What's it like underwater?

There are always typhoons, strong winds and floods these days. Let's talk about strange things underwater.

When I was a child, I grew up near Weishan Lake.

Few children who grow up near the water can't swim. Although the posture is not good-looking, most of them are dog planers, but they are very practical.

Besides, there are really masters.

When I was a child, I had a classmate named Zheng. He has a particularly powerful skill: holding his breath.

I remember a movie starring Jet Li. He and his son practice holding their breath in the washbasin every day, and Kobayashi also practices holding his breath every day.

He can't breathe. He can hold his breath underwater for two or three minutes and then dive far away.

He saw a little girl washing clothes by the river in the distance, so he dived over, dived to the shore, and suddenly appeared on the water, which scared her.

I admired him when I was a child. I always wanted to learn from him as a teacher, but he died mysteriously and failed.

Because he offended someone.

That's a foreign craftsman who specializes in catching old turtles.

On our side, catching old turtles is generally fishing, and special old turtle hooks are used.

The old turtle hook is special. It uses steel nails. Break the end of the nail cap with pliers and sharpen both ends. There is a fishing line tied in the middle of the hook. This is an old turtle hook.

Yes, the old turtle hook is a straight hook.

When fishing an old turtle, put a piece of pig liver on the straight hook, then tie a small foam to one end of the fishing line and throw it into the lake.

The old tortoise ate it in one bite. It swallowed pig liver in one gulp, and it was stuck in its mouth.

When you are on the shore, you can see the foam tied to the fishing line moving, and you will know that there is an old turtle hanging below. Just fish it out.

This kind of straight hook is not only used to catch old turtles, but also to catch big snakes, but catching big snakes requires live bait, such as tying a toad.

According to the Romance of Gods, Jiang Ziya fished with a straight hook, "Weihe River catches profits, Tongjiang River catches names", and Jiang Taigong fished, so whoever wants to take the bait will take the bait.

In fact, it also implies a meaning that Jiang Ziya used a straight hook to catch dragons.

Because turtles, turtles and snakes are all sons of dragons, that is, dragons.

The emperor is called the real dragon son of heaven, and the dragon son is naturally the future emperor, so Jiang Ziya caught Zhou Wenwang straight, that is, he caught the dragon son, which implies this folk knowledge, which many experts don't know.

So turtles, turtles and snakes are not eaten by many knowledgeable people.

Because the Dragon King is in charge of wealth, if you eat his offspring, your natural wealth will be even worse.

Say something more. There are many ancient books, many talents and many things. There are many folk customs and old rules hidden between the lines. They are very practical and interesting. These are really good things.

Nowadays, many experts interpret ancient books as circumstantial evidence, which is eloquent and forceful, but some of them don't listen and still feel a little boring.

Why?

It is because of the lack of these interesting folk knowledge.

I have always felt that to interpret ancient books, we must decipher the folk codes hidden in ancient books, and we must integrate China's traditional folk culture, folk culture and some old rules handed down from ancient times.

For example, how do animals practice, who is the most powerful among the spirit beasts, why do animals turn into human forms, whether dragons really exist, whether people can really fly in the daytime, what is the "ghost" as a tiger, and why are tiger teeth the most evil spirits?

What is Feng Shui? Is feng shui useful? How to decorate simple feng shui at home? What will affect Feng Shui at home? Can you tell a person's personality through his face? Will plastic surgery affect his luck?

Some so-called folk customs, seemingly mysterious, actually contain simple scientific truth, which can be explained by science, but many things are broken, but unfortunately everyone doesn't know.

I also compiled some folk knowledge in this field and published it in the internal community of the knowledge planet. I will sort it out systematically and post it continuously in the future. I think it's quite interesting.

These are beside the point. Let's continue to tell the story.

Let's start by saying that Zheng Dangshi is looking for this kind of old turtle hook everywhere, because there is a small foam on the old turtle hook, which is easy to identify.

