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

Because there was a lot of silt at the water's edge, we couldn't get close. We just looked at it from a distance and didn't feel there was anything mysterious about it. Why is this a forbidden area?

I was just thinking about this question when Huang Yan next to me started talking. She was my elementary school classmate, but we were not assigned to the same class in junior high school. She lived in Team 3, which was closest to this forbidden area.

"Do you know why this place is forbidden?"

There were five of us in our group, including Zhao Xiaoling from Team 5, Huang Xiangyu from Team , and Liu Yuxia from Team . We all stared at her with curiosity, eager to learn.

"I also heard it from my great-grandmother."

I know that her great-grandmother is 97 years old this year, and she is still in very good health. She is a well-known centenarian in the area.

Because of the poor medical care and hard life in that era, there are very few people over 80 years old. The 97-year-old should be the oldest person in our village.

I heard that her great-grandmother was a lady of great talent, well-educated, and had beautiful handwriting. She was very famous in the village.

"My great-grandmother said that there are man-eating monsters here. Yes, not only do they eat people, they even eat boats. No matter what falls here, it will be sucked in, and once it is sucked in, it can never get out again."

"Really?" I asked in surprise.

"Oh my god, this is terrible, let's go back!"

We were all very scared, and she quickly pulled us back a few steps.

Everyone looked at Huang Yan with horror.

"It's true. My great-grandmother said that when she first married into our village, there were a few brave young people in the village who didn't believe in it and insisted on going there to find out the truth."

"There were eight of them, rowing two fishing boats. Four people on one boat were brave enough to come here. After hesitating for a while, they rowed into the black waters. Soon, the fishing boat began to shake as if there was a strong suction force."

"When they saw that things were not going well, they quickly waved their oars and tried desperately to row the boat out, but to no avail."

"After a while, the sky darkened, dark clouds rolled in, strong winds blew, heavy rain poured down, and a large whirlpool appeared in the water, swallowing up the entire boat and the four people on board."

"The people on the other boat were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Fortunately, there was a sober leader who quickly rowed the boat to the shore."

"They paddled with all their might, and behind them the sky darkened and the wind suddenly increased. Then, it seemed as if a dragon soared into the sky."

"Isn't this a dragon stirring the water? I've seen it."

We were listening intently when Zhao Xiaoling suddenly interrupted.

What Zhao Xiaoling called the dragon stirring the water is a natural phenomenon, which should be called dragon sucking water in written language. People who live near water often see this phenomenon.

Dragon sucking water is a very magical natural phenomenon, which usually occurs on the water surface.

When a water dragon appears, the sky will become dark and the wind speed will suddenly increase.

Then, a rotating air current will form above the water surface, drawing the surrounding water in.

The airflow became stronger and stronger, eventually forming a tall water column that soared into the sky.

There is usually a vortex at the top of the water column, which continuously sucks water up and also draws the surrounding air into it, forming a strong storm.

During the process of the dragon sucking water, the water was swept into the air, forming a huge water curtain, which looked like a giant dragon sucking water.

"Yes, many people have seen the dragon stirring up the water. The strange thing is that when they rowed the boat to the shore desperately, the entire river surface returned to calm, as if nothing had happened."

"What's different is that the boat and the four people who entered the black waters are nowhere to be seen."

"They were so frightened that their souls left their bodies. They couldn't calm down for a long time. Because they wanted to give an explanation to the families of the four missing people, they bravely paddled back to see what happened."

"The calm river surface showed no signs of what had just happened, except that the black water was still there."

"There was really no other way, so the four people had to row the boat back and tell people what happened."

The old people beat their chests and stamped their feet, asking them not to go, but they insisted on going. Now, several children are gone.

The families of the four missing people were unwilling to accept the situation, so the village organized a team to salvage the boat in the river. In the end, not to mention the people, even the debris of the boat was not found.

But we don’t dare to go near that dark water area to salvage.

Since then, no one in the village has come to this forbidden area for decades.

After listening to Huang Yan's story, we not only sighed, but were all scared out of our wits. We quickly quickened our pace and moved away from here, fearing that we would be sucked into the pool of black water.

After walking for a while, we dispersed. I walked alone on the river bank, frowning, wondering why such a strange thing happened. Could it be that the Black Dragon Pond has some connection with this black water?

"Feng'er, I finally found you."

Because I was so absorbed in my thoughts, I was startled by the sudden voice.

When I looked up, it turned out to be the excited Wang Erming. He was holding a piece of paper in his hand, waving at me happily, and running towards me.

"Brother Erming, why are you here?"

I sorted out my thoughts and asked with a smile.

"Feng'er, I passed the exam and got into a technical secondary school."

Wang Erming was all smiles, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and his face was filled with joy, as bright as the sunshine.

"Really?" I was also happy for him, and the gloom just now disappeared.

"Yes, it's true. I was so happy. I went to your house and Grandma Wu said you and your classmates were here, so she chased after you."

He danced with his hands and his eyes were full of enthusiasm and excitement.

"Look, look quickly."

He couldn't wait to hand the paper in his hand to me.

I took it and looked at it. On a piece of white paper, I could clearly see the words "New Student Admission Notice", and the words "Wang Erming" written at the end were clearly visible. The signature was "July 30, 1990." The seal of "Shahe County Normal School" was also very clear.

"Congratulations, Brother Erming."

I couldn't suppress the joy in my heart. Just because of a few words from me, this cynical boy was admitted to a normal school.

"Feng'er, your performance in liberal arts is also good. Work hard and get into this school in the future. Then we will be alumni again." He said happily.

I didn't respond to him and just smiled, because I wasn't interested in that.

"This school takes four years, and I heard that you can be assigned to be a junior high school teacher in the future."

He was still excited.

We walked all the way back.

Because it was a year of severe drought and every family was having a hard time, Wang Erming's family simply invited a few tables to liven up the atmosphere.

Of course, my grandmother and I were also invited because we were Wang Erming’s saviors.

At that time, being admitted to a technical secondary school or university was a big happy event. If it weren't for the drought, families like Wang Erming's would have held a big banquet and it would have been as lively as a wedding.

Wang Erming was happy throughout the summer vacation. He came to my house from time to time to play with me and help me with my homework.

It was so hot that my grandma and I had to take several baths at night using well water. We turned on the electric fan all night and couldn't fall asleep even when sleeping outside.
