I struggled desperately for a long time, but I couldn't wake up, and I felt cold and cold, as if I had been soaked in water, and my whole body was wet.
In the end, I slept a miserable night.
I don't even know when I fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already bright and the room was filled with sunshine.
I didn't sleep well at all this night. I sat up and stared in front of me for a long time, my whole body in a daze.
And I was so palpitated that I muttered something about getting ashore...
My heart felt cold, and a chill started to run down my spine as I recalled the suffering last night.
Am I being haunted?
With another thrill, I quickly groped my body.
But now the clothes on my body are completely dry, with no sign of getting wet at all.
My heart was beating faster, but I was relieved.
It seems that I was too nervous and had a dream.
I rolled out of bed and was about to leave the room. My shoes were neatly placed beside the bed, with the toes facing inwards, facing the bed.
Suddenly, I remembered something my second uncle said to me.
Don't look back when walking at night, don't point the toes of your shoes toward the bed when sleeping, and don't accept money from unknown sources...
Anyone who violates any of these taboos will be haunted by ghosts!
My face suddenly turned pale. I kept in mind everything my second uncle said, especially this matter. Although it was small, the consequences were not small. Every night when I went to bed, I remembered clearly that the toe of the shoe must be facing out. !
Why is the toe of the shoe facing the bed?
Wasn't it a dream last night?
Did something really crawl into my bed?
Inexplicably, the fragmentary words from last night echoed in my ears. She said she had wronged me... She came ashore...
who is she?
Could it be the Miss Meng family in the Meng family pool?
I didn't dare to think about it any more. It was such a big deal that I didn't even dare to wear the shoes next to the bed. I jumped out of bed and ran out of the room barefoot.
In the yard, the second uncle was chatting with Cao Yonggui, the owner of Mipu.
Cao Yonggui was serious, while his second uncle took a sip of wine from time to time and nodded.
The two turned their heads almost at the same time.
Cao Yonggui greeted me with a kind smile and called me Mr. Li.
The second uncle frowned slightly and said, "What happened to Yin Yang? Are you making such a fuss so early in the morning?"
My body stiffened, and I was afraid of scaring Cao Yonggui.
Holding on to the discomfort, he tried his best to calm down his expression and said, "Second uncle, please come in."
The second uncle was thoughtful. He turned to look at Cao Yonggui and said, "Boss Cao, I have almost figured it out. You go and do your work and wait until dark. I will handle this matter easily."
Cao Yonggui's eyes were even more joyful, he nodded repeatedly, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
After Cao Yonggui walked out, my stiff body almost collapsed and I held on to the door frame.
The scar on the second uncle's face twitched twice, he took another sip of wine, frowned and said, "What's going on?"
As I was talking, my second uncle approached me, and I stepped aside to let him enter the house.
And I pursed my lips and pointed to the shoes next to the bed.
The second uncle only took one look and cursed "Cao".
He looked around the room in confusion and asked me what was going on. Why do you sleep with the toes of your shoes facing the bed? What else happened last night?
I explained to my second uncle in a low voice what I had dreamed last night.
The second uncle's face was extremely ugly, and the scar was slightly red. He raised his hand and touched his bald head several times.
I asked cautiously: "Is it Miss Meng?" The second uncle glared at me and muttered: "Death is a bad thing, but not as bad as this. There is no pond around you, although I lost it." Water corpse ghost oil, but she can’t climb that far even if she climbs out, this matter is troublesome..."
I wanted to ask something else, but suddenly I recalled my previous dream...
My mother stood on the edge of the hanging river and looked at me. Before Luo Yin Po was dragged into the water, she was floating on the water.
And when I was fishing out the bodies of the men in the village, I saw the female body on the boat...
Suddenly my whole body froze.
Could it be that she is my mother when she comes ashore?
The ghost woman didn’t say clearly whether I failed in Kanyang Pass or not, but it was because I had already passed that day...
But my mother comes to me like this again, what does she mean?
Still can't let me go, do you want to take me away? !
The second uncle's face changed from ugly to uncertain.
After a long pause, he said: "Don't panic about this matter. She didn't even bother you in the water. There should be something wrong. I'll ask the ghost woman later."
I nodded hard.
The second uncle then motioned for me to put on my shoes. My bare feet were on the ground. The atmosphere was quite heavy. We in this industry had to be careful not to wear shoes.
I was confused and asked my second uncle what it meant. At the same time, I tried my best to put aside the thoughts about my mother.
The second uncle shrugged and said, "Just follow the rules handed down from our ancestors."
After putting on my shoes, I followed my second uncle out of the room. Now being basked in the sunshine in the yard, I felt a little more comfortable.
Someone else entered the yard from the rice shop in front.
This person is not Cao Yonggui, but one of the rice shop guys last night.
He held a tray in his hand, filled with good wine and food.
