Chapter 16: The Black Duck River Incident (3)
I asked Jiang Lianyang about the Black Duck River, and he said that the Black Duck River had always been very calm in the past, and as for the few drowning incidents, they all happened decades ago, some of them happened when he was a child, and some of them were told by the old man, as for the last ten years, nothing bad has happened.
What river doesn't have drowned ghosts, and if every one of them makes a fuss, that's okay? Just like the Black Duck River from ancient times to the present, there are countless corpses at the bottom of the river, but before 1929, it has been quiet.
I stared at the notes in front of me and looked through all the supernatural events that happened by the Black Duck River in 1929 several times, and finally found that the cause of these events seemed to be that Pei Xiaopei and other seven children had a tragic accident under the fruit tree, which was too tragic and too big at that time. So when Pei Xiaopei, who had been lying for a year and a half, woke up again, it caused quite a stir in Shanhe Village.
Because, according to the old man, this situation is called the return of the wandering soul, that is, after a person is seriously injured, when he is about to die, the soul will leave the body and cannot come back, and will wander outside, while the body will lie on the bed and sleep all the time.
Legend has it that the spirit can be regained by returning to the body, and it is necessary for the spirit to encounter a god with high ability in the process of wandering, bring it back and send it into the body.
So when the people of Shanhe Village heard that Pei Xiaopei, who had been wandering for more than a year, woke up, they were extremely shocked and came to visit.
Event 6:
On July 26, 1929, Pei Xiaopei had woken up for more than half a year, and on this day, he met Liu Fool who was walking with several people on the street. Pei Xiaopei looked at Liu Fool for a while, and suddenly said: I saw you the day I came, and you were standing by the river, but the fog was too big, and I didn't see you clearly that day.
Hearing Pei Xiaopei say this, several people who walked with Liu Fool were shocked, and their eyes were strange when they looked at Pei Xiaopei.
They remembered that on the day Pei Xiaopei woke up, a strange thing also happened on the Black Duck River: a black gate was erected on the river.
It was Liu Fool in the village who saw this situation, but no one believed him at the time.
Liu Fool was grazing pigs there, and then he heard the sound of the river making an earth-shattering sound, he looked over, and found that there was a huge whirlpool in the middle of the river, and on top of the whirlpool, a black gate appeared, and then there was also a heavy fog on the river, and the fog was extremely thick and extremely thick, covering the whole river and both sides of the river.
Liu Fool was stunned by the scene in front of him, he couldn't imagine that there would be a gate on the river, so he stared at that side, and found that in the fog, a seven or eight-year-old child walked out, and then looked, wasn't that Pei Xiaopei? But this Pei Xiaopei disappeared in a flash.
Through the fog, Liu Fool found that the gate was still there, so he continued to star, and after a while, a woman in a white dress came out of the door, this woman had very long, long curly hair, and then the fog was thicker, and Liu Fool couldn't see anything.
After a long time, the fog lifted, but the river was calm and there was nothing.
Liu Fool ran back to the village in one breath, and said about it when he saw people, but no one believed him, one or two people asked a few words casually, and after hearing the answer, they all thought that it was a fool talking nonsense, so no one paid attention to it, and walked quickly towards Pei's house.
Pei Xiaopei woke up, and the spirit returned, what a magical thing, maybe there was a god to help, so everyone wanted to go over and take a look.
I have read this incident many times, and this incident makes me sure that there must be something wrong with this Pei Xiaopei, and it is very likely that he walked out of the gate seen by Liu Fool on the river, so where did he come from? Who was he before? If he is also Pei Xiaopei, does this mean that parallel space really exists?
Suddenly I remembered one more thing, that is, Li Yinhe's death, why did Pei Xiaopei, who was reborn, learn to crow in advance in the middle of the night, mislead Li Yinhe, and let him go to the riverside? Why did he want Li Yinhe to die, and how did he know that the drowned ghost in the river would take Li Yinhe away that night?
There is also the gate on the river, and the gate that appeared in Li Caimo's cemetery, both mention a woman in white with a white dress and long curly hair, could these two people be Li Caimo? Li Caimo, is it Guo Mingyue?
There are more and more mysteries.
Event 7:
On July 29, 1929, Zhang Laifu and Han Dazhuang from Shanhe Village went fishing by the Black Duck River early in the morning. After fishing for a while, Han Dazhuang suddenly felt very sleepy, and there happened to be a grass shed built by Li Yinhe before the river, so Han Dazhuang said If you don't fish, I'll go to sleep, and call me when you leave.
Zhang Laifu agreed and continued to fish by himself. Han Dazhuang went into the shed to sleep.
Zhang Laifu is very interested in fishing, he brought two corn tortillas today, and he will eat them casually for lunch, and he is bound to fish a full bucket before going home.
I didn't expect that the luck of this day was also very good, one after another, and soon caught half a bucket, he was so happy that he forgot the time, until it was almost dark, and the fish were full of a bucket, and he wanted to continue fishing, but he couldn't see the fish floating, so he closed the rod and prepared to go home, and suddenly remembered that Han Dazhuang was still sleeping in the grass hut.
Zhang Laifu then remembered that Han Dazhuang had entered the grass shed in the morning and had not come out until now, so he couldn't have left quietly, so he went to the grass shed to check. But before the person reached the grass hut, he heard Han Dazhuang's laughter and talking inside, which sounded like he was chatting with someone.
Zhang Laifu thought that someone from the village was coming, so he walked over and pushed open the door of the grass shed, and saw Han Dazhuang sitting alone on a broken chair in the grass shed, smiling at the other empty chair next to him with a shy face, and then whispered something like "Okay, I'll accompany you in the past" and "I will definitely accompany you and give you companions", completely ignoring Zhang Laifu who pushed the door in.
