In the notes, in the year 1929, there were many, many things happening in Shanhe Village, and I counted them, and there were 73 supernatural events that occurred in this year alone, and 17 incidents that happened in the Black Duck River.

There is a river near Shanhe Village, which the villagers call the Black Duck River, but it is actually a small tributary of the Songhua River.

After the liberation, the Black Duck River dried up without warning, and later the riverbed was cleared by the villagers to grow crops, so the memory of this river is a blank in the younger generation of Shanhe Village, and only a few old people still remember that the Black Duck River once existed.

But now, the river is still there.

Seventeen supernatural events on the Black Duck River in 1929 made the river a nightmare for the villagers of Shanhe Village, and people easily stopped stepping within the confines of the river.

So for now, I'm going to focus on this Black Duck River.

Event 1:

On February 24, 1929, this day was the Lantern Festival, the weather was still very cold, the Black Duck River was still thick with ice, and the villager Xiao Changqing told his family that he was going to fish after breakfast.

His family persuaded him, saying what kind of fish are you catching during this big holiday, and besides, the river is still frozen.

Xiao Changqing didn't listen, he had to go, the family couldn't stop him, so he went, and when he left, his daughter-in-law said that he would wait for him to eat at night and come back early. Xiao Changqing said inexplicably, I may not have time to come back for dinner, and Wan Junbo will send me back then.

The daughter-in-law asked Wan Junbo who he was, because she also knew Xiao Changqing's acquaintances and friends, and she had never heard the name surnamed Wan. But Xiao Changqing didn't reply to her, packed up his things and left.

After Xiao Changqing left with a fishing rod on his back, his daughter-in-law found out that he had forgotten to bring an iron pickaxe.

Because every time Xiao Changqing fished in winter, he took an iron pickaxe to smash a hole in the ice, and then sat next to the hole and fished.

The daughter-in-law thought that he had forgotten to bring the pickaxe, and he would definitely return to get it later, but Xiao Changqing did not come back.

Soon, the whole day passed, Xiao Changqing never came back, until the evening, the sky began to float snowflakes, and some rich people also hung up the lanterns, as the so-called "snow lights on the fifteenth day of the first month", lanterns, snow, the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival came out at once.

By the time Xiao Changqing's wife had already cooked the Lantern Festival, and Xiao Changqing hadn't come back yet, the family was a little anxious, Xiao Changqing was already in his fifties, and his daughter-in-law, son, daughter-in-law, and daughter all began to worry about whether he would accidentally fall into it when he smashed the ice, and whether there would be an accident, so they went out to find it together.

The family took a lantern and found the Black Duck River, at this time it was already dark, snowing, and there was no moon, so it was pitch black all around, and the range that a small lantern could illuminate was very small.

Fortunately, the river is not too wide, and there is a thick layer of snow on it, and it will not slip when you walk up, so the family will help each other on the river in an "S" shaped route while walking and shouting, and after walking for about an hour, you will see that not far ahead, there seems to be something on the river.

The Xiao family hurriedly walked over to take a look, it was the small stool, bucket, and Xiao Changqing's cotton clothes that Xiao Changqing took away from home.

The fishing rod was gone, and Xiao Changqing was nowhere to be found.

There is a circular ice cave on the ice that has been smashed open, and there are many blood stains near the ice cave.

The Xiao family was shocked, and immediately realized that Xiao Changqing might have fallen into the ice cave, and the evil was less auspicious, so the family stayed crying on the river until midnight, and it was really unthinkable, so they had to come back.

The next day, I searched for Li Zheng again, took someone to look for it, and followed the direction of the slow flow of the river, clearing the snow on the ice, trying to see the situation under the ice from above. I was busy like this for three or four days, but I still didn't get anything.

Xiao Changqing fell into the ice cave, and he couldn't even recover the corpse, and the family was worried all day long.

Xiao Changqing's wife suddenly thought that Xiao Changqing didn't take an iron pick when he left, so how did the ice cave be smashed open? And looking at the traces on the ice cave, it was indeed smashed with a tool such as an iron pickaxe, not with a stone.

In addition, when Xiao Changqing left, he said that he was afraid that he would not be able to catch dinner, and Wan Junbo would send him back then, who is this Wan Junbo?

Thinking of the blood stains on the ice again, Xiao Changqing's daughter-in-law felt that Xiao Changqing's disappearance was absolutely abnormal, and she must have been killed.

The Xiao family lived a gloomy and bleak life for more than a month.

A month later, the river had completely thawed and thawed, and the Xiao family asked someone to help salvage it a few times, but the body still hadn't been recovered, so they were ready to give up.

