Chapter 11: The Blue Ghost
I didn't think much about it at the time, climbed into bed and squinted and slept until about three o'clock in the afternoon, and after hurriedly getting some food, I took a firewood knife and a borrowed 38 big cover, and pulled the dwarf to the reservoir.
The sun had already reached the top of the mountain, and the red afterglow was sprinkled in the reservoir, like a layer of gold plated on the wrinkled waves of water, and it was really a beautiful sunset—just near dusk.
The folks on the other side of the river went home one after another, and when I saw that the time was almost up, I climbed into the boat, and talked nonsense with the dwarf, while searching aimlessly on the reservoir.
When the moon came out, everything was silent, and only the cool breeze and the sound of wooden oars stirring the water were singing, and I was a little frightened when I heard it, and I couldn't help talking loudly to the dwarf, trying to dispel the fear in my heart.
"Shorty, do you say that Zhang Fang's little girl doesn't like you anymore, why do you keep pestering me?"
The dwarf looked very excited, and I don't know if it was because he came to hunt for treasure or if he heard me mention Zhang Fang, he grinned, put away the wooden oars, stood on the boat and pulled his pants, and said to me with urine.
"I don't care who she likes, anyway, you have to help me sleep with her, grandma, as long as I think of her twisted big ass, I can't eat and sleep!"
The dwarf poured out a bunch of words, and the urine was finished, and he squatted down and rubbed his hands in the water, I thought that he must have peed on his hands, and smiled secretly, ready to brush a few words, but suddenly "snorted" in the reservoir...... Whoosh...... Whoosh.
Turning my head, I saw that there were several dark shadows on the opposite bank who were busy working, and they were pulling something very hard, making a noise in the reservoir, and by the dim moonlight, I saw that it was a big grass carp jumping up.
Stealing fish?
I thought to myself, and couldn't help but curse secretly: "Damn, the guts are too fat", picked up the 38 big cover, pulled the bolt, and fired a shot into the sky, "bang" with a loud bang, startling several waterfowl to spread their wings and fly away.
A few people on the other side glanced at me and saw me coming in a boat, and they were so frightened that they ran away, and they didn't even dare to ask for fishing nets and shoes, and I yelled at them angrily.
"Damn, you have the ability to steal fish, don't run away if you have a kind, see if your grandfather doesn't shoot you!"
The dwarf also stood up with a snort, stretched out his hand to make a small trumpet next to his mouth, and shouted: "Don't run, see if grandpa catches you and doesn't kill you!" ”
I put down my gun, patted the dwarf, asked him to row the boat over, collected the fishing nets and shoes of those people, and looked at a few big grass carp that were jumping around, I patted the side and let the dwarf continue rowing, pointing to the burned island.
"Go over there and take a look, we can't eat these fish, on a hot day, you can give the village chief, Fangzi, and Widow Zhang tomorrow to send a little to each person!"
The dwarf nodded, grinned, and slapped the water with a wooden paddle, making a noise, in fact I regretted letting him go and deliver fish to Widow Zhang, because since then, the relationship between the dwarf and Widow Zhang has become very delicate, and he runs to her house when he has nothing to do, and sometimes he does not even come back at night.
What the dwarf said in the afternoon, I just thought he was talking nonsense and didn't care, but what happened next was creepy.
When the boat was back in the middle of the reservoir, the glowing ball finally reappeared, and I was overjoyed, and hurried to the dwarf.
"Hurry up, see me, lean over!"
The dwarf looked at the glowing ball, and was so excited that he stood up and rowed hard, and the boat slid so fast that it was there in the blink of an eye.
I reached into the water, ready to scoop it up as the boat slid away, but I didn't expect the glowing thing to pass through my fingers, and I screamed at the dwarf.
"Stop!"
The dwarf had rowed the boat for several years, and the wooden oars were used very smoothly, and the boat spun in place under his control, and I climbed on the side of the boat, my eyes fixed on the gentle ball of light.
A strange scene suddenly came at this time, and suddenly a blue figure floated up in the clear water, and the water was very violent, and I could not see the appearance of the shadow clearly, but I could be sure that it was the shadow of a man, wearing the blue mask of Dorton, and looking at me fiercely.
At that time, I felt a sigh in my heart, and the cold sweat on the back of my neck instantly moisturized, and the hand holding on the side of the boat became weak, and my chin slammed the side of the boat.
The dwarf didn't seem to see it, and thought I had fallen in excitement, so he laughed with joy as he closed his mouth.
"Huh...... Brother Shanzi, no one is robbing us, you slow down! ”
I rested my chin on the side of the boat, my eyes still staring into the water, but suddenly the figure disappeared, and something beneath the water glowed a gentle blue.
"Am I dazzled?"
After thinking about it, I reached out and rubbed my eyes, but I still didn't see the figure, so I had to turn over and sit up, reach out and wipe the cold sweat from my forehead and say to the dwarf.
"I don't know what's glowing under the water, you see!"
