Chapter 54: The Devil
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them sat down, before they moved their chopsticks, he suddenly stared at me and asked, his expression was still very serious.
"Brother Zhi...... Why did Brother Zhi suddenly ask like that? I didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Guozhi smiled slightly, it was the kind of smile with a very strange expression, which gave me an indescribable feeling, and then he took out the black bowl from the shabby cook behind him, sandwiched half a bowl of dishes, and turned around and walked towards the security door.
Before, I was very puzzled, thinking that there were some small animals in the house, but now that the cold sweat has come down, a creepy feeling has surged to the bottom of my heart. Li Guozhi served food to the skeleton in the coffin? He's not going to be in shape!
"Bang", and the sound of him locking the door startled me again.
"Brother, I know you opened this door that night!" What I never expected was that after locking the door and turning around, he threw this sentence at me with a smirk.
"Brother Zhi ......"
My brain "buzzed", and I was instantly ready to turn around and rush out as fast as I could. ! I'm only in my twenties, and I'm still in my twenties. A male, I don't want to be killed by him like this, and then soaked in formalin liquid and become a human specimen.
Li Guozhi smiled slightly and waved his hand to interrupt my chaotic thoughts.
"No need to explain, since you are curious and you have seen everything, I don't need to hide it from you." As he spoke, he turned around and took out the key again and inserted it. Entering the perforation, the "squeak" heavy security door is opened again.
I gasped, and I didn't seem to blame me.
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether I should go with him.
"What? Aren't you curious? Li Guozhi's voice raised, but his expression was very calm.
"Ao—" I stood up almost reflexively, hesitated, and walked over. Li Guozhi was standing inside the security door, and I walked behind him, and the brown coffin appeared in front of me again.
"Brother Zhi, what are you ......" I wanted to ask him why there was a big brown coffin in the house, but when the words came to my mouth, I felt that I couldn't speak.
Li Guozhi didn't wait for me to finish, then pointed to the coffin: "Come!" Meet your sister-in-law and nephews. ”
Because he was turning his back to me, I couldn't see his expression, I didn't know if it was a joke, but it was like a thunderclap in my ears.
"What do you say? Brother Zhi. I had to pretend to be confused and ask him rhetorically.
Li Guozhi turned around and glanced at me, his expression was still very strange: "You should have seen it all, right?" ”
That's when I was sure he wasn't joking with me. Another cold sweat...... What sister-in-law nephew? Could it be that the body in the coffin is not to be said......
Li Guozhi is a madman and a pervert...... I cursed in my heart and tried to turn away, only to find that my legs were trembling limply, and I couldn't do anything at all.
"Don't be afraid brother! Inside the coffin were my daughter-in-law and two children, who had been dead for more than ten years. With that, he patted me on the shoulder, then turned around and walked straight to the coffin, picked up the black bowl on the coffin, and turned around and walked towards the door.
At this moment, my heart hung in my throat, for fear that the dishes in the bowl would disappear and the skeletons would eat the dishes, which would be the last grass that would destroy my outlook on life. But luckily, when he walked up to me, I saw that there was no shortage of food in the bowl.
"Brother Zhi, what the hell is going on?" Seeing that Li Guozhi was normal, I also calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and asked slowly.
"They were killed by me! It's been more than ten years...... Back then, like you, I was full of curiosity about the world, and I was also jealous and hateful, and I wanted to be a contemporary knight, but unfortunately I was beaten up by reality. ”
As they spoke, they walked out of the room, and after locking the door, he motioned for me to sit down at the small table.
"Let's have a drink...... I'll tell you my story......"
In fact, my stomach has turned upside down, how can I have the heart to drink, but when I hear the second half of his sentence, I still can't help but tempt. Confused, mainly because I suddenly remembered what Lao Wang said before he died: If you want to find out the truth of the matter, you have to find Li Guozhi.
"Okay!" I forced myself to sit down and poured him a glass of wine.
Li Guozhi took a sip, and then sighed.
"Brother, I have to start talking about it twenty years ago, when I just started working like you. Twenty years ago, transportation was not as convenient as it is today, and river transportation was an important way to transport goods. Private cargo ships are often haunted and taken away. Private boats were the main work of our Yellow River rangers at that time......"
It was a sunny afternoon, Li Guozhi and several seniors in the station were patrolling the river as usual, and they saw that a search boat had capsized not far away.
This is a small cargo ship, who knew that after they approached, several people who were soaked in the water suddenly showed panicked expressions on their faces, and experience told them that there must be something wrong with the cargo on board.
At that time, the river patrollers had the power to enforce the law on the river, and they dived into the water to see what kind of cargo they wanted, despite the obstruction of the boat owner. As a result, Li Guozhi touched a box, got it and took a look, there were several strangely shaped bronzes inside, which looked like a furnace, and looked rusty, and it was a cultural relic.
Several other colleagues also fished out different cultural relics.
In this way, it can be characterized at once - this is a trip to trafficking antique artifacts. Private boats.
In the nineties, there were no treasure appreciation programs such as "Final Word" and "Treasure Hunt", and antiques were not as valuable as they are now, but they were sold in large quantities. It is still strictly forbidden to be private.
As soon as the people on board saw that the matter was revealed, they abandoned the ship and fled. Most of the private criminals had guns in their hands, and there were many of them, so Li Guozhi and the others did not dare to rush forward to obstruct them.
An hour later, the police from the local police station rushed over, a total of more than a dozen people, and began to salvage the capsized boat.
At that time, the ship was overturned on its side, and it was not sunk, and it was relatively easy to salvage, and the employees of seven or eight water conservancy stations, including Li Guozhi, quickly fished it out.
Just as they were counting the goods, they realized that a colleague was missing.
Lao Hu is gone!
Lao Hu is an experienced salvage man, so it is said that there will be no accidents! Besides, there are so many people here, and no one hears the shouting...... Li Guozhi and they hurriedly went into the water to find someone, but found Lao Hu in the stern, after fishing up, the person was already straight and straight, and the strange thing was that there was an animal in the shape of a pot lid lying on his back.
This thing is gray-brown, a bit like an eel in the sea, and the dozen or so onlookers have never seen it.
At this time, an old fisherman who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement shouted from afar: "This is the devil!" This is the devil! Don't touch it. ”
Several people were startled by the old man's hoarse voice, and they all looked at him and asked him what he called the devil.
The old man was not polite, but pulled the boat over and jumped briskly with the oars in his hands.
"The devil is a kind of devil who eats the dead. Fish, which live for hundreds of years, usually live in ancient tombs filled with water, which is now rare. ”
