The fine raindrops on the water surface stirred up countless ripples, and in the dark night, it looked like a cold black sea of flowers.
The male corpse exuded a sense of desolation and gloom, and it seemed to be staring at us coldly.
I stared at his face, my hands clenched into fists.
"Mr. Miao..." I whispered in a hoarse voice.
As Mr. Miao's body got closer and closer to the bow of the boat, He Zhi couldn't help but cover his mouth, his wide-open eyes showing extreme fear!
My heart trembled again, because Mr. Miao's body suddenly sank a little, and his entire body was submerged by the water.
This feeling is the same as the shadow feeling beside the boat when we set off before.
I had a guess at that time, and now it seems that Mr. Miao is indeed approaching our boat!
It’s just that I always thought it was my mother who was blocking those corpses.
Is it actually Mr. Miao who became a living corpse? !
Then my mother...she hasn't appeared since I came back?
This is so abnormal. When I was in danger before, my mother would always be by my side.
Is it because so much corpse blood was released from her last time that she has not recovered yet? !
At the same time, another guess arose in my mind.
As soon as I thought about it, my eyes turned red, and intense fear and worry almost swallowed me up.
Wu Xianchang had so many plans, but suddenly left Lijiacun...
Could it be that... he took advantage of my mother's weakness and succeeded? !
After this idea appeared, craziness began to breed.
During this period, the paper figures Xu and Xu Changlin both arrived at the bow.
They also looked down at the water. Paperman Xu frowned and murmured: "It's really Mr. Miao, Yin Yang, have you figured out how to get him up?"
I was silent for a long time, nodded, and then shook my head.
Paperman Xu patted my shoulder and told me to express my condolences and accept the change. Mr. Miao’s matter has been settled. Besides, we have also taken care of Mr. Miao’s family affairs. There is no need to wonder now. The facts must Have to accept it.
I shook my head again and then told Xu, the paper man, that it wasn't because I couldn't figure out what happened to Mr. Miao.
However, I dare not tell here what happened that night in Hejiacun.
Paperman Xu probably knew part of it, but He Pheasant and Liu Tianniu were completely kept in the dark.
If I tell them now that I let the old watchman go, I'm afraid He Zhi won't be able to accept it.
As for Liu Tianniu, although he wants me to be the first hexagram, I don’t want to create a gap between the two of them now.
So I was silent for a long time and then whispered: "My mother should be in the water. I always thought she was the one who stopped the corpses. But it turned out that it was Mr. Miao and my mother didn't show up at all. This is a big problem." ." As soon as I finished speaking, Paperman Xu's expression also changed.
Liu Tianniu's eyes fell on me at the other end. After looking at me for a moment, he suddenly said: "The yin that has become heavier in the hanging river is not the body of Mr. Miao you just saw, nor is it in Lijiacun. Yin energy is growing throughout the Xuanhe River, and it comes from upstream."
Liu Tianniu's explanation gave me a little chance to breathe.
I still feel that this yin energy must be my mother's.
Could it be that she went upriver?
I was extremely anxious, fearing that she had fallen into Wu Xianchang's hands.
"Is the county where Wu Xianchang is located upstream?" I immediately asked the paper man Xu again.
The paper man Xu shook his head and said: "Lu County is not next to the Xuanhe River." He pondered for a moment before saying: "Yin Yang, don't worry too much. It will not be easy for Wu Xianchang to capture your mother. He has been plotting against you for so long just because he wants to succeed through you, maybe your mother is on the upper reaches."
I can no longer explain that my mother has become weak, and for the time being I can only hope that she will go upriver.
"I have to go upstream to take a look, and then go to Lu County to settle the score with Wu Xianchang." I said in a hoarse voice.
At this moment, He Zhi suddenly said in a low voice: "One of the methods of the ghost woman is called the transformation of the dead, which is similar to what ordinary people call spiritualism. You can calculate the time accurately and arrange the mourning hall to summon the dead. I'm not good enough to bring people's souls back. If grandpa is still here, I can call the souls here even if I use this technique in the city of Jiuhe County."
"Let's go upstream at night and take a look? If the distance is close enough, I can also use the Way of the Dead."
He Zhi is smart enough. It is obvious that she has understood my worries from the few words we just said.
After saying this, He Fei reached out and held my wrist tightly, giving me a reassuring look.
I took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
His eyes then looked at the shadow under the water in front of the bow.
As we sailed the boat, Mr. Miao was always underwater at the front.
Although its yin energy was strong, it did not cause trouble, and even helped us just now.
I have a vague guess that the living corpse formed by Mr. Miao should be under his control and did not turn into a vicious corpse.
At the same time, I also had a plan in my heart. When I get to the place later, I have to fish it out.
But when I thought about it like this, time flew by so fast. Before I knew it, a streak of white fish belly appeared on the horizon in the distance. A cockcrow broke the dawn, and it was already dawn.
As the night dissipated, the gloomy air from Xuanhe had completely dissipated.
The shadow in front of the bow also disappeared.
As daybreak came, Mr. Miao had sunk underwater.
If you want to salvage it, you have to wait until dark before you have a chance.
At this moment, many fishing boats can be seen on the surrounding water, all of which are fishermen who rush to the water to make a living.
By the time we returned to the dock in Jiuhe County, the sun was rising, and the warm sunshine had dispelled the cold night.
It was not until this moment that Lao Lu, who had been so stupid all the time, suddenly threw himself on the bodies of his wife and brother and burst into tears.
The sad and sorrowful cries echoed on the pier.
There were many fishermen and boatmen on the pier. Many people gathered around and looked at our boat.
Some people were even talking in low voices, roughly talking about my identity and the fact that Lao Lu's wife and brother disappeared a few days ago.
Huang Qi went over and pushed Lao Lu and told him to stop crying. People can't be resurrected after death, and they can't live a normal life?
Lao Lu really stopped crying. He looked at the dead female body wrapped in white cloth on the other side and ran over without saying a word.
When he got close to the female corpse, Lao Lu reached out and stuffed his hair into the white cloth, and in a few seconds he pulled out two gold bracelets and a gold ring.
He stuffed those things into his pockets and looked at us nervously and fearfully.
I frowned slightly. There must be some hidden dangers in taking things belonging to a dead person...
But at this time, Liu Tianniu said: "You can take away all the gold and silver on her body. After all, your wife and brother died in his hands. The paper man will probably want her body skin, and then she will It won’t cause trouble, just think of this little gold and silver as her way of making up for the number of refugees in your family.”
Lao Lu was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips again and came to the body.
This time, he carefully touched the gold and silver jewelry.
As he touched it, he shed tears, and he looked particularly embarrassed.
