My name is Chen Hang.

He is a businessman and lives in Shenzhen.

As the old saying goes: when this person memorizes words, he can choke to death by drinking cold water.

I could never have imagined that I would be involved in such a bizarre and unfortunate event.

Three days ago, I was talking about business with a few business partners in the hotel, and the group was full of food and drink, and it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I was a little drunk, so I didn't take a taxi, and I was going to walk back, sober and sober along the way.

From the hotel to my apartment, I had to cross a road, and not far from the road was a stone fence, and outside the fence was a 'big river'.

In our hometown, there is a big river, the river is seventy or eighty meters wide, and this kind of 'big river' in Shenzhen, in our place, is called a canal.

Passing by the canal, the alcohol began to rise, my head was a little muddy, and my whole body began to heat up, so I took off my suit, put it in my hand, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to use fresh air to dispel those dizziness.

Outcome...... Bah! It's all a strong exhaust! However, the bad air made me sober up a little, and I realized that there were many people gathered by the river, all old men and old ladies who had not gone to work and came out to wander around.

One of the hobbies of the Chinese is to make a scene, so many people are gathered together, what happens?

I didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so I twisted my suit and walked over to look inside, this was unbelievable, there was actually a half-old child who fell into the water, and the onlookers were anxious, some watched the excitement, and some called the police, but they didn't dive to save people.

If this happened in other rivers, someone would have gone down to be a hero to save people, but no one dared to go down to the onlookers here.

First, it is because the onlookers here are all old men and old ladies, who are trembling when they walk, let alone going down to the river to save people; These two are because the river's "fierce reputation is too strong!" ”

The predecessor of this river was called 'Huiyong River', why is it called Huiyong? Because it leads to the sea at the end, every time the sea rises, the undercurrent under the river will follow back, and the water will rise for a time, and it is said that the highest one will submerge the surrounding watchtowers.

In Shenzhen, most of them are foreigners, and there are very few local residents, and all of them have emigrated to Hong Kong. But I've been here for a long time, so I know some old stories about a strange thing that happened in this river.

Shenzhen has not yet reformed and opened up, and when Grandpa Deng has not yet drawn circles on the map, Huiyong is still a big river. The sand and mud at the bottom of the river are deposited, and the water is so powerful that many wild swimmers drown in the summer.

You may be asking, isn't Shenzhen just by the sea? Why not swim in the sea instead of in the river? That's because at that time, the river ran through the territory of Shenzhen, far from the sea, and it was about to be.

This was not unusual, but one summer, a man named Zhong Qian went down to the river to swim, and halfway through the swim, the whole person suddenly sank to the bottom of the water, as if drowning.

After about ten minutes, he floated up again, strangely not dead, but looked panicked, looked at no one around, and hurried home, as if he had done something wrong.

His daughter-in-law felt that something was wrong with her husband in the middle of the night, and she looked flustered, as if she was hiding something from him, so she asked reluctantly: "Okay, you, are you messing around outside behind my back, you say, if you don't say it today, I won't let you go to bed." ”

This person is usually very afraid of his daughter-in-law, as soon as the daughter-in-law said that he would not let him go to bed, he was scared to recruit everything, but this time he refused to say whether he was alive or dead, he said to his daughter-in-law: "You don't care, anyway, I am a good thing, but this thing will not work, and you will know later." After saying that, he went to bed, and no one knew what he had encountered at the bottom of the river.

But it didn't take long for Grandpa Deng to draw circles on the map. Shenzhen is about to be renovated, Zhong Qian took advantage of this limelight and contracted the construction locally, and became the first batch of nouveau riche in China within a few years!

It stands to reason that what is the first thing a poor person suddenly becomes an explosive household? Of course, it's to drive a famous car and live in a luxury house.

But this man didn't do anything, he found someone to blow up the river!

That's right, it's the bombing of the Huiyong River.

At that time, due to the reform and opening up, the city's topography has undergone great changes, the recurring riverbed has risen, the water level has become lower, and it is not difficult to blow up the river. ”

When the explosives were lowered, the water splashed everywhere, blowing up countless rotten copper bumps that could not be seen in shape.

After the bombing was done again, this bell did not seem to be satisfied, and ordered people to blow it up several more times, using a lot of explosives. The whole river was much wider, and he was satisfied, and after returning home, he told his daughter-in-law the truth.

It turned out that he was swimming at the bottom of the river and met a water ghost with a high path, and wanted to pull him on his back, and the water ghost looked like a big civet cat, and his whole body was black, like the color of brass after entering the water.

