Chapter 20: The Abyssal Pool

On that day, the ninth grandmother took her son to incense the ninth master under the leadership of those two people, and when she came back, how did she feel that there was a big cauldron in the depths of the reeds, and there was a shining thing next to it, but the ship had anchored, and everyone didn't care, so the day went on like this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But since that day the ninth grandmother came back with her son, she found that her son suddenly became silent, and he didn't know where to look all day long, as if his personality had changed, and sometimes at night, he would talk like a dream and say some things that the ninth master loved to say when he was young, and the ninth grandmother was worried that it would not be a matter to go on like this, so she asked someone to tell him a matchmaker, so a girl from the neighboring village was told to enter this fisherman's house.

originally thought that when he got married, his son would be cheerful a little bit, but it still didn't seem to have changed, but what changed was that the little daughter-in-law's belly was getting bigger day by day, and the ninth grandmother was happy, and her heart said that this time the ninth master had a future.

It is said that she was pregnant in October and gave birth once, but it has been almost a month, and the little daughter-in-law still has no premonition of giving birth.

According to the days counted by the ninth grandmother, it should be the twelfth month of pregnancy, the little daughter-in-law finally gave birth, still a boy, this coke broke the ninth grandmother, hurriedly went to the midwife to get candy and money, the midwife is also a real person, only took the sugar, did not ask for money, and quietly pulled the ninth grandmother to the hospital, and whispered, no money, no delivery, should not ask for money.

Grandma Nine was stunned, "Didn't you deliver the baby, or did you come out by yourself?" ”

"Well, you're right, you swam it yourself!" The midwife had a strange expression on her face.

"It didn't even use scissors, the child swam out of the blood water by himself, and just fell into the big wooden basin used for midwifery, and swam up directly like a fish, as if he had solved the umbilical cord before he came out, and I didn't help much!" The midwife said as if she felt a little guilty.

"Why, take this money, it's still there!" Grandma Nine took out a few pieces of money from another pocket and handed them to the midwife, this time the midwife took it, and people knew that this was not the money for the midwife, this was to be sealed!

After the midwife took the money and left, the ninth grandmother went into the back room in three steps and two steps, and the little daughter-in-law was probably too tired and had fallen asleep in bed. Hearing the sound of water, Grandma Nine looked again, heh, in that big wooden basin, a little black boy with a bare ass was swimming happily in the water.

The ninth grandmother came to the basin lightly, carefully observed the child, and found that he would swim on his back for a while, and then swim with his head covered like a fierce child, but no matter what kind of swimming posture, how did you look like the posture of the ninth master's swimming back then. This idea made the ninth grandmother excited, and after thinking about it, she said that it was too right to give this money to the midwife, and this should be passed on to the village, and it will not be treated as a monster in the future.

After all, it is a child of her own family, Grandma Nine carefully took the little black boy out of the water, and wrapped it in a small quilt prepared in advance, although he was thinner, but the child's appearance was still very energetic, which made Grandma Jiu wipe her tears again, and said in her heart how good it would be if the ninth master did. Thinking of this, I thought of my only son, that is, the father of this child, who should let him take a look, after Wan Xu has a child, maybe that dull spirit will get better.

So, the ninth grandmother put the child next to the little daughter-in-law, and went outside to find her son, but she couldn't find it on the left or right, so that's it, and since then, the ninth grandmother has never found her and the only child of the ninth master. When people in the village asked, she always said that she had gone far away to join her relatives, and everyone knew in their hearts that how could anyone have voted for relatives for such a long time, and they obviously didn't know where to go, but they couldn't bear to say it, so this became a well-known secret in the village.

The husband didn't know where to go, and he had to take the young children and take care of the elderly, which was a bitter little daughter-in-law, and in this long time, the little daughter-in-law also became an old daughter-in-law, but her husband just didn't wait to come.

In this way, when the ninth uncle was ten years old, he lived with the ninth grandmother and grandchildren, fishing during the day, weaving nets at night, and not interacting much with the people in the village, so the ninth uncle's personality gradually became withdrawn.

But until this time, people still only called him Jiu'er, because in his family's big rank, he was the ninth in the row, so he was called down. Uncle Jiu's water nature is naturally good, and it is common for Zha Mengzi to stay in the water for about ten minutes, so the children in the village still admire his water nature.

In a place where this big river leads to a tributary, there is a big sluice, which is used for the flood water, and the sluice gate is usually closed, so the upstream water level of the sluice is particularly high, and the high water level naturally forms a big pool over time, no one knows how deep it is, but they all know that there is always a whirlpool there, so they all tell their children not to go to that place to swim, and some scare the children that there is a nest of kings there, and they can't get out when they go in.

The children are also obedient, no one goes to the edge of the deep pool, the ninth uncle doesn't care about this, often there to catch fish and shrimp, because of the inaccessibility, the fish there, shrimp are naturally much larger than elsewhere. Grandma Nine was also worried about her grandson, and always instructed him not to go to the pool to catch fish, but after all, he was old, and he only nagged a few words, and it was completely up to him whether Uncle Nine listened or not.

Uncle Jiu has never known about the ninth master, and it is even more impossible for him to know that the southeast side of this big pond turns two corners, which is the big reed field that the ninth master used to go to back then, that is to say, the small wharf of the Japanese was not far from this pool.

