Chapter 1: Chen Yuqiao
Chapter 1: Chen Yuqiao
The following story I tell can be regarded as a pastime after dinner. You can't believe it or believe it all! Never imitate. People attribute everything that science can't explain to superstition, just like I have seen that some diseases can't be found in the hospital, but some gods, gods, and half-immortals can make a cup of tea, burn seals, and light column incense. This is called episism! It is a kind that people classify it as superstition.
The protagonist of the story is not a special human, nor does he have a special function, let alone heaven and earth. It's just that he knows some common sense of yin and yang, knows some spells, and knows more than ordinary people.
We have all seen Uncle Ying's movies after the 90s, right? Do you think that Taoist people have been coaxed since childhood? In fact, this is not the case. Everyone in the world has their own way of living. You are happy, some people are happier than you, and some people are more painful than you.
I am the protagonist, and the protagonist is me. My name is Chen Yuqiao. Listen, how about this name? Someone must have said that this is a woman's name! Yes, people have said this since I was a child. I'm not satisfied with that name when I grow up.
Why? Yuqiao, what's wrong with a man with the word Yu? Does a woman have a bad word for a woman? Therefore, whether it is male or female, there is no way to call for so many years, even if you want to change it, you can't change it.
I remember when I was a child, I asked my mother why it was called this name. My mother told me without thinking about it: If it hadn't been for this name, could you grow so big? What are you asking?
The thing is like this. It is said that I was a premature baby when I was a child, and it was not the right time to give birth. The fortune teller said that my eight characters lacked fire, water and light wood. It is said that it is once in a hundred years. Anyway, it is quite evil!
When I was a baby, it was called a weak and sickly person. I don't know whether it was because of premature delivery or because of the light eight characters, or because of the two together. Everyone should know that people with light eight characters can usually see things that ordinary people can't see. At that time, it was just so understood.
My mother said that I spent almost all my full moon in the clinic. My grandmother told me that once, everyone thought I was dead, took the hoe, and was ready to dig a pit, but at that time, I still had half a breath that no one dared to bury me, so that half breath kept talking about the present. And basically I don't sleep at night and cry all night, which makes my parents suffer.
If it's difficult to raise, I have to raise it. After all, I still have a breath to carry it. What's more, I'm a man who can carry the tools to commit crimes with me, and I don't want to give it to others, let alone lose it.
Fortunately, my grandmother called me to understand at that time and now she is called a superstitious person. In winter, she hugged me and asked God. Since then, I have had a name and a lot of godfathers and godmothers. Those godfathers and godmothers are not human beings. Of course, they are not ghosts. That thing is a god. The most famous godfather is the top famous monkey brother, smashing dragons. The palace, breaking into the hell, beat the Jade Emperor's great saint, the godmother is more. It is said that the son does not say "father", so I will not introduce him one by one.
There is another legendary baby. I don't know what it is called. Just call it 'Black Triangle'! That thing is not big. It should be regarded as an equilateral triangle. An equilateral triangle is... Yes, I won't be a big-tailed wolf, everyone knows. That thing is sewn with black cloth, and there is a piece of paper in it, which should be a symbol!
It's strange that since I brought the Black Triangle and recognized those godfathers and daughters, I have been more at ease at night. I don't cry or make noise, and I don't get sick less. Premature babies still get sick there more frequently than others. My mother used to say to me that it was bigger than me to tie up a hundred-yuan banknote!
Although it is said that he is sick, he has grown up safely, but his physique is still a circle younger than that of children of the same age. Six years old looks no different from three or four years old, and he looks very young.
My family is not very rich. My father works outside all year round and only comes home for a few days during the Spring Festival. My mother has to do farm work, so when I was a child, I usually followed my neighbor's old man. That old man is amazing. His surname is Chen Mingyangzhang. He is a famous gentleman in Shili Baxiang. He helps people take care of feng shui and go to go to his���. Eight characters, choose the day...
He is good and always laughs. I call him grandpa. Although he is in his seventies, his body is very strong. When he sees children, he always hugs him.
Usually, as long as he is free, he will teach me to play chess, write calligraphy, and play erhu. I am also very close to him. He always says that I have made extraordinary achievements when I grow up, but I have never done anything until now. Sometimes I see him draw symbols, but he doesn't hide them. He will also explain to me patiently. At that time, if I didn't understand, I would listen to the story, and sometimes I would listen to it all afternoon. Usually, he will sit under the tree and tell stories about water ghosts, hanging ghosts, substitute ghosts...
Later, when he grew up, he had to go to school to receive education, and gradually alienated him. It's all because the teacher said that there are no ghosts in the world, so I treat him as a magic stick and run away when I see him. But I saw the teacher burning paper on the roadside for three days. If you want to burn it for his relatives, then his relatives can open a bank under the ground, right?
It was not until something happened that I realized that there might be something in the world that science had not discovered. This is also the shadow of my childhood, and I'm afraid every time I think about it!
I remember that I was only nine years old in the second grade. I didn't know what was dangerous at that age. At that time, it was hot in July, and all the children older than me went swimming, and several little tutors were there. They dared to go into the water and come back to "eat noodles". Everyone must not know what "eating noodles" is, right?
