The following story will be told. It is a true story that my older brother has experienced. It happened at the end of March 2003.
The story goes that Ha was the second son of my aunt. When he grew up, he studied until he graduated from Mathayom 3, but did not continue his studies. So I went to study driving with a relative who lived in the city for 1 year. Later, I went to look for work in Bangkok. I had friends who went to work first help me find work, namely driving a taxi for hire. By renting from the boss on a daily basis and providing a security deposit along with completion.
He has been driving a hired taxi for over a year. The boss asked him to drive the car home to drop off the children. Going to and from school probably because he's a good person. Honest and honest, receives a salary of 7,000 baht and provides accommodation. Without paying for room, water, or electricity in any way.
Later, he got to know a beautiful woman. She is a professional vendor selling Isaan food, including laap, soup, and papaya salad in the Nang Loeng area. They are people from the northeastern region and rent from the same place. I have been able to support this shop regularly. familiarity It creates love and compassion for each other. and have been visiting each other for a long time, almost a year So the two agreed to get married.
It was found that he had saved quite a bit of money. So he asked to resign from his job to return home with the girl he loved.
When he got to the house he told him about his love for this girl and agreed to get married. When parents found out, they didn't stop them. Because the time is right to get married. Money can be saved and earned. On an auspicious day, go and ask. with dowry and set a wedding date as well
When the wedding day arrived, the wedding utensils were arranged. Necessary belongings were boarded in a minibus, along with 20 relatives, leaving at 4:00 a.m. that day in time for the wedding. On that day, my elder brother also attended the event.
Arrived at the bride's house at around 7:30 a.m., which is about 12 kilometers from the city. We were warmly welcomed by the bride's side. and everything is friendly When it's time for the wedding The bride and groom entered the ceremony. Sitting side by side in front of Bai Sri To perform a traditional ceremony of the Isan people.
When the ceremony was finished, they tied their hands together. Give blessings to each other After that, there was respect for the descendants. Elder relatives, parents, then the ceremony is completed.
Then there was a feast of rice, fish, food, liquor, and beer, especially when the female host fed the male host. There was a lot of banter, fun, and hilarity. It was almost noon that we were able to rest. Until 2 p.m., the groom's relatives bid farewell and returned home. Before returning, the bride's relatives prepared food for her. in order to be able to eat along the way when hungry
It was time to say goodbye. Then they all got into the car and traveled home. The car headed into the city. Then get off the main road and head home.
When the car drives through the rice fields About 30 kilometers into the grove we saw a pond and on the bank there was a large walnut tree. It was about 15 meters from the main road, so I told the driver to slow down. Then he stopped under the shade of a tree. to take a break and eat
When the car stopped, everyone gradually got out of the car and rested under the shade of the Wa. to take a break and eat Most don't go to the bathroom. There were only my brother and 3-4 old women bathing in that swamp. Because the weather is too hot
When they went down to take a shower Instead of taking a normal shower and washing yourself, it's not possible. But they went to play in the water. Use your hand to stir the water to make a sound like a drum. Ready to sing and tease each other The sound of laughter echoed throughout the area. In addition, they all went to pick lotus flowers to play with.
About 8 wa from the pond to the north is a plateau mound approximately 1 rai in size with a large Bodhi tree in the middle. Beneath the Bodhi tree is the Pu Ta shrine. There are Takhian trees, Tabaek trees, Padauk trees, and Deciduous dipterocarp trees all lined up around the mound. Everyone who goes to play in the water in the swamp knows that This pond has been a treasured possession of Chao Pu Ta for a long time. No one can offend.
While they were playing in the water and having fun. Something strange happened: there was a large snake as big as a coconut tree, white and black, with its head raised and its neck about 3 cubits above the water, its mouth open and its tongue stuck out. Both eyes are the size of duck eggs. and red like fire Everyone saw it and was shocked and screamed!!!
They all scrambled to escape to shore and fainted. The nurses had to help each other for a long time before he recovered. When everyone goes ashore The large snake dived into the water and disappeared.
I saw every incident. When they had all gotten out of the swamp I thought I was going to eat food. Everyone said they didn't have to. It was better to hurry home because something bad had happened.
After that, they all gradually got into the car and prepared to travel home. But when the driver started the car, it wouldn't start. No matter how much it started, it wouldn't start. I checked the engine oil, wiring, everything was normal. Everyone was saddened, so they all got out of the car. Sitting in groups waiting for traffic to get stuck.
At that time, a man walked nearby. The bridge is connected with a net over the shoulder. I understand that he probably went to cast a fish net and came back to see us all sitting together. and saw the driver starting the car but it wouldn't start, so he asked, "Where do you all come from and where are you going?"
My brother said “Coming from Roi Et Province Going to my younger sister's wedding. When finished, we will take each other back to Yasothon Province. And they stopped to rest and take a bath at this pond and then they would take each other home. But the car won't start. I don't know what's wrong. I inspected the car and it was fine.”
The man went on to say: “They took a shower together. Did you ask permission from Grandfather and Grandpa first?” and pointed at the Bodhi tree. “Did you make any noise?”
“Guys, I was wrong. Because he didn't know that Grandfather and Grandfather would prohibit him. Please help me.”
The man said “Let someone go find some flowers. If there are incense sticks and candles, even better. Grandfather and grandfather are very kind. I know because my rice field is stuck in this swamp.”
Then he had someone rush to find incense sticks, candles, and flowers. I happened to have some left in the car. When I found them, the man took us all to the Pu Ta Shrine under the shade of a large Bodhi tree. When we arrived, we got together to pay respects. Then the man lit incense sticks and placed flowers on a plate. and received more than a request for forgiveness on our behalf that
“My grandfather, Relatives came from Roi Et to attend the wedding. On their way back to Yasothon, they gathered to stay in the shade of a tree and bathe in a swamp. Because he didn't know that his grandfather and grandfather were jealous of him. has done wrong Please forgive me. Please forgive my distant relatives.”
The time was almost dusk. Suddenly the candle that had been lit suddenly extinguished. It shows that Grandfather and Grandpa have forgiven us. So they went home without worrying any further.
Everyone cheered together, raising their hands to say thank you to Grandfather and Grandfather and bid farewell. When they went to look for a car The driver went up and started it once and it strangely stuck. Everyone was happy to say thank you and bid farewell to that kind man. and together they boarded the car and set off towards Yasothon Province.
They all commented that it was amazing. That big snake must have been a disguised grandfather who came to tell us. and causing us to not be able to start the car But when I asked for forgiveness, everything went well. Strange things really do exist in this world. There were 4-5 people in the car who said they never believed them.
Never seen anything mysterious like this. Now I believe it. Because he knew the situation and saw it with his own eyes.
It was very late and the sun was about to set. Flocks of crows fly back to their nests. We all made it home safely.
