After that ghost-breaking-in-the-wall incident, I became convinced of things like ghosts and elves! In today’s words, it completely changed my world view and outlook on life!

Of course, the direct consequence of changing the world view and outlook on life is that the courage becomes less and less, especially the fear of walking at night. There is a kind of fear and disgust in the bottom of my heart towards places like mass graves, old and new cemeteries.

Feel!

After some time, we had nothing to do, so we returned to our old business - catching fish, shrimps and eels! However, we only caught fish and shrimps, and as for the work of selling at the market, we left it to

Parents, elders or brothers!

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, which is more suitable for our activities. However, there are more and more people doing this, and the fish and shrimp are getting smaller and harder to catch! At the end of the day, we don’t get as much as we usually get in an hour!

There is no way to open a way, and there is no way to think of it! Goudan, Dasha and I discussed that this is not the way to go, the fish are wild, and no one can control whoever wants to catch them! The only way is that we don’t leave the village

Go to places near rivers, ditches and ponds, and choose sparsely populated, remote and desolate places!

Of course, there were many places like this before liberation when the population was small, and there was a big pond next to it. This was Duantouling, ten miles away from the village, with no village in front of it or no store behind it!

Speaking of Duan Tou Ridge, it is actually the place where criminals were beheaded and executed. According to people from the older generation, since the Qing Dynasty, that place has been the old place where executioners wielded their knives. Countless or extremely heinous crimes were committed.

Or the innocent person died there!

At that time, the main method of execution was beheading! When the executioner slashed his head, the corpses were separated and blood gushed out! I heard that many years ago, there was a man who was mistakenly sentenced to death. During the execution at Guillotine, the executioner raised his knife and dropped it.

, the man's head rolled ten feet away, his eyes were still wide open, and he shouted injustice, and the headless body, with hot blood spurting from the neck, could not fall down! Even the prison officer was scared to death...

…

As for the corpse of the criminal, if it is so heinous that no one collects it, it will be thrown into the large pond next to it. Over time, the water there will be very rich, and the fish and shrimps in it will become large and meaty, and have amazing vitality...

…

The reason why there are relatively few people catching fish there is, firstly, because it is relatively remote and it is really inconvenient in the era of relying on two legs alone; the more important reason is that it is said that half of the tank is haunted there!

The so-called half-cylinder is just a local colloquial term, referring to a corpse without a head! It is said that Huang Dafu from a neighboring village once encountered:

At that time, the crop fields near Duantou Ridge were mostly planted with long-stem crops such as corn and sorghum. Three or five people were working in the fields, but the people around them couldn't see or find them!

In the autumn of that year, the hard-working Huang Dafu went to the Guantouling cornfield to collect crops alone. Huang Dafu, who usually worked in the fields and would not stop working until dark, unexpectedly fell into a panic within an hour of going there.

I ran back, covered in dirt, as if I had lost my soul, panicked, and my eyes were dull!

Later, I heard from Huang Dafu that when he started working in the field, he heard a splashing sound not far away. He thought to himself, who is this? He went to the field earlier than me, so he walked over quietly.

After walking a few steps, I saw a man with his back to

I was looking at him, squatting there and doing something. Just when I was about to say hello, the man actually stood up. When I saw it, my God, I immediately scared two and a half souls away: that man actually had arms and legs, but he didn’t.

The head! It is also what the countryside calls a half-cylinder!

Huang Dafu took advantage of the half-tank to turn around and ran away. He fell down many times along the way. He didn't dare to look back and didn't care about the pain. He rushed to the village in one breath and realized that he was soaked all over.

, the sweat is stained with dust, covering the body like mud, and the heart beats as if it is about to jump out...

Since then, no family in the Guantou Ridge area has grown long-stem crops such as corn and sorghum. Instead, they have grown wheat, millet, and sweet potatoes. You can see far away at a glance, and no one dares to wait there alone.

Get crops!

Of course, that was a long time ago after all. Besides, there was wheat all around, you could see ten miles away at a glance, and it was broad daylight, so there would definitely be no problem for the three of us to be together!

Goudan, Dasha and I took the same guys who caught fish, shrimps, and eels, and headed towards Duantou Ridge happily, intending to catch more big fish, and exchange them for money to buy a shotgun, which would be more convenient and convenient for hunting in the future.

Brave!

It was almost noon when we got there. The three of us quickly entered the water and cooperated with each other. In a short time, we caught seven or eight big catfish, each weighing no more than five kilograms and about two feet long!

"We really came to the right place this time, there are so many big fish!" Dasha said excitedly while busy.

"Yeah, hey, hurry up, there's a big guy next to you. Okay, that's right. It's still a catfish. Where have all the carps gone?" I said while pointing.

Dasha noticed that there was a big fish next to him.

"Brother Yanzhen, if we do this a few more times, can we buy a shotgun? It would be great to have a shotgun. I have wanted to get one for a long time. It is such a good thing!" Goudan asked me while doing it.

"No problem! As long as we catch more big fish, we can get a lot of money. Then the three of us will have one shotgun each. When we go hunting, let alone pheasants and rabbits, we will encounter foxes, wolves, wild boars, etc.

Man, we can kill it too!" I encouraged Goudan!

Just when we were looking forward to the bright prospect of catching fish in exchange for money to buy shotguns, and were dancing happily, the wind blew fiercely, and the clouds were thick. This summer day, it was really easy to turn the page faster than turning the page of a book. Just now it was sunny and windy, but now

My son is so gloomy that he can squeeze out water!

"Hurry up and get the guys up. It seems like the rain won't stop. Go home quickly and come back later!" I shouted.

Before the words were finished, and before Goudan and the others came up, raindrops as big as peas fell down, and in an instant, strong winds and heavy rain hit the sky and covered the earth. The sky and the earth were covered with gray, as if it was dusk in an instant!

"It's such a bad weather, be careful, don't slip. By the way, hello, don't forget the fish here. Go back!" I wiped the rain off my face, carried the fish, and slipped with the dog one step at a time.

Dan, Dasha left the pond and prepared to go home.

Before I had gone far, I heard Goudan say to me in horror, "Brother Yanzhen, Dasha, what's going on ahead?"

I wiped the rain off my face so I could see clearly. When I looked closely, the fish in my hand fell to the ground with a thud. It turned out that there was a group of people raising their hands in the rain dozens of feet away from us.

They were jumping up and down, but the most frightening thing was that those people all had arms, legs, and bodies, but no heads!

"It's... it's... it's half a cylinder!" Dasha also saw it clearly and was so frightened that he could not speak incoherently.

The three of us just stood there, unable to move forward or retreat, our legs were shaking as if we couldn't control them, and we didn't know what to do!

The wind got wilder and the rain got denser! We stood stupidly in the rain, letting the wind blow and the rain hit us, but we couldn't move forward. The regret and fear in our hearts gradually rose...

Yes, if it wasn't for buying some crappy gun, how could we, knowing full well that there is a ghost, go to a ghost nest?

Just when we were filled with regrets and trembling with fear, there was a flash of lightning in the low sky, cutting through the rain and fog like a sword, followed by a deafening thunder! The group of half-cylinders in front disappeared in an instant!

Seeing this scene, we threw away the fish, ran away and ran home desperately...
