Chapter 12: Sacrifice to be a ghost
The mouth of the mountain daddy's daughter-in-law seemed to be covered by a powerful slap, and the mountain daddy's daughter-in-law let out a slurred hiss. The crowd was under the window and persuaded well.
At this moment, the lotus pond seemed to hear the screams of the mountain father's daughter-in-law, and there was a terrible cry as if it was pandering, sometimes high and sometimes low. When you don't listen carefully, there is a sound, and when you listen carefully, there is no sound, and when everyone talks to each other, it is the same feeling.
Someone under the window said, "Oh, that's true." He started crying again. ”
If you don't say this, you can say it, but when you say it, the mountain daddy and daughter-in-law in the house heard it. Suddenly, the door was slammed open, and the mountain father and daughter-in-law ran out of the house, like a frightened deer. The mountain father grabbed her feet tightly on the ground, but his daughter-in-law was extremely strong for a while, and dragged the mountain father on the ground towards the lotus pond. The mountain daddy's daughter-in-law was as thin as the person who had seen her described, and there was almost only a skeleton left.
Others were shocked and at a loss. The mountain daddy shouted on the ground, "Quick! Catch her, she's going to jump into the lotus pond! Help me stop her! She doesn't want to live! Everyone came to their senses and immediately pounced on the mountain father and daughter-in-law.
But the mountain father and daughter-in-law are not like the usual powerless chickens, and they can't pick up the hoe, and now she rushes to the lotus pond like crazy, wanting to jump down to make a stand-in for her crying son, so that her son will be born early. Several neighbors who pounced on her were actually knocked down by her infinitely powerful hands, and fell several meters away, as if they had been hit by an angry bull that was running straight forward. The mountain father finally couldn't catch it and was thrown away by his daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law's shoes were torn off. The two blue shoes were lifted by the inertia of her galloping feet, and flew like two bats fleeing in panic.
By the time the others got up again, the barefoot mountain daddy and daughter-in-law had disappeared into the night, and the speed at which she disappeared was so rapid that everyone present was dumbfounded. She jumped out like a rabbit and disappeared from everyone's sight at once. Her waist was bent so badly that those present thought that it was a huge rabbit that had never been seen before.
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly got up to catch up. There is a half-mile gravel road from Shan Dad's house to the lotus pond, if the children who are playful during the day pass by here barefoot, they must pick and choose the gap without stones, otherwise it is easy to scratch the footboard. But she ran so fast that when everyone came after her, she only saw an illusory back running like a rabbit.
When everyone came to the vicinity of the lotus pond, the mountain father and daughter-in-law were already standing on the embankment of the pond. She stood straight at the water's edge, her eyes looking at the lotus bushes to the north, and it was from there that the faint cry came from. The crowd stopped, not daring to come any closer, for fear of alarming her and forcing her to jump into the water.
Something seemed to see the person on the other side of the lotus bush, and the cry gradually became smaller, and finally became a small sob. No one knows what's hiding in there. But there were many people who were bold, and everyone slowed down and lightened their steps, and quietly approached the mountain daddy's daughter-in-law, wanting to drag her behind while she was pondering.
The water in the pond sparkled in the pale moonlight, like countless dead fish with shiny scales floating on the water. There is also a faint fishy smell in the breeze. She stood at the water's edge, like a soulless scarecrow, dutifully standing on the edge of the paddy field, scaring away the birds that stole their food. The moonlight hit her face, which was full of white cheekbones, and it made people feel that she exuded a dead man's cold, like a dead body that had escaped from a coffin.
Just when the person in front was already very close to the mountain daddy's daughter-in-law, and when she stretched out her hand and was about to hold her, she jumped into the lotus pond, and the waves wet the people who tried to hold her! Daddy finally couldn't help but let out a painful cry: "Ah! ”
The north bank of the lotus pond suddenly made a "whooshing" sound of water, as if a waterfowl was fluttering on the surface of the water, and the sound quickly ran out of the lotus leaves, approaching the mountain father and daughter-in-law who fell into the water. The shimmering sparkle that had just been neatly sparkled was cut by something that rushed out of the lotus leaf, like a pair of scissors cutting through a piece of cloth. Suddenly, long hairs like algae appeared under the water, and they were dead entwined with the mountain father and daughter-in-law, constantly rolling. The mountain daddy's daughter-in-law let out a constant coughing sound and was gulping down the water in the pond.
The mountain father begged for mercy with both hands, knelt down against the long hair, and wailed in pain: "Bingbing, you can't harm your mother!" She's your mother! ”
A few people on the shore took off their clothes and jumped into the lotus pond. Two people grabbed the feet of the mountain daddy's daughter-in-law, but they couldn't hold back the momentum of sinking. It should have been easy to pull a person in the water, but due to the buoyancy of the water, the weight of a person can be reduced to a negligible amount. But the two young and strong men couldn't hold it either. Soon, only the clothes of the mountain father and daughter-in-law were floating on the water, and the two men choked on a mouthful of water and couldn't stop coughing.
The others finally gathered around, but the two people in front of them were also taken under the water, leaving only their feet to flutter on the water. The water splashed up like shining pearls in the moonlight.
Others immediately dived into the water to save people. After tossing for a while, they only rescued the two people who jumped into the water first, and the mountain father and daughter-in-law were gone. Everyone knew that the mountain daddy's daughter-in-law was impossible to find like a soldier, but in order to comfort the mountain father who was beating the ground the shore, they inadvertently stirred around in the water......
