Chapter 128: Tianmei Village, The Legend of Hebo
After 3 months, Liang Yifu left school after school, and then looked for the 'Yue Ling Mirror', and took a free plane with Sun Xiaotong to visit Qin Ide in Jiangcheng whenever he was free. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Later, he couldn't bear it anymore and asked Chairman Jin to send him a task, and Chairman Jin also felt that it was time for Liang Yifu to put himself into work, so he assigned him a task, that is, to go to a textile factory in Jiangcheng City that had been abandoned for several years to investigate whether there were ghosts staying there, and Sun Xiaotong's task was to go to a hotel in the downtown area of Jiangcheng to investigate whether there were ghosts harassing tenants.
On August 21, Liang Yifu, Sun Xiaotong and Wang Zhiyu took a plane to Jiangcheng City to Jiangcheng, and in the past two months, they have used Saturdays and Sundays to fly back and forth between the two cities, almost all of them went to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangcheng Military Region to visit Qin Aide who was still sleeping on the hospital bed.
However, this time, Liang Yifu and the three of them came to the hospital and came to the independent nursing ward where Qin Ide was, but they didn't see Qin Ide lying on the hospital bed, which frightened Liang Yifu. Liang Yifu exclaimed: "Ouch, I'll go!" Junior brother... He died...". Liang Yifu's words stunned Wang Zhiyu and Sun Xiaotong, Wang Zhiyu took Liang Yifu's hand and said anxiously: "Eh, don't you talk nonsense, hurry up and ask the nurse where he went."
Sun Xiaotong ignored the two of them, and ran to the nurse to ask Qin Ed where he was. Sun Xiaotong walked out of the corridor quickly, came to the registration office near the elevator, and found a nurse girl who asked anxiously: "Do you know where Qin Ide is in room 1308?" āć
The nurse girl hurriedly comforted: "Are you talking about the patient who has slept for more than 3 months?" āć Sun Xiaotong nodded hurriedly, and the nurse frowned lightly and said, "He went out to run errands last night...".
As soon as the nurse's sister's words came out, Liang Yifu and Wang Zhiyu happened to come over, and just heard such a sentence that shocked the three of them, Liang Yifu walked over quickly and asked, "Are you kidding, why did my junior brother have an accident?" āć
The nurse girl was slightly stunned, turned her head to look at Liang Yifu and said: "Actually, he has nothing to do, the doctor has examined him, his health is very good, and he can go through the discharge procedures, but recently he has something to do, so he will stay in the hospital for the time being."
Sun Xiaotong patted the table and said very dissatisfied: "What does it mean that his body is very good?" Why didn't he call us when he was well? āć The nurse was taken aback by Sun Xiaotong and was at a loss. At this time, Dr. Yang, Qin Aide's attending doctor, happened to come back from his rounds, and when he passed by, he came over and said, "You calm down."
This Doctor Yang came, leading Sun Xiaotong, Liang Yifu and Wang Zhiyu back to the ward, Doctor Yang took out Qin Aide's case, and said at the same time: "Several of you are capable people from the 'Metaphysical Society', so I'll just talk about Comrade Qin Aide's situation, um... Well... Actually, he woke up on Monday, only 4 days ago, but he told us not to inform you for a while, he said he was going to do something, and then he would be from here every night...".
Dr. Yang walked to the window and continued, "Jump out of here...". When Liang Yifu and Sun Xiaotong heard this, they shouted in shock: "What? āć Dr. Yang coughed dryly and said: "It's impossible to jump out, he looked at the signal tower of the TV station over there from here, and told me and the nurse that there was something strange over there, and he always went out to investigate at night recently, but after going out last night, he hasn't come back yet, and I don't know if he has encountered something tricky."
Liang Yifu frowned slightly, dragging his chin with one hand and thinking about the question, Wang Zhiyu looked at Dr. Yang and asked, "Then did he say what he was going to do?" Did you just say go out and investigate? āć
After Dr. Yang put down the case, he looked at the three of them and said, "It seems that something strange happened in Tianmei Village over there, but I heard that there is a rumor about Hebo in Tianmei Village over there, and I don't know much about what the rumor is."
Liang Yifu lowered his head and said, "Senior brother just got up and ran to that place, let's go over and see what happened." After speaking, Liang Yifu took Wang Zhiyu's hand and walked out. Sun Xiaotong looked at Dr. Yang and asked, "Does the president know about this?" āć
Doctor Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I said, Comrade Qin Aide spoke to him on the phone when he just woke up." Sun Xiaotong took a deep breath, walked out of the ward, and came to the elevator to meet Liang Yifu and them.
