Sister Hong of Wan'an Building is really domineering, and the fifteen tickets given to Yu Qiang are the most luxurious travel packages, not only can you freely enter and exit the reservoir to play, but also can eat and stay for free in the designated farmhouse. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Qiang walked in the front, while introducing the surrounding scenery and legends to the girls around him, while looking for the farmhouse we were going to.
Maybe it's for the convenience of playing, the farmhouse we live in is closest to the reservoir in the village, it belongs to a single courtyard, the small courtyard is very clean, and a large vegetable field has been reclaimed around the courtyard, and there are four or five apricot trees planted around the vegetable field.
We were greeted by the owner of this farmhouse, surnamed Zhang, is a more talkative uncle, although dressed plainly, but people are very clean and enthusiastic.
After a while, he helped us to put our luggage in order, and then registered our ID number, and arranged seven rooms, it seems that Yu Qiang had already called, our group of people, almost filled this farmhouse, Uncle Zhang happily hung a sign at the door that was full, and then arranged a meal for us.
A feast of wild vegetables, so that the children in these counties eat is particularly delicious, a few boys, and even a few bottles of beer, eat and drink, it is not early.
Except for a few classmates who were in love with each other and went for a walk outside the village, the rest were all around the table and chatted, originally I also wanted to go out with Linlin, but I saw the existence of Dong Qingting, and Linlin didn't seem to want to go out, so I sat down bored and listened.
What can a bunch of children talk about, in addition to who and who has scored in the test, the most talked about is the Wan'an Building, which has been in trouble in the county recently, but this topic has just been talked about when it came, so a few bold male classmates told ghost stories.
The storyteller is a short, yellow-faced male classmate, his tone is slow and fast, and when he talks about terrifying places, he will pretend to be a mysterious sneer, and soon the girls will scream in fright. I listened to it very boringly, and looked at my watch, it was already past ten o'clock at night, and I wanted to rest, but these guys seemed to be fascinated by it, and I lived with one of them, so I was embarrassed to go back first, not to mention, and Linlin was here.
Just when I was bored, Uncle Zhang also came over with a dry tobacco in his mouth, stood next to me and listened for a while before interjecting.
"Little guy, this ghost story you said is not scary, have you ever heard of the water monkeys in Shiniu Mountain?"
Sure enough, as soon as I heard that Uncle Zhang was about to explode, the squad leader Yu Qiang hurriedly got up and gave Uncle Zhang a seat, and the other classmates also begged him to say it quickly, but my heart moved, and I remembered the record of the water monkey in the master's codex.
Water monkeys, strictly speaking, are a kind of existence that minds animals and ghosts, and in other places, some people also call this thing water ghosts, water stumbling blocks.
In the Codex, water monkeys are classified as water demons, brutal by nature, and mainly feed on dragging people into the water. Of course, the food here does not mean rice, but food. It is said that this water monkey is mainly born by eating the soul of the person who enters the water, and the more it eats, the stronger its ability will be, and when it reaches its strongest, it is also a rare drought fish in the legend!
If a drought is formed, this strength will be terrifying, and it will be hundreds or thousands of miles of drought on the ground, and they already have the ability to control the weather.
Uncle Zhang saw that the classmates were enthusiastic, so he laughed twice and began to speak.
"This Shiniu Mountain, it was not called Shiniu Mountain before, but called Cuiping Mountain, the scenery on the mountain is beautiful, and the farmers in the mountain also live and work in peace and contentment. They live along the river and live mainly by fishing.
At that time, the adults went out to fish in the village during the day, and the rest of the children played by the water. If you want to talk about the children of Cuiping Mountain, don't you want to be now, those children have grown up by the river since they were children, although they are not very old, but each of them is a good swimmer.
However, it is often said that those who drown know how to water, and one afternoon, the Li family Dumiao in the east of the village, as usual, went down to swim in the river with his friends with his bare buttocks.
At that time, the weather was hot and there was no rain for several months, so the river was not too deep. However, this day seemed destined to happen, and the Li family had just entered the water when he was swept into the middle of the river by an undercurrent. At that time, there were many children who came to swim together, and two of them were older and jumped down to save him without saying a word.
It's a pity that this person was not rescued, and the two who jumped down were also swept away by the undercurrent. When the rest of the children saw the dead man, they were frightened on the spot, crying and running.
When the adults in the village came, there were still people on the calm river, so ah, the village organized a few good water to go down and have a look, but the result! ”
Speaking of which, Uncle Zhang also learned from the guy just now to render the atmosphere, but he didn't learn well, and no one paid attention to him at all.
As a result, it took a day for the villagers who went into the water to finally fish up two drowned corpses, these two were none other than the two who saved the Li family Dumiao yesterday, but only this Li family child, but no matter how they salvaged it, they couldn't find the body, and later, they searched for a long time along the downstream, but they still didn't find the body of the Li family Dumiao.
It stands to reason that it is normal that the body cannot be retrieved, after all, the river is flowing, and the river is so big, who knows where the child was washed away.
Strangely, since the child was drowned, the villagers found that every morning when they got up, they could see another series of footprints with water outside their windows, which were not big, the size of a half-grown child, and it seemed that someone had stood outside the window and looked into the room all night last night.
At first, the villagers thought it was a prank, but as the days passed, they all paid attention, and in the middle of the night, they would quietly look out the window.
It's okay not to look at it, but when you look at it, something has happened. The first one who had an accident was the old man in the village, he was a lonely old man, he was the only one in the family, and he barely survived by relying on the help of the villagers on weekdays, so he usually slept less, this day he was the same as usual, just after falling asleep, he heard the sound of walking outside the window, so he unconsciously looked outside, and as a result, the frightened old man almost didn't go directly to the underworld to report.
