"What an old woman, that's too ugly!" Her face was finally covered with a thin layer of frost, "Lonely, don't you know that there is a way in this world called 'skipping grades'?" ”

"You're jumping too far, I'm not stupid," I deliberately tilted my head. She stared at me hatefully, and suddenly, she smiled again and asked, "Xiaoya, have you heard of the legend of the 'Golden Doll'?" ”

"Golden Doll?" I frowned, "You mean the legend of the area on the banks of the Yangma River?" ”

"Yes, you do." Zhao Yunhan was happy, "I am from the Folklore Department, and I am recently preparing to write a discussion about the superstitious legend of "Golden Doll". So I wanted to take a trip to Yangma River to see if I could collect any useful information. Ah Ye, aren't you bad at all? ”

"Not at all!" Although the answer was very decisive, the action still revealed a slight hesitation.

Zhao Yunhan seemed to be very sure, handed me a copy of the information, and then stood up. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said softly, "Take a closer look at these materials, and if you are really interested, call me." ”

I numbly held the information in my hand, my heart continued to fluctuate, and for some reason my mind was blank for a while, and I was stunned.

The so-called 'Golden Doll' is an ancient legend in the Yangma River Basin, and the specific time has been so long that it is impossible to verify, and the version has become more and more with the passage of time. But the most representative, summed up, are only three. Because the city where I live is only a little more than 100 kilometers downstream of the Yangma River, I have heard of it.

The first is that the 'Golden Doll' is the code for the treasure. During the Tang Dynasty, there was once a wealthy merchant who was finally framed by the imperial court because of his wealth and power. The merchant was not a simple character, he sensed the ruin of his family, and resolutely transferred all his possessions to a place on the banks of the Yangma River, where he built a huge cellar, and fled there with his wife and children. It's a pity that he was caught by the government halfway and died in the prison.

It is said that when he was dying, he wrote six words by hand on a small jailer who took care of himself. And told him that if he could solve this mystery, his life's property would belong to him.

According to this rumor, for more than 1,000 years, countless treasure hunters have searched the 100-kilometer watershed of the Yangma River countless times, but found nothing. It is said that the treasure is still lying quietly somewhere in the Yangma River, waiting for someone to open the rotten gate.

But in my judgment, this legend is probably the most unfounded. After all, the legend does not mention the specific dynasty or the specific name of the character, and I don't know if it is true. With those two vague keywords, it's nonsense at all.

The second myth is that the 'Golden Doll' is a kind of water ghost. There is a unique custom on the banks of the Yangma River, called 'shooting the general's arrow'. It is a form of children's worship of godfather, also known as 'looking for insurance'. At that time, because of the lack of medical care, it was not easy for children to grow up, and because they lived by the river, children were often drowned by the river.

'Shooting the general's arrow' is in front of the roadside bridge or temple, set up an incense case to set up wine and food, with willow branches as bows, red ropes as strings, meet the first passerby, regardless of rich or poor, that is, please drink, explain the intention, and then shoot arrows, recognized as the godfather of children. The godfather is also asked to choose a name for the child with auspicious and longevity implications. Finally, I want to give the belt to my godfather, which means that I would like to take the child well. Godfathers also give money and goods to their children. However, most of these godfathers don't recognize each other after that, and they don't get along with each other when they die old.

The third legend is that the 'Golden Doll' is the god of water on the banks of the Yangma River. From more than 1,000 years ago to the Republic of China, there was a custom of beating Jiao on the banks of the Yangma River. The so-called Jiao refers to the fact that in the past, when encountering floods, droughts, and fires, we had to ask the monks to do the Tao and ask the water god 'Golden Doll' to bless the disaster.

It is said that the contents of Jiao are divided into Qing Jiao, Fire Jiao, Jiuhuang Jiao, etc. Jiao begging for rain is generally held in the Dragon King Temple, and in addition to the general procedures, the practice is also to play water dragons and catch droughts. In the Republic of China, I once dressed the dog in human form and carried it through the streets, I once saw it when I was a child, and I was amused by the funny appearance of those people and laughed.

At that time, I sat on my grandfather's shoulder, and listened to him with great interest, this is to please the wind, the so-called 'laughing dog sky is not clear' auspicious, in order to pray for the purpose of praying for rain. At that time, I didn't understand much, but when I saw the 'Golden Doll' statue that came over the street at the end, I couldn't help but shudder.

The statue was a child wearing a red belly pocket, unable to distinguish between man and woman, and unable to see clearly. It must be very cute, but at that time, I intuitively felt a chill, and in the dog weather, I was so cold and afraid that I almost tore off my grandfather's little hair.

Roughly speaking, these three legends are related to the Yangma River, and many of the special ways in them are only circulated in the Yangma River Basin. It should have been at some point in the past, what happened in the real event that is now impossible to verify, so the current unique customs and habits are still the same.

I woke up from my memories and somehow felt very uncomfortable. After a slight hesitation, he opened the bag and pulled out the information inside.

It didn't take long for me to finish the side stuff, and with a frown, I smiled wryly. This information is not long, only three pages, and the things mentioned on the side are probably the same, about the fact that many children who have drowned in the river in the last thirteen years on the banks of the Yangma River suddenly came back to life on the third day after the death was confirmed.

Of course, they are not completely alive, the medical community has secretly observed them, the 'fake life' state is very short, only 10 seconds, and there is no heartbeat and pulsation at all, and the brain waves do not respond at all, they are simply dead people. But that condition is not a simple reflex caused by muscle contractions.

Because those children, who lived for more than ten seconds a few days after death, opened their eyes suddenly, and they didn't know what they were muttering. And then he died completely.

Someone recorded what those corpses said, and they were shocked to find that the pronunciation and voice of each corpse were exactly the same. In other words, they are simply saying the same thing!

But what exactly is said has not been decided until now.

Is this a coincidence? No, there was a proverb in ancient Egypt that said that the first time is the same, the second is called coincidence, and the third is inevitable. Nothing will be the same after three times is still a coincidence. According to the records, since it came to the attention of the medical community and various other life and mystery research institutions, this recording of death has not stopped, and there have been at least sixty cases of at least sixty cases. With so many cases showing similar results, it's unclear what exactly portends.

I smiled wryly louder, this Zhao Yunhan is ingenious every time he appears. However, she really knows my details and preferences very well. Am I going to refuse such a gift? Admittedly, I'm really feeling better......
