In my ears, I suddenly heard a woman laughing.
The sound was harsh and dark...
This narrow river suddenly made people's hair stand on end.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Wang Xue beside me.
He was staring straight at us, his glasses had gone somewhere, and his eyes were so black that the whites of them were missing!
The corner of his mouth twitched again, and he let out a high-pitched laugh, which sounded like a woman's!
My scalp was numb with fear and my legs were trembling.
This woman is so fierce, Wang Xue actually took one look and was struck by her upper body? !
The second uncle spat in anger and cursed: "Fuck you, you damn thing! You dare to board my boat! Get out!"
He kicked the female corpse violently on the shoulder.
The female corpse was knocked upright by his kick, and fell into the water with a crash...
Our corpse boat tilted strangely to the right, as if it was about to capsize.
"It's a dead body. He wants to get on the boat and seek revenge on the person who found the body. Yin Yang, you go and punt the boat. Hurry!"
The second uncle's tone was anxious.
He immediately took out another slender bamboo pole from the cabin, with a hook on the tip!
That's a corpse-picking pole!
He directly plunged the bamboo pole into the water at an angle!
The tilted body-retrieving boat stabilized again.
I suppressed my fear, quickly reached the stern of the boat, pulled up the bamboo pole that supported the boat, and rowed out quickly!
The second uncle looked at the water surface warily, with his back arched, and from time to time, he suddenly plunged the corpse-carrying pole into the water!
I pushed the boat hard, but when the wind blew, my legs were shaking again!
I don't know if it's because I'm cold or scared...
The people in this place are not easy to deal with. Once they get involved, we have to avenge the people and find their enemies.
If we fail to do so, death will drag us into the water and drown us.
I suppressed my fear and punted the boat faster!
Fortunately, when we came in just now, we broke through the water weeds, and our corpse boat went out much faster...
In about a quarter of an hour, we finally managed to get out of the ditch and back to the main stream of the hanging river.
Only then did I realize that just now, it was so dark that even the moonlight had disappeared.
Only now did the cold moonlight fall on the boat.
The second uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead, dropped the corpse carrying pole, and cursed.
I glanced back with lingering fear, but the cold air was still running down my spine.
"It's okay, that ghost can't follow me." My second uncle said something again, which finally made my legs stop shaking so much, and I punted the boat back in the direction I came from.
The second uncle walked up to Wang Xue and slapped him with two big-eared melon seeds. Wang Xue was shocked and came to his senses.
He looked at his second uncle blankly, with a confused look on his face: "Mr. Liu, why did you hit me?"
The second uncle said coldly: "Boss, you're a man, you're going to be hit by the body when you see a female corpse. I'm going to wake you up! Fortunately, I didn't hit you too deeply, otherwise you wouldn't be able to wake up!"
Wang Xue was startled. He suddenly turned his head tremblingly and glanced at the river ditch.
"Female corpse...she didn't follow, did she?" Wang Xue asked in horror. He took out his glasses from somewhere and took them back.
"If she catches up, we will all be unlucky. It's a fatal blow. We can't let her follow! Your son's body was hugged by the dead body. It's very weird." The second uncle muttered again, and he glanced at the boy. corpse.
Wang Xue's face turned pale again, he lowered his head and quickly moved to the male corpse.
I always feel a little weird.
I feel that Wang Xue is very afraid of the female corpse just now, unlike my second uncle and I.
The purpose of redressing injustice is to take revenge. Generally, it will only harm the murderer and will not drag people into trouble for no reason...
But it’s impossible for Wang Xue’s son to kill her? !
Why is she holding Wang Xue's son? !
After thinking for a long time, I could only blame the two words my second uncle said, "weird."
It took more than an hour to punt before we returned to the dock.
I helped Wang Xue and carried the boy's body to the shore.
Before landing, the second uncle grabbed the chicken in the bamboo basket, cut its neck, and threw it directly into the river.
Chicken blood splattered on the river, and feathers flew...
This is also the rule for those who fish for corpses. After fishing for corpses, they offer sacrifices to the river god!
My father went ashore before and laid out three animals, which were more solemn than chickens, so there was no need for a rooster.
Although the night was deep, Huang Qi hadn't left yet. He hurried to us.
He was also shocked when he saw the child's corpse.
Wang Xue immediately called Huang Qi to fetch Zhang, the cart specially used to drag corpses on the pier.
Huang Qi first glanced at his second uncle tentatively. After his second uncle nodded, he hurriedly left.
Ordinary people couldn't take away the corpse at night, except for the witches who would find a way out, and someone would have to come here specifically to remove the corpse.
Otherwise, you will definitely hit a ghost!
Around the second watch, Huang Qi brought over an old man pulling a cart.
They carried the boy's body into the car.
Wang Xue behaved very strangely, looking at us from time to time, and from time to time looking up the Xuanhe River in the direction of the ditch...
It wasn't until the old man pulling the cart shouted that he could go that he hurriedly said goodbye to us and got off the dock.
I frowned, and my second uncle was also thoughtful.
"Second uncle...there is something wrong with this..." I couldn't help but say.
"It has nothing to do with us if there is a ghost. We will fish the corpse ashore and clear the money and goods." My second uncle told me not to worry about so much, and we would never go to that river in the future.
I kept silent...
Huang Qi didn't follow Wang Xue. He folded his hands again and ran to us with his neck scrunched up.
He asked us if we wanted to find a place to rest for a night first.
Huang Qi didn’t mention it, I haven’t felt it yet.
I just realized it now, and my brain is so sleepy that it hurts...
But the second uncle waved his hand and told Huang Qi to leave us alone. We would go back to Lijiacun when daybreak.
Then, the second uncle took out a big piece of money and threw it to Huang Qi.
Huang Qixi smiled broadly and thanked her again and again.
The second uncle waved impatiently, and then he hurriedly got off the dock.
But I was stunned. Second uncle is going back to the village now?
I asked my second uncle unnaturally, "Didn't Granny He ask us to go outside for a day or two?"
We have only been out for a day. If we go back, there won't be any problems, right?
The second uncle was silent for a moment before saying that he felt something was wrong.
Even though Wang Xue may have a problem, I seem to be attracting ghosts when I am outside.
Now that I have been hiding all night, I should be avoiding the dog that wants to die.
When he returned to Lijiacun at dawn, he wanted to rush to Gui Po He and ask him what was going on with me.
My second uncle’s words actually made me feel uneasy...
Am I still attracting ghosts? !
This time, I was no longer sleepy. I was standing on the shore, the cool breeze was blowing on my body, and I was shivering from the cold.
It was almost after the fifth watch, and there was a hint of fish belly white on the horizon. My second uncle urged me to get on the boat, and we punted back to the village.
However, when we arrived at the pier, my second uncle told me to go home by myself. He wanted to go directly to see Granny He.
My second uncle told me to be careful, not to go anywhere when I got home, and to wait quietly for him to come back.
He is afraid that something will happen to me...
