From a geographical point of view, the reservoir in front of me is definitely the location of the entrance corridor that I imagined.

However... in such a large reservoir, the chances of blindly diving into the water to search are slim. Even if everyone goes into the water to search, without professional equipment, it is not easy to dive underwater to find the hole.

Just when Jiang Shan was frowning and thinking about a solution, behind a dirt bag on his side, a little boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, driving a few old scalpers, came towards the reservoir.

Seeing the people in Jiangshan by the reservoir, the child was stunned for a moment, then looked a little panicked and shouted to the people in Jiangshan: "Uncle, stay away from there..."

Jiang Shan slapped his forehead, feeling depressed... He was called uncle when he was barely twenty years old.

Jiang Shan, who smiled bitterly, turned around and frowned at the child, and said with a helpless smile: "Call me brother..."

"Oh...you are here for tourism, right? Stay away from the water and don't go into the water!" The child pursed his lips, made a grimace, and drove the three old cows to the edge of the pond.

A rope was pulled out from under a big tree by the reservoir. The child quickly put a rope around the old cow's neck and drove one of the cows toward a small platform made of gravel beside the reservoir.

passed.

The position of the rope was just high enough for the old cow to stand in front of the platform. When he leaned over, there was water in front of him. It was not easy for him to move forward even half an inch.

"Ah... little brother, you made the rope accurately..." Jiang Shan hugged his arms and joked with a smile.

"Haha..." The child smiled brightly, his face was dirty and he looked naughty.

The child picked up stones from the pond and threw them into the water with all his strength. At the same time, he wrinkled his little nose and explained to Jiangshan: "Many people have died in this reservoir... The water ghost is looking for the scapegoat."

, many people died when they went swimming in the water! Even the old yak in our village was dragged into the water, which is much better..."

Jiang Shan looked at the child in shock, shrugged and laughed in disbelief: "Water ghost? Haha... did your parents tell you?"

When Jiang Shan was a child, he always went to the beach to take a bath. The adults in the family would scare the children like this, saying something like a dragon king in the sea, and then arrest the children, etc., just to prevent the children from going into the water to take a bath, so as to avoid accidents.

"Really... you're still smiling!" The child pouted his mouth and emphasized unhappily.

"I won't lie... everyone in the village knows... Many, many years ago, when my grandfather was a child, people in the village washed clothes here, and several women were entrusted in! They all drowned! There were also the little dada family members.

That old yak, I watched it being dragged into the water with my own eyes! No matter how hard the old yak fluttered, it was useless. It just watched helplessly as it was pulled into the water and disappeared..." The child doubted himself when he saw Jiang Shan.

He lied, his face suddenly became angry, and he explained to everyone in the country seriously.

"Did you see it?" Jiang Shan was still a little unbelievable! How could this be possible... water ghost? Those are just folklore. Like dragons, phoenixes, and ghosts, they are fabricated and no one can confirm that they really exist.

"I saw it..." The child pinched his waist and shouted in a milky voice, imitating an adult, straightening his back.

Then his little face suddenly fell: "But I only saw that one time... When we feed the cows water, they are always tied with ropes. The little daddy doesn't believe in water ghosts, so every time we feed the cows, we just do it casually.

The baby [fluttered] inside, but... it was really pulled in and drowned one!"

Jiang Shan curled his lips and smiled. People say that children don't lie, but this child said he had a nose and eyes, but why did it feel like he was talking nonsense?

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Jiang Shan shrugged and smiled.

"There is not much to see in this reservoir. There are big fish but no one has caught a few. However, there are people fishing and they were almost pulled into the water by a water ghost!"

The more he spoke, the less reliable he became. Jiang Shan rolled his eyes and smiled bitterly.

"Anyway, I'm telling you...you'd better stay away from the water!" The child shook his little head and continued to pick up rocks and throw them into the reservoir.

"What are you doing? That's how it works!" Jiang Shan laughed, took two steps to run, jumped on the stone platform, picked up a flaky stone from the ground, and was about to demonstrate, then

The child curled his lips in disdain.

"I've been playing this since I was a kid, so I need you to teach me... I'm a water-spooked ghost, so I don't want it to be close to the water and cause harm to people!"

Hey... Jiang Shan sighed. Feudal superstition poisons children. How can any child today believe this!

"Little brother, let me tell you, adults lied to you about water ghosts! If he really had water ghosts, I would dare to fish them out and eat them! You know..." Jiang Shan hugged his arms and gave helplessly.

The child corrected his thoughts.

"Forget it if you don't believe it! Humph!" The child wrinkled his little nose and was about to leave behind a few old cows that had drank water.

"Sanbao, suck your rice... hurry up and go away, Bao Bao is talking nonsense... What are you doing by pinching people?" A woman shouted at the child from a distance, pulling her neck.

Speaking in a thick Shaanxi dialect, Jiang Shan tilted his head and smiled, raised his eyebrows at the child and said: "Go home quickly. When you grow up, you will know that those bullshit water ghosts are all lies to you...

…”

"You... look like a very stupid person. You just can't listen to the truth and are so stubborn..." The child muttered unconvincedly and drove the old cow away.

Jiang Shan turned his head and took a breath. Looking at such a large reservoir, he secretly felt worried.

Let’s settle down first and then talk about it. As for getting into the water, we need to get some funds and equipment.

After walking half a circle around the dam by the reservoir, Jiang Shan was about to take everyone away when several old people ran out of the village.

"Baby...are you here for tourism? Don't walk on the edge...it's dangerous!" An old man with wrinkles on his face shouted loudly towards the country while trotting, waving his arms.

"Huh?" Jiang Shan frowned for a moment. He turned around and saw two old men and a young man running over.

"Man, what's going on? Slow down, don't run... I'll come over!" Jiang Shan jumped from the dam to the flat ground with a smile and went up to him.

"Baby... this reservoir is dangerous! There are water ghosts, why are you running here to play! You don't want your life..." the old man sighed and said slightly reproachfully.

"If Sanwa hadn't gone back and told Er that there were people wandering by the reservoir, I wouldn't have believed it... The people in the ditch are far away from here and don't even come close..."

Jiang Shan nodded blankly, handed the cigarettes to the two old men and the middle-aged man, and asked with a smile: "Man... what kind of water ghost are you talking about? What a joke..."

"You're kidding me... I'm so old to make trouble with you? I'm still a stubborn person! Let me tell you, my nephew, several juniors in the village drowned here... I'm so old, let me tell you.

Is this nonsense?"

Jiang Shan frowned for a moment. Looking at the old man's expression, his tone didn't sound like he was joking. Could it be that there really is something strange? A water ghost? Jiang Shan shrugged and tilted his head suspiciously.
