My name is Xiang Nan, and I live with my grandfather in a small village called Shuiao Village by the Yellow River, I have never met my parents, and my grandfather said that they died in a car accident when I was very young.

Grandpa is a corpse fisher, also known as the Yellow River water ghost, and he makes a living by salvaging those bodies drowned in the Yellow River on weekdays.

Grandpa said that my life is yin, born with water life, weak water floating boat, that is, my life is very hard, I will not easily overturn on the water, even if it capsizes, it doesn't matter, because the Yellow River Niangniang doesn't accept people like me at all, so grandpa will take me with me every time he goes out on the boat, but he has never let me salvage it myself.

My grandfather is not the only one who digs up corpses by the Yellow River, but there are many, most of them are monks who have become monks halfway, and no matter what so-called taboos you have in this business, as long as you have more money.

I remember that once a corpse collector committed a taboo, got out of the boat on a rainy day, and capsized the boat not long after it was stretched out, and the body has not been found until now.

And my grandfather is a decent person, the ancestors of the three generations are all corpse fishers, so he is very clear about the taboos, and there has never been any accident in the corpse that has been fished for a lifetime, so the name of the grandfather in the ten miles and eight towns is also very loud.

Today is my eighteenth birthday, and my grandfather went to the town early in the morning to buy me a birthday present, leaving me alone in the yard in a daze with Dahei.

Big black is a dog, the whole body of black hair, only four soles on a small pinch of white hair, grandpa said it is called black clouds stepping snow, 10,000 dogs can not come out of this one, can predict the danger perception of what is about to happen, according to legend, Erlang God's roaring dog is this kind of dog.

When I had nothing to do, I fetched a bucket of water for Da Hei to shower, and when I was halfway through, business came to my door.

The person who came in was the old yellow head of the village, a few years younger than his grandfather, and it is said that he grew up with his grandfather from a bare bottom, and the relationship was very good, and he would come to the house from time to time to drink and talk with his grandfather all night.

But today, Lao Huangtou didn't come to his grandfather to drink, but something happened to his family, and his daughter Narcissus, who was only in her forties, died in the Yellow River.

"What?! Narcissus she ...... He's dead?! ”

The old yellow head wiped his tears and nodded fiercely.

When I heard the news that Narcissus was dead, I was stunned and didn't come to my senses for a long time.

I grew up with Narcissus as childhood sweethearts, and the two families also set a baby kiss early, Narcissus even said that I would not marry, I thought that after this eighteenth birthday, a good day to stay together is coming, but I didn't expect Narcissus she to die, it was the water that fell into the ground.

The corners of my eyes moistened, and tears poured down like the water of the Yellow River that had burst the embankment, and then my feet fell to the ground as soon as I went limp.

The old yellow head didn't come to tell me the bad news, more importantly, the body of the narcissus is still soaking in the Yellow River.

But grandpa went to the town at this time, and if he wanted to come back, he would have to come back in the evening, and he couldn't let the daffodils stay in the river all the time, so I decided that I would go and catch them.

In fact, even if grandpa didn't go to the town, I'm afraid he wouldn't have made a move, because this violated the taboo of grandpa's ancestral training.

There are three no-fishings in the ancestral training of the Xiang family, no fishing in thunderstorms, no fishing in the water, and no fishing for yellow flower girls.

He is an old man who admits death, and he will not think of any feelings at all, I also believe that my grandfather will not fish, so I took the initiative to ask for it, if I change to someone else, I will not fish, but Narcissus She is not someone else, for her I would rather be taboo, I can't leave her in the river to feed the fish.

The water flow at the location where the narcissus throws himself into the river is relatively turbulent, it is a whirlpool of backflow, and people must never go back when they go there, and no matter how good the water is, it is also in vain, so the corpse can not be fished out of the water here, but can only be hooked with a hook.

Soon I was holding the boat to the edge of the whirlpool and casually throwing the anchor into the river.

The process of retrieving the body was quite smooth, and I saw the body of Narcissus floating on the edge of the whirlpool at a glance, so it didn't take much trouble to get the body on the boat, and when I saw Narcissus's corpse, my tears gushed out again, and I knelt in front of her corpse and cried bitterly.

