I really don't want to be a teacher

Chapter 489

"Xiaoying girl, wait a moment, I'll answer the phone."

After looking at the caller ID, Lian Ge smiled and said something to Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the phone.

"... Hang up, your mother-in-law will be back soon, I have to go and clean up the bowls after dinner, or your mother-in-law will be nagging again."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying heard that Lian Ge had something to do, she sat up straight first, and then took the initiative to say,

"Okay, then I'll call you back later." Looking at Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the video call, Lian Ge smiled again.

"That's fine, if you forget, hehe..."

While talking, Gu Xiaoying hung up the phone while holding the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

……

"... buzz, buzz."

After finishing the call with Gu Xiaoying, the room became much quieter, only the phone was still ringing.

Turning his gaze, and then looking at the caller ID, Lian Ge connected the call.

"...Little song,"

"Second uncle."

It was the second uncle of the Lian family who called. As soon as the phone was connected, the second uncle's voice rang,

After turning on the speakerphone, Lian Ge responded.

"...Xiao Ge, you are still outside... that tour, where have you been?"

Second Uncle Lian's voice rang again on the other end of the phone.

"Cha City. In Southern Guangdong Province."

In response, Lian Ge asked again.

"Second Uncle, what's the matter with you?"

"……Um……"

Hearing the sound, Second Uncle Lian paused for a moment, and then said aloud,

"Xiaoge, see if you can come back..."

"...Boom!"

"...Oops... why did you hit me, old man..."

"...You press that for me... Turn up your voice... At such an old age, you talk endlessly..."

On the other end of the phone, Second Uncle Lian hadn't finished speaking when he seemed to be hit, and then, a little further away, Grand Uncle Lian's words sounded,

"...Old man, come here, let's talk, I'll turn on the speakerphone for you..."

It was Second Uncle Lian's voice again, followed by the phone being switched on for hands-free, where it was placed, the voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little noisy.

"...Second Uncle Lian, can I trouble you to turn on the video call too... so that Master Lian can see the situation here, so we can talk to Master Lian..."

Another middle-aged man's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"...Okay...Xiaoge, can I make a video call?"

Uncle Lian on the other end of the phone answered, followed closely, and said to Lian Ge on the other end of the phone.

"Row."

Lian Ge stretched out his hand and turned on the call camera. Immediately afterwards, the picture on the other end of the phone also appeared on the screen of the phone, appearing in front of his eyes.

Putting the phone on the table in front of him, Lian Ge glanced at the other end of the video call.

On the video call,

It was in the courtyard of Grand Uncle’s house, the mobile phone was placed on the stone table, and a few people crowded in front of the mobile phone beside the stone table,

The great uncle leaning on a stick, and the second uncle Lian who moved aside, standing beside the great uncle, a little cautious, a middle-aged man standing with his hands folded, an old lady with a hunched waist and an embroidered padded jacket, a Standing beside the old lady, a young man with half of his body out of the range of the camera.

On the top of the yard, there is a thread, and an incandescent lamp is hung, and the light is swaying downwards, illuminating the yard and the people in the yard,

It's just that the camera of the mobile phone is facing the incandescent lamp, which makes the figures of several people under the lamp a little blurred.

"Second uncle, turn the phone around and change the direction."

Looking at it, Lian Ge calmed down and said aloud,

"...Let me see...Okay, I will turn the camera around..."

On the other end of the phone, Second Uncle Lian, who was driving aside, walked forward, looked at the screen in the video call, and reacted, holding the phone, turned around the round table, and turned a little bit towards the place with his back to the light past.

The great uncle who was originally in the range of the camera screen leaned on a stick and slowly walked towards the back of the round table. The somewhat cautious man followed the direction of the camera and turned around, always in the range of the camera screen. The old lady He also followed closely, moving to the side step by step, and the young man who was outside the range of the camera disappeared into the range of the camera,

"...Xiao Ge, this should be fine."

Uncle Lian adjusted the direction of the phone while looking at the picture in the camera.

Turning the phone to the direction of the backlight, Second Uncle Lian stepped aside again.

Nodding his head, Lian Ge glanced at the other end of the video call, the picture was much clearer,

After the mobile phone was stabilized again, Grand Uncle walked up to the mobile phone again on crutches.

The somewhat cautious middle-aged man was still standing beside the great-uncle, with his hands folded, he bent over nervously, lowered his head, and looked at Lian Ge on the video call.

