In the evening, I was drinking eye care tea, and an aunt came to our house to look for a grandmother, "Auntie, my son has a nosebleed again, and I came to ask where there are bowls and flowers." "Bowl of flowers? I remember that there is a lesson in the primary school textbook that describes this, saying that the author's grandmother is superstitious that she will break the bowl when she picks the bowl of flowers, and then the author tries to pick the flowers but does not break the bowl, thus breaking the superstition. I know where there are bowls and flowers, the path through the elementary school, around the lake is a bowl of flowers, there is only one color, and I have heard that picking will break the bowl so I don't dare to pick it, this can cure nosebleeds?

After the grandmother promised her aunt to go back and help her pick, the aunt left.

"Grandma, the ditch in my backyard is not ......" There are also nosebleeds treated in the ditch in the backyard, and the effect is not generally good.

"People say that they want to make bowls and flowers, we can't give opinions indiscriminately, and when the time comes, we can give them to others together." Well, there are a lot of good intentions to do bad things, and when the time comes, people will blame us for not being good, so that's fine.

I volunteered, "Then I'll pick it up after school tomorrow at noon!" ”

The next day at noon, the weather is sultry, I don't let the family milk come together, the family milk on my head spread a wet towel, and then cover the straw hat on it, after lunch, I carried the basket to the lake, the weather of more than September, it is the flowering period of the bowl and bowl flower, the bowl and the flower here have only one color, it is red and white, but the red is light, in the distance to see the lake is white, the lake is surrounded in the center, it is very good-looking.

I took the towel and wiped my face, the hot skin is very comfortable after absorbing the water, the evaporation is too vigorous, the towel will definitely dry for a while, I picked a few bowls and flowers, I put down the basket, took off the hat, ready to go to the shore to wet the towel, since I was a child, I was taught by the family grandmother that children should not approach the lake at noon alone. At this time, I didn't forget my grandmother's words, but in the middle of the day, the lake was so calm, I just let the towel get wet, it should be fine, I carefully walked through the flowers, into the shore of the lake.

The bank slope is very gentle, there is some distance from the water, but the bank slope is very dry by the sun, I try my feet, step on it, it is very stable, suddenly something floats over, it is five cents! Spread evenly on the surface of the water, floating towards me without any fluctuations, strange, there is still money in this lake, and it is so coincidental to float to me? I secretly screamed in my heart, the expression on my face did not change, but my feet were slowly moving back, I blamed myself for not listening to my grandmother, the old saying is good, not listening to the old man is a loss in front of me, my loss is really in front of me.

Many times I will always be disobedient, always holding a fluke mentality, thinking that the probability is so small, how can I just be encountered, but often forget, the encounter is too late, the smaller the odds, the greater the trouble. Water monkeys, commonly known as water ghosts, this kind of thing, I can't tell whether it is an animal or a ghost, so the most difficult, it is an animal and a ghost, the water ghost has almost become a nightmare for parents and children in the vast countryside and even by the lake, how many lives have been lost under its claws, but it is said that some people have caught them like animals. According to the legend of the grandmother, there is a water ghost, and it is said that it turns 72 ponds a day, and it is not safe to use any place where there is water, including wells. So parents will tell their children not to go to these places alone in the summer, and not to go into the water, but so many young lives still disappear into the water every year.

Another reason to say that it is a ghost is that it will conjure up what you want, yes, there are toys for children, money, etc., use these to attract you to fish, and then pull you down with claws, at this time, if someone pulls you, if there are not enough people, it is likely to be pulled down together, there are countless examples of this kind of death, of course, cramps are not excluded. But in the lake where people have died in this way, people will often drown in the future, and the grandmother said, for the dead ghost for the dead ghost, pull one down, it can be reincarnated, and the one who is pulled down becomes a water ghost, if you don't use a stand-in, you will always be a water ghost, this is really when is the retribution, obviously, this water ghost, now I have met ......

I watched the lake slowly retreat vigilantly, for fear that if I didn't pay attention, a pair of black claws would stick out of the water, and I had to exit from a safe distance, I didn't want to be a substitute for the dead, and harm others and myself. Suddenly, the cold hair began to rise again, is it close? I still have to walk through the flowers to get back outside, and I'm starting to sweat again on such a hot day. At this time, my peripheral vision swept a big black shadow, completely different from what I saw that night, this black shadow was completely physical, like a monkey, it sat on the shore like that, motionless, will it pounce and drag me into the water, I will continue to retreat as if I didn't see it, but the tears have come down, blurring my eyes.

