Chapter 19: Water Ghosts
"Why are you so excited!" Uncle gave us both a blank look and said. "Eh, Daxian, is there any misunderstanding, you don't know how to ......" Before Bai Mei'er finished speaking, the uncle said lightly, "Are you questioning me?" ”
Hearing Bai Mei'er's words, I snorted coldly and deliberately said to Bai Mei'er, "Yes, uncle, did you miscalculate, who is rare and him!" Before my uncle could speak, Bai Mei'er turned her head to look at me angrily and said, "You ......" I stuck out my tongue and said disdainfully, "Cut!" ”
Uncle said with a little crying and laughing on the side, "Hehe, you two are quite interesting, anyway, I said it, believe it or not!" Saying that, my uncle yawned, and then said, "Hehe~ Alas, people are easy to get sleepy as soon as they get older, so I'll go to sleep first." You go on. Uncle stretched and left.
Bai Mei'er and I looked at each other coldly in the room, and Bai Mei'er suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the door and said, "You, get out of here!" "Why, why!" I shouted.
"Miss Ben wants to sleep!" Bai Mei'er spoke. "Cut, the old goblin who has lived for thousands of years still needs to sleep!" I said deliberately. "Whew~" A strong wind suddenly blew in the room, and I looked up to see that Bai Mei'er was looking at me with murderous eyes.
Well, I'm wearing a vest and pants now, and I haven't felt cold when I started listening to Bai Mei'er tell her story, but now I'm shivering when the wind blows me.
I pinched out the three clear tricks, hurriedly ran out of the door, my teeth chattered and said, "Jun, gentleman, move, don't move." Count, count you ruthless! "Huh~" A gust of wind blew, and with a "plop" sound, it directly pushed me out of the door, and the door of the room was closed tightly.
I slowly got up, gritted my teeth and muttered to the room, "Old goblin! With that, I ran to my uncle's room. In the room, Bai Meier is "fluttering"
Cover your mouth and chuckle, suddenly, stunned again, sigh lightly, I don't seem to have laughed so heartily in the past thousand years. At this time, I heard a voice from the next room.
"Hey, uncle, why don't you wash your feet! I don't want to sleep on your feet! You squeeze in! I'll sleep next to you! After a moment, "Hey, old man, don't pretend to sleep!" ”
"Smack!" "Oops!" "You little calf! As soon as Lao Tzu fell asleep, he listened to your chirping! If it weren't for the hot water being used by you, a kid who has never used water in your life, wouldn't Lao Tzu wash it? You kid love to sleep or not, don't sleep and get out! ”
"Uncle, can you give me two mugwort leaves?" "What are you doing!" "I'll put it in my nose to see if I can resist your athlete's foot, which is stronger than the smell of corpses." "Click", the sound of a cup breaking. "Hey, uncle, uncle, you, don't get excited, I, I'll go to bed right away! Sleep right away! ”
Early the next morning. Bai Mei'er washed her eyes, moved her feet to the window of her uncle's room, looked inside, and saw that I was holding my uncle's feet, and I was there to tapp. She couldn't help but smile again.
"Hey, stinky boy, get up and punch!" My uncle closed his eyes and kicked my face with his foot and said. "Oh, oh." I replied in a daze, then opened my eyes, yawned, and reluctantly sat up.
I got up with my eyes half-closed and went out the door, only to see Bai Mei'er looking at me at the kitchen door. I swallowed my saliva, immediately refreshed, and said with a smile, "Sister, are you up?" ”
"Yes!" Bai Mei'er nodded slightly, but her eyes were not as cold as yesterday.
Bai Mei'er then asked, "Hasn't the Great Immortal gotten up yet?" "Hey, don't mention it, this old man won't get up until he sleeps in the sun." Hearing me say this, Bai Mei'er smiled lightly, ten thousand styles, I was stunned there.
Seeing that I had been looking at her, she blushed and said, "I'm going to cook!" With that, he turned and went into the kitchen.
I stood there alone. "Stinky boy, what are you looking at?!" Suddenly, a slap hit me on the head, and I covered my head and grinned and said, "No, I didn't see anything." Uncle, why did you get up so early! "If you don't get up, I'll hear you kid talking bad about me behind my back!" Don't hurry up and finish this set! Uncle blew his beard and glared.
I had to smile and punch. In the kitchen, Bai Mei'er heard the sound outside and pursed her lips and smiled.
"Huh? White girl, what are you doing? Why is it so fragrant? Uncle asked as he smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, and walked to the kitchen. Hehe, Daxian, it's lotus porridge. Bai Mei'er replied softly. It seems that the old man, I have taken it orally! Hahaha......"
That's it, staying with Bai Mei'er, a year has passed, this summer vacation.
"Uncle, uncle," I shouted as I trotted. "What are you shouting! Lao Tzu's soul is not gone! Uncle said angrily.
