Chapter 2: Strange Corpses

Sometimes curiosity kills people, Lao Hong reached out and touched it twice, and by the faint light of the submerged lamp in his hand, he first saw a small face wrinkled by blisters under the glass.

At this time, he was not too afraid, after all, he had been a salvage worker for decades, and he had never seen any kind of corpse in the water.

Lao Hong thought to himself, could this be the corpse of the other children they said?

How can a child's corpse be pressed by glass. What about at the bottom of the Yellow River? Looking at the little face under the glass, a very strange feeling welled up in his heart, so he subconsciously wiped the soil around the glass.

Look again.

At this glance, Lao Hong only felt that his scalp was numb, and his back spine seemed to be electrified, and his whole body trembled.

He saw the body under the little faceβ€”at that moment, several thoughts flashed through Lao Hong's mind, and he was even ready to see the mutilated corpse.

The result is still big. Much to his surprise, in a faint yellow halo, he saw a strange corpse that he had never seen before. The corpse appears to have no limbs, and its neck is a long curved strip with a faint layer of scales on the surface.

Oh, my God! Where is this human corpse, it is clearly a snake......

Startled, Lao Hong coughed violently a few times, the breathing tube almost entered the water, he didn't care about the child's corpse just now, took two steps back, and surfaced with the strength of feeding.

After speaking, Lao Hong pinched the cigarette with his trembling hands, smoked three in one breath, and said that he didn't dare to go any further.

Even he didn't dare to go into the water, and others didn't.

Director Liu's face turned pale, and he looked at a few police officers beside him. The observer gave him a look, and then a few people stepped aside, and a few muttered for a while before turning back.

"So be it! In two hours, it will be dark, this matter is too strange, and it must be reported to the city bureau, so that the city can send two professional salvage personnel. He first glanced at Lao Hong, who was sitting on the ground, and then fixed his gaze on Lao Wang's face, "Wang Shu. Remember to let the neighbors go back! ”

An hour later, we returned to the station, Li Guozhi seemed a little angry, did not say a word along the way, until he got off the train and said to Lao Hong: "Brother Hong, come with me."

After the two of them left, Yu Jin stuck out his tongue at me: "Brother, there are all kinds of strange things in the Yellow River, you will get used to it after a long time - I will ask Tian Zhen if he is still back, let's go eat barbecue!"

When night fell, the servants came to the only barbecue stall in the town, ordered a bunch of barbecue, asked for a bundle of beer, ate and drank until more than nine o'clock, during which they talked about the matter of fishing for corpses in the afternoon, Tian Zhen talked about a lot of strange things encountered by the predecessors in the station a few years ago when they were patrolling the river, what can walk under the water female corpse, the huge turtle with strange patterns engraved on the back, I heard my heart tremble.

On the way back to the station, I unconsciously remembered the events of the afternoon: what kind of corpse scared a "gold medal" corpse digger like this?

It's certainly not as simple as it seems......

Back in the dormitory, the alcohol gradually came up, and I went to bed. On the last trip, I fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept before I felt someone touch it gently. My arm, at first I thought I was dreaming, but the itching feeling became more and more real, my brain suddenly woke up, opened my eyes suddenly, through the faint moonlight outside the window, half-light and half-darkness I saw a rickety figure standing in front of me.

"Damn, who are you!!"

I screamed, and sat up reflexively, my heart pounding.

The man first "shh ”

The voiceβ€”

"Yes...... Are you Big Brother Hong? I also subconsciously lowered my voice.

"Yes!"

"It's all ...... Are you looking for something with me? ”

Although it has been determined that it is my colleague Lao Hong standing in front of him, his heart is still hanging, this old guy doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, what kind of nerve! After taking two deep breaths, I cursed.

"Brother, you can trust my brother, don't ask anything, follow me!"

I was stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?" ”

"Go find the baby, a box of treasures, and you will be grateful to me later."

After saying that, he turned around and tiptoed towards the door.

Baby? Where's the baby!!

After a moment's hesitation, I quickly put on my heels and went out.

At this time, there were stars outside, and from time to time there were a few strange bird calls in the distance, which made me shrink my neck.

After glancing around, I saw Lao Hong walking in the direction of the gate, and every few steps, he looked back at me. I hurried up and followed.

The two walked a few hundred meters along the path on the left side of the station, and after Lao Hong stopped, he looked back and forth a few times, and then pushed a motorcycle out from under the tree on one side.

