Liu Wensan and Director Zhou also chased after him.
"Sixteen, what's wrong with you? You came here suddenly?" Liu Wensan asked.
I frowned and shook my head: "Maybe I was dazzled, I just saw Tang Xiaotian jump down!"
Liu Wensan was also stunned for a moment. He pondered for a moment: "It shouldn't be possible. How can a person like Tang Xiaotian have any desire to die?"
Director Zhou wiped his eyes, which were swollen like fish bubbles. He asked, "Who is Tang Xiaotian?"
I shook my head and said, "Nothing."
Regarding the Gu family's affairs, I don't want to mention it to others to avoid spreading rumors.
Liu Wensan patted me on the shoulder and said, "Go back and have something to eat. All you have to do in the evening is physical work. If you don't eat enough, you won't be able to do it then."
I nodded, but Director Zhou suddenly pointed to the middle of the river and said, "That's the boat of the corpse recovery team, and they are still searching for people."
I looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough I saw two ships traveling side by side. I could vaguely see them dragging a net with a large hole! The holes in this kind of net are too big and can only catch people but not fish.
My heart was racing.
With such a large formation, most of what they fished was Gu Kaishan. It had been several hours since noon and he still hadn't been fished out... The river was so fast that he might have been washed away somewhere.
Back in front of the food stall, I ate a lot of meat randomly to build up my strength.
When it got dark in the evening, Blind Man Chen finally came wandering around.
Liu Wensan ordered him a bowl of roasted elbow and ate it before we approached the dock.
Blind Chen’s flat-bed tricycle was placed on the pier, and then I discovered that he had a few things on his car.
A piece of pitch-black leather hangs on the faucet, and the flesh still smells of blood. There are many flies and mosquitoes trying to pounce on it. The wheel axle is stained with chicken feathers and chicken blood. The pitch-black wooden board There is a white cloth spread on it.
Blind Chen squatted beside the tricycle and smoked leaf cigarettes. His mouth was shiny, and he finally felt a little more alive.
I'm actually very confused. His name is Chen Xiazi and he looks blind. How did he come to the edge of Yangjiang River?
Of course, it’s not easy for me to ask.
"Liu Wensan, don't go in this time. If you really can't save your life, you have to send Luo Shiliu up." Blind Chen clicked his lips and took a long drag on his cigarette.
These words made me dumbfounded.
Liu Wensan's face darkened: "Why did you curse me to death? When I was just eating my elbow, it was the money I gave you!"
"If I'm going to fail, Sixteen won't be able to do it alone!"
Liu Wensan waved his hand and walked towards the body-retrieving boat at the pier.
Director Zhou nodded and bowed to Blind Chen, and then followed Liu Wensan.
I was about to leave, but blind man Chen suddenly stopped me and said, "Luo Shiliu, let me give you a few words."
I suddenly stopped and bowed to Blind Chen seriously and humbly.
"When it gets dark, no matter whether it's water or land, it's a dead end." Blind Chen said in a hoarse voice.
"No ghost will come to you out of nowhere. Everything is foreshadowed. If you hear someone asking you a question from behind, don't look back or answer."
"Even if you think about it in your heart, you can't think about it." Blind Chen took a puff of his cigarette and said, "This is the first advice."
I tried my best to write down everything he said, and then said: "Uncle Chen, please continue."
I definitely can't call him Blind Chen. After thinking about it, Uncle Chen is a more appropriate title.
Blind Chen continued: "Don't pick up things floating on the river. Even if you see a box of money floating on the river, you can't move it. It seems like an ownerless thing. Who might have lost it or taken something they shouldn't have taken? You have to pay the price.”
"This is the second reminder."
I nodded vigorously and wrote it down.
Blind Chen was silent for a moment, and then said: "The dead man asked to look around and buy his life and money to block the way. If you are really in danger of death, just shout for help."
His previous instructions were all fine, and they sounded mysterious to me, but this last sentence made me confused.
"Uncle Chen... is in mortal danger. If he calls for help... isn't he just waiting to die?" I said with a wry smile.
Blind Chen smiled: "Others who call for help may be waiting to die, but if you call for help, there may be a chance of improvement."
