Dreaming of 1988, I have the ability to see ghosts and ghosts

The young man swung his right leg, pedaled his bicycle and disappeared into the moonlight.

I heard their conversation in the room, immediately got up and asked hurriedly.

"Grandma, where have you been? Have you eaten?"

"Oh! Feng'er, you haven't slept yet. Don't worry about me. Go to bed early! You have to go to school tomorrow."

Grandma said as she put down what she was holding.

"Grandma, I'm not sleepy. What happened? Where are you going tomorrow?" I asked.

"It's okay. It's just that the village has been in a hurry to pump water to irrigate the fields and grow seedlings these days. I don't know what happened to the village's water pump house. It can pump water during the day but not at night. So they asked me to go and take a look." Grandma said.

"If the water can't be pumped out, shouldn't we ask a repairman to fix it? Why would they ask you to do it?" I was full of confusion.

"Alas, it has been repaired for several days. Many technicians have checked it. The pump is good and can pump during the day, but it can't pump at night. They are all waiting for water to grow seedlings. They had no choice but to find me to see if there is any ghost at work."

Grandma sighed as she filled the thermos with water to wash herself.

"Alas, grandma is old. When I went there today, I could see that she was a bit gloomy. But now she is not in good health and cannot open her third eye. I was busy all night but still couldn't handle the matter properly."

"Oh, then wait for me to come back from school tomorrow night and I'll go with you to take a look," I comforted her.

"That's fine! But will this affect your studies?"

Grandma's face was full of sorrow.

"It's okay, grandma. It's only one night. It won't delay me. I can just use my rest time during the day to finish my homework."

I relieved my grandma's heart again, and her brows relaxed a little.

My grandmother is a kind person. This year there is a severe drought. If the seedlings are not grown in time and the season is delayed, most people in the village will lose their harvest for the year.

It was not easy for farmers to farm at that time. Although the farmland was contracted to households, which was better than the cooperative era, it was not only self-sufficient, but also required the payment of public grain.

This must be what grandma is worried about.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back tomorrow, and then we can go together after dinner!"

Grandma washed up and climbed into bed.

I didn’t hear what grandma said and I fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, when I got home, the young man who had brought my grandma back last night had already driven a tractor to my house.

My grandma and I quickly finished our meal and climbed onto the tractor.

This tractor might be used to pull things in the village. It had no roof, so my grandmother and I sat on the edge, holding on to the frame.

The road in the village was still bumpy. It took more than 20 minutes of bumpy ride to reach the water pumping base station. Maybe it was because I had just finished my meal, I almost vomited my food.

After getting off the bus, it took a few minutes of walking to reach the pump house.

It was already dark at this time, and the gray moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the entire base station in flickering light. Although there was some light, this base station by the river far away from the village seemed particularly deserted.

As we walked over, the water pump was still running, making a mechanical roar like an old man pulling a cart.

I looked up at the top of the canal, and it was just as my grandmother had told me, although the machine was running, no water was coming out.

"Aunt Xu, you are finally here."

As soon as I reached the door of the pump room, a middle-aged man in his 40s came out with an anxious look on his face.

"Look, it's the same tonight. We still can't pump out the water. What should we do?"

In March, there are still cool breezes at night in our area and the temperature is very low.

But the man in front of him was only wearing a thin coat, his face was more capable than that of an ordinary farmer, and beads of sweat the size of beans were sliding down his face.

As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and then wiped it on his lower back.

He should be a village cadre, but the fact that he wiped the sweat directly on his lower back shows that he is also an ordinary farmer.

"Village Chief Huang, I brought Feng'er here today. She has the ability to see ghosts and spirits. Let her come and help."

Grandma introduced me to the middle-aged man.

Village chief Huang was stunned at first, glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, and then couldn't wait to grab my grandmother.

"You must help take care of this matter today! Otherwise, my role as village chief will be over."

Obviously, he was not very interested in the fact whether I had the ability to see ghosts or not. He placed his hopes on my grandmother and completely regarded her as his life-saving straw.

"Little Sun, Grandma Xu is here, why don't you stop the water pump! Let the old lady look around."

Suddenly he realized that the roar of the water pump affected their conversation, and he yelled at Xiao Sun who was fiddling with the machine.

"what did you say?"

Xiao Sun tilted his ear and shouted loudly. He was too close to the machine and it was obvious that he did not hear clearly what Village Chief Huang said.

"I told you to turn off the machine first."

Village chief Huang wiped his sweat and shouted at Xiao Sun.

"Oh, OK!" Xiao Sun heard it and quickly stopped the water pump.

As the water pump stopped, there was a sudden silence, as still as death. The light bulb in the pump room suddenly brightened up, startling the five people present.

My heart suddenly tightened, including mine, and my eyes unconsciously looked at the 50-watt light bulb hanging in the middle of the pump room. Although it was warm light, it was still a bit dazzling when I looked directly at it.

I narrowed my eyes and looked away from the light bulb.

"Liu Feng, don't be afraid, the water pump is just stopped, and the light bulb will light up because of the high voltage."

Xiao Huang, who was standing behind me, looked at me and couldn't help but smile. It was obvious that he saw me as a little girl and thought I would be scared in such an environment.

"It's okay. I'm not afraid."

I turned around and smiled at him embarrassedly.

Grandma looked around the pump room and turned to ask me, "Feng'er, did you see anything?"

I shook my head. I really didn't see anything. The temperature in the pump room was much higher than outside. Of course, it was because the water pump was turned on. I didn't feel any negative energy at all.

"Grandma, you guys wait down there, I want to go up to the top and take a look."

In fact, when I first arrived, I took a look at the water outlet on the top. On the one hand, I wanted to see if there was any water coming out, and on the other hand, there was a flickering light bulb and there was obviously a cloud of black gas under it.

I think there must be a problem there. When grandma came to see me last night, she probably only focused on the pump house and the river and didn't look up.

"Okay then, Village Chief Huang and I will take a look around, you go up!"

Grandma knew that I must have seen something, otherwise she would not have said so confidently that she wanted to go up there to take a look.

"Xiao Huang, accompany Liu Feng to the top to have a look. It's a bit difficult to climb, so please be careful."

Village chief Huang was worried that it would be dangerous for me to go up alone, so he assigned Xiao Huang to accompany me.

"Okay, Liu Feng, I'll take you upstairs."

Xiao Huang led me around the pump house, walked a distance, and took me up a dirt ladder not far away.

This embankment was built on flat ground, and it looks very steep when viewed from the pump house.
