No less than ten corpses were fished out by the villagers, and there were still many corpses floating further away from the river bed that had not been fished out in time.
Faces that were as swollen as steamed buns kept popping up under the water, with their white eyes staring at everyone on the shore.
These corpses were highly decomposed, and their eyes were full of numbness and hollowness. The white rotten flesh was constantly floating and sinking under the wash of the water. I don’t know if it was due to psychological factors, but I actually felt that the eyes of the rotten corpses were turning slightly, showing an interesting expression. Heart-stopping malice.
"Mom!"
Not only me, but also the villagers who stayed on the shore were so frightened that many villagers who were following Mr. Qin screamed in fright and ran away.
Father Qin also wanted to leave the river, but his legs and feet were inconvenient and he couldn't walk anymore. He was so frightened that he threw away his crutches and collapsed on the ground.
Huizhen and I remained motionless, staring at the corpse washed down by the river bed. After a few seconds of silence, Huizhen suddenly tugged on my sleeve and said in a strange tone,
"Zhou Xuan, these corpses should have been washed down from the ditch behind the mountain."
I hummed and nodded with difficulty.
The river at the entrance of the village is also connected to the back mountain. It seems that it should have been washed out by a certain direct current. But I can't figure out why there are so many corpses in this remote mountain ravine?
The villagers had almost dispersed. Huizhen and I bravely approached a dead body by the river. We endured the strong smell of corpses coming from the river bed. Huizhen found a wooden stick and placed it on a swollen corpse that had been soaked in water. After rummaging around and picking things up, his face became even stranger.
"Looking at the clothes of these corpses, they should all be modern people. They have been soaked in the water for more than a month!"
I was so surprised that I suppressed my fear and turned back, "The back mountain is just a wasteland. Where do so many people come from?"
"Perhaps, they are also here for the secrets in Yamawanggou."
Huizhen's face was ashen and he said, "My master said that there is a great secret in the back mountain of Yamagou. Besides himself, there should be other people who know this secret. It seems that someone got there first and entered Yamagou first." But I don’t know what they experienced on the way, and they all turned into corpses and were washed down by the river.”
"W-what..."
I stopped talking, and even my breathing was trembling. Looking at the clothes on these corpses, I felt that what Huizhen said should be right.
Most of the corpses here were wearing the same style of clothes, very old-fashioned, and they were from the same organization or force at a glance.
What secrets are hidden in the back mountains of Yanwanggou, and why are so many people rushing to join in the fun?
Huizhen had a straight face and her voice was also trembling, "I don't know what secrets there are in Yamawanggou. I only know that it must be a place that eats people. My master is in such a hurry to enter the mountain that he must have noticed something..."
At this time, Father Qin had already come tremblingly, looking at the corpse floating on the river bed with a livid face, and said nervously,
"This...what is going on? Widow Chen's matter has not been completely settled yet, and there are so many rotting corpses in the village. How can I, the village chief, solve it?"
He showed a frightened expression, turned around and shouted to go to the town to call the police. Unexpectedly, Huizhen actually blocked Father Qin first and shook his head with an ugly expression.
"Old man, you can't call the police."
"Why?"
Father Qin swallowed and looked surprised.
Huizhen turned blue and pointed to the river bed to persuade, "The police can't handle the things here. Zhou Xuan and I looked at it this morning. There is a lot of death lingering in your village. It's not just Widow Chen." .”
I said yes with a grimace. I originally thought it was just a revenge of a grudge, but who would have thought that it would involve so many evil things after searching again and again.
"The trouble in your village is not as big as usual. Now you can no longer take care of the corpse. I suggest you quickly notify the villagers to evacuate. If you move outside early, you may be able to avoid disaster."
After hearing what I said, Father Qin trembled with fright again, "Brother Zhou, what do you mean?"
I looked ugly and said nothing, while Huizhen clasped his hands together and said bluntly, "Old man, I won't hide it from you. The atmosphere of death in the village is too strong, and there are so many rotting corpses, and the wind direction is all along the village. Damn it, when the death energy reaches a certain level, it will completely pollute the feng shui of your village. I'm afraid..."
Father Qin looked nervous, "What will happen?"
Huizhen looked at me, shook her head and said nothing, but her expression spoke for itself.
If this matter is allowed to ferment, the consequences will definitely become serious.
The most important thing now is to quickly persuade the villagers to move, but how easy is it to persuade the villagers to move? Not to mention the villagers outside, even Father Qin is having a hard time.
He shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, the people in the village have lived in Yamawanggou for generations and have feelings. All our ancestral tombs and temples are built here. It is impossible for anyone to move away just because of these corpses."
I sighed and said, "We could be in big trouble if we don't move."
Father Qin still shook his head and refused to agree to our suggestion. He just kept urging Huizhen and I to think of other solutions.
Huizhen frowned and said, "Let's do this. Let the villagers pick up all the corpses they can, use lychee trees as firewood, and burn them before dark. They must not be allowed to stay in the village overnight!"
Floating corpses on the riverbed, especially those facing up, represent a very ominous omen.
We don’t yet know what trouble their appearance will bring to the village, but my intuition tells me that the bodies must be disposed of as soon as possible, and I can’t wait for the police to come and investigate.
"Hey, okay, I'll do it right away!"
Father Qin couldn't make up his mind, so he could only follow the suggestions we made.
After sending Father Qin away, Huizhen also looked at me seriously, "Zhou Xuan, come with me to the town tomorrow morning. Buy more yellow talisman paper money and come back. It's best to find a place upstream on the riverbed to organize a party." Let’s see if we can get rid of the resentment caused by these floating corpses.”
I didn't object and nodded eagerly.
The strange thick fog outside the village, the corpse of Widow Chen, and the sudden corpses floating on the river bed are all signs that something big is going on in this village.
Huizhen and I have limited abilities, and there is only so much we can do.
In the evening, Mr. Qin reunited a group of brave villagers, salvaged all the floating corpses ashore, covered the entire river beach with lychee trees, poured kerosene on them, and set them on fire.
Huizhen sat cross-legged in front of these corpses and recited Buddhist salvation scriptures with a compassionate look on her face.
I don’t know whether these salvation scriptures have any effect. I stood upwind of the river bed and took a Feng Shui compass to measure. I felt that the Feng Shui magnetic field of Yamawanggou became more and more chaotic, and the strong death energy concentrated in the upper reaches of the river bed. , sloping down like a flood, tending to completely cover the entire village.
No one had a peaceful night. Hui Zhen and I squatted in the yard in fear, discussing in low voices how to deal with the aftermath. Qin Ni was still in the dark. Seeing that we had not fallen asleep in the middle of the night, she rubbed her eyes and came over and asked,
"Brother Zhou Xuan, and Brother Fat, why aren't you sleeping?"
I smiled bitterly, shook my head and said, "Sister, it's not a good time for you to go home to visit relatives, why don't you come back to town with us tomorrow."
