As soon as I heard about death, I immediately didn't want to, "Master, how could you die, or let's go back to the county seat, don't worry about these things." ”

Grandpa just smiled when he heard this, caressed my head with his hand and said, "How can anyone not die, grandpa is almost the same age to live, and he will earn money by living one more day, and the king of the Yellow River has dragged on several times to dream of taking me back." ”

People living on both sides of the Yellow River only believe in the Yellow River King, a god who is born, and everyone born on the side of the Yellow River is a grain of sand in the river in their previous life, and the sand that the dragon has pressed when the Yellow River King patrols the river every year will become a human in the next year.

When he was born, he was called a water baby, and the one who ate the Yellow River rice was called a water ghost, and after death, he had to burn yellow paper, sing river songs, and then return to the Yellow River, which can be said to be inextricably linked with the Yellow River.

Grandpa's words made me lose for a long time, turned my head to look at the middle-aged man's room, and asked grandpa: "Master, the person you are talking about is him, why did he come here?" ”

"I don't know, this kind of person is just like the heroes in martial arts novels, they generally don't make a move easily, and once they do, it will shock the world."

If it were a person that my grandfather usually commented on like this, I would definitely be very interested in him, but there are so many things around me, and I don't have any thoughts, so I don't care if he is a hero or a hero, as long as he doesn't come to harm his grandfather.

I asked my grandfather what was going on with his father, and he was sure he wouldn't be a human anyway, but ghosts couldn't see the light, and corpses couldn't speak, so what the hell was that?

Grandpa took a sip of his cigarette gun and said lightly: "In our business, there are two things that we are most afraid of in the water, one is to be like Yingzi, and the other is to die." ”

It's the first time I've heard the word death, and I asked my grandfather what it was, and my grandfather said that after so many years of scooping up corpses, there is one kind of corpse that is the most special, this kind of corpse will not surface, even if it is soaked in water for ten or eight years, when it is fished out, it will be the same as when he just died.

Not only that, these corpses will always stand upright under the water, maintaining a walking posture, the corpses slowly move forward with the waves, just like walking at the bottom of the river, many times in the dry riverbed, you can see clear footprints underwater, step by step to the deepest part, after reaching the end, they will turn in one direction and continue walking, as if walking underwater.

These dead people on the Yellow River are too resentful, and they refuse to leave, and they have to wait until they kill others before they are willing to fall.

I was told to break out in a cold sweat, trembling and saying why did I go ashore when I died, and he also said that everyone in the village would come back, what should I do at that time?

Grandpa sighed, his eyes looked straight out of the window, he didn't look good at all, I was worried that he would become the same demented appearance as before, and hurriedly interrupted and said, "Bah, bah, I'm talking nonsense, dead people can't go ashore at all!" ”

Grandpa laughed when he heard this, touched my head and said; "Second baby, do you want to see the water ghost?"

I got up from my chair, looked at my grandfather with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Really, really? ”

Legend has it that he used a secret potion to wash his eyes at a very young age, and after decades of water watching practice on the edge of the Yellow River, his eyes can penetrate the turbid river water, and he can see the walking corpses underwater at a glance.

And this kung fu is practiced to a certain level, and you can also invite the corpse at the bottom of the river to ask about things under the water.

It's just that this is an ancestral secret method, the behavior is weird and weird, outsiders have no way of knowing, even I have not seen it as a grandson, I remember a few years ago, there was a TV station that also came to interview grandpa, let him show the ability of water ghosts to ask for trouble, but was sent away by grandpa with feudal superstition, but now I hear him say so, will grandpa really be a water ghost?

But grandpa is a corpse digger who left home halfway, and he hasn't been washed when he was a child, how did he be.

Seeing the suspicion on my face, grandpa smiled and said that there would be a chance to see it, but the matter of the ghost lady is not over yet, I feel that she must have something to do with Yingzi, you hurry up and inform the village so that they don't relax tonight.

I reluctantly responded, and said in my heart what else to do for them, kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, don't turn around and make a mistake on our heads.

Before I went out, I saw a large group of people rushing into the door, all from the village, and I said in my heart that I didn't need to run from house to house, and I was about to say hello to them, but looking at their expressions, I swallowed back what I was going to say.

