Chapter 1: Greed
Basking in the sun in the afternoon is a good choice, it is naturally a better choice to take a nap peacefully, there are many other options, the key is that some people have no choice!
Oh, sorry!
After death, it seems that people cannot continue to be said to be human, but can only be said to be a ghost.
Jiang Yang is just a ghost.
I don't know how long it was, let alone when, Jiang Yang only remembered that he had already appeared in this place when he woke up. This place Jiangyang is very familiar, it is the river in the east of the village, from childhood to adulthood, until the eve of Jiangyang going out to work at the age of sixteen, Jiangyang will come here to bathe every summer.
"You come back to me."
"There will be no delay, and I will be back before six o'clock."
There are friends waiting outside, Jiang Yang naturally won't let the partners who are going to go to the river to bathe together wait for a long time, the key is that he is afraid that these people will not take him with him.
Jiang Yang is like this, and Jiang Yang's mother can't help it.
The train ticket is eight o'clock in the evening, and now it is only about five o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still more than three hours before eight o'clock, and the time is still early, and the child wants to go to the river to bathe, and he can only go.
This is also the last bath before leaving.
There are a total of three people with Jiang Yang, and the other two are not as old as Jiang Yang, both of them are only about twelve or thirteen years old. It's not that there are no people as big as Jiang Yang, it's just that those who are the same age as Jiang Yang have gone out to work.
This is almost the case for children in rural areas, most of whom have already gone out to work before the age of 16. Those who dropped out of school after graduating from primary school are even more grasped. As long as you go out to work, you can find ready-made money, and basically these people who go out to work don't go back to their hometown many times a year, and they only stay at home at the end of the year.
The river has a nice name, the West River.
The West River and the Yellow River are connected, and the water here is continuous all year round, and as long as the water level drops to a certain position, the water will come in a few days. The meaning of this water also means that the Yellow River sluice will release water from it.
This place is not only for children like Jiang Yang to come here to bathe, but also for adults to come here to bathe.
There are many places to bathe, and boys of Shi Jiangyang's age generally don't go to a very safe place to wash. Relying on the good water quality, Jiang Yang and the three of them went directly to the bridge with the deepest water level to wash, and the bridge was a small sluice.
There is a good saying that whoever drowns knows how to water.
People who can't swim naturally don't dare to go too deep, and only people who think they have good water quality will swim to deep water.
Playing is technology, comparing is ability, people of Jiangyang's age are at an age that does not know the height of the sky, swimming, swimming upside down, piercing the fierce son, Jiangyang plays that is called a smooth slip. (By the way, Zha Mengzi means a way to plunge headlong into the water and swim forward without revealing the water.) )
"Let's see who's far."
"Come, who's afraid of whom." Jiang Yang was not afraid of challenges at all, but shouted and shouted; "Just jump down from here and swim forward, whoever loses will wait to go home bare-bottomed."
The one who competed with Jiang Yang was a little boy named Zhao Nan, and he was also one of the two people who came with Jiang Nan.
"Talking counts, who loses and who goes home bare-assed?"
"Holy! I can't lie to you. Jiang Yang didn't hesitate at all, and stretched out his finger to point at the pencil-like little Ding Ding under Zhao Nan's body, "You haven't even grown hair, and it's okay to lose." I'm different from you, as long as you have the ability to win, I dare to run home with my bare butt. ”
"It's just a little more hairy than me." Zhao Nan looked disdainful.
Children in this year know a lot, and when they were in elementary school, there was a jack-of-all-trades in each class. Basically, there is no such thing as a jack-of-all-trades, and most little boys are enlightened from jack-of-all-trades! Although Zhao Nan's place hasn't grown hair yet, it's not that it can't be used, but it just looks more exquisite.
"I'll be the referee." Another little friend, Tian Di, also spoke at the right time.
There are players, there are referees, and the next thing is to officially start the game.
"Let's go!"
Tian said that as soon as he started, Zhao Nan and Jiang Yang jumped into the water.
The two of them did the same thing, and after entering the water, they did not see any part of their bodies surface. The river is not very clear, nor is it very muddy, anyway, the depth of the two people into the water is not shallow, and the two of them cannot be seen in the field.