Sun Xiaotong said to Liang Yifu: "You go over to find the 'coward' first, I will deal with the hotel first, the hotel manager was already urging me to go when I got off the plane just now."
Liang Yifu nodded and said, "Well, things in hotels are not difficult to deal with, I think the things that my junior brother encountered this time must be quite troublesome." Wang Zhiyu walked up to Sun Xiaotong, put her hand around her and said, "I'll go with you."
Liang Yifu turned his head to look at Wang Zhiyu and asked, "What?" Aren't you going with me to Tianmei Village? āć Wang Zhiyu shook her head and said, "I don't want to go to the countryside, and didn't you say that things over there are very troublesome, I think it will be safer to follow Xiaotong."
The three of them entered the elevator, because there were still others in the elevator, they did not continue the topic just now, and when they left the inpatient department of the hospital, when they walked on the road, Liang Yifu said: "Then you two be careful, you remember to protect my daughter-in-law."
Sun Xiaotong looked at Liang Yifu with disdain and said, "You two don't seem to be married yet, right?" Wang Zhiyu said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't really say I wanted to marry you."
Liang Yifu looked depressed, thinking if this could be a pleasant chat, Liang Yifu said: "Anyway, you be careful, do you know if you hide behind Sun Xiaotong when you encounter dangerous things?" āć Wang Zhiyu said with a smile: "I know, you should be careful yourself", and when she came to the gate of the hospital, Sun Xiaotong looked at Liang Yifu and said: "Take care of your junior brother, don't let him mess around again."
Liang Yifu nodded, and then after Liang Yifu and Sun Xiaotong separated, they blocked a taxi to go to Qin Aide's current location, Tianmei Village. Tianmei Village is a typical urban village, and there is a small stream in this village, but it has long since been turned into a sewage pipe, and some of the old brick houses are still preserved in the village.
There is a strange rule in this village, that is, taxis are not allowed to enter, and I don't know why, the master who lives here and drives a taxi can't drive the car in, so the taxi master takes Liang Yifu to the road near the village and leaves. Liang Yifu bought a bottle of mineral water from a nearby shop, and then walked towards this normal-looking Tianmei Village.
At 2:44 p.m., Liang Yifu took his mobile phone to the bakery, hair salon, restaurant, small supermarket, and electrical appliance shop in the village to ask the store owner if he had seen the person in the photo. It's a pity that Liang Yifu searched door to door for half an hour and didn't find Qin Aide, Liang Yifu walked on a slope, leaning on the cement retaining wall, smoking a cigarette and looking at the signal tower on the mountain, thinking to himself, junior brother, where are you going?
After smoking a cigarette, Liang Yifu continued to walk up the slope, and came to the slope, on the right hand side is another road down the mountain, which can lead directly to the road when it came, and the other side can go directly to the signal tower, Liang Yifu felt that there would be something wrong under the signal tower, so he walked over, and when he came to the signal tower that was only ten meters high, he found that there were several square pieces of paper on the ground.
Liang Yifu leaned down and picked up the piece of paper on the ground, and muttered to himself: "Senior brother has been here, but why did he use the 'Thunder Breaking Charm' here." Liang Yifu looked around, but still didn't find any clues, so he had to go back to the village and find a restaurant to eat.
When eating fried rice in the restaurant, Liang Yifu heard what the guys and the shopkeeper were talking about, as if they were saying something and someone was missing or something, Liang Yifu turned his head to look at the shopkeeper and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask you about something...".
The boss turned his head to look at Liang Yifu and said, "What's the matter?" By the way, haven't you found your brother yet? āć Liang Yifu sighed and said: "Yes, I don't know where I went, what, I heard that there is a legend of Hebo in this village, so what is it?" āć
When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled helplessly and said: "Alas, I have been here to open a shop for more than 4 years, this legend or something, I really don't know, you ask Xiao Zhou, he is a native of this village." Xiao Zhou is also the guy in the store, Xiao Zhou heard this, smiled, came to the table where Liang Yifu was, found a stool and sat down and said: "You really have to ask me about this, the legend of this Hebo is a long time ago."
Liang Yifu hurriedly pretended to be very curious and asked, "How long ago was it?" Before liberation? āć Xiao Zhou picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip of tea, he said: "This rumor still listens to what my grandfather and his old man said...".
