When I was a child, I lived in a small mountain village in the mountains of western Henan. Every summer, after dinner, I would go to the wheat field with my father to rest and enjoy the cool with a reed mat and a bed sheet, not to mention that there was no air conditioner or electric fan, and electricity was also absent from time to time, and the lighting could not be guaranteed.
Half of the village is crowded with men on the wheat field, children can play hide-and-seek, eagle and chicken, and most excitingly, listen to ghost stories told by adults.
Whenever adults tell ghost stories, I always want to listen to them and fear to listen to them, but what I heard is hard to forget for decades, at that time, the ghost stories told by adults had a time, a place, and a person, and the parties involved could be checked and examined, and the people who listened to the story were familiar with it, and it was difficult for people to think that it was a ghost story, and always thought that it was a real thing. Here are a few stories I heard at the time:
1. There is a person in our village, nicknamed Lao Gang, that is, he can take people up as soon as he speaks, so everyone is usually reluctant to talk to him more, and he is also willing to choose labor with less contact with people. At that time, the production team fed cattle, and in the summer, the grass was cut and fed to the cattle, and the work was calculated according to the number of catties, and the individual had full freedom. One day, Lao Qiang went to the mountains to mow the grass, and since there was no clock, he could only get up at the estimated time. It was a full moon night, and the moon was bright and starry. Lao Jian came out of the house I don't know what time it was, walked about five kilometers of mountain road, there was still a full moon hanging in the sky, to the mountain, after choosing a place to mow the grass, Lao Jian sat down, ready to rest for a while and began to mow the grass. I don't want to fall asleep on the grass unconsciously because of the tiredness of the day. In his sleep, in a daze, he felt someone pull his legs and slide towards the edge of the cliff, and in desperation, he reached out and grabbed a tree, only to stop the slide, and looked carefully to see that he had reached the edge of the cliff. He suddenly lost his mind, and knew that it was a ghost pulling his legs, so he quickly got up and went home, never daring to get up early to mow the grass again.
2. There is a person in the neighboring village, who usually does a little business and exchanges eggs for salt, and wants to cross a river at a time, someone persuaded him that a person had just drowned in the river a few days ago, and his soul was still in the river. The people in the neighboring villages did not believe in evil, saying that I did not go to the deep water, and only crossed the river from the place where the water could drown me, and did not believe that I could drown myself. When he crossed the river, the weighing hammer he used to do business fell into the river, and strangely enough, the iron weighing hammer not only did not sink to the bottom of the river, but floated on the surface of the river towards the deep water, and he immediately understood that it was the drowning ghost who lured him to the deep water, and he was so frightened that he quickly came out of the river, and did not go to the weighing hammer, and finally saved his life.
3. One person from the neighboring village makes and sells hats. One day, I went to a meeting more than 30 miles away from home, and the business was not good at the meeting, so I only bought 2 a day. When the market ended and the house was in a hurry, it was already dark, and he was walking, and suddenly saw a market in front of him, people came and went, the lights were bright, and all kinds of shouting and selling were endless. At this time, an old man with a black beard invited him to live in his home, and the two talked until midnight, and the man who sold the hat fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found himself sleeping in a mass grave.