I saw that on the glass outside the window, there was a blistered head lying on his stomach, and his eyes were almost invisible because of the swelling, and he could only see a jagged tooth grinning and drooling at him.
The old man screamed in fright a few times, and then ......
When the neighbor next door delivered food to Lao Guan early the next morning, he found that there was no one in his house at all, the door was open, and under the glass window, there were a pair of wet footprints.
The neighbor felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly called the rest of the village to go out and look for it, but as a result, there was no need to look for it, and the people who went out to fish had already found Lao Guan's body from the river.
Since then, the people in the village have been scared, some say that the water monkey has come ashore, some say that the sea god is angry, and everything is said. However, apart from being afraid, they can't do much, and if they don't go to sea to fish, they will starve to death. Let's move, first, no, and second, there is no such condition.
So after they finished the funeral for Lao Guan, they decided to take turns to come out to patrol the night, and the result was really crooked, and for a week, the wind and waves were calm, and nothing happened.
But just as they let their guard down, a fishing boat that went out to sea to fish capsized, which is usually and occasionally the case. But today, the ship capsized. First of all, the fishing boat had just come down the river, and secondly, the weather was good today, and there was no strong wind or waves at all. As for the undercurrent, it is even more impossible, they fish every day, and they have long counted where they can go and where they can't.
If the boat capsized, then hurry up to save people, but what the rescued villagers didn't think of, the five people who fell into the river on the boat couldn't wait for them to pass, and they sank one by one without even having time to call for help.
You must know that this boat has not sailed far at all, it is only a few minutes from the shore, and the five people on this boat are all veterans who have been fishing all their lives, even if they can't swim to the shore, it is still easy to hold on for a few minutes, but the strange thing is that this is it.
The five of them spat a few blisters and sank in front of the other fishermen's eyes, and within a few minutes, five corpses floated up.
Five people died in this instant, and it exploded in the village! In the past, although half of them drowned for various reasons in a year, how could it be so outrageous this year, in just half a month, 9 people died in the village!
This is forcing them to die! They will die at home, and they will die when they go down to the river, this time, it really makes the villagers a little scared, and it is almost strictly forbidden for children to get close to the river on weekdays, and those who go down to the river to fish are only going around the shallow water area by the river, and they don't go in at all.
Despite this, the dead continued, but after three days, the five bodies had not had time to be buried, and there were dead people in the village again. This time, it's even worse.
Maybe the children were too strictly controlled by adults, maybe the children were too rebellious, they didn't go into the water for many days, plus the weather was hot, and there was no current fan air conditioning, so these children, I don't know who provoked them, and they sneaked to the river in a premeditated and organized way. Moreover, in order to fear that the family would find out and scold, they also specially chose a relatively remote river.
As a result, when the villagers found it, there were more than a dozen children, all floating in the river, and the scene, oops, was so miserable! ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Zhang sighed and shook his head. Sure enough, this trick tortured the students who listened to the story enough, and they shouted one after another, 'Later, later'.
Uncle Zhang laughed proudly and continued with a smile.
Later, these villagers were so scared that they almost killed the children in their village. So everyone pooled money and prepared to invite some capable gentlemen to come and have a look.
But who knows that if you invite three in a row, you will either cheat on eating and drinking, or you will run away after just one glance, which is useless. Just when they were helpless and ready to discuss the relocation of the village, a beggar came to the village, and the life of the people in this village should not be extinguished, so he kindly gave the old beggar a few steamed buns, and left the old man for one night.
The old beggar left on his own the next day, and then the villagers were astonished to find that the river began to roll in a big wave, and there was an undercurrent in it, and there seemed to be a huge monster churning back and forth in it. Moreover, God finally opened his eyes and it rained heavily. This rainstorm is half a month at once, and when the rain stops, people go to the river to take a look, and the river becomes quieter. On the bank of the river, two figures seemed to have been washed ashore by the river.
When people looked over, they saw that these two figures, one of them was the old beggar who had left him that day, and they saw that his face was weak, his face was pale, and his mouth was open and closed, and he was almost the last breath. And next to him, there is a half-grown child with **** and yellow hair, this child has sharp-beaked monkey gills, sharp fangs in his mouth, and his eyes are sunken inward, it seems that he has been dead for several days, and the corpse has begun to stink. But even so, people still easily recognize that this monkey-like guy is the drowned Li family Dumiao, turn it over and take a look, sure enough, the birthmark behind it is exactly the same as the Li family's child, but I don't know why he turned into a water monkey after his death to harm people.
The villagers poured a sip of water on the old beggar and asked him what was the matter, but he only said a few words in a hurry, and then he died. It turned out that this old beggar was a gentleman, and he didn't plan to get involved in this water monkey when he came here, because he knew that as long as he was involved, there would be absolutely no good end, but the people here were simple, and he accepted the favor of others, and in order to pay off the cause and effect, he fought with this water monkey to the end.
When the old beggar was dying, he asked the villagers to bury his body on the top of the hill and build a stone ox facing the river at the head of the grave to suppress the monsters. The villagers listened to the words of the old beggar, and at the highest point of this mountain, a stone cow sculpture was built, and later people in order to commemorate the old beggar, and the government is revising the place name, so this place was named Shiniu Mountain, and this village, originally had no name, and therefore, was named Shiniu Village by the government.
The river slowly became shallower and shallower, and then gradually dried up. Without the river, the villagers' livelihood became a problem, so after several years of hard work and the help of the government, they built another reservoir on the site of the original river, which is now the Shiniushan Reservoir. ”
After Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he smiled and smiled, but in response to him, he sighed one after another, these students couldn't see the word fear on their faces, they were still immersed in this strange story, and for the water monkeys inside, maybe they just listened to it as a story.
