I decided to tell the residents about the people under the water and ask them if they knew about it.

But the next day, when I went from house to house asking for help, none of them believed me.

"You say there's a guy locked under the pond we've lived next to for decades? How can it be! We've never heard of it. You say he's still alive? Are you brainy...... Belch...... Young man, it is impossible for a person to live underwater for so long. That's how most people reacted.

"Is there anyone under this pond? Hahahaha...... Want us to help save people? Hahahaha...... "Some people leaned forward and leaned back with laughter when they heard me, and the conversation couldn't go on.

It was a bunch of kids who were interested in what I had to say.

A child followed me when I asked for help.

"Uncle, I've seen people under the water, and I believe you. I saw him one summer while diving. But my mom and dad didn't believe me, saying that I had run into a water ghost and told me not to go near the pond again. ”

I was about to crouch down to ask him when his parents rushed over and dragged him away.

In desperation, I had to make a phone call home and ask my mother to help me ask my grandfather what would happen if a person was bound under the water with three chains, and if there was a way to save that person from coming up.

In order not to worry my mother, I didn't say that I was not in Beijing, but only said that a friend had encountered this kind of thing and asked me to help inquire.

In fact, every time I lied, my mother could hear it, no matter how decently I made up the reasons. I sometimes pretend to be careless, but she can still spot it. Sometimes I deliberately pretend to care, but she can still find out if the most important reason is due to something else.

Perhaps, everyone's mother has such a delicate insight into her children. It's just that some mothers say it, and some mothers pretend not to find out.

My mother listened to me and asked, "Is it really for a friend to ask?" ”

"You can help me ask, I'll go to Thrush Village today, I'm really in a hurry." I know, she already knows I'm lying. But she still went to Thrush Village that day and asked her grandfather.

I went back to a small hotel in a nearby town to rest, and waited for my mother to say hello before making plans.

When it was almost time to eat at noon, my mother called.

Mom said that this is a way to lock the soul, and the people under the water are no longer people, but water zombies. Water zombies are a type of zombie that does not breathe, so they will not suffocate even if they stay in the water for a long time. Zombie souls are all mutilated, and water zombies are no exception. As for the way of locking the soul, it is imprisoned in the way of "heaven, earth and man". One is the Sky Chain, directly in front of the Water Zombies; One is the ground chain, to the right of the water zombie; One is the human chain, to the left of the water zombie.

I've heard my grandfather say before that soul locking is a type of spell, a harmful spell that imprisons the caster's soul in the body and makes it impossible to control the actions of one's body. A slight soul locking will make the victim weak and sick from an early age, and life will not be smooth. It is said that my brother was very weak when he was born, sick every day, and when he was full moon, he was not chubby like other babies, but he was so thin that he could see his bones. Grandpa said that his brother's soul was still there, and before he died, he said that if he met his younger brother over there, he would bring him over first and then return to Huangquan. A few days after my grandfather's death, my brother gradually got better. Of course, this kind of soul locking was brought by oneself by accident. However, the behavior of the caster's soul after being locked is much the same.