Mei'er and I stood under the tree, looking at my uncle who was sleeping on a chair, and I said, "Uncle, when Mei'er and I went out to collect shells on the river beach, I heard that there were dead people on the other side of the reservoir, and this is the third death this year. ”
"Water monkeys? Let's go, let's see. Uncle opened his eyes suddenly, sat up from the recliner and said.
By the time we arrived at the reservoir, the crowd had gradually dispersed, only a small number of people were watching, the people who were salvaging the bodies were busy working, and the families of the deceased were crying heartbreakingly.
Looking at the appearance of the deceased's family, Bai Mei'er frowned and said, "Daxian, can we help them?" The uncle shook his head lightly and said, "We can't help with this kind of thing, people's thoughts and sorrows can only be diluted by time, and it may not be diluted by time, this is love, family affection." And we don't have the power to bring him back from the dead. ”
"The body has been found!" Suddenly, a man who was salvaging the body shouted to the others.
"Let's go, let's see, although we can't bring him back from the dead, the only thing we can do is let him die." Uncle walked quickly to the place where the body had been found.
This place is under a bridge, on both sides of the reservoir are rows of poplar trees, next to the poplar trees is a piece of thin field, can not grow crops, can only plant some peanuts or something, I heard that this person is picking peanuts when it is hot and came to the water's edge to clean when it fell into the water.
When the three of us came from the bridge to the edge of the reservoir, the body had already been salvaged, and the people next to us were hula, and the family members of the deceased were crying even more sadly.
When we came to the crowd, I saw clearly that the family of the deceased was a woman in her 30s and two children about 6 or 7 years old, looking at their siblings who were a little scared and didn't know what was going on, looking at the tearful mother and the dead father lying on the ground, my nose was a little sore.
Looking back at Bai Mei'er, she was already in tears, and the people around her were looking at her, thinking that she was also a relative of this person. I smiled bitterly, after a year of getting along, this girl is usually very fierce, but in fact she is very kind-hearted.
"Come, come, please let me take a look." At this time, the uncle spoke. "Who is this man?" "I don't know." The people next to him were talking. "Huh? Isn't this Master Liu from the neighboring village? Quick, quick, let him take a look! I don't know who said this, everyone suddenly realized and consciously got out of the way.
"Thank you." Uncle nodded and said.
When the woman heard this, she rushed up excitedly, grabbed her uncle's arm, and said, "I've heard of you, Master Liu!" Whether my family was killed by a water ghost or accidentally fell into the water and drowned, I beg you to let him go well and not let him suffer here! Woowoo woo ......"
Uncle frowned and said, "Don't get excited, pay attention to your body, there are still two children you need to take care of!" The woman looked back at the two innocent children, wiped her tears, and nodded.
The uncle looked around the corpse, bent down and touched it, and gradually his brows were twisted together, and he said after a while, "Well, I haven't seen the specifics yet, but the big guy gives me a few days, and I will definitely find out about this matter, so that this brother can leave with peace of mind." Let's trouble the villagers to help this sister-in-law handle the brother's funeral! It's not good to put it here! Finally, under the arrangement of the uncle, several people carried the body away with a cold mat, and all the onlookers also left.
I looked at my uncle and asked, "Uncle, don't you see?" Bai Mei'er also looked at her uncle with a puzzled expression.
"I can see that there are a lot of people, so there is no need to make things so troublesome." Uncle said. "What's going on?" Bai Mei'er asked. "Hehe, do you see anything wrong with that corpse?" Uncle looked at me and Bai Mei'er and asked.
"Hmm," I said after a moment's silence, "he has a black mark on his arm!" "Hehe, that's right." Uncle nodded appreciatively.
"And what does that mean?" I asked, puzzled. "Stupid!" Uncle slapped me, looking at me covering my head and grinning, Bai Mei'er pursed her lips and smiled.
"This means that there are water ghosts in this water." Uncle lit a cigarette and said softly. "Water ......," Uncle covered my mouth and whispered, "We'll come back in the evening." Now go back and prepare things. ”
Walking on the road, my uncle said to us, "The so-called water ghosts are the transformation of people who died by drowning, because of their unnatural deaths, so Yin Si sentenced these people to stay in the drowning water for decades, or even hundreds of years, until they have repaid the cause and effect of this life before they can be reincarnated, and some ghosts are quite resentful, and do not want to suffer from waterlogging, so they look for a substitute to bear it instead, this move is sent by heaven, even if it finds a substitute, whether it can be reincarnated is still unknown, but there are still so many idiots who are making mistakes." ”
"If they don't know if they can be reincarnated, then why do they have to find a substitute for an unknown thing and harm the lives of others?" Bai Mei'er asked. "Alas, this is stupidity, it is obsession, the obsession is too heavy, and you have lost your own heart. Living people in the world often do things that harm others and benefit themselves, and sometimes they even know that they have no profit to gain, but as long as they can harm others, they are also happy to do it. Uncle said mockingly.