Everyone had angry faces on their faces, staring at our grandfather and grandson as if they had a great hatred of life and death, and they were all carrying guys in their hands, and in the blink of an eye, the kung fu yard was full, and I felt that something was wrong, so I quickly protected my grandfather and looked at them nervously.

It seemed that everyone had arrived, and Aunt Wang came out of the crowd, pointed at my grandfather and said, "Old ghost Bai, I advise you to hand over your nephew, otherwise you will harm the lives of the whole village, and you will not survive!" ”

This Aunt Wang is a shrew in the village, usually scolding the idle street is very powerful, but there has never been a festival with our family, today I ran to curse my grandfather to death, I was not happy at the time, and said: "Let your grandma fart, you want to die, run to my house to find death, believe it or not, I will take the shoe board and whip your rotten mouth." ”

Aunt Wang sneered when she heard this: "I have nothing to do, Boss Chen's family of five died this morning, last night it was the rooster I helped them find, the chicken was let go at night, it wasn't your thing that did it, who else could it be!" ”

Boss Chen's family of five is dead?

I was shocked when I heard it, I was playing cards with his eldest son a few days ago, why did he die all of a sudden, or did he die with Aunt Li?

Seeing that I didn't speak, Aunt Wang became even more arrogant, jumping to her feet and saying: "How about it, I have nothing to say, we have asked all over the village today, only the thing from the Kai family has entered the village in the past two days, and there is no one else, who else can it be except him?" ”

I saw that Aunt Wang had the posture of coming up and dying together, so I stabilized my mind and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the lives of the people in our village can still be saved by my grandfather, if you want to harm you, why do you still teach you the way to get rid of the rooster?" ”

While I was talking, my eyes secretly observed the other people in the courtyard, because what I just said was the truth, and even a discerning person could see it, but in everyone's eyes, I couldn't see the slightest suspicion or hesitation, as if they all thought that the middle-aged man had done it, which was also too strange.

"Don't talk about that useless, there is no good person surnamed Bai, don't think that the big guys don't know what Daddy and Grandpa did back then, now the retribution falls on our heads and pretends to be a good person, I told you, it's useless, not only do you have to hand over that person today, but even Grandpa Kai will go back with us to atone for your sins, otherwise the Bai family will not die well today!"

Aunt Wang said that in the end, her eyes were red, and she came up with a hoe to fight with me, I was so frightened that I quickly picked up the bench from the ground and lifted it above my head, seeing that the hoe was getting closer and closer to me, the expression on Wang Erniang's face suddenly froze, and her eyes rolled up and fell to the ground, without any movement.

And after Wang Erniang fell to the ground, a person appeared behind her, and when I saw the person's appearance clearly, I cried out in a lost voice: "Dad!? ”

At this time, Dad was holding a thick stick for stirring in his hand, standing there panting, seeing that Wang Erniang was not moving, he turned around and yelled at the people in the yard: "Who dares to touch a hair of my baby, Lao Tzu beat him into meat sauce today!" ”

Dad and Daddy are the same, when they were young, they were notoriously muddy, and two sentences of disagreement can knock out people's front teeth, since he was a child, no one can beat him, even the most fierce dog in the village saw him walking with his tail between his legs, and now he is putting on a desperate posture, and everyone's faces have changed.

"Wa Dad, I just came back and I don't know the situation, we are ......"

Someone came out and was about to speak, but before he finished speaking, his father rushed up with a stick, and the man was so frightened that his face turned white, and he ran out of the yard as if he had fled, and everyone else ran away when they saw this, and in the blink of an eye, only me, my father and grandfather, and Wang Erniang on the ground.

After seeing that the people were gone, the grandfather let out a long sigh, "It's old, it's really old." ”

I thought that my grandfather was frightened just now, so I was about to comfort him a few words, but my father came up and said with some blame: "Dad, what's the matter with Kaigang, the second baby was almost beaten and didn't move." ”

Grandpa waved his hand, didn't speak, and came straight to Wang Erniang's side, I noticed that Wang Erniang had been closing her eyes tightly, and there didn't even seem to be any sign of panting, this person wouldn't be dead, right?

Dad was also a little puzzled and squatted aside to probe her snort, but as soon as the hand reached under her nose, it was like an electric shock, and he looked at his grandfather with fear in his eyes and said, "I, I didn't do it ruthlessly, why did I die?" ”
