Chapter 126 Water Ghost 1

I heard that a group of ghouls came to Xiushui Village a long time ago. They all came from Luoyang. The old people also said that Luoyang is the old capital of the nine dynasties, and Luoyang has Luoshen. A long time ago, in Luoyang City, one year, a group of children were drowned by bathing in the river and became drowning ghosts. Later, I don't know what the reason is. Those drowning ghosts came to the northeast in a boat and took root here. Since then, there has been no peace here. Because those drowning ghosts are from Luoyang, Luo and Luo are the same, so they are also known as ghosts in the northeast.

Liu Dashao has always believed that the ghoul and Aunt Tiger (the old woman who specializes in eating children) and the old lady patting flowers (the old lady who specializes in patting children's heads, causing children to lose their minds and be at their mercy) are all used by adults to scare children. So I have always been full of suspicion and curiosity about them.

The ghoul, also known as the water monkey, has infinite power in the water and can drown a cow in water at a depth of one meter. But on the shore, there is no power to pick chickens, and they are slaughtered by others. So they can only live in the water, and their lives can't be saved as soon as they go ashore. But few people have seen real ghosts. Some people say it looks like a child, while others say it looks like a duck. Those who were dragged into the water by the ghoul became its stand-in. The ghoul found the stand-in and was reincarnated. The people who were dragged into the water and drowned by the ghoul became ghouls and continued to look for the stand-in in the pond until they found their own stand-in. In this way, it goes on and on and on.

However, everything in the world has its weaknesses, and so does the ghoul. The fatal weakness of ghouls is that they can't leave the water. Water is the source of their power. Once the ghoul leaves the water, it's like the Hercules Hercules in ancient Western myths left his earth mother, and lost his power and was killed in mid-air by the enemy. The ghouls also like to use children's crying to lure people to the water's edge, and then take the opportunity to drag people into the water. Specially for women and children, because women and children are relatively weak and easy to do, and men are so strong that they dare not approach. This statement further aroused Liu's suspicion that there are ghosts in the world.

In that year, a child in Xiushan Village next door was dragged away by a ghost. There is a man named Yu Suo in the village next door, who is three years younger than Liu.

That day, everyone was in time for the market in town. The adults in the village have gone to the streets, and there are only some old people and children left at home to look after the house. Since it's June, the weather is unbearable. Yu Suo discussed with some friends about secretly taking a bath in the pond, and forgot what the adults had said not to go to the pond to take a bath. As a result, when they came up after taking a shower, they found that the jade lock had not come up yet, so several children shouted the name of the jade lock in the pond. After shouting for a long time, there was no response from the jade lock. Several people were anxious. They all said that the jade lock was dragged by the corpse ghost, so after discussion, they set up their names and never told the adults about the jade lock. Being drowned, several children also threw the jade lock's clothes in the grass and hid them.

At noon, the adults came back from the market. When Yu Suo's parents saw other people's children but did not see their own children, they asked those children if they had seen Yu Suo. Those people shook their heads and said that they did not see Yu Suo. Yusuo's parents shouted their son's name all over the yard, but they didn't see his son. They couldn't find it anywhere. Yusuo's parents were very anxious. At this time, the mother of one of the children saw that her son's eyes were a little wrong when he answered Yu Suo's parents, and he was a little confused. After all, the child is still a child, and he can't even tell a lie. How can she lie to his parents? So the child's mother slapped the child on the face and asked, "To be honest, where is the jade lock?"

The child cried and told the story. After hearing this, Yusuo's mother ran to the pond in front of his house like crazy. When Yusuo's father saw his woman walking to the pond, he followed him. Before Yusuo's father understood what was going on, he heard his wife shouting his son Yusuo's name to the pond, and immediately understood it. I jumped into the pond.

The parents of those children also came to the pond. Several men, like Yu Suo Dad, jumped into the pond without taking off their clothes. Less than a quarter of an hour, the jade lock was fished up by his father. The jade lock that was fished up had already closed his eyes, and his mouth and nose were full of blood, and blood could not stop coming out of the nose and mouth of the jade lock.

When Yusuo Niang saw her son like this, she cried and fainted to death. Yu Suo's father put the Yu Suo horizontally on his lap and kept beating Yu Suo's back with his fist. He beat it one by one, and the blood in Yu Suo's mouth came to the ground. Yu Suo's father kept beating with tears in his eyes, but Yu Suo still had no reaction. The skin on Yu Suo's body is not even blood-colored, dark purple. The men present shook their heads sadly, because they knew that the jade lock had been fished up too late and could not be saved. And those women took off their sons' trousers and hit their son's white and tender buttocks fiercely. "I told you to go down to the pond to take a shower. I told you to do it. I'll kill you today." For a moment, the children cried loudly.

Yu Suo's aunt came a fire blowing tube from home (made of bamboo, hollow, used to blow fire to make it burn faster.) Pass it to Yu Suo's father. The jade lock father took the blower and blew air at the anus-door of the jade lock. After a while, a stream of sewage and blood gushed out of Yu Suo's mouth. Yu Suo's father hit Yu Suo's back with his fist, and Yu Suo still did not respond. Yusuo's father blew the flout at the anus of Yusuo for a while. After a while, the stool gushed out of Yu Suo's mouth. Yu Suo's father pounded his son's back hard, and Yu Suo still closed his eyes tightly. Yusuo's father desperately wiped the dirt and blood on his son's mouth, held him on his body and walked to his home.

Everyone helped the awakened Yusuo Niang and returned to her home. Yusuo Niang lay on her son's body and cried to death. Her tears were dry and her intestines were broken. In the end, they couldn't help tearing their hair with their hands. Several women burst into tears when they saw this scene and hurried forward to pull Yu Suo Niang. Yusuo's father, who was beside him, kept silent and smoked fiercely. Everyone's heart was covered with a layer of sadness and very uncomfortable. He was still a good child when he went out in the morning. Why did he become like this in less than half a day? Poor Yu Suo became a bean ghost at a young age (a child who died before adulthood), and the Yu Suo family was immersed in grief. The next day, someone from the village next door came to Liu Dashao's house and said that he would invite Zhang Tianshi to have a look. After hearing what they said, Zhang En Pu agreed to go and see it. When Master Liu heard the words, he also wanted to go and have a look with Zhang En Pu. Liu honestly didn't let him go. He said that there was nothing good about the dead. When he saw it, he would dream of ghosts at night. Liu Dashao really didn't know whether to say anything about it or not. Zhang En Pu thought about it, and it was right to add some of his apprentice's experience, so he agreed on behalf of Liu. Seeing that Zhang Enfu had agreed, Liu Laoshi could not say anything more. He just said something to take good care of Liu,
