Chapter 308: Changxi Village
Changxi Village.
This small mountain village is named after the fact that it is backed by a stream.
And in the lower reaches of Changxi Village, there is another village called Guoxi Village.
Changxi Village and Guoxi Village share a stream, and the birthplace of this stream is the mountain spring on the mountain.
However, with the addition of hydropower stations on the mountains more than a decade ago, the flow of stream water has been decreasing year by year, and the income of farmland farmers and orchards has been declining every year.
In June, seeing that the melons and fruits were about to ripen in summer, but the ditches dried up and there was a lack of water, and the melons and fruits in Guoxi Village did not grow well, causing many people to complain.
So, just a few days ago, someone in Guoxi Village took the lead and blocked the Changxi water overnight, not only to intercept the flow of the Changxi water, but to irrigate their own village, completely ignoring the life and death of the downstream village, and then to regain the water source.
How could the people of Changxi Village admit this kind of thing.
One party accused the other party of blocking the stream, but the other party did not admit it, saying that their farmer's situation this year was not good, and they could go to the fields to see if they didn't believe it.
Wealth drives people crazy.
For the sake of interests, a conflict broke out between the two villages, and as a result, there was a big uproar this year, causing more than a dozen injuries and one death that night.
A villager from Guoxi Village drowned in the stream due to untimely treatment.
In the middle of the night, a long line of police cars and ambulances drove into the village, took away the corpses and the wounded, and then took the leaders back to the police station for questioning.
Originally, this was supposed to be the end of the matter.
But this matter began to develop in the direction of becoming more and more evil.
Since the clashes killed a villager in Guoxi Village that night, the village has become increasingly unpeaceful.
On the second night after the death, it was said that when a bucket of well water was drawn from the well, a human face was seen in the floating well water.
The man was so frightened that he knocked over the bucket, and then the face was like an egg white, flowing down the water into the sewage pipe, and his eyes were fixed all the time
Naturally, no one believed this matter at first.
However, on the night of the third day when the death occurred, the village of Changxi died.
The dead were the same villagers who claimed to have seen faces in the water, drowned in the water of their own wells.
At this time, the villagers had not yet noticed the abnormality, and it was just an ordinary incident of falling into a well and drowning. But on the fourth night of the death of the villagers of Guoxi Village, people died again in Changxi Village, this time drowning in the stream.
It's no wonder that the dead man was an old man who lived alone.
That night, after chatting at the entrance of the village, many old people in the same village saw the old man go back to the house, the lights were still on in the house, and the doors and windows were locked from the house, forming a typical secret room environment.
But the old man's body was found on the bank of the river a few miles away the next day.
When the police came, they didn't come up with a result, the doors and windows were locked to form a secret room environment, except for the traces of the old man's life, no traces of other people were found, such as the traces left by the murderer, and the villagers don't even know whether it is a homicide.
But today, there were dead people in Changxi Village again.
Early in the morning, some villagers who got up early to work in the farm found a corpse floating in the stream.
Suddenly, there was a riot in the village.
This is the third person to die in Changxi Village after a villager died in Changxi Village. Changxi Village seems to have been cursed, and it is dying at a rate that is dying every day, which quickly causes panic among the people in the village.
At this time, a large number of villagers had gathered around the stream.
The whole village, men, women, and children, all gathered here, looking at the corpses that had risen and fallen in the stream, there was panic and uneasiness in their eyes, and no one dared to go down to retrieve the corpses.
Because several elderly people in the village were on crutches, they were preventing several strong men from the village from going down to the river to retrieve the bodies.
"This body can't be salvaged!"
"The corpse in this water can't be salvaged, this is a corpse that died in vain, and if we salvage this corpse, our whole village will have a catastrophe!"
The old men tried desperately to prevent the villagers from salvaging the bodies in the water.
Although the people in the village respected the old man, there were still people who stood up and said, "Who can drown in the water, who is not a person who died in vain and died young." ”
"In the past, we salvaged corpses from the water, and we didn't hear of any taboos that dead bodies can't be salvaged, and a few grandfathers and uncles didn't stop everyone from salvaging corpses, so why did they stop us from salvaging corpses this time? We are rough people, we dropped out of school before finishing junior high school, and we don't understand the main truth, but we still know the most basic conscience of the dead and the death of people in the ground, we still know it, we can't let the corpses in the water just keep floating, right?"
Immediately, several farmers stepped forward to echo the words, saying that the dead were the greatest.
And this person has been floating in the water, which is not a thing, this stream is the life water that feeds the whole village, and the villagers have to pass through this stream every day when they go in and out.
Not to mention that adults look cold and scare children, no one can take responsibility.
Who doesn't protect their children like calves?
The old men, stomping heavily on the ground with their crutches, panted: "Confused!
"Look at the corpses floating in the water, how is it different from the people who drowned in the water before?"
Being reminded like this, the surrounding onlookers all looked at the corpses in the water, and they always felt that something was wrong when they looked at the corpses floating in the water, but they couldn't say for a while what was wrong.
An old man sighed and reminded: "Let me ask you, did the corpses you saw before either float on their backs or with their backs up?"
"Have any of you ever seen a corpse floating on its head and feet?"
After such a reminder, everyone looked at it again, and suddenly a cold breath rushed from the tail vertebrae to the Tianling cover of the brain, and it was sunny and daylight, and I felt cold all over my body.
The corpse in the water was indeed floating under the head and feet.
It was the first time they had seen such a strange way of dying.
"Then what should I do, do you just let the corpse stay in the water like this?" said a villager whose voice trembled, scared and uneasy.
At this moment, don't care if you believe in feudal superstition or not, such a strange way to die is a person who will feel a chill in his back when he sees it.
"Only one person can save our village, and he has seen more corpses than the rest of our village. ”
"The way of death on the head and feet is still what a few of our old men told us alone when they were young, and the person who dies horizontally can't swallow a breath, and the resentment is stuck in the throat, so he will float on his head and feet in the water. ”
"You hurry up and ask people to find Wang Lao Liu in the west of the village, he has a way. ”
Wang Lao Liu?
Isn't this Wang Youcai's grandfather?
"I, I heard Wang Youcai say that his grandfather has left the village for several days and has not returned......"
Among the onlookers, a child of the same age as Wang Youcai shouted loudly in the crowd.
