Chapter 4 Master Hunts Ghosts

Overboard!

It must be a ghost!

For ordinary people, ghosts and people are estranged, which is a kind of place that ordinary people can't reach.

When I was a child, I heard adults talk about this kind of thing from time to time, and I was afraid of it since I was a child. I don't know what it is, but it must be terrifying.

Some people say that it should be a small body, and it usually squats at the water's edge. It's not that everyone can see it, only people with very low yang energy, or children and the like, will see or touch it.

Although many people have talked about the drowning ghost, no one can say what this ghost really looks like.

Everyone talks about drowning ghosts, but there must not be a few people who have seen them, or most of the people who have seen them are gone. Because this is not only a kind of evil spirit, but also a poison that has no antidote. Or that everyone says something different, and some people even say that they have seen it, but they can't describe it clearly.

Since I was a child, I have heard too many versions and situations, all of which are nothing more than some that make children unable to sleep.

Some people say that in a neighboring village or a neighboring town, someone who has bumped into a drowning ghost on a certain night when passing by a deserted place; Whose children went to play by the water, watched as they were pulled into the water by the drowning ghost, and finally everyone found the body in the mud.

Anyway, I heard a lot of legends, and I can't express them one by one, anyway, it's all about overboarders. But it sounds scary to children and worried to adults. Anyway, the villagers themselves didn't see this, but everyone was in awe.

Although I was scared since I was a child, I was inevitably a little curious. After going to school, the teacher taught everyone not to be superstitious, but for the adults around them, the young heart naturally felt suspicious.

One of them was fortunate enough to hear Xiang Sanye talk about the ancients, and when it happened to be talking about Zhai, I asked this question on a whim.

Why did I ask Xiang Sanye, I think it was because I had stubborn thoughts in my heart at that time, and I also felt that no one around me knew more than him. What's more, he has also told a lot of stories about ghosts, so he naturally knows that he knows a lot.

In my impression, my grandfather was a person with a university question, and although he was kind and loving to me, he never talked about these ghosts with his juniors. It's just some things about his youth, and I grew up later, and I heard a few words from other people's mouths.

He is said to be extremely learned, and it can be seen from some of the poems he wrote that many teachers admired. But I don't know why, I think it has something to do with everyone's experience, he should not talk about these things with juniors.

Listening to Xiang Sanye's understanding, I heard some versions, or the inertia of this kind of thing. He said that drowning ghosts usually only appear at night, because they are so good at water that ordinary people can't catch them at all. And they are very agile and will dive into the water when they hear the wind and grass.

However, it is said that most of the ghosts in the water are changed by children, and there are not many women who fall into the water, and there are few men, especially adult men, because they are extremely yang.

It is said that after they become ghosts, they have some resentment in their hearts, and it is said that it is difficult to reincarnate when they become such ghosts, so they need a kind of liberation. However, as long as they can find a substitute ghost, they will be able to free themselves from samsara.

It's an act of harming others and benefiting oneself, but as a ghost, who cares about these things.

Of course, they will also squat on rocks at the water's edge or on the shore road at nightfall, luring some children or women into the water and dragging them into the water to drown.

Because of hearing these clips, I almost didn't dare to go into the water when I was a child, even in crowded places, or when there was sun during the day.

Later, I doubted that I didn't learn to swim until after middle school, even though I was born in a water town, and I don't know if it had anything to do with hearing about it.

Mrs. Yi didn't let everyone cut down the big locust tree, she had her opinion. Whether it's because of her old age, or his son's identity, I guess no one will refute it anyway. He said that Thinfoot had touched a water ghost, and many people did not dare to refute her point of view.

Later, everyone said that the thin feet hit the ghost, and everyone didn't know who said it first, anyway, the Zhuo family was convinced. As an elder, as well as the neighbors and relatives of the Zhuo family, Mrs. Yi also went to the big locust tree to burn a lot of paper money, saying that it was to repay the wish and scatter wealth for the fine feet.

The old man's heart still touched many people, after all, Mrs. Yi usually knows that she is a good person with a happy mouth and a soft heart. The villagers will not have much to do, and the big locust tree was not cut in the end, I think the Zhuo family is also afraid that the country will find trouble, or there is really no way.

From the day of the accident to the end, Slender Feet did not survive the fourth day.

On the day that Slender Feet died, I vaguely felt that when I got out of school, I didn't dare to pass by the side of Qiu'er's house, but went home from another path.

The first thing I knew in the compound was Lotus, she had a good relationship with my mother, and when I returned to the house in the compound, I saw a bunch of people chatting in front of the gate steps, and the atmosphere made people feel very depressed. My mother and Lotus were in the crowd, and everyone kept talking.

Because when the thin feet were about to die, Yuxian still went to the Zhuo family. When he finally returned from his trip to Zhuo's house, Lotus told my mother that Finefoot had died. According to her, when Thinfoot died, a pair of eyes were round and penetrating, her hands and feet were lying on her back, and her eyes never closed.

