Chapter 31: The Joker
readx;
A trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, the body to the side of Yuguan, a thousand tent lights in the middle of the night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The wind is changing, the snow is changing, the dream of the broken hometown is not true, and there is no sound in the old garden.
Nalan Xingde's poem is not imperfectly written, when Uncle Nalan was exiled from a prosperous place to the north, it was the most severe punishment in the Manchu Qing Dynasty except for killing his head and squatting in prison, and he was sent to the northeast.
At that time, there were only a few aborigines in the Northeast, known as the bitter cold land of the Far North, due to the limited living conditions at that time, many people could not survive the harsh winter, and the people who were exiled here could not return to their hometowns, so they had to open up the wasteland and farm to make a living, but the Northeast climate was harsh, although the plains were vast, there were many droughts and floods in summer and autumn, and although they paid a lot of hard work in the bad years, they could not recover a grain of grain from the black soil, they could only endure hunger, so most of the northeast countryside of the old society was superstitious, In the field to build a lot of delicate or crude temples, which enshrine the folk spread of all kinds of immortals, what Huang Er Grandma, the Dragon King, the Stove King God, Guan Er Ye and so on countless, just ask for the wind and rain, to be able to eat and live.
This phenomenon has been greatly improved during the Cultural Revolution, when the fierce red soldiers smashed these feudal poisonous weeds clean, leaving only dilapidated houses still standing, accepting the baptism of history.
Led by four police officers, the sturdy male villagers who had been temporarily recruited formed four temporary search teams to search the past in four directions, paying special attention to the secluded woods and abandoned houses and temples along the way, hoping to achieve something.
Ling Yang followed the team of 12 people to the north, only to find out less than five miles of road distance to the end, according to the fellow villagers said that not far in front is the overgrown Songhua River, because the nearby are cultivated land, there is no way to get approved sand quarry or fishing section, so no one crosses the river from here at all, a few years ago the city government built a playground on Liushu Island in the center of the river, originally wanted to build a road through the village, build a wharf on the riverside to ferry tourists, However, due to the collective opposition of the villagers, the wharf had to be moved to the vicinity of the barren meadow thirty miles to the west, and then the amusement park closed down because it was too remote and poorly managed, and I heard that only an old man was hired to work on the watch, so as not to steal the iron facilities in the amusement park, and then I heard that the amusement park was haunted, and the old man also rolled up and left in order to save his life, so that even thieves did not dare to go there.
Ling Yang frowned, and suddenly remembered that when he was competing with the suspect in the morning on "My Neighbor Totoro" to see who was more obscene, the suspect seemed to be wearing a T-shirt printed with beautiful patterns. Because the suspect was middle-aged, but he was wearing such a colorful dress, Ling Yang couldn't help but take a few more looks, and vaguely remembered that the front of the T-shirt was printed with a huge poker clown head, and the side was scattered with Ferris wheels, roller coasters, circuses and other patterns, thinking of this, a realized thought flashed through Ling Yang's heart.
Ling Yang climbed up a dirt bag, across the river towards the willow island to watch, through the sparkling river refraction of the faint starlight, can vaguely see the island towering many black buildings and amusement facilities, a huge Ferris wheel of black shadow like a sleeping prehistoric monster lying there, the scene is very terrifying.
"Anyway, we've already arrived at the riverside, why don't we go to the island and have a look?" Ling Yang suggested.
"Come on, I'm going to go to you, I can't go, I heard that the haunting up there is fierce, I won't touch that moldy head!" One villager was the first to reject Ling Yang's proposal, and the other villagers echoed him.
Ling Yang set his eyes on the male police officer who led the team, and the police officer obviously thought that Ling Yang's idea was a little too whimsical, and frowned: "I can understand your current mood, I know that Han Xiao is your friend, but she is also a member of our police force, I am also very worried about her safety, and I want to find her as soon as possible, but the river is so wide, and the nearest ferry port is still dozens of miles away in the wilderness, not to mention that the black lights can't pass, if the suspect takes a big living person like Han Xiao, it will be difficult to land on the island without a boat, What's more, Han Xiao has also received systematic combat training in the police academy, which is not so easy to fiddle with, I think this possibility is too low......"
"This comrade policeman is right!" An older villager breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly suggested: "Now that we have found the riverside, even if it is the head of this direction, we can't go any further, why don't we go back to the village first, maybe someone else has found out, and besides, we have done our best, right?" ā
Hearing the words of the elders, the villagers agreed. Seeing that they had not found any clues along the surroundings, they had nothing to do, so they could only agree with the old man's statement, and the group turned around and walked towards the village.
"Oops, I've got a broken foot!" Ling Yang finally couldn't let go of the thoughts in his heart, his eyes rolled to his heart, and he squatted on the ground and hugged his feet and neck and howled. Seeing this, the leading police wanted to help Ling Yang up, but as soon as he touched Ling Yang's arm, Ling Yang let out a howl like killing a pig, and even said that he couldn't move, otherwise he was afraid that he would be disabled in the future, and suggested that everyone go back to the village first, rest by themselves and then follow.