The dwarf came down and lay down on the boat, the tip of his nose almost touching the water, and after a moment he sat up happily and rubbed his hands.
"Brother Shanzi, we really sent it this time, that thing is either a night pearl or a pearl, it's always valuable!"
I was afraid of the blue figure, and I didn't dare to look into the water, and I couldn't be sure what was underneath the water, but it was certainly not the pearl and the pearl of the night that the dwarf had spoken, because it was very deep underneath, and although those two things could glow, their penetration was very limited.
There was a rope on the boat, I tied the wood knife and let the dwarf drop it, and a rope almost stopped falling when it saw the tail, the rope was about twenty meters long, and I was afraid of drowning, and I did not dare to go down to fish.
The dwarf pulled the rope up and threw it aside, and Hachi spat in the water, and then frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a moment he said to me happily.
"Brother Shanzi, do you think it's okay, let's go to the township tomorrow to get some water pipes and come back, put one end in our mouths, put the other end on it, and we will definitely be able to fish it up if we jump down!"
It is undeniable that the dwarf's method is good, but I still have concerns, the blue-faced Dordon is too weird, if it is a demon with deep resentment, the bottom of the water is not as good as the ground, and when the time comes, it is not a dead end.
Seeing that I was hesitant, the dwarf stabbed me hard, reached out and shook the water stain on my face.
"What else do you want, wealth and danger, this is what you said, is it possible that you are cowardly?"
I glared at the dwarf man and told him the shadow just now, but he smiled happily, sat down in front of me, and said to me seriously.
"Brother Shanzi, you have hit a ghost a few times, and now you are still alive and kicking, even if there is a ghost, what can you do, let's come during the day, if it is really a valuable thing, you don't fish, wait for others to find out, don't blame me!"
I thought about the words of the dwarf very seriously, and thought that it made sense, whether there are ghosts or ghosts for the time being, the so-called wealth and danger are sought, rather than living in poverty and grievances, it is better to gamble boldly.
"Cheng, let's go get some pipes tomorrow, but this matter will have to wait for three days, and you will fish it alone!"
The dwarf was a little incomprehensible, and when he heard me say that he was alone, he immediately stopped doing it, pointed at me and scolded, saying that I was afraid of death, and that I was a coward, but in fact he did everything without consideration, and when he went into the water during the day, there was no obstruction in this view, and the opposite bank was full of fields, which was easy to be discovered.
Three days later, the day of my handover with the village chief, the men, women and children of the village have to go to the meeting, and that is the best time.
I told the dwarf the reason, and the dwarf thought for a long time before he reacted, grinned and agreed to me, and poured water on my face, and then rowed back.
I couldn't be sure if the thing was worth anything, but seeing that the dwarf was in high spirits, I didn't say anything about it, so I grabbed a large grass carp, cut off its head with a wood knife, and after washing it, I went back to the house with the dwarf.
We drank a lot of wine in the evening, and only after a grass carp had only bones left before we climbed into bed, and the next day it was drizzling outside, and a thick white mist was hanging over the reservoir.
The dwarf asked me for a hundred yuan, and he and I carried the fish to the other side, first to Zhang Fang's house, but her house had not yet opened, so I had to ask the dwarf to send the fish to Widow Zhang, and told him to hurry back early.
The dwarf saw that the bag containing the fish was tied to death, so he didn't bother to untie it, and rushed to Widow Zhang's house with it, and I waited left and right at the door of Zhang Fang's house, but I didn't see him come back, thinking that this dwarf was really grinding, and it took so long to send something.
In fact, I don't know what happened to Widow Zhang that day, only that when he came back, his newly bought jeans were torn, and the front of his crotch was still very wet, and when he saw me, his words flickered, as if he was hiding something.
"You kid, what about the fish, it's not a branch, you have given it to Widow Zhang?"
The dwarf scratched his head embarrassedly, turned his face sideways like a child who had done something wrong, and said in a slur manner.
"Mountain...... Brother Shanzi, you also know who Widow Zhang is, I am her opponent, and her pants are torn by her! ”
I looked at the short man's pants, the pants were exposed, and when I saw that there was no one around, I had to find another hundred dollars for him, and told him.
"Take it, you go to the township by yourself, buy a few new clothes by the way, and I'll propose to you after I see the superior!"
The dwarf glanced at me gratefully, grabbed the money and ran away, I smiled happily, and said to myself: "This dwarf, run slowly, don't fall!"
With a creak, Zhang Fang opened the door and saw me standing at the door, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, she held a white porcelain cup, pinched a toothbrush, walked to me and squatted down to brush her mouth.
Looking at her from my point of view, I could actually see the corners of her underwear, so frightened that I hurriedly turned my face away, and was about to go to the village chief, but this little girl turned her head to look at me, her mouth was full of foam, and she said vaguely.
"Brother Shanzi, my radio is broken, you can help me take a look later, eat at my house at noon, my mother is stewing pig's trotters, if you run away, don't come to play with me in the future!"
