So the two old men took Xiao Hei to the river at night.

As soon as Xiao Hei arrived in the river, he seemed to release his nature and turned around in circles in the water over and over again.

Because the small pond could no longer accommodate his huge body.

Xiao Hei circled in the river for a long time and was reluctant to leave.

"Go ahead, Blackie!"

The old man and the old lady waved their hands with tears in their eyes.

Xiao Hei raised his head, bowed three times to the two elders, turned around, splashed water, and swam straight to the middle of the river.

The two old people returned home wiping their tears.

At the beginning, when the old lady missed Xiao Hei, she would go to the place by the river where Xiao Hei left and call out to him a few times. Xiao Hei would then swim over happily and let the old lady touch his head.

A few years later, the old lady came and called him several times, but Xiao Hei only appeared once.

In the years that followed, the old lady would go to the river with her cane to call Xiao Hei, but it never appeared once.

Even so, the old lady would always ask her husband to support her to the river to call a few times on its birthday every year.

Finally, the old lady's health deteriorated day by day. When she was dying, her seven daughters came back with their children to see her off for the last time.

With her last breath, the old lady couldn’t close her eyes.

"Mom, are you waiting for Xiao Hei to give you a ride?"

The eldest daughter asked her mother while wiping her tears.

The old lady nodded with the last bit of her strength, stared at the door, and slowly closed her eyes.

The old man was put into the coffin and four people carried him slowly down to the ground, ready to cover him with soil.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, rolling up a dark cloud, and there was thunder and lightning, and heavy rain poured down.

The entire farewell team hid in an empty house nearby.

Suddenly a long roar was heard, and people saw in the light of lightning a black dragon flying from the distant sky. Yes, it was not a snake, but a dragon.

The dragon slanted down and slowly stopped in front of the old lady's coffin. It used its huge body to surround the old lady's coffin.

After a long time, it took off into the air again, circled in the air for a few circles, and flew to the place where the two elders had released him. It opened its mouth wide and shot three times from that place with its long tongue.

From then on, this place was called Black Dragon Pond.

This is the origin of the Black Dragon Pond.

My grandma and I walked all the way to the edge of Heilongtan, and my grandma put down her fishing net.

In fact, the so-called fishing net is made by tying two thick bamboo poles together in the middle to form a cross shape, with the front end of the pole marking a corner of the fishing net.

A long wooden stick with a thicker texture is tied in the middle with a longer rope. My grandmother usually puts the earthworms she dug into a small net bag she sewed herself.

Tie it in the middle of the fishing net, stand guard by it, and pull up the net every once in a while. In fact, a fishing net like this can only catch medium-sized or small fish, and the chance of catching a big fish is very slim.

After my grandma put down the fishing net, I had nothing to do but stare at the calm river surface. Suddenly, I noticed a small black shadow twisting in the river, circling around the fishing net from far away.

"Grandma, it's Xiao Hei!"

When the little head popped out of the water, I exclaimed

That round little head and round little eyes looked towards us. After this period of contact, I named the little black snake Xiao Hei.

When Xiao Hei heard what I said, he swam towards us happily, rolled over in the water a few times, and then circled around the fishing net from far away.

Grandma smiled widely, ignored the interaction between Xiao Hei and I, and focused on watching the movements in the fishing net.

Suddenly, grandma picked up the long wooden stick in the middle and lifted it up suddenly.

"There's a big fish!" Grandma shouted excitedly.

I saw that the fishing net my grandmother lifted was heavy in the middle and had not yet emerged from the water. There were several big fish in it, as well as many medium and small fish.

Grandma had never caught such a big fish before. Because there were so many fish, it was a bit difficult for her to lift it. She almost slowly dragged the fishing net to the side.

My grandma and I took great pains to put the big fish into the fishing bag we brought. The smaller fish filled half a bucket, and then my grandma lowered the fishing net.

At this time, the little black fish in the water turned around a few times happily, and then raised its round little head out of the water, seemingly with a smile on its face.

"Thank you! Xiao Hei!"

Grandma looked at Xiao Hei and said softly.

Xiao Hei was happy and swimming around in the water. Those big fish must have been driven into the net by Xiao Hei.

Grandma sat quietly on the ground again, waiting for the fish to enter the net.

I was a little bored, so I walked towards the Black Dragon Pond not far away.

Walking to the edge of Black Dragon Pond, I carefully looked at this Black Dragon Pond, which is regarded as the Eye of Death by the villagers.

It looks very ordinary, with a diameter of about five meters, half of it is close to the shore and the other half is connected to the river.

However, the water in this circular pit is connected to the water in the river, but they are clearly separate.

There were green water plants growing in the river, but there was not a single water plant in the Black Dragon Pond. The water was also very clear, but when I looked down, I couldn't see the bottom. The bottom was an eerie black color, and I couldn't help but shiver.

There are many wooden stakes inserted densely on the edge of the Black Dragon Pond near the shore, and some of them are tied with ropes of varying ages.

Perhaps over the years, the villagers have built a barrier to prevent people from falling and dying.

There are some burnt and unburnt incense sticks stuck in the ground in the middle. They may be used to sacrifice to the people who drowned here, or to worship the black dragon!

I lowered my head curiously and looked at the bottomless pool carefully. Suddenly, my vision went dark and my feet slipped.

I actually knocked over the wooden stake and fell into the Black Dragon Pond with a splash, splashing water with a bang.

The moment I fell into the water, I felt the coming of death. I choked on the water several times. I struggled desperately, stuck my head out of the water, and shouted:

"Xiao Hei, save me!"

Then I felt something pulling my feet and pulling them down hard. I kicked my feet desperately to break free, but my head still gradually sank.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed beside me. It wrapped its black body around one of my arms and slowly dragged me out of the Black Dragon Pond. I gradually lost consciousness.

I don’t know how long it was before I slowly woke up. The moment I opened my eyes, what appeared before my eyes was my grandmother’s wrinkled and tearful face.

"Feng'er, you're finally awake!"

Grandma choked up.

"It's okay, grandma, I'm okay, right?"

I sat up and gently wiped the tears off my grandma's face. "Grandma, I won't dare to do it again next time! Can you forgive me?"

I felt very guilty. My grandma had worked so hard to raise me to this age. If I really had drowned, she would have been so sad.

"Today is all thanks to Xiao Hei! If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be able to get up!"

Grandma looked at Xiao Hei, who was sitting next to me, with gratitude.

I also looked in the direction my grandmother was looking. Xiao Hei just blinked his eyes and didn't move. There seemed to be a look of worry in his eyes.

Seeing that I woke up, its eyes widened and suddenly brightened up. I nodded at it to show my gratitude.

Seeing that I was fine, grandma put away the fishing net, picked up today's catch, and took me home with unsteady steps.
