Wang Sihe pointed to the bamboo pole in his grandmother's hand and said, "Isn't this okay." ”

Grandma looked at the bamboo pole in her hand and hesitated for a moment, and then gave the bamboo pole in my hand to Wang Sihe, my father saw this, reached out and snatched the bamboo pole in my grandmother's hand, and said, "I will tie it with Sihe." ”

Grandma hurriedly said: "That's not good, this bamboo pole is still very useful." ”

My dad didn't care, and waved his hand, "What's the use, it's okay, go to Sihe." ”

"Puff puff pass" twice.

Grandma wanted to ask my dad for a bamboo pole, but before they could ask for it, my dad and Wang Sihe jumped into the water again, and grandma shouted to them: "Leave a bamboo pole on the shore." ”

My dad turned around and shouted, "Let's get rid of it together, it's too cold in the water." ”

Grandma stomped her foot on the shore.

The two bamboo poles are probably more than two meters long, and my father and Wang Sihe can be tied to the end without diving into the water.

Grandma seemed a little anxious at this time, helpless on the shore, and I stood beside her, staring intently into the water.

My dad and Wang Sihe didn't tie up for a while, Wang Sihe shouted, "Pierced brother, pierced"

My dad quickly swam to him, and pricked it at the place where he had been rooted, and said, "It's different here, there's something under the mud, you take me a rod, and I'll go down and feel it out." ”

As he spoke, my dad stuffed the bamboo pole into Wang Sihe, and plunged into the water.

After a while, my dad came out of the water, and my grandmother took two steps to the water's edge and asked, "Is that the child?"

My dad wiped the water from his face and replied, "It's a child, I touched one of his arms, but his body was so tight in the mud that I couldn't pull it out." ”

Wang Sihe said: "Brother, let's drag it together." As he spoke, Wang Sihe put the bamboo pole in his hand into the water next to him and dived into the water with my father. This time, after stopping for a long time, I didn't see my dad and Wang Sihe come out, and from our view, there was only a circle of undulating and very rippling waves on the water, obviously, my dad and the two of them were working hard under the water, but it didn't go well.

Grandma became more and more anxious, and her hands were clenched together. I was still young, I didn't have that sense of urgency, like a person who had nothing to do, seeing that my dad and Wang Sihe didn't come out for a long time, bored to look back and forth at other places in the pit, when I looked at the pit not far away, I was suddenly startled, there was a glowing thing swimming on the water, and I hurriedly raised my hand and said, "Grandma, look, what is that?"

Grandma looked in the direction of my finger and exclaimed, "The soul fish is the ghost of the water ghost child."

What is the "soul fish" The soul fish is a form of the water ghost, sometimes it may be a person when you see it, sometimes it may be a big fish that attracts you, and when you jump into the water, the fish will be gone, and at night, this fish will emit a cold phosphorescence like a firefly. This sounds a bit mysterious, but let those who have met it say it, it's not mysterious at all. In the past, this kind of fish was very common in the Yellow River, but there was no one who caught this fish, and the people who went into the water to catch this kind of fish drowned in the river.

At this time, the soul fish was swimming towards my dad and them, and my grandmother hurriedly turned her face to the water where my dad and the two of them dived in, and shouted: "Zhenlong, Sihe, come out quickly"

If you shout into the water on the shore, you will not be able to hear it if you are not paying attention. But grandma's shouting didn't fall, there was a bang on the water twice, my dad and Wang Sihe really got out of the water, I guess I didn't hear the shout, it seemed that I was out of breath, just came up to breathe, and the two of them didn't look at the shore after they got out of the water, floating and gasping for breath.

My grandmother hurriedly shouted at them again, "You two come up, come up."

My dad and Wang Sihe heard it at this time, wiped the water on their faces respectively, and my dad turned his head to the shore and shouted, "It's almost pulled out, and we can pull it out when we take a breath." ”

Grandma was anxious, stomped her feet and shouted, "There is a soul fish in the water, you come up first." ”

My dad and Wang Sihe glanced at each other, and probably felt that something was wrong, and swam towards the shore one after the other. At this time, I glanced at the soul fish, and it was gone, so I hurriedly said to my grandmother: "Grandma, the soul fish is gone." ”

Hearing this, my grandmother turned her head to look at the soul fish, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she shouted to my father and Wang Sihe anxiously: "You swim faster."

Grandma's voice has not fallen, Wang Sihe, who was swimming behind, suddenly sank into the water, and disappeared on the water, grandma saw this, and her body staggered, almost did not turn over on the shore, I hurriedly helped her, grandma shouted to my father in a trembling voice: "Zhenlong, look at Sihe, pull him out"

My dad swam in front, listened to my grandmother's shout, looked back, and didn't even stop, and a fierce man plunged into the water.

My dad disappeared suddenly, and there was only a splash left on the water, and my grandmother, who had always been steady and calm, seemed to be in a mess at this time, and I saw that her eyes were full of tears.

After a while, my dad came out of the water, very reluctantly, as if he was dragging something very heavy in the water, and was pulling it up with all his might, and suddenly, my dad sank again, as if he couldn't withstand the strength of the thing. I could feel my dad struggling at this time, it was painful.

"Daddy" I yelled at the surface of the water and jumped straight from the shore into the water.

Although I can only dogfight, although my dad often joins forces with my mom to beat me, he is still my dad.

