Chapter 149 The Drowned Ghost

When I came to Liuwan Village, I asked Daniel to take me directly to the pond where Tingting had an accident.

Daniu's aunt is in Liuwan Village, and she often came to play in the past, and she is quite familiar with Liuwan Village.

After taking me around, I found the pond.

"Here, here it is!" Daniel said.

I walked up and looked around. This is the kind of pond that can be seen everywhere in the countryside. Some ponds are used to store water, and some fish fry are also raised in it, and there is farmland next to it.When the farmland is short of water and dry, the water in the pond is diverted to irrigate the farmland.

The area of ​​this pond is considered to be a relatively large pond, but the strange thing is that this pond has been abandoned, and it seems that it has not been used for some years. The walls of the pond are covered with green and black moss, and the bottom of the pond is piled up. There is thick mud and weeds are overgrown. Occasionally, a few toads can be seen jumping in the puddles and making cooing sounds.

I looked up and saw that there were several farmlands near the pond. This pond was supposed to be responsible for irrigating these farmlands. It stands to reason that it should be put to good use. Why was it abandoned for no reason?

I walked around the pond: "Daniu, do you know why this pond has been discontinued?"

Daniel shook his head: "I really don't know about this. When I came back last time, I saw that this place was abandoned. I still remember that when I was a child, this pond was always full of water. Sometimes when I went to my aunt's house to play, I just followed A few cousins ​​ran here to fish in the water!"

"Well, let's go back and ask your aunt!" I said to Daniel.

Daniel was very puzzled: "Xiaogu, is this pond related to Tingting's fainting?"

I said: "I don't know yet, let's go to your aunt's house first to see if she knows what happened to this pond!"

Da Niu took me to his aunt's house full of questions.

Daniu's aunt built a pig house by herself. Although it was hard work, she also saved some money and built a small western-style building.

However, this layout is weird and very rural. There is a small western-style building in the front and a pigsty in the backyard. You can hear the cries of the piglets when you sleep at night.

When he arrived at Da Niu's aunt's house, his aunt was about to go out, and she was very surprised to see Da Niu's arrival: "Hey, Da Niu, why are you here?"

"I'll come and see you when I'm fine!" Daniel said.

My aunt said: "Why don't you call in advance, and my aunt will prepare delicious food for you!"

"No, I'll leave after a while, Auntie, are you going out?" Daniel asked.

"Yes! I'm going to the city to buy some pig feed!" My aunt said as she welcomed us into the house.

My aunt was busy making tea for me, but Daniel waved his hands again and again: "No need, aunt, you have something to do, and we won't keep you too long. In fact, I just want to ask why the pond in the south of the village was abandoned. ?”

"Which pond?" My aunt asked.

"It's the pond where I used to fish with Yaowazi when I was young!" Daniel said.

"Oh!" My aunt thought for a while: "You mean the Yangjia pond? Hey, that pond has been abandoned for two or three years!"

"Why is such a big pond abandoned for no reason?" I asked his aunt Daniel.

My aunt looked at us strangely: "Are you two okay, what does it matter to you that the pond is abandoned?"

I casually made up an excuse: "Oh, we passed by there just now and thought the pond was nice, and I wanted to see if we could contract it out to raise some fish!"

Daniu also echoed for me: "Yes, yes, this is my good friend Tuobagu. He just graduated from university and wants to come back to develop the breeding industry. He is looking for a place. We saw that the pond is good. ,so……"

"I advise you not to think about that pond!" Auntie interrupted Daniel abruptly.

"Why? Isn't that pond very nice?" Daniel asked.

My aunt frowned: "You can contract the pond wherever you go, but you must not contract the Yangjia pond anyway!"

"Auntie, many other ponds are in use, and no one is willing to rent them out! Why can't we contract the Yangjia pond?" From my aunt's expression, it is not difficult to see that the Yangjia pond may be a bit weird, so I deliberately asked, I hope to learn some useful news from my aunt.

"That's right, aunt, why can't you contract the Yangjia pond? You have to give us a reason?" Daniel may also feel a little weird.

Sure enough, I heard my aunt say: "If it was an outsider, I wouldn't tell them, but you are my nephew, and my aunt will not hide some things from you. To tell you the truth, that Yangjia pond is a bit weird! Don't say it is Contracting the pond, even at night, no one dares to pass by the pond!"

"Weird? What's weird?" Daniu and I looked at each other, and my heart skipped a beat.

The aunt lowered her voice and said: "Daniu, you have been outside these few years and rarely come to Liuwan Village. You don't know. Two years ago, a big incident happened to the Yang family!"

