Chapter 237 Invisible Supernatural
Tianshui Town is located in a small county called TS City in Dachuan City. The population flow here is not high and it is a small town.
The prices here are not high, and the factory’s salary to employees is only a little over 2,000 a month.
But one good thing is that the house prices here are very cheap. A house is only four to five million yuan, which is not as expensive as the bride price of a girl from Dahai City.
So this kind of small place is very suitable for wealthy people to retire, especially in towns with big mountains. It is a good place for wealthy people to come and relax after they are tired from playing.
The weather in TS City today is very good, the sun is shining brightly, and the cold wind blowing from nowhere is not that biting.
Lin Qian was lying on the iron railing of Tianshui Bridge, a bridge about ten meters high, crossing the Tianshui River below.
The wind blowing from the river made people's clothes rustle, and the windbreaker was blown backwards.
Coco's little head stuck out from the gap in the railing, staring at the exposed river bed below, with bright eyes. Looking at her like this, it was obvious that she wanted to go down and play.
The bridge is not too young. I heard from the locals here that a flood almost submerged the entire bridge a year ago. It sounds a bit unreal, but it is not important.
The important thing is that after that day, barriers were set up on the bridge and no cars, not even motorcycles, were allowed to pass.
So, I don’t know since when, Tianshui Bridge has become a good place for locals to take a walk and enjoy the breeze at night.
The wind blew her hair, and Lin Qian lay leisurely on the railing, staring at a small section of the river dozens of meters away.
There is a river embankment extending from the shore. It is paved with stones and extends to the middle of the river. I don't know if it is to block some of the river water from scouring the bridge, or what.
In the middle of the embankment, there is a red safety warning pole. There is no written warning, it just stands like this. I don’t know its purpose.
However, I heard a casual conversation from an old man who was taking a walk just now. It seemed that that thing was used to mark it, letting people know that there was a deep pit there, a bottomless pit.
According to the old man, there is a name there. According to the locals, it is called "Changwantuo". As for why it is called this name, he doesn't know.
This "long winding road" is very deep. I heard that when a large truck was unloading goods, the driver accidentally drove the truck into it due to the driver's operating error.
According to what the old man said at the time, if the driver hadn't been running fast, he might have died along with the car.
If something like this happened, someone would definitely come forward to salvage it. After all, in those days, a large truck loaded with sand and gravel was not cheap.
So a few days after the accident, someone came over to salvage it, but the result was not satisfactory. For several days, they didn't even touch the car.
This is a bit incredible. In the eyes of people at the time, this long winding river didn't look very deep. In addition, it was a natural river. The deepest in other places was only more than ten meters. It's so shallow that you can see the river bed at a glance, and it's barely big enough for a cargo ship to pass.
So the people at that time did not believe in evil and continued to salvage for several days. In the end, they found nothing. They did not even touch the bottom of the long winding road.
This is a little weird. Many people don’t know what to do. After fishing for so many days, they can’t even find the location of the car, or even find out the bottom of this lump.
At this moment, people are in trouble. They can't just give up. It's impossible to give up such an expensive truck just because they say they don't want it anymore.
Things worth hundreds of thousands, but in those days, a house cost only 120,000 yuan. This car alone was worth several houses. There was nothing you could give up.
But depending on the situation, it is difficult to fish out the car. After all, there is no way to fish out the car if you can't touch it.
So some of them came up with a way, which was to explore the bottom of this long winding road first. As long as they determined how deep it was, they would know how deep they should use to fish out the car.
Since there was no advanced equipment at that time, they could only use stupid methods, tying things with ropes to sink them into the water. As long as the ropes did not continue to fall down, it would be the end.
At that time, they would know how deep it was by looking at how many ropes they had used, so they did this. One rope was three meters long, and they used more than a hundred ropes. Luo ropes are tied together for submersion.
The result was surprising. The more than 100 ropes and the length of more than 300 meters did not reach the end. It was at this time that they also realized that there was most likely a grand canyon underneath this long winding road. It's bottomless, at least hundreds or thousands of meters deep.
It is basically impossible to salvage a car from here. No one can salvage a tiny car from such a deep mass of unknown depth and width.
Knowing that this was the result, the owner of the truck went directly to the hospital. In those days, hundreds of thousands were lost. And in such a small place, those with poor mental endurance might just jump into arms. .
Fortunately, the owner of the truck had a good mental capacity and did not choose to jump off the building, and the matter was settled in the end.
I heard that after the owner of the truck, another unlucky man drove the truck into Changwantuo. However, this time the driver was not very lucky and did not escape in time. As the truck entered the deep Inside the bottomless lump.
Staring at that section of the river, Lin Qian felt unspeakable fear in his heart. What the old man said was true. There was indeed a bottomless canyon underneath this long winding river, at least a thousand meters deep.
And this grand canyon is at least tens of thousands of meters wide, almost the size of the entire TS City. Inside, Lin Qian saw a big fish, completely black, with two chains hanging from its mouth. fish.