The old lady in the embroidered padded jacket seemed to be in her seventies, her messy hair was grey, and the skin on her face was sagging.

The hands with two deformed fingers were tightly squeezed and clenched, his face was a little haggard, his eyes were a little red, and he was hunched over, looking at Lian Ge on the video call,

And the young man didn't seem to follow the phone around to this side, and was still outside the screen.

"...Xiao Ge, this is not far from us, the village head of Quhe Village, the head of Qu Village."

The great uncle paused while leaning on the stick, then turned his head to look at the somewhat reserved middle-aged man, and then introduced a sentence to Lian Ge.

"Village Chief Qu."

Lian Ge nodded and greeted him.

"...Master Lian, Master Lian just call me Laoqu."

Some cautious middle-aged men hurried forward half a step when they heard the sound, then stopped and said aloud.

"... When you went out, Xiao Ge, you said that I could call you if there was something... After you went out, many people came to look for you. I want to ask you to host a wedding or a wedding..."

Grand Uncle leaned on a stick and paused again, looked at Lian Ge and said,

"...I followed your wishes and asked your second uncle to push these things away for you... This time, Village Chief Qu and his village encountered some things... It's not the first time, When I came here before, I thought it was not good to disturb you. You were outside, and it would be troublesome to come back, so I didn’t call you... Village Chief Qu and the others came a few times, and I also listened to them After this matter is over, they have nothing to do... I'll make the decision and let your second uncle call you. I'm sorry to trouble you. "

Lian Ge shook his head slightly when he heard the words of the great uncle on the other end of the phone.

"If the great uncle has something to do, he can ask the second uncle to call. If there is any trouble, don't bother."

The great uncle nodded when he heard the words, and didn't say anything more.

"...Then let Village Chief Qu and the others tell you the story...the two next to you are the ones who are responsible."

After saying something again, Grand Uncle leaned on a stick and moved his feet to the side to get out of the way.

Listening to the voice of the great uncle on the other end of the phone, Lian Ge nodded, then turned his gaze to look at the people on the video call screen,

And when the great uncle was talking, the young man who had disappeared from the screen because he moved his phone before came back to the screen again,

This time, not only half of the young man's body is in the picture.

Standing beside the old lady, the young man also bowed his head and remained silent.

"Mr. Qu, please tell me."

Glancing at the young man next to the old lady, he slightly shifted his gaze, and then looked away. Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man again, and said in a calm tone,

"...Master Lian..."

The middle-aged man responded first, then opened his mouth again, hesitant to speak but stopped,

But in the end it was said,

"... Our village is haunted by ghosts..."

Chapter 490 Water

On the other end of the phone, after the middle-aged man said something, he fell silent again.

In the yard, it became more and more quiet.

On the other end of the phone, Lian Ge listened, glanced at the middle-aged man, didn't say much, just waited quietly.

"...Master Lian, our village is called Quhe Village. Except that most people in the village are surnamed Qu, there is also a big river in the village called Quhe."

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, then bent down, and continued talking to Lian Ge on the video call,

"...The people in our village, for generations, have lived by this river from generation to generation. They built roads and houses along the river. Our village was built along this river. , until now, it’s always been like this... washing clothes by the river, using the water from the river to irrigate crops, and watering the fields. Before, when there was no pressure or pumping of wells, water was taken directly from the river to drink ...The previous ancestors also built a small river temple by the river, and from time to time, people from the village would go to offer incense, and when passing by, go in and make a bow..."

While talking, the middle-aged man raised his head slightly, and fell silent again.

"...but at this moment... in the village, let alone washing clothes by the river, there is really no other way. If you want to cross the river, it is far away...in the river ...the water ghost..."

Slowly lowering his head again, the middle-aged man showed some fear in his eyes, as if he saw something, his whole body trembled slightly.

Next to the middle-aged man, listening to the middle-aged man's words, Second Uncle Lian and Grand Uncle Li stood aside, not saying much,

The eyes of the old lady in the embroidered padded jacket became even redder, while the young man stood at the edge of the picture, still bowed his head and remained silent.

Glancing at the middle-aged man, the old lady, and the young man on the other end of the video call, Lian Ge listened without saying much.

On the other end of the phone, it became even quieter.

