Grandpa walked to the water's edge and stopped when he saw the black shadow. The water was so deep that it was impossible to see the exact shape of the black shadow, and everyone sweated.

Although it was terrifying, I followed my grandfather to the water's edge. What the hell is the dark shadow underwater, is it my daddy, or something else?

Thinking of the broken rope just now, I felt panicked.

Gradually, the silhouette of the shadow became clear, it was the shape of a person, and he was shirtless, struggling to swim up. He's not my dad, who else could he be?

My heart that I had chosen in my throat finally let go slowly, and I secretly cheered for my dad in my heart, hoping that he would swim out of the water quickly.

It became clearer and clearer, and when I saw my dad snorting and breaking out of the water, my nose was sore.

Daddy is fine, he's really fine!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and what had just happened made everyone sweat.

I looked at my dad, he wiped a handful of water from his face, gasping for breath, his face was white and scary, seeing that everyone was staring at him, my dad squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "I'm fine, don't worry!" ”

In that case, it's strange not to worry, but fortunately he's fine.

Grandpa looked at my father, he didn't froze for a moment, he threw the rope on the ground to my father, he must have lost his strength, otherwise he would have swam directly to the shore.

"Mingyi, hold on to the rope!" Grandpa threw the rope over, Daddy held the rope tightly with both hands, and as soon as he got ashore, Daddy sat on the ground panting for breath.

He was so tired that he didn't know what was going on underwater.

"Mingyi, what's the matter, why did the rope break?" Grandpa went over and asked.

My dad touched a handful of water on his face and said, "The underwater roots of the tree are intertwined, and the rope hangs on the roots, and it is broken into a dead button in the water, and it can't be moved, so I cut the rope." ”

I didn't expect it to be like this, it turned out that when the rope was shaking, it was actually my dad cutting the rope, and everyone thought my dad was asking for help.

"Why don't you come back when the rope breaks?" Grandpa was almost scolding my father, in fact, when he saw the rope broken, I am afraid that my grandfather thought that my father was more than lucky.

"There's a very deep hole near the bluestone underwater, and there's a lot of space in the cave. I didn't see the heads of any of them outside, so I wanted to go inside and have a look, but I didn't expect that the cave was bottomless, and I dived to the limit, and I came back. But when I came back, I couldn't use my leg cramps, which made you worried......" said Daddy, who seemed relaxed when he spoke, but when he was actually underwater, it was definitely not that easy.

After all, he didn't have any diving equipment with him, and he knew how terrible it was to have leg cramps underwater, and he couldn't use his legs and feet. A person can suffocate in a very short period of time without oxygen underwater.

"And then?" Grandpa continued to ask.

"Then I let myself float up and go to a shallow place, the water in that cave was too cold, and now it's fine!" Daddy paused and continued: "The underwater cave is very deep, but there is nothing else, so, several of them...... I haven't found it! ”

When my dad spoke, something flashed in his eyes, I don't know what it was, but it was certain that he found something, but he didn't say it.

In fact, what happened to Daddy just now has already made those villagers sweat, even if they don't find it, they can't take the lives of the living for the sake of the dead.

Of course, everyone understands this truth.

Fortunately, Dad's matter is just a false alarm, I don't even dare to imagine what our family will do if Dad is gone, what will happen to Grandpa......

Grandpa took my dad's pulse, and my dad was fine. He took out the compass from his satchel again, and walked around the spring pool a few more times, as if he didn't find any other clues, and Grandpa just shook his head slightly, maybe there was something wrong with him.

The other family members of the deceased carried the deceased back, and when they died, they needed to be buried in the earth.

But the death of these people is indeed too strange.

Three people died at once, and each one of them had no head, and it exploded in our village. Many people believe that a little pause in revenge is coming.

The village is becoming more and more uneasy, and some villagers even plan to temporarily go to the homes of relatives in other villages to avoid the limelight.

The work next to the spring pool was busy until the afternoon, and when I returned, it was dark.

It wasn't until I got home that my dad said, "Dad, it's not that I didn't find anything underwater, it's just that there were a lot of people at that time, and some things were inconvenient to say!" ”

Grandpa stopped, and he asked, "What did you find underwater?" ”

Dad glanced back at the piece of white cloth that was still on the clothes line, and said with an ugly face: "There are a lot of white cloths tied to the roots of the tree under the water, this is this kind of white cloth!" ”

This surprised the grandfather a little, and he asked, "What? ”

Daddy nodded, there was that kind of white cloth tied to the roots of the tree under the water, what did that mean? What does that white cloth have to do with the white cloth that suddenly appeared at my house and couldn't throw it away?

It left me in a fog, and I always thought that my grandfather might know something.

At this time, my father asked: "Dad, do you know something about it, you said it when you gave Zhu Heiwa a soul!" ”

Indeed, at that time, my grandfather said that when the spirit was summoned, it was no wonder that there were no other wandering ghosts with him, it turned out that there was such a thing with him, and my grandfather seemed to recognize this white cloth, and the main owner on the white cloth.