"Sixteen! It's dark! Get on the boat!" Liu Wensan's voice called me.
I thanked Blind Chen, turned around and ran towards the edge of the pier.
Liu Wensan has already driven the corpse boat to the front of the dock!
After getting on the boat, I subconsciously looked back at Blind Man Chen.
It was completely dark now, the lights on the pier were dim, and the cigarette that Blind Man Chen held in his mouth glowed with a little scarlet fire.
Not far behind Blind Chen, there was a woman standing on the steps on the pier, looking at us.
Her face is frighteningly white and her hair is very long! It was already so dark. Logically speaking, I should not be able to see clearly, but on the contrary, I could see clearly...
This person... really doesn't look like a person...
The next moment I felt a thrill in my heart. Why did she feel so familiar?
A chill instantly ran down my spine, my scalp was numb, and I had goosebumps all over my body!
That doesn't look familiar at all, it's clearly my mother!
Although I have gone home less frequently over the years since I was studying, my mother’s photo was hung in the main room every day when I was a child!
I have never met her, but I have seen her photos since childhood!
"Mom..." I shivered, but I still felt a chill.
However, the next moment she disappeared...
"What's wrong with you, Po Luo Yin? You're acting weird." Director Zhou gestured with his palms in front of me and waved twice.
"No...it's okay." I came back to my senses and forced a smile.
Liu Wensan had already sailed the boat, and the roaring sound of the engine was heard, dispelling the chill in my heart.
At this moment, the boat of the corpse recovery team on the river is still far away, and the lights are flickering.
Director Zhou showed the way to Liu Wensan, and our boat headed towards the center of the river.
When they were almost out of Kaiyang City, Director Zhou waved his hand: "No need to drive, it's right here!"
At this moment, his face was frighteningly white, and he was looking at the river with his head bowed, his eyes still a bit sad and lifeless.
The river was calm and not as windy as it was in the afternoon.
There is only a trace of the crescent moon left in the moon tonight, but there are many stars in the sky, which are reflected in the river, which is really beautiful.
"Sixteen, take this."
Liu Wensan stopped the boat and handed me a rusty bell.
The bell is copper yellow, and the rust on it is not very deep. I also saw two familiar grooves.
"Uncle Wen, you still have an identical bell? Why is this one rusty?" I said subconsciously.
"Your Uncle Wen doesn't have many of these Zhenyin bells. I picked up that one from the willow reed swamp." "The rust is caused by water leaching out of the copper bell. It cannot be removed. There is a talisman on it. , just scratch it and it’s gone.” Liu Wensan put on the shirt he wore last time with a knife in his mouth.
Suddenly, I thought of the relief on the Gu jade.
I quickly took out the Gu Jade from my pocket and handed it to Liu Wensan: "Uncle Wensan, this thing is for your protection, you must bring it with you."
Liu Wensan rolled his eyes and said: "This is a meeting gift for you. There is no reason to take it back. Pretend it well."
"It's just two corpses. Your Uncle Wen is not afraid."
"Keep an eye on the bell. Just don't fall into the water. Just shake it a few times to see if something happens to me! In Yangjiang, it's not easy to catch the bell if it falls." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Wensan jumped into the water.
The calm water suddenly became rippled, and Liu Wensan was no longer visible...
At this moment, I suddenly discovered that Director Zhou was leaning sideways, with half of his body leaning out of the boat!
"Director Zhou! Be careful!" I shouted quickly and rushed over to take a look.
Director Zhou held a bamboo pole in his chubby hand with a hook on it. This was a tool on the boat.
His face was anxious, and he actually hooked a shoe on the river!
It was a pink sneaker that was swollen with water.
They were about the size of a palm, and were clearly shoes worn by a little girl.
My heart skipped a beat, and I grabbed his hand and said sternly: "Don't fish! Don't dare to fish for things in the water!" With a crash, the shoe fell off the hook!
Director Zhou stared at me with wide eyes, his eyeballs were so bloodshot that they almost bulged out!
The hairs on my body all stood up. This week, the factory director’s eyes were so scary!
"Don't block me! Those are cute shoes!" Director Zhou's voice was hoarse, and his tone was somewhat harsh.
As if if I block him, he will kill me!
