Chapter 17 People laugh at it and laugh like a spirit

Several elders who were over fifty years old couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they heard Grandpa Xiao's words.

Officer Li hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what are you talking about as a "red and green devil"? Is it the fish I just caught?

Grandpa Xiao nodded and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about the old things of decades ago. His vicissitudes of life, like the skin of an old tree, were rough and dull.

Four or five seconds later, he opened his dim eyes violently, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably. Seeing this, the two guys hurriedly held him up.

Grandpa Xiao bent his back and stood up slowly, two lines of sour old tears hanging on his cheeks.

Everyone couldn't bear to let him think about it again, and they led the topic elsewhere one after another.

The corners of Grandpa Xiao's lips kept squirming, he opened his mouth with difficulty, and spoke:

This kind of manta fish named "Red and Green Devil" has turned to ashes, and I recognize it.

Back then, my wife and children were buried in the mouths of these devils.

Fifty years ago, a monster appeared in the reservoir in the south, but all living creatures that fell into the water would eventually be devoured into white bones.

One summer, my daughter and two sons went to herd sheep by the reservoir. A young lamb accidentally fell into the reservoir because of curiosity, and the three children swam into the water one after another because of their desire to save the sheep.

However, it didn't take long for the screams of the three children to be heard. By the time the child arrived, there were already three in the reservoir......

The child couldn't think about it, so she pulled a freshly ground dung fork from her home and wanted to jump into the reservoir and die with those devils. However, the crazy monsters actually bit off all the hard iron. In the reservoir, there is another white bone.

It was the Cultural Revolution, and I was locked up in a cowshed, and by the time I got home, there were four more graves of my relatives in the field.

I've studied this strange fish, known as the "Red and Green Devils", which are bloodthirsty and meatless. However, their favorite food is the eyes of living creatures, and among them, their own golden fish eyes are the favorite.

They devour their prey very quickly, but when they devour their eyes, they are as slow as we are drinking tea, pecking in small bites.

I have deduced that devouring the eyes can give them some power, and the manifestation of power is to make them become human, with brain power and emotion.

What's even more bizarre is that there seems to be an unwritten agreement between them that they can't cheat each other. Only after the other party dies naturally can they devour its corpse.

Soon after, there was a huge reservoir, and apart from these "red and green devils", there was no trace of any living creatures.

To this end, the government has spent a lot of effort and invited a large number of fishing experts to use the characteristic barbed wire to hunt down the "red and green devils" that fill the reservoir.

In those days, it was not allowed to appear anything related to "bull ghosts, snakes, and gods", so the legend of the "red and green devils" could only be heard in the mouths of the older generation.

I lied to my juniors that I was a desert escapee. Actually, I don't want to talk about that unbearable heartache again.

After Grandpa Xiao finished speaking, he kept shaking his head, and tears rolled down again.

Uncle Mazi's son asked, "Grandpa Xiao, are you talking about piranhas?"

Grandpa Lin still closed his eyes, frowned, and said in a cold voice: Do you look at the "red and green devil" on the ground, the color and the piranha statue? One more point, hahahaha.

When everyone heard Grandpa Xiao suddenly laugh, their hearts were furious, and they didn't know what he wanted.

At this time, there was a sinister laughter in the pool of blood.

That kind of laughter is somewhat similar to the voice of a person, and the hearts of those who listen to it are cold.

The dying "Red and Green Devil" on the ground also let out a weak sly laugh after hearing bursts of dark laughter coming from the pool of blood.

Grandpa Xiao opened his eyes, stared at the "red and green devils" on the ground with resentment, and said: These "red and green devils" are people who laugh at them and laugh at them. No matter how good Xiao Fei's water is, when he is in the water, he will become an inescapable prey in their mouths. And why did they only bite Xiaofei slightly? Because it was a warning to him not to come near. In the water, there must be a favorite of the "red and green devils", that is, the eyes of animals or people.

"Ah, Hei Wang's head is coming." In the crowd, a man close to the dam shouted.

Everyone looked back, and in the pool of blood, a miserable and dim black dog face was slowly drifting towards the dam with the help of the weak wind.

A few bold men stretched out their sticks to retrieve the bloody skull with the dog's face.

Grandpa Xiao shouted violently: Be careful, don't go near the dam.

Several people thought that Grandpa Xiao's words were a kind reminder not to fall into the water, and immediately replied: It's okay, Grandpa Xiao.

However, at the moment when the bloody skull was about to be fished up, four or five blood-red "red and green devils" opened their bloody mouths full of sharp teeth, and quickly pounced on the arms of several people like flying snakes.

There were a few "hiss" sounds, and the arms of several young men who salvaged the bloody skulls were immediately wiped with several blood marks the size of cigarettes.

Then, before falling into the pool of blood, several hurtful "red and green devils" let out a ghostly baby-like sneer.

Because of the short period of time, fortunately, several people only suffered minor skin injuries.

In the electric light, the scene of the "Red and Green Devil" flying and hurting people, although everyone didn't look very carefully, the blood marks left on the arms of a few young men were enough to make everyone shudder.

At this moment, the sky seemed to change into a gray coat. Although the sun is burning itself selflessly and uncomplainingly, the sunlight that shines through the dark curtain in the sky becomes dim and dim.

Everything in the world seems to have lost its vivid color and vitality.

When the bloody skull was fished up, some people quickly avoided it in fear, and some people stopped and watched curiously. And the bold and curious young men followed a few police officers to check it out.

I'm among them, too. It's just that I'm hiding behind everyone.

"Sainan." When Haohao saw the back of the bloody skull, he couldn't help crying and shouting.

The back of Bloodskull's head was covered with jet-black hair, and in the middle of the hair, a light green hairpin was pinned.

Presumably, Haohao concluded that the dead person was his wife Sai Nan based on this black hair and this hairpin.

The bloody skull's face was densely covered with a black dog face. However, whether it is a human face or a dog face, there is nothing in the eye socket of the bloody skull.

At the bottom of the bloody skull, at the broken part of the neck, two white silk threads ten centimeters long were tied, and there were dripping blood stains and wisps of flesh foam on the white silk threads. Each thread had been tied in a dead knot, and it must have been tied to something.

Grandpa Xiao, who was standing behind everyone, sighed and said sadly: It's human eyes.

Haohao couldn't control it anymore, and wanted to step forward to hug the bloody skull and cry heartbreakingly.

Several police officers hurriedly protected the bloody skull, and five strong guys, two with arms, two with legs, and one with their waists, stopped Haohao.

After a long day's effort, everyone persuaded Haohao to sit down in the woods a little far from the river dam.

But as soon as the buttocks of several people hit the ground, they heard someone shouting by the dam: Quick, come quickly, a pig face and a dog face floated.