Da Niu and I pricked up our ears and listened attentively. We knew that this was finally about something important.

The aunt continued: "Lao Yang's family only gave birth to a daughter at the age of 40. The family naturally loves this hard-won daughter in every possible way. This daughter is also like a lucky star. Since she was born, the vegetable business of Lao Yang's family has become more and more prosperous. It became more and more prosperous, and soon built a small western-style building and bought a car. At that time, many people in the village envied Lao Yang's house.

But just when Lao Yang's family was the happiest, something unfortunate happened.That day Lao Yang went to the city, and Lao Yang's wife was busy in the fields. Their precious daughter Yang Shuling was only seven or eight years old. Maybe she was hungry at home alone, and went out to find her mother alone.

Unexpectedly, bad luck happened when I walked to the edge of the pond. Because it rained here the night before, the edge of the pond was a bit slippery. pond.

Lao Yang's daughter-in-law returned home after finishing her work, but she couldn't see her daughter, and panicked, she ran around to look for her.Later, someone told Lao Yang's wife that she saw Yang Shuling go to the farmland.Lao Yang's daughter-in-law searched around the farmland for a long time, but she couldn't find her daughter. She was so anxious that she called Lao Yang.

Lao Yang hurried home and mobilized relatives and friends to search around. Finally, someone found a small shoe print by the pond, so everyone suspected that Yang Shuling might have fallen into the pond.The villagers drained the water in the pond overnight, and they found Yang Shuling's body at the bottom of the pond. The small corpse was stuck upside down in the mud at the bottom of the pond like a swollen carrot.

I went to see the scene that day, tsk tsk, the little girl was usually pretty cute, but she died like this unexpectedly.

Lao Yang and his wife collapsed on the spot, and were carried back later.

Sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person is the most painful thing in life.Lao Yang's daughter-in-law couldn't bear the blow of losing her daughter, and later became a little crazy. Lao Yang didn't care about business, and his business plummeted. Now the surrounding farmlands are rented out to other people to grow vegetables.Afterwards, the old sheep and his wife didn't know where they went! "

"There are often drowning accidents in the ponds in the countryside. It's normal, isn't it weird?" I asked my aunt. After all, I lived in the countryside since I was a child, and I always heard a few cases of children drowning every year. Things are not surprising.

My aunt picked up the teacup on the table and drank water: "I haven't finished what I want to say. It's not a strange thing for a little girl to drown. The strange thing is that since the little girl Yang Shuling drowned, the pond Start haunting!"

A gust of wind blew outside the house, swirling in the hall.

It is clearly broad daylight, but we all feel a chill.

Daniu shivered, and asked in a shy voice, "Haunting...haunting? What kind of haunting?"

I frowned slightly, didn't speak, and my aunt continued quietly.

"Yang Shuling's first seven nights, the old sheep and his wife burned paper money for their daughter by the pond. Then the next day, someone found a string of small shoe prints in the mud at the bottom of the pond. The string of shoes Yin from the pond to the gate of Laoyang's house. Laoyang and the others are naturally happy when they think of their daughter returning home at night. But for the villagers, it is an extremely terrifying thing! The rumor spread quickly in the village, and rumors spread everywhere. Everyone was discussing the return of the dead soul, and the rumors became more and more mysterious. From time to time, some villagers claimed to have seen the dead soul of Yang Shuling, which made people panic. Later, the village The committee also came out to refute the rumors, saying that the whole thing was a prank. Hehe, a prank? Who is so full that he ran to play this kind of prank? Everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. This thing is absolutely true!"

Just as Daniel was about to open his mouth to say something, the aunt waved her hand: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet!"

My aunt is also a chatterbox. She usually rushes in and out of the pig house, and there is no one to accompany her to talk all day long. Now that someone listens to her chatter, she can't wait to pour out all the things she knows.

"The more terrifying thing is yet to come. There is an old Li Tou in the village. He is a drunkard. He has to go out to drink every day. One night, he ate wine, which must have strengthened his courage. This old Li Tou dared to drink from the Yangjia pond Go home over there.

No one knows exactly what happened that night, but the next day people found Old Li head fainted in the mud of the pond, still spitting white foam from his mouth.

People sent Lao Litou to the hospital for first aid. After half a day, Lao Litou woke up. People asked him what happened last night.

From then on, Old Li head went crazy, telling everyone that he saw a ghost, and saw a little girl wearing a flowered dress and braids beckoning to him, asking him to play with her under the pond.

do you know?On the day Yang Shuling died, she was wearing a floral dress with two braids! "

Speaking of this, my aunt shivered herself.
