I don't know if there are ghosts in the world, but I do know that karma does exist. Today I'm going to tell you a story about karma:
At that time, I was a child in a remote village. There was only one well in the village that supplied water to the whole village. It was impossible for such a large project as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project to be implemented in our remote village.
Because this well is the only water supply, everyone is very protective of it. Every day, people in the village take turns to look after it.
But there is always a so-called local tyrant in every territory.
"Please let me go, I just want some water, just a little bit." Li Erwa, half lying on the ground, begged Wang Pizi who was standing in front of him.
Wang Pizi is the local boss of our village. Every day, anyone in the village who wants to drink water must get Wang Pizi's approval. Li Erwa has a sick mother at home, so water is naturally indispensable when boiling medicine every day.
Today, because Li Erwa accidentally fell, all the water he pumped back spilled. Wang Pizi stipulated that the water for each household should be calculated according to the number of people in the family, and the water would be gone after it was pumped back according to the regulations. Li Erwa secretly prepared to pump more water himself, but he didn't expect to be caught by Wang Pizi.
The hypocritical Wang Pizi was ready to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. Li Erwa had no choice but to think of his sick old mother at home and the fact that there was no water left for the day. Wang Pizi was going too far, so Li Erwa wanted to get angry and fight with Wang Pizi. Maybe he would have a chance to win.
But unexpectedly, as soon as Li Erwa stood up, he saw his old mother walking towards him quietly and slowly not far away.
When Li Erwa saw that his mother could get out of bed, he quickly went over to help her and said, "Mom, why did you get out of bed?" Li Erwa's mother looked at Li Erwa and said, "Erwa, I feel very bad today. I saw that you took so long to fetch water and didn't come home, so I was worried and came out to check on you."
"Even if your mother comes, don't even think about getting water. This is the village rule." Wang Pizi said to Li Erwa and his mother.
Li Erwa's anger was aroused again. At this moment, he only wanted to kill Wang Pizi, otherwise more people would be harmed by him.
Although Li Erwa's mother is old, she still understands her son's character. Li Erwa's mother said to Li Erwa, "Erwa , do ghosts really exist in the world ? Let's go."
Li Erwa didn't know what to do when he heard his mother say that. But when Li Erwa was about to turn around, his mother turned around and said something to Wang Pizi. Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and Li Erwa didn't hear what his mother said, but he found that Wang Pizi's face suddenly changed, showing fear.
Li Erwa originally wanted to ask his mother to Wang Pizi whether ghosts really exist in the world , or rather, what did she say to other people? But Li Erwa's mother did not answer his question, so Li Erwa had to give up.
Late at night fell on the village. Unlike now, every household did not have its own toilet. Instead, there were two toilets in the village, one at the end and one in the middle.
I seldom get up at night, but that day I suddenly woke up for no apparent reason and wanted to go to the toilet. I originally thought I could just do it near my home, but when I walked out of the house, I found a figure running past my door. I was originally confused, but suddenly I became much more sober. I saw that the man was Wang Pi Zi, so I thought I should just do it quickly and go back to sleep.
But things were not as simple as I imagined. Just when I finished going to the bathroom, another figure walked past my door. This figure walked slowly. I took a closer look and was even more shocked than before, because this person was Li Erwa's mother.
From this, it seemed that Li Erwa's mother was following Wang Pizi, and my curiosity was aroused. I secretly followed Li Erwa's mother, because it was very dark at night and the moonlight was not very bright, I was not afraid of being discovered by the two of them.
After walking for a while, I found that Li Erwa's mother came to the well. But I didn't notice Wang Pizi. I was suddenly a little scared. The strange thing was that I was not scared just now, so why was I scared all of a sudden?
When I looked around for Wang Pizi, I suddenly felt a beam of light shining on me. I was immediately frightened and couldn't move at all. But I saw that the light came from Li Erwa's mother's eyes. I just stood there and watched everything.
Wang Pizi walked out from the front of the well. No, to be exact, he crawled out. He just appeared out of nowhere.
Li Erwa's mother still walked slowly to Wang Pizi without even looking at me, as if I didn't exist at all.
Li Erwa's mother walked up to Wang Pizi, carried Wang Pizi on her back, and said something in the direction of the well. It was that sentence that made me determined to leave the village and not drink the water from the well anymore.
"Erwa, go with peace of mind. Wang Qing has realized his mistake and will no longer interfere with the village's water resources." Wang Qing is Wang Pizi's real name, but few people call him by his real name, and he is happy for others to call him Wang Pizi.
I saw a wisp of white smoke rising slowly from the well mouth. Don't ask me how I saw it, I saw it so clearly, that was Li Erwa. I was surprised again, if this was Li Erwa, then who was the one in the daytime?
There were many things I didn't understand when I was young. I saw that Li Erwa didn't agree with his mother, but floated to Wang Pizi's side and looked at his mother, "Evil will be punished. With such a person in the village, the people can't live a normal life. Even if he becomes a good person, his true nature will be revealed again sooner or later." Li Erwa said in a deep voice.
Later, I vaguely seemed to see Li Erwa’s mother walking towards me, but I couldn’t remember clearly what happened after that.
The next day, I woke up and lay on the bed, surrounded by a group of people, including my parents, grandparents, and they were all excited to see me wake up. At this time, I saw Li Erwa's mother, who was quietly looking at me at the door, but I was very scared.
My mother brought me a bowl of soup and told me that I needed to be well-nourished after being in a coma for three days. When I saw the soup in the bowl, I suddenly remembered the scene of Li Erwa floating out of the well at night. And my mother just said that I was in a coma for three days, so how could I be in a coma later? And for such a long time.
I asked my mother if Li Erwa was at home. Everyone looked at me with a confused expression. My mother said that Li Erwa disappeared after the incident that day, leaving his sick mother behind. It was quite pitiful.
Can his mother get out of bed and walk? I just stared at Li Erwa's mother. It seemed that no one else could see her except me.
His mother couldn't get out of bed. After Li Erwa disappeared, his mother was very sad, but she didn't seem to be sad. But one person changed a lot. Wang Pizi no longer managed the villagers' drinking water problem, and took the initiative to help others fetch water. Wang Pizi now often visits Li Erwa's mother's home and takes care of her.
When I looked up again, Li Erwa's mother had disappeared. I don't know if it was my hallucination or something else, but the only thing I can be sure of is that Li Erwa is dead.
That night, Li Erwa wanted to fetch water under the cover of darkness, but he almost fell in accidentally. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and used his hands to support the edge of the well in time.
But when Li Erwa was about to climb up, Wang Pizi appeared, and Li Erwa never came up again.
As for how Li Erwa's mother knew about this, I don't know. Maybe they didn't want me to know too much.
It’s just that the current Wang Pizi is not the real Wang Pizi.
