According to the Keeper's records, the Half Calamity Ravine was sentient. The Keeper's so-called spirituality was probably the strangeness or terror of this place. In the past, this place was only covered in grass and dense forests. It was abnormally desolate, so very few people visited. Even on both sides of the ditch, the land that was five to six meters wide was not cultivated. In that era where people depended on the weather for food, the natural conditions here were quite superior. However, no matter which family it was, they would rather abandon the land here than have anything to do with the strangeness and terror here. The fewer people there were, the scarier and more mysterious it was. It was just like a home. It was originally a very lively home, but due to various reasons, the family members went their separate ways. In a few days, the courtyard would be overgrown with fragrant grass. If it was just one or a few people who came back to this house by chance and saw the weeds in the yard, they would feel desolate and desolate. They would feel that this place no longer felt like home. Moreover, when they first entered the house, they more or less felt a little scared and gloomy. This was the feeling of being family. If someone were to add some artificial modifications to the courtyard at this time, what the hell would they add? With such a strange legend, no one dared to come to this courtyard.
It was the same for the Half Calamity Ravine. This place was desolate to begin with. When people approached this place, they would feel gloomy, their scalps would tighten, and their backs would feel cold. No matter if it was day or night (if not forced, very few people would pass by at night), they would always lower their heads, bow their backs, clench their fists, and walk at a much faster pace than usual. After this part of the road, even if it was the busy day, people would feel their palms covered in sweat, and their bodies would also be sweaty. Furthermore, in winter, there were often ghost fires here at night. During the day, they would often hear a particularly terrifying sound that was similar to a baby's cry. With the frequent incidents of ghosts hitting the wall at night, the more legends, the more bizarre, the more bizarre, the more terrifying, the more terrifying, the less people came. After a long time, not only did people not come here, but they also regarded this place as an ominous place.
There was probably a reason why people said that this place was ominous. The Keeper's records contained a scene he had seen with his own eyes when he was young. This was how he described it. It was around ten o'clock in the morning when the wheat harvest was approaching. The adults had already gone to work, and the people sitting and chatting on the street were some old people who had almost lost their ability to work. There were also children who could not work, running and playing crazily. Just as the people were chatting and having fun, they saw a black and white dog, a very big dog, crazily chasing a big white rooster. The rooster flew around and the dog's eyes were filled with blood. Its fur stood on end as it jumped over the wall and chased after the rooster. Moreover, it would occasionally bark. Hearing this, she felt her heart go numb. Everyone who saw this scene stopped all their activities. They all kept quiet and stared blankly, not moving at all. He didn't even dare to blink or move, afraid that he would accidentally provoke this crazy dog. The more the dog chased, the more agitated it became, and its tail stood up. When the claws scratched the ground or the wall, they immediately left white marks. Moreover, dust that was nearly a foot high flew up, and they also left faint traces of blood.
Just when people thought that chickens could fly, although the distance they could fly was not very large or very high, they were still faster than dogs. The crazy dog grabbed the white rooster and dragged it into the street. It was as if he was deliberately showing off something to the crowd. In front of everyone, he pressed the white rooster to the ground with one of his front paws. The rooster was not dead yet. Its wings were still flapping. Its mouth was still making sad gurgling sounds, and its eyes seemed to be crying, waiting for people to reach out and help it. However, the people on the street, other than the elderly and children, did not dare to move. They all stared at him with their eyes wide open, not even daring to breathe loudly. It was as if the slightest bit of noise would immediately attract the disaster in front of him. And this dog that was close to the extreme was getting more and more pleased with itself. Its back was arched, and its fur was standing on end. It was excited by its desire and wildness, causing its eyes to widen and its pupils to be bloodshot. Moreover, it revealed a savage and extremely violent look. After a moment of disdain, the white rooster stopped moving, while the dog began to enjoy the spoils of war that it had obtained crazily. One of the dog's front paws roughly pressed down on the rooster, and its mouth fiercely moved forward. Then, it pressed down on the rooster with its other paw, and with all its strength, it raised its head up and let out a satisfied roar to the sky. His voice was even more terrifying, and everyone present had goosebumps. Even so, the dog still did not stop his actions. Instead, it held a piece of chicken meat with feathers in its mouth and raised its head to the sky. Then, it shook its head angrily. The blood on the chicken meat and the blood spurted out from the chicken intertwined, instantly rising into a bloody fog. This bloody fog surrounded the dog's head. The dog continued to eat and scatter the chicken in a wild manner. In the blink of an eye, a chicken had disappeared. A few kind-hearted old people pressed the children playing beside them on their legs and covered their eyes with their hands.
Just when people thought that the dog would leave after enjoying its spoils of war, an even stranger scene appeared. The dog straightened its neck and ran through the stunned crowd even more crazily. The stunned crowd ran towards the Half Calamity Ravine at a speed that could be described as an arrow. Its tail and spine became a straight line. In the blink of an eye, the dog ran to the edge of Half Calamity Ravine. Just as the people were still watching in horror and wondering what the dog was going to do, they saw the dog walking towards a tree, a tree that grew out of the wall of the Half Calamity Ravine. The tree was about three meters above the edge of the ditch, but it was tilted to the north, above the northern edge of the ditch. It was this tree that had once allowed several people who had no way out to end their lives. It was such a tree. When the dog came in front of the tree, it jumped with all its might and knocked its head against the branch of the tree. A bloody mist rose from the dog's head in an instant, and an arrow of blood shot out from an unknown part of the dog's head. As the blood that was spurting out rapidly decreased, the dog's body also fell into the pond of the Half Calamity Ravine. Strangely, when the people felt that the threat had passed and rushed over to take a look, they only saw the blood floating on the water surface, but they did not see the floating dog's corpse. It was an event the Keeper had witnessed and recorded.
