that my friends are ashore and also go to the shore, but when I get to the shore, a hand grabs my ankle and drags me into the deep water!

Fortunately, a few of my friends reacted and grabbed me in time, and everyone saw the purple handprints on my ankles afterwards!

After all this, my worldview was faintly shaken, but what really changed me was the experience after returning home!

That year, my mother was sick and contacted me through various channels, and after many years, I matured a lot, and I bought a ticket home without saying a word.

The day after I got home, I met Li Ruxian, an old bachelor who made a living by fishing for corpses on the Yangtze River, still as I remembered, with a sour smell all over his body, and people in the town hated dogs.

Maybe because of the experience of the past few years, I didn't dislike him so much, seeing that he still said hello lukewarmly, he still looked good-natured, and kept telling me not to go to the water's edge, this time I didn't refute, and nodded slightly.

Li Ruxian's expression was very pleased, at noon my mother called him to eat and didn't stay, bent over and said a lot of thanks before turning around and leaving with the wine my mother gave him, probably because of the change of mood, I think his face full of smiles with a hint of flattery and humility, there is some pity in his heart!

I don't know when this old man came to town, but he is still alone in his sixties, and it is really a bit bleak in the evening.

Maybe because of what I experienced before, or maybe it was guilt and sympathy, I didn't eat at home at noon, so I packed some meals and came to the Dragon King Temple outside the town.

Walking through the dilapidated front hall, I walked straight to the backyard and saw the old man crouching in the doorway, the small coal stove in front of him snorting and cooking some leftovers.

When he saw me, the old man was very surprised, and welcomed me into the house, because the room was too messy and filled with a sour smell, the old man seemed a little embarrassed, and moved a stool for me and cleaned it up.

I stopped him, brought a table in the room with half a leg missing and a stone cushion, and pulled him to eat lunch first, and chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

When I was almost done eating, I told him what had happened to me, and asked him what he thought, and the old man glanced at the amulet around my neck, and told me that if something strange happened in my life, I should not see it, and that it would be fine as long as I did not go to the river.

Especially the last point, the old man repeated it many times, even with a hint of pleading, and I felt very uncomfortable listening to it.

The old man doesn't have any relatives and friends in the town, and my parents are closer to him because he once saved me, and they send a few bottles of wine every once in a while, and he can be regarded as watching me grow up since I was a child, and he really thinks about me when he says these things.

When I remembered that I used to scold him at every turn when no one was around, I felt even more guilty.

This emotion licked my heart like a fire, I didn't know what to do, I didn't even dare to look him in the eyes, I hurriedly said goodbye after eating, walked outside but didn't want to go home, walked around, came to the riverside embankment.

Looking at this big river, I have a very complicated heart, I have longed for it since I was a child, I want to be close to it and touch it like other children, but now I only have fear in my heart.

Perhaps, I will not have anything to do with it in this life.

Just as I turned around to leave, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a red shadow on the river beach not far away, and my heart couldn't help jumping.

That river beach is not a good place, the river in front of it is downstream of a bend in the Yangtze River, and the water potential is relatively flat, so many corpse collectors like Li Ruxian usually gather here and drag the bodies of the suicidal or drowning people upstream to the river beach, so the people in the town call this river beach 'floating corpse land'

It's almost evening, and there's not even a boat on the river, so what is this man doing standing there?

The next moment, a scene that made my eyelids jump appeared, the man in red actually walked into the water step by step, and in the blink of an eye, half of his body was swallowed by the water!

This man is going to kill himself!

Growing up on the edge of the Yangtze River, many people have seen floating corpses floating down from the upstream, and there is even a corpse village next door to the town.

Do you want to go over?

I struggled very much in my heart, now I am afraid of the river, but I can't do it when I see this person committing suicide, I struggle for a few seconds, I grit my teeth and run towards the person who is about to disappear into the water!

When I ran to the water's edge, I found that the person had disappeared, and the river in front of me was calm, and I could no longer find the person.

I gritted my teeth, my heart throbbed, if I hadn't hesitated just now, maybe it would have been too late, but because of hesitation, a living person was gone!

I wanted to go into the water to find out, but I still had my sanity, a landlubber went down, let alone save people, it would be good not to put myself in it, knowing that things were irreparable, I sat on the ground with my ass and smashed into the water with a hard punch.

But what I didn't expect was that when my hand was in the sand, I felt like I was touching it...... The other hand!

I was stunned and pinched uncertainly.

Cold, resilient.

This is indeed a human hand!

In front of me, there is a person buried in the cement sand, and I am still holding its hand?

Thinking of this, goosebumps exploded all over my body, and I subconsciously wanted to withdraw my hand to leave, but that hand was backhanded and intersected with my ten fingers!

I was so frightened that I jumped up, but with a lot of force, the man who was buried in the mud and sand was brought out by me, and I lost my mind when I looked at the face.

In front of me was a woman, dressed in a big red wedding dress, her long black hair fell like a waterfall, her skin was shiny like clotted cream, and a pair of red phoenix eyes were closed, but she trembled lightly under my gaze, and finally opened them, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes.

I swallowed subconsciously, I'm not Brother Pig, but the scene in front of me is a little unexpected to me.

I thought I was going to pull out a dead body with white hair, but I didn't expect it...... Is she such a beautiful woman?

Red, Woman......

Isn't this the one who was going to commit suicide just now?!

I was ecstatic, as if I had found something important in my life, and subconsciously wanted to ask her why she wanted to commit suicide, and I would enlighten her after asking.

"How do you ......"

However, as soon as I opened my mouth and spit out a few words, the woman jerked me into the water, and I was caught off guard and fell into the water, and the cold and biting river water wrapped me, and my body immediately began to feel a little numb!

I struggled to the ground, but I couldn't get rid of the hand at my wrist anyway, and it wasn't until I was a little confused that my chest was faintly hot, and the hand trembled for a while, and finally let me go, but I felt like she was stuffing something into my arms.

I didn't have time to think about it, because the whole person had already floated upward, and when my consciousness was about to blur, I could still vaguely see the red shadow under my eyes......

When I woke up again, I smelled a sour smell before I opened my eyes, like leftovers in the refrigerator without electricity for half a month, I lifted the oily and black quilt on my body and couldn't see the true color, and looked up to see the old man sitting at the door burning a small coal stove, snoring and boiling in it I don't know what it was.

Seeing that I woke up, the old man turned his head to look at me, opened his mouth to scold me, spit out half of the word and swallowed it back, and finally shook his head and asked with hatred: "I just finished talking to you, why did you go to the river?!" If I hadn't given you my dad's life-saving guy, I would have had to go to the river tomorrow to catch you! ”

I subconsciously shook the amulet my mother gave me, but I didn't expect this amulet to be Li Ruxian's.

"Tell me what's going on!"

I hesitated, and although I didn't know exactly what was going on, I knew that I might have caused a big accident, so I honestly told the old man what had happened.

After saying that, I thought of the woman in red, and I couldn't help but ask the old man if it was a water ghost.

After hearing this, the old man looked solemn, and couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, but this smile looked ugly.

"It would be nice if it was an ordinary water ghost, you kid is finished, and the dragon girl has even given you a letter of appointment when she sees you."

With that, the old man threw a piece of wet paper in my arms.
