Thinking of this, a surge of anger suddenly arose, and I used all my strength to kick the water ghost as hard as I could.
The water ghost who should have been extremely powerful in the water was actually kicked away by me. Taking advantage of this moment, I quickly sent the child to the shore.
Many adults had gathered on the shore. When they saw the child, they quickly stepped forward to pick the child up.
Seeing that I was still in the river, they all stretched out their hands and wanted to give me a lift.
Just when I wanted to go up, there was a violent tug on my feet, and my whole body fell out of control and fell into the water.
The river water in the sky swallowed me up, and her hair wrapped around my body so tightly that it was almost suffocating.
After struggling in the water for so long, I really had no strength left, and the child had been saved, so that was it.
I gave up struggling, slowly closed my eyes, and allowed my body to sink deeper and deeper into the water.
The darkness in front of me slowly surrounded me.
At this moment, I heard the sound of falling into the water, and then there was a burst of light, and a very warm hand suddenly grabbed me.
When I regained consciousness, everything around me was dark, and I could only smell waves of water.
"Back...back..."
An indistinct voice came from my ears, but the next second, I felt a sharp pain in my face. All the smells and sounds disappeared instantly, and my body consciousness quickly returned.
I opened my eyes suddenly and stared blankly ahead.
"woke up?"
A familiar voice came, and I turned around and saw that Bai Tian was sitting next to me with her legs crossed. Her hands raised showed that she was the one who attacked me just now.
I was about to talk to him, but he shushed me and told me to shut up.
She stretched out her hand and patted my shoulder twice. The chill that had enveloped me quickly receded like the tide, and my body became much warmer.
"I know what you want to say. If you want to solve this matter, it's very simple. First, you have to understand the origin of the person under the water."
I went to college in the town for so many years and didn’t know much about what happened in the village.
Nai Sitting aside sighed, with a sad look on his face, as if he knew something.
"It's also a sin. The one in this lake is your Uncle Zhang's wife."
Uncle Zhang is a well-known drunkard in our village. His family background is very poor. He found a daughter-in-law from nowhere. He scolded and beat her every day. Finally one day, the little daughter-in-law couldn't stand it anymore and jumped into the fast river. .
"Water belongs to Yin and can gather souls, but the souls who died in the water cannot easily come ashore. Over the years, the resentment has become stronger and stronger, and it is easy to cause a lot of troubles. Grandma Shangguan, do you know the tomb of this little daughter-in-law? Where is it?"
Nai shook her head: "I didn't know how many men who knew how to float were sent down, but they couldn't find my little wife."
He didn't speak during the day. He lowered his head and thought for a while, but didn't speak.
My body's ability to recover is very strong. After a day's rest, I can jump again.
When I was sleeping at night, I felt the sound of footsteps walking around me, which scared me and opened my eyes immediately.
During the day, he stood beside my bed and looked at me with a half-smile: "Let's go."
"Where to go?" I rubbed my eyes, looking confused.
"Help you solve your problem."
During the day, I was brought to the river. The night added a lot of mystery to the river. The sound of the rushing water sounded like someone calling my name gently, which made me boldly explore forward.
Getting closer and closer to the river, every cell in the body relaxes in an instant, as if returning to the mother's arms.
"What are you doing?"
A hand grabbed my clothes, and I trembled all over, realizing that if I took another step forward, I would step directly into the river.
The moon is very bright today, but the river is dark, swallowing up all the moonlight.
Not far from us, a figure stood straight in the river. She was wearing a red dress, and her long wet hair covered most of her face, revealing a swollen and white face and a pair of eyes without pupils. Eye.
She stared directly at us and slowly sank into the river.
"Did you see her location? Find a boat and pick up her body."
The villagers in Tangfang Village are very simple. They park their boats on the river bank and tie them up with simple ropes so that villagers in need can use them at will.
Tian Tian and I got on the boat, held on to the oars, and carefully rowed towards the place where the female ghost dived.
Halfway through the row, the boat seemed to be blocked by something and could not move forward.
During the day, he calmly took out a small bottle from his arms and dropped the liquid in the bottle gently, and the boat instantly returned to normal.
"Okay, you jump down."
I reflexively wanted to nod, but realized something was wrong, and made a grimace: "Me again?"
Bai Tian gave me a look of disdain: "Whether it's you or me, we can go back now if we don't want to."
"Okay, okay, I'm going down now."
Unable to resist the daylight, I could only take a deep breath and jump into the water.
The water was freezing cold, almost suffocating, and I searched underwater for a long time.
I couldn't hold my breath anymore and was about to float up. Suddenly a hand came out from the ground and grabbed my foot tightly.
My eyes widened and I started struggling wildly, my chest felt like it was exploding.
Suddenly, a scene I had never seen before appeared before my eyes.
The woman was pressed on the table, she was screaming crazily, and the man showed his ferocious face and laughed at the woman's incompetence.
The picture flashed by, and then, the woman was lying on the ground with injuries all over her body, and the man, still looking ferocious, punched and kicked her.
The desperate woman swam along the river bank, letting the river water completely submerge her step by step.
I am obviously a bystander, but like a person involved, I can deeply feel her sadness.
A swollen face suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and she opened her mouth: "Back, back."
The powerful thrust pushed me out of the water. I clung to the sides of the boat and gasped for air.
Seeing me coming out, Bai Tian quickly reached out and pulled me out of the water: "How's it going?"
I didn't say anything. After feeling some strength, I took off my coat and put it on the water.
Strangely enough, the coat that was floating on the water suddenly sank.
After waiting on the shore for a while, a body covered with my coat slowly emerged from the water.
"Come up, come up!"
I was so happy that I quickly punted the boat to get close to the body, and worked with Bai Tian to salvage her.
"This female corpse wanted to go home, but all her clothes were bitten off by fish and shrimps, so she was too embarrassed to come up."
Bai Tian looked at me with a strange expression: "How do you know?"
