Chapter 248 The Yellow River Retrieves Corpses
"You said that there are any special fetishes for carving this kind of thing, and the other three are okay, it's ugly and ugly, but it's a monster anyway, it's good, the whole braised egg, hiss...... Damn, show me I'm hungry. The fat man said, wiping his mouth.
"You can look hungry when you look at the fast stones, tsk...... People say that Sun Monkey jumped out of the cracks in the stones, and I haven't heard of Zhu Bajie. After saying this, the fat man took a sip and pushed me away from me.
"I haven't seen you for half a year, and her cheap appearance hasn't changed, but her mouth is getting more and more slippery. If you go on like this, sooner or later. The fat man said with a mouth, and his hands were not idle, making a gesture of cutting his wrists.
I'm not the kind of person who is too taboo about these things, the fat man takes what I take, and even if he says it, I don't have the words to choke back. I had to shut up. Just touched it, and suddenly touched the waterproof bag I made myself on my waist, and the ring inside felt obvious, and when I thought about it, I remembered it. I secretly rejoice in my heart, this grandson is not without a handle.
"Dead fatty, hey...... I'm still thinking about taking your things as a favor some time ago, and I'm planning to pay it back? I didn't expect ......," I said, and I pulled out the navy blue bracelet from the waterproof bag.
The whole body of the bracelet is a turquoise blue-blue, but compared to the turquoise that is ground into powder and pigment, the texture of this thing is more transparent, similar to jade.
I shook in front of me, the fat man didn't pay much attention to it at first, looked at it twice, his eyes were straight, and he came up directly: "Damn, my mother's son has been doing it for several years, and the most developed is the one on the boat, you are not a fucking half-ass, hiss...... Where did you get it? β
"That Ming tomb, don't you know, the owner of the tomb is also a short-lived ghost with seven wives." I casually told me about the experience of opening the coffin and destroying the corpse in the Ming tomb, of course, most of those embarrassing experiences were omitted, and the zongzi were killed, and finally became a big head.
The fat man grimaced with disdain, and didn't seem to believe my words. But that wasn't the point anymore, and his eyes were all drawn to the bracelet.
"This thing doesn't look like a bargain, when it comes to this, I'm angry, if you don't give the blood chime to that stinky girl, these two red and green are just a pair, if you sell them together, it will be enough for Lao Tzu to rinse his mouth with bird's nest every day in the next life."
I withdrew my hand: "What's the matter, don't you plan to be a family heirloom?" β
The fat man snorted: "This is a matter of two ends, when it is an heirloom, that thing is always a thing to see, and it is useless to have a full eye." In the next life, I will starve to death with a small stone, so why don't I get a bird's nest to rinse my mouth? β
I was dizzy, and I didn't want to give him this thing now. simply put it directly into the waterproof bag: "Yes, I don't want to give it to you now, I want to ......" I turned around, and finally I didn't think of a good idea, so I shut up directly.
"I said, aren't you just for me, turn your face, I was worried about you not long ago because of your fat man." The fat man insisted on coming over to get my waterproof bag, and as soon as I pulled it off, I made a motion to fall.
"Alright, alright, you've got it." The fat man's face was black, and then he turned his head to the side, and finally I only heard the fat man whisper softly: "The son of a son is really unconscionable." β
The fat man walked back to the strange turtle statue, turned left and right, and forced to avoid the gap to look under the coffin, but we were both about to stretch our waists, and we didn't find anything except the stone turtle statue, and the whole coffin was very clean, without any debris, not even bumping or natural weathering and falling debris.
Half an hour later, the two of us climbed out of the inner coffin, all the way to the top of the yellow intestine problem, down to the trouble, a few of us sat on the coffin and ate something, the energy bar was enough earlier, and there was even a surplus, but there were four more people, this time I saw the bottom, and finally I couldn't eat again, so I had to put it away, this is a life-saving thing, I don't know how long I will stay here, so it is estimated that I can only taste the taste.
A few people are still unsatisfied, but unfortunately there is no water, otherwise they can still pad it, these people have not drunk water for almost a day, each mouth is dry, this energy bar is an extremely sweet and greasy thing, and my mouth is also greasy for a while.
While talking, he talked about the things in the coffin, and the other people were dumbfounded, and Master Ma was naturally even more puzzled, and said that it was not right again and again.
The fat man was silent for a while, and then asked Master Ma directly: "Even if you haven't seen this exactly the same, the similar one should be a little eyebrow-raising, the Qin Dynasty is not an ancient without information, and it is finally there to leave a sentence or two." β
Master Ma shook his head, but he didn't mean to know it at all, Master Ma hesitated: "Fat master, Master Lu, you two let me think about it again, and I'll go down and take a look later, there are too many things in my head for a while, and I have to take care of it when I'm old." β
Without waiting for Master Ma to speak again, the horse boy of the King of Autumn Yama on the side raised his hand first, this grandson is not a little bad, and he is the mold of a cropper in northern Shaanxi. This person was a little naΓ―ve, and he didn't know that the sutra was wrong, and he raised his hand.
