Traditional paragraph water ghost vineyard

Looking for adoption, I don't know if it's right

There was an old man Liu, known as Liu Laosan, who planted grapes in a sandy field by the river, and in order to prevent the grapes from being stolen when they were ripe, Liu built a hut by the river, where he himself and his companion lived during the night time. The story begins here.

Water ghosts are legendary drowned ghosts, because they are drowned, they can not be immediately reborn in the sun, and need to wander in the Yellow Springs for three years before they can be reincarnated. The appearance of the water ghost is said to be very tall, big red face, spitting green tongue, only one leg, in the water da da da da bouncing. The water ghost lives in the water and waits for the year to come to an end and pulls down the person walking along the water's edge, drowning him or her to turn him or her into a water ghost, so that he or she can be reincarnated.

And this year there are a lot of people say that the water in the river this year is surprisingly rapid, for fear that it is hidden inside the water ghosts to scourge pedestrians. Liu Laosan half-believe, although other people say quite evil, but they can not put a garden of grapes in order to make a living. As long as you and your partner are careful, there should be no problem.

One night when Liu Laosan stayed in his hut, he heard the wind whistling outside, eerie, Liu Laosan closed the door tightly, ready to not go out in any case. But Liu Laosan ate unclean things during the day, upset stomach, he is a bear again and again, and the wind outside, blowing the trees snapping, as if the ghosts cry wolf howling, let a person shudder. But Liu Laosan see really can not hold, and to go to the convenience of the place is in the river bank from seven or eight feet away from the tree, Liu Laosan thought he is out of this trip, go back quickly, what is the movement of their own do not care, anyway, just this time, out of the blue.

Liu Laosan took the draft paper, pushed open the door and jogged to the tree under the tree, is ready to facilitate it, just listen to their ears behind the "oo ~ ~" wind sound is not right, think carefully, is the whirlwind. The wind sound gradually tight when you hear behind the river water flow turbulence, the sound of running water is getting louder and louder, almost to sound more than three miles, through the moonlight can also see the water is getting higher and higher, higher than the river bank more than half a zhang, and listen to a click, from the elevated water surface cracked out a slit, the slit is getting bigger and bigger, from the inside of the sound popped out of a tall humanoid thing, a jump on the river bank. Liu Laosan hid behind a tree, through the moonlight to look carefully, see popped up something one-legged, tall, face red, spitting out a green tongue, eyes and ghost fire like, with the legend of the water ghost exactly the same. This is the rise of the water surface and click, from inside another water ghost popped out. The two water ghosts popped a few steps towards the tree, sat on the ground, took out their wine sacs and drank.

Liu Laosan at this time high nerve tension, the whole body stiff, want to go can not go, at the same time heard the two water ghosts talking, so listen up.

One of the water ghosts said: "Big brother, you can return to the sun tomorrow, congratulations."

The other water ghost said: "Yes, brother. Brother also wandering in the yellow spring road for three years ah. Happy today."

The little water ghost said: "But big brother, you have survived three years, but I have just begun. You so go, brother also happy for you, we at least still brothers. But in the future, when I have been reincarnated, I won't be able to find you in the sea of people. This brotherhood between us is broken." He said, sighing repeatedly.

The big water ghost said: "Brother, on the basis of our love above, brother can not leave you alone. Although the sky can not be divulged, but at this time only you and I, this matter can also tell you. In tomorrow morning at noon, the east end of the well, will come to a young man in his twenties to fetch water, he was wearing a straw hat, hair, the left side of the face has a mole, the left leg is still crippled. That's him, don't you remember wrong. He went to that well to fetch water at noon, you lurked in the well first, and when he tied the bucket on and threw it into the water, you pulled him down and drowned him by a tug on the bucket, so that you could return to the sun. Meanwhile don't forget to go to the Judge and ask where I've been reincarnated, then you can go to me and we'll be good again."

The little water ghost was overjoyed and toasted the big water ghost. Liu Laosan's side was listening to their conversation clearly. At this time, Liu Laosan was no longer so nervous, and felt his pants wet, it turned out to be that he was scared to pee. He did not dare to stay here more, a trot back to the shed.

After entering the house, Liu Laosan closed the door tightly, and took a long breath, while also recalling the words of the water ghost, the east end of the city, at noon, twenty years old, cloaked hair, the left side of the face has a mole, the left leg of the limp, and he thought, it is not his nephew. That said, his sister's family is counting on this nephew to make money to support the family, thank God, Liu Laosan knows about this, he can never watch his nephew go to his death ah. I have to go to stop him. After making up his mind, Liu Laosan looked at his sleeping partner and went to sleep.

The next morning, Liu Laosan said to his wife: "My wife, I dreamed of my sister yesterday. She said she was not well. I'm afraid she really got sick, I'll go see her today." My wife said, "Then you go. Liu Laosan went into the city, and did not go to his sister's house, but went straight to the well at the east end of the city. He waited here patiently.

