Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Ominous Premonition

In the past, she always thought that dreams were illusory, even if there were occasional scary scenes, they would be forgotten soon after waking up from the dream. But this time, not only could she clearly recall everything that happened in the dream, even the pain and fear in the dream were so real that she could see those resentful eyes as soon as she closed her eyes. Zhang Lina rubbed her eyes, shook her head vigorously, and let her body relax. It's just a dream. Not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or physical reasons, she suddenly felt a urge to urinate. Put on your clothes and slippers, walk gently through the aisle of the dormitory, walk to the bedroom, and press the switch of the fluorescent light.

The ballast squeaked, flickered a few times, and finally turned on. She quickly ran into the bathroom in the water room. After a while, she came out and turned on the tap to wash her hands. The tap water flowed down "squeaky", hitting her hand. Cold, milky white, with a whiff of bleach. Zhang Lina shuddered, and an ominous premonition came to her heart again. The past events of many years ago are played back slowly like a black and white movie. Since she was a child, she knew that she had a strange feeling.She often feels inexplicable fear, as if something ominous is about to happen.

That feeling usually flies by like a meteor, and she seldom catches it.Moreover, everything returned to normal soon, and nothing happened.She didn't take it to heart after too many times. Until that year, when she was eleven years old, she went to a nearby reservoir to play with her nine-year-old brother. The worrying thing finally happened. The moment she jumped off the reservoir, she clearly felt the fear in her heart, and the world suddenly became gloomy. At this time, she still didn't take it to heart.I've had this kind of fear before, but nothing happened in the end. Perhaps, this is the so-called fate.

Looking at her younger brother playing in the middle of the reservoir, she wasn't worried at all. The younger brother is the best water kid in the village and has crossed the reservoir many times.What's more, he still has an old tire in his hand as a life buoy. However, when she and her younger brother swam to the middle of the water, for some reason, the younger brother let go of his hand suddenly, and the whole body sank inexplicably. She dived into the water quickly, grabbed her brother's body, and stepped on the water with all her strength. For some reason, the younger brother, who is very good at water, became as stiff as a stone at this moment. He just hugged her leg tightly and stared at her with wide eyes.

Her body was getting heavier and heavier, and her breathing was getting more and more suffocating. The two of them sank gradually. She couldn't take it anymore, she opened her mouth, but was poured in by the river water with a fishy smell, as if she was about to fall asleep in a daze. At this time, she finally understood that if she didn't give up on her brother, she could only die here with him. She didn't know where the strength came from, but she was able to grab her brother's hand and break off his fingers one by one. She remembers it well.That day, the water in the reservoir was very clear, and she could clearly see her brother's desperate expression, and his eyes were full of resentment.

When she stretched her legs and kicked her younger brother's body, and floated to the surface with the force of the rebound, the younger brother sank forever. At that time, she didn't understand why her younger brother, who was very good at water, suddenly drowned in the reservoir?What's even more strange is that his brother's body has never been found. Later, she found out that that day was the fourteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the traditional Ghost Festival.And that reservoir, although it has always been calm, has always been very evil, and several children are drowned every year.

Legend has it that there is a "water monkey" in the reservoir, which is dedicated to dragging children into the water. That day, she also faintly saw a yellow mass behind her brother, and she thought it was just a piece of muddy water.Thinking back carefully later, it was more like the legendary "water monkey". After her brother died, her father beat her so badly that she almost died. The tough bamboo stick slammed on her body fiercely, drawing bloodstains. From beginning to end, she never begged for mercy, nor did she cry, but just looked at her father coldly, and used silence to bear the grief of her father's loss of a middle-aged son.

The father lost his mind, went completely insane, and beat her desperately, as if he was not beating his own daughter, but a demon from hell who killed his son. Later, she passed out and was in a coma for two days and two nights. After waking up, her whole body changed.She began to be afraid of light, she liked to stay in dark places, rarely appeared in the sun, she didn't like to talk, and there was no sound at all when she walked... The elders in the village said that she lost her soul.
