This is something I heard from my colleague Ah Feng, which happened more than ten years ago.
At that time, Ah Feng was only six or seven years old and lived in a small village.
Ah Feng has many brothers and sisters, and the house at home is not enough to live, so Ah Feng goes to his grandparents' house to sleep every day.
The two houses are not far apart, about a few hundred meters apart, and there is a pond in between.
It was a summer evening, it was relatively late, and after Ah Feng finished dinner, it was about ** o'clock, and it was completely dark.
After Ah Feng put down his rice bowl, he wiped his mouth, didn't dare to delay, greeted his parents, and walked out of the house with a flashlight.
Ah Feng walked east along the road, came to the edge of the pond, and continued along the path by the water.
There were a few locust trees planted by the pond, and the weeds were overgrown under the trees, and when they came to the side of a bush, suddenly a night breeze blew from behind.
Ah Feng suddenly felt that the hairs around his body stood up, and he couldn't help but shiver.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of a strange child behind me:
"Ah Feng!”
Ah Feng was stunned when he heard this, he turned his head in response, and at the same time shone the flashlight backwards.
But when he saw a child appear behind him, his head seemed to be wrapped in a mist, and he couldn't see his true face clearly.
The child wears a white vest on his upper body and a blue pair of shorts on his lower body.
The child seemed to have just crawled out of the water, barefoot, and his clothes were wet and dripping with water.
Ah Feng was taken aback, he was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he involuntarily stepped back, and asked with a stammering mouth
"Who are you?".Don't come here!”
The headless child continued to press towards Ah Feng, and a shrill strange laugh came out of his mouth, and he said while laughing
"Ah Feng, let's go into the water and play for a while!Come here!”
The voice was extremely terrifying, and Ah Feng's trembling trembles when he heard it, his feet were unstable, and he suddenly fell to the ground.
The headless child smiled and approached Ah Feng step by step, but there was no sound under his feet.
Ah Feng's eyes widened in horror, and a sharp cry came out of his mouth
"Don't come here!"Don't come here!”
The shouting alarmed the dogs of the nearby residents, and suddenly a dog barked and the headless child disappeared in an instant.
Seeing this, Ah Feng got up and ran to his grandmother's house.
The beam of the flashlight was swaying on the ground, the nearby dogs were still barking wildly, and Ah Feng ran desperately towards his grandmother's house.
He could only hear the night wind whistling in his ears, the pounding of his heartbeat in his chest, and his legs moved numbly, not daring to delay for a moment.
Ah Feng sprinted forward without looking back, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet night.
Ah Feng ran into his grandmother's courtyard gate in one breath, walked through the courtyard, and stumbled into the door while calling out to his grandparents in his mouth.
The grandparents got up in response, watched their grandson rush into the house panting, and sat on the ground again, they were frightened, and hurriedly helped him up.
The grandparents comforted Ah Feng while asking what was going on, and Ah Feng said it intermittently.
Grandma listened, gasped, and said in a trembling voice:
"The kid in the backyard neighbor drowned in the pond last year, and he was wearing that at the time, it seems that he wanted to drag our grandson into the water and use him as a stand-in!”
When Ah Feng heard this, he was even more afraid, he grabbed his grandparents' hands, and asked eagerly with a crying voice:
"What can I do then?”
Grandma pondered for a moment and said
"Don't be afraid, it's good that you didn't see his head, it's okay, I'll burn some paper money for him tomorrow, so that he won't come to your trouble again!."”
After that, the grandparents coaxed Ah Feng with good words and gradually put him to sleep.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Ah Feng's grandparents went to a nearby town to catch the market, and they forgot about burning paper money.
After Ah Feng returned home, he soon developed a fever, and his parents somehow took Ah Feng to a small clinic in the village.
Three days after Ah Feng took injections and medicines, there was still no effect, and the neighbors saw that Ah Feng was burned unconscious, so they persuaded them to go to the half-immortal to have a look.
Ah Feng's parents couldn't, so they had to go to the half-immortal's house, and the half-immortal said
"Your son has been entangled by a water ghost, it doesn't matter, just go to the pond and burn some paper money!”
Ah Feng's parents did as they said, and immediately went over to burn paper money, and the original creator Song Haoran. Ah Feng also quickly subsided his fever.
Afterwards, Ah Feng's grandparents didn't see their grandson come to sleep at home for a few days, and only then did they learn that their grandson was sick, and they sighed that they had a poor memory and almost killed their grandson.
After this incident, Ah Feng's parents built three more matching rooms in the courtyard, and Ah Feng had a place to live, no longer had to go to his grandparents' house to sleep, and never encountered strange things again. Article**, if there is any infringement, contact to delete immediately.