"Brother Hong, is this what you call a baby?" This time, I was even more confused by the second monk.

Lao Hong smiled: "Don't ask, get in the car quickly, you'll know when you get there!" ”

Lao Hong is a senior in the station, and we usually respect him very much, although I have "100,000 whys" floating in my mind, but at this moment, I can only do what he says.

It was an old motorcycle, and when I sat in the back seat, I noticed that there was a black bag stuffed in the basket, bulging.

The car went down the small road to the Yellow River embankment and went all the way south.

Sitting behind Lao Hong, looking at the field under the night, I thought about several possibilities in my heart, and my curiosity gradually covered my fear, where did this old boy take me? If I have no grudge against him, will I not be deceived into being killed in the wilderness? The motorcycle drove along the Yellow River embankment for about twenty or thirty minutes before turning down, and when I saw a depression of the Yellow River in front of me, it dawned on me.

This isn't the place to pick up corpses in the afternoon! When I thought of the corpse of a child in the puddle not far away, and the strange corpse under the glass cover in Lao Hong's mouth, I only felt that the cold hair stood on end.

"Brother Hong, what are you bringing me here for?" I couldn't help but ask again.

Lao Hong parked the car steadily, first looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he lifted the black bag in the basket before smiling at me.

"Brother, baby is here." He pointed to the puddle in front of him, "Do you know what I found in the water when I fished up the body in the afternoon?" ”

I thought it was both angry and funny when he asked.

"Didn't you say that there was ...... besides the body of the drowning child? And strange corpses covered in glass? I patted the back of my head, "Brother, what you said in the afternoon is ......?"

Before I could finish speaking, Lao Hong waved his hand.

"That's the truth, but I also found a box under the water, it's half rotten, do you know what's in it?"

"What is it?"

"Gold! Whole boxes of gold! ”

When I heard this, it really dawned on me, it turned out that the treasure he was talking about was underwater gold!

A well-known online writer once said that human beings' love for gold has been deeply rooted in the genes, and I trembled when I heard the boxes full of gold.

"Is this okay? It seems like...... It's like breaking the law......"

"Phew! It's three o'clock in the morning, and there is not even a ghost here except for the two of us, what are you afraid of? ”

As he spoke, he patted me on the shoulder, bent down and began to tinker with the contents of the black bag. It turned out that the black bag contained a complete set of diving equipment.

Lao Hong skillfully put on the diving suit and handed me the end of the safety cable: "Brother, don't be stunned!" You give my brother a hand, get gold, we two six or four points, I six and you four! ”

After saying that, he turned around and went into the water.

I felt that the cable in my hand was being pulled into the water by Lao Hong little by little, and I was worried again, and I always felt that something strange would happen.

After about half a minute, I suddenly felt the rope in my hand shake a few times, and then a strong force pulled the rope into the water.

Coming back to my senses in an instant, I instinctively pulled upwards with all my might, but the force was too great, and I fell face down to the ground with a stumble.

A salty taste flowed into the mouth, and without looking, it must have been a nosebleed.

I secretly scolded Lao Hong's ancestors for eighteen generations, but when I thought about it, Lao Hong couldn't have such a lot of strength in the water.

Thinking of this, a chill instantly emerged from the back of the spine.

Since it's not Lao Hong, what could it be? For a moment, I only felt that my scalp was electrified, and when I was stunned, I had been dragged to the water's edge, and I was about to let go, when I heard a "bang" from the water, I raised my head from the ground of the condition, and saw a fluffy black hand stretched out of the water.

If you want to hide, it's too late.

The black hand grabbed me by the neck, and I felt a tremendous force pull me into the water.

I instinctively reached out and wanted to break the black hand, but the strength of the black hand was so great that I was lying on the ground again, unable to exert my strength.

Soon a suffocating sensation spread from my neck to every cell in my body, and everything was in the lightning, and although I didn't understand what was happening, I knew that I was probably more than lucky.

A sense of hopelessness that I had never felt before, even though I had given up struggling.

But at this moment, a series of rattling noises sounded again in the water, and the sound was very loud, as if someone was carrying huge stones into the water.

I thought I was about to finish, but at this moment, the force that was holding my neck suddenly loosened, and the instinct to survive made me use the last bit of strength to roll to the left, while subconsciously looking in the direction where the sound came from.

By the moonlight, I saw a white shadow flash across the water in front of me, and then it went black and I lost consciousness.
