The so-called "mirage", also called "mirage", actually refers to a strange natural phenomenon, but the so-called "mirage" originally refers to a "castle in the air" that can only be seen but not touched.
Historical records say that at the mouth of the river, there lived a strange creature that could breathe clouds and mist, creating an illusion like pavilions. Swallows wandering in the air saw those pavilions and wanted to build them on the eaves.
If a swallow makes a nest underneath, it will take the initiative to move forward. However, those pavilions are all fake. As soon as the swallow falls upward, it will fall over. Taking this opportunity, the "mirage" lurking under the water will suddenly jump out and bite the swallow.
Swallow.
This is a trap that lures prey to your door automatically.
The name of the trap is "Phantom".
Although "mirage" is just a legend, it has appeared many times in the long history.
The most famous one is undoubtedly the "castle in the sky" seen by Qin Shihuang during his eastern tour.
It is said that Qin Shihuang was obsessed with immortality and longed for immortality. Everyone thought Qin Shihuang was delusional, but they didn't know why Qin Shihuang was like this.
According to historical records, Qin Shihuang once saw pavilions and pavilions hanging between heaven and earth when he was cruising to the East China Sea. There were "immortals" walking and laughing on them. The first emperor mistakenly believed that the towers in the air were where immortals lived in ancient legends.
One of the three fairy mountains, he sent the alchemist Xu Fu to the sea twice.
Of course, people today are controversial about the description of this period of history. Some people believe that history books are history books and there is no need to over-interpret them. Others believe that based on the records at that time, the castles in the air that Qin Shihuang saw must be legends.
"Phantom" in .
As for whether this "phantom" is real or not, no matter how much you argue, there is no evidence, but today, it seems that Wang Xiaoliu'er has doubts in his heart.
He has always thought that whether it is a "mirage" or a "mirage", it is a strange natural phenomenon based on optics. But the problem is, what if, what is recorded in the ancient book that Grandpa has packed is true?
,then, is there really another explanation for this matter?
Wang Xiaoliuer couldn't help but think deeply.
You must know that there are countless bizarre legends in the history books of the pre-Qin period, and there are even more bizarre legends that happened to Qin Shi Huang. As the most legendary ruler of that era, Qin Shi Huang himself was a legend. Talking about this first emperor,
There seems to be no shortage of topics. If such a legendary figure really met a legendary "big clam" on the coast of the East China Sea, then this matter would not be so unacceptable.
"never mind."
Thinking about it in his mind, Wang Xiaoliu'er didn't have too many suspicions about this matter. However, Wang Xiaoliu'er was quite curious about what this "mirage" that usually only appeared in legends looked like.
He counted on his fingers, one day yesterday, one day today, and one day tomorrow.
That is the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth days of the lunar calendar.
These three days can basically be regarded as what is commonly known as the "full moon night". It is true that on these days of every month, he can see those "female ghosts" bathing in the river with their bare buttocks.
This means that he still has two days to figure out the "mirage" in the water, and by the way, he has time to completely deal with it before Wu Guangcai attacks Chen Lu.
Wang Xiaoliuer summed it up, turned around and left. He went back to the village and went directly to the blacksmith uncle. He spent a long time here and spent 20 yuan of private money to get there.
I asked him to hit him with a hook.
The hook was about the size of a fist, and the hook strips were as thick as a little finger. Wang Xiaoliuer made some gestures and felt that this thing could almost catch that thing, so he skipped home.
When I got home, I found that my grandpa didn't seem to be back yet. He had been preparing until the evening. Wang Xiaoliuer finished his dinner and waited until about nine o'clock in the evening. Then he sneaked to the edge of the pond alone. He didn't
He made a sound, quietly, and tiptoed over. As soon as he entered the path next to the dam, he suddenly discovered that there was a small wooden cart with a donkey riding backwards parked on the side of the road.
This is a tricycle modified from a bicycle. The car is at the back and there is a bucket in front. Wang Xiaoliuer took a quick look and felt very strange. He quickly walked down the side of the tricycle. Here, there was a bucket that had just emerged from the grass.
I turned my head and took a quick glance, and saw an old man wearing a straw hat squatting in the grass by the river in the big moon field, staring attentively at the seemingly calm water.
He was motionless and it was extremely difficult to spot him unless he looked carefully. Wang Xiaoliuer looked carefully and was shocked!
Isn’t this his grandfather, Mr. Wang?
Mr. Wang’s only weakness is his fear of ghosts!
Generally speaking, unless necessary, do not go out easily after dark!
But this time, he actually went out, hiding alone in such a haunted place in the middle of the night!
