Chapter 1: Chen Yuqiao

The following story I tell you should be used as a pastime after tea and dinner, or that sentence must not be believed, and not fully believed! Don't imitate. People attribute things that can't be explained by science to superstition, just like I've seen some diseases that can't be found out in the hospital and can't be seen well, but some gods, gods, and half-immortals can make a cup of tea, burn chapter charms, and light pillar incense. It's called hysteria! It is a type of superstition that people attribute to it.

The protagonist of the story is not a special human being, nor does he have special abilities, let alone heaven and earth. It's just that he knows some common sense of yin and yang, knows some spells, and knows a little more than ordinary people.

We post-90s generations have all watched Uncle Ying's movies, right? Isn't it that since I was a child, I felt that people who learned the Tao were coaxed! In fact, everyone in the world has their own way of living, you are happy, some people are happier than you, and some people are more painful than you.

I'm the hero, the hero is me, my name is Chen Yuqiao, listen, how about the name? Someone must have said that this is a woman's name! Yes, people have said that since I was a child, I was not happy with the name when I was so old.

Why? Yuqiao, what is it to say that the man has a rain word, and the female bar has a bridge word that is ugly? Therefore, it is said that it causes men and women to be neither male nor female, whether it is a class or not, there is no way to call it for so many years, even if you want to change it, you can't change it.

I remember when I was a child, I asked my mother why she was called this name, and my mother told me without thinking: If you didn't have this name, would you be able to grow so big? What are you asking!

Here's the thing, it is said that I was a premature baby when I was a child, and it was not the right time to give birth, and the fortune teller said that my eight characters lacked fire and water and balsa wood. It is said that it happens once in a hundred years, anyway, it is quite evil!

When I was a baby, it was called a frail and sickly, and I don't know if it was because of premature birth or because of the light figure, or because of the two together, you should know that people who are light can usually see things that ordinary people can't see, and they just understood it at the time.

My mom said that I spent most of my full moon at the health center. My grandmother told me that once, everyone thought I was dead, and the hoe was all in hand, and I was ready to dig a pit, but at that time I still had half a breath and no one dared to bury me, so that half of the breath has been mentioned until now. And basically I don't sleep at night, crying night after night, which makes my parents miserable.

After all, I still have to carry it in one breath, not to mention that I am a man who can carry the tools of the crime with me, and I am reluctant to give it to others, let alone lose it.

Fortunately, my grandmother was called a person at the time, and now she is called a superstitious person, and she hugged me in the winter to ask God, and since then I have a name, and there are a lot of godfathers and godmothers, those godfathers and godmothers are not people, of course, they are not ghosts, that thing is a god, the most famous of the godfathers is the top name of the monkey brother, smashing the Dragon Palace, breaking into the underworld, beating the Monkey King of the Jade Emperor, and the godmother has more. It is said that the Son does not say "Father", so I will not introduce them one by one.

There's also a legendary baby I don't know what it's called, just call it 'Black Triangle'! It's not big, it should be an equilateral triangle, an equilateral triangle, it's a must, I'm not a big-tailed wolf, everyone knows. That thing was sewn with black cloth, and there was a piece of paper in it, which must be a charm!

It's strange that since I brought the black triangle and recognized those godfathers and godmothers, I have been much more down-to-earth at night, I don't cry anymore, I don't make trouble, and I get sick less. Premature babies still get sick there more often than others. My mother once said to me in a serious way that a hundred dollars in bills tied up are bigger than me!

Although it is said that it is sick, it still grows up peacefully, but the physique is placed there after all, it is a circle smaller than that of children of the same age, and the six-year-old looks no different from the three-year-old or four-year-old, and it looks very young.

My family is not particularly rich, my father works outside all the year round and only comes home for a few days during the Chinese New Year, and my mother has to do farm work, so when I was a child, I generally followed an old man in the neighborhood, that old man is amazing, his surname is Chen Mingyangzhang, is a famous gentleman in ten miles and eight towns, helping people to see feng shui, go to hysteria, set eight characters, choose a day

He always laughs when he is a person, I call him grandpa. Although he is over 70 years old, his body is very tough, and he always has a bear hug when he sees children.

Usually when he is free, he will teach me to play chess, write calligraphy, and play erhu, and I am also very close to him, he always says that I have grown up and done extraordinary things, but I have never done anything until now. I sometimes watch him draw talismans, but he doesn't hide them. He will also explain patiently to me, and when I was young, I should listen to the story if I didn't understand it, and sometimes I listened to it all afternoon. Usually he will sit under the tree with me and tell stories about water ghosts, hanged ghosts, and ghosts for the dead

Later, when he grew up, he had to go to school and receive an education, and gradually alienated him. It's also to blame the teacher for saying that there are no ghosts in the world, so I treat him as a god stick, and run away when I see him. But I saw that the teacher burned paper on the side of the road twice in three days, and if he wanted to burn it to his relatives, then his relatives could open a bank underground, right?

It wasn't until one thing happened that I realized that there might really be something in the world that science hadn't discovered yet. This incident is also a shadow of my childhood, and every time I think about it, I am afraid!

I remember when I was only nine years old in the second grade, I didn't know what the danger was at that age, it was just a hot day in July, and the older children went swimming, and a few small tutors were there, and they dared to go into the water and come back to "eat noodles", everyone must not know what "eating noodles" is, right?

