The old man has been engaged in the work of collecting corpses in the Yellow River all his life.

He knows what he does.

That's as it should be.

But the old man definitely didn't expect it.

The green-haired Fei Stiff actually knew more than him.

At least the old man didn't know that there were still Yellow River crossers among the Yellow River craftsmen.

This profession is not available on the banks of the Yellow River today.

So the same question, the old man asked the green hair Fei Stiff.

As for the old man's rhetorical question, the green hair was stiff for a while.

The green-haired Feistiff knew the Yellow River craftsmen, and it was just an attempt for him.

Because in the era of green hair flying stiff life, the Yellow River corpse gate was popular.

It is also highly acclaimed.

Even he had a good relationship with the owner of the Yellow River Corpse Fishing Gate back then.

But to explain how the green-haired stiff knows, it's really hard to say.

"This is my friend, he is from the Department of Archaeology, and he has studied many strange things in ancient times. ”

Ye Youran stood up and explained.

Actually, this kind of thing is easy to explain.

It's just that the green-haired Fei Stiff doesn't know that there are such creatures as archaeologists or historians in today's era.

"I see, it's still your city people who are knowledgeable. ”

The old man sighed.

"Old man, are you the doorman of the Yellow River Corpse Fishing Gate?"

Green-haired Fei Stiff suddenly asked.

If this old man is the person who fishes out the corpses of the Yellow River.

Then it's easy to do.

It's not hard to find a corpse pool.

"What is the Yellow River corpse gate? I am a lonely Yellow River corpse collector. ”

The old man smiled bitterly.

In the next conversation, Ye Youran and the green-haired Fei Fei only knew.

The current Yellow River corpse gate has long since ceased to exist.

The old man didn't even know that the profession he was engaged in had a very glorious sect.

The old man was just a widower, with no children and no daughters.

In order to make a living, he engaged in the work of the Yellow River corpse collector.

Ever since he did this job.

Many people saw him as if they were ghosts.

Even so many years.

Ye Youran and Green-haired Feistiff were the only ones who dared to talk to him and talked for so long.

"Old man, since you are engaged in the profession of a corpse collector in the Yellow River, you want to know more about this area of the Yellow River. Do you know that in history, the Yellow River has been diverted in this part of the Yellow River?"

Ye Youran asked directly.

"If we want to say that the Yellow River has been diverted, it is not really a diversion! It should be said that the riverbed has been widened. ”

The old man thought for a moment and recalled.

It turned out that when the old man was still very young.

The riverbed in this area of water is not very spacious.

But because of the Yellow River flood one year, the river embankment was washed away.

Then the new channel was widened by at least twenty meters.

"No wonder the river surface of this body of water is so spacious, the widest part is probably more than 50 meters!"

Ye Youran looked at the surface of the Yellow River and said clearly.

And the green-haired Fei Stiff immediately affirmed when he heard this.

I am afraid that the corpse pond of that year has entered the bottom of the Yellow River.

No wonder you can't find it when you look for it on this shore.

Looks like we're going to have to go into the water to find it.

"By the way, do you know what's so peculiar about the waters around here?"

Green-haired Fei stiffened for a moment and asked the old man again.

The riverbed here is spacious and the water is fast.

Want to enter the bottom of the river to find the corpse pool.

That's definitely not an easy thing to do.

Although not to find a needle in a haystack.

But if you're unlucky, I'm afraid you may not be able to find it in ten days and half a month.

"I have been salvaging corpses for more than 50 years, and I have encountered a lot of strange things, and I want to talk about strange places......

The old man smiled, but he suddenly remembered something.

Changed his words and said:

"If you want to talk about the peculiarity, it seems that there is really one. ”

"Where?"

Ye Youran and Green-haired Feistiff asked almost in unison.

"The water just a kilometre or so ahead, it's a very special part of the water. I once salvaged an unclaimed floating corpse and left it in that body for ten days, and it didn't decompose at all. ”

Speaking of this, the old man himself couldn't figure it out.

There are many rules for the Yellow River corpse fisher.

For example, when the Yellow River corpse collector was salvaging the corpse.

It is not possible to carry the corpse ashore directly.

Instead, they tied hemp rope mixed with black dog hair around the corpse's waist, and then placed the corpse on the shady shore and waited for the family to come and take the corpse.

After recognizing it clearly, the corpse will be carried ashore.

And when encountering unclaimed corpses, it is also a common occurrence.

But usually, after a day or two no one identifies the body.

The corpse will begin to decompose and stink.

But strangely, in that body of water, the old man placed a corpse.

Ten days or so was still the same as the one who had just died.

So much so that when the police later collected the body.

At one point, it was suspected that he had just died.

But the old man had obviously left the body there for more than ten days.

In the end, I didn't believe the alarm.

The old man was also helpless.

Later, the old man also used animal carcasses to conduct experiments.

Animal carcasses are also dead and not rotten in that water.

It took up to half a month before a little bit of decay began to appear.

It's just that the old man salvaged the corpse, and encountered too many magical things.

So he didn't dig deeper.

If you encounter something that needs to be studied deeply.

Then he will not be able to finish studying it in the next life.

So if it weren't for the green-haired Fei Stiff asked.

The old man had almost forgotten about it.

"Old man, can you take us there?"

Ye Youran asked in surprise.

If you really doze off, someone will send you a pillow.

This old man is simply an angel sent from heaven.

The corpse pond itself is to nourish the corpse with warmth.

Make sure that the corpse does not decay, and refine the corpse into a puppet.

That body of water has a preserving effect on the freshness of the body.

If nothing else, it must be above the corpse pool.

"Are you sure you want to go? It's a wicked place, and I suggest you don't go. ”

The old man heard that Ye Youran was going to go.

I couldn't help but hesitate.

Even Ye Youran could see a trace of fear in his eyes.

The old man had only been to that place twice.

The first time was when he found the unclaimed body.

The second time was when he experimented with animal carcasses.

After that, the old man did not dare to go again.

Even if he usually passed through here, he would avoid that place far away.

"Any questions?"

Ye Youran asked.

"I see that you know a little about the Yellow River water ghosts, so I'll tell you the truth!"

The old man hesitated for a moment and said:

"That place should be the residence of the Yellow River King. ”

"The Yellow River King, what's that?"

Ye asked leisurely.

This time, without waiting for the old man to speak, the green-haired Fei Stiff explained:

"The King of the Yellow River is the river god worshipped by the craftsmen of the Yellow River, just like the wolf of the steppe people as a totem. ”
