The situation underwater. Xiao'e was trying to find it, and suddenly, there was a commotion under the water, which startled Xiao'e, and she saw a woman in a flower dress emerge from the deep water, and the woman had a hideous face. She waved her hands to pull Xiao'e's legs, Xiao'e panicked, and drank a few sips of water this time, Xiao'e quickly turned around and wanted to swim back to the water, but the woman in the flower dress was like a loach, the speed was extremely fast, she jumped behind Xiao'e, grabbed Xiao'e's hair with her eyes, and pulled her all the way down the water. Xiao'e was frightened, and she began to struggle desperately, but the more she struggled, the tighter she pulled underneath. Just as she was already losing consciousness, someone grabbed her leg and pulled her up.

After listening to her story, everyone shuddered. Since then, Xiao'e has been nicknamed "Underwater Princess", they are still a group of children, they have no experience, and they don't remember to thank the farmer who saved Xiao'e's life. Now when she talks about it, Aunt Wu still feels guilty, but there is nothing to remedy it, she can only wish him health and happiness.

After listening to Aunt Wu's story, I took a long breath. But Aunt Wu's words scared me out of a cold sweat.

"Later, the people in the village told us. The people of their village never dared to go to that pond to play. Because the pond is strange, in the words of the villagers, it's not clean! There's drowned ghosts looking for a stand-in there.'" Just a few days before their accident, someone was passing by the pond at night and heard someone crying bitterly in the water, crying and chanting, 'I'm so miserable, who will take my place!' Who's going to take my place! ’”

39. Confusion of time and space

There is nothing supernatural about this, but it is a strange thing that puzzles me. Let's take a look here, too.

I was about four years old and still in kindergarten. In those years, China still implemented a single day off every week, but kindergarten ended early on Saturdays. After I left kindergarten, I went straight to the factory where my mother worked. My mother was going out to run errands, and she was going to the provincial museum at that time. Many friends in Zhengzhou can remember that opposite Zijing Mountain Park, there is a tall statue of the chairman in front of the door. But now this museum has been demolished. When my mother saw me coming, she decided to take me with her.

When we arrived, we entered an unused exhibition hall, which was empty, with only a row of stone sculptures in the innermost section. A staff member took her mother to sit behind the plaster sculpture and got busy, as if she was reconciling accounts or something (I asked my mother last night, and she also had an impression of it, but she couldn't remember exactly what she was doing, but it didn't matter, it wasn't the point.) I sat next to it for a while, and when I got bored, I started running around the exhibition hall. Because it was winter, it was very cold in the exhibition hall. My mother also chased after me and put a hat in the shape of a white rabbit on my head. I played with myself for a while and suddenly felt that something was wrong, it was an indescribable feeling. I was only a four-year-old child, but I could also feel abnormal, specifically as if I had completely lost my hearing, and the surrounding scene began to drift a little, I subconsciously raised my head and saw a person walking in the door. I can still remember very well what he was dressed at. He wore glasses and a sky-blue cotton coat. I looked at him, and he looked at me. The process is very fast, maybe only one to two seconds before and after. The man disappeared, and then everything was normal again. I was a kid, and although it was a little weird, I didn't think much of it. But I was very impressed by it. I remember it vividly to this day. However, this is not the end of the matter.

More than ten years later, I was already in my second year of junior high school, and once the school organized a visit for all students, but I forgot what I visited. We entered this museum in order of class. After the team looked at a few exhibition halls, we actually walked to the one where my mother and I had visited. I was so impressed by the exhibition hall that I remembered it as soon as I approached the door. At that time, I also told my classmates next to me that I had come to this exhibition hall when I was very young.

As I stepped into the exhibition hall, something strange happened. I had the same feeling as I had when I was a kid again, I couldn't hear the sound, and the scenery around me changed. The exhibition hall, which was full of exhibits and full of students, disappeared in an instant. The whole exhibition hall has become the same as it was more than ten years ago, empty, with only a row of stone sculptures in the innermost. And a child in a white rabbit hat was staring at me strangely, and I looked at him in surprise.

Or just a second or two, and everything was normal again. I was back in reality, and the exhibition hall was full of people. The classmates in the back pushed me and asked me what I was doing in a daze. I didn't say anything and kept going. But at this point, I was in no mood to visit the exhibits. Thinking back to that experience when I was a child, it occurred to me that I was wearing a sky blue cotton coat today, and that I had been wearing glasses since my second year of junior high school. In other words, my current outfit exactly matches the person I saw when I was a child, or I saw myself when I was a child.

For many years afterward, I repeatedly recalled these two bizarre experiences and asked others, but none of them were anything special. So what exactly did I encounter, was it an accidental time disorder, and I coincidentally met at the same place at these two time endpoints, so I met more than ten years apart? Or did I stumble into a time tunnel and play a game of time-travel?

