Chapter 45 Cannibal Reservoir
Sansheng Reservoir is located in Shengli Township at the end of the eastern suburbs, 50 kilometers away from Dongzhou City. It is named after the intersection of three small rivers and is surrounded by beautiful mountains and scenery.
It was originally a good place for tourists to escape the summer and visit the lake, but it was hastily closed three years ago.
It is said that due to defects in the construction of the dam and insufficient safety measures, unfortunate incidents of tourists falling into the water and drowning often occur.
As more people died, the reservoir gradually became unclean. When it was windy or rainy, the water would turn up and sweep passersby into the water.
Anyone who fell into the water has never seen anyone alive or dead.
Some people say that it is a water monkey that eats people, while others say that it is a water ghost that pulls a substitute.
But no matter what the reason, there are no words related to the bride.
It seems that we can only go to the place for on-site investigation.
Rubbing my eyes, I turned off my phone and fell on the bed, falling asleep with worries.
Early the next morning, I went to a specialty store to buy a set of diving equipment and some miscellaneous things, and filled a mountaineering bag with them.
Then, carrying a heavy bag, he wandered around the city for two times, looking for an opportunity to shake off the little tail behind him, took a taxi and rushed to the bus station.
The taxi merged into the crowded lane. I looked through the rear window and saw a very eye-catching short-haired beauty standing in the crowd, looking around with a rather anxious expression.
After we parted from the Eight Immortals Bun Shop that night, this beauty really didn't give up and followed me almost day and night every day.
She goes wherever I go during the day, and when I come home at night, she drives a car and stands guard outside my house, like a tail that can't be shaken off.
I admire her amazing perseverance, but I don’t want her to disrupt the live broadcast.
The taxi drove away, and Zhan Lan's figure disappeared into the flow of people. I turned around and let out a long sigh of relief.
When I arrived at the bus station, I took the fastest bus. After an unsteady hour, I arrived in Shengli Township.
I had a bowl of beef noodles at a small restaurant, then found a black car and rushed to Sansheng Reservoir.
Carrying a heavy mountaineering bag and transferring cars all the way, I was so tired that I was sweating profusely. I couldn’t help but sigh that this was too troublesome. It seemed that I had to make money as soon as possible to buy a car.
The van drove into the country road, with dense trees on both sides, and the scenery gradually became desolate.
"Brother, look at how big your bag is, are you also going to the reservoir to fish?" On the way, the driver with a cigarette in his mouth chatted with me.
"Fishing? Didn't you say that the reservoir is not clean and people often fall into the water? Is there anyone who dares to go fishing?" I asked in surprise.
"There was an accident at the reservoir a few years ago. Very few people went there. I don't know what the situation is now. I heard him say that as long as you go when the weather is good and leave before dark, there will be no problem. question."
"Brother, you are a local, do you know what happened to the reservoir?"
"Anyway, the reservoir has been closed, so it's okay to talk to you." The driver was a talkative middle-aged man who talked endlessly. "When the reservoir was built, the elders in our village did not agree."
"They said that the location of the reservoir was not chosen well, which affected our feng shui. We couldn't suppress our resentment, so people always drowned."
"Except for us, no one outside knows that the reservoir used to be a small pool called Bride's Pool."
The driver blew out the cigarette butt out the window and his expression became mysterious.
"Bride's Pool?" I grabbed the key word, my eyes widened, and I finally heard the word related to the bride, and I quickly gave the driver a cigarette.
"Brother, I like to listen to stories the most. Please tell me, what's so special about this bride's pool?"
The cigarette was a good one given by the fat guy from Longfu Town. The driver was very satisfied with the cigarette and my curious reaction. He put the cigarette between his ears and continued talking.
"It was said that it was in ancient times. I don't know the specific era. A high official fell in love with the daughter of a poor family and sent eight sedans to welcome her. Who knew that the girl was unwilling, so they gave her parents to her He killed her and tied the girl to a sedan chair."
"When I came back, I didn't know why I got lost. The bearers walked to a small pool in a daze. Suddenly, many dark clouds appeared in the sky where the sun was originally hanging, covering the sun, and then blew up again. The strange wind blew the sedan chair and the bride into the pool."
"Afterwards, when the bearers picked up the bride, she was already dead. They couldn't explain it to the officials when they returned. After discussing it, they decided to put the dead bride back in the sedan chair and carry her back."
"After they returned, they gave money to the matchmaker who picked up the bride and sent the dead bride into the bridal chamber. Because the bride was wearing a red hijab, she was taking a concubine, and she went through the back door, so no one noticed the problem with the bride."
"At night, the drunken official entered the bridal chamber and made no sound. No one in the house paid attention, thinking that he was drunk."
"On the second day, water came out from the crack in the door of the bridal chamber, and everyone realized something was wrong. The servant kicked the door open and broke in. He was so frightened by the situation inside that he sat on the ground."
Having said this, the driver paused and turned his head to look at me with a sullen face.
"Guess what they saw?"
