For the next three days, she didn't show up for work. According to the administrator, she had something to attend to at home and took a few days off.

On Friday, she came to work as usual.

I went to the office early that day, and the door of the company had not yet opened, so three or four colleagues stood in front of the door and waited for the administrative staff to open the door. While the others were chatting about their daily lives, she was alone leaning against the company's glass wall, silent.

I walked up and asked, "Are you okay?" Why didn't you come the other day? ”

The corners of her mouth tugged at a little smile and said, "Why do you suddenly care about me?" You didn't say yes to my group when I wanted to go to your group

I was slightly embarrassed and replied, "Business is official, private is private." I didn't mean to run on you, and the boss must have put all the blame on me. He likes to sing red face by himself and let the team leaders sing black face, and he is known as "the art of leadership".

"I'm sure you're not that kind of person, she actually said.

I thought to myself, I don't have much contact with you, how do you know I'm not that kind of person?

When it was time to eat at noon, she came to me again with a lunch box and asked me if I wanted to order some food. This time, her lunch box contained braised fish and rice tofu.

I heard that water spirits don't eat fish. They see fish as their own kind. Fish can not only be their companion in the water, but they can also be used as a cover. Some cats will stick out their claws to try to catch fish when they see them at the water's edge; Some children will be like cats when they see fish in the water nearby. In this case, the water ghosts have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Perhaps the water spirits do not eat fish because they see them as their own kind, but because the fish is beneficial to them.

I haven't had a deep relationship with water spirits, so I don't know what kind of reason they want not to eat fish.

But not all water spirits don't hurt fish. Grandpa said that once a person drowned in a village's laundry pond, and in order to prevent the water ghost from dragging someone as a stand-in, the villagers dug a new laundry pond on the other side of the village. Since then, dead fish with their bellies facing up in the old laundry pond have often appeared, one by one, like a swarm of tadpoles floating to the surface of the water in spring, and the stench of dead fish can be smelled from afar. Some people say that the water ghost could not fool people, so he killed all the fish in the water.

The dead fish is still intact, which shows that the water ghosts do not have the habit of eating fish.

"You still eat fish?" I asked, pointing to the braised fish in her lunch box.

She raised her willow eyebrows and said as a matter of course: "Yes." Eating more fish replenishes the brain and is good for intelligence. People like us who are very mentally draining should eat more fish! With that, she took the initiative to grab a piece of fish and put it in my fast food box. The tender fish meat is mouth-watering.

"Thank you, I said.

She smiled happily: "When I was a child, I used to go into the water to catch fish. At that time, the fish was much better than the fish is now. Nowadays, fish are fed with feed

"You were quite naughty when you were a child, and you had a soft mouth, so I followed her words a few more words.

"yes. When I was a child, girls were not allowed to swim in the water, but I was the best swimmer among girls! She smug.

Generally, the people who are dragged away by the water ghosts are very good swimmers. As the saying goes, if you kill a strong mouth, you will drown in water.