In our countryside is better than in the city, there are no slippers for beating children, and there is no washboard for chicken feathers, why? How can the washboard have time to kneel for you, chicken feather stalls are more expensive than people in the countryside, and they are used to beat people's hair, who is it? The slippers in the countryside are all of the best kind of **, and the attack power of taking off the shoes is no worse than the eighteen palms of the dragon, reluctant!

In the countryside, children are tied with small bamboo branches, usually parents for convenience, beauty, deterrence, temptation, etc., will say: Then who will come to eat noodles! We know that this face is not the other side, and there is no good face, and you will definitely be in tears after eating. On my side, noodles are a very sacred thing that cannot be desecrated. Okay, it's time to walk. Straight to the point!

Because, so we always have to hide in a deserted place when we swim, several people who are not afraid of death, including me, discussed at school in the afternoon, and finally thought of a good place, that place is a cold pool even in the hot summer is extremely cold, surrounded by wasteland, weeds are one person high, absolutely no one, that place also heard of haunting, in the evening there is the sound of stones hitting the water, once upon a time there was still farmland because I heard that it was haunted, so the land was not wanted, and gradually it became deserted. It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they are not afraid of being young and ignorant at that time, but now they don't want to go again even if they give money.

At that time, seven people were ** years old children, and they set off in a mighty way, and when I got to the pool, I felt that something was wrong and didn't dare to go into the water, everyone would definitely ask me how something was wrong, to be honest, I didn't know, it just felt wrong, and it seemed that someone in my head told me: don't go down, you won't be able to go up.

I told them about it, but they scolded me for being cowardly, and then they ignored me, I saw that they didn't believe it and only felt that it was their own delusion, maybe it was really cowardly, and I didn't think about it at the time. Seeing that all six people were in the water, I was left alone on the shore, and the beauty said that his name was Wangfeng, which was also called to observe the enemy's situation, that is, to see if there were any adults passing by. Anyway, where are there people in this hellish place?

So I don't look around, I just watch them swim, and it's fun to watch them play. I almost couldn't resist the temptation to be tricked into the water a few times, or maybe I shouldn't have died, or I didn't go into the water because I was determined, or I wouldn't have told you a story today.

Said that the pool is quite big, and the circle next to it is not deep, the deepest is more than a meter, and the deeper it is in the middle, anyway, we are definitely rich to drown, I don't know how deep it is. At that time, those people didn't know how to swim, so they dared to play on the sidelines.

When I watched them look drowsy, I saw in a daze that there seemed to be one more person, seven! At that time, I thought that it was seven when I came, but I was thinking about it, seven when I came, but I didn't go down on the shore, why are there seven in the water? At that time, I suddenly woke up, and when I looked closely, my head buzzed, and it was over, and I must have met a water ghost.

Seeing the thing swimming towards a partner named Chen Hai, I immediately panicked and shouted, "Chen Hai, come up." ”

While picking up a stone and throwing it that way. Maybe that thing knew I found it. Glaring at me in the water, I could see the true face of the thing, and I was afraid to move again, let alone speak, just stupidly looked at it. The face of that thing was much larger than that of ordinary people, probably because it was soaked in water, it looked very bloated, wearing a long black robe in tatters, and a pair of eyes were red, which was very scary.

Chen Hai also heard me calling him, so he raised his head and asked me what I was doing, but before he finished speaking, it was like he tripped over something and fell into the water, he struggled hard but still couldn't get up, and slowly floated towards the middle, like a kind of force pulling him, I panicked, I knew that if Chen Hai reached the middle, he would definitely die.

I plucked up the courage to shout "Oh no"

I remember that the sound was very loud, and the others came back to their senses, and a few bold people swam over quickly to pull Chen Hai, but the three of them really couldn't pull one of them, but seemed to be pulled by Chen Hai, and slowly floated towards the middle. Seeing them struggling, I jumped into the water quickly and desperately, without taking off my clothes, and fortunately they were not far from the shore, although there was a lot of resistance to running in the water, but I still quickly rushed to them and grabbed the one at the back, and I don't know why I grabbed them and they didn't float in the middle and didn't move.

I pulled them back with all my might, and suddenly there was a backlash, and my feet slipped and fell into the water, as if the thing had let go. I was happy in my heart, and immediately struggled to stand up and look, my heart sank to the bottom again, there were six people in the water, including me, Chen Hai didn't know where to go, everyone knew that it was bad and was afraid, and quickly returned to the shore, some shouted Chen Hai heartbreakingly on the shore, and some went to find someone.

After more than ten minutes, a few adults finally came, first scolded us, and then looked at the water but no one dared to go into the water, just watched from the shore, and gradually there were more and more people, and I sat on the stone wet.

In the end, it seemed that my mother came to pick me up, on the way home, I saw Grandpa Chen hurrying over, and stopped when he saw me, first scolded me, he was the first time he scolded when he was so big, although he forgot what he scolded, the tone was still more concerned, and finally asked me if I saw something?

He didn't wait for me to answer and rushed in again, and when he went home that night, it was naturally indispensable to "eat noodles", but the tears that night were not because of the pain of "eating noodles", but because he was sad for Chen Hai. The brother who grew up was gone, and I still don't know where he is buried.

If I tried so hard to prevent it from happening, if we had believed that it wouldn't have happened. Because this matter has always adhered to the attitude of preferring to believe what it has than not to believe it.
