Chapter 23

The so-called "mirage", also called "mirage", actually refers to a strange natural phenomenon, but the so-called "mirage" originally refers to a "castle in the sky" that can only be seen but not touched.

According to historical records, there is a strange creature living at the mouth of the river, which can swallow clouds and mist, and create an illusion like a pavilion.Swallows hovering in the air see those pavilions and want to make nests under the eaves, so they will take the initiative to move forward, but those pavilions are all fake, and the swallows will stumble when they go up, and take this opportunity to lurk at the bottom of the water The "phantom" of the bird will suddenly jump out and swallow the swallow in one gulp.

This is a trap that lures the prey to the door automatically.

The name of the trap is "mirage".

Although "phantom" is just a legend, it has appeared many times in the long river of history.

The most famous one is the "castle in the air" that Qin Shihuang saw during his east tour.

It is said that Qin Shihuang was obsessed with fairy arts and longed for longevity. Everyone thought that Qin Shihuang was delusional, but they didn't know why Qin Shihuang was so.

According to historical records, it is said that Qin Shihuang, when he was on a tour to the East China Sea, saw pavilions and pavilions hanging between heaven and earth, and there were "immortals" walking and joking on them. The first emperor mistakenly thought that the castles in the sky were the dwellings of immortals in ancient legends. One of the three fairy mountains, so Xu Fu, an alchemist, was sent to sea twice.

Of course, people nowadays are controversial about the description of this period of history. Some people think that history books are history books and there is no need to over-interpret them. Some people think that according to the records at that time, the castle in the air that Qin Shihuang saw must be a legend. "Mirage" in.

As for whether this "phantom" is real, no matter how much it is debated, there is no evidence, but, looking at it today, Wang Xiaoliu'er has doubts in his heart.

He has always thought that whether it is a "sea city" or a "mirage", they are all strange natural phenomena based on optics, but the problem is, what if the things recorded in the ancient book that Grandpa boxed are true , Then, this matter, is there really another explanation?

Wang Xiaoliu'er couldn't help thinking deeply.

You must know that in the history books of the pre-Qin period, there are countless bizarre legends, and those that happened around Qin Shihuang are even more numerous. As the most legendary ruler of that era, Qin Shihuang himself is a legend. Talking about the first emperor, There seems to be no shortage of topics. If such a legendary figure really meets a legendary "big clam" on the coast of the East China Sea, then this matter is not so unacceptable.

"never mind."

Thinking about it in my heart, Wang Xiaoliu'er didn't have too many suspicions about this matter, but Wang Xiaoliu'er was quite curious about what this "phantom" that usually only appeared in legends looked like.

He pinched his fingers and counted, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

That is, the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth of the lunar calendar.

These three days can basically be regarded as the so-called "full moon night", and he is indeed able to see those "female ghosts" bathing in the river with their bare bottoms on these few days of every month.

This meant that he still had two days to figure out the way of the "phantom" in the water, and by the way, he had time to get this thing out of the way before Wu Guangcai attacked Chen Lu.

Wang Xiaoliuer summed up the total, turned around and left, went back to the village, and went directly to find the blacksmith uncle. Here, he spent a long time of soft and hard work, and spent 20 yuan of private money to find him there. He hit a hook.

The hook was about the size of a fist, and the hook bars were as thick as a little finger. Wang Xiaoliuer gestured and felt that this thing could almost catch that thing, so he bounced back home.

When I got home, I found that Grandpa didn’t seem to be back. He had been preparing until evening. Wang Xiaoliu’er finished his dinner. After nine o’clock in the evening, he sneaked to the edge of the pond by himself. Make a sound, quietly, and tiptoe over here. As soon as I got on the path next to the dam, I suddenly found a small wooden cart riding a donkey upside down by the roadside.

This is a tricycle refitted from a bicycle. The car is at the back and a bucket is in front. Wang Xiaoliuer glanced at it and felt strange, so he hurriedly walked down the side of the cart. Here, he just came out of the grass. When I turned my head and glanced at it, I saw that in the big moon field, an old man was wearing a straw hat and squatting in the grass by the river, staring intently at the seemingly calm water.

He was motionless, and it was extremely difficult to spot without looking carefully. Wang Xiaoliuer was shocked when he took a closer look!

Isn't this his grandfather, Old Wang Boss!

Mr. Wang, his only weakness is his fear of ghosts!

Generally speaking, unless it is necessary, otherwise, when it is dark, never go out easily!

But this time, he actually went out, hiding in such a place haunted by female ghosts all by himself in the middle of the night!

This is obviously a very strange thing!