After a long time, I reached out and wiped the tears from my face, looked up at Narcissus's corpse, and suddenly I felt that something was not quite right.

There is already a lot of sand in the Yellow River, coupled with the rapid flow of this whirlpool, the corpses cannot be found after a long time, and the corpses that are fished up at random are all incomplete limbs and blurred flesh and blood.

But there were no scars on Narcissus's body, and her clothes were quite intact, and in terms of time, this corpse had been soaked in the water for several hours, to say the least, but there was no edema at all, and it made me feel like I was asleep.

I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, maybe it was the kindness of the Yellow River Niangniang.

I slowly stood up, put a piece of white cloth on Narcissus's head, and said "Narcissus...... Sit tight, let's go home ......"

I thought that the old yellow head should be waiting, but when I went ashore, I didn't see his figure, and seeing that the old yellow head did not appear for a long time, I decided to personally send the body of the water fairy home, and was about to do it, when the old yellow head came.

Seeing that the old yellow head was coming, I also hurriedly greeted him, and before I could speak, the old yellow head choked up and said, "Xiao Nan...... Thank you for sending my daughter home so soon, you're a good boy, alas...... Uncle, I don't have this blessing anymore......"

At that time, I was stunned, and my heart said that it was impossible, Narcissus's body had just docked, and now it was still on the boat, but why did the old yellow head say that it was sent home, whether I heard it wrong, or the old yellow head said something confused too sadly.

I frowned and asked a little puzzled, "Uncle Huang, what did you say?" I sent someone home for you? ”

The old yellow head didn't seem to hear my words, and he sighed and continued to me: "Xiao Nan, you sent my daughter Narcissus home and left, I know that you are afraid that you will be sad and unable to control your emotions after seeing her, but you have been a baby since you were a child, and if you are not by her side, she will not be blind." With that, the old yellow man took me by the hand and walked in the direction of his house.

Before leaving, I looked back at the corpse still lying on the boat behind me, a gust of river wind blew, and the white cloth covering the corpse's head was lifted, and I saw the familiar face, and vaguely I seemed to see a tear slipping from the corner of her eye, and the tear was so dazzling and bright red, as if it were a bloody tear.

But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again, and the white cloth was still well covered on her head, perhaps, my heart was bleeding at this moment......

I followed the old yellow head into the yard with some doubts, and as soon as I entered the yard, my feet were like lead and could not move anymore, because there was suddenly a woman lying on the wooden bed in the middle of the yard, and this woman was none other than the old yellow head's daughter, Narcissus!

Old Yellow Head, he didn't lie to me, it's really a narcissus......

So, who the hell is lying on that boat?!

I stood there, staring at the narcissus lying in front of me, and I bit my tongue hard to make sure it was real.

Looking at Narcissus's face, my eyes began to blur, as if I had seen Narcissus come to life, and she was waving and smiling at me, but the smile looked so unnatural.

I don't know why I fainted, and when I woke up again, I was already lying in my bed, and my grandfather was standing on the edge of my bed, frowning and smoking.

"Grandpa...... Narcissus she ...... "I sat up from the bed at once, and tears flowed down my eyes again.

Grandpa took a hard puff of his cigarette and nodded silently, indicating that he already knew.

Judging from Grandpa's facial expression at this moment, it was not only because of Narcissus's death, but also because I had committed a taboo, but he didn't blame me, which made me feel a feeling in my heart.

When I was just thinking about opening my mouth to admit my mistake, the old yellow head actually came, and as soon as I entered the door, he asked me how my health was, how was it better, and then he glanced at my grandfather, and the two of them walked out of the house.

It gave me the impression that the old yellow head thought that I had fainted because of the death of Narcissus, but I thought that it was not like that, but as for why I passed out, I don't know.

After a while, my grandfather came back alone, and as soon as he entered the house, he said to me that I should go to the vigil for Narcissus at night, saying that there were no elders in the village to keep a vigil for the younger generations since ancient times, and the Huang family had no relatives in the village, and Narcissus was my daughter-in-law who had not passed the door, so it was most suitable for me to go to the vigil.
