The tricycle turned off and seemed to have come to a stop. I looked at the tricycle building and wondered.

"Wooden stakes!" A dark-faced man pushed the car door, jumped out of the tricycle, and yelled at me, "When did you come back?" ”

"Bronze Pillar!" I didn't expect to meet my childhood playmates in this place, and I was very excited.

We both ran over and grabbed each other's arms and smiled.

"Where are you going?" I asked him.

"Hey, go to the market, sell beans! This hasn't just been sold, I'm going to rush home! ”

"Huh?" I was a little puzzled, "You don't live in our village anymore?" ”

"Wow, upside down! Now I live at my father-in-law's house! He looked up at Shen Yu from a distance, and asked in a whisper, "Your daughter-in-law?" ”

"Classmates." I hastened to whisper a denial.

"Yes, yes, yes, I know that you people in the city can play, and those who are not married are all classmates." Tongzhu laughed, "What are you doing by this barren river ditch?" ”

I suddenly remembered that Tong Zhu was also one of the children who witnessed the black ship back then.

"Hey, Zhuzi, do you remember when we were children and ran to the Zhulong River to catch fish?"

"I remember it so much! I'm addicted to fish, and I often come here! He looked at the white sand and withered reeds in the old river, as if recalling the scene at that time, "The water is deep here, there are many fish, every time I roll in mud and carry a basket of fish back!" ”

"Then do you remember when it rained heavily when you were a child, we ran here at noon to catch fish and saw a black boat?"

"Black ship?" Tong Zhu squinted, "I don't remember, there didn't seem to be any boats in the Zhulong River at that time, right?" There are two broken ferries, and they are still at the old ferry port east of Liangdian Bridge. ”

"Why don't you remember, you should remember better than I do!" I said, "It's the time when Brother Da Ran took us to run here secretly, as soon as the black boat passed, there were a lot of fish on the water, and we picked up a lot of them!" ”

The bronze pillar looked at me, his brow furrowed.

"Don't you say, it was very hot that day, right? It seems that there is a layer of fish floating on the river, Brother Da Ran jumped into the water with us, and we have picked up all the baskets, right? This thing does have an impression. He recalled, "At that time, a few of us thought it was quite strange, you said that it was good at noon, why did the fish suddenly float on the river." ”

"It's not strange, because after the black boat sailed by, the fish flipped up in groups—do you remember that there was a monster in front of the black boat, and a woman in red on the boat?"

"Aha," Bronze Pillar laughed, "Stake, are you kidding?" Where are the monsters, where are the women, let's just a few bare-ass kids touch the fish! ”

I was dumbfounded in surprise.

"You know better than I do! When the black boat came, you were still fluttering in the river, and when you were about to drown, the woman on the black boat threw you a wooden raft, and you pulled the wooden raft before swimming up. ”

"How could it be! I'm so good at water! How can it be drowned! Where are the black ships! Stake, you don't remember what you saw in your dreams as true, right? ”

He saw that I was still confused, and added another sentence.

"If you don't believe it, go ask Brother Da Ran and them, and see if you remember wrong, or if I remember wrong. Hahaha! ”

I'm still stupid there - what the hell is going on? At that time, several of us obviously saw the black boat coming, and we were all so frightened that the monster in the water in front of the black ship was screaming, and the copper pillar was still trembling in the water, and we were screaming for help.

How could he not remember?

Moreover, how could he swear that Brother Da Ran and the other friends didn't remember either?

"Stake, I won't tell you, I have to rush back for lunch!" Tongzhu looked at me in a daze, patted me on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, we'll see you later!" I waved my hand at him.

He slipped into the tricycle building, drove abruptly ahead, and then stopped again.

The bronze pillar opened the door a crack and shouted at me, "Hey, stake, I really don't remember about the black ship, but I just remembered something!" ”

"Ah, what's the matter?"

"You know the soup in the village, right? The kid who's a lifetime older than you? ”

"Yes."

"Two years ago, when the Zhulong River was dry, he secretly dug earthwork on the riverbed to pad the homestead of his family's new house, but he was caught and fined him thousands of yuan.

"The place where he stole the soil was just east of the bend of the Little Pony. He took advantage of the night to dig the earth, and according to his later account, he dug and dug and dug up, and suddenly he dug up a hard thing, and when he dug it out, he saw that it was a four-clawed iron anchor. There was also a lot of rotten wood around the anchor, presumably a gang of shipwrecks. ”

"Huh? And what's going on? Is that Yantang still in Pagoda Village? What about the four-clawed iron anchor and the boat gang? ”

"People are not there, but I heard that I went south to work. I don't know where the iron anchor and the wood went, but then the people from the antiquities office in the district came and found nothing. ”

The bronze pillar lit a cigarette, and he took two puffs, as if he was about to say something terrible.

"It's all good. The strangest thing is that Yan Tang used stolen soil as a foundation to build a new house, lived in it for more than a month, and suddenly collapsed - you know, this kind of brick and concrete bungalow now, if it weren't for the earthquake or subsidence, it would definitely not collapse! Fortunately, on the day of the collapse, Yan Tang's family was outside, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

After saying this, Tongzhu drove his tricycle across the riverbed, the wheels crushing against the white sand and raising dust all the way.

I walked to the front of the car and said to Shen Yu, "Did you hear everything?" ”

"Hear me—do you still have the vision of the east in your head?"

"Yes."

"Can this car go to the riverbed?" Shen Yu patted the domestic off-road vehicle I rented and asked.

"It should be possible, walk along the shore, where the soil is harder."

"Then let's go find the place where the legend has dug up the shipwreck?"

Her advice was exactly what I wanted.

To be honest, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the Black Ship incident before, I just thought that although it was weird, it was not humane.

I used to think that my friends probably had the same mentality as me and didn't want to talk about it in the village. But when I heard Tong Zhu say it today, I felt that there might be a second possibility, that is, maybe they didn't have any memories of the black ship!

Could it be that except for me and Shen Yu, other people who have witnessed the black ship will automatically delete the relevant memories from their brains? Or is the copper pillar just an isolated case?

I think that in the future, when I have time, I will have to find Brother Da Ran and other friends, ask them about this matter, and see if they have lost their memories like Tongzhu, or if they have retained their memories like me.

The riverbed near the shore was full of barley barley, and the car staggered when walking.

The car drove past the pony mound, turned the river bay and walked two or three hundred meters, and sure enough, I saw a big square pit in the middle of the riverbed.