He and his father stole the old tortoise before dawn.

His father shone a flashlight on him on the shore, and he fished for old turtle hooks in the water, catching several almost every day.

After catching the old turtle, his father put it in a bag and carried it to the town to sell money, then bought wine to drink. This is an old drunk.

Later, when he was fishing for turtles, he found that all the old turtle hooks were under the old willow tree.

At that time, there was a river beach with many thick old willows stacked together. The impact of the flood washed away the soil under the willow roots, and the underwater roots were all dense, like a big net.

Many people say that swimming is most afraid of aquatic plants, but it is not.

Anyone who often plays in the wild lake knows that when you meet aquatic plants, slowly separate them with your palm and don't let them entangle your body. It's not a big problem.

What we are most afraid of is the roots of trees, especially the roots of this willow group, which are very developed, just like many large nets intertwined. Once people go in, they get stuck.

At that time, Kobayashi was a little worried and said otherwise, forget it today.

But his alcoholic dad disagreed and stared and said, forget it? ! You fucking sell blood for workers in exchange for wine? !

Then I kicked him.

Lin Xiaolin never appeared again.

Later, professional fishermen sawed off the developed roots before they fished out the bodies.

His stomach is full of water, like a big drum, and a dozen iron rings are tied around his swollen arm.

This ring is used to catch old turtles. If you pull the old turtle up along the fishing line, it will cling to the bottom of the river with its four claws, commonly known as hanging the bottom. If you can't pull it, you will slide down the fishing line and hit the old turtle. When it is afraid, it will be pulled up.

In the evening, Linlin's father was as drunk as a fiddler, walked to the lake with a red lantern and whispered, Linlin, Linlin, go home-

The sound was sad and echoed on the beach for a long time.

This is also the first time I have faced death seriously.

Linlin is my good friend, and I'm not afraid. In the evening, I sneaked to the lake and burned some paper for him (I didn't know I wanted to buy yellow paper at that time, and I didn't have the money to buy it, so I burned two exercise books).

More than 20 years have passed, and I still remember the mood at that time. It was a very angry and sad mood.

Such a lively child died, just like a fish, a shrimp and a grass. He died casually, silently and without meaning.

Who are you to blame?

Blame the turtle catcher, blame his alcoholic dad? Blame that era?

Well, it's hard to say.

We can only wish him to be reborn as soon as possible, and don't be such a bad child in the next life.

Later, I met another person who was good at playing with water.

That's a college swimming class. Our school swimming pool is not bad, it is quite big, and there is a very high and large platform in the deep water area.

At that time, the coach was giving a lecture to everyone, telling them what to pay attention to, when he saw a classmate climb to the high platform.

At that time, the old man was peeking at the girl, and I punched him hard. He was shocked and shouted: someone is going to commit suicide!

Shocked the audience.

What shocked the whole class even more was that Buddy jumped high with a diving posture similar to that of an Olympic champion, and then jumped directly into the water. After diving for a long time, he slowly came up, almost as powerful as Linlin.

Lao Yan thought it was cool, so he took me to teach him to dive so that he could pick up girls in the future.

He told Lao Yan that he had been practicing like this since he was a child, and Rome was not built in a day. It is estimated that Lao Yan will not be able to practice for several years.

I invited him to drink iced coke and sat down to chat with him.

He said that he is from Yichang, Hubei Province, next to the Yangtze River, with deep mountains and canyons and rivers. Naturally, there are also big fish, a ten-foot-long big herring, a big silver carp and a one-thousand-pound finless porpoise. When he was a child, he saw all this.

At that time, life was hard, and the village often caught big fish collectively and then distributed some from door to door.

In order to catch big fish, rolling hooks are usually used.

This rolling hook is hundreds of large iron hooks polished by hand and tied to a hemp rope soaked in tung oil. The rope was tied with floating objects, which fell into the lead pendant, and was thrown in the middle of the river, semi-suspended at the bottom of the river. When a big fish passes by, it will be hooked by a rolling hook.