This is obviously a very strange thing!
However, Wang Xiaoliuer was not surprised at all, because he knew most likely the purpose of grandpa coming here.
"Master..."
He tiptoed down from above, touched Old Wang's side, and gently poked Old Wang's head with his finger.
Mr. Wang was staring at the water attentively and didn't feel anyone coming. He was stabbed diagonally by Wang Xiaoliu'er with his finger. He trembled in fright and turned around with a look of horror on his face!
Wang Xiaoliu'er was also startled when he saw Mr. Wang.
In the meantime, under the moonlight, two dark things were hanging on Mr. Wang's eyelids. A sudden look would make people tremble!
"Xiao Liu'er?"
When Old Boss Wang saw Wang Xiaoliu'er, he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to see the fun!"
Wang Xiaoliuer laughed naively and lowered his voice, "Sir, why are you here in the middle of the night? Are you here to see the female ghost taking a bath?"
"Go aside!"
When Mr. Wang heard this, he quickly glared at Wang Xiaoliu'er, then turned his head and stared at the water, "Xiao Liu'er, didn't you say that you can always see several women bathing in the river in the middle of the night?
Er! Let me ask you, are you near here?"
"almost."
Wang Xiaoliuer squatted aside and nodded hurriedly, "Sometimes, it's up there, sometimes it's down there, basically it's always around here."
"That's right."
Mr. Wang said, pointing to the water, "Xiao Liu'er, can you still see those women now?"
"Out of sight."
Wang Xiaoliuer sniffed, "I saw it yesterday, but today it's gone."
"You came yesterday?"
"Um."
Wang Xiaoliu'er nodded and lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday, I didn't see so many, I just saw one, and I went into the water."
"Then what?"
"Then I saw the woman in the water, so I went over. I hugged her from behind, but when she turned around, I was startled."
"Shocked?"
"When I saw her face, it was Sister Chen Mei! I was so scared that I ran away, but I didn't run away. I was dragged into the water by something. Fortunately, some combination of circumstances caused me to run away, otherwise,
It’s really dangerous.”
Wang Xiaoliu'er touched his nose and looked at Old Boss Wang. Looking at Old Boss Wang again, his face changed slightly and he was surprised.
Wang Xiaoliuer blinked his eyes, suddenly raised his hand and patted his face.
There was a "pop" and it hurt.
"What are you doing?"
Mr. Wang was startled.
Wang Xiaoliuer coughed dryly, "Ah, it's okay, there's a mosquito!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Wang took off a bead hanging around his neck and handed it to Wang Xiaoliu'er. Wang Xiaoliu'er took it and saw that it turned out to be the bead that his grandfather had picked out from the centipede's head a few days ago.
That bead!
He was stunned, "Master, what is this?"
"Hang this around your neck and mosquitoes won't dare to come near you."
"real?"
Wang Xiaoliuer hurriedly hung the beads around his neck. Not to mention, the mosquitoes that were flying around in front of him immediately dodged away as if they were avoiding the plague.
Wang Xiaoliuer blinked his eyes, and suddenly felt that this thing was really amazing!
At this time, I turned to look at Mr. Wang, only to find that Mr. Wang was still staring at the water!
"Grandpa, what are you looking at?"
"There is something in this water."
"Is there something?"
Wang Xiaoliu'er pretended not to understand, looked at the mist-shrouded water, and whispered, "Sir, did you see anyone in the water?"
"No. Did you see it?"
"I didn't see it either."
Wang Xiaoliu'er said, moved forward, looked down, and saw a small birdcage on the ground.
The birdcage was not big, and it was covered with black cloth. When I kicked it with my foot, there was a rustling sound inside, as if there was something there.
"Master, here..."
"Shh-"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Mr. Wang and Wang Xiaoliuer made a silent gesture, and then stretched out his hand to hold Wang Xiaoliuer's shoulders. The old man and the young man were both short.
He lowered his body and looked toward the water.
"Gudong."
As the water surface floated, a big bubble floated up, and then flipped over on the water surface. In an instant, a stream of white smoke like boiling water also spread from the tumbling place!
Old Boss Wang was startled and quickly picked up a towel to cover his nose. When he turned around to look, he saw Wang Xiaoliuer also covering his nose with a towel!
Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment. He didn't have time to think too much. He turned around and looked over. At this moment, there was another muffled sound on the water surface, and another big bubble popped out of the water surface!
"Coming!"
The two of them lowered themselves down at the same time. Just when Wang Xiaoliu'er reached out to touch the hook, Mr. Wang had already pressed down on the cage covered with black cloth, and then lifted up the black cloth.