"Yellow River, you come up for me" Grandma really cried this time, but I ignored her, swam to the place where my father sank, held my breath, and fell into the water

The water in the pit was completely muddy, and the mess was swinging on my face, and I didn't dare to open my eyes, even if I opened my eyes, I couldn't see anything, and my ears and eyes were full of buzzing sounds, and it seemed that my grandmother was still shouting on the shore, and I couldn't hear what was shouting, and the urn was loud.

While swimming to the bottom of the water, I touched the water with my hands, I don't know how deep I dived, and suddenly I touched a slippery thing, carefully touched, like a person's shoulder, there seems to be a layer of oil film on it, but this shoulder is not big, it is cold and piercing to the touch, just like the little hand that grabbed my foot and neck before, I was suddenly excited, at this time I can figure it out no matter how stupid I am, such a small shoulder, such a cool shoulder, it can't be my father and Wang Sihe's, this shoulder can only be

I gritted my teeth, and pinched the shoulder with all my might, and at this moment, the water around me was shaking, and it felt like an undercurrent gushing out of the bottom of the water, and I was so shocked that I almost didn't open my mouth, and at the same time, the little shoulder slipped out of my hand like a loach, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I steadied myself and touched it again, but I couldn't touch anything again.

At this time, I ran out of breath, and I surfaced in a hurry, and in addition to the sound of water in my ears and eyes, I heard my father's shout: "Mom, where is the Yellow River?"

I hadn't opened my eyes yet, so I hurriedly replied loudly, "I'm here." Then I wiped the water on my face with my hands, and when I opened my eyes, my father was swimming quickly towards the shore with Wang Sihe, and I was actually in the water near the opposite shore, and I could almost climb to the opposite shore when I turned around, I felt that I didn't swim so far, it was estimated that the "undercurrent" just now washed me here, but I didn't notice it at all.

At this time, I realized that it was indeed quite cold in the water, and I couldn't help but shiver and swim towards the opposite shore with the water fluttering.

My dad went ashore with Wang Sihe, and my grandmother grabbed the two of them and asked long and short questions, it seems that my grandma is really worried today, my dad and Wang Sihe said that it was okay, and they didn't have time to say anything, and looked at me at the same time.

I happened to swim to the middle of the water at this time, and when I saw them looking at me, I swam in the water and shouted at them, "I didn't" I wanted to shout that I was fine, but before the words came out, I felt a cold little hand on my ankle grab it violently, and I shivered, and couldn't help but scream "ah".

"What's wrong," Grandma cried out, feeling like she was about to break down at this point.

I didn't say anything more, and kicked the leg that had been caught in the water. This is the second time I've been caught, and that's how I kicked it last time.

However, the little hand didn't let go of me this time like last time, and it felt a little strange, the little hand didn't pinch me hard, didn't pull me under the water, just grabbed my foot and neck without moving.

My dad and Wang Sihe jumped into the water again, of course I couldn't sit still, and kicked hard twice, but I still didn't wait to break free.

My dad and Wang Sihe quickly swam to me, and my dad asked me, "What's wrong?"

I said quickly, "There's a hand grabbing my foot and neck." ”

My dad didn't say a word, and suddenly dived into the water along my body, and then I felt my dad hold my calf with one hand, and the other hand may have grabbed the little hand, pushing my calf forward, pulling the hand back, I felt the water under me move violently, and the little hand was torn off my dad's foot and neck.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, the water splashed right in front of me, and I looked at it, and my dad came out of the water with a dead white child in his arms, and ah, I choked on a big mouthful of water in fright, as if I had drunk a mouthful of corpse water, and I was disgusted. I've choked on water in the pit several times, and once I found a rotten dead rat floating not far from my mouth that was almost bone-baring, and it was disgusting, this time, even worse than a dead rat.

I was nauseous and coughed, Wang Sihe swam to my father's side at this time, and the two of them carried the white dead child to the shore.

When I got ashore, my dad and Wang Sihe had already laid the dead child flat on the shore, and my grandmother was squatting in front of the dead child and didn't know what to do.

This time, I didn't scream and look at the dead as usual, and stayed away. Why, it's disgusting enough to choke on that saliva just now, if I see the dead child again, I'm afraid I'll leave a shadow for the rest of my life, the dead mouse has left a shadow on me in the past, and I can't ask this dead child to leave me another one.

After working with the dead child for a while, the grandmother went to the water's edge and pressed the soul-attracting lamp into the water, and the wick was next to the water, and then the grandmother took the lamp out of the water, walked to the dead child, and poured the lamp oil on the dead child.

This is a saying, this is called "pouring souls", but some things can only be understood but not spoken, probably meaning that after the corpse is fished out of the water, the soul is still in the water, and the soul-attracting bulb enters the water, and the ghost will drill into the lamp oil along the wick, and then pour the lamp oil on the corpse, which means that the corpse and the soul have come out of the water, and the soul can come out of it again as when he just died, and maybe he can restore his previous consciousness, which is not easy to explain.

Before I came, my dad and Wang Sihe both took the guy who was digging the pit, because my brain was confused before, and I forgot to explain, so my grandmother found a place nearby and asked my dad to dig a pit with Wang Sihe and bury the dead child.

In the end, the grandmother squatted on the grave of the dead child, burned a lot of yellow paper, and said to the grave: "Your father also went a few days ago, you take the money, hurry up, on the Huangquan Road, you father and son may be able to be companions"
