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

Because farmers' incomes will basically be halved this year, leaders have decided after research that the grain payment will also be halved this year, but each household is required to select one or two people to repair the dam based on labor and proportion.

The river happened to be dry, so they decided to build a dam across the river from our village to the town, which would greatly shorten the distance from Sanxiang Township to the town.

It is even better for our village, especially for Teams 1, 2 and 3 living at the head of the village, as their journey is shortened by two-thirds. The teams behind them also have to walk half the distance to get to town.

The village chief acted immediately after receiving the notice and immediately called together the captains of each team and notified each family one by one in a hurry.

Of course, our family doesn't need to provide labor. On the one hand, we don't have any land, and on the other hand, there is no labor in the family.

People at that time were quite simple and honest, and they would actively respond to the call of the country. The next day, all those who were going to work arrived at the designated location early.

Every village in Sanxiang Township must participate in the construction. There are a total of 8 natural villages, and each village is responsible for a section of the embankment.

Building a dam mainly relies on filling soil, which means digging soil at a designated location, carrying it to a marked position in the river, and building a dam.

Our Huangjia Village happened to be located on the edge of the black water area, so the dam construction project was proceeding in full swing.

However, because the weather is too hot, the working hours are scheduled from 6 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m.

At around 5pm on my fifth day at work, I was doing my homework when I heard a motorcycle stop outside my door.

"Aunt Xu, Aunt Xu, are you home?"

The voice sounded very anxious, so I quickly put down the pen in my hand and walked out.

When I came out, I saw Village Chief Huang getting off the back seat of a motorcycle ridden by a young man. When he saw me, he immediately asked:

"Liu Feng, you're at home. Where's your grandma?"

"Grandma, it should be in the vegetable garden in the backyard."

Since we can't go fishing during this period, grandma uses the duckbill well to pump water to irrigate the vegetable fields every day. Every afternoon, she and several elderly people in the village volunteer to deliver drinking water to the people on the construction site.

"Quick, quick, call your grandma out."

Village Chief Huang looked very nervous, wiping his sweat while urging.

I walked to the backyard and saw my grandma just about to come out with a bucket of water.

"Grandma, Village Chief Huang is looking for you!"

"Oh, I'll be right out."

Grandma walked to the gate carrying the bucket of water, but before she could put it down, she was grabbed by Village Chief Huang.

"Aunt Xu, come with me quickly."

"Village Chief Huang, what happened?" Grandma asked puzzledly.

I quickly took the bucket from my grandma and put it aside.

"Aunt Xu, this is terrible. One of the people who built the dike in our village is missing?"

Village chief Huang was flustered again and spoke quickly. Before grandma could reply, he continued.

"Our village is located right next to the forbidden black water area and is building a dike. This afternoon, a villager accidentally rolled down and disappeared after a while. No one dared to go into the water to look for him. I'm afraid it might be some ghost or evil spirit causing trouble, so I thought of asking you to go and take a look."

After hearing this, I was shocked. Is that place really that weird? Are the legends true?

"Oh, OK, OK, I'll go with you right away after I get my things."

After saying this, grandma turned around and went into the house to get her magic tools.

"By the way, Liu Feng, you should come along too. I'll ask Xiao Huang to take your grandma and I'll walk with you."

"Alright!"

I looked at Village Chief Huang in surprise. He still couldn't hide the panic on his face. Someone had died on the construction site, and he was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

This year was a turbulent one. He didn't have a single comfortable day. It was not easy to be the village chief.

Grandma got on Xiao Huang's motorcycle, and the village chief and I strode towards the forbidden area.

The village chief and I walked directly on the riverbed, while grandma and her friends took the main road. After getting off the car, they had to cross a field. A short while later, grandma and Xiao Huang arrived, and the village chief and I also arrived.

When we arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered around, but no one dared to get close to the water and just watched from afar.

Village cadres from other villages were there to maintain order. Curiosity drove the villagers to be reluctant to leave and they wanted to see what was going on.

Finally, a staff member sent by the town shouted

"Hurry back to work, or I'll have your village chief write down your names and make every family that watched the fun pay an extra 200 kilograms of grain."

The effect of this sentence was more effective than anything else. The villagers from other villages scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only people from our village.

It was past 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was still very bright. The scorching sunlight shone on the water, making the black water sparkle and reflect the dazzling light, making it impossible to open your eyes.

I came here with my classmates last time and didn’t find any evil spirits. This time, too, I didn’t see anything unusual.

Grandma took out the compass, looked at it, frowned, and muttered.

"Village Chief Huang, there is no negative energy here, it's just that the magnetic field is disordered, and the spiritual energy is even stronger."

"Then what should we do? We can't find this person. By the way, Feng'er, can you take a look and see if there is anything there?"

Village chief Huang was very helpless and looked worried, but the moment he caught sight of me, his eyes lit up and he looked at me as if asking for help.

"Village chief, I, I didn't see anything either." I said embarrassedly.

"That's what I said. Why do you have to bring in some evidence? Are there any monsters or ghosts? Do you not believe in science?"

Before the village chief could speak, the staff member from the town who had just shouted spoke in a pretentious tone.

"I'll get a pump tomorrow to drain the water here and see what it is."

"But, but it's obvious that we can see the bottom, but we can't see that person?"

Village Chief Huang felt very aggrieved.

I quickly took a look into the black water. It seemed not deep. The water was shiny black and I couldn't see the bottom. Where did the person who fell in go?

Generally, people who fall into the water will float up after a while, but it has been half a day and there is no trace of him.

The people watching the fun nearby were also whispering to each other.

"Yes, we went all the way around and didn't see Xiao Zhao fall."

"Oh my god, this is so strange, where did he go? I saw him fall with my own eyes, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Everyone had different expressions, but they all showed an incredible expression.

"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it tomorrow. Go back to work. Otherwise, I'll ask you to pay an extra 200 kilograms of grain."

The man in the town said angrily.

No one had any good ideas, so they went back to work.

My grandma and I came here alone, so we said goodbye to Village Chief Huang embarrassedly and walked back.

There was a shrill cry coming from behind. It turned out that the family of the missing Xiao Zhao had rushed over.

"Don't worry, our town leaders will definitely give your family an explanation. If the town can't solve it, we will go to the city leaders."

The man from the town said this in a loud voice, while Village Chief Huang stood beside him, at a loss, with a frown on his face.

My grandma and I didn’t care about what happened next. We slowly walked home under the scorching sun.

"Feng'er, did you really not see anything?" Grandma asked me on the way.

"I didn't see anything." I answered with certainty.