I pretended to wipe my sweat, picked up a towel that was almost dry, wiped my tears, and fell into a dilemma. I listened carefully to the movement on the road outside the bowls, as long as there are people, I can be rescued, but will there be anyone at noon? I'm about three meters away from the flowers now, can I get past the water ghost before I get caught if I run over? Probably not, legend has it that it turns over 72 ponds a day, and even if it doesn't, it's amazing.

"Xuanzi! Xuanzi! "It's a family milk! There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, can you wait for my tears to flow again! The eyes are out of sight again.

"Grandma! Home I'm here! I'm on the shore! Come here! "I was finally able to shout, and I glanced at the side of the water ghost, and it really looked like a monkey, with black hair all over its body, and it "plopped" and rolled into the water. When I saw my grandmother come in, I hugged my grandmother and cried, "Oh, my grandmother, I was scared to death just now!" Good thing you're here! ”

"The more I think about it, the more scared I become, you are a child, at the lake at noon, ouch, I can't think about it, I worry when I see your basket and straw hat, why are you disobedient!" Inevitably, another good fight, and finally escaped again.

When it comes to the treatment of nosebleeds, our backyard has a good prescription, because my father's nosebleeds are cured by this, when my father and my mother got married, my grandmother knew that my father often had nosebleeds, so she planted a lot of three white grasses in the ditch in the backyard, and the three white grasses grew in the water or beside the water, and the roots of the three white grass are particularly individual, and they are white after washing, very white and white, and they have roots, and the main ones that are useful are rhizomes. Take the three white grass roots to boil water and drink, and the nosebleed can be cured.

My grandmother and I dug up several roots, washed them, and the roots below were relatively long, and they were very fun in vain. In the evening, the aunt came to ask about the bowl and flowers, and the grandmother gave the aunt the three white grass roots, and instructed them to add brown sugar to boil water and eat the roots together. In fact, this is only the treatment of nosebleeds, and it can also treat women's menstrual irregularities, blood collapse, and abnormal vaginal discharge, but add sugar. Later, I asked my uncle if he had such an effect, and he said that it was about the same, and that it could treat nosebleeds and women's special problems.

The horror of the day is still in front of you, if you want to say that the most feared thing to walk by the lake in the hot weather, it must be a water ghost, but the second thing to be afraid of is to meet a boy bathing in the lake. I go to school during the day on a small road, and I have to pass a big lake, which is not the lake where I pick bowls and flowers, it is very large. Especially in the evening, I often walk and walk, and I find that I can't walk in front, because there is a frolicking sound in front, so change the road, anyway, there are many paths in the field, and it is okay to walk around.

One evening, I saw several figures on the shore of the lake from afar, and they made a detour of their own accord, but who knew that they had just come up from the lake, and I went around the detour, and they walked on the straight road, and they still ran into it, and I walked in front of them, and they laughed quietly from behind, and they were very thin-skinned at that time, and they just wanted to go quickly.

One of them laughed and said, "You're from junior high school, little sister, why are you going so fast?" We don't dare to be interested in children, hahaha. "My head was big, and I started running, and I was still in a panic when I got to the classroom. Is there a bit of morality, and I won't be allowed to take a detour when taking a shower in public? Who knew that after a few days, I heard that someone was drowning in the lake, it was a high school student, and when it was salvaged, there were traces of sharp claws on his legs, and his nostrils and ears were also stuffed with mud, and my scalp was numb, it couldn't be one of those people, I, I had seen them, this was terrible, and the people who were alive a few days ago laughed at me, and now they are dead.

I heard that a few partners who took a bath together were scared silly, and in the last bath, they all got dressed and ready to leave, and when a few boys left, he also walked together, but halfway to the road, someone found that there was obviously one person missing, so everyone went back to look for it, only to find that his clothes were not wearing anything, and he was still on the shore, so who was walking with them just now? Several people went back to a serious illness, and the family of the drowned boy went to school to make trouble, and went to the house of his friends who took a bath together, so what's the point? Human lives are gone, so don't do things with a fluke mentality, it's too late when something happens, and you don't want to die.