Tianmei Village Hebo rumored that it happened more than 130 years ago, when it was the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, just a few years after the end of the Second Opium War, a strange thing happened in the village, when the creek in Tianmei Village was not what it is now, nor was it a creek like it was in the 90s of the 20th century, more than 100 years ago it was a river channel with a width of 5 meters and a depth of 8 meters, and I heard that there was a bridge on it at that time.
Liang Yifu looked at Xiao Zhou and asked anxiously, "Can we talk about the point?" āć Xiao Zhou lit a cigarette, and the shopkeeper also pulled a chair and sat down to listen to Xiao Zhou's story. Xiao Zhou said: "Don't worry, listen to me, it has something to do with that bridge."
The legend of this river has to start from the bridge, one summer, the river did not know why it suddenly soared, and the small bridge made of wood was destroyed, resulting in the villagers of Tianmei Village unable to come and go normally, because the village was built according to this river, so without this small bridge, the people's life is naturally very inconvenient.
Later, craftsmen were invited to rebuild the bridge, during this time the people wanted to cross the river, then they could only cross the river on a bamboo raft, but the strange thing is that I don't know why in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the people who had crossed the river on a bamboo raft, the boys and girls aged 15 to 20 years old disappeared inexplicably, and the family couldn't find it, and the village also sent people to the river to beat the prison to see if it was drowning, but did this drowning have a collective drowning? And it's still gone in the middle of the night.
After 4 years in the seventh lunar month, someone disappeared again, and the missing children were the same as 4 years ago, ten boys and ten girls, but they didn't take any bamboo rafts, because the new bridge had been built at that time, and this person almost needed to pass through this bridge every day, and naturally no one would find anything strange. But the same 20 children are missing, also in the seventh lunar month, which can't help but make the villagers panic, but I don't know what the panic is, this person is missing, the villagers went to the yamen to report the case, the government sent someone to investigate for nearly a month, and finally determined that it was an unsolved case.
Another 4 years have passed, and it is the seventh month of the lunar calendar, in fact, in these 4 years, as long as it is the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the name of the village does not allow children under the age of 21 to pass through the bridge on the river, not even passing by the river, so it persists for 4 years, and in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, a few newborn calves are not afraid of tigers Children secretly pass by the bridge, and they disappeared that night, which makes the people unable to calm down, and all the village names decided to run to the river at night, throw stones into the river, and curse the human trafficker 'Hebo' they imagined. After the villagers threw stones, the situation became even worse, this time as long as the child is eligible, do not need to cross the river, will disappear in the middle of the night, seeing that the children in the village have disappeared 18 people, the village chief took a few young and strong villagers in the village to guard the bridge for several nights, one night, they finally saw an amazing scene.
That night, when the ugly hour was approaching, the village chief and his group saw two children walking towards both sides of the river as if they were sleepwalking, and the village chief saw this, and hurriedly asked the villagers to go over and stop the two children, and the children were stopped, but something that made them even more terrifying happened, I don't know why the whole river was glowing, and then it began to become turbulent. The village chief and the rest of the villagers ran quickly to the shore, and just then, one of the villagers shouted that someone had come out of the river.
The village chief turned around and looked, only to see that in the glowing river, there was a white-haired old man floating out of the water, the guy village chief still knew, this person is the elderly village chief, his second uncle who has long passed away, his second uncle went up the mountain to be a Taoist priest when he was young, and later returned to his hometown, he asked his family to cremate his body before he died, so as not to become a 'zombie' after burial, the village chief thought to himself, how did the second uncle who died now emerge from the river, and with a weird smile.
I saw the white-haired and white-bearded old man beckoning to the children on the shore, the two children struggled desperately, escaped the control of the villagers, and ran towards the river, the strange thing is that these children actually walked on the water, followed the old man into the water, and disappeared without a trace.
When the village chief saw this scene, he fell into a coma on the spot. After the village chief fell into a coma, he dreamed of his second uncle, in the dream he asked the second uncle why he wanted to do something hurtful, his second uncle told him that when he was young, he went to the Yangtze River valley with his master to deal with a group of evil shrimp soldiers and crab generals, those shrimp soldiers and crabs were cleaned up by his master, and threatened to come back to take revenge, his second uncle said, I am afraid that these shrimp soldiers and crabs will be disguised into their own appearance to deceive the village chief, take away the soul of the children, and give them slaves.
