Grandpa glanced coldly at me who was retching by the wall, snorted coldly and said, "Okay, it's not too early, come with me to Huang's house." ”

"Huh?! Go back! ”

Grandpa told me that today is the day of Narcissus's funeral, and last night he had put the real Narcissus back in the coffin, as for the coffin lid and the mess in the yard, the general lie is unreasonable, so Grandpa said that Narcissus cheated the corpse last night, and the old man Huang and his wife were frightened when they heard the corpse, and they hurriedly ordered someone to seal the coffin with a new coffin lid, and prepare for the funeral as soon as the time came.

After a while, my grandfather and I came to the gate of the Huang family's courtyard, as soon as I walked to the door, a small figure caught my attention, only to see a black and white flower cat lying on the stone at the door lazily basking in the sun.

Grandpa told me that I should thank this cat well, if it weren't for it, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago, and where would I still be standing here.

Even if the water monkey is a water ghost, it is born of resentment from the people who drowned in the Yellow River, since it is indispensable in the water, the smell of fish, and cats like to eat fish the most, plus cats are originally spiritual creatures, of course, this is only a ghost-level water monkey.

But the cat's small size only serves as a deterrent to the water monkey that is several times larger than itself, and it cannot be eradicated, so the water monkey last night should have run away.

"Thank you."

I said thank you to the cat, but the cat yawned lazily as if I didn't exist, and went to sleep on the rock.

Seeing this, I smiled wryly, and then followed my grandfather into the courtyard of the Huang family.

Generally, the funeral is chosen in the early morning, but we are not here, the time of the funeral is to bury the deceased when the evening is approaching, which means that the deceased can rest and sleep in peace, and it also means the first sound of the Yellow River (the first sound of the spelling of the Yellow River and dusk).

There is a mass grave on the hillside to the south of the village, and all the people who are buried are people who have died, so the narcissus is naturally buried on this mountain.

I got out of the coffin, filled the soil, and the sun had already set halfway, and I looked at the grave with mixed tastes in my heart, and I had no energy at all, and lay down as soon as I got home.

But as soon as I was about to fall asleep, there was a rooster crow in my ears, and after a while, I saw my grandfather walking into the house with a big rooster, "Xiao Nan, follow me to the river." ”

This rooster is used to worship the Yellow River Niangniang before going down to the river to fish for corpses, and my grandfather and I never eat chickens, so when I saw my grandfather carrying a chicken in his hand, my first thought at that time was that my grandfather was going down to the river.

Going down to the river at night is also one of the many taboos, this is what my grandfather told me, so I think that since my grandfather chose to go down the river at night, he must have his reasons, so I didn't ask the reason, put on my shoes and followed his old man straight to the Yellow River.

As soon as he arrived at the Yellow River, his grandfather began the worship ceremony, in fact, the worship ceremony is very simple, that is, wipe the rooster's neck with a knife, drip the chicken blood in the Yellow River water, and after the blood is dissolved in the water, throw the rooster into the river and it will be over.

But this time the chicken blood dripping in the Yellow River not only did not dissolve in the water, but was pushed back to the river bank by the river...... Die...... The word, which only lasted for two or three seconds, slowly disappeared into the silt on the riverbank.

"Grandpa, that chicken blood?!" I exclaimed.

Grandpa's face was even more difficult to see, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, and the muscles on his face began to twitch, and then he turned around and left the river bank without looking back.

When I got home, my grandfather took out all the savings he had saved over the years, and it felt like he was going to leave me forever.

I asked my grandfather what was wrong, and what the dead word meant.

It wasn't until this that Grandpa stopped, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, "I thought you didn't mean to, and you should have passed the worship, but she didn't accept it at all, she didn't accept it at all, she ...... I want your life......"

Listening to my grandfather's words, I was stunned, and staggered back two steps, thinking that my jealousy was really not intentional, why can't she forgive me once, does it have to kill me?

"Grandpa, didn't you say that my life was not accepted by the Yellow River Niangniang, so why did she want my life?"

