There is a large reservoir in Longmiao Village, the water in the reservoir is very cool, and it is rich in fish, shrimp and all kinds of mussels.

Every summer, the half-grown children in the village will go to the reservoir in droves, and the farmers love to plunge into the water to cool off when they return from farming, and they are likely to touch some eyeless fish and shrimp after bathing.

The mussels in the reservoir of Longmiao Village are particularly easy to catch, and many primary school students go straight to the reservoir after school, and if they are lucky, they will pick up a few big fat mussels and go home.

Today is a cloudy day, there are very few people who come to the reservoir, and Dad likes to come to the reservoir to fish in this sultry weather, and there is always an unexpected harvest every time.

My eighth sister and I pushed Xiaoyi to walk around the reservoir at four o'clock in the afternoon, just saw my father fishing, and four or five live carp had been caught in the bucket next to me.

"Well, I don't know how many more fish I can catch here!" said Dad.

The eldest sister took Lu Youcai and Sister Xia back to Jiyang, and the day before yesterday wrote that Ma Jiefang, the former mayor of Jiyang, who had taken care of the Ye family, overturned, and his nephew, who was a teacher in Yiwu a few years ago, was beaten into a rightist, and when he searched his house, he was found to have secretly communicated with the Kuomintang spies.

The eldest sister changed her opposition a few days ago, calmly observed the current situation, and it seems that my proposal may be reasonable, so she is also consciously narrowing the scope of Ye's enterprise, and gradually withdrawing from the Jiyang business community in a way that anyone with a discerning eye can see.

The industries ceded by the Ye family were quickly eaten by Zhao Taozhu, the son of Zhao Genta, the enemy of the Ye family, and the Yan Zhao industry of the Zhao family dominated the business world of Jiyang and even Shaoxing in less than half a month.

After Lu Youcai knew the identity of Su Xia's father, he respected the old man even more, in fact, he was afraid that his father-in-law would be uncomfortable and slaughtered him, but what should he do?

Looking at my gray-haired father, I sighed, I just want to send my family out of the mainland as soon as possible and go abroad for a few years.

Today in Jinping County has been busy all day, the big bastard has now become my number one horse, knowing that I have recently been looking for medical treatment for Xiaoyi's illness, so he temporarily took my place, although he touched the rights I should exercise, but I didn't blame him, after all, compared to Xiaoyi, this cult and industry is worthless to me.

I studied all the charms I knew, but it had no effect on Xiao Yi's illness at all, because Xiao Yi was not evil, not a god, and for this kind of physical illness, Taoist spirit talismans were like waste paper.

In the past ten days, I took Xiaoyi to Dalian, Shenyang and even Beijing's big hospitals, but I couldn't find out the cause, let alone what the disease was.

I stood on the dam with a sad face, Xiaoyi couldn't speak, couldn't move, looked at me running around tired, with tears in her eyes but couldn't speak, she could only look at me with a "whin".

I stroked her hair and whispered to her in her ear, "Xiaoyi, I like you, I want to be with you, although Master said that I am a lonely person, but I really want to be with you." ”

After she heard this, her originally reddened eyes became even more moist, and I hugged her in a wheelchair tightly, and she vaguely seemed to have a lot of effort in my ear to make a sound: "Goose Er, you ......"

The eighth sister, Wan Xiaoyu, walked to her father's wooden bucket where the fish was held, looked at the fishing line on the fishing rod that was slightly shaking, and couldn't help shouting excitedly to her father: "Seventh brother Dad!

Dad immediately stood up when he heard this, snuffed out the cigarette butt and walked quickly to the shore to put away the fishing rod to see, it was empty, Dad likes to tease the eighth sister, pretended to be angry and said to the eighth sister: "Xiaoyu, look at it, a good fish scared you away, you say, how to compensate?"

The eighth sister has always been sharp and quick-witted, but she frowned and said with disgust: "Cut, it's just a fish, it's a big deal to pay you one!"

Dad didn't expect the eighth sister to jump directly into the reservoir to catch fish after speaking, there are a lot of fish in the reservoir, in groups, you can see fresh big carp through the clear water surface on the shore.

It seems that there is really a fish that is favored by the eighth sister, and I saw that she followed a flexible fish from the shallow water area to the deep water area, and it didn't take much effort to get farther and farther away from us.

