Chapter 90: Late at Night

It turned out to be a dead baby!

Looking at the appearance of this dead baby, he was flushed, his eyes were slightly closed, and his hands were clenched into fists. Turning my gaze to his right hand, I noticed that one end of the line was being held by his right hand.

Is this a dead baby? How can a dead man pick up a fishhook! Besides, the force of this sudden pull ashore is so great that even a living child cannot hold it so tightly.

"The fish has been caught! Weird, right? ”

The old man turned around and stroked his beard with one hand, and gently lowered the rod to the ground with the other, and only smiled slightly at the look of our horror.

At this time, I saw the old man's appearance clearly, his facial features were very delicate, and there was not a single wrinkle on his face, to use a word I learned in the TV series "Eight Immortals Across the Sea", it was "Dao Feng Fairy Bone".

"Old ...... Uncle, this is a fish? Isn't this a dead baby? ”

Zhang Kailong was stunned and stammered.

"This thing looks dead on the shore, but alive in the river!"

"It's not a fish either!" Chen Laosan couldn't help but ask.

The old man just smiled and didn't answer Chen Laosan's words.

Zhang Kailong opened his mouth again, but he still wanted to speak again, and after a moment of silence, he took out the note with blood written on it from his pocket and asked the old man: "This is you...... You let those two children hand them over to us? ”

The old man smiled and nodded again, and replied, "You can call me grandson!"

At this time, I was already a little angry in my heart, this big night, I was tricked by an old man into this wilderness, and he still liked to ignore it......

While listening to us, Lao Sun took out a brush and yellow paper from the bag on his side, and suddenly put the middle finger of his left hand into his mouth, and when he stretched it out again, his fingers were already full of blood.

He held a brush in his right hand and dipped it in blood and drew something on a piece of yellow paper, while drawing and muttering in his mouth, the way he painted seemed to be very casual, in one go. When he was finished, he poked the yellow paper with his bloody fingers, and then quickly fastened the yellow paper to the dead baby's body.

At that moment, my head buzzed, and this whole coherent action seemed familiar to me! It should be a kind of Taoist technique to suppress demons and subdue demons. As soon as I thought that this was a Taoist technique, my head buzzed again, and I immediately remembered that this was a Taoist method recorded in the Taoist scriptures left by the master!

Senior brother once proudly said to me that the records in these books are all the unique Taoist techniques of our Yellow River Dao people, but how can this old grandson make it?

I saw that after the yellow paper scribbled with blood was pasted on the dead baby, there were bursts of green smoke, and then a terrifying scene happened.

The dead baby moved, shaking as if in pain, and made a strange sound similar to a baby's scream. When the three of us saw this, we were so frightened that we hurriedly stepped back.

Lao Sun also suddenly became serious, his hands made a very special movement, and his mouth began to mutter. As soon as he thought about it, the dead baby trembled even more, and the original baby-like scream had turned into a woman's hoarse cry.

Fortunately, it was night, and although the screams of the dead baby were miserable, they were not too loud, otherwise they would have attracted the people around them.

After about five minutes, all that was left on the board was a piece of yellow paper and a puddle of black-red liquid.

The three of us were already scared into a cold sweat, and Lao Sun's face returned to the faint smile he had before.

"Let's get down to business!"

After Lao Sun finished speaking, he picked up the black bag on his side, slowly stood up, and walked to the other side of the river.

We glanced at each other and quickly followed.

Looking at his appearance, Lao Sun should have reached his old age, but he walked very lightly, as if his whole body had no weight. He walked along the pontoon to the other side of the river, then turned and walked to the bow of one of the pontoon boats, and jumped with a whoosh.

At that time, we were still seven or eight meters away from him, and we couldn't see the situation under the big bow, so we thought he had jumped into the river! I hurriedly ran over a few steps, only to see that there was a wooden boat parked underneath.

At this time, I began to wonder if Lao Sun was a young man dressed in disguise, even if it was an ordinary young person, it was difficult for him to make such agile movements.

"Come down! I'll take you somewhere! ”

Lao Sun beckoned to us.

The boat could carry five or six people at most, and it was already very full.

"Where are you going! Grandchild...... Uncle Sun! ”

Lao Sun smiled slightly again and replied, "Go and see how those dirty things in the river are doing now!" ”

Lao Sun pointed to the oars and said to Chen Laosan, "You should be able to row, right?" You're welcome! ”

Chen Laosan is usually a brutal person, and if he doesn't deal with three sentences, he will fight with others, but at this time, he has no temper at all, obediently picks up the oars, and rows in the direction pointed by Lao Sun.

"Sit down! Let's talk! ”

Zhang Kailong and I sat opposite Lao Sun, ready to listen to what he said.

"I'm not a local, the last time I was here, it was fifty years ago!"

This was the first thing Lao Sun said.

