Especially Huang Yufen, as her time was running out, her mood also reached its lowest point.

"I don't want to live anymore. There's no point in living."

Suddenly, after Huang Yufen said this, she fell headfirst into the river.

This sudden situation scared Chen Chunhua and Huang Lingling.

The two men quickly grabbed Huang Yufen's hand and pulled her towards the shore.

"As soon as I jumped into the river, I regretted it. Chunhua and Lingling pulled me up, and I wanted to get out, but it seemed like someone was pulling my feet and pulling me into the water. Later, the three of us were dragged into the river and drowned."

Huang Yufen looked at Chen Chunhua and Huang Lingling with guilt.

"I am sorry to Chunhua and Lingling. I let them die with me."

"Yufen, this is none of your business. This is our fate."

Chen Chunhua and Huang Lingling comforted Huang Yufen in unison.

"Later, after we died and stayed in the water, we met other water ghosts who had also drowned. Only then did we realize that there are water ghosts in many places, and they change shifts every few years."

Huang Yufen continued to say to me.

"What's going on with this little yellow dog?" I asked.

"Oh, it's my pet. I usually feed it. One time when I went home to see it, it died after eating the poison that the villagers used to poison the big dog. So I brought it here."

"Have you found someone to take over your shift?" I asked again.

"At the beginning, the three of us floated in the water together. We didn't feel bored because we had company. If we saw someone fall into the river, we would help them out."

These are what Chen Chunhua said, and she paused here.

"Later, the ghosts in the water gradually found their shift replacements to reincarnate, and we also discussed that it was time to leave."

"More than a month ago, there was a little boy. Was he pulled down by you?" I asked again.

"Yes, yes." The three people looked at me a little embarrassed.

"There were two. We pulled one down, and then another came and was let go by us because only one was needed for a shift change," said Huang Lingling.

"Yeah, we've been water ghosts for more than three years, and we still think it's better to be alive than dead. There's no need to drag one more person down."

After Chen Chunhua finished speaking, she let out a long sigh.

The three of them looked at me with resentful eyes at the same time.

I understand now. Huang Ansheng felt someone pulling him back at first, but later let him go. It turned out that his three sisters felt sorry for him.

"Then was Uncle Zhao's leg bitten by Xiao Huang?"

I looked again at the little yellow dog squatting next to Huang Yufen.

"We told Uncle Zhao about the dream many times, but he just refused to take the net away. Xiao Huang got angry and bit him a few times," said Huang Yufen.

"How about this, three sisters, I'm Liu Feng from Team 6. Maybe Uncle Zhao didn't understand what you meant. I'll ask him to remove the net and put it back on after you pass."

"Okay, thank you, Liu Feng. We don't want to hurt anyone, but the net is blocking us from leaving."

The three of them spoke in unison again.

The little yellow dog seemed to understand what I said. It barked at me twice and wagged its tail.

I came out from the backyard and went to Uncle Zhao's room again.

"Feng'er, how is it? Did you see it?"

Grandma asked when she saw me come in.

"Uncle Zhao, did you set up a fishing net in the river that blocks the entire river?"

I looked at Uncle Zhao and asked.

Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhang looked at me in astonishment at the same time, their eyes wide open.

"Feng'er, how did you know?"

Of course it’s not surprising that my grandmother knew about this, but it was a bit unbelievable that I, a kid who was still in school, knew about this.

"Aunt Xu, do you know about my home's internet connection?"

Aunt Huang asked grandma suspiciously.

"I don't know. Don't be anxious. Let Feng'er finish what she is saying." said grandma.

"And three years ago, three little girls drowned near the place where you set up the net," I asked again.

"Yes, yes! Everyone in the village knows about this!" Aunt Zhang replied.

"It's like this. Uncle Zhao's net prevented the three sisters from crossing the river, so they came to Uncle Zhao in their dreams, but Uncle Zhao didn't understand what they meant, so they came to find him."

After I finished speaking, Uncle Zhao's face tightened and he spoke in panic.

“My net was stuck in the narrow ditch at the mouth of the river. No wonder I kept having dreams about three little girls and a puppy. They said I was blocking their way.

But I don’t understand, what is blocking their way? They don’t tell me clearly, so how can I know. ”

"Then, then, Feng'er, what should we do now?"

Aunt Zhang asked me timidly.

"As long as Uncle Huang removes the net for two days and lets them pass, everything will be fine," I said.

"It would be better to burn some paper money for them and some food for the puppy."

Grandma said as she looked at the teeth marks on Uncle Zhao's legs.

"Then I'll go and remove the net first, and then burn some paper money for them in the evening."

Uncle Zhao hurriedly got out of bed.

"Ouch, it still hurts!"

But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he screamed in pain again.

"Old man, you're not well yet, take a rest first, I'll ask the boss to remove the net later."

Aunt Zhang said.

Grandma also told them the precautions for burning paper money at night. Before leaving, Aunt Zhang stuffed a red envelope into Grandma's hand, and we said goodbye to them and went home.

I asked my grandma on the way home.

"Grandma, is the talisman you burned a talisman to drive away ghosts? Is the talisman you chanted a spell to drive away ghosts?"

"Yes, grandma only taught you how to draw talismans some time ago, but hasn't taught you how to chant spells. I'll teach you when I have time. It seems like you have no choice but to learn." Grandma said.

After returning home and finishing dinner, Huang Xianyong came home again.

So we went to his house without stopping. On the way, I felt a little distressed. I finally had a day's rest, but I was more tired than going to school.

As soon as I arrived at his house, I saw three more people in the main room. One of the men looked a bit like Huang Xianyong, and the other was a very small woman. They must be Huang Xianyong's younger brother and sister-in-law.

"Aunt Xu, you are finally here. My Anhua, Anhua has really, woo woo"

As soon as Huang Xianyong's sister-in-law saw me and my grandmother, she started crying before she could even finish her words.

They must have known that Huang Anhua was no longer alive. Huang Xianyong's younger brother sat in the corner with his head down, not saying a word.

"Sister Xu, you have to help us check where Anhua is now. Poor kid, it's been over a month and his body hasn't been found yet."

Mr. Huang was in tears again and spoke to us in a hoarse voice.

"Well, we'll ask him later and we'll find him," grandma comforted.

When I entered Huang Ansheng's room, he was lying there weakly again. I touched his head and found that he had a fever again.

Grandma didn't come in with me, and she stopped everyone else outside, so she let me in alone.

In fact, as soon as I came in, I saw Huang Anhua standing beside the bed. I ignored him at first, but he continued to pull Huang Ansheng with all his might.

"Huang Anhua, stop dragging your feet. Huang Ansheng won't go with you."

I touched Huang Ansheng's head, then suddenly raised my head and spoke to Huang Anhua's ghost.
