Regarding the legend of water ghosts, Tomato is very familiar with it. To be honest, Tomato still can’t swim and has a serious hydrophobia. I usually feel a little scared when I walk by the river, for fear that something terrible will attack me.
I was dragged into the river. I used to be a good swimmer, but since I had the shadow when I was a child, I never wanted to swim again.
When Tomato was a child, he often went swimming in the reservoir not far from his hometown. It was super cool to go swimming in the reservoir with many friends who were similar to Tomato. At that time, his hometown was relatively close to the reservoir, and the neighbor's children
Many people who are my age, in the summer, especially when the weather is very hot, a bunch of us would ride our bicycles to the reservoir for a swim after dinner.
There were even times when Tomato and his friends secretly skipped class and went swimming in the reservoir while they were still in class. For this, they were often criticized by the teacher, and the teacher also told our parents, who had always forbidden us.
When we went to the reservoir, the swimmer pulled us over, picked up the slippers on our buttocks, slapped us, and made us promise not to go to the reservoir again. But we were just children at the time, and it was commonplace for us to promise and swear.
For once it was for real.
At that time, I had just learned how to swim, and could only do dog paddle, while my other companions were more vigorous than the other. The center of the reservoir was very deep at that time, it was said to be fifteen meters deep, and the water around it was very shallow.
That will be our paradise.
Many friends got tired of splashing in the water, so they tried to climb up the steps of the reservoir. Those steps were three or four meters high above the water, so they stood there and dived. I remember one time, a neighbor's child jumped there.
When I went down, my jumping posture was wrong, so my chest was slapped directly on the water surface, and I almost lost my breath.
There are many legends about dead people in the reservoir. I often hear people say that so and so drowned in the water, but every time I only heard about it and never saw it with my own eyes.
However, I did not expect that such a painful and terrible thing would happen to me soon.
At that time, there was a legend of a water ghost circulating in our country. It was said that many people drowned in the water, and the souls of these people did not ascend to heaven, but just turned into water ghosts. They were very resentful and were ready to pull them out at any time.
Those who swim above the water become their own scapegoats. And according to what the elders said, water ghosts can be divided into two categories. The first is accidental drowning, which is the soul of a dead person who died in vain. He often floats in the sea and needs to
You have to find another person as a substitute to be reincarnated. The second type is suicide. Because you have great resentment, you are very revengeful. For example, a water ghost who commits suicide for love will attack the mandarin ducks playing in the water, breaking up the good relationship to satisfy their resentment.
Moreover, the old man also told us that we should not go into the water especially on the night of the full moon, especially not on the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth days of the lunar calendar when the moon is full. Because the night of the full moon is filled with Yin energy and harmonious energy.
When the aura is at its strongest, water ghosts will take advantage of this to lure people out of the sea of misery. In addition, the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the three days before and after Qingming Festival and the Double Ninth Festival are also days with heavy Yin energy, and it is also not suitable to swim in the water.
And when I was in junior high school, I was drinking with some of my best friends. It was also the day after the Double Ninth Festival, and the weather was equally hot. We were chatting in front of a small wine stall, and as we chatted, we talked about
People drown in the reservoir every year, and all of these drowned people can swim.
At this time, the wine stall owner told us in a dark voice that it was all done by water ghosts. Every year, several scapegoats were brought in, so many people drowned in the reservoir every year. From time to time, a few friends and I were drunk.
After drinking some wine, my head was a little overcharged, so I started talking loudly and scolded the boss for bragging and talking nonsense. But when the boss heard this, he became furious and became more motivated. He made a bet with us if we dared to bet tonight.
If we swim in the reservoir, everything we spend tonight is free.
As soon as we heard, it was just swimming, and we could save a lot of money on drinks, so why not do it, so a group of us came to the steps of the reservoir drunk. The weather was very hot at the time, so we drank some more
The wine made me feel hot all over. So with a few splashes, we all jumped into the reservoir. The sudden cool water almost seeped into every sweat pore in the body. It was extremely comfortable. Just as I was enjoying this coolness
, suddenly I felt my ankle tighten, as if something unknown grabbed my ankle and pulled me violently into the deep water. I struggled desperately and kicked the thing that was holding my foot, but it was still pulled hard by that thing.
I was dragged into the water. Suddenly there was a ringing in my ears, and then there was a burst of darkness in front of my eyes. The water almost penetrated along my ears, mouth, nose, and eyes, but my eyes were squeezed by the water pressure and hurt suddenly.
, I vaguely looked down and saw only a dark mass below. Fortunately, the water in the water area was not too deep at that time. I hugged the protruding rocks on the cliffs in the water to prevent myself from being pulled down further.
.At this time, I heard loud exclamations from my friends who were coming with me, and then I felt seven or eight hands grabbing my arms, grabbing my hair and dragging me out with all their strength. Finally, everyone pulled me hard.
He was dragged out so that he was not dragged into the lake.
But I was miserable afterwards. A lot of my hair was torn out. Because I was frightened and choked in the reservoir water for too long, it took me a long time to recover. Looking back now, I can clearly feel that there was a bird like
The limbs of the human hand grabbed my ankle tightly and dragged me underwater, and the thing was very strong... Since then, my friends and I rarely went to swim in that reservoir again, for fear of
If you encounter something that terrible again, you will end up losing your life.
Later I heard someone say that the scientific name of this monster is Shuimaliu (Water Monkey). This mysterious animal that lives in rivers is an animal in Chinese folklore. From their description, we know that Water Monkey
It is a humanoid underwater animal with fur all over its body. Its characteristics are that its fur is very long and red, and its butt is also very red. It is monkey-shaped and looks a bit like a child. Cantonese people say that the scientific name of this underwater creature is Feng Shui.
Monkeys, they live on fish, but they also like to suck blood. Just like mosquitoes, they suck the blood of other creatures for certain physiological needs, including humans. I heard that many people in Maoming, Huazhou, and Chaoshan areas of Guangdong are affected by this
Water monkeys are planted to death and then suck human blood from their heels. It is said that water monkeys are extremely powerful underwater, but have no strength at all on land and cannot even fight a rooster. Its biggest feature is that it can emit a strange energy.
Chemicals can make people lose consciousness and listen to their commands, tricking people into falling into the water and becoming their prey. There are people in society who use these chemicals to confuse people and defraud them of money...
It is said that this kind of monster often lives in reservoirs and ponds that have not been drained for decades or even hundreds of years or swims in sparsely populated rivers with clear but very deep water. So if we must swim in these areas, we must not
Swim too far, don't get away from the crowd, and swim in designated swimming areas. The more people swimming, the better. Waters in remote areas with few people and few people coming to make noise and disturbance are very easy for water monkeys to take over and be dragged into the water as a scapegoat.
Therefore, if you want to swim or paddle in a certain lake, river or even a reservoir, you should especially listen to the locals or administrators and do not swim in that reservoir or river where people drown every year.
Be careful!
