Chapter 102 The vision before death

After hearing this, I just realized that the child had just died after immersion.It's just that the other ghosts are poor, and I can save them, but I can't help this water ghost, because to save them, you have to jump into the river yourself and exchange your life for their reincarnation.

Although I am devoted to doing good and accumulating yin and virtue, I have not yet had the heart of a bodhisattva, and I cannot use my life to save a water ghost.

I told him, I have more energy than energy for this task, you should just wait here, God has the virtue of good life, as long as you don't do harm, a substitute will be sent to reincarnate you.

I didn't lie to him about this, not every drowning ghost has to harm others by himself in order to be reincarnated.After some unjust souls who fell into the water and died became water ghosts, after waiting for several years, some damned people would fall into the river and be their scapegoats.

Unexpectedly, the little boy burst into tears when he heard me say that he was unwilling to help him.He said: "I am only 12 years old this year. A few days ago, I was dragged by my classmates to take a bath in the upstream river. I was entangled by a water ghost and dragged into the bottom of the water. I became his scapegoat. I died so unjustly. Now, I miss Mom and Dad, I want to go back to the shore, but it’s dark and cold down there, and I’m so scared. Please have pity on me, can you pull me up? I don’t want to stay underwater alone, I’m so scared.”

Hearing what he said, I really felt very uncomfortable. He is indeed very pitiful.However, no matter how pitiful he is, he is still a water ghost, and there is a limit to helping, isn't there?So I sighed helplessly: "This is all fate. Maybe the cause of your previous life has the result of this life, and the reincarnation of cause and effect is all predestined."

I'm telling him that the reason why you will be the water ghost's scapegoat in this life must be the cause planted in the previous life, so if you have such a result in this life, you are not wronged, so let him feel at ease not to feel resentment.

The little boy was a little helpless after hearing this, and he said: "Aren't you a gentleman who has done good deeds? As long as you come down, you can change my reincarnation. Isn't it the cause of the previous life and the result of the present life when we meet today? You see I am so young, I have to be trapped here alone, suffering from the pain of this icy river. If you don’t want to help me, I will have to wait at the bottom of this river day after day, year after year for hundreds of years, Millennium, I am really pitiful, please save me!"

To be honest, I was a little shaken by the words of the water ghost. Yes, when I met him this time, who can say that it wasn't the cause I planted in my previous life?It's just that if I want to exchange my life for his reincarnation, although I ask myself that I am not a bad person but a good person, I have not yet reached the heart of a bodhisattva.I could only sigh and said: "All karma has its own destiny. If you fell into the water today and you failed to entrust me to be your dead ghost, this is karma. I see you are pitiful. If you have something unfinished Wish, come quickly, maybe I can help you a little bit."

At this time, the water ghost also knew that it was impossible for me to reincarnate it, so it was a little sad.After being silent for a while, he said: "My bones are still in the water. My parents must be very sad if they can't find me. Please tell my family, sir, that I am here."

This request is not high, so I nodded and agreed immediately, then asked his family's address and name, and then left.The water ghost was left standing on the water with a sad face and crying...

He is very pitiful, but all of this is preordained, and no one owes him.

The next day, I found his family according to the address Shui Gui told me.His parents saw me coming to the door and asked me what was the matter?
I looked at his parents. It was obvious that they had been overly sad for the past few days, and their eyes were still red and swollen.So I asked him, "Are you looking for your son?"

When the child's parents heard my question, they nodded sharply and said, "My son went swimming in the river with other children a few days ago and never came back. The other children said he was washed away by the water, but we searched for it for a few days. I didn't find it. Could it be that my brother saw my son?"

I nodded and told them their kid was under that bridge.

They all wept, knowing that this meant that his son was indeed drowned.Afterwards, I took them to the bottom of the bridge, and soon finally brought the child's body up.The child was hooked by a steel bar piercing the corpse on the bridge pier. If no one knows the exact location, it is really difficult to find it underwater.

The child was the one I saw last night. The body was brought home, and both parents were crying very sadly.They were also curious and asked me how I knew the child's body was under the pier.I told what happened last night, which made my parents even more sad.

After a few words of consolation, the two of them got better. Then, the child's mother told me that in fact, there were some abnormalities in the days before the child's accident, but they didn't pay much attention to it.If they had known this earlier, they would have watched their children and all this would not have happened.

On the days when people are about to die, there will be some abnormalities. I believe this, so I just tell them that everything is doomed early on, and it is useless no matter how closely you look at it.

They nodded and told me about the weird things that happened to the kid before the accident.It turned out that in the few days before the child's accident, when the parents got up in the middle of the night, they always saw their son sitting in the living room, talking to himself.

At first, the parents didn't pay much attention to it, and asked him why he didn't sleep, but he didn't speak, just sat there in a daze.It was like this for several days in a row. In the next few days, the parents also felt that something was wrong, because they asked their son the next day why when they got up in the middle of the night and sat in a daze in the living room, the son said that he had been sleeping and did not get up to visit. hall.

However, the parents are very sure that the son will indeed get up in the middle of the night and sit in the living room, talking to himself, as if someone else is talking to him in the living room.

Until the day of the accident, it was still in the morning, and the child's mother had just gotten up to cook, when she heard the door of the living room open, so she went out to have a look, only to see a tall black shadow enter the room. When she entered her home, her mother was taken aback because she couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but when she wiped her eyes, the man disappeared and the door was closed, just like before. That person never came in.

The mother told the father about it, and both of them were upset.During the day, children came to play at home, so a group of children played in the yard.At that time, there were many planks in the yard, and my father used these planks in the yard to make a partition wall at home.

But at this time, suddenly the son lay down on one of the wooden boards, motionless, as if sleeping.His father told him to get up quickly, the board was dirty.

But the son refused to get up, and kissed the board fiercely. He smiled and said to his father: If I die, I will sleep on this board. Make me a coffin with a plank!
At that time, my father felt very harsh and unlucky when he heard it.He scolded his son, saying he was so young, where did he learn such words, pulled him up from the wooden board, and beat him to tears.

The son was beaten and cried, and other friends took him outside to play, and the father didn't care.But once he went out, he never came back. Soon, other friends rushed into his room, crying and telling him that his son was washed away by the water.

The parents almost fainted from fright, and hurried to the place where their son fell into the water. They searched for three or four days but failed to find the child's body.

Listening to my parents talking about these things, I could only keep sighing, yes, there are some abnormalities before death.For example, some people touch their coffins in the middle of the night in the nights before they die.Generally in rural areas, when people get old, their children will make coffins for the old people, paint them black, and place them on the top of the attic where no one usually goes.But before the old man died, the children would usually hear someone going up to the attic in the middle of the night, making the coffin thud, and when they went to the coffin in the attic the next day, they would find that the coffin lid was covered with fingerprints.

In the nights before someone died, the family dog ​​kept barking, as if a stranger had come outside the house in the middle of the night.Everyone should know that dogs generally don't bark to acquaintances, and only bark when they see strangers, especially at night.But if you open the door or window to look, you will find that there is no one outside the house.But the dog barked fiercely.

Before death, there are many examples of such abnormalities, which is not surprising.I comforted the child’s parents and told them, since your son said he liked that piece of wood, then you can use that piece of wood to make him a coffin!