It's better in our countryside than in the city. There are no slippers to beat children, and there is no clothes board. Why? There is no time to kneel for you on the clothesboard. The chicken feather stall is more expensive than people in the countryside. Whose is it? The slippers in the countryside are all that kind of hard, and the attack power of taking off your shoes is no worse than that of the eighteen palms of the dragon. I can't bear to give up!
Children who beat people in the countryside are made of small bamboo branches. Usually, for the sake of convenience, beauty, deterrence, ** and so on, parents will say: Who will come to eat noodles! We know that this noodle is not the same, and there is no good noodle. You must eat it with tears. On my side, noodles are a very sacred and in desecrated thing. All right, let's take a walk. Let's get back to the story!
Because, we always have to hide in a desolate place when swimming. There are several people who are not afraid of death, including me. In the afternoon of school discussion, I finally thought of a good place. That place is a cold pool. Even in the hot summer, it is extremely cold. It is surrounded by wasteland. There is a high weed, and there is absolutely no one. That place. I also heard that it is haunted. In the evening, there is the sound of stones hitting the water. In the past, there was still farmland. Because I heard of ghosts, the land was not needed, and gradually became desolate. It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. At that time, they were young and ignorant, so they were not afraid. Now they don't want to go again even if they give money.
At that time, seven people were **-year-old children. They set out. When I got to the pool, I felt that something was wrong and didn't dare to go into the water. Everyone would definitely ask me why something was wrong. To be honest, I didn't know, but I felt something was wrong. It seemed that someone in my mind told me. Don't go down, you won't get up if you go down.
When I told them about this, I was scolded by them for being timid and then ignored me. I saw that they didn't believe it and only felt that it was their own illusion. Maybe it was really timid, and I didn't think about it at that time. Seeing that all six people went into the water, I was left alone on the shore. It was called Wang Feng, also known as observing the enemy, to see if there were any adults passing by. By the way, where is anyone in this damn place?
So I don't look around, just watch them swim, and it's a pleasure to see them play. Several times, I almost couldn't help being cheated into the water. Maybe I didn't deserve it, or I was determined not to go into the water. If I didn't tell you a story today.
It is said that the pool is quite large. The circle next to it is not deep, and the deepest is more than one meter, and the deeper it is in the middle. Anyway, we are absolutely rich if we drown. I don't know how deep it is. At that time, those people didn't know how to swim, so they dared to play on the side.
When I looked at them drowsy, I saw in a daze that there seemed to be one more person, seven! At that time, I thought it was seven when I came. I was thinking that it was wrong. When I came, there were seven, but I didn't go down on the shore. Why are there still seven in the water? At that time, I suddenly woke up, and then I looked at the buzzing sound of my head. After that, I must have met a water ghost.
Seeing that thing swimming towards a partner named Chen Hai, I immediately panicked and shouted, "Chen Hai, come up quickly."
Pick up a stone and throw it over there. Maybe that thing knows that I found it. He stared at me in the water. I finally saw the true face of the thing clearly, and I was afraid to move any more. I couldn't speak. I just looked at it stupidly. That thing's face is much bigger than that of ordinary people's face. Maybe it's because it's soaked in water. It looks very bloated, wearing a long black dress and ragged, and a pair of red eyes, which is very scary.
Chen Hai also heard me calling him, so he raised his head and asked me what I was doing, but before he finished speaking, it was like tripping over something and fell into the water. He struggled hard but still couldn't stand up. He slowly floated towards the middle, as if there was a force pulling him. I panicked. I knew that if Chen Hai went to the middle, he would die. Doubtful.
I dared to shout "It's not good"
I remember that the voice was very loud, and the others came to their senses. Several boldly swam quickly to pull Chen Hai, but the three of them really couldn't pull one. Instead, they seemed to be pulled away by Chen Hai and slowly drifted towards the middle. Watching them struggling, I jumped into the water quickly and didn't take off my clothes. Fortunately, they were not far from the shore. Although there was a lot of resistance to run in the water, I quickly rushed to them and grabbed the last one. I don't know why I didn't float in the middle as soon as I pulled them.
I pulled them back hard, and suddenly there was a reaction, and my feet slipped and fell into the water, as if the thing had let go. With joy in his heart, he immediately struggled to stand up and look. His heart sank to the bottom of the valley again. There were six people in the water, including me. Chen Hai didn't know where he was. Everyone knew that it was broken and was afraid. He quickly returned to the shore. Some shouted Chen Hai heartbreakingly on the shore, and some went to find someone.
After more than ten minutes, several adults finally came. First, they scolded us, and then looked at the surface of the water, but no one dared to go into the water. They just looked at the shore. Gradually, there were more and more people, and I sat wet on the stone.
In the end, it seemed that my mother came to pick me up. On the way home, I saw Grandpa Chen rushing in a hurry. When he saw me, he stopped. First, he scolded me. It was the first time he grew up. Although he forgot what he scolded, his tone was still more concerned. Finally, he asked me if I had seen anything?
He rushed in without waiting for my answer. Naturally, he had to eat noodles when he went home that night, but the tears that night were not because of the pain of eating noodles, but that he was sad for Chen Hai. That brother from childhood has left like this, and I still don't know where he is buried.
If I had tried my best to stop it at that time, this would not have happened. If we had believed in those things at that time, it would not have happened. Because this matter has always adhered to the attitude of trusting something rather than not trusting nothing.