……

"... At that time, it was more than two months ago, it was still in autumn... In those few days, it rained non-stop, and it was dark all day long... That day, it was getting dark... After a while, the rain finally stopped. Although the road was still wet everywhere, the villagers also opened the door, either busy with dinner, or sweeping the leaves, mud, and some children in the yard. Ah, I finally waited until the rain stopped and ran outside to play... I was also sweeping the yard in the yard, thinking that if it didn't rain the next day, I would take out the millet in the house to dry it to avoid mold It's..."

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, then continued to speak, his eyes were looking in front of him, a little absent-minded, as if responding,

"...At this moment, a little doll in the village, not far from my house, a child from another family in the village, a seven or eight-year-old doll, ran from the end of the village crying I came back... my whole body, my whole body was soaked, my hair was still covered with mud, my clothes were still stained with mud, and the shoes on my feet had all fallen off. I cried and shouted all the way... as if scared When I arrived, I called him Mom and Dad... All the villagers came out of the house when they heard the noise. I was sweeping the yard, and when I saw that the baby was in a bad condition, I hurried over and asked him what was wrong. That little baby was crying so much, and was also terribly frightened. His whole body didn't know whether it was from fear or the cold, but he just trembled and couldn't speak. He just called his parents... a few families next to him. People from all over the world also ran out, looked at the little doll, and said that it fell into the river... I also hurriedly asked him what happened, did he fall somewhere... At this time, this The little baby was finally able to speak, crying and twitching a little, saying that a little baby who went to play with him at the end of the village fell into the river... When I heard this, I hurried to the river with my life. Running in the direction of the end of the village, several villagers followed..."

"... By the time we ran to the river... we couldn't see any movement, and we couldn't see the child anymore. We could only see that the river was still covered with sand after it rained. The water is fast and deep... the steps leading to the river are half submerged, and there is still a half-remained plastic toy water gun on the steps..."

"... At this time, the little baby's parents also dragged the little baby and rushed over again. Seeing that there was no movement on the river, they dragged the child and beat them. While beating and scolding, the mother couldn't help it. Stop crying, that child didn’t cry, no matter how much his mother beat him, he was still depressed... Let’s just drag and talk about the matter, it’s already like this, and beating the child won’t help..."

While talking, the middle-aged man fell silent again,

"...Then, the parents of the little baby who fell into the river also ran over in a panic... Seeing the movement in the river, seeing the people standing by the river, they also reacted...then Mother, she fell to her knees on the ground all of a sudden, and while crying, she yelled towards us and into the river, yelling for help, help people... so the father, he suddenly He took off his shoes and jumped directly into the river... but that child... has already been washed there by the river..."

"... That night, I found some people in the village, along the river with his parents to find...On the second day, I found the little doll dozens of miles away from the village... When I found it, the little doll had already floated up from the bottom of the river, and Biegen was caught on a branch of a tree that fell down from the river, so it didn't continue to be rushed down... The hand, still pinched Look at the less part of the plastic water gun, the part that pours water..."

The middle-aged man was talking, then paused, his eyes were a little absent-minded,

"...Later, ask the little doll who is still there, and then I will find out what's going on..."

"...In our village, the small river temple was built at the end of the village. There were people living there before, but later they all moved out, leaving only an open space and the river temple. During the summer, there are still people drying food there, and some little dolls in the village also like to play there.

Those two little dolls are also neighbors, and they usually like to play together.

That night, as soon as the sky cleared, the two little dolls ran out of the house. When they ran out, the parents at home told them not to run far and not to play by the river... A little doll, in the blink of an eye, he ran to the open space at the end of the village.

At the beginning, I still remember to remind, I didn’t go up to the river, I just took a toy water gun, and played in the open space beside the river temple... But I was playing, and there was no water in the water gun ...the two children forgot their parents' warnings, and ran to the river to fill the water gun... As a result, it rained and the water rose again. In addition, there were not many people living in that place, and not many people came from there. Going down the steps, the steps are full of mud and moss, the child slipped under his feet and fell directly into the river..."

The middle-aged man said, fell silent,

On the other end of the phone, a few people were listening, but also a little silent.

On the other end of the phone, Lian Ge didn't say much when he heard the voice, but just listened quietly.

On the other end of the phone, the courtyard became more and more quiet.

……

"...Here, it's still nothing, but slowly...things are starting to go wrong."

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man raised his head and continued.

As he spoke, there was some fear in his eyes, and he couldn't help trembling slightly.