☆, Chapter 27 A comb saved Xin's life

40, a comb saved Xin's life

Xiaoyu and I have been separated for a few months, Xiaoyu's attitude is getting colder and colder, she used to get angry if I didn't call her for a day, but now, she doesn't even answer my calls. Sometimes they call me back and give me a light explanation, and sometimes they don't even pay attention to it at all. I don't think it's good. In fact, I had this premonition in my heart. Xiaoyu and I are in different social classes. She was born in a wealthy family and had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, but I live in a civilian family, and I have to keep fighting for survival. I know very well that this is a love affair that is not in the right place. I understand better that the plot of those poor silks counterattacking rich girls only appears in TV series, so I have always been worried about this relationship.

Don't say anything about "all personalities are equal." "As long as there is struggle, everything will happen" and other empty rhetoric. If you hadn't had this experience, you wouldn't have understood it. Society is very realistic. You can shout "don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice", but money, wealth can really make a good man bow his head. Maybe it's a flaw in my xing. I'm the kind of person who has extreme self-esteem, but this kind of person also tends to have extreme low self-esteem. In the process of getting along with Xiaoyu, her illustrious family background always put a lot of pressure on me. I can't get along with her as an equal. I'm not surprised by Xiaoyu's current attitude.

Looking at the phone that was hung up by Xiaoyu again, I smiled bitterly, and just drove the car on the road, Xiaoyu sent a text message. She only had a few short words: "Let's break up." My parents didn't approve of us being together. I can't disobey their will. "Although I was mentally prepared, my heart still hurt like a pinprick. I didn't expect it to come so quickly. People always realize the preciousness of what they have when they lose. Scenes from our acquaintance to love keep coming back to my mind. Humans are sentient animals. Although my reason repeatedly told me that Xiaoyu's decision was right, I still couldn't bear such a blow. I just felt a thrust in my chest.

In a trance, I seemed to feel that there was someone in front of me, and I suddenly woke up, I was driving. I hurriedly braked. When I was in a state of desperation, I almost knocked down a pedestrian, and the other party walked away scoldingly.

I insisted on driving the car home. I sat in my bedroom, where there was still a light rain. Seeing things and thinking about people, I feel even more uncomfortable, but I can't find a place to vent.

It took a long time for me to calm down. Just then, the phone rang again. When I picked up the phone, it took me a long time to react that it was Xin calling. Xin went to the Beijing headquarters for a meeting three days ago, and came back today, just got off the bus at this time, I said I was going to pick her up, but I forgot everything about Xiaoyu.

After only a few words, Xin realized that I was not in a normal mood. After learning what happened, Xin said that she wanted to come and talk to me. Given my mental state at the time, Xin flatly refused my request to pick her up. She said she would take a taxi. I was in a bit of a trance, so I didn't hold on. Who knows, this time almost killed Xin.

I waited for an hour and a half before Xin arrived, and by this time my mood was much better. I started to rush and it was a maximum of an hour's drive from the station to here. I was about to call Xin. Her call came first. Xin hurriedly asked me to go downstairs to pick her up on the phone, and her voice was very flustered. Because I didn't know what had happened to her, I was in a hurry, and ran to the door of the community in three steps and two steps. Seeing Xin sitting in the security room with a pale face. When she saw me coming, she completely lost her usual reserve, and pounced on me at once. This move came as a big surprise to me. I knew something big must have happened, because Xin was so abnormal today. She usually looks elegant and generous, and there will never be such an outrageous act as today.

I eagerly asked her what was wrong, but Xin just shook her head and didn't say anything. I usually give these security guards a cigarette or chat a few days when entering and exiting the gate, so they are all familiar with me. A young man said, "An electric car just brought her here." She ran in as soon as she got out of the car. I'll call you without saying anything. Take her away, see how scared she is. I hesitated, thanked the security guard and took Xin home.

Xin sat on the sofa for a long time before she told me what had just happened.