On the back of the fish, a huge gold coffin was tied up with dozens of chains. Several adult-sized chains tied the coffin to the back of the big fish.
On the top of the head of this big fish, there is also a willow tree, a blooming willow tree.
"There is no doubt that the work of our predecessors is the work of our predecessors. This matches up with another legend told by the old man. There is indeed a carp weighing over a thousand kilograms."
Lin Qian's eyes flashed. He didn't dare to touch the things inside. That fish was a ghost fish, and it was much more terrifying than him. If it weren't for the long and winding mouth, it was only so small, and there were also lights on the mouth. The burning ancient bronze lamp suppressed the ghost fish.
This ghost fish might have escaped long ago. Lin Qian looked at the carp dragging in the dark middle and silently withdrew the supernatural power of his ghost glasses.
He can see all this because of the gold glasses on his face, otherwise he would not be able to see this weirdness. The Starving Ghost is only invincible in this era, and he is not invincible to his predecessors. Times, maybe when he and his bride are married, he can do it.
Ripples on the river surface, occasionally river fish flapping, splashing in the water, a few children walking on the embankment, for them, the adults' warning is the fun of their challenge, they play happily , the dense water plants on the embankment soon obscured them.
In front of a winter swimming base not far away, seven or eight old men put on swimming rings, plunged into the water, and swam towards the other side.
It seems that the cold and biting river water is a good medicine for them to strengthen their health.
Lin Qian stared at all this and let out a long breath. The breath of beautiful life is always daunting. If there is no resurrection of the ghost, he is very willing to live such a life.
The wind on the bridge is always so strong. I don’t pay attention to the pedestrians taking pictures of them. Anyway, if nothing happens, the photos taken will be blank. If you are not lucky, you may need to replace them with new ones. The phone is gone.
Rubbed Coco's head, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards Tianshui Town. Across the bridge is Tianshui Town, and on the other side is TS City. They are only separated by a bridge, but the prosperity is worlds apart. Don't.
Coco jumped next to Lin Qian, holding a lollipop in her mouth. It was made by Li Gui and Lin Qian helped her make it. It tasted like apples and tomatoes. It tastes very good.
Lin Qian looked up at the sky. Clouds were passing through the sky, covering up the morning sun. The weather was a bit gloomy, but it wouldn't rain.
After walking past the bridge, Lin Qian looked at the T-shaped intersection, recalled the old man's words, and walked towards the left. If nothing else happened, he had to go to the fifth carousel, where to enter Tianshui Village. , that is, the west side of Tianshui Town, where his destination is.
On the right, there is another place. The situation there is still very strange. Legend has it that there is a reservoir in that place, and there is a Water Dragon King hidden in the reservoir. Anyone who does not follow the rules will anger the Water Dragon King, thus At night, that person will be summoned by the Water Dragon King and then jump into the water to death.
And the body has to stay underwater for half a month before it is released by the Water Dragon King. Only then can the family members collect the body.
Lin Qian was skeptical about this statement. In his eyes, the legend of the Water Dragon King was just a terrifying ghost. As for the corpse staying in the water for half a month, it might be the ghost. Just a killing pattern.
Lin Qian looked to the right, and thought for a while that he did not go there to provoke the evil ghost. This place was very weird. Lin Qian guessed that many of the folklore here were true, but it was not the sky full of gods and Buddhas as they thought, but a sky full of gods and Buddhas. Just a fierce ghost.
And most of these ghosts may not be left over from the Republic of China period. They are most likely the work of predecessors. The coffin-backed ghost fish in the long winding tuo is the best proof.
Going to the left, there is a bus station at the end of the bridge. From here you can see buses going to many places, such as Yaoba Ancient Town, Bus Network, Hajiang, and Fadong Temple.
Crossing the station, there were many people asking if there was a train going somewhere. Many of them were carrying large and small bags. It looked like they were going to visit relatives. After all, the Chinese New Year was coming soon. This kind of thing is normal and common.
Ignoring the conductor’s shouting in front of the bus, Lin Qian left the station with Coco. Sometimes small towns also have their benefits.
The place is small, there aren't that many people, it doesn't look that crowded, and the exhaust fumes and honking of cars aren't that noisy.
Walking on the street, there are shops on both sides of the road, selling clothes and pants. There are basically breakfast restaurants, one after another, filling both sides of the street.
Walking among them, Lin Qian discovered an interesting place. The closer to the bridge, the more people set up stalls selling fruits and food. They did not set up one stall.
Instead, just put a basket on the ground or pick vegetables, which can be said to be a stall, and some are even sold directly in front of the bank.
And the bank did not come out to chase people away. After all, these sellers are older grandparents. It would be inappropriate for them to come out to chase them away. Besides, this actually does not affect them at all. There is no need to be such a villain.
This kind of situation is basically not seen in big cities. On the one hand, there are areas dedicated to selling these things, and on the other hand, there are no older people who would set up such street stalls in big cities.
Lin Qian looked at this scene and was very surprised. He walked past the stalls in front of these old people. The things they sold were very fresh. The vegetables and fruits looked like they had just been harvested from the trees. Just like picking it out.
