At this moment, a beam of car lights came towards us again.
A silver-gray Volkswagen car rushed toward the lake at lightning speed. We all stood up in fright, thinking that the car was out of control.
Fortunately, the car stopped with a click about five or six meters away from us.
The car door was pushed open, and an angry middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, got out.
As soon as he got off the car, he shouted to the lake: "Yang Zhan, Yang Xiao..."
I thought to myself, it’s really lively tonight, someone is here again, and this person seems to be looking for someone.
Suddenly, the young man next to him stood up and said, "Oh, let me go. I'm here. Most likely, they heard that I was dating a girl here in the middle of the night, so they came to block me. Damn it, I have to run away quickly."
Only then did he realize that it was him that the middle-aged man was looking for.
The young man was about to run away. I picked up a stone and threw it at his back. He let out an ouch and fell to the ground.
I said: "Why are you running? People like you should let me teach you a lesson."
How can he be a good person if he asks a girl to play by the lake in the middle of the night?
When the middle-aged man heard the noise here, he immediately ran over. He held a large flashlight in his hand, and the light shone directly in our eyes.
Soon, the light locked on the young man.
"Yang Zhan, is that you?"
The young man covered his eyes with his hands and shouted dissatisfied: "Stop taking the photo, stop taking the photo, your eyes will be blinded."
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was his son's voice.
"You're not dead yet, I'm scared to death."
But immediately the middle-aged man became angry. He raised his finger and pointed at Yang Zhan and cursed loudly: "You little bastard, how many times have I told you? Never come to the edge of Long Lake. You just don't listen. If you dare to go on a date with a girl here tonight, I think you won’t give up until you die, so I’ll beat you to death for this useless thing.”
As he said this, the middle-aged man went up and beat the young man randomly.
The young man was beaten until he cried for his father and mother.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting. You only have a son like this. If he is beaten to death, the Yang family will be extinct."
Seeing that the beating became more and more severe, I quickly stepped forward and grabbed the middle-aged man.
"Uncle, calm down and teach him a lesson. Don't really beat him to death."
The middle-aged man gasped and stopped.
It seems that he heard about his son meeting a girl here in the middle of the night, so he hurried over.
The middle-aged man was so angry that he sat down on the stone next to him.
Using the light of the flashlight, the female Taoist priest immediately saw the middle-aged man's face clearly. She said in surprise: "Is it you? Are you Yang Guoping?"
The middle-aged man was stunned and looked up at the female Taoist priest.
"You, you know me? Who are you?"
The female Taoist priest said: "What a coincidence. You are the leader who was responsible for building the artificial lake back then."
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, his face changed drastically.
"You, who are you?"
The female Taoist priest said: "Don't worry about who I am? In order to investigate Ah Shui's affairs, I found you many times. After all, you were the leader responsible for building the artificial lake. You must know the inside story, but you kept hiding behind closed doors. , I have no choice but to give up.”
"But I didn't expect to meet you here today."
"Although you haven't met me, I have found out all the information about you, and I have also seen your photos. Even though you have become a bit older after so many years, I can still recognize you at a glance. about you."
Xia Qingqing and I were also surprised. It turned out that Yang Guoping was the leader back then.
Since he is the leader, he must know what happened back then.
"Perhaps this is God's will, Yang Guoping, you can't hide anymore today, can you? When you built the artificial lake, you dug out a transparent coffin and found a girl with a Binghuo life to sacrifice, so that this situation was calmed down. The thing is, that girl is Ah Shui, right? Is she dead? "
Yang Guoping's face turned blue and yellow.
"I, I don't know."
"You didn't say so?" The female Taoist priest became a little angry. She walked over and pulled Yang Zhan over.
"Take a good look at your son. If we hadn't been here tonight, your son would have been killed by Ah Shui."
"Yang Guoping, after that incident, you quit your engineering construction job and moved again just to avoid this incident. But do you think that's the end of it?"
"Over the years, Ah Shui has turned into a ghost corpse and harmed so many people in the form of a photo ghost, including your son. It's just that your son was lucky and was rescued by us."
"This is retribution..."
"Stop talking, stop talking." Yang Guoping seemed a little collapsed and fell down on the stone again.
"I know it's retribution, retribution... I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well since that incident, and I've been suffering to this day. I really can't bear these days anymore."
"I really didn't expect that the girl named Ah Shui would turn into a photo ghost and harm people, and even harm my son."
The female Taoist softened her tone.
"Yang Guoping, I know you had no choice but to do that. The reason why I want to know the inside story is not because of curiosity, but because we want to solve the matter."
"Because more people will die if this matter is not resolved, so if you still have any conscience, tell us exactly what happened back then."
Yang Guoping let out a long sigh, held his head in his hands, and said after a long time: "Okay, I'll say it."
Yang Guoping said that when they built the artificial lake and started digging the pit, they did dig out a transparent coffin more than ten meters away.
That incident was particularly evil at that time. The coffin was actually transparent, and there was water in the coffin, and there were fish in the water. However, the coffin was obviously sealed. Logically speaking, it was impossible for oxygen to enter. Since there was no oxygen, how could there be fish inside? Is it alive?
The most bizarre thing was the corpse inside. It was wrapped tightly in cotton and linen. It was impossible to tell whether it was male or female. Judging from the shape, the corpse should not be rotten.
When Yang Guoping found out about this, he felt something was wrong and wanted to dig out the coffin and find a place to rebury it, but the coffin refused to leave.
He had no choice but to ask workers to bury the coffin again. But how could the dug-out coffin be buried back so easily?
At that time, he heard a crazy old man say that there was the Water Goddess in the coffin. If they dug out the coffin, it would disturb the peace of the gods, and they would definitely not let them go.
And then, as expected, a mist spewed out from the coffin, and several workers died.
The crazy old man added that he had to find someone with a Binghuo life to sacrifice to the Water Goddess in order to appease her anger.
Sacrifice? To sacrifice a living person, that is a human life.
