Among the fisherman's relatives and friends, one of them was well-informed, and asked the fisherman, have you two quarreled recently? The fisherman said that there was a quarrel just yesterday, and the man said that women love to cry when they are wronged, this is your wife's tears flowing into the fish soup, and the fish has become bitter, and if there are guests at home in the future, don't let your wife cook again.

When the fisherman heard this, he hurriedly cooked another pot of fish himself, and when everyone tasted it, the taste was extremely delicious. The fisherman's wife took a sip of the fish soup, and immediately a smile appeared on her face, and everyone was happy.

From there, when there were any more guests at the fisherman's house, the fisherman would cook for himself, and after a quarrel with his wife, he would quickly stew a pot of fish soup for his wife to drink.

Later, the fisherman told his neighbors about the fish soup, and the men followed suit, and in this way, the custom of cooking for men in our neighborhood was handed down.

Of course, this story may not be true, but the men here do cook, and usually when guests come to the house.

Straight to the point. At this time, it was only the second watch, around ten o'clock in the evening.

After Wang Dahe took my grandfather to Wang Lao's house, he went out to chase the river monster, and there were only two people left in the family, the village chief Wang Laoda and my grandfather.

The two of them were drinking, and Boss Wang told my grandfather about the "river monster" in the village from beginning to end.

As I said earlier, every Qingming Festival, July 15, and October 1, my great-grandfather would take my grandfather home to the grave, and he would also take my grandfather to visit and visit the homes of these relatives and friends.

During my grandfather's drinking and chatting with them, many people learned that my grandfather inherited the mantle of my great-grandfather, and from the age of ten, he began to learn these skills from my great-grandfather to catch ghosts and drive away evil spirits. In the eyes of outsiders, my grandfather is smart and clever, and his understanding is extremely high, and after so many years, these skills of catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits should also be learned.

Because my great-grandfather is not in Sanwangzhuang now, the village chief at this time, Boss Wang, pinned all his hopes on my grandfather.

Boss Wang told my grandfather about the river demon from one night half a month ago.

That night, the day was very hot, there was a villager in Sanwangzhuang who lived on the river by ferrying, named Wang San'er, because the weather was hot, this Wang San'er coveted the wind and coolness on the river, and returned to the boat after dinner, parked the boat in a place where the water flow was slower in the river, lifted the coarse cloth curtains at both ends of the canopy, and slept in the canopy against the river breeze.

slept until midnight, and suddenly a woman's cry came from outside the canopy, which sounded quite terrible, and the woman cried and begged Wang San'er for help.

Wang San'er woke up immediately, but at the moment he woke up, the woman's crying suddenly stopped, Wang San'er stared at him in a daze, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, it was quiet outside the canopy, there was no sound at all, Wang San'er felt that he might have had a dream, so he didn't care, turned over, and continued to sleep.

However, when he had just fallen asleep, he heard the woman's cry again, and still cried and begged him for help, and the woman said this time that it was very cold in the water.

Wang San'er shook the spirit and woke up again, but the woman's voice disappeared again.

Wang San'er blinked his eyes, wondered in his heart, held his breath and pricked up his ears, and listened carefully, but it was still quiet outside the canopy, except for the slight sound of gurgling water, there was nothing else.

After listening to it for a while, Wang San'er scolded in his heart, closed his eyes and went back to sleep, but this time he couldn't sleep anymore, and the more he lay in the canopy, the more energetic he became.

Thinking about the voice of the woman in the dream just now, Wang San'er felt that it was very real, not like a dream of his own, so he thought in his heart, is there really a woman on the surface of the river who has fallen into the water?

It is said that this Wang San'er is more than 20 people, and he is still playing singles, for women falling into the water, he is more sensitive than anyone else, in case it is a big girl who falls into the water, he did a good thing at this time to save the big girl, people look at it, this person is good, to make a promise, then he doesn't have to beat the singles anymore.

Wang San'er thought in his heart that it was very beautiful, and the ghost got up from the canopy, lit the lantern on the ship, and carried the lantern out of the canopy.

It was quite dark outside the canopy, Wang San'er took a lantern and shone it on the river, and a distorted and blurred reflection of the lantern was immediately reflected in the river, like a ghost eye, looking weird.

Wang San'er took advantage of the lantern light to look back and forth at the waters near the boat, there was nothing on the river, the river was dark and quiet.

Wang San'er suddenly scolded herself for being an idiot in her heart, thinking about her daughter-in-law and going crazy, in the middle of the night, where did the big girl fall into the water. Disappointed, he was ready to get back into the canopy. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a cold glimpse of something white on the port side of the boat.

Wang San'er hurriedly turned the lantern over and shone it at the thing, ah! Wang San'er exclaimed and staggered back a few steps.

