Chapter 71: The Coffin in the Net
In a hole, more than a dozen people fished up from the bottom of the water and two people, both of whom were frozen into ice mounds, and when they were fished up, the corpses were curled up, like hedgehogs, hunched over, and they couldn't break it.
Turning the two of them over, it was like a crescent moon, but it was particularly terrifying, the expression on his face was like seeing a ghost, his eyes were round and round, and even stranger, these two people's stomachs were empty, and the intestines and internal organs inside were gone.
When Zhao Da'an, the head of the fishing leader, saw this situation, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, which small group members were also scared and trembling, and kept kowtowing.
I listened to the words in their mouths, probably praying for the blessing of the river god or something, these two corpses are one called Wang Fuquan, the other is called Wang Lao Liu, they are father and son, the two of them are responsible for the first net at the beginning, a little far away from the base camp, so people can rarely take care of the two of them, when the two of them died, no one knows.
The news of the dead person soon spread out, and the owner rushed back from the bureau, and after seeing the corpse, he made instructions, he must be strictly guarded, and he must not spread it, otherwise the official family will definitely close the river, if it is a letter for a few months, he will be in vain this year, so after fishing and hunting, what can be done.
Zhao Da'an felt uncomfortable, saying that it was not enough to sacrifice, the river god lost his temper, so he hurt people to eat meat, he wanted the goddess to come and dance the big god, drive away the bad luck, and by the way, please ask the river god to calm his anger, the owner didn't want to do this, because the officials above strictly forbade these feudal superstitions, and it took him a lot of effort to settle the previous people.
But the head of the fishing boss insisted on jumping the god, otherwise the net would not be opened, and those people under his hands would not dare to work, and the two people who died before were hollowed out of their stomachs, not that the river god ate their spleen and stomach and what else
The owner had no choice but to let Zhao Da'an do it, but he must be quieter, don't let the official family find out, Zhao Da'an hurriedly sent someone home to invite the goddess to come, that is, his daughter Zhao Di, but he resolutely did not say that it was his daughter, but respectfully called the ninth aunt.
Agui and I just watched the excitement, but I was a little worried, I faintly felt that there was a feeling of anger here, the Wula River was full of mountains for four or seventy miles, I took the compass and debated the direction.
"Jiashan Gengxiang, the water out of Ding Weifang, breaking through the upward crown belt, this is the feng shui of bad luck, the main injury to the young and intelligent son, and the damage to the young women in the boudoir, retreat from the industry, and the heir will be extinct for a long time."
The feng shui here is not good, but it is strange, I heard that the Wula River has been abundant for many years, but it has not been able to fish in the last ten years, and it has revealed the actual situation of the feng shui here is dilapidated
Just when I was guessing, more than a dozen big men came carrying the goddess "Jiugu", they were respectful to this sixteen-year-old girl, everyone saw the puff, they knelt down, and some people knelt directly on the ice,
But this girl's step has not yet been on the ice, was detained by the people of the official family, it turned out that the people of the official family have been staring, as soon as they saw this goddess coming, they knew that they must be engaged in some feudal superstitious activities, and they were deducted without saying a word, which caused a lot of sensation, which men rushed up to do it against the people of the official family.
I watched those officials and people being surrounded by thirty or fifty men, all of them were filled with righteous indignation, and those officials and family members were not afraid, and after a while, a big truck drove over, and dozens of people got down, all with guys, and when they got out of the car, they arrested people, arrested dozens of them, and even took the goddess away.
The owner is the most bitter, he followed behind and begged and dredged the relationship, I heard that it took a lot of money to put the person back, but the goddess must be deducted.
The official family said that if you fish, you will fish, and don't engage in any feudal superstitions, so they detained the goddess.
The owner didn't have a rut, and finally discussed with Zhao Da'an for a long time, which allowed Zhao Da'an to pull the net.
I can't say anything about this matter, if I tell which officials and family members say that I am a feng shui master, it is estimated that I will have to go in, this is not Longkou Village, I can't be majestic, if I am majestic, I will have to go in, although the atmosphere of the four olds has passed, but the hearts of the people are not dead, which officials and family members still beat us like street rats.
When the sun is in the west. The head of the fish finally ordered to pull the net, so I saw the young man smoking the horse, and after a while, I saw that the ice began to be busy, everyone shouted the trumpet, and pulled the net vigorously, and I and Agui also dragged it, the net was too heavy, and our personal strength was like a stone sinking into the sea, and we couldn't pull a single bit. But everyone's strength came together, and the big net was fished out little by little from under the ice.
"Hey"
"Hey"
The ice was constantly heying, and the shouts of the laborers were brushing together, and in one breath, the first net was pulled up.
A lot of people rushed over the lake at once, all of them came to buy the head fish, because there is a legend, the head fish is rewarded by the river god, can bless people for more than one year, so everyone wants to buy the head fish, as the net is longer and longer, the first fish also appeared, but let everyone down, the first fish they saw this year was actually a soft-shelled turtle, a huge soft-shelled turtle, as big as a bath, but it was wilting, as if it could not live, and the stench was overwhelming.
