Chapter 111: Bonfire Night Talk
Third brother, do you remember what you did before you fell into a coma? I hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and asked.
"I ...... I remember let's go find that ...... together The old man who left the note! - That's him! Chen Laosan touched his head and replied, and when he saw his uncle standing opposite, he stretched out his finger and pointed at it.
"You don't remember anything after you found me?"
Uncle Shi walked over, grabbed his left wrist, and asked.
"I remember you led us to jump into a small boat...... And then...... And then I couldn't think of anything. ”
Uncle Shi took the pulse for him and said, "Except that the body is a little weak, there is nothing else wrong, you put on your clothes first, and then eat this." After speaking, Uncle Shi took out a small black bottle from his bag, poured out a small pill with a strong herbal smell from it, and handed it to me.
Only then did Chen Laosan notice that he was naked, and his hands were bloody, so he quickly got dressed, and swallowed the pill I handed over, and then he inadvertently turned around and saw the huge bronze door behind him.
"Such a door, I ...... I've seen it! ”
Chen Laosan pointed to the bronze door and shouted tremblingly.
"We all know it, you've already said it!"
I briefly told the previous story, and Chen Laosan was dumbfounded when I heard it, as if it was difficult to accept.
"Am I falling for the Gu?"
Chen Laosan and I have been to Grandma's valley together, and I also know the power of Gu worms, and when I heard what I had done before, I immediately thought of Gu worms.
In the ten or so minutes that I gave Chen Laosan a "make-up lesson", everyone also took a break, although they had rested a few times before, but they could sit in a pile of graveyards, and no one could rest well.
"It's time for us to go back!"
Uncle Shi stood up as he spoke, glanced back at the huge bronze door, bowed deeply, and then turned around and walked towards the river.
I remembered the experience when I came here before, I saw a lot of weird and terrible things in the river in front of me, and I would hallucinate, and Uncle Shi also said that it is difficult for ordinary people to come in alive.
I'm worried that Chen Laosan is now physically exhausted, and if he can't bear it, won't he worry about his life! reminded Uncle Shi in a whisper:
"Will they be able to get out of this river?"
"It's okay! Didn't you bring the jade pendant I gave! Besides, the way back and the way from are not the same way! ”
Not the same path? I don't understand it, shouldn't it be how you got here and how to go back? Forget it! There are so many things I don't understand in this hellish place!
Four people got on board, and this time I volunteered to be the helmsman.
Uncle Shi commanded with a compass, and the ship first passed through a strange scene of dense stars, and the two moons in the sky disappeared in an instant, and the stars in the sky were replaced by four people who were stunned!
A few minutes later, the stars disappeared again, and the sky suddenly became black, as if a heavy rain was coming
"Don't look into the water! All of this is an illusion! ”
Uncle Shi reminded us.
Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan simply lay down on the boat, and I still had to row, so I had to straighten up and pretend to be very bold.
Strange to say, when I came, as soon as I reached this strange section of the river, the boat went forward by itself, and this was going back, not only did the boat not go by itself, but there seemed to be a force pulling it back, forcing me to work harder, I think there were many hands under the boat pulling the boat back at this time!
In the next ten minutes, the surrounding scene changed several times, and I was mentally prepared, but I was stunned to control my curiosity and not look into the water.
Suddenly, it was dark all of a sudden, and I thought it was a change of "tricks", but Uncle Shi smiled and said, "We're back!" ”
When I looked closely, the surroundings had become the Yellow River that I was very familiar with.
When the two of them heard Uncle Shi's shout, they also raised their heads.
As soon as they heard that they were back, several people were very happy, Zhang Kailong hurriedly looked at his watch, and then said, "I'm leaning": "Why is it just twelve o'clock!" I remember it was half past ten when we left......"
Before he finished speaking, he patted his thigh, and asked Uncle Shi very strangely: "Old man Sun, is that ...... Doesn't time go in that illusory shadow? ”
Uncle Shi smiled faintly, cleaned up the compass and dust, and replied: "Didn't I say, it is a world on the dividing line between yin and yang, which neither belongs to our world nor to the underworld, so the time of the underworld and the time of the yang world are not the time of this land!" ”
Uncle Shi's words were like tongue twisters, and his expression was not very clear, but we still understood it.
Chen Laosan said that he had nothing to say, and took the initiative to take the oars, and the four of them were in a good mood, chatting while returning to the pontoon.
Zhang Kailong is destined to eat the meal of the police in his life, and when he saw that his uncle was in a good mood, he committed occupational disease again.
"Old man Sun, I have always had a doubt, I want to ask you" While speaking, there was a flattering smile on his face. I have rarely seen Zhang Kailong like this before, and at that moment, the image of an iron-clad tough guy fell in my heart instantly.
