"No, the death of the only male member of the Guo family is related to the salvage of the body. ”

Speaking of which, the villager uncle lit a cigarette for himself.

It is a soft pack of Double Happiness cigarettes.

Maybe it's because I have a little chill in my back when I say it, so I smoke a cigarette to relieve my inner anxiety and fear.

Fang Zheng politely rejected the cigarette handed by the other party.

Indicates that he has never learned to smoke.

"Cigarettes are the lifeblood of men, and if young people don't smoke, they lose one of the great joys of life. The villager uncle didn't insist on handing out cigarettes anymore.

Zizi took a few puffs of cigarette, and under the urging of Fang Zheng, the villager uncle continued to talk about the rest of the matter.

Actually, the rest is not complicated.

When the entrepreneur saw that the body had been salvaged for half a month, but the body had not been recovered, he began to offer a reward along the riverside, and whoever could enter the seventy-two ghost gates to salvage his son's body would give one million.

"A million! money that ordinary people can't save in a lifetime!"

The villager took another puff of his cigarette, as if to calm his mind and suppress the greed in his heart. There is money to be made in this world, so you have to have a life flower, the seventy-two ghost gates are too evil, but not everyone has the courage to enter.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards.

Soon, there were many single men who were barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, thinking that they had grown up by the river since they were children, and they were familiar with the water in the river, and began to volunteer.

Among them is the only seedling of the Guo family.

That is, Guo Chengzhi.

As a result, these people entered the seventy-two ghost gates, and the others were trapped for a few days and came out inexplicably, but the only seedling of the Guo family, after entering the same boat with two people from the same village, never returned, and today happened to be the seventh day when the three disappeared.

If people have really been killed, according to rural customs, today is the first seven.

That's why Guo Chengzhi's relatives came to the riverside to shout souls.

According to the timeline, Fang Zheng calculates that since the entrepreneur's son drowned and the body could not be found, to today, it has been more than 20 days.

In more than 20 days, even if the body can be found, it is estimated that it will be eaten by the fish and only a pile of white bones remains.

"Why did all the people on the boat of the Guo family disappear? I see uncle, when you talked about the Guo family just now, the expression on your face was a little wrong?" Fang Zheng stood on the embankment with the villager uncle, the river breeze was blowing, the river breeze was a little cool at night, and Fang Zheng looked at the villager uncle next to him with some surprise.

The villager uncle took the last puff of his cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stepped on it.

"Whew!"

A large smoke ring comes out of his mouth.

"Because one of the other two friends who entered the Seventy-two Ghost Gates with Guo Chengzhi is the son of my old neighbor! You said that if it weren't for the greed of the Guo family, it wouldn't have caused the other people to be ruined!"

Fang Zheng suddenly.

This makes some sense, why the villager uncle is willing to waste time and talk so much with him, a foreigner.

I heard from the villager uncle that his old neighbor's son didn't want to go at the beginning, but since Guo Chengzhi came to look for him once, he secretly hid from his family and accompanied Guo Chengzhi into the seventy-two ghost gates to catch some corpses.

Perhaps it was looking at the mountain caves in the distance of the river, touching the scene, the expression on the face of the villager uncle was a little depressed, after stepping on the cigarette butt, no matter how much Fang Zheng asked, he no longer spoke, and the shadow was obliquely elongated in the sunset, gradually walking away, until it disappeared.

The sunset is slanting.

Under the miserable blood-colored sun, the shadow of Fang Zheng's feet, standing alone on the edge of the river embankment, became more and more tilted.

It was getting darker and darker.

The wind by the river is getting stronger.

For a while, in addition to the voice of Jiang Feng on the riverside, only the mournful cries of Guo Chengzhi's relatives remained.

Looking at the river in front of him, and then at the towering mountains in the distance of the river, Fang Zheng frowned and thought.

He was thinking about everything the villager uncle had just said.

Before you knew it, it was getting dark.

Guo Chengzhi's relatives were still crying desperately by the riverbank, but their voices were much quieter, and their voices were hoarse, while the rest of the people were also persuading them to go back to the village first after dark, so as not to suffer from the cold by the river at night.

But at this moment, suddenly, an exclamation sounded!

"Quick, quickly shine the flashlight on the river, the river, there seems to be something floating on the river!"

There was a commotion on the embankment.

"It looks like a boat!"

"Could it be that Guo Chengzhi's boys finally came out of the seventy-two ghost gates safely?"

The commotion on the shore is growing.

Gradually, under the straight beam of the flashlight, everyone finally saw that the black shadow floating from the river was indeed a boat, and there were still the shadows of a few people standing faintly on the boat.

"It's a boat! It's a boat! Great, it must be Guo Chengzhi and they're back! Quickly notify the people in the village, the people are coming out safely! The people are coming out safely!"

Immediately a villager ran to the village.

"Dacheng is really stupid, obviously he has a mobile phone, a phone call!"

"People finally came out, everyone is happy, maybe Dacheng is happy, and the reaction is a step slower!"

It's pitch black, everything is a blur, invisible on the surface of the river.

The ship is getting closer.

"Guo Chengzhi, is that you? Guo Chengzhi? If you hear it, answer us!"

As a result, the boat that drifted closer and closer was silent, and no one responded.

Just when the villagers on the shore were puzzled, under the light of the flashlights, the villagers on the shore finally saw the boat clearly.

As a result, a panic screamed: "Damn, dead man, dead man!"

Someone even collapsed to the ground in fright, letting out a hysterical scream of despair: "Hell, !!"

On the river, a boat, drifting with the current, there were three people standing on the boat, but the upper bodies of the three people were all gone, as if they had been bitten off by something, the upper body, intestines, internal organs, and blood were hanging on the legs, leaving only the legs below the waist that were eaten, standing on the boat.

Such a bloody and terrifying scene scared many people on the shore to death.

Standing on the embankment, Fang Zheng naturally saw the scene in front of him clearly.

Just as he was about to make a move, suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked up in one direction.

Saw.

In the darkness of the night, a large group of people and horses came running quickly.

Among them were villagers.

There are also a group of people in suits and leather shoes, shirts and leather shoes, and these people are supposed to be people hired by entrepreneurs. These people are all led by a man in his forties who has a bearing that is obviously different from ordinary people, and Fang Zheng's eyes are a little thoughtful, and he guesses the identity of this person.

It should be the entrepreneur who salvaged his son's body.

At this time, the boat that was floating down the river had already docked.

The bloody scene stimulated everyone present more clearly.

The villagers who live by the river are honest farmers, and most of them have never even seen a murder case in their lives.

It was the same group of people brought by the entrepreneurs, who were more knowledgeable and bolder, and after the initial commotion, quickly calmed down, and then a few people hurriedly jumped into the water and dragged the boat ashore.

"There's a fourth person on board!"

"It's the boss's son-in-law! The boss's son's body was found by them! But whose bodies are these three people?"

At this time, a few cries of grief and despair tore through the night.

It was the desperate cries of several villagers.

It turned out that the three half-body corpses that had been fished out of the body of the entrepreneur's son, but they were eaten by something and only half of their bodies were left, were the three Guo Chengzhi who had been missing for seven days!
