Chapter 14, haunted by water ghosts
There is a dilapidated land temple in the field not far from the west end of the village, and in order to respond to the call to break the feudal superstition, the incense has long been cut off.
Now it's a secret base for our children.
The previous incident of the two dogs being bitten by a big fish and a small bird frightened the adults, and a beating was indispensable.
It's just that the half-grown son of the nineties and teens is the age when even a dog is disgusted, where do you care about a meal or two fat beatings, the scar has already been healed and the pain has been forgotten.
"You know what? I discovered a huge secret last night..."I deliberately lowered my voice and said it was extremely mysterious.
The second dog was the most anxious, so he hurriedly came over and asked, "Fengzi, what's the secret?" ”
I lifted it a little, and then saw the inquiring look in the eyes of the mouse and the monkey, and then I told them the events of last night in a serious way.
The tone of the tone is frustrating, the story is twisted and bizarre, and the comparison is comparable to the storytelling of Teacher Shan Tianfang on the radio.
I was stunned when I heard these boys, I was very proud to look at my results, but who knew that my voice fell, and the two dogs covered their stomachs and rolled all over the ground laughing, and said that I had watched too much Journey to the West, and I was sleepwalking and dreaming at night.
I snorted, turned around and walked out, I hated the feeling of being told the truth and being listened to as a joke, it was really embarrassing.
I kicked Tugra under my feet in frustration, my shoulders were heavy, and Ergouzi's arm was already on my shoulder, "Fengzi, I don't know what kind of person you are?" We believe you are. There are indeed fish monsters in Qingshan Lake, which will eat men's birds..."
After speaking, a few people laughed and leaned back together. I was angry for a while and shouted: "If you don't believe it, forget it, one day you will regret it, don't blame me for not being righteous enough buddy to warn you in advance." ”
Seeing that I was anxious, the two dogs forced a smile and stepped forward to hook my shoulders and comforted, "Okay." We believe in you. When you go back, you must tell the adults in the family to pay attention. ”
I just dissipated my anger, Xu was angry just now, the weather was hot, and the smell of sweat all over my body, Qingshan Lake was naturally unbearable, and the two dogs had an accident, and they couldn't hit the muzzle. Second, the fish monster is really weird.
"Qingshan Lake, we can't go. The small stream at the door should still be able to be played. I suggested.
Several other people were probably itching for a long time, so they hurriedly nodded in agreement. Anyway, if something happens, I'm a freak to blame it.
We deliberately walked a little further downstream, a little further from the village, and found a bottomless pool, where a few people took off their pants and jumped into the cold water with a puff like a mermaid.
It was more refreshing than sweating and drinking a cold beer.
The rat is a bit competitive, especially with me. In addition, the last swimming competition was canceled because of the second dog, so he looked at me provocatively and said, "Fengzi, do you dare to try again?" ”
I can't get used to the expression of the mouse, and besides, in addition to studying, how has he beaten me since I was a child? Even if we study, we are the eldest brother Mo Xiao's second brother, one from the bottom and the other from the bottom all the year round.
"Than what? Tell me a word? I asked, wiping a handful of water from my face.
The mouse's eyes rolled, "This pool is too small to swim." Let's be a fierce man like this. Whoever stays underwater for the longest time wins. ”
"What's the stake?" I asked with a smile.
The mouse also replied with the determination to win: "Whoever loses helps the one who wins finish all the summer homework." ”
I slapped the rat's raised palm into a high-five.
The referee is naturally two dogs and monkeys.
"One, two, three...... Begin! ”
I took a deep breath and pinched my nose and dived underwater.
Due to the sunny weather in recent days, the water flow speed is not large, so the bottom of the water is also clear, I keep paddling my feet, keep my body balanced, through the water, looking at the two dogs and monkeys is like looking at a haha mirror, twisted and deformed to see the real.
My original tactic was to conserve my strength and float in place, and when the rat couldn't hold on, I would dive in, but in the water I could faintly hear a faint cry, like the sound of a spring cat. I couldn't help but be curious, and I looked around.
I vaguely saw that there seemed to be some movement in a hole blocked by aquatic plants at the bottom of the pool, and I didn't think about it that much at the time, relying on my good water quality, I dived directly to the bottom of the water. After the swinging water weed is removed.
There were a pair of blood-colored eyes that met me, with a cold light, and I opened my mouth in fright, and cried out, and there were strings of blisters rising in the water.
I subconsciously covered my mouth and swam my legs desperately.
As soon as I turned around, there was a pain in my ankle, and something sharp pierced into the flesh, and I didn't dare to look back, staring at my legs desperately, trying to swim to the surface.
It's just that at this close distance, I can look up and see the fat piled up on the belly of the second dog, but no matter how hard I try, I can't swim up.
It was almost explosive in my chest, and I knew I couldn't open my mouth or I'd be drowned. I can only endure the feeling of suffocation.
Suddenly, there was a tremendous tug at my ankle, and I felt myself sink rapidly.
Holding back my fear, I turned to look behind me and saw a small, monkey-like creature about 60 centimeters in size grabbing my ankle and dragging me into the water.
A pair of red eyes glowed with bloodthirsty light, looked at me coldly, and grinned at me very humanely, revealing sharp teeth that were uneven.
Could this be the legendary water ghost?
My mind quickly popped up with the water ghosts that the village elders were talking about, commonly known as water monkeys.
It is rumored that this water monkey is extremely powerful in the water, but it is vulnerable on the shore.
The squeezing sensation in my chest was getting heavier and heavier, and I could feel that my scalp was about to be suffocated, and I didn't know where the fierceness came from, and I kicked the water ghost with my other foot.
The water ghost was also clever, and with arms as long as his body, he retreated far away, but his sharp claws firmly grasped my ankles.
I screamed in pain, forgetting that it was in the water, and that there was a cold, fishy smell of lake water pouring into my mouth.
Consciousness gradually blurred, the body floated softly in the water, and it was really beautiful to look at the sun outside in the water.
Although the sun was shining, it was at least warm. I secretly said in my heart: If I don't die in this catastrophe, I won't pretend to be forced anymore!
Seeing that I was no longer struggling, the water ghost swam to my side, and looked at the water ghost up close, and I couldn't help but curse in my heart: I am grass. How can you be ugly like this?
My eyes bulged out of my sockets, and the top of my head looked like someone had struck me with a sledgehammer, and a large chunk of it was sunk in, and the sharp-beaked monkey's gills showed me a mouthful of small, sharp teeth.
I could seem to smell the stench of carrion coming from the water ghost's mouth.
Even though I wasn't conscious, I couldn't help but vomit all the dinner I had last night.
The water ghost didn't care at all, and opened his mouth wide like a bite from my neck.
The moment I closed my eyes, I seemed to hear a shrill cry and a flash of pale yellow light.
There is a sense of serenity and peace.
Am I dead?