Disappointment is just time-sensing. Because then a huge school of fish was pulled out, but everyone hid far away, because the stench came out, very stinky, the kind of stench that came out when the floating corpses were salvaged.
The fish ran its head to the ice, grimacing on its face, and then fell to its knees. Kowtowing vigorously, he seemed to fall into a state of madness.
I also ran over, and saw that the fish that were pulled up were all dead fish, very large, some were more than a meter long, big heads, silver carp, really good fish, but unfortunately they were all dead, as if they had been dead for two or three days. It's a pity that it stinks at minus twenty or thirty degrees.
The fish has words in its mouth. It was nothing more than asking the river god not to blame, and then he went to kill a pig and a cow in the ice hole, I don't think it was useful to do so, these fish died a little strangely, and a large number of deaths must have been caused by an earthquake, or poison, or an emergency, and it had nothing to do with the river god.
But I know that this thing must be strange, I asked Agui to carry the big turtle back, still alive, we came to the yurt built on the ice, put the turtle in the big tank, the turtle turned its belly, revealing its belly, the fish turned its belly must die, but this turtle is not ordinary, his belly is actually golden.
I was surprised when I looked at it, this is not an ordinary old turtle, but a "golden-bellied turtle", the line is called a dragon, this kind of thing can bring wealth, often meaning "gold and wealth", but this kind of turtle is not big, it is already a rare thing to grow the size of a basin, but this end is actually as big as a bathtub, I have never heard of it in my life, and I have never seen it.
I looked at the shell on the back of the golden-bellied turtle with a big crack, as if it had been shattered by something, I leaned on the turtle's back and sniffed hard, in addition to the smell of fish, there was actually a smell of gunpowder.
I was shocked and I said, "Somebody's blowing up the mountain."
Ah Gui was also quite surprised when he heard this, and he asked me: "Daxian, why is someone blowing up the mountain, and if you want to blow up the river, you will also blow up the river."
Agui doesn't understand, I came up from under the Wula River, so I know that the bottom of the Wula River extends in all directions, through the springs in the mountains, we have always been on the ice, if someone blows up the river, we will definitely be able to hear, but we have not heard it for so long, and we have not heard the head of the fisherman say it, so it must be a bombing mountain, which means that there must be a deep mountain and old forest connected to the Wula River, I don't know who bombed it.
I don't want this golden-bellied turtle to die, because this kind of thing has spirituality, and the tortoiseshell won't die if the shell is broken, and this golden-bellied turtle is just not lightly frozen, so I asked Agui to get warm water to soak the golden-bellied turtle.
The sound outside was getting louder and louder, I heard the sound of firecrackers, and it was the fisherman who was setting off the cannon, trying to drive away the bad luck, I walked out with Agui, and after watching the fish finish their heads, let the small stocks continue to pull the net, I didn't follow the busy work, and watched in the ice cave, and the fish on the pull was still a dead fish.
The fish put his head in tears, grabbed the fish from the ice, and cried very much, this was the most unsuccessful winter hunt in his life, he had been fishing for half an hour, and he didn't even catch a live fish, all of them were dead fish.
I think this thing is very strange, how these fish died is very strange, the people on the shore who dare not come down because of the stench are also talking, and what happened next is what we all expected, at this time there was a dull sound on the whole ice, "dong" and then the fishing net could not be pulled, the head of the fisherman immediately summoned the "small stocks" with square shovels, surrounded by the edge of the net, and lifted the fish in the net pocket with all their might. It turned out that there were too many fish supporting the net pocket, which stuck the net outlet, making the net unable to move.
When they were done, the fishermen were discouraged, and they felt that they had no strength to pull the nets, and at this time, they heard someone shouting in horror: "Look, it's wood, coffin, the river god is angry."
This sound is like a wail, I looked at the ice, my heart was also surprised, looking at a huge red coffin stuck on the ice, carved dragons and phoenixes and ghost patterns, the coffin is more than a meter high, how long I don't know, if this thing is pulled out at night, I don't know how many people will be scared to death.
The fish ran to the mouth of the hole, looked at the coffin, and showed a look of fear on his face, at this time he was not the only one who was afraid, everyone seemed to be in a panic, and the coffin was caught by fishing, which was a little scary no matter how it was said.
I watched everyone panic, some people kept kneeling, some people cursed, and the whole winter hunting team became a little irritable and crazy, I knew that if I wanted to calm people's hearts, I estimated that it was going to be chaotic.
"Guys."
The sound of trying to break through the ice made all the panicked people look at me. Bird Guangyang died.
"Intimidation"
"Don't coax," those men shouted with great momentum.
I yelled again: "If you don't coward, fuck it, pull it up and see what the river god looks like, pull it or not"
"Pull"
