Thinking of this, my heart relaxed a little.
But gradually, I felt something was wrong.
No matter which way I walked, the woman behind me followed me slowly. If I was fast, she would be fast too.
After walking for so long, it stands to reason that we should have seen home, but the surrounding scenery is still the same.
Is this a case of hitting a wall with a ghost?
Thinking of what I had experienced during the day, I immediately stopped and did not dare to go any further, for fear that there would be a big pool in front of me.
I glanced behind me out of the corner of my eye and saw that the girl who was following me had disappeared at some point.
A heavy cold sweat slowly fell from my forehead.
Suddenly, I remembered what my grandfather told me before. If you encounter a ghost trying to break the wall, just let go of the scolding, let out your anger and curse, and the yang energy will be strong, and you can break it.
All these years of studying outside were not in vain.
I opened my mouth and cursed all the curse words I knew. I screamed so loudly that my throat hurt from the curse, and then I closed my mouth without finishing my words.
The stagnant air around me seemed to be slowly flowing. My back ached, and the pool next to me made a splashing sound. I turned around and saw a pale face appearing on the water.
Most of his face was covered by black hair, and only one dull eye was exposed. He glanced at me unwillingly and slowly sank into the pond.
Damn, I couldn’t have been spotted by a water ghost.
Grandpa told me that among all the ghosts, the water ghost is the least to be offended, because anyone he targets will definitely become his substitute.
If you want to avoid them, you have to stay away from water sources, but how can people stay away from water?
My face turned pale and I quickened my pace home.
Maybe my dirty words worked, but this time, I got home safely.
When I was sleeping at night, in the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened by the sound of water drops. My body could not move, but I could feel a cold gaze always staying on my body.
I tried all my strength to open my eyes, but under the strong impact of sleepiness, I still fell asleep.
But when I woke up, I found a puddle of water on the ground beside my bed.
I sat on the bed for a long time, all I could say was swearing.
Could it be that what I had yesterday was not a dream?
Am I really being targeted by a water ghost?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
Then he quickly got out of bed and went to find his grandma to ask about his whereabouts during the day.
Unfortunately, grandma didn't know anything about her whereabouts during the day. She only knew that when she woke up, there was only a hundred-dollar bill and a note on her bedside.
It clearly states that the money is to thank us for taking care of her during the past few days. She has to go out for something, and she doesn’t know when she will come back.
I was a little discouraged. There was only one responsible uncle in the village. I used to have a good relationship with my grandfather, but in the past few days, he went to the city to take care of his pregnant daughter, and I didn’t know when he would come back.
There was no other way. In order to survive, I tried my best to stay away from water sources for several days. I didn't even dare to take a shower!
After that, every night, I could feel someone standing next to my bed, staring at me. When I woke up in the morning, there would be a puddle of water next to my bed for no reason.
The days became more and more depressing. I didn't take a shower for several days, and my body was filled with a stench.
I didn't dare tell my father and grandma about this, for fear that they would be worried.
But they couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that I stayed at home every day and didn't go out, they tried every day to let me go out and breathe fresh air.
Under their coercion and inducement, I really had no choice but to help my grandma go to the canteen at the entrance of the village to get some soy sauce to take home.
I held the empty soy sauce bottle that my grandma gave me in my hand, and carefully observed the surrounding environment, especially when I was about to pass by the river in the village. I was like a frightened bird. Any disturbance would scare me to death.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
There were whining sounds coming from the haystack, and I looked towards the haystack curiously.
A puppy, completely black and without a trace of fur, was lying on the ground, with a lot of blood flowing from it. It gently licked the wounds on its body with its tongue.
The puppy noticed me and became alert instantly, growling in its throat.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to help you."
I whispered to comfort the puppy and slowly moved towards him.
I don’t know if he really understood what people said, but the puppy didn’t seem to be so resistant to my approach.
I took out a tissue from my pocket and carefully wiped his wound.
Because of the pain, it kept whining.
It’s funny to say that as a medical student, after I graduated, the first person I treated was not a human, but a dog.
After bandaging the wound, the puppy stood up from the ground tremblingly, nodded to me twice, as if to thank me, and then slowly got into the grass.
The puppy's blood stained my white sneakers that I had just washed. I wiped them several times but couldn't wipe them off, so I had no choice but to give up.
I picked up the soy sauce bottle on the ground, went to the canteen, finished the soy sauce, and ran home quickly.
But this time, I encountered another thing.
"Woooooo! Is there anyone? Help! Someone fell into the water!"
The sound of a child crying was heard not far away.
I thought something bad was going on in my heart, so I quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
The child's crying became louder and louder, followed by the sound of splashing water.
A child was struggling in the turbulent water, and several children were helpless and crying on the shore. They asked them nothing but answered.
Seeing that the time for the children in the river to surface was getting shorter and shorter, I didn't care too much. I threw away the soy sauce bottle in my hand and jumped into the water.
I swam hard towards the child and finally managed to catch the hem of the child's clothes with all my strength.
But no matter how hard I pulled, I couldn't move the child. I plunged into the water and took a look, only to find a bunch of water plants tightly wrapped around the child's ankles.
I returned to the water, took a deep breath, and slowly untied the water plants that were entangled with the child.
There was a sudden dull pain in my back, and the feeling of being stared at came again.
My brain also twitched, and I looked to the side. Next to another bunch of water plants nearby, a pale face appeared. His hair was flying in the water like water plants, and his soaked and swollen face looked at me in surprise.
Like a pervert spying in the dark!
I took a breath and a large amount of water poured into my mouth instantly.
The violent choking sensation made me drink several sips of water. I quickly held my breath, endured the feeling that my lungs were about to explode, and quickly dragged the child to the shore.
This is definitely my fastest ever.
But halfway through the swim, my legs were tightly wrapped around by a force.
I knew it was the water ghost. I struggled wildly in the water. The child in my arms had stopped moving due to lack of oxygen. If this continued, he would really drown.
