Chapter 37: The Origin of the Water Ghost

Suddenly, a man ran out of the closet of the calming room. He squatted there, without raising his head, holding his head in his hands, and kept muttering, "Don't ...... Don't kill me! Don't ...... Kill me......"

Nanmen Heng looked strange, walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then the man jumped up and hurriedly ran behind the curtain.

Nanmen Heng said to Guo Yuan: "This person should be seriously frightened, let's communicate with him slowly." But when I looked at it, his head was white, like an old man...... That's right, ordinary adult men can go crazy when they see this, let alone an old man. Nanmen Heng then looked at the place where the man was hiding and said, "Hey, don't be afraid, we are human and will not hurt you." ”

The man stopped muttering, peeked out from behind the curtains, and stepped out after confirming that it was someone in front of him.

Nanmen Heng is not mistaken, this is almost an old man in his 60s, but this reaction just now surprised Nanmen Heng.

"Master...... Grandpa?!" Pingping next to him was surprised and surprised, and ran over.

"It's unbelievable that you're still alive. Ah, it's okay, it's okay. The old man said excitedly.

"This is my grandfather and the village chief here. He calmly introduced, then looked at his grandfather and asked, "Where are my parents?"

The village chief let out a long sigh, and immediately panicked.

"What's wrong?"

The village chief said embarrassedly: "Your parents are fine, they have already driven away, and it is estimated that they have arrived in the county seat now." I felt something was wrong for a long time, so I sent your parents away. As he spoke, the village chief gritted his teeth and showed a pained expression.

Nanmen Heng walked over, held the village chief, and roughly observed, and found that the village chief had a deep bite mark on his left calf.

"You sit down first, that's not going to work. Nanmen Heng said.

Guo Yuan, who was standing at the door, walked to the corridor and shouted to the first floor: "Come up, it's safe here." ”

The village chief looked at Nanmen Heng and said, "Who are you?"

Nanmen Heng touched his head and replied: "We came here to live for a few days, and we were going to go into the desert, but this incident happened. It's just that I'm not good. ”

"How?"

"I fell into the river. It's just ......."

"What was it?"

"I was pushed down by a lady. ”

"Auntie......" the village chief said silently.

"Oh, don't worry about that, I mainly want to seal these water ghosts back. I heard from another old man in the village that these things had been there many years ago, and then they were sealed by a person. But this old man is dead......"

The village chief didn't say anything, and only after everyone had come up did he speak again.

"I know where these things come from, do you want to hear them?"

The crowd nodded busily.

"Hey...... How do I say that? It all started when I was 10 years old. ”

When I was ten years old, I was still a hairy boy, and in the first year of the Cultural Revolution, our village was in turmoil. Our village has the idea and custom of worshiping the gods of heaven and the earth since ancient times, and a tribute event is held every year in July. No, there was an idea of "removing the four olds" in the Cultural Revolution, which affected the young people who worked in the village back then.

A few days before the event, the boys vigorously promoted the concept of "eliminating the four olds", and put a propaganda paper on the door of each house, and they also pasted these papers on the bulletin board in the village, as soon as they were torn off, they immediately pasted it again.

They couldn't stop this behavior, the village chief also persuaded them, and their family members also persuaded them, but these guys just didn't listen. Also frantically advertised every day. No, something happened in the end.

The tribute usually lasts for one day, and from around 7 a.m., the whole village goes to a temple in the mountains in an orderly manner to pray and give tribute. Although there is no one in this temple.

This lasted for almost 4 hours, and after the whole village returned, the second part began, the dinner, where the whole village had to drink a special sip of wine before eating.

The third link is very simple, that is, go to bed early, and every household must turn off the lights and go to bed before 7 o'clock.

When we went to the temple that morning, the things in the temple had been damaged, and the Buddha statue in front of the temple had fallen to the ground, and some of them had been knocked off a little. The plaques in the main hall and the main gate were smashed, some of which were still on them, and some of which were scattered to the ground in pieces. The incense burner in the courtyard of the temple was also pushed to the ground.

Everyone present at that time was stunned, and the village chief and several people next to him immediately knelt down and kowtowed more than 10 times. We also knelt down when we saw it.

When they returned, they went to fetch the wine and found that all the special wine in the wine room had been spilled on the floor. The boys were so screaming and screaming there at night that we couldn't sleep in the whole village.

The rules set by the ancestors will not be wrong, and one or two is no more than three, and the gods of heaven and earth see it in their eyes. Retribution came that night, and it was the first time I had seen something terrible.

They emerged from the river in droves and began to slaughter the nearest inhabitants of the river. When these guys saw this scene, they panicked and began to run while shouting, and the residents in the last few rows were the luckiest and fled directly from home.

I was also hiding in the closet, and I could clearly see the murder of my parents.

My mother hid behind my father, and my father had a knife in his hand, and my father cut at it without saying a word, but the knife was broken, and it was still intact, and when my father wondered, it swallowed my father's head in one bite...... Mother...... It bit out its mother's internal organs and held it in its mouth......

I remember these things very well. I escaped by hiding in a cupboard, but I didn't expect it to be ...... again now

Nanmen Heng also felt uncomfortable in his heart, and after listening to it, he felt an indescribable bitterness.

The village chief continued:

I don't know how long I was in the closet, anyway I was scared, afraid they hadn't left yet, and just like that, I spent the night in a daze.

I woke up when the first rays of sunlight came in the next day, and I cautiously pushed open the closet door and saw the stinking bodies of my parents on the floor, and I didn't cry.

I came out into the streets, and they were the same as they are now, littered with corpses, lifeless, lifeless. I can't stand the smells. I walked around the village alone and didn't notice it.

I was very confused, and at the age of 10, I had no idea what I was going to do, where to go, or how to do it. I just stood there alone, looking at the corpses around me.

But the strange thing is that there doesn't seem to be a single corpse on the street, all of them are from the village, and they seem to have disappeared out of thin air.

I didn't think much of it at the time, I just saw a thing slowly appear in front of me, but this one was already injured. It was excited to see me, and ran awkwardly and rushed towards me after a few awkward steps. I would still have run away, but I was still overtaken. Just when I thought I was going to die, the thing flew several meters on its own.