Zhang Laifu and Han Dazhuang are both half-grown sons who have not yet married a daughter-in-law, and when they saw Han Dazhuang talking like this, and saying to the air, Zhang Laifu felt weird and a little creepy.
"Da Zhuang, what are you doing?!"
Zhang Laifu shouted loudly in order to strengthen his courage.
Han Dazhuang, who was sitting on the chair, came to his senses, and then looked all the way from the chair to the door, as if he was watching someone leave, and then looked at Zhang Laifu and said angrily:
"Look at what you are shouting loudly, it has scared away the autumn lady."
"What autumn lady!" Zhang Laifu was furious in his heart, and he had the courage to roar loudly again.
"Oh, what are you shouting? You won't come here when you shout the autumn lady. Han Dazhuang was a little angry.
"What autumn lady, if you don't come, you won't come, go home when it's dark!"
Han Dazhuang said and turned around to go to the river, he felt that the river was like ink, dark and surging, he felt furious in his heart, and hurriedly picked up the fishing rod and bucket, and then pulled Han Dazhuang and walked in the direction of the village, feeling a burst of numbness on his scalp along the way.
Looking at Han Dazhuang again, he was blushing all the way, like a little daughter-in-law, he lowered his head and smirked "hehe", laughed for a while and said:
"Qiu Niangzi said to go home with me to meet her family, and then she wanted to recruit me into the family, her family is a rich family."
When Zhang Laifu heard this, he was even more frightened, and dragged Han Dazhuang almost all the way to trot, and finally returned to the village, sending Han Dazhuang back first, and then going home.
After returning home, the more Zhang Laifu thought about it, the more wrong it became, thinking about it, he still went to Han Dazhuang's house to have a look, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw Han Dazhuang telling his parents that he would have to marry Qiu Niangzi in the next few days, move to live with her, and let his parents pack his clothes and luggage for him.
Zhang Laifu told Han Dazhuang's parents about what happened by the Black Duck River all day. Han Dazhuang's father guessed that his son might have been entangled by a ghost, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of it at a glance, and his son would go to the river again, so he vacated a warehouse the next day and locked Han Dazhuang inside, thinking that after locking it for a few days, the ghost would naturally leave.
After Han Dazhuang was locked, he was very anxious, banging on the door and shouting every day, clamoring to go out, to marry Qiu Niangzi, to go to a wealthy family, and to say that Qiu Niangzi's family has thousands of acres of land, dozens of tall houses, and a group of slaves, and it is a blessing to go by yourself.
In this way, it was three days in a row, and on the fourth day, the parents heard that there was no movement in the warehouse, so they quietly leaned on the window to look inside, and they were frightened by this look, and saw Han Dazhuang sitting on one side of the wooden bed in the warehouse, smiling at the other side of the no-man's land, and saying:
"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, I listen to you, I'll listen to you, I'll go with you today."
Then the hem of Han Dazhuang's clothes was windless and automatic, one would lift it, one would roll it up, and the other would seem to be stretched forward by someone.
Han Dazhuang's parents had the courage to bring him lunch, and then thought about going to the next village tomorrow to find a fortune teller to show him. At dinner, his parents went to deliver the food again, but when they saw that the food was not moving, Han Dazhuang drowned in a small bowl filled with water with his face.
This matter is too weird, Han Dazhuang is the only son in the family, his parents are naturally mourning in their hearts, and they are crying into tears, even if their son is dead, they have to track down who these three ladies are, so they asked everywhere if Qiu Niangzi drowned in the black duck river?
At this time, an old man who was over ninety years old suddenly remembered something, and said that the name Qiu Niangzi seemed to be heard when he was a child.
Han Dazhuang's parents hurriedly asked, and the old man thought for a long time before slowly recalling, saying that he was about a teenager at that time, and there was a family surnamed Tian in the village, and he gave birth to a daughter named Tian Qiuniang, who was very good-looking. Because of the poverty of the family, he was introduced to the family of a big official in the provincial capital as a maidservant.
Within a few days, Tian Qiuniang was taken by the eldest man of the family, so she accepted a concubine. After Tian Qiuniang became a concubine, she was very much loved by this official master, and she would agree to whatever she asked, but Tian Qiuniang disliked this official master in her heart that she was too old, and later secretly got involved with one of the master's guards.
After the time passed, Tian Qiuniang became pregnant, and after the eldest lady called someone to diagnose it, she was already pregnant for more than a month, but the old man went to Peking for business and was not at home for nearly three months. So the eldest lady secretly checked and found out that it was one of the old man's guards.
Tian Qiuniang also got the news, so she discussed with the guard, packed up the silver ticket and fled together, but when it was time to leave, the guard cheated her out of her money and ran away alone, Tian Qiuniang had no choice, she couldn't go anywhere else without money in her hand, and finally she could only secretly run back to Shanhe Village alone.
After arriving home, her parents heard that she had done such an ugly thing, and they were worried that the whole family would suffer when the official master came, so they sank Tian Qiuniang's five-flower bus into the Black Duck River.
When the official came back and chased him to Shanhe Village, he learned that Tian Qiuniang had been sunk into the river by his family, and he was angry and sad, but he was still very reluctant to Tian Qiuniang in his heart, so he ordered people to burn a lot of paper money, paper people, paper houses, and fields by the river.
Later, the Tian family also moved away, and they didn't know where to go.
After the old man finished talking about Tian Qiuniang, he said that this Tian Qiuniang had been dead for nearly 80 years, and he had never made any strange things during this period, and he had never shown up, why did he suddenly appear now and take away someone?
