Chapter 21 On the banks of the Prince River
In my city, there is a famous river that runs through this ancient city, and the name of the river is the Taizi River. The reason why it is called the Taizi River is because during the Warring States Period, the prince of the Yan Kingdom, Dan Zuihou, threw himself into this river and died, so it was named the Taizi River. The big Zhou in the story is my classmate in high school, and the second high school we attended, not far behind is the Taizihe Park, and the background has been explained.
Anyway, I was a sophomore in high school that year, and I had already finished the liberal arts class, and many of the students in the liberal arts class were classmates in their own class, and there was a situation where we were in a messy string of classes, at that time, Da Zhou was friends with a girl in the liberal arts class, and this article is temporarily called this girl Xue'er, so Da Zhou will go to the sixth class as soon as he has time, and Xiaoqi, the daughter of my father's colleague, was the class president of the sixth class at the time (I was also the class president in high school), and she was still a neighbor with my family, so I went to the sixth class to eat and go home with my neighbor when I had a meal at night and when I got out of schoolOver time, I came together with Daesu.
It was a dusk after autumn, due to the maintenance of the city's power system, we didn't have to study at night, one by one we went home with our schoolbags, Da Zhou in order to be close to Xue'er, so I pulled up to go home to play ball, made an appointment with my goddess, and a group of three people walked to Taizihe Park to play. In fact, there is nothing to play in the Taizi River Park, after all, everyone is born in the city, and they often wander around the Taizi River when they are young, even if the park is built in the later period, that is, there are more fitness equipment for old men and old ladies, or some railings are built along the river, and some trees and flowers are planted. Along the way, listening to Da Zhou's non-fart and fart saying some jokes that are not funny at all, I was helpless to the extreme, I couldn't help it, the light bulb was sad.
The three of us walked back and forth along the river, and it was really boring, so Xue'er proposed to go to the Taizi River Pipe Bridge, which is a simple bridge made of a number of cement pipes sinking into the shallows of the river and covered with a layer of jade slabs. The reason for the curiosity is that the pipe bridge dies every year, and it is not strange in our local area, until the pipe bridge was recently demolished, and a "McDonald's" bridge (M shape) was built on the original basis.
When it comes to the dead man on the bridge, it's strange. Here are a few widely circulated sayings to briefly describe them. Myth 1: Every year, there are water ghosts that have drowned before and need to be reincarnated, but when the water ghost is gone, a new ghost must take his place to control the aquatic animals in Hanoi, so when the water ghost service expires, he will find a suitable time to drown his person on the pipe bridge, so that he can be reincarnated again. Rumor 2: During a special period of the Yanhuang clan, many people who were labeled as black five categories and bad elements, as well as the descendants of some landlords, were forcibly dragged to the bank of the Taizi River by the red and angry youth of the martial arts faction to be executed, resulting in these unjust souls being neither ghosts nor reincarnated, so at a certain moment, these unjust souls will come to the pipe bridge to find a living person to take revenge. Rumor 3: The material of the pipe bridge is built by the tombstone damaged by the Yanhuang clan in a special period, and there are too many resentments in it, when the resentment reaches its peak at a certain moment, it will make those weak people walking on the bridge hallucinate, and then fall into the water and drown. Myth 4: Most people get dizzy, which means that they get dizzy after looking at the flowing water for a long time, because the pipe bridge is very long, and the bridge deck is not high and there is no guardrail, the water flowing down when the water rises often does not fall off the bridge body, people walk on the water, walk and walk either dizzy or deviate, and then fall off the pipe bridge and drown.
To sum up, the pipe bridge was covered with a veil of mystery, so it was normal for Xue'er to propose to go there, so the three of us began to walk towards the pipe bridge on foot. It was already dark, and all the street lights around me were on, and just as I was about to reach the pipe bridge, I felt worse and worse, and my chest felt like it was pressed by a big stone, and I could hardly breathe. But the two of them were normal, still throwing off and striding forward, "Wait a minute." I squatted down and grabbed Dae-seok's clothes, "Jiao, are you going to have diarrhea?" Da Zhou made a sentence, "It's uncomfortable, let's go back." "I feel that my body is starting to chill, just like the kind of cold that the northwest wind blows on you when you stand outside in the third and ninth day." If you really can't hold it back, I'll wait for you with Cher. "Da Zhou is afraid that after I leave, Xue'er will also go home with me, so he quickly started talking nonsense. Cher walked on nonchalantly, as if the two of us were air. Da Zhou was anxious when he saw it, and he didn't care about my life or death, so he picked me up and started chasing Xue'er.
Just as Da Zhou dragged me to pick up Xue'er, I began to hallucinate, the surrounding scene began to change, the surrounding railings, trees and flowers have changed, the sky is as dark as now, but there are no street lights. Suddenly, a dozen half-grown children of the same age as me walked past me, and they were dressed with obvious characteristics of the times, but by reading some past materials, I deduced that this was definitely the dress of a certain period, but the strange thing was that some of them had clubs in their hands, some of them had machetes, and one of them also had an old-fashioned large sand gun, and all of them were holding a rope in their idle hands, and looking behind them, there were several people who were tied up strongly, and I wanted to go over and take a look, but my body was frozen. And he couldn't speak, he could only widen his eyes and look at everything that was happening around him. I carefully counted the people who were tied up, and there were seven people in total, the first was an old man with gray hair, followed by an old lady with gray hair, followed by a middle-aged man of about forty years old, a woman in her thirties, a girl of my age, a man and a woman, two children under the age of ten. Although they are different in age, the same is that almost all of the people who are tied up are not only frightened, but also have more or less scars on their bodies, and their mouths are stuffed, and almost all of them are dragged forward.
When they saw the pipe bridge, the group of children in front of them were extremely excited, "Hurry up!" The red angry young man with the sand gun shouted to the crowd behind him, and several red angry young people behind him also grabbed the rope and dragged it vigorously to the side of the bridge, because the drag was very sudden, and the old man who walked in the first place was taken to chew, and the people behind the old man also stopped and looked at the old man distressedly. You capitalist reactionary still want to run away? A few angry young men quickly ran over in front, picked up the guy in their hands without saying anything, and beat the old man indiscriminately. The old man's back immediately turned bright red, and the old man's painful voice was not loud because of his face down. I really wanted to rush forward and beat the dog, but I couldn't move, so I could only watch what happened. When this group of red and angry young people found that the old man really couldn't get up, two people came out and put the old man up from among the red and angry young people who participated in the beating, "What do you see, you bad elements, the black five categories, still do not accept the people's education, and what awaits you will be the judgment of the proletarian people." As he spoke, he carried the old man to the bridge, while the rest of the bound people silently lowered their heads and followed the old man.