There are many rolling hooks, hundreds of them, so the big fish can't run away as long as they are hooked by the hooks. The more it struggles, the more hooks it sticks into the meat. Finally, the whole rope is tied to it, tied tightly, and finally exposed.

This kind of fish specializes in catching big fish, and hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of fish can't escape.

While fishing for big fish with rolling hooks is generally to fry fish with local explosives, which is simple, rude and effective.

Use a plastic bag to tighten the soil explosive, plug in the detonator fuse, and then tie a big stone. When the fuse burns almost, throw it into the water quickly.

This is very dangerous. Inadvertently, the explosive was thrown late, and an arm or even a life could not be saved.

This kind of earth explosive is very powerful in frying fish. Sometimes a bomb falls and a large area of water is covered with white fish.

However, some big fish were stunned by the explosion and sank into the water, so they had to rely on people to hold big stones and sink into the water to pick up the fish.

So local boys, who are good at water, are trained in this way.

When he was a child, he often played with his friends and had a crazy time.

There is an ancient stone bridge at the head of their village, and an antique sword hangs under it. It is said that this is called dragon sword, in order not to let jiaozi go.

Under the stone bridge is a deep pool. This bridge is seven or eight meters high. As soon as they ran away with the little doll, they jumped off it in line. At that time, the Olympic Games was hot and diving was in full swing. They also learned to dive in various positions.

Strangely, it is said that their death is a very dangerous act, and it may be inferred that their arms are broken, but they are also lucky and honest. Although some of them sprained their waist and legs, they were not serious.

But one day, they came here with an old man playing with monkeys. The old man brought a little monkey, who wore a red cotton-padded jacket, saluted, somersaulted, drummed and bowed his head to eat.

Everyone laughed and threw food at it.

Monkeys will give cigarettes to the elderly, talk about local history and culture, and pay special attention to whether there are celebrities and ancient tombs in the local area.

Later, he saw Gu Jian on the bridge and looked under it for a long time.

The next day, the monkey man left and Gu Jian disappeared.

Some people say that the old man is a treasure suppressor. He pretends to be a monkey man and likes to chat with old people. In fact, he just wants to find clues to the treasure.

This Gu Jian was taken by the little monkey when he jumped off the bridge in the dark.

But what is going on, no one knows.

Later, the bridge began to have accidents, and people always died for no reason.

First, when frying fish, someone dropped a stone and never came up again.

Later, I found a lot of fishermen, put down the hook and plowed around the bottom of the river, only to find this man, only to find that he was propped up with his hands and feet, his head buried in his crotch, like a ball in a ball.

Later, there was a flood here, and several bodies rushed over, and I don't know whose family it was.

In a word, the feng shui here is broken, and no one dares to dive here anymore.

One summer, he was idle and wanted to go fishing by the river. He walked across the stone bridge and looked down. Suddenly he was a little excited.

He felt a huge face appeared underwater, charming and sexy, full of temptation, just like the charming lips of a female spy in a movie, blowing into his ear and mumbling sweet words.

From a distance, the more excited he was, his face flushed, and he felt that the water was like a huge whirlpool. The whirlpool is like a pair of eyes, sucking all his energy and whispering to him: Come on, come on-

Unconsciously, he threw away the fishing rod, kicked off his shoes, stepped onto the stone bridge and began to jump.

Just as he was about to jump, he felt that his body was suddenly caught by a force.

Then a familiar voice called him desperately, calling his nickname loudly, telling him to go home quickly and not to come here again.

He was so excited that he suddenly woke up and found himself standing by the bridge. There was a swift current below, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He picked up his shoes and ran home in despair. On the way, he thought in despair: who is the one who woke him up?

He thought and thought, that should be his mother.

His mother died when he was very young, so he became a fearless boy because no one loved him.

His tears came down.

He misses his mother very much.