Keke was walking beside her father and saw her father stopped in front of a stall selling winter jujubes. She hugged her father's thighs and quietly poked her head out, looking at the winter jujubes in the vegetable basket with tears in her eyes. It flickered.
The seller of winter dates was an old man. He looked very energetic and could live for at least another twenty years. When the old man saw the shrunken Coco, a smile appeared on his face:
"What a handsome daughter, young man, your daughter? She's a little shy of strangers, which is unacceptable. Take her out to play more often. When she grows up, her personality will be better and she will have more friends."
< br>
Hearing what the old man said, Lin Qian rubbed Coco's head and nodded with a smile. The old man was not bad-hearted. He lowered his head and looked at Coco. Lin Qian asked:
" Do you want to eat dates?”
“Yes!”
Keke nodded quickly, and the lollipop in his mouth almost fell out because of the big gesture. Lin looked at it. The corners of Qian's eyes twitched, it wouldn't be good if this thing fell out.
But Lin Qian didn’t care. He squatted down, took the bag handed over by the old man, grabbed three or four kilograms of winter dates, and then handed it to the old man:
"Uncle, weigh me."
"Okay."
The old man smiled and picked up the scale. It was a handmade scale with graduations. He weighed it. He reached out and fiddled with the weight, and the weight was quickly given:
"Little "Boy, it's four pounds and five taels in total. See if it's right."
As he said that, he handed the scale to Lin Qian. Lin Qian was a little embarrassed. He didn't recognize this thing. He was born in the city. He has only heard of this kind of thing, but has never seen it. This is the first time he saw it today.
It was at this time that Lin Qian discovered that the people selling fruits and vegetables on the street all used this kind of scale to determine the weight.
The old man also noticed Lin Qian's embarrassment and immediately realized that Lin Qian would not let him go. He laughed and didn't care. He didn't mean to laugh at Lin Qian. All the kids in the city were like this.
"Young man, give me the dates for ten yuan a pound, so I can give you a small change, and you can give me forty."
The old man handed over the winter dates. He came over and smiled at Lin Qianke who was hiding. Looking at the old man's kind smile, Lin Qian nodded, took the handed bag, took out fifty yuan from his pocket with a smile and put it in the vegetable basket. , said no need to look for it, stood up and left.
The old man looked at the fifty yuan in the vegetable basket and accepted it generously without being pretentious. Looking at the backs of Lin Qian and Coco, he grinned.
It's rare to see a father and daughter like this these days. The old man is handsome, the girl is handsome, but I don't know what the mother looks like.
Lin Qian was walking in the crowd, carrying a bag of winter dates. Coco stretched out her little hands to grab it. Lin Qian lowered the bag slightly so that Coco wouldn't have to work so hard.
Seeing that Coco was eating a winter jujube in one bite, Lin Qian shook his head, a little dumbfounded. Since this little snack got a part of the starving ghost's supernatural power from him, this little guy started eating like crazy. There are no taboos, and the appetite is extremely exaggerated.
Rubbing Coco's head, Lin Qian felt helpless:
"Eat slowly, there are no other children to compete with you."
"Hey, daddy, this is delicious!" Keke laughed, her face full of satisfaction, but she also listened to Lin Qian's words, and her eating speed slowed down a lot.
“This little foodie.”
Lin Qian shook his head and led Coco towards the five-carousel. Coco is very fierce now. Since his relationship with the bride has deepened, Coco The supernatural powers obtained from the bride are becoming more and more outrageous. Now she not only has the ability to draw ghosts, but also has the ability to starve ghosts to death.
If she hadn’t thought that Li Gui was not delicious and tasteless, maybe Cocoa would have eaten Li Gui every day. Coco also said it was a pity for this. According to her, Gui Gui was not delicious and did not smell good. , it doesn’t look delicious, Keke doesn’t like to eat it.
Lin Qian didn't care about this. Anyway, Coco was very obedient. When she was with him, she just ate and ate, basically forgetting that she still had these supernatural powers.
It was the same when Xiaoyue was together in the past. If Xiaoyue hadn't had a problem last time, Keke wouldn't have remembered that he still had the ghost realm. Keke had told him all this.
In this regard, Lin Qian expressed that he was speechless. The only person in the world who could forget that he had abilities and think that he was an ordinary person was Coco.
There are many people going to the market on the street. This is the characteristic of small places. Some things are only sold if you go early. These things are not available in supermarkets, such as fresh winter bamboo shoots.
Walking among the crowds going to the market, Lin Qian was retrograde and looked at the sky far away. It was much gloomier than the sky where he was now. If nothing else, it was Tianshui. Village.
Lin Qian took Coco's hand and walked towards the destination. Suddenly Lin Qian raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the road ahead, feeling a little chilly in his heart.
After taking a look at the expressions of the people around him, Lin Qian's pupils dilated slightly. He could confirm that these people were not affected by the supernatural, so these people really could not see the scene. (End of this chapter)