Grandpa shook his head and said he didn't know why.

"Grandpa, why don't we go out on the boat in the future."

I thought that as long as I stayed away from the Yellow River, I could avoid death, but as soon as this came out, my grandfather sighed and said to me, "Xiao Nan...... You think things are too simple, have you forgotten the water monkey in human skin, that is the Yellow River Niangniang sent to take your life. ”

I was silent, I wanted to laugh, thinking that I just unintentionally violated the taboo of the Yellow River, but this Yellow River lady chased her to the shore, and she really wanted my life.

I'm not afraid of death, the moment Narcissus leaves me, I have seen through life and death, why don't I want to go down to accompany Narcissus and make a pair of ghost mandarin ducks with her, but if I die, who will take care of my elderly grandfather.

Grandpa seemed to see through my thoughts, and then a hand gently patted me on the shoulder and said to me: "Good grandson, don't worry, grandpa, I will not let you have anything to do with this old life, you wait at home, I will invite a master to come, there must be a way to save you." ”

Grandpa left overnight, to invite the master who could save me, when he left, he stretched out three fingers to me, said three days, he will come back in three days, let me never go to the Yellow River again, wait at home for him to come back with the master.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the third day of the night, but I still didn't see my grandfather come back, I thought I should be back soon, so I sat in the courtyard and waited, my eyes kept staring at the courtyard gate.

Suddenly, I vaguely saw a figure coming in the direction of my house, the night was too deep to see clearly, I thought it should be my grandfather back, hurriedly stood up and shouted to the figure, was about to step towards the courtyard door, before the big black that had been lying at my feet, actually bit the corner of my clothes, and pulled me backwards.

I don't know where Da Hei got so much strength, he actually pulled me to the door of the house, I felt a little funny, and was about to speak, but I saw Da Hei loosen the corner of my clothes, and suddenly jumped in front of me, and then began to scream unhurriedly.

Bite people quickly, bite God slowly, bite ghosts unhurriedly.

At first, I didn't realize that Daikoku was thinking about what I was passing on, and I just looked in the direction of Daikoku's scream towards the gate of the courtyard.

When I looked over, I saw that the figure from before had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard, but when I looked closely, I found that it was not my grandfather standing at the gate of the courtyard, but the narcissus who had been dead for several days.

That's right, it's really Narcissus, and I won't forget her appearance even if it's a hundred years later, but she's obviously dead, so is it said that it's a water monkey pretending to be again.

Now that I think about it, I feel scared, thanks to the big black just now that I didn't let me go, and why didn't I hear its scream.

Facing the narcissus standing at the door, Da Hei stood in front of me and screamed, and the Da Hei stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not take a step forward, as if she was afraid of Da Hei, but I could not see a trace of expression on her pale face.

Seeing that the Great Black's faithful protector stood in front of me, I hurried back into the room, took the harpoon hanging on the wall, and rushed out of the house with one step.

At this moment, the harpoon in my hand is different from the Huang family, usually the front edge and the back handle, but the one in my hand is a blade in front and back, the front is a fork, and the back is a hook, which is handed down by my grandfather, and the hook behind is used to hook and fish for corpses in the river.

Rushing out of the house, I shouted at the narcissus at the gate of the courtyard: "Okay, you stagnant water monkey, you dare to pretend to be a narcissus to harm me, see if I give you a belly rotten." ”

Immediately I took a big stride from Da Hei's body, and rushed straight to the gate of the courtyard, seeing that it was about to be in front of me, but Narcissus had no intention of dodging, it was better not to dodge, it was exactly what I wanted, I clenched my harpoon with both hands and stabbed her straight to her......

Scold......

The harpoon in her hand pierced Narcissus's body, but she still stood in place, and there was no water flowing out of the harpoon, as if she had been pierced into the illusion.

Just when I was puzzled by this, the narcissus standing in front of me actually said to me, "Brother Xiaonan...... Help me...... Help me......"