Recalling this can be regarded as an end, Jiang Yang remembers it very clearly.
That jump never surfaced again.
Jiang Yang has thought about a question, was it really entangled in seaweed on the day of the accident? Now that they have all turned into a ghost, Jiang Yang naturally has reason to suspect that he was caught by a water ghost on his heel, rather than that there was really seaweed entangled in his foot.
After countless experiments, Jiang Yang could be sure that he himself was dead.
If it weren't for death, it would have been impossible not to be found if he had reached out and stolen a hundred yuan from the trouser pocket of this middle-aged uncle sitting on a small horse.
When he took it out and looked at it, Jiang Yang found that it was not a hundred, but two hundred.
At this time, a person not far from this middle-aged uncle looked at Jiang Yang with a look of disbelief on his face.
The red and bright hundred-dollar bills had fallen out of their trouser pockets, and there was no trace of the phenomenon of landing in the air, which would surprise anyone.
This person's surprise, Jiang Yang completely saw it in his eyes.
In order to prevent such a strange thing from continuing, Jiang Yang let go of his hand and let the two red and bright hundred-yuan bills stacked together fall from his hand. The money had already fallen, and the man rubbed his eyes, and there was still some disbelief in his eyes.
The people who squat by the river are some idlers who often fish, this kind of person has no other hobbies, and the only hobby is to go fishing all over the world with a fishing rod. It is an exaggeration to say that the world is all over the world, but the reality is that there are only some places where you can fish in the city.
What is the ancient human heart, through this little thing, Jiang Yang has a certain understanding of some people.
The man who saw the middle-aged uncle drop the money didn't tell the man that his money was gone, but just casually put the fishing rod on the bracket supporting the fishing rod, and walked towards this side with a cigarette in his hand.
What an abominable person!
Jiang Yang knew that this person was going this way to take advantage of the money, and this person was not paying attention to picking up the banknotes on the ground as his own. Knowing that this person had such a mind, Jiang Yang naturally couldn't watch this person succeed. There is a saying that bad people only grind bad people, and naturally there is a precedent that bad people have their own ghosts to grind.
Jiangyang is that precedent.
"A cigarette?" When this person arrives here, he directly sends a cigarette.
The middle-aged uncle did not refuse, and reached out to take the cigarette and asked casually; "How's it going today?"
"I've only caught two small crucian carp so far, not as many as yours."
Dong Laxi said some things that people often say, and this person squatted directly next to the person who dropped the money, and stepped on the two red and bright bills with one foot impartially.
Things have developed like this, and they are basically set.
There are exceptions to everything, and when this man reached out to touch the money under his feet, he suddenly had a constipated look on his face. I couldn't touch the banknotes, and the constipation look on this man's face was even stronger.
It's impossible not to touch it, huh?
It's not a way to always be untouchable, and this person is already a little flustered. After a few casual words with the person who dropped the money, the man left here with a puzzled expression.
They had all returned to their place, and the man was still thinking about what had just happened.
I can't think about some strange things at all, and the more I think about it, the more panicked I become.
Thinking about it, a thin bead of sweat appeared on this person's face.
From the moment he saw the banknotes floating in the air, this man felt that something was wrong. Thinking it was because of the dazzling eyes, this man didn't think much about it. Greed got the upper hand and sent him that way, and what happened after that was even more bizarre. The man could be sure that one foot had already stepped on the banknote, and it was in that case that the bill was missing.
I was already sweating in a panic, but now I don't dare to think about it.
The one who dropped the money had not yet found out about the money, and turned to look at this person, and the one who dropped the money spoke; "Go back so early?"
"There's something going on at home, I have to go back."
Is there something going on at home? Since he thought that something would happen to his family, Jiang Yang naturally had to find a way to satisfy this person. Let what he says turn into real accidents.
It won't take long to clean up these fishing rods or something, this person is leaving, and Jiang Yang naturally follows secretly. What Jiang Yang didn't expect was that this person did not leave here directly, but walked south along the road by the river, and stopped again this time after walking some distance.
There are many people fishing by the river, and the place where this person stops is the most crowded place on the river.
This kind of thing has already happened, why don't you hurry home and dare to stay here?
If he dares not to leave, Jiang Yang will dare to rectify him!