The tanuki said to him, "If you want me to spare you, you can do it, but the child you give birth to in the future will be thrown into the river to accompany me, and I will make you rich and rich in this life, and if you don't agree, I will want your life now." ”

After hearing this, in order to survive, he hurriedly responded, and the tanuki in the river saw that he agreed, and let him out of the water.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Shenzhen to be developed, and this Zhong Qian was also rich, especially the daughter-in-law's belly was also bigger, seeing that it was due recently, the more Zhong Qian thought about it, the more afraid he became, did he really want to throw his child into the river? That's my own flesh and blood! After thinking about it for a long time, Zhong Qian didn't come up with any other way, so he just didn't do anything, he decided to come hard, strike first, and kill this tanuki with explosives.

After telling the truth, he said: "It's okay now, we don't have to worry about anything, the water ghost should have been blown up by me, let's live a good life in the future." Her daughter-in-law was dumbfounded, and said, "That tanuki, is it the size of a human head, blackened all over, with brass marks, and eyes like two rubies?" ”

The rich merchant was shocked and said, "Daughter-in-law, you are a fairy, how do you know so clearly?" ”

His daughter-in-law pointed to the table behind the rich merchant, her face was pale, her lips trembled, and she said, "Because, where it ......" As soon as the rich merchant turned around, he found that the water ghost civet cat that had been found at the bottom of the river was squatting on the wine table wet at the moment, and the room was filled with the smell of fishy river water for a while.

Why did this story spread?

Because after the fight, the rich man went crazy, and the next day, people found the body of his daughter-in-law in his house, and the stomach was cut open, and the child inside was gone.

The police can only take it as crazy talk, which is not enough to collect evidence, thinking that the rich businessman is likely to have a psychotic attack and killed his daughter-in-law, but bizarrely, the child's body has never been found.

As soon as the story spread, the river began to become "famous". In addition, there are inexplicable dead people in this river every year, which makes everyone think that this river is a "fierce" river. The locals in Shenzhen are very superstitious, thinking that there are water ghosts in this river, let alone going into the water, and they feel unlucky to get into the water of this river.

I don't believe this at all, look at the people around me, most of them are old neighbors who have lived here for more than ten years, and their expressions reveal struggle and hesitation, and when they are finished, it is estimated that the children will drown.

The child didn't know if his feet were entangled in the weeds, and he kept fluttering, but he couldn't swim up, and I didn't follow the excitement, so I took off my shirt and pants, and jumped down with a pair of pants, and the onlookers screamed in shock.

My swimming skills, that's not blowing, it's one of the best in our hometown, ten meters deep river, I can drill down and bring out a handful of sand. Without further ado, I put my arms around the boy from behind and led him to the shore, but strangely enough, he seemed to be entangled in something like a weed, and he couldn't hold it. I tried to step down with my foot, trying to step on the aquatic weed, but this time I stepped on a slippery and stiff thing.

The thing was tugging at the child's foot, like a human hand.

I had a clever idea in my head, and two words came to my mind: water ghost.

Damn, that legend can't be true, right?

That thing was stepped on by me, and it grabbed my foot and neck, although I didn't see it this time, but I felt it clearly, it was a human hand! It was so strong that it dragged me down, and I immediately choked on the water, and the stinky river water poured straight into my nose.

As the so-called wine strengthens people's courage, I was provoked at this time, regardless of whether it was a human or a ghost, a stabbing down, reaching out to hit the hand that was dragging my ankle, the thing seemed to be a little afraid, and suddenly retracted the hand.

I hurriedly dragged the child ashore, and the people next to me followed the first aid, but I felt that the soles of my feet, stepping on the position of the human hand before, exuded a particularly cold atmosphere, just like in winter, I was wrapped in warmth, but I forgot to wear shoes and socks.

The older generation said that if a person accidentally drowns in water, it is easy to become a water ghost and get stuck in place.

The water ghost has a hard time, the rain is like a thousand knives, the surge is like a hammer, and the scorching sun is like a cannon branding, so no matter how kind a person was in life, he became a water ghost, and he wanted to be reborn as soon as possible to find a replacement for the dead ghost.

I looked out over the river, and the water was calm, maybe that thing had dived into the depths? Or maybe it was my delusion?

At this time, I suddenly found that the string of peach wood evil beads that I had carried in my right hand for more than ten years, for some reason, one of them actually cracked. Did it just help me get in the way?

Could it be that the legend of this recurring river is true?