"Fulu, why is Xiaoyu like a tomboy?" Dad asked me.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to my father: "In the past, she was in the Taoist temple, and the seven of our brothers had to revolve around her all day and night, if she started playing, it didn't matter if she climbed the wall to steal dates or went up the tree to dig out the bird's nest, she wouldn't stop until she was tired and had no strength, if anyone stopped her, she was sure to cry, and the master couldn't do anything about him, Dad, you don't know, she was scary when she cried, it was useless to coax, if you don't believe it, you can ask Xiaoyi, do you say yes, Xiaoyi?." ”

I habitually turned around and wanted Xiaoyi to help me, only to suddenly remember that Xiaoyi can't answer me now, she still looked at me silently with tears, I took advantage of my father to look at the eighth sister in the distance, secretly kissed Xiaoyi, she blushed shyly, looked at me coquettishly, and her eyes were full of happiness.

"Hey, this girl is really good, she swam so far and finally didn't run in vain!" I followed my father's admiring gaze, only to see the eighth sister holding a big fish in her hand and waving at us, too far away I don't know what her expression is, anyway, with her temperament, nine times out of ten she is showing off her results.

I shouted into the distance: "Eighth sister, you are so amazing! Swim back quickly! Aunt Lu will make kidney bean stuffed meat buns today! If it is a little later, there will be no more!"

In the past, when I was in the Taoist temple, I had to grab it desperately every time I ate porridge, because no one could stand it if I ate a meal in two days, at that time, except for the sixth brother, our brothers and sisters all had a look of vegetables, and their eyes lit up when they saw onions, ginger and garlic.

Although the eighth sister stayed in the Taoist temple for the shortest time, and she always had money to go out to eat and drink, in the two or three years of the Taoist temple, she also developed the habit of not moving when she saw food, and she had to destroy it even if she heard that there was food.

Sure enough, the eighth sister heard my shout and swam back happily, but when she was about to reach the shallow water, she suddenly stopped swimming, and sank down at once, and after about two seconds, I saw her fluttering vigorously with her little hands open, and her little head was also floating and sinking on the water, as if something was dragging her in the water!

Dad saw this scene first, and jumped into the water without saying a word and ran towards the eighth sister, and after I fixed Xiaoyi's wheelchair, I immediately entered the water, the water was not knee-deep, and the depth of the water where the eighth sister drowned was just over the waist.

The eighth sister fluttered hard, the fish in her hand was long gone, my father and I were getting closer and closer to her, she had already rolled her eyes, I hurriedly pulled her out of the water, she was already unstable, and she was unconscious, I had to carry her to the shore and give her the rescue measures that appeared in the book.

"Cough, cough", the eighth sister choked out a few mouthfuls of water, coughed hard several times, and finally eased up.

Because of the lack of oxygen just now, the eighth sister's eyes were already blood-red and full of bloodshots, and I saw her panting and saying, "Seventh brother, seventh brother, I had a cramp in my foot just now, as if someone was dragging me underneath!"

I said, "What is Brother Seven, it's okay to call Uncle Ye, just call those strange names!"

The eighth sister was obviously anxious, and yelled at me: "The point is not to call him! Seventh brother, the point is that your best-looking junior sister seems to have met a water ghost!"

I laughed and quipped, "Which water ghost dares to drag you without opening his eyes?"

Seeing that I didn't believe it, the eighth sister seemed to want to find some evidence, so she got up and was about to go into the water again, so I hurriedly stopped her: "What are you doing again?

"No, Brother Seven, the fish I caught just now must have seen me dragged by the water ghost, and if it doesn't work, I'll catch the water ghost to prove that I'm not lying!"

I looked at this stupid sister and wanted to laugh angrily, pointed to the area where she was drowning just now, and said, "Silly sister, do you know how shallow the water was just now?

Hearing my slightly angry reprimand, the eighth sister lowered her head and was about to cry, I saw this, a burst of self-blame in my heart, I shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have trained this crybaby to cry, as soon as the eighth sister cried, I didn't know what to do and didn't know how to make her stop the deafening crying, in a trance, the long-lost feeling in the Taoist temple came back.

When my father saw that the eighth sister was crying, he also messed up, and glared at me vigorously, as if to say: You bastard, why did you make the little girl cry, and she cried back?

I scolded myself a few words in my heart, begging for mercy as if trying to coax the eighth sister, but when I lowered my head, I saw that the eighth sister's right ankle was a piece of black green, I squatted down to observe carefully, the eighth sister's crying snot and tears fell on my head, seeing that I was looking at her feet, and also sobbing to see what I was looking at.

It was a handprint pinched out by five fingers, and the eighth sister's ankle was pinched black, and the handprint was also clear and discernible, which showed how hard it was.

When the eighth sister drowned, I saw clearly with my father on the shore, and she was the only one in the position of the eighth sister at that time, and even if there were people, they would not hold their breath in the water for so long, I was stunned, and I couldn't figure it out, could it be that the eighth sister was drowned by a water ghost?