After another month, a steamer was traveling on the river, and somehow it went in the wrong direction, and mistakenly broke into the black duck river, and a crew member happened to be standing on the deck looking into the river, and saw a man fluttering in the river, as if he had fallen into the water, so he hurriedly shouted for help.

The captain also drove the boat over, but to the chill down the spine of everyone on board, when they pulled the man out of the river, they found that he was not moving, and when they continued to pull up, they found that it was a dead body without a head.

The corpse still had a piece of fishing line wrapped around the wrist of the fishing rod, and when the fishing line was pulled, it was found that the other side was particularly heavy, and when it was fished up, there was a human head hanging from the other end of the fishing line, and the hook was deeply sunk into the mouth of the human head.

The people in the boat were all surprised, and they didn't know what to do, but when they saw that there seemed to be people by the river in front of them, they drove the boat over, wanting to ask if anyone had been drowning in the village recently. When they got closer, they found that it was an old woman, and the old woman also found the headless corpse hanging on the boat, recognized the clothes, and immediately began to cry.

It turned out that this was Xiao Changqing's daughter-in-law, because Xiao Changqing had never been found, and Xiao Changqing's disappearance was very suspicious, and she had nothing to do, so she was depressed in her heart, so she came to this riverside every day. Unexpectedly, he encountered this steamer and sent back Xiao Changqing's body.

The people on the ship explained the whole story to Xiao Changqing's daughter-in-law, and Xiao Changqing's daughter-in-law kept thanking her, and learned that the captain's name was Wan Junbo. Xiao Changqing's daughter-in-law was shocked, so she said that Xiao Changqing went out fishing on the day of the Lantern Festival, and said that Wan Junbo would send him back before leaving.

But Wan Junbo is the captain of this ship, he has not left the ship for many years to make a living, he was still in Shanghai during the Lantern Festival, and he never knew Xiao Changqing, and the crew of the ship can testify to himself.

But then again, today Wan Junbo felt particularly weird, he obviously adjusted the direction and was about to continue north along the Songhua River, why did he enter the Black Duck River by mistake? He had a lot of experience sailing, and he couldn't have made such a low-level mistake, but he made it today.

How Xiao Changqing died, and how he knew that a captain named Wan Junbo would salvage his body and send it back, these are unknown, and it has been a mystery until now.

Event two

On April 3, 1929, it was still the Black Duck River, on the river at midnight, a small fishing boat was spinning in the middle of the river, and it could be clearly seen in the moonlight, with a pair of pale little hands on each side of the boat, and then, slowly, two pale little faces also came out of the water, looking at the people on the fishing boat.

The man on the fishing boat is named Li Yinhe, who is in his fifties, an experienced fisherman in Shanhe Village, and he has a fishing boat, and he will get up on time at three o'clock in the morning every day to go to the Black Duck River to cast his nets.

Li Yinhe's family has been fishing for generations, and when he came to him, he never married, had no wife and no children, and lived alone. Every day, he goes out early and returns late, casting nets and fishing, and spends most of his time on fishing boats.

Li Yinhe's chickens would crow at three o'clock in the morning every day, and when he heard the chickens crow, he got up and went to the river with his fishing nets to cast them.

When he arrived at the river, Li Yinhe first pushed the boat into the water and rowed towards the center of the river, the river was sparkling and unusually calm, and only the sound of the oars shaking the splash was heard.

Li Yinhe arrived at the center of the river, stopped the boat and began to sort out the fishing nets, suddenly the hull of the boat shook, and then leaned to one side suddenly, he looked to the other side of the hull, by the moonlight, he saw two pale little faces on the side of the boat leaning into the boat, two pairs of equally pale little hands tightly holding the side of the boat.

It looked like two children of about three or five years old, but although the two dolls looked small, they had a lot of strength, and the boat was spinning in the middle of the river, and it was about to capsize.

"Grandpa, do it, do it."

A childish voice suddenly sounded from the river, and it was especially permeating to listen to in the silence of the night.

"Hurry up Grandpa!"

A smaller child's voice.

"Don't move, there's a clip, there's a clip!"

An old voice replied.

"Ahh

Li Yinhe screamed in fright, sat on the board of the boat, and knocked over a basket containing fish at the same time.

With a "dang long", a pair of scissors rolled out of the fish basket, shining in the moonlight.

"Oops, there's a clamp!"

A child shouted, and there was a splash, and the two little pale faces on the side of the boat disappeared, and there was a dead silence around them.