I felt that the village was gloomy and gloomy that day, as if the atmosphere was particularly oppressive, and it was a really eerie feeling.

The old people in the compound all said that it was the reason why the evil spirit of the thin feet was too heavy. Although he is not very old, he is already a child with ideas. This is the unwillingness to die, and the three souls and seven spirits refuse to leave in the village.

I didn't even think about it at that time, whether this was true, I felt furious when I heard it.

The sound of firecrackers sounded from time to time on the Zhuo family's side, mixed with some of the Zhuo family's cries, and those cries made people feel even more infiltrated. I had goosebumps all over my body, and I remember them vividly many years later.

Because the father of the thin feet gave birth to many children, their family can be regarded as a prosperous family. Several sisters are already married, and when they heard that the youngest brother had an accident, those people came back one after another, and it was obvious that the family was too sad.

Many people in the village came to visit and comfort the Zhuo family, mainly to comfort the thin-footed mother. The people in the compound here and the Slender Foot family are a small team, and although everyone is some distance away, they can be regarded as neighbors.

I remember that my mother also went, but an old man said not to bring the child over, because he was afraid that the child would have low yang energy and cause some bad things. I don't know that much, but I also know that I can't go to the Slender Feet House by myself.

To be honest, I was absolutely afraid to go at that time. My mother wanted to help with some trivial things, so I stayed at home, and to tell the truth, I didn't dare to go.

If it weren't for my grandmother at home, I think I would have cried. After school, I honestly sat on my grandmother's side, and sat in the old house on the left side of the compound with my grandmother, looking at my books, and my brain was confused.

It looked like I was working hard, but I don't even remember what was going on at the time. The book was in front of me, but I couldn't read it. At that time, I didn't know why, but I couldn't remember the specific shape of my thin feet later, and I was still very strange after that.

There were a lot of firecrackers set off at the Zhuo family, and there was a period of crying that made me cry, and I was surprised how so many people could cry.

For the first time in history, I slept in my grandmother's room that day.

In the countryside, teenagers who do not have adults cannot enter the ancestral cemetery, let alone do a lot of white things. Even if the Zhuo family loved Slender Feet no matter how much they loved it, because the age of Slender Feet was there, the body was buried early the next day after staying at home for one night.

According to the customs of the countryside, this kind of bean ghost is commonly known as the short-lived ghost.

The countrymen were very simple, and although the death was great, the age of the thin feet was too young, so they were nailed into a box with a wooden plank, and two laborers carried them to the king's homeland, and finally dug a pit and buried them.

When I knew these things, I mentioned them a long time later, from intermittent chats between adults, and I only vaguely knew some of them, and then I guessed them myself.

In fact, there were many things at that time, which are said to have been taboo for a while.

The thin feet didn't die for a long time, and the uncle Luo in the provincial capital came back. It's not that he delayed his time when he received a call, the traffic was really inconvenient in that era, and everyone understood that he had a heart. It is said that when he cut the queue in the village, he valued his thin-footed brother Zhuo Yi very much.

This is a real master, and he is also an extremely famous figure in ten miles and eight towns. Although in the environment at that time, no one dared to mention this profession, because it not only conflicted with the ideas of the leader, but also obviously retained the residual consciousness of feudalism.

But the countryman just recognized it in his heart, and actually believed in him more than the doctor.

When Uncle Luo returned to Zhuo's house, he circled around the Zhuo family's old house three times, and then sighed three times. The person who accompanied Uncle Luo at that time was Mrs. Yi and Zhuo Yiming, the father of Slender Feet. Uncle Luo said a few words, and even the father of the thin feet began to cry.

The Zhuo family set up the altar and let Uncle Luo be super thin. The big cry I heard was Uncle Luo doing things at the Zhuo family at that time. What happened at that time, Zhuo Yiming, the father of thin feet, never mentioned it to anyone, and this honest old man was silent all his life.

Later, some women still heard about it from Mrs. Yi's mouth, and only then did they know that the death of Thin Feet was a little resentful.

A ghost found Slender Feet, this Fallen Ghost was originally a little incomplete in spirit, but was actually taken to the king's homeland by Slender Feet. When Wang Jiayuan resisted Japan before liberation, some people died there unjustly. It happened that an unjust ghost strengthened the ghost, and the ghost looked for a stand-in for his thin feet.

Even if I heard it on and off, it was enough to scare my childhood almost to be frightened by evil spirits.

The people of the Zhuo family were sad that Uncle Luo said that the thin feet were actually extremely evil, and there was nothing too big about it. But when the Zhuo family took him to the hospital, he happened to live close to the morgue. The yin qi there fueled the water ghost even more, and it gradually gained the upper hand.

I don't know if Uncle Luo is flaunting himself for the rest, but the countrymen are convinced. What he said to Zhuo Yiming was that if he came back half a day earlier, Thin Feet should not have died. I was speechless when I heard this, but the Zhuo family was convinced of it many years later.

Because Uncle Luo can hunt ghosts.