Waiting for a long time, in the fast approaching noon, hit the distance did come to a person, twenty years old, hair, left leg limp, the left side of the face and a mole. But Liu Laosan carefully look, this is not his nephew ah. Could it be that he worried too much? The young man did not care about the side of Liu Laosan, to the well stopped, ready to play water. Liu Laosan heart for a while torn, whether to save or not to save it, this young man also has a family, right, also he to support the family, right. If he dies, how can his family half it. The young man's movement is quick, he tied the bucket, just want to throw the bucket down, said when it was too late, Liu Laosan embraced the young man, at the same time, shouted: "everyone quickly come to see ah, this young man is not generous ah. Borrowed my money for so long are not returned, let me this old man can how to live ah." While shouting, he dragged him to the side. The young man also struggled, not clear what is going on. Liu Laosan once looked at a quarter past noon, sent away the young man, said to him to borrow a step to talk. The two came to the side of the road, Liu Laosan will hear yesterday's one and a half said out. The young man was shocked and delighted, and thanked Liu Laosan again and again: "You are my savior, my parents, I will never forget your great kindness." After saying this, he invited Liu Laosan to his home for dinner. Liu Laosan politely declined. The first time I saw this, I was able to see it.

In the middle of the road, Liu Laosan was also hungry, so he entered a tavern and asked for two pounds of beef, some cakes, and a pot of wine. Eating suddenly found a Taoist priest standing in front of him, made a bow at Liu Laosan, while saying: "Immeasurable Heavenly Father." Liu Laosan returned the bow, while asking: "Taoist priest, what is your business?" The Taoist priest said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Father. Can you reward the poor Taoist with a meal?" Liu Laosan readily agreed. He asked the Taoist priest for beef, roasted cakes and wine. The Taoist priest was not polite, and ate cleanly, just like a hungry ghost. The Taoist finished eating a careful survey of Liu Laosan alarmed, shouted: "Shi master, you are going to be in big trouble ah!" Liu Laosan was very surprised, the Taoist priest will Liu Laosan how to eavesdrop on the water ghosts speak, how to save people said really, Liu Laosan is even more surprised, the Taoist priest said: "Poor Taoist is also practicing some years, the first five hundred years after five hundred years, the poor Taoist finger counting, but also can be a little bit of knowledge. But the monk, you this disaster is inevitable ah. You have spoiled the good things of the water ghosts, they will definitely come to ask for your life." Liu Laosan was also panicked, so he asked the Taoist priest, saying, "Master, you have to save me!" The Taoist priest said, "Master, the poor Taoist is not a person who sees death and saves lives, besides, you also rewarded me with a meal. Stretch out your left hand." Liu Laosan stretched out his left hand, and the Taoist monk dipped the handle of his duster into the wine and wrote the character for thunder on the palm of Liu Laosan's hand and said, "This is called Zhentian Lei. Tonight at midnight, those two water ghosts will surely come to make things difficult for you. You have to call your partner back first, let her sleep at home, can not go to the vineyard until three poles of the sun. When those two water ghosts come, you can use this thunder to shock the water ghosts. I can't help that the poor Taoist's training is still shallow, so I can't shock the water ghosts to death. If you want to save your life, you have to escape from the vineyard and run to the south, no matter who shouts at you, you can't turn back. When the sun comes out, I will surely make that water ghost's soul fly away." Liu Laosan thanked him profusely and left the tavern.

Liu Laosan went back to the vineyard and told his partner, "Boss, my friends heard that I was bored with the grapes here, so they agreed to bring some food and wine to see me. We have a few big men have food and drink may be very late, so simply sleep here. It's not convenient for a woman like you to be here, so you should go back to sleep. We get up late again, so you'll come back here at sunrise." Hearing this, the old companion packed up and went back. Liu Laosan sat by himself in the shed and waited, his heart bursting with fear. Constantly looking at the palm of his hand, and afraid not to have any accidents, apprehensive. I want to sleep a while, but I was too scared to sleep, so I prayed to the Buddha in my heart. In a daze, Liu Laosan also fell asleep. I do not know how long, Liu Laosan heard a click outside, he woke up with a jolt. He also heard the sound of two rows of bouncing outside the house, and his heart was in his throat. The clattering sound got closer and closer, followed by the door opening with a huo, jumping in two water ghosts with red faces and green tongues, shouting, "Old piker, take your life!" Liu Laosan although afraid, but also remember the words of the Taoist priest, a bright left hand, click, accompanied by a burst of dazzling light, the two water ghosts were chopped to the ground, Liu Laohan without saying a word, jumped up, grabbed the door and fled, ran out the door all the way to the south playfully frantic. Behind him came shouting: "Old man, where to go! You bad my good, take life!" Liu Laosan did not dare to turn back, all the way is to run.

After running for a long time the sky gradually brightened, Liu Laohan still did not stop. Finally the sun also came out, Liu Laohan only stopped, thankful to save a life. This stop can be improper tight, even stand can not stand up, Liu Laosan paralyzed on the ground, covered with pins and needles like. Look around is the middle of nowhere, Liu Laosan also tired to the extreme, fell asleep.

This sleep will sleep until the late afternoon, Liu Laosan up after hunger, slowly back to walk. When I walked into the vineyard, I realized that something was wrong, before the vineyard is green from a distance, you can also see bunches of grapes, but now it is bare. Closer, I saw the old woman sitting on the ground crying: "Old man ah, how do you see this ah. All of our grapes have been stolen!"

What is a water ghost? It turns out that the water ghosts, young people and Taoist priests have teamed up to cheat this Liu Laosan!