Li Yinhe came back to his senses, grabbed the scissors and held them in his arms, and it took a long time to come to his senses, grab the oars and quickly row to the shore. After going ashore, he stumbled all the way and crawled back on the ground, running all the way, and there was a "giggling" laughter from behind, which seemed to be a child.

Li Yinhe was very scared, and when he returned to the village, it quickly spread, and everyone said that they had heard from the old people that there were one old, two young and three water ghosts in the Black Duck River, and many people had seen it.

After Li Yinhe inquired a few years old, he learned that at the time of the Qing government, an old man and his two little grandsons who had drowned in the Black Duck River seemed to be from an official family, and they came out to flee after getting into a lawsuit, and the family ran out of the old and the young, and the others were beheaded.

The old man rowed a small raft with two little grandsons in Jiangxin, and the officers and soldiers chased along the shore along the shore, and suddenly the boat capsized, and the three of them fell into the water together.

Li Yinhe felt a chill in his back when he heard this, neither his grandfather nor his father had said anything about it, and after thinking about it, he tied the scissors with a strip of red cloth to the waistband of his trousers.

There are also Liu Xiaolong and his family who rely on fishing to make a living in Shanhe Village, and Li Yinhe was a little scared after encountering this, so he went to discuss with Liu Xiaolong and his family, and went out with them to the Black Duck River the next day.

As soon as the rooster crowed the next day, Li Yinhe got up again and cleaned it up, and waited for a long time without seeing Liu Xiaolong's two people calling him, so he went to the window of Liu Xiaolong's house and called for a long time, and there was no movement inside.

Li Yinhe waited anxiously, thinking that they were getting up quickly, or he would go first, anyway, he walked slowly, and when he reached the river, he sat and waited for them slowly.

Li Yinhe slowly walked to the riverside, and sat by the river for a while, Liu Xiaolong and his family still didn't come, and then looked at the river, under the moonlight, the heart of the river was as smooth as a mirror, with sparkling waves, and the atmosphere was quiet, Li Yinhe suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of, and stood up and pushed the boat to the river.

When Li Yinhe's boat rowed to the center of the river, two small heads were exposed in the water.

This time they didn't speak, they just grabbed the side of the boat and shook Li Yinhe's small fishing boat desperately.

Li Yinhe stood on the fishing boat and swayed violently, the scissors on his waist dangling and dangling......

Suddenly, there was a "grunt", the scissors fell off the waistband of their trousers and fell into the water, and the boat capsized in an instant.

Li Yinhe didn't even show his head after falling into the water, only a few bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, and then he regained his calm.

So who saw all these things that happened? In fact, at that time, there was a child hidden in the grass by the river, and Li Yinhe's chicken crow was also made by him, and he went to Li Yinhe's chicken nest to learn chicken crow at one o'clock in the middle of the night, so Li Yinhe's rooster crowed.

This child is Li Yinhe's family next door - Pei Xiaopei.

Pei Xiaopei was injured by the Black Duck River three years ago, and lay in bed for more than a year, as if he was dead, and then woke up, but the family said that the child was like a different person.

Besides, if Li Yinhe had an accident, the first thing to find out was of course Liu Xiaolong's son.

The two remembered that Li Yinhe was going to go with them, so they got up at three o'clock and went to call Li Yinhe after cleaning up, but they found that he had already left, and they felt strange. When they arrived at the riverside, Liu Xiaolong and his wife found Li Yinhe's boat in the river that had not completely sunk, and guessed that Li Yinhe had not climbed up after capsizing and falling into the water.

Li Zheng organized the corpse to be retrieved, and everyone went to help, and when the corpse was fished out, Liu Xiaolong and his family accidentally drowned.

The two of them died a little weirdly, but the boat suddenly shook, and the two of them fell into the water at the same time.

The husband and wife, who were originally very watery, were also like Li Yinhe, and they bubbled without showing their heads.

In the evening, the bodies of the three were salvaged and placed side by side by the river, and it is said that they were placed exactly the same as when the bodies of the old man and the young were fished up.

Regarding this Pei Xiaopei's injury by the Black Duck River, it was actually a big tragedy in Shanhe Village, there were a total of seven children at that time, all of whom fell to their deaths, and only this Pei Xiaopei survived.

On that day, the black duck was bleeding all over the river, and the cry was earth-shattering.

According to Li Zheng and several villagers who were present at the time, because the fruit trees growing next to the Black Duck River had some fruits, several children went up to the trees to pick fruits, but they all fell down and died.

At first, he went to see him every day, but later he found that he didn't seem to remember anything about that day, and he went there less often.
