Chapter 312: The Corpse Collector (2)
Everyone's attention was attracted by the yellow paper, and even Xiao Yu was looking at it blankly at this time!
The yellow table paper flew slowly with the wind, and finally landed in a place by the reservoir, and then the corpse collector quickly rowed a small boat, came to the place where the yellow table paper fell, and directly stretched out the bamboo pole in his hand.
The bamboo pole stretched out one after another, looking very deep, but there was no change in the expression on the corpse collector's face, and when the bamboo pole could not go down, he took out a red rope and tied it in that position.
Then the mute man took out a small net, and then tied a rope around his waist, and jumped down directly, Xiao Yu was shocked when he saw it, it can be seen from the length of the bamboo pole before, it is very deep here, but the man actually jumped down directly, as if he was not afraid at all.
"Hey, they're all hard-working people, this business is really not easy to do," Lao Bai sighed.
Xuan Ming, who was standing on the side, was also very serious at this time, he looked at the place where the blisters kept turning up, and his heart was in his throat!
"Boss, how much does this salvage cost?" Lao Bai said with a smile.
"Well, I don't know, they said that it was charged according to the depth of the water level, and I don't know how much" Urging Ming lit a cigarette and whispered.
"Charge according to the depth of the water level, how much is a meter? But this money should be given, this is all hard work, and it cannot be given less."
"Well, don't worry, Bai Dao Chang, I won't treat them badly."
Xiao Yu quietly looked at the place where the mute man fell into the water just now, it has been a minute, and the other party has not come out yet, how big is this lung capacity? Or will they do some breath-holding effort?
Just when Xiao Yu was puzzled, the water surface rolled for a while, and then a head stretched out, and then the dumb man's entire body was exposed to the water, but there was nothing in his hand, and the mute man shook his head at the middle-aged man, telling him that he hadn't found it.
Seeing the mute man shaking his head, the black-faced man's face instantly became serious, and then he pulled the mute onto the boat, and then both of them knelt on the boat, took out a quick red cloth, spread it in the middle of the boat, knelt where and whispered for a while, and then they took out a bundle of red rope, the red rope was as red as blood, which made people feel uncomfortable.
With the red rope in their hands, they chanted again, and then, like last time, lit the incense, and then burned the yellow table paper, but this time the yellow table paper flew in the opposite direction from the previous place.
"Xiao Yu, what are they doing, they look quite sacred," Lao Bai whispered.
"I don't know, I should pray to the ghost or the river god!"
"Does it work? I think it's better for you to make a move, I don't know when to get it" Lao Bai is a little anxious, if you wait for a few hours, don't do anything else today.
"Wait a minute, see what Suming says! The corpse diggers are here, and you are shooting now, aren't you slapping people in the face? ”
Looking at the place where the yellow table paper fell, the corpse digger slid towards that side again, but this time they didn't insert bamboo poles again, but sprinkled a handful of powder-like things in that place, as for what it was, Xiao Yu didn't know.
After the powder was sprinkled, the corpse collector took out the red rope, tied one end to the mute man, and held the other end in the middle-aged man's hand, and then the mute man jumped into the water again, and when he appeared again, he had come to the place where the bamboo pole was inserted before, and then the mute man pulled the red rope up, and the red rope floated on the water, and the middle-aged man on the boat looked at it, picked up a bamboo pole, and pointed to the middle of the red rope.
The mute man hurriedly pulled up the bamboo pole beside him, and then quickly came to the place where he had slapped before, inserted it, and then a carp rolled and rushed into the water again, and the water surface kept rolling blisters and making a cooing sound.
Xiao Yu's heart also mentioned his throat at this time, in all fairness, he hoped that this time he would succeed, because he saw that it would be very hard to retrieve the corpses, and their lives would be in danger at any time, and they might have wives and children behind them, or parents, so this kind of person should be respected.
This time the mute man took a long time to go into the water, and he hadn't come out for two minutes, if it weren't for the calmness of the black-faced middle-aged man, Xiao Yu really wanted to remind the other party.
Three minutes had passed, and the water began to tumble, and a head came out of the water, but this time, the mute man had something in his hand, the fishing net he had been holding, with a few white leg bones and a skeleton.
"It's successful, good," Lao Bai applauded happily.
Xiao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if he failed this time, it is estimated that he would let himself make a move, and he didn't want to rob them of their business, after all, they all dealt with dead people, and they could be regarded as people in the same way.
At the moment when the mute man took out the bones, the middle-aged man on the boat, his tense body seemed to suddenly relax, and it could be seen that he was also nervous.
"It's amazing, there is a rope that can find the location of the bones," Lao Bai sighed.
"Corpse collector is also a very old profession, just like a Taoist priest, there are very few people who do it now, and they all have their own doorways, and they are afraid that they are also single-handed" Xiao Yu whispered.
Taking advantage of this moment, the mute man went under the water again, and after a while he took out a few white bones, and as soon as he took them out, the corpse collector on the boat immediately loaded them into a black box.
The person who falls in the reservoir, after death, the meat on the body is generally eaten by the fish, and the bones on the body will be scattered into two hundred and six pieces, so the black-faced middle-aged man, looking at the bones, is actually counting the number of bones, of course, in a place like the bottom, it is normal to have a few fewer bones, after all, this thing has been in the water for a few years, maybe it has been washed downstream by the water.
Xiao Yu was very curious, this bone has been in the reservoir for a few years, why didn't these bones be washed down together when the reservoir was released, is there any problem here? Or, what else is there to say about this overboard bone in the corpse collector?
The bones were fished out piece by piece, and in the end, the mute man spent more and more time under the water, because the last bones were basically scattered around and difficult to find, so he took a little longer.
Two hours had passed in the blink of an eye, and the mute man was still floating up and down, but he couldn't find the remaining bones, which made the corpse collector on the ship anxious.
But at this moment, the lake suddenly tumbled, and the mute man suddenly surfaced, and then fell to the bottom of the water in a flash, as if something was dragging it!
Seeing this scene, the corpse collector's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly took out a pitch-black dagger from the boat, and jumped down with it, and the water continued to bubble, and then the mute man surfaced again, and before he could catch his breath, his body was pulled down again, and the water seemed to have hundreds of fish fluttering at the same time, splashing countless splashes.
"It's not good, there are water ghosts, Lao Bai, prepare a talisman" Xiao Yu shouted, and then quickly came to the embankment, took out a psychic talisman casually, and prepared to invite a spiritual object in the water to help him.