It turned out that Xin took a taxi to my accommodation. But halfway through, he was forced to get out of the car. Because there was an accident between two cars on the road, the owners refused to give in to each other, blocking the entire road and making it impossible for taxis to pass. Xin looks, it's still far from where I live. She was helpless, and an electric car stopped next to her and asked her where to go? This is called a private "motorcycle". Usually we don't take this kind of car, but Xin saw that it was getting late and was in a hurry to come, so she negotiated the price with him and got into the back seat of the car. But after walking for a while, Xin noticed that something was wrong, the car was obviously going on the wrong road, and it was getting darker and darker, and more and more remote. There are few pedestrians on the road anymore. Xin asked the person who was carrying her loudly, but the person did not look back, neither answered nor stopped, but just ran forward vigorously. Xin knew that it was bad, this person must have bad intentions. But Xin is a woman who has seen the world after all, not only did she not panic, but calmed down. At this time, it is useless to call for help, and it is too late to call the police. She decided to find a way to save herself, and she fumbled in her bag and found a comb that she usually carried with her, which was very delicate and had a pointed tail. Xin decided to take the risk. Xin sat in the back seat of the electric car, sitting behind the man. So Xin quietly pressed the end of the comb against the man's waist. Then I talked to him. Something to the effect of. I'm also out to mix, don't force me, or we'll have a fish to die and the net will be broken, and I'll give you a white knife to get in and a red knife to come out. Then he stabbed the comb hard, and it really pierced the other party's skin rou a little. The man hesitated, estimating that his shock was greater than his fear, he didn't expect a woman to resist like this. Under Xin's persecution, he honestly sent Xin to the door of the community. While walking, he also explained to Xin vigorously, saying that he is not usually such a person, but today he saw Xin, a single woman, and he was confused for a while. In fact, Xin was even more scared, it was not a knife in her hand at all, it was just a non-lethal comb, but the person couldn't see it. It wasn't until she arrived at the door of the community and saw the security guard of the community that Xin quickly jumped out of the car and went into the security room to call me.

After listening to Xin's narration, I admired her alertness and calmness on the one hand, and felt creepy and regretful on the other. If something happens to Xin, I really can't ever forgive myself.

We talked for a long time that night, one was frustrated in love, the other was immortal, and we had a feeling of the rest of our lives.

41. Who moved my dumplings

Let's pick up another story about Aunt Wu.

Aunt Wu's family is from rural Xinyang, and she has been living in the countryside since she was a child, and she has seen a lot of strange things. I'll tell you another one today.

That year, Aunt Wu had just gotten married. As a traditional laborer girl, she toils daily with household chores. One spring morning, Aunt Wu was busy working in the house and felt that she heard a commotion outside. Aunt Wu is a bad person, so she didn't pay attention to it and continued to do housework. About ten minutes later, a neighbor's aunt barged in and shouted at her, "Go and see, your cellar has collapsed and someone has fallen in." Aunt Wu was startled and hurriedly ran out with her aunt.

The weather in the north was very cold, and supplies were relatively scarce in those days, unlike now, when we go to the supermarket at any time to eat. In those years, people had to stock up on all kinds of vegetables and grains in advance in winter, so many families in the countryside would dig a cellar, in fact, there are also cellars in the countryside now. Generally, a round or square hole or pit is dug in the ground, and the depth varies according to the depth of the water layer. Potatoes, cabbage, fruits, cattle and sheep harvested in the autumn are stored in the cellar, and the food for the winter is well prepared, and the winter days are much better. Aunt Wu's house is no exception.

Today, it happened that a primary school organized a spring outing for students to come to Aunt Wu's small village. A female teacher ran to the cellar of Aunt Wu's house without knowing what was going on. The cellar suddenly collapsed, and the governess fell into the cellar and soon passed out inside. The teacher who led the team was frightened when he saw that something had happened, and he carefully climbed into the cellar, but before he could rescue the female teacher, he himself passed out inside.

We all have this knowledge. The cellar is stocked with a lot of grain and vegetables, and plants photosynthesize in the presence of light, consume carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, but in the absence of light, respiration occurs, consumes oxygen, produces carbon dioxide. Since the cellar is a relatively closed environment, the oxygen consumed cannot be replenished, and the proportion of carbon dioxide will increase. Therefore, experienced people will hang a lamp before entering the cellar, and if the lamp is not extinguished, they can go in. But the teacher who led the team did not have this knowledge and experience, and he was in a hurry to save people, so he and the female teacher were in a coma in the cellar due to lack of oxygen.

The cries of the children alarmed the residents of the village. But now it is busy farming, and the people in the small village have gone to work in the fields, and the rest are the elderly, women, and children, and they are helpless for a while. Later, someone called back Aunt Wu's husband. His husband is a very thoughtful person. When he heard that something had happened, he threw away the farm tools and ran back, telling the others to get the village blower to the accident site as soon as possible.

Most of them were kind, and when they heard that they were going to save people, many villagers threw away their work and worked together to get the blower to the mouth of the cellar, and then began to use the blower to blow air into the cellar. It's really oxygenating the cellar. After a long while, Aunt Wu's husband jumped into the cellar when he saw that it was almost over, and other villagers also helped to get the two people who had passed out, and then quickly sent the person to the hospital.

But it's still too late, that one leads the team