The Keeper's records also described such a matter. "They said that it's a family with a mixed surname in the southeast corner of our village. (It was said that the people here moved here from other places.）The family was preparing for a wedding, so they sent someone to the mountains to buy soybeans and prepare to grind tofu. In addition, the villagers usually held their wedding in the winter when the farm was idle. This season was also the season of water shortage. Therefore, in order to buy the beans back, this person took a shortcut. He pushed the cart along the Half Calamity Ravine. She went out very early, just as the sun rose. After buying the beans, he walked back to the Half Calamity Ravine. It was already dark. However, it was not very late. According to the current time, it was around nine o'clock in the evening. Logically speaking, it was impossible to get lost when they arrived at their village. However, this person knew that this was Banjie Ravine and the west of his village. However, no matter how he turned, he could not walk out of this place. He was so tired that he was covered in sweat. He had walked for quite some time, but when he looked at the trees beside him and the terrain, he was still walking in circles and did not take half a step. This person knew very well that he might have run into a ghost. According to the old people, taking a piss and smoking a cigarette could relieve the pain. However, every time this person peed and smoked a cigarette, he would push the cart and walk around. He was so tired that he didn't want to walk anymore. When he put down the cart and looked at it again, although he couldn't see the ashes that he had knocked out at night, he could still see his own pee. He still didn't move an inch and was still walking in circles as usual. This person was anxious because his family was waiting for his beans! If he kept doing this, it would delay his work. As for the people at home? They were also anxious and sent out a few groups of people to pick them up. They shouted and used lanterns and lanterns to shine on them, but they did not find them. In fact, they were only a dozen meters away. He shouted until his throat was torn, but the person who bought the soybeans did not hear him. Those who came out to look for her went back after a long time. The person who bought the soybeans didn't see anyone coming to pick him up. He didn't hear anyone shouting. The person who was buying soybeans was anxious and helpless when he suddenly heard a rooster crow. For some reason, this person's heart thumped, as if he had just been freed from a certain state. He knew where to go, and there were no obstructions. In less than 20 minutes, he arrived at the place. The person who bought the soybeans was tired after a whole night. He found a place to lie down and sleep. One of the people who came to pick up this person sprained his ankle and was helped home. The other ten or so people were busy grinding. When it was noon, they had ordered some soy sauce. Everyone was tired after a long night, so they each scooped a bowl of tofu pudding and started eating. In the end, the eleven people who were helping here, other than the one who bought the soybeans and the two who sprained their feet, were all poisoned to death. The coroner from the county was called in, and he said that he had been poisoned by organic phosphorus pesticide. After taking a closer look, she realized that she had taken the wrong amount of bittern. They were all placed on the windowsill. The color of the bottles was different. Everyone was careless, so everyone went on their way together. However, the later legends were even more ridiculous. Because, the person who bought the soybeans encountered a rabbit on the way to Half-Calamity Ravine. Rabbit asked this person,"Do you think I look like a human? The person who buys soybeans is simple and honest, so he casually replied,'Like' and receive people! After leaving the village, they were approaching Half Calamity Ravine. They met a rabbit and asked the same question. Everyone answered in unison that it looked like a fart. Only the person who sprained his ankle said,"'Even if it doesn't look like it, put it nicely. It looks like it. It's amazing. Why do you have to hurt it!'The Keeper had also added that the first part of the story was true, and the encounter with the rabbit was just a legend. Perhaps it was because of this incident that when I was young, there were still rumors about the rabbit spirits and fox spirits in the Half Calamity Ravine. Because some people said that they had met a fox.
The Keeper's notes also mentioned something else. It was a coachman from our neighboring village, driving a rubber carriage. They were walking along the northern edge of the Half Calamity Ravine, but when they reached the eastern edge of the Half Calamity Ravine, they suddenly heard a sound like a baby crying from the water. The horse was immediately startled. However, it was normal for the horse to be frightened. However, the horse did not run along the road when it was frightened. Instead, it ran straight into the pond. The result was obvious. Both the man and the carriage fell into the water. The man swam up, but the carriage sank to the bottom. The horse was tied to the carriage, so of course, it sank to the bottom of the pond. However, what was puzzling was that no matter how many people were asked to salvage it, they could not find the shadow of the carriage or the horse. Also, whenever a carriage passed by the tree that the dog had killed, if it was not whipped a few times in advance, whether it was a carriage, an ox cart, or a donkey cart, it would definitely startle the carriage. Even when I was young, that place was often startled by cars. Even at night, will-o'-the-wisps or the cries of babies were common. In fact, it might not be a rare thing for young people today. The ghost fire was nothing more than the glow emitted by the bones of animals at night. The baby's cry was either a salamander or a catfish. After all, not many people in that era had read books, so the legend of the Half Calamity Ravine could only become more and more mysterious, and the more mysterious it became, the more confused people became.
