"That's it!?" I asked busily.

But after I asked this... I felt like I was asking a superfluous question.

The result is naturally self-evident, the woman jumped into the water and drowned ... This will leave the corpse in the water and turn into a water ghost.

But I never thought that this thing was more tortuous than I imagined.

The old village chief still thinks about it, and he can't help but feel palpitations......

He lowered her voice and said, "The woman surnamed Chen, seeing the villagers watching coldly, time passed minute by minute, and it was ten minutes since the child drowned. Presumably, the children are already dead, so the woman is grief-stricken...... Under the anger, the woman's mind also became almost crazy, and then the woman who lost her mind roared madly and said miserably that if her daughter died, she would curse the children of Sujia Village for generations. With that, he jumped into the pond and left a curse behind him."

"And then?" I hurriedly asked, "Later, was the curse fulfilled?"

"It was fulfilled," said the village chief, "and for some time afterward, everyone remembered that the pond had died... And the bodies were not recovered, and everyone was so worried that they didn't dare to approach the pond."

"No one salvage?" I asked, stunned.

"Yes," said the village chief, "the villager, the woman's husband... Out of resentment, the villagers were not allowed to salvage the bodies. Moreover, at that time, Sujia Village was located in a remote area, and the communication more than 30 years ago was far less developed than it is now, so no one in the village called the police.

"And then?" I asked.

"Later," said the village chief, "three or five years have passed, and many people have forgotten the past... Taking advantage of the hot weather, there were many people who went into the pond to take a bath, but one after another, some people saw that the woman surnamed Chen actually soaked her body in water and did not decay, turned into a water ghost, caused trouble underwater, and dragged the child into the water...... For a while, the curse caused panic again."

"Then for more than 30 years," I tried to ask, "Sujia Village, I haven't looked for anyone, have you come to see it?"

"Yes," said the village chief, "at that time, because of the curse, the people were panicking, and they went to the woman's husband... His husband was a carpenter, and he read the Book of Luban in his early years, so he knew some yin and yang."

"The Book of Luban!?" I was stunned and couldn't help but mutter.

"Yes, "The Book of Luban"...", the village chief sighed and sighed, "Maybe it was because of reading the Book of Luban that the man had a bad retribution and ended up like this."

The village chief then said that after three or five years, the resentment in the woman's husband was gone.

Under the joint exhortation of the villagers, let the man think of the well-being of Sujia Village... That's when the man was moved.

He collected the soul of the drowning girl in the pond.

In the "Book of Luban", what puppet secret technique, a small wooden figure was cultivated.

The village chief remembered it very clearly, and made a special gesture: "Probably a small wooden figure the size of an adult's palm, thrown into the pond to be the companion of a woman, and warned her not to do evil...... Later, the woman's husband also spent all his savings in the past three or five years, so he thought about going out to work, but maybe he sank the young child and provoked God to send retribution, or it may be that he read the "Book of Luban" and caused trouble, not long after the man went out, he died while working!"

"Dead!?" I was stunned!

"Dead," the village chief nodded.

"Then," I asked, "hasn't there been peace in the pond since then?"

"It's been quiet for more than 20 years," said the village chief, "and it's only in the last month that there has been a sudden commotion."

As an eyewitness to the whole incident back then, the old village chief bluntly said: "Now, the trouble is even more evil than it was at the beginning... In the middle of the night, a woman's voice came from the edge of the pond, calling out the name of her child."

"Call him by the child's name?" I was stunned!

"yes," Rao remembered the horrific scene of the ghost drinking in the pond in the dead of night... So the old village chief couldn't help but tremble and stretched out his hand and lifted the wine to himself

cup, took a big sip.

But this thing, in my opinion, only feels strange!

Since both the child and the woman are drowning in the pond, why do women still come out to look for the child?

There must be a reason for things to go wrong, people don't get together for no reason, and ghosts don't come without complaints!

I couldn't help but ask, "Did she make a fuss like this before?"

"It's strange to say," the old village chief himself was surprised, "I really haven't done this before... It was only a month ago that the female corpse in the pond began to call her daughter's name!"

So where did her daughter go!?

I thought about it... If that man used the puppet secret technique to put the soul of the drowning child into the puppet puppet.

That kid should still be in the pond, unless......

In her thoughts, Su Xue quietly asked, "Mr. Jiang, why does that female ghost harm people underwater?"

"Heh," I said indifferently, "Actually, the water ghost is a kind of ghost in the water in folk legends, which refers to the ghost left behind by a person who accidentally dies in the water, or commits suicide in the rivers, lakes and seas, and cannot be reincarnated to harm people. Ghosts come to harm people and pull the living into the water to drown, to be his substitute ghost, and then they can be reincarnated, also known as water monkeys, for thousands of years, water ghosts have been reincarnated by this method carefree, to get rid of the pain from hell, although they are born in the water, but they are extremely afraid of fire, and ......."

"Water monkeys are infinitely powerful in the water, weak limbs on the shore, like to use crying and other ways to lead people into the water, take the opportunity to catch the water, folk rumors, when a person drowns in the water, if you can't find a substitute, then you can't be reincarnated, you can only turn into a water ghost in your life, endure loneliness and desolation."

Speaking of this, the village chief hurriedly emphasized, "The one in our pond is not an ordinary water ghost... Mr. Jiang, don't be careless!"

"Yes," the villager said, "If this woman was looking for a stand-in, more than 20 years later, there have been not ten people in the village who have died of drowning, but seven or eight... If you find a stand-in, it's enough, can you still stay and continue to harm people?"

"Isn't it?" The village chief took the conversation back and deliberately emphasized: "The most evil thing is that after so many years, that corpse is actually soaked in water without decay or decay, just like a bone that does not turn into bones!"

That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have meddled in this...

I said frankly, "What's in the water isn't a water ghost. Her corpse does not rot because of resentment, and the reason why she frequently causes disasters is because of curses......
