It had been warm during the day, but now it was so cold that I shivered.
I still couldn't hold back the uneasiness in my heart and asked Luo Yinpo. Lijiacun and Hejiacun were only separated by the Xuanhe River, and they could be reached in two quarters of an hour at most.
But my dad hasn't come back for a day. It's almost dark. What's going to happen?
Luo Yinpo's face was as dark as water. After a long while, she said: "Nothing can go wrong before dark. He should be on his way back. I'll go take a look."
Luo Yinpo paused again and whispered: "Today is the winter solstice. After the night, we will pass Kanyang Pass. You are an upright person. When my mother-in-law brings your father back, we will keep you overnight. do not be afraid."
After saying this, Luo Yinpo staggered towards the entrance of the village.
Not long after she left, it got dark.
Where can I sleep?
After standing for a long time, he sat in front of the threshold and stared blankly at the village road.
The moon is like a widened eyeball, staring straight at me.
It felt like a huge boulder was weighing on my heart, making me unable to breathe.
The light in the room was getting darker and darker, so I lit a candle.
I don’t know why, but as soon as the candle was lit, it seemed like someone was blowing on it, and it went out with a puff.
I was so frightened that I lit the candle again.
This candle was not extinguished, but the candlelight was green and particularly scary...
There was an inexplicable "chichi" sound in my ears, like someone scratching the wooden board with their fingers.
My eyes suddenly fell on the coffin...
In this family... I am not the only one, there is also a "person"!
However, when I stared at the coffin, there was no other movement.
Was it because I was too nervous and misheard?
If Luo Yinpo can keep the coffin at home, nothing will happen to her...
I caught a glimpse of the chicken from the corner of my eye. It was lying under the chair, motionless, with its head tucked under its neck, as if it was afraid of something.
I suppressed my anxiety and fear, returned to the threshold, and huddled up.
The moonlight became colder and colder, and the scratching sound in my ears became clearer.
Suddenly, I heard a "hiss!" sound in my ear, which seemed to say it hurt!
I just felt like my head was buzzing and my whole scalp was numb!
Looking back suddenly, I saw that the lid of the coffin in the main room was cracked open? !
My legs were shaking with fear.
At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
I quickly turned around and looked outside the courtyard. A villager hurriedly walked into the courtyard.
He came to me, pulled me up, and said in an ugly voice: "Li Yinyang! Follow me to the dock! Luo Yinpo and your old man fell into the water!"
He dragged me and ran outside the hospital!
By the time I reacted, I had already been dragged out of the yard!
I shivered uncontrollably because I felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring directly at me from behind.
The next moment, my mind went blank.
This villager said that my father and Luo Yinpo fell into the water? !
I jerked away from his hand and ran quickly.
In half a cup of tea, I ran to the pier at the entrance of the village!
At this moment, the pier is brightly lit.
The water surface is sparkling, the wind is strong, and the waves on the hanging river are even bigger!
A large group of villagers gathered under the pier, making a lot of noise.
The villager was able to catch up with me. He grabbed my arm again and whispered: "Li Yinyang, follow me to the dock!"
I walked forward with him with a tight face, but my eyes quickly swept over the surface of the hanging river.
I didn't see my father, but I saw a corpse-recovering boat parked more than 20 meters away from the water!
Isn't that my father's boat? !
There was only the village chief on the pier. He was pacing back and forth, sweat dripping from his forehead.
When this villager took me up, the surrounding villagers had disgust in their eyes, and they whispered unpleasant words to each other.
The village chief's eyes fell on me. He immediately pointed to the corpse boat on the water and said hurriedly: "Li Yinyang, hurry up and take a look! It's all because of this plague like you! Five men drowned while fishing. ! You old man went to fish for someone, but they haven’t come up yet! When Luo Yinpo came over to look, she also lost her footing and fell into the water!"
In just one sentence, I knew what was happening...
I guess something happened to the fishermen in the water, and my dad kept fishing for them, so that’s why he didn’t come back? !
But Luo Yinpo also lost her footing and fell into the water...
How could she withstand such a torment at her age?
Knowing that my father was trying to get someone, I calmed down a little. I was now afraid that Po Luo Yin would drown.
I immediately asked the village chief, where did Luo Yinpo make a mistake? ! How long? !
The village chief immediately pointed to the edge of the pier on the right side in front of me, his face becoming more and more ugly: "It was a quarter of an hour when you fell down there. It's been two quarters of an hour since you, old man, got into the water and you haven't gotten up yet!"
As he spoke, the village chief pointed to the location of the corpse boat.
My expression immediately changed again.
The man who fished the corpse was going into the water, and there was a pig's belly to breathe.
If you can't find the "person" you want to catch for a while, you won't land immediately.
But Luo Yinpo, an old lady in her 70s or 80s, would probably be in danger if she fell into the water for a quarter of an hour!
My head was buzzing with anxiety, and I quickly walked to the spot pointed out by the village chief.
Apart from the waves lapping at the pier, where are there any signs of people struggling?
Without thinking too much, I kicked my legs and feet on the edge of the pier and plunged in with a sudden force!
The cold river water enveloped my body instantly, and I shivered from the cold, but I quickly adapted to the temperature.
I have learned to fish out corpses since I was a child, and my eyesight is better underwater!
I held my breath and swam towards the water.
The water pressure was quite strong, and a stream of heat seemed to flow out of my ears.
The hanging river is very deep, even the shore is at least more than ten meters. I dived along and could see the sand and gravel at the bottom, but I didn't see Luo Yin Po...
Now my mind is much clearer and my heart has become colder.
Luo Yinpo, I'm afraid the situation is already in danger, this person has been washed away...
My heart felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer. I felt so uncomfortable that I reluctantly swam to the bottom of the river bed and looked for it deeper in front.
But I couldn't hold my breath anymore, and there was still no sign of Luo Yinpo.
In the end I could only swim upstream...
My head broke through the water, and I gasped for breath. On the pier, the village chief looked at me, and the villagers on the shore were whispering to each other.
I felt like needles pricking my heart, so I climbed up the pier and took a few breaths.
Then I turned around and looked at the water of the hanging river. My eyes were hot, and tears immediately mixed with the river water on my cheeks and flowed down.
Luo Yinpo, I'm afraid it's over...
At this moment, a frightened and anxious voice suddenly came from behind.
"Ship! Why did the ship fall apart!"
I looked shocked and quickly looked up.
On the river in the distance, my father's corpse boat really fell apart, and the boat slowly sank...