Lao Sun continued: "Maybe you are very strange, but in fact, I am not pretending, because the power of those dirty things is getting bigger and bigger, and I can only hide myself in this way!" ”

I couldn't help but interject: "Old ...... Old Sun, I think the people in Xiaohe Village are tricky! ”

As soon as I mentioned Xiaohe Village, Lao Sun's face changed slightly, sighed, and replied: "I am the one who harmed this village, I hope there is still time to make up for it!" ”

"Who have you harmed? Village? ”

The more I listened, the more confused I became, and I hurriedly asked.

"Don't you think the people in Xiaohe Village are weird?" Lao Sun asked.

"Yes! We went once this morning and only saw four people – no! There must have been three people, an old man and two little boys, and the old man was very strange, and the children said strange things. ”

"You're wrong! There are only three normal people left in this village now! That's what you said. Lao Sun replied.

Zhang Kailong hurriedly waved his hand and replied, "Are they normal?" What about the others? ”

"The others are no longer human now, didn't the boy tell you that everyone in this village sleeps during the day and moves at night, except for them? Haven't you ever wondered why? ”

What we said made us sigh in our hearts, what do you mean by not being human, is it possible that everyone in a village has become a ghost?

In fact, on the way back to the Public Security Bureau this morning, Zhang Kailong also analyzed it for us, of course, he pondered this matter from the perspective of a policeman.

Under normal circumstances, nine times out of ten people who rest during the day and are active at night are not good people, if they are not doing something unseemly, why do they have to do it at night? At that time, Chen Laosan's brains and I were in a mess, so we listened to it and believed it.

"Lao Sun, they're not human, what are they?"

Lao Sun replied: "It's stiff!" ”

After listening to Lao Sun's explanation, we understood.

This so-called "stiffness" is actually not a zombie, but the three souls and seven spirits of people have been temporarily suppressed, if they can be rescued within seven days, it will be fine, otherwise it will be a dead body.

The villagers of Xiaohe Village, except for the two boys and the crazy old man, were all suppressed by the filth in the Yellow River, and it was now the second day.

Why is the dirt in the Yellow River targeting this village? It is precisely because of these two months that Lao Sun has been living in this village. As for the two children and the old man who were not stopped by the dirty things, Lao Sun explained it like this:

For the past two months he actually lived in a yard that had been the village mill a long time ago. Lao Sun is a cultivator, so he can naturally see all this, but the strange thing is that the two children can also see that every night, the yard becomes a mill, and they often sneak to chat with Lao Sun, and Lao Sun each gives them a curved jade pendant to hang around their necks, and at the same time promises to keep a secret about themselves.

The child really kept his promise and did not tell the story of Lao Sun, and at the same time escaped a catastrophe.

As for the old man, even Lao Sun couldn't figure it out, he had secretly observed him in the dark, and felt that this old man was not simple, at least he was a really sober person in this village.

Because the three souls and seven spirits of the whole village were suppressed, the whole village was extremely yin, and even small animals such as birds, flies, and mosquitoes did not dare to approach, so we did not see a single bird this morning.

I think the old lady who has been dead for half a year should also have something to do with the heavy yin qi here!

After Lao Sun finished speaking, the three of us were stunned.

Zhang Kailong stood up suddenly, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you, Lao Sun?" What is the purpose of being here? ”

I know that although Zhang Kailong temporarily resigned, he committed occupational diseases again.

"Who am I? Hahaha! Lao Sun laughed and turned his head to look at me. You know who I am, right? ”

I was stunned by his question, and hurriedly explained: "I...... It's the first time I've met you! As soon as the word "......" came out, I thought of the scene where Lao Sun dealt with the red dead baby just now, which was purely the unique technique of the Yellow River Dao people!

"You're from the Yellow River?"

I hurriedly asked him.

Lao Sun was not ambiguous, and nodded with a smile.

"Do you know Han Haicheng?" I thought that Lao Sun and my senior brother should be about the same age, so I asked.

"Of course I do! He should call me uncle. ”

My head is big when I hear it! Han Haicheng is my senior brother, if he calls Uncle Sun, won't I also call him Uncle Sun?

Just as I was stunned, Lao Sun suddenly knelt down towards me, and then quickly kowtowed three times.

"Old Sun...... What are you ......" I hurriedly wanted to step forward to help him, but the space on the boat was small and the movement was inconvenient, so before I could help him up, the three heads had already kowtowed.

"Your name is Chen Xiaozhen?" Lao Sun kowtowed and immediately returned to normal.

"yes!"

"Do you know why I kowtow to you three times?"

I shook my head.

Lao Sun continued: "Because you are the apprentice of the senior brother of the head of the family, you are the nineteenth generation of the Yellow River Chief, but the ancestor left a legacy, and we only have eighteen generations, so you can only be regarded as the successor of the head of the family, and there is another one of the ancestral teachings, that is, the first time you meet the head or his successor, you have to perform three knocks!" ”