My father's question made my grandfather stunned, and he said, "I don't know much about this white cloth, but I do know more than you. In fact, this matter is related to the Yang family in Yangjiazhuang, in fact, it is not only others who are curious, I am afraid that your father and son are also curious, why is our village called Yangjiazhuang, and only our family surnamed Yang? ”

Daddy nodded immediately, and I asked from the side, "Grandpa, why is this?" ”

My grandfather looked at me and replied, "Yangjiazhuang has existed in the Song Dynasty, and according to legend, there was a great drought at that time, and the Yang family went into the mountains to find the spring water in order to avoid the drought, and survived there. In the Ming Dynasty, Yangjiazhuang was quite wealthy, and more than half of the village was surnamed Yang, but then a strange thing happened, the head of the Yang family added a child, the child was covered with scales, and even the eyes were yellow. Isn't it a goblin when he looks like this, the Yang family thinks that this child is an evil animal born by Mrs. Yang's cheating affair with the goblins in the mountains, so in front of Mrs. Yang, the child was stoned to death! ”

I could hear the hairiness on my back, but I couldn't help but ask, "What about later?" ”

Mrs. Yang was found to be cheating with monsters, according to the rules of the Yang family at that time, the pig cage should be immersed, and there was no big river in Yangjiazhuang, so Mrs. Yang was carried by several people and thrown into the spring pool in the broken temple in the west of the village, and Mrs. Yang was wearing white clothes when she died. Mrs. Yang's death was unjust, after she was drowned, it rained heavily for seven days and seven nights in Yangjiazhuang, no matter day and night, lightning and thunder, very terrifying. An even more bizarre thing happened seven days later, seven days later, the head of the Yang family died, and he lay straight in the Yang family's house, holding a white cloth in his hand. Grandpa sat down, and he took a puff of dry tobacco.

"Then, the people of the Yang family died in this way one after another, and even the big house of the Yang family caught fire half a month later, and all of them were burned to ashes overnight, and hundreds of men, women and children of the Yang family were all buried in that fire."

Grandpa said this, I don't understand, since the Yang family is gone, why can there still be such a Yang family as us in Yangjiazhuang?

"Then how did our ancestors survive?" Daddy asked.

"It's a strange thing, and it was a kind of coincidence at the time. The youngest son of the third aunt of the Yang family, who has been weak and sick since he was a child, almost lost his life once when he was a child, but fortunately he was rescued by a Taoist priest and saved his life. The head of the Yang family doesn't like this child very much, he is not a son-in-law, and he is sick, and most of them feel that he can't support him, but the Taoist priest likes this child very much, and wants to accept this child as an apprentice, and he has to take it away, saying that he will follow him, and he can only return to Yangjiazhuang after twelve years. The head of the Yang family agreed at that time, and it was useless for the third aunt to cry, make trouble, and hang herself, so the Taoist priest really took the child away. Grandpa said this, and changed another bag of cigarettes.

Twelve years later, the child returned to Yangjiazhuang, and it was a coincidence that he went back the day after the Yangjiazhuang house caught fire, and just escaped the fire. Yangjiazhuang had no house, and the child was nearly 20 years old at this time, so with the help of the villagers, he rebuilt the house, settled in Yangjiazhuang, married and had children. This child's name is Yang Hong, and the Yang family has been passed down to this day! ”

I did see the name "Yang Hong" on the Yang family tree, and the old family tree has such a name at the top of the list.

"But, what's going on with that white cloth, is it really Mrs. Yang?" Dad asked the most critical question, after all, in the story told by Grandpa, it was indeed Mrs. Yang who turned into a white cloth and destroyed the entire Yang family.

"It's hard to say, when I saw that white cloth, I remembered the secret that my ancestors had been passing down, whether it was true or not, hundreds of years have passed, and there is no way to investigate. But since this kind of white cloth has appeared in Yangjiazhuang, it is definitely not a good sign. In fact, to help those villagers, isn't it helping our Yang family themselves? Grandpa asked rhetorically.

"Did Mrs. Yang build a tomb after she died?" Daddy asked the question suddenly.

"At that time, there was indeed no grave, the body was thrown in the bamboo forest, and there was a fool in the village who also took Mrs. Yang's body, Mrs. Yang's death was indeed very miserable, and it was indeed tragic to suffer such an insult after death. However, after Yang Hong returned to the village, he collected the decomposed corpse of Mrs. Yang and built a tomb in the bamboo forest. In addition to this, he built seven other tombs around it, and it is not known what was buried in it. ”

Grandpa said this, and the matter was linked, it seems that I went to the bamboo forest that day to call the soul of Zhu Heiwa, and it is really possible that I bumped into Mrs. Yang. But since my grandfather knew that Mrs. Yang's grave was there, why did he still agree to let me go there to shout the soul, the more I thought about it, the more I didn't understand. What's more, the soul of Zhu Heiwa was originally taken away by her grandfather, and it was even more unnecessary to call the soul and let me run to such a dangerous place.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, but how could grandpa harm me, what the hell was going on?
