Wang Xiaoliu'er immediately became energetic and quickly pressed down on his big fishhook, holding his breath and concentrating.
Looking at Mr. Wang again, he took out his hand slowly, and with the sound of wings flapping, he actually caught a white bird!
Wang Xiaoliuer looked down and was startled.
By the light of the flashlight, Wang Xiaoliuer recognized it at a glance. There was actually a white swallow in Mr. Wang's hand!
Generally speaking, swallows are black, but the one held by Mr. Wang is white!
In an instant, Wang Xiaoliuer understood that this was the "Pearl Swallow" recorded in ancient books!
This is a strange natural phenomenon. In modern terms, it is the product of genetic mutation.
The swallow itself is an ordinary swallow, but for some reasons, this kind of swallow is white when it is born.
Just like in a zoo, two ordinary tigers may give birth to a tiger that is always white.
Ancient books say that among about ten thousand black swallows, there will be a white swallow. The color of the swallow is like a pearl, and its eyes are red. Therefore, this kind of swallow is also called "Pearl Swallow".
.
According to legend, mirages like to eat swallows. The mirage spits out poisonous mist and creates illusions, essentially to lure the swallows to come.
However, ordinary swallows are not fatal to mirages. What really makes mirages obsessed is this kind of "pearl swallow". There are even records in ancient books of this kind of thing leaping out of the water to prey on it.
However, pearl swallows are not something that is easy to obtain. If it had not been found, Wang Xiaoliuer would have gotten one and used it as bait!
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoliu'er couldn't help but admire Old Mr. Wang with admiration!
"Master, is this a swallow??"
"Um."
Mr. Wang took out a pair of small scissors from the sheepskin pocket next to him, and with a few strokes, he cut off the swallow's feathers. He cut off most of the back feathers in a routine, but left a little bit.
, after making some gestures, he handed it to Wang Xiaoliuer, "Take it!"
Wang Xiaoliu quickly took the swallow over. The swallow was chirping and had a pair of sharp little mouths, and it viciously bit Wang Xiaoliu's finger.
It hurts a little, but it's okay. Its fur is standing on end, and it's quite temperamental.
"Sir, are you trying to catch something in the water with this swallow?"
"No."
Mr. Lao Wang took out a small medicine bottle from his bag and poured out a small pill. Immediately, he took out a small piece of dough and wrapped the pill in the dough. After kneading it a few times, he used
The small stick was placed on the swallow's mouth, and when it wasn't paying attention, it was stuffed into the swallow's mouth with a swish.
The swallow's little eyes widened and he wanted to vomit it out, but it was already too late. At this moment, another huge bubble rolled up on the surface of the water with a gurgle!
When Old Wang heard the sound, he turned his head and stared at the water. At this moment, Wang Xiaoliuer suddenly discovered that grandpa's eyelids were actually red!
He applied some dark red stuff on his eyelids!
Damn it!
Corpse mud!
This is the "corpse mud" recorded in ancient books!
According to legend, applying "corpse mud" on your eyelids can open your eyes and communicate with others!
Oh my god, it turns out that grandpa is really no ordinary old doctor!
He really has the ability to "hold back treasure"!
However, Wang Xiaoliuer is also quite curious!
He wondered how his grandfather, who was always afraid of ghosts, dared to open his eyes and look around! What if he really saw a ghost?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Mr. Lao Wang suddenly spreading his hands and motioning to Wang Xiaoliu'er to give him the swallow. He then followed, bending his waist, and moved little by little towards the water, "You stay here.
Don't go forward!"
Wang Xiaoliu'er nodded sharply and tilted his head attentively. He saw that Mr. Wang tiptoed forward for a while and waited for a while until he was three or four meters away from the bubble.
The moment another big bubble rolled up, he suddenly threw his hand!
With a whoosh, the swallow fell straight towards the place where the water was surging!
"Crack!"
The swallow's wings were damaged and it couldn't fly, so it immediately fell to the water!
It was so choked by the dough it just made that it spread its arms and lay on the water, but it didn't move!
Slowly turning half a circle with the current, then flopping and crawling towards the shore.
But it was not good at swimming, so it flopped for a long time without moving much. At this moment, suddenly, there was a muffled sound!
"Pah——"
The calm water surface suddenly exploded into a huge splash, and at the same time, the swallow disappeared in an instant!
Disappear out of thin air, disappear instantly!
Instead, there were huge waves rushing in all directions!
Wang Xiaoliuer almost jumped up. Both his grandfather and grandson were staring straight at the water!
"Master! It ate the swallow!"
"No rush."
