Chapter 2 The River That Wants to Eat the Living
The village is remote and is still buried. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Since ancient times, there have been thick burial schools and thin burial schools, we can understand it literally, but thick burials are divided into three, six, nine and so on even in modern times, and the helpless widows in this village, even if they are thick burials, are nothing more than thick coffins, and the clothes they wear when they leave are all purchased.
If it was placed in the past, this matter would have been handled by the third master, and the third master would have a flamboyant tongue, but the affairs of the dead would have been guaranteed to be done profitably. It's a pity that the third master kicked his legs a few days ago to see the king of Hades, leaving a hairy boy Wu Ming, and no one believed him.
Originally, everyone thought that the golden widow's big belly was watered, but after a closer look, they knew that the golden widow was pregnant.
The golden widow has been widowed for three or four years, how can she get pregnant? Everyone died, and the kind villagers fed the money according to the instructions of the head of the township.
The common people know that when a person dies and goes to the underworld, he has to cross a river Styx, and this money is for the ferryman. There are one-dollar coins and silver buttons.
After the coins were placed, the coffin was put into the burial, and the golden widow was sent on the road.
It was Zhou Xing who drove the hearse, this Zhou Xing is not from this village, he is the contractor who has contracted the rural reconstruction project from other places, and this time the head of the township is using the car from the Zhou Xing construction site.
Zhou Xing's heart is dark, originally some renovations were paid for by the government, but this money is not given casually, such as fences, each family has a standard, how many meters, a few turns, how many pillars, a few pits. When Zhou Xing measured it, he lowered this standard, so that every family had to pay money, but the money was not much, and the kind-hearted villagers didn't know that they had been deceived by Zhou Xing, and scolded the government for being small. All this money went into Zhou Xing's personal pocket.
This time, because he was appointed by the head of the township, Zhou Xing didn't get any benefits, and he had to pull people to death. He felt uncomfortable and felt at a loss. After going into the house and going around, I wanted to buy a few valuable things at the Golden Widow's house. But there is nothing of value in the house of the golden widow.
"What a poor ghost!"
The coffins outside were all in the car, Zhou Xing walked out, saw a coin on the ground, picked it up, and muttered: "It's not in vain!" ”
The golden widow pulled down the grave and buried it, and everyone thought it was all right. Even Wu Ming didn't think deeply, he thought that the golden widow was drowned, so he stole a chicken at night and carried it to the river.
Qin Xue was staying in a small hotel, and along the window, she saw Wu Ming sneakily carrying a chicken, so she changed into a neat suit, brought chili water and a stun gun, and quietly followed.
Wu Ming came to the river, drew a circle, took out a lighter and burned some paper money, and then muttered: "Sister Jin, no matter what happens, you are dead, eat a chicken, hurry up and go to reincarnation, don't think about revenge, this revenge delays the time to go over there, and the next generation will not be able to be a person." ”
After finishing speaking, Wu Ming put a chicken still in the river, this chicken can't swim, but after a whirlpool in the water, it was washed to the shore, fluttering and shaking the water, and ran away.
"Hey!"
Qin Xue watched from behind for a long time and couldn't help but scream. Wu Ming was startled, his neck twisted stiffly, and when he saw that it was Qin Xue, he sighed vigorously.
"What are you doing standing behind me in the middle of the night, I was almost scared to death by you."
"Look at your appearance, the gods are chattering, and you are still afraid of ghosts, have you done something wrong? By the way, that chicken was stolen, right? ”
"Your little girl's family is quite wide, I am sacrificing to the river god, grandpa said that people who die in the water will be pulled down to be reincarnated."
Qin Xue was really bold, she was not afraid at all, and said with a smile, I took pictures just now and shared the circle of friends, is this your folk customs?
Wu Ming couldn't help but glance at Qin Xue, thinking that this beautiful woman was too capable. As the saying goes, if you don't do it, you won't die...... However, Wu Ming didn't have the heart to tease Qin Xue, the chicken came up safe and sound just now because there was something to protect it, which means that this river doesn't want to eat chickens, but wants to eat live people.
……
Qin Xue is particularly interested in folk customs, all the way back, he asked east and west, and asked Wu Ming's phone number, Wu Ming is also a young man, to be honest, he likes Qin Xue's liveliness very much. He had also seen a few girls in the city, and when they saw his dirtyness, they stayed away from him.
However, Wu Ming didn't want to involve Qin Xue in this matter, on the bus, a carload of people was not stoned to death, so the matter is not over? As the saying goes, if the king of Hades wants you to die on the third watch, he will not leave you until the fifth watch, and he will pick people out of the cracks in the fingers of the king of Hades, then there must be a way. Therefore, no matter what Qin Xue asked, Wu Ming promised to let Qin Xue leave the river first, so as not to slip his foot into the river, and sometimes, even if you are a strong swimmer, you have to drown.
Qin Xue couldn't sleep when she returned to the small inn, because Wu Ming said that there were still dead people in the village these days. This statement is a bit alarmist, Qin Xue fights in her heart, on the one hand, she thinks that Wu Ming is talking nonsense and bragging, on the other hand, from the analysis of the things encountered on the bus, maybe Wu Ming really knows.
After the collapse, Ruth had to clean up for a few days, and Qin Xue couldn't walk, so she talked to her parents on the phone, and then walked around the village. I saw Wu Ming standing at the intersection with a canvas bag on his back and chatting with others, so he leaned over to listen. As soon as the villager saw Qin Xue, he immediately shut up and turned to leave.
Wu Ming turned around and saw that it was Qin Xue, and said impatiently, "Why are you making trouble again?" ”
"What did he say to you?"
Qin Xue said with a smile, this face is so beautiful, Wu Ming couldn't bear to refuse, so he sighed and said: "Brother Lai said, this golden widow was pregnant with a child when she died, this golden widow is beautiful, many people in the village are worried about it, the young man doesn't care that she has been married and a man has died." However, the golden widow never married, because the golden widow was the lover of the head of the township. ”
"The governor of the township's lover? Hehe, this is really messy enough, the subject matter can be written as a rural urban novel. ”
Hearing Qin Xue's cold joke, Wu Ming couldn't laugh at all. He sighed and said, "This matter has long been spread in the village, but when grandpa was alive, he said that Sister Jin was not that kind of person. Sister Jin raised two cows by herself, her income was low, and she didn't even have a decent electrical appliance at home, if she was the lover of the head of the township, why was she so poor that she couldn't even dress up. ”
"What are you going to do now?"
"I don't know, if Sister Jin hadn't been buried and sealed, maybe she would have been able to tell me."
"What? Can you still hear the dead? ”
"The only one who can hear the dead man talking is the dead man......" Wu Ming wanted to explain to Qin Xue, but suddenly there seemed to be a quarrel over there, Wu Ming took a look, and it turned out that it was the head of the township and her daughter-in-law who quarreled.