"This comrade, we used to be opponents lying in the trenches with each other, but now, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated, and we don't engage in the same way as superiors and subordinates, and we don't need to raise our hands to speak." The fat man is energetic, and I don't know if there is something wrong with this place, and the neuropathy has begun to spread.
"Well, I suddenly thought of something, but I didn't know if it was real or fake, and I didn't think about what to say for a while." The farmer spoke Northern Shaanxi dialect, and I was very comfortable listening to it, but the fat man shook his head and scratched his head, and only then did he show an expression of understanding after a long time.
"You say, you say." The fat man learned the accent of the farmer and asked him to hurry up, but he really didn't learn well, a little like the Japanese devil in the black and white film speaking Chinese.
"Taijun, shut up." I saw that the fat man was still energetic, so I hurriedly gagged him and let the farmer say whatever he wanted.
The farmer wiped his face, looked up and thought again: "When I was young, I lived on the edge of the Yellow River, and when I was small, I didn't have any land in the house, and my father and mother didn't have a serious way to live, so I ...... Just ......," said the farmer, and stammered again. I snorted, a little helpless, I really didn't have much patience, so I just said it a few times so that he could say it, and don't be reluctant to say it.
The farmer smashed his fist on his palm, and seemed to have made up his mind: "Hey, I'm not afraid of a few of you guys, my father and mother are following the corpse fisher, and it's not a serious business, this ...... It's also hard to export. β
"Phew...... What the hell do you want, your father and mother have worked hard to support you, you still hate this and that, just like you, your father and mother are the emperor, you have to dislike it. "The fat man is on fire, and it is true that this grandson is not authentic, and the person looks like a person, although it is a little dirty, but it is not a heinous villain, I didn't expect it...... I found that something was off-topic, so I quickly waved my hand to the fat man, and whispered: "People's family affairs, what do you care about, family ......" Before I finished speaking, the fat man snorted, and wanted to say something, glanced at me, and finally shut up, waved his hand at the farmer, and sat down on the side.
"Hey...... I also know that forehead is not a thing. It's just that that business is really not a good thing, and my father and mother died on this, even ...... Even the corpse digger died. Speaking of this, the farmer unconsciously lowered his voice by five or six points, and the atmosphere gave him a touch, and I also felt abnormal.
The parents of the farmer are considered to be the more responsible type, but they are suffering from the composition problems of the earlier generation, and they have been suppressed a little. It is said that the grandfather of the farmer was arrested by the Kuomintang to be a strong man, and then ran back and has been quietly tinkering with the fields, in the seventies of the last century, in the turmoil was uncovered, and finally although it was hard to survive, but people were unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, and their own seven or eight acres of land on the edge of the Yellow River were all washed by the Yellow River. At that time, I was waiting for the autumn harvest, but in the end, there was no grass left.
Within two months, my grandfather passed away, and I only took a broken straw mat with him when he died. People are dead, but the living can't be hungry, the straw mat is on the kang, and the family of three can't roll up together and bury themselves.
I don't know if it's an opportunity or bad luck again, there was an old man in the village during that time, and the old man knew him, but no one in the village treated him well, and this old man was the corpse collector in the mouth of the cropper.
The so-called old corpse man is actually collecting money to help the owner who fell into the water or simply took the initiative to dive into the water to catch the body of the deceased. Since ancient times, it has been taboo for the dead to enter the water, and it is not allowed to turn over for a hundred years, so it is necessary to fish out the body and bury it. The old man walked around the village, and the others knew that the old man was looking for a start.
The old man actually had an apprentice, but he didn't come out of the water not long ago, and now because of the water, people who came to find the old man can stand in the yard, and the old man can't do it, so he has to come to find a few helpers.
The treatment is quite generous, a pound of millet, and a corpse a pound, which was a life-saving thing in those days, the main family had no money, and it was not long after the food stamps were abolished, and the money could not buy miscellaneous things, and this grain was the first currency. But even so, no one came forward, and the old man finally raised the price to one and a half catties.
The farmer's family really couldn't stand it at that time, and he couldn't eat two meals of black flour batter after eating a pot of water, and the farmer's father and mother really couldn't help it, so they went to find the old man that night.
This thing is disgraceful, the farmer's family was not treated well, when the grandparents did not suffer, they were still diligent, the food was full of high houses, and in the countryside, it was inevitable that some people would be red-eyed, that is, these people were the blackest when they were suffering.
Lest people throw stones into the yard in the middle of the night, the farmer's father and mother took advantage of the darkness to find the corpse man, and then what happened later, the farmer did not know, but by the afternoon of the next day, he heard and saw something that he could not accept.