The gloom on the second uncle's face dissipated a lot, and he took the tray with a smile. After saying hello, the waiter left in a hurry.
I followed my second uncle into the main room again, and while I was eating, my second uncle poured me another sip of wine. After I drank it, I felt a burning sensation in my stomach, which completely dispelled the chill.
There is a saying in the book: When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them. If I am so forward-looking and hesitant, what good can I do except fear and cowardice?
After finishing the meal, my second uncle briefly explained the situation to me.
It was obvious that he had understood everything this morning.
Cao Yonggui's wife drowned in Xuanhe about nine months ago. At that time, she was seven months pregnant with Liujia.
That day, Mipu's cargo ship was unloading, and Cao Yonggui couldn't do it alone, so he asked her to help settle the accounts at the dock.
As a result, another fishing boat docked, and the fishermen sold their catch at low prices, including a pair of red carps.
Cao Yonggui and his wife wanted to have a son, and red carps were considered auspicious things, so she bought them and wanted to release them for good luck.
As a result, I lost my footing at the water's edge and fell down. There were so many people on the pier that I didn't notice it immediately because of the commotion. When I realized what I was doing, there was only one embroidered shoe left on the water.
At that time, many fishermen went down to help fish for people, but they all found nothing.
The boatman with many experience in the water said that the water was so fast that he was afraid that he had been washed downstream. The hanging river was so big that it would be impossible to find him.
Cao Yonggui almost collapsed and hired people to search for three days in that section of the river basin, including the lower reaches, but no one was found.
When he had to give up, he heard someone say that he saw a pot-bellied woman struggling in the water in the middle of the night, who looked like his wife. Then he found my father and wanted to help retrieve the body.
My father agreed, but the matter has been delayed until today.
After the second uncle finished speaking, he muttered again, saying that my father was stubborn and would not do anything to make more money. He had to be thankless. If he had more money and paid more tribute to my mother, he might not be able to do anything like this later. .
I forced a smile, knowing that my second uncle was just a talker and didn't talk much with him on this matter.
After a slight pause, my second uncle told me that he was responsible for collecting the corpses at night.
The bodies of mother and child appear to be one, but in fact they are getting one and getting one free.
And there is one more thing to worry about, that is, the belly of the mother's corpse will burst before it even reaches the shore. If the vaginal fetus enters the water, the pregnant corpse will become a mother-child water demon without waiting for the ten-month pregnancy corpse to become a corpse!
In the past, a corpse collector encountered a mother and son. In the end, even the corpse rescue boat sank, and not even the bones of the corpse collector were found.
After hearing what he said, I felt a chill in my heart.
Well, I really don't dare to go into the water for my ability to fish out corpses. Now it's almost a practice. I can't afford to practice this kind of mother and child corpses. I can only wait for my second uncle to fish out the corpses, and then go all out to collect the corpses.
The second uncle patted me on the shoulder and said: "Don't be too stressed. I have the second uncle to collect the corpses. I just need to take care of the job. Once this job is done, we uncle and nephew will really make a lot of money." Son, you can ask your husband to get your old man down as soon as possible." I nodded solemnly.
He immediately stopped chatting with his second uncle, went back to the house, carried out the big black wooden box, and continued to read the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng.
After studying it carefully these past few days, I have actually memorized all the contents of the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng.
If I could watch someone connect their vagina, I should be able to learn it quickly, instead of having to figure it out on my own like now.
It was getting late, and towards evening, Cao Yonggui came to deliver food to us. It was obvious that he was very tired after a busy day.
The second uncle asked him to take a rest, but Cao Yonggui refused and just sat next to us.
Immediately, the second uncle said no more.
I can also see the reason. Cao Yonggui and He Shanshan didn't rush us, but we made a decision and he didn't want to delay it.
This matter was too important to him.
After dinner, before it got dark, my second uncle twisted his neck and stretched his muscles, indicating that we could go to the dock.
Suddenly, Cao Yonggui's energy became full again, and he was nervous and a little embarrassed.
After leaving the rice shop, he called two rickshaws and we headed towards the pier.
It took about half an hour. When we arrived at the pier, it was just getting dark.
The second uncle stroked his bald head and walked towards where the corpse boat was parked.
At this moment, there were actually some people standing on the pier, whispering to each other.
When we came over, they looked at us with a bit of discomfort in their eyes.
The second uncle squeezed through the crowd, and Cao Yonggui and I naturally followed closely behind.
The second uncle's body froze, and he stared directly at the bottom of the pier with a gloomy expression on his face.
My expression also changed.
Because the corpse boat... actually sank in half...
The lower half of the perfectly good boat sank, and the bow section was tied with ropes and fixed to the pier. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see the boat and it would have to sink and hang in the river.
The most taboo thing for those who live on the water is to dig into the boat!
These days, there is only one job to make a living. To destroy someone's job is to make people live in old age and live in poverty without food or drink. This is a deadly hatred!