One day, it was still a sunny sky, and suddenly there were dark clouds, which was a precursor to rain, and the average fisherman anchored on the shore, but the ninth uncle didn't care about this, he liked to catch fish on a rainy day, why, because there was enough oxygen on a rainy day, and there were often big fish that would come out of the water.

Not only confiscated the net, the ninth uncle also came to the deep pool, at this time, it was already lightning and thunder, but the ninth uncle was more and more excited, when the big raindrops hit the water, the ninth uncle was pleasantly surprised to find that in the center of the pool, the tail of a big fish has turned out, the ninth uncle quietly went into the water, the harpoon in hand, and swam to the center of the pool.

Seeing that it was three or four meters away from the fish, it may be that the fish also saw him, and actually showed the face of the fish, ready to run, the ninth uncle saw clearly, the fish head was the size of a basketball, and the eyeballs were like the size of a table tennis ball, how could the ninth uncle lose this rare opportunity, a harpoon forked over, because the goal was too big, not to mention such a big target, it was the usual small crucian carp, and the ninth uncle was also a fork, and this time he put the big harpoon on, but the strength of this fish is really big enough, Uncle Nine felt his hand holding the harpoon tingle, and his body involuntarily followed the harpoon, sliding deeper into the deep pool with the big fish.

Originally, I could get out of danger as soon as I let go, but the artist was bold, and Uncle Jiu had never been afraid of water, and said in my heart, I can hold my breath for a long time to see how much strength this fish can have, so I didn't let go.

The things in this water are like this, once they enter the water, the strength will increase exponentially, and after being frightened, they will often swim to the complicated terrain, the big fish with the strength of the ninth uncle, and suddenly it was brought into a stone field, just a big stone blocked the way, the fish is also smart, a sideways side drill from under the stone, the ninth uncle was unprepared and hit the stone, because of the force just now, plus this collision, he fainted at that time.

Later, I heard that when Uncle Nine was discovered, it was on top of a large bush of reeds, and some people said that something seemed to be swimming under the big bush of reeds, so people asked what was wrong with Uncle Nine, and what he said also frightened people.

According to the ninth uncle's recollection, after he was knocked unconscious by a stone, he lost consciousness, and his body kept falling, and in the haze, he saw his mother, and there was a man next to his mother, and the way he described it reminded people of his father's appearance. He said that he kept falling, and suddenly there was no water at the bottom of this pool, and he could breathe, as if he had come to another world, saying that there were two old men with white beards playing chess, using a stone chessboard, and placing stone chess pieces.

So he asked them, "What kind of place is this?" Why did it suddenly run out of water? There was an old man with a white beard who said, "This is your home, would you like to live here?"

The ninth uncle replied that no, there is still a grandmother waiting for him to raise at home.

Hearing this, the white-bearded old man cried, and the old man next to him persuaded with his hands, why did he persuade with his hands, because it seemed that the old man could not speak, and he still had a cauldron on his back, but he was gesturing with his hands.

After a while, the old man who had been crying laughed again, as if Uncle Jiu's words had comforted him. So he asked the ninth uncle to close his eyes and open his mouth, saying that his eyes could not be opened and his mouth could not be closed in the process, so that he could be sent back. So the ninth uncle closed his eyes according to what he said, opened his mouth, and felt like a cloud driving through a fog, and his mouth was like a cold ball being spit in and spit back, because he didn't dare to open his eyes, and he didn't know what was going on, so he came back like this, but he still remembered that when he came to the water, the old man still pinned something on his waist.

At first, everyone thought that he was stunned, and some said that it was a child making up stories, but when some old people saw something else on Uncle Jiu's waist, they knew that what Uncle Jiu might say was true, because what else on his waist was the flying fork engraved with "Luoshu River Map" on the ninth master's back then.

Xiao Jiu'er went home and handed the flying fork to Grandma Jiu, and Grandma Jiu wiped her tears again, and said to Xiao Jiu: "Child, this is your grandfather's, he is a big hero, your grandfather saved you, take care of this fork!" ”

Grandma Nine heard that in the pool, Xiao Jiu also saw her father, and said in her heart, I am relieved, it seems that I have all gained the Tao, after all, there is a landing, I am also relieved, and it was in that year that Grandma Jiu smiled and finished her life. The ninth uncle didn't cry, he said, "Those who die will be reborn in another place!" ”

When people heard what this child said, they all wiped their tears, but from then on, they were all far away from Uncle Jiu, maybe they weren't afraid, they just wanted to live a normal life.

Later, Uncle Jiu's water nature suddenly increased a lot, and it was rumored that Jiu Ye spit out his soul and ability into Jiu'er's body, and after a long time, some people called him "Nine Ghosts", neither praise nor derogation, because this is a real water legend.

The village chief and the father of the second son also knew that my ninth uncle and I were usually very reasonable, so they also echoed the grandmother and said, just trouble the eldest nephew to make a hard trip. Just as I was about to encourage the ninth uncle to go out, my grandmother called me over, took out a small piece of red cloth, and took out rice wine from home, wrote something on it, and asked me to put it in my pocket, before agreeing to let me invite the ninth uncle.

Walking on the road, I said in my heart, how nice it would be if Xiao Jing was next to me now, how majestic, a large group of people still need me to help, just thinking about it, someone patted me behind me, so I felt a chill on my shoulders in this big summer, I didn't look back, I laughed with a poof......