As Mr. Lao Wang said, he squatted aside and lit the cigarette pot.
The two of them waited quietly without speaking. After a breath, almost a stick of incense passed. Suddenly, there was the sound of rushing water above the water, as if something was moving towards the shore.
It's like crawling away!
It was so scary in the middle of the night. The hair on Lao Wang's head stood up, and he looked over subconsciously for the sound. He saw the reeds moving and moving, as if something was walking through it!
"Xiao Liu'er!"
Mr. Wang subconsciously called Wang Xiaoliuer.
Wang Xiaoliu'er was not afraid at all. He blinked his eyes and said curiously, "Here he is!"
"What happened just now?"
When he saw his grandson next to him, Mr. Wang's frightened expression became slightly less frightened, but he still looked wary.
"It seems like something has landed."
Wang Xiaoliu'er said, shaking his flashlight in the direction of the sound, "How about we go over and have a look?"
"Don't move."
As Old Boss Wang said, he pulled Wang Xiaoliu'er. He was obviously a little weak, but he still looked serious, "Let's go!"
"Walk?"
"Um."
"Then, that thing in the water!"
"It's okay, I can't run away. Come back at dawn."
Old Boss Wang said and patted Wang Xiaoliu'er. Although he was still a little worried, Wang Xiaoliu'er still listened to his grandfather and went ashore with Old Boss Wang.
Mr. Wang hung the oil lamp on the handlebar and rode the scooter. Along the way, he kept turning his head and looking around. Even if he didn't say anything, Wang Xiaoliu'er could see clearly.
Just now, I don't know what happened, it may have brought back some bad memories for Mr. Wang.
He himself was quite puzzled.
What the hell just happened?
Judging from the way the reed moves, it must be not very small, and it's not too far away from the two of them.
I estimate that the distance is only about twenty meters.
Oh my God, wasn't there something that had been quietly staring at the grandfather and grandson just now, but they were completely unaware of it?
Suddenly, Wang Xiaoliuer also felt a chill on the back of his neck, which made his hair stand on end.
That big blister is not a place to rest. Ever since the pseudo-expert from above blew up the ancient bridge the year he was born, according to legend, many weird things have popped up down here.
.
For example, Wang Xiaoliuer saw with his own eyes that a villager put down a net and caught a big catfish two to three meters long. The big catfish had a blue-black back, a white belly, and its mouth was full of dog teeth.
, there is also a strange-looking "word" on the forehead!
As soon as it came up, it startled the villagers who caught it. Unfortunately, the big fish was trapped in the net and could not get out, and it had already suffocated to death.
As a result, the eldest brother who caught this thing fell ill as soon as he came home. He had a high fever that wouldn't go away. He was so feverish that he started talking nonsense and even got startled.
When his family asked him what was wrong, he said that he could always see an old man in a hat leaning against the skylight of his house, staring at him with a sullen face from above.
When his family members heard this, they were all furious and asked him what the old man was like.
He said that the old man was wearing two-color clothes, dark cyan on the top and white on the bottom, and little red shoes.
The family asked the old man what he looked like. He said that the old man had a dead face, a long beard, and was bare under his chin. He also wore a melon-skin hat with a strange looking figure in the middle of the hat.
The "word" is exactly the same as the one on the old catfish's head!
When the family heard this, the more they thought about it, the more terrifying they felt. They quickly found an expert to see it. As a result, various legendary gods who could "see things" either couldn't understand it or were too scared to say a word. In the end,
He didn't even say why.
At that time, the family was desperate, so they came to see Mr. Wang. Maybe they were anxious, so they brought all the patients.
But by chance, Mr. Wang was not at home at that time. When Mr. Wang came back, no one was there.
It was said that when he died, the person was swollen, with blisters-like things all over his body, and there was a faint fishy smell that only belongs to dead fish.
Of course, although this thing looks very evil, it is far from the most evil. At least, in recent years, there have been many things that are more terrifying than the big catfish. Among them, the children in the village
Things that have left a big psychological shadow are those famous "river drifters"
What are "river floats"? Simply put, they are dead bodies floating in the river.
There is actually nothing scary about dead bodies. What is scary is the kind of "river float" that has been dead for many years and has never been fished out, and then still stays underwater.
According to the local elders, this river drifter is not an ordinary dead corpse. Rather than being a kind of dead corpse, it is better to say that it is a kind of "water ghost", because they not only like to drag people into the water, but also like to drag people into the water.
They could even "cut boats". At that time, boats on big rivers often became heavier and heavier halfway through and could no longer move. It was probably because of this thing.