The police who led the team couldn't figure out for a while whether Ling Yang was really injured or wanted to cross the river to the island under some pretext, so he left a strong villager to accompany Ling Yang, looked back at the wide river, and determined that Ling Yang would not be able to cross it without a ferry, so he led the rest of the villagers back with confidence.
Soon, only the two of them were left by the river, and Ling Yang smiled and said to the villagers: "What do you call the eldest brother?" ā
The villager said simply: "I don't have your surname Tao, and everyone in the village calls me Dabao." ā
Ling Yang was in awe: "It turned out to be the famous Taobao brother in the rivers and lakes, disrespectful and disrespectful, my name is Qian Duoduo, nickname Alipay, we are a system, I have the opportunity to say hello to Ma Yun and his old man on my behalf......"
Villager: "......"
Ling Yang casually picked up a fresh grass stalk and put it in his mouth, chewed the fragrant juice carefully, and deliberately slowed down his voice with a hideous expression, and said in a low voice: "Brother Taobao, I heard that you are haunted here just now?" Have you ever heard the story of an old corpse in a mountain village? No, I don't. What about grudges? What about the pen fairy? What about Sadako? I haven't heard of it, I'm just idle, I'll tell you about it carefully......"
Only five minutes later, with Ling Yang rolling his eyes and a pretended mysterious scream, the villager screamed and fled, Ling Yang spit out the grass stalk between his lips with a snort, and said disdainfully: "Bai Chang is a stupid big man, he has such little guts, go back and cry slowly!" ā
Ling Yang drilled into the artemisia grass that was more than one person tall by the river and observed for a while, just as the villagers said just now, the water downstream of the river is turbulent and difficult to cross, but there are several abandoned sand quarries in the upstream direction, and the substandard river sand salvaged in the river is scattered on the bank. Ling Yang traced the river in the grass, walked out of the distance of two or three miles, only to see a weed on the edge of a gentle beach with obvious traces of chaos, ran over to take a closer look, Ling Yang smiled.
The artemisia grass in the shallows was cleared out of a small open space with a knife, because the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, it was difficult to find if he was not close, Ling Yang endured the shaving grass blades and squeezed over, only to see sickles and ropes and other tools scattered in the open space, several old black car inner tubes that were either intact or leaking were piled together, three or five were bundled together, and they were made into simple inflatable rafts, as well as simple oars made of whole wooden planks. What amazed Ling Yang was that the bottom of these inner tubes was all filled with blown and tied Durex and empty plastic bottles, and glued together with wide tape to make the bottom of the boat, Ling Yang secretly praised in his heart: "It's not enough to use drink bottles, you have to get so many Durex, what a waste, it seems that this kid is rich enough, and now he really makes money raising pigs!" ā
Ling Yang happily took out the phone from his pocket, wanting to report this latest discovery to the police officers, after pressing the keypad lock, Ling Yang's copycat mobile phone made a beeping sound, indicating that the battery was low and was about to be shut down. Ling Yang was furious, thinking that he blamed Xu Bing, this Grande, for buying knockoffs for himself, but he didn't expect that the plants vs. zombies that he had been playing for a few hours last night consumed most of his power.
Ling Yang raised the mobile phone in his hand high and wanted to throw it into the river, after thinking about it, he felt reluctant, so he put it back in his shirt pocket, considering that Han Xiao fell into the hands of such a perverted maniac, he would face unpredictable danger at any time, Ling Yang knew that if he ran back on foot to report the news now, if he dragged it for a minute longer, Han Xiao would have one less chance of being unharmed, gritted his teeth and grabbed the rough raft that was half tied in the grass, sat in it and pushed the soil on the shore with both arms, and the whole person swung towards Jiang Xin.
As soon as the raft left the river, Ling Yang suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, as if a large amount of information was transmitted to his brain from the fingertips that touched the raft, just like the data transmission between computers, but it was just some broken and vague fragments.
In a daze, Ling Yang's eyes saw the middle-aged uncle Li Hui sweating and digging the cellar in the pigsty; As soon as the camera turned, Li Hui picked up the long pole fence net again, shook the loach fish in the net into the bucket, and threw it into a handful of crushed bean cakes; There is also an image of Li Hui wearing greasy denim overalls, gritting his teeth and squatting by the river to make a raft; Even Li Hui's process of lifting a wrench and pliers to repair a Ferris wheel was roughly watched by Ling Yang.
In the end, Ling Yang's mind came to the process of Li Hui crossing the river with a similar raft, a corner of the raft; A girl in a police uniform curled up, looking at her round face and long eyelashes trembling in a coma, it was vaguely Han Xiao's appearance. Beside Han Xiao stood a clown, smiling fiercely with huge red lips.
Ling Yang just wanted to open his eyes wide and try to see everything in front of him, when he suddenly felt a sharp headache hit him, and those illusions suddenly disappeared completely. Only the cold river wind cut at Ling Yang's face like a knife, and the pain was piercing.
