The story took place in a place called River City.
The beautiful Jiang City was a county-level city.
Twenty years ago, it was just an ordinary county. It just so happened that this "twenty years" period was the peak of the expansion of the cities in China. Almost every county and every city (regardless of size) expanded crazily in all directions. No matter if it was fields, hills, valleys, factories, or residential houses, they could not resist it. Therefore,"the city swallowed the fertile land" would definitely become the "historical fact" of this historical period in the history of China. The merits and demerits of thousands of years will be commented on by later generations.
Jiang City expanded even more. The reason for this is that it doesn't have " four sides ", only " three sides ". On one side is the river. You know, not only that, but the two streets outside the river embankment also joined in the fun and " flew " into the embankment to join the expansion.
It was the summer vacation when the county was being relocated and the city was being built. A strange thing happened here and caused a sensation in the entire Jiang City.
Pier No. 3 was a small cargo dock. That night, a girl threw herself into the river on the barge. The shoe she left behind proved that it was the little girl who failed the college entrance examination. Soon, a woman's heart-wrenching cries could be heard. The old woman (the girl's grandmother) didn't cry, but she muttered,""No, no, my sister didn't die.”Of course, the father was busy with the salvage company. It was late at night. Although the house was in a mess, the old woman still reminded her son,"My sister has one shoe on the shore, she's not dead. She won't die."
The next day, the search for the "corpse" continued (after a night of flooding, it could only be a corpse). The woman collapsed, and the man had to go to the Dragon King's temple to offer incense.
The so-called asking for advice was actually divination. The bamboo basket was broken into two halves and turned into the shape of a beast horn, which was called "advice". The owner of the bamboo basket offered incense in front of Bodhisattva or other gods, told him the reason, knelt down, and then threw the advice on the ground. If it was one throw and one throw, it was "allowed to report". If both threw, it was "not allowed to report". If it was two throw, it was "laughing". Smiling warnings were both negative, but it was a kind denial. The owner could speculate on the good side, such as "don't ask","don't ask", etc. Whenever the people of Jiang City encountered major events or disasters in their families, most of them would definitely ask for help. It was said that the effectiveness of this was often amazing. Of course, even if there were some who did not work, there was no place to complain or even blame it on their own "insincerity". But there was one fact that was beyond doubt: The number of believers increased.
Besides, when the father came to the Dragon King Temple, he offered incense and knelt down to report the matter. He muttered in a low voice,"Where does he live? Someone lost water somewhere one day, and now he has not seen his life or death. He asks the Bodhisattva for guidance. If he is alive, he will tell him. If he is not, he will not."
He threw it and saw that it was a warning! The man was unusually excited as if he had received an oracle, so his trembling hands hurriedly grabbed the oracle again. He threw it twice in a row, but he was always smiling. The nun at the side placed her palm in front of her chest and said,"Congratulations, Master. You got what you wanted."
When the man returned home, he excitedly and carefully conveyed God's " will " to his family. The old woman was overjoyed, but the woman did not believe it, but she did not dare to act rashly. She continued to cry sadly.
He had his reasons for not believing her. Because the turbulent river current met the pontoon and created a vortex, and the vortex itself had a huge " suction ", almost every year, there would be people who knew how to swim and died at the bottom of the river. Even a master swimmer did not dare to get close, let alone a little girl who was not good at swimming.
Something unimaginable finally happened.
On the afternoon of the third day, the sun was setting. The " dead " girl walked back slowly and entered the house. The neighbors were frightened and avoided her, but the woman was pleasantly surprised and pulled her daughter to say," It's a dream, it's a dream."
It wasn't a dream. The girl really came back! When asked how she survived, she actually said she didn't know-she was already a sixteen-year-old college student. Wasn't this nonsense?
Thus, the rumors became even more magical. There were several versions in the market. Most of them said that he was saved by a piece of wood. Some said that he was carried by a finless porpoise. Some even said that he was protected by Lady Fan Kuai because the Dragon King Temple worshipped her.
Half a month later, when the father brought his daughter to thank him, many mysteries were solved. It turned out that a stool had saved his life.
The next afternoon, the girl drifted downstream to Jiangxinzhou. When the old fisherman found her, she was already unconscious. The next day, fearing that her family would be anxious, the old fisherman hurriedly sent her to a taxi. The girl herself really did not know what was going on in the water.
A few days later, the teacher came to visit and invited the girl to repeat her studies. The girl was very happy.(At that time, it was really like a carp jumping through the dragon gate. The teacher firmly believed that she was an outstanding student.) However, her mother would rather die than allow it!
Time flew by, and twenty years had passed in the blink of an eye. Now, all of this had become " history."