On the port side of the boat, there is a white Sensen's human hand!

Wang San'er was so frightened that she almost didn't pee her pants, and her hairs stood on end. However, he was still sensible, and was not frightened, and staggered to the stern of the boat with the lantern, grabbed the oars at the stern and shook it desperately.

Wang San'er heard the old people in the village tell the story of "water ghosts picking up boats", water ghosts, that is, drowned ghosts, said that those water ghosts like to haunt the water in the middle of the night, but whenever they see a boat on the river, they will quietly float over and pick up their hands on the boat, at this time, if the people on the boat do not pay attention, pass by their ghost hands, they will be coldly grabbed by their feet and necks and dragged into the water.

The old people also said that drowned ghosts cannot be reincarnated, and they must pull a living person into the water and find a substitute for the dead ghost.

At this time, Wang San'er didn't want to be a big girl or a little daughter-in-law anymore, his little life was important, he shook the oar desperately, thinking about quickly docking the boat, and when he got ashore, the water ghost would take him out of line.

However, a strange thing happened, at this time, no matter how Wang San'er shook, the oars hit the water surface crackling, and the boat was spinning back and forth in place, not leaning towards the shore at all, as if the bottom of the boat was sucked by a large whirlpool.

Wang San'er was even more frightened, both legs trembled, and he didn't dare to rock the boat anymore, so he lowered the curtains at both ends of the canopy, and hid in the canopy with a lantern, and the lantern was placed at his feet, curled up in the corner of the canopy, and trembled all over.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a "sudden" gust of evil wind blowing on the river, like the northeast wind blowing in winter, like crying and weeping, whirring, the curtains at both ends of the canopy crackled and trembled, and the whole hull also shook, as if the water ghost was angry and wanted to lift the canopy into the river.

Wang San'er was frightened, screamed "ah", and lay on the board of the boat with his head in his arms, at the same time, the heat in the crotch of his pants surged, and he peed his pants on the ground.

But it's very strange that when Wang San'er peed his pants, the evil wind outside the canopy immediately stopped, and the river returned to calm in an instant, as if the evil wind had never blown just now.

At this time, Wang San'er let go of the hand holding his head, trembling and touching the crotch of his pants, it was wet, and there was a smell of urine, and he remembered what the old people in the village said, dirty things are afraid of children's urine, just smelling this smell of urine can hide far away, and the evil wind just now may be choking away from the smell of urine.

Thinking of this, Wang San'er immediately felt a lot more at ease, and was very glad that he didn't marry a daughter-in-law, and he still kept a child.

After a long while, listening to no movement outside, Wang San'er was a little bolder, used his hands and feet together, climbed to the tarpaulin curtain, opened a crack in the curtain, and glanced out tremblingly.

Outside the canopy, it was dark, and nothing could be seen, Wang San'er felt that the water ghost must have left, and scared away with a soak of urine, so he got up from the board, put on the lantern, and dared to open the curtain and shine outside.

This photo doesn't matter, it startled him again, the white Sensen man who was on the port side of the gang is still there!

At this moment, a string of women's cries were heard on the river, woo woo woo.

"Help——! Please——! Help me——! ”

"Wow! I'm a girl——! Almost didn't scare Wang San'er's bitter gall, his hands trembled, and he threw the lantern away, and after the lantern fell on the board, it was extinguished with a "poof", as if it had been blown out by a ghost, and the five fingers in the canopy were suddenly missing.

At the same time, Wang San'er was full of excitement, feeling as if he was no longer in the canopy, in a dark ice cellar, and someone was standing behind him, giving him a cool breath in his neck, and goosebumps all over his body.

Wang San'er screamed hysterically, got out of the canopy without a head, and in a panic, he saw the oar at the stern, ran over in a few steps, and shook it playfully.

This time, the boat was shaken by him, and it was rowed all the way to the bank of the river, Wang San'er stumbled off the boat, couldn't care about anything, and ran home in one go.

When I got home, I curled up in bed and shivered until noon the next day.

In the afternoon, Wang San'er got out of bed and talked to his second brother Wang Er'er about it. Wang San'er's second brother, Wang Er'er, this person is more courageous, and he also begs for food in the river and makes a living by fishing.

When I heard Wang San'er say that there were water ghosts picking up boats last night, and women crying, Wang Er'er didn't think so, because in the area of Sanwangzhuang, he had never heard of haunting ghosts, and Wang Er'er thought that Wang San'er must have slept in the canopy last night, and these were his dreams. So, he took Wang San'er to the river to find Wang San'er's boat.

When Wang San'er ran down from the boat yesterday, he didn't tie the boat to a fixed wooden stake on the bank of the river.

The boat is the lifeblood of the river runners, if the boat is gone, it means that the job is gone, and it must be recovered
