When the river bridge was about to go, a man suddenly pulled me and turned my head to see that it was still the old man I met yesterday afternoon!
I was surprised. "What’s the matter, Grandpa?"
"A young man was seen fishing by the river last night! Fishing, fishing, setting up a fire, grilled fish, drinking, drinking alone, talking and laughing, taking a sip and pouring it into the ground! " The old man said with a serious face, "Is that you?"
"It should be me," I said. "So what?"
"What’s the matter?" The old man said, "You’ve made a big deal! You are really dead! I tell you that you have met a ghost! "
"Grandpa," I said, "if I meet a ghost, can I still talk to you well now?"
"that’s not the time to kill you!" The old man said, "Water ghosts want to find body double if they want to be reincarnated! If this body double wants to die, that ghost can give birth well! I tell you to go home quickly and ask a monk, Taoist priest, or visit fortune-teller and catch ghosts to help you eliminate disasters! "
I heard it, too. Is it true that Wang Shuzi is really looking for body double to trick me into waiting for me to jump into the river and die willingly?
Chapter VI Different Ways for People and Ghosts
After thinking for a while, I still feel that even if Wang Shuzi is a water ghost, even if he wants to find body double, he should be reluctant to give it to me, right?
We are all brothers.
Ghosts should also have feelings, right?
So I shook my head and said, "I still don’t believe what you said! If you have nothing to do, if you are idle, go and talk to some old ladies! "
"You child!" The old man glared at his eyes and said, "What is it? I’m really full of idle food and gossiping with you! "
The old man left me in anger.
This old man is quite warm-hearted. I was angry and left. He was very sorry. I smiled at his back and went to the river.
This evening, I saw Wang Shuzi again. He was the same as the other two days. We ate meat, drank wine and chatted very much. We felt that our friendship was getting deeper and deeper. I said to myself in my heart, how could he hurt me with such good feelings?
I didn’t get up until almost noon on the fourth day after I went back. Then I saw my dad sitting on the bed seriously and said, "Let me ask you something?"
I said, "What?"
Dad asked, "Did you recruit a ghost again?"
My heart was shocked. Why did dad know about this?
I faltered and said, "No, Dad, you’re okay. Don’t curse your son, okay?"
"Not I curse you! It was Liu Wei who told me in a dream last night! " Dad said, "He said you came back with something congenial! It’s something congenial to be in contact with him! I remember that you went fishing by the river every day these days. Maybe you really met something dirty in the water. I went to the river for a walk this morning and heard people talking about water ghosts everywhere! That water ghost bought wine and spices, and there has been a young man fishing and grilled fish by the river these days and then drinking crazily. Is that you? !”
"Listen to their threats!" I said, "Nothing! If there is a story about your son, can I still talk to you in a good way? "
Dad paused. "That’s true, but Liu Wei is dreaming. He won’t talk nonsense, will he?"
I asked, "After all these years, Liu Wei hasn’t been reincarnated?"
"No," dad said. "He has found a family over there and has been adopted. Now he is almost as old as you."
"Is it a day over there?" I stare big eyes and say, "Are you kidding? You can live there?"
"Who knows?" Dad said. "That’s what he said in his dream. He also asked us to burn more paper money. He spent more money."
"Fake?" I said, "Dad, don’t take all your dreams seriously."
"We haven’t died yet. How do we know what the world is over there?" Dad said, "I’d rather believe it or not! Don’t go fishing today. "
"No, I have an appointment with my friend," I said. "I can’t break my word."
Dad said, "That friend of yours is a ghost, right?"
"Don’t talk nonsense!" I said, "If you curse me, how can you curse my friend as a ghost? This makes people hear it and can’t be anxious with you! "
Dad didn’t argue, I didn’t say, and I didn’t say anything.
At night, I still went to the river with a bucket, regardless of other people’s comments
But Wang Shuzi didn’t appear from beginning to end this night.
Seven fish were caught, and I went home unhappy.
When I got home, my father asked me, "Where’s your friend?"
"He didn’t come today? No, "I was stunned before I realized," Dad, you followed me secretly? "
"How can you rest assured if you don’t go and see?" Dad said, "But now it seems that there is nothing to worry about. I guess those who talk are not talking about you."
"It’s not as long as my river bank. Who knows how many fishermen there are?" I said. "There must be more than one crazy drinker!"
That being said, what on earth didn’t Wang Shuzi come? Did you know that my father was stalking me?
I’m sure I slept all night in such a nervous way.
Days later, I hurried to the river before it was too late.
This time, I deliberately walked a long way, and I also kept an eye on whether my father followed me from time to time.
No trace of dad’s stalking was found all the way. It seems that dad is really relieved.
Settle down and it will soon get dark.
I’m not in the mood to fish, twisting my head and looking around, waiting to see if the evil wind will blow Wang Shuzi or not. As a result, someone suddenly shouted "Wu" behind me.
I was startled and turned to look at Wang Shuzi by the river.
It’s breath again.
"Why didn’t you come yesterday?" I said
"Wu came here today just to say one thing to you." Wang Shuzi looked very strange. "I may not come again."
"Ah?" I was taken aback and said, "What?"
Wang Shuzi said, "We can’t meet again. People in the town are talking about it everywhere, and your father should be your father last night. He also secretly followed you. They should know about me."
I said, "What if I know? We should drink and eat without interfering with them. "
"Ha ha ….." Wang Shuzi said with a wry smile, "Brother Wu, do you really not know my identity?"
"Well …" I froze and then lowered my head. "It seems that I know you are a water ghost?"
"Yes," Wang Shuzi sighed faintly. "I’m a water ghost. I’ve been dead for three years. One noon three years ago, I took a bath in this river and drowned here because I drank wine, but I still like drinking after I died."