The village chief woke up from the dream and, according to his second uncle's instructions, went to the mountain where his second uncle was a Taoist priest to find rescuers, but when he went to the mountain, he found that the Taoist temple was empty, and the Taoist temple had become a monk temple, which made him very depressed. In desperation, he had no choice but to return to the village, where the village chief informed the villagers of the truth, and then every four years, the villagers sent their children to a neighboring village to live for a month.
But in the past 4 years and 4 years, such a toss is not a solution, and the village chief can not resist the baptism of the years and died, after the new village chief took office, he thought of a way, that is, to dig a few wells near the village, and then fill in the river. Although the river was filled in and caused inconvenience to the villagers, it was better than such a toss.
The government also agreed to fill the river, but the government would not pay for it, and the villagers did not expect the government to help, and the villagers spent two years to change the river and fill in the river in the village, and the matter was over, because there was never a case of a child missing again.
Xiao Zhou said this, drank the tea, and said: "That's the way it is, I don't know if it's true, but there are occasional people in our village who disappear, but it's a little different from the rumors."
The shopkeeper said: "Alas, why is it different, wasn't there a network administrator who disappeared before, it should have happened 4 years ago, just now I didn't ask you if the disappearance of this person will have anything to do with the legend of your village."
Xiao Zhou shook his head and said: "Impossible, the network management is overage, according to the legend, the 'Hebo' grabbed small fresh meat, not old bacon." When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled and said, "Then you have to be careful, you are 19 years old this year, be careful that 'Hebo' arrests you."
Liang Yifu thought to himself, this rumor sounds strange, but it is very reasonable, but for Mao, he doesn't catch the child once a year, he has to make it like the Olympics, every 4 years; And will this shrimp soldier crab really exist? Could it be that they are all the Dragon King's subordinates?
Xiao Zhou looked at Liang Yifu and said, "What's the matter, I think this legend in our village is nonsense, it must be used to scare children." Liang Yifu looked at Xiao Zhou and asked, "Are those wells dug back then still there?" āć Xiao Zhou said: "It's all filled, and the remaining one has no water now, and it's still over the old house, do you want to go and take a look?" āć
Liang Yifu nodded, and Xiao Zhou said, "Okay, I'll take you over to take a look now." After speaking, he stood up and looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Uncle Guan, I'll come back when I go, you look at the store." Uncle Guan replied: "Delat, you go, you are the boss and listen to you." Xiao Zhou smiled and took Liang Yifu to see the well.
Liang Yifu walked on the road and said with a smile: "I thought that the guy in your store was just now, but it turned out that the uncle was the guy." Xiao Zhou said with a smile: "No, he is the chef and shareholder of this store, this store is opened by the two of us, and the entire building above the store belongs to my family."
When Liang Yifu heard it, he hurriedly said: "Ouch, I'll go, how can it be so coincidental, I'm also a landlord." Xiao Zhou looked at Liang Yifu with an unbelievable look on his face, Liang Yifu said with a smile: "I came from Pengcheng City, a local from the urban village over there, and later the reform and development government reclaimed land for development and construction, and the developer compensated me for two houses."
Xiao Zhou nodded and said, "That's good, alas... It's hard to do any development here, it's far away from the city center, and there is no commercial area nearby, there is a decent shopping plaza over there, and the rest are like you say, a small county town."
The two walked and chatted, and in less than three minutes, they walked around the old house and came to the rumored well, which was also covered with a sewer manhole cover for fear of the child falling.
After Xiao Zhou brought Liang Yifu here, he left, because it was almost 5 o'clock at this time, and he was going back to prepare for the night market.
The well was covered with moss, and the ground was marked with stones by children, saying who is a big fool, and then there was foul language, Liang Yifu squatted on the ground and wanted to open the manhole cover, because he always felt that his junior brother must have come here to investigate the matter of 'Hebo', but how did his junior brother know that in this village, after hundreds of years, this 'Hebo' he would still come to make trouble?
Liang Yifu squatted down, used internal qi, and moved the manhole cover, after removing the manhole cover, Liang Yifu used his mobile phone to illuminate, looked down the well, and saw that the well was very deep, and there seemed to be water below, and there was some garbage, at this time, Liang Yifu found that the edge of the wellhead was engraved with a few words, which were covered by moss, Liang Yifu buckled the moss with his fingernails, thinking that these words were foul language carved by children, but when he saw the words on it, he was stunned on the spot, and there was a line of words engraved on it: 'Senior brother, I was pushed into the well, He Bo threw me into a strange space, if you can see this message of mine, please bring some more talismans to save me, junior brother Qin Ideliu'.
