It is rare to hear of such people in this era. I remember when I was six or seven years old, my family lived in the countryside. I met a child about my age. Maybe he was not the same person. His name is Lin Jianguo. I met him when I was playing by the river in the summer.
At noon that day, the weather was very hot. I went to the river to play. Many people went to the river to swim. My family didn't allow me to go into the river, so I was playing with stones on the bank. I noticed a child the same age as me next to me, looking straight into the river. I was very curious and asked him: "What are you looking at?" He pointed to the river and said: "There is a water ghost lying on that man's back, trying to hurt him." I looked over and saw a group of people swimming. , nothing unusual. I said to him: "You are lying, there is no such thing as a water ghost." I then continued to play with my rocks. After a while, I heard someone shouting in the river. It was a man who was taking a bath who was missing, and the man who was shouting was his brother. As a result, some adults came and fished the man out from the bottom of the river. The man's face was black and blue, his mouth was foaming, his eyes were white, and his hands and feet were stiff. I was so frightened that I saw a dead person for the first time. I'll go home right away. When I got home, I suddenly remembered what the child said. I thought maybe the person who died was actually killed by a water ghost.
The next day, I came to the river bank again. The child was playing there too. I ran over and asked him: "What is your name?" He replied: "My name is Lin Jianguo." I asked him: "Can you really see ghosts?" He said: "I can." I said : "Then are you afraid?" He said: "I was afraid at first, but those ghosts seem to be afraid of me and don't dare to approach me, so I'm not afraid of them anymore." I said: "Then I won't be afraid when I play with you in the future. It's a ghost." He said, "Okay, my home is over there." He pointed to a house on the shore.
From now on I often play with Lin Jianguo. He seems to really be able to see ghosts, and he can also predict people's life and death. He told me that someone was going to die in a certain house, and indeed a funeral was being held in that house in a few days.
One day, he and I went to the roadside to buy food, and he suddenly looked at a child on the road. He whispered to me: "There is a ghost behind that child trying to push him." I looked at the child, and suddenly a truck drove over, and the child suddenly fell forward for no reason, as if he had fallen. , the wheels of the truck hit the child 's body, and the truck stopped after a distance. The child has been crushed flat. Flesh and blood were dragged all over the floor. It was so scary, I was so scared that I cried.
That night, at home, I couldn't sleep. At home, grandpa is the person with the highest prestige. I always like to ask him anything, so I ran to ask grandpa: "Are there really ghosts in this world?" Grandpa was smoking a cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke before answering. Me: "Grandpa doesn't know, because he has never seen it." I said to grandpa: "I have a friend named Lin Jianguo. He can see ghosts. Today he saw a ghost pushing a child on the road, and that The child was driven to death, but I only saw that child fall down." After hearing this, grandpa's body trembled obviously. He gently said to me: "Grandpa heard that people who can see ghosts have yin and yang. Eyes." I added: "He said those ghosts are still afraid of him, and he also knows which family wants to die." Grandpa's body visibly perked up when he heard this, and he said softly: "Grandpa has heard of such people before. , This kind of people have a name, impermanence. They know the impermanence of the world." After hearing this, I felt so magical. I said: "Then Lin Jianguo is Wu Chang. He is really awesome." Grandpa sighed and said, "But Grandpa heard that Wu Chang is generally short-lived, so you should play less with him." I felt very happy after hearing this. sad.
But I didn't listen to my grandfather's words. I still like to play with Lin Jianguo. It was not until later, when my family moved to the city, that I severed all contact with him. On the day I left, Li Yi asked my father to borrow a camera from the photo studio and asked him to take a photo of Lin Jianguo and me. When we got to the city and the photo was developed, Lin Jianguo's appearance turned into a skeleton. Maybe this is the true face of impermanence. Later, when I grew up, I went back to look for Lin Jianguo, but I couldn't find him. I heard that he was dead. From then on, I never heard the name Wu Chang again.