But Wang Xiaoliu'er wasn't surprised at all, because he knew most of the purpose of grandpa's coming here.

"Father..."

He tiptoed down from the top, touched the old boss, and gently poked the old boss with his finger.

Old Mr. Wang was staring at the surface of the water intently. He didn't feel anyone coming. He was poked by Wang Xiaoliuer's finger in the oblique thrust.

Wang Xiaoliu'er was also startled when he saw Old Mr. Wang.

In the meantime, under the moonlight, two black things were hanging from Old Wang's eyelids, which could make people shiver when they saw it suddenly!

"Xiao Liuer?"

When the old boss saw Wang Xiaoliuer, he let out a long sigh of relief, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to watch the fun!"

Wang Xiaoliuer let out a foolish smile and lowered his voice, "Master, why did you come here in the middle of the night? You also came here to watch the female ghost take a bath?"

"Go aside!"

Hearing this, old boss Wang gave Wang Xiaoliuer a quick look, then turned his head and stared at the water, "Little Liuer, didn't you say that you can always see a few girls taking a bath in the river in the middle of the night?" Son! Let me ask you, is it near here?"

"almost."

Wang Xiaoliuer squatted aside, nodded quickly, "Sometimes, it's above, sometimes it's below, basically it's always around here."

"That's right."

Old boss Wang said, pointing to the surface of the water with his finger, "Xiao Liuer, can you still see those women now?"

"I can't see it."

Wang Xiaoliuer sniffed, "I saw it yesterday, but today it's gone."

"You came yesterday?"

"Ah."

Wang Xiaoliuer nodded, and said in a low voice, "Yesterday, I didn't see so many, I only saw one, and I'm still in the water."

"and then?"

"Then, I saw the woman in the water, so I went over. I hugged her from behind, but when she turned around, I was startled."

"Scared?"

"When I saw her face, it was Miss Chen Mei! I was so scared that I ran away, but I didn't run away. I was dragged into the water by something. Fortunately, I was told to run away by accident. Otherwise, It's really dangerous."

Wang Xiaoliu'er rubbed his nose, looked at old boss Wang, and then looked at old boss Wang, his face changed slightly and he was quite surprised.

Wang Xiaoliuer blinked, then suddenly raised her hand and patted her face.

"Slap", it hurts.

"What are you doing you?"

The old king was startled.

Wang Xiaoliuer coughed dryly, "Ah, it's okay, there's a mosquito!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Wang took off a bead hanging around his neck and handed it to Wang Xiaoliuer. Wang Xiaoliuer took it and saw that it was the bead that his grandfather picked out from the centipede's head a few days ago. the bead!

He was taken aback, "Master, is this?"

"Hang this around your neck, and mosquitoes won't dare to approach you."

"Really?"

Wang Xiaoliu'er quickly hung the beads around his neck, not to mention, the mosquitoes that were flying in front of him dodged in an instant, like a god of plague, how far they could escape in one instant!

Wang Xiaoliuer blinked his eyes, and suddenly felt that this thing is really amazing!

At this moment, he turned his head to look at the old boss Wang, only to find that the old boss Wang was still staring at the water surface intently!

"Grandpa, what are you looking at?"

"There is something in this water."

"Something?"

Wang Xiaoliuer pretended not to understand, looked at the cloud-shrouded water, and said in a low voice, "Master, did you see anyone in the water?"

"No. Did you see it?"

"I didn't see it either."

As Wang Xiaoliuer said, he moved forward, looked down, and saw a small birdcage on the ground.

The birdcage was not big, and it was covered with a black cloth. I kicked it with my foot, and there was a rustle inside, as if there was something.

"Grandpa, here..."

"Shh-"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the old boss Wang made a silent gesture with Wang Xiaoliuer, and immediately stretched out his hand and pressed Wang Xiaoliuer's shoulder. He lowered his body and looked towards the water.

"Gudong."

Along with the surface of the water, a big water bubble floated up, and flipped over on the water surface with a splash. Suddenly, a puff of white smoke like boiling water also spread from the rolling place!

Old Mr. Wang was startled, and quickly picked up a towel to cover his nose. When he turned his head to look, he saw Wang Xiaoliu'er also covered his nose with a towel!

Mr. Wang was taken aback for a moment, and before he had time to think, he turned his head and looked over. At this moment, there was another muffled sound on the surface of the water, and another big bubble burst out from the surface of the water!

"coming!"

The two lowered their bodies at the same time, and when Wang Xiaoliu'er reached out to touch the hook, the old boss Wang had already held down the cage covered with black cloth, and immediately lifted the black cloth up. A small crack, open the door of the cage...

Slowly, he stretched out his calloused hand.