As the saying goes, "raise your hand and don't hit a smiling person", he was embarrassed to refuse again, so he replied with a smile: "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask!" My grandson knows, he will tell you! ”
"Old man Sun, there was an old fisherman nearby who caught a baby-faced Yellow River eel, and that night there were also metal carp and a dead baby of two colors, one red and one white, ...... were caught at the same time."
Uncle Shi's face sank and he thought for a moment. He replied, "I've seen the old fisherman you said." Let's talk about these two dead babies first! When you came to the pontoon bridge to look for me before, you also saw it, didn't I catch one too? This is the abandoned baby of the Yellow River!
Because now the evil things in the river are haunting, the dead babies who were abandoned to the river before did not rot, but absorbed the evil qi and became a kind of 'water ghost', don't look at this thing like a dead child, but in the water there is infinite power, many people who drowned in the Yellow River were pulled down by this thing!"
Saying that the boat had already docked on the pontoon, Chen Laosan hurriedly put down the oars, tied the cable to the pillar of the pontoon boat, and the four of them jumped ashore one after another.
It was August, and the Yellow River was very refreshing in the early morning. The main reason is that there have been accidents in the Yellow River in the past few days, and the district has also issued a notice to let everyone get as close to the Yellow River as possible in the past few days, otherwise at this point, you will also see sporadic city people lighting bonfires on the Yellow River stalls, eating barbecue, and enjoying the beautiful night view of the Yellow River.
Some are family, some are close friends, but some come to cheat.
I met Li Xiaobai once last year.
At that time, it was also more than twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and we wanted to see if the net had been replenished before, but as soon as we got off the embankment, we saw a faint bonfire on the beach on the edge of the Yellow River.
The two of us were startled, and quickly squatted down and crawled forward like stormtroopers in anti-Japanese dramas.
We were lying on our stomachs in front of a pile of sand, and we were just over 50 meters away from the bonfire.
We see a man riding on top of a woman, barely clothed, and the man slapped the woman's ass with one hand, and grabbed it with the other, and his mouth was full of foul language.
The woman moaned and begged for mercy......
At that time, I didn't know anything about this thing between men and women, and I thought that there were bad people doing bad things! I wanted to rush over, but was pulled by Li Xiaobai.
He whispered in my ear, "People are doing business!" Don't go over and ruin the good things of the two of you......"
……
Now it is pitch black on the beach of the Yellow River, there is no light in the whole place as far as the eye can see, and a few unknown bird calls occasionally come from the darkness in the distance, which makes us feel inexplicably cordial.
"Old man Sun, two brothers, it's rare to be so quiet here tonight, we can be regarded as sharing weal and tribulation, is there a 'bonfire night talk' in Yaxing?"
In fact, I understand Zhang Kailong's thoughts, just now he asked Uncle Shi a few questions, although Uncle Shi promised him to 'know everything', but because the ship docked, the exchange between the two was delayed, and he didn't want to let go of this opportunity.
Several people acted separately, Chen Laosan and I were responsible for finding firewood, and Zhang Kailong went back to the car to get wine and peanuts.
It just so happened that there was an abandoned boat nearby, and it was rotten with only the planks left, and we crackled and crackled, and it didn't take long to tear down a pile of wood.
The two piled up the wood together, and Zhang Kailong also came back with a bag of things.
"You've got a lot of stuff in that car!"
I quipped.
Zhang Kailong smiled and replied, "No way! The work is special, I ate the last meal, I don't know when the next meal will be eaten, we have simple daily necessities on the police car, which is also a professional characteristic! ”
Saying that, he first took out a piece of oilcloth and threw it to me, I quickly spread the oilcloth on the ground, Zhang Kailong took out a few bottles of wine (with liquor and beer), a few packets of peanuts, and a few packets of small pickles from the bag.
"Old man Sun, I don't know what taboos you believers have......
Before Zhang Kailong finished speaking, Uncle Shi waved his hand and replied: "We have no taboos", and as he spoke, he picked up a bottle of Beijing Erguotou, flicked it with his middle finger, and with a "snap", the bottle lid flew to the side.
The four of them drank wine and chatted casually.
said that it was idle chat, but in fact, Zhang Kailong had been asking about the Yellow River in a roundabout way.
Uncle Shi drank half a bottle of wine, and gradually talked more.
He said that the baby-faced Yellow River eel is the "dark messenger" of the Yellow River, and only when the yin qi in the river is extremely heavy, they will come out of the silt at the bottom of the river, and it is said that such a large Yellow River eel eats the flesh of dead people, so at this time, it is difficult for the drowning person to find the body, because in less than a day, the flesh of the corpse will be eaten by the fish at the bottom of the river.
