Chapter 2: The Corpse Rushes
I nodded, looked at Yang Duangong, Yang Duangong's black face became a little pale, and his expression became a little solemn.
But he soon laughed and said, "Your ears are sensitive." ”
My dad didn't hear what Yang Duangong said at the time, but I did, but at that time, I didn't understand what that sentence meant.
I asked Yang Duangong, "Godfather, what do you mean by what you said just now?" ”
Yang Duangong stepped forward, touched my head and said, "It's not interesting, next time the crow comes, I'll grab the stew for you to drink." ”
I grew up in the countryside, and although I don't know what Yang Duangong meant, I also know that crows are not auspicious, and crows are birds that live in dark corners all year round and often eat the carrion of dead people.
Yang Duangong asked me, "Baby, have you quarreled with anyone in your family before?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and remembered that my dad had killed the black dog of the neighbor next door.
Yang Duangong sighed, and did not continue.
Today's weather is not bad, the sun is shining, and the water of the Qinkou River is relatively peaceful. The scenery by the river is beautiful and sparkling, and Yang Duangong took out a red letter and wrote something on it. I don't know any other words, but I recognize my name and the number of my birth.
I was curious, so I asked Yang Duangong, "Godfather, what are you doing with my name on the paper?" ”
Yang Duangong looked at me in surprise, and then praised me and said, "Baby, you are good, you still recognize a few words, follow me to the river at night, and I will find someone to save you." ”
I asked Yang Duangong, "Godfather, who are you going to find?" ”
Yang Duangong smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you arrive." ”
When the time came to the evening, Yang Duangong let me drink the strange bowl of soup again, and then came to the river, and took me on the bamboo raft, Yang Duangong said: "Baby, do you know that our river has been out of the immortals? ”
I shook my head and said I didn't know.
Yang Duangong laughed, did not say things in detail, we sat on the bamboo raft, we set off at about seven o'clock in the evening, the evening breeze blew, with a faint coolness, the bamboo raft was propped up for a while, suddenly a layer of fog arose on the river surface, to the middle of the fog, Yang Duangong selected a position, the bamboo raft was fixed.
Then he took out another piece of artemisia and poked it in the river, as if he was looking for something.
I stayed by and watched, looking for a while, Yang Duangong didn't seem to have a clue, and muttered in his mouth, saying, "It shouldn't be!" ”
"Godfather, what shouldn't you?"
Yang Duangong continued to poke in the river with a penny, but at this time, the bamboo raft that had been parked well suddenly seemed to be hit by something, and the bamboo raft shook violently, and I almost didn't fall off the bamboo raft.
I steadied myself and gasped for air.
Yang Duangong quickly took the lamp and shone it on the thing that hit our bamboo raft.
I also looked at it together, but when I saw things clearly, I suddenly changed color, and I saw a female corpse floating on the surface of the river, the female corpse was blistered by the river and turned white, her facial skin was ulcerated, her eyes were swollen as if they were about to fall out, and the expression on her face was also a very frightened look.
For a moment, my heart hung in my throat, and I almost screamed.
It's just that when I was about to call out, Yang Duangong suddenly reached out and covered my mouth, the light shone on my face, Yang Duangong said to me: "Baby, don't scream, I'll wake her up later, something will happen!" ”
I muttered vaguely, saying I understood.
My eyes widened, and my eyes were full of disbelief, the one Yang Duangong said should be a corpse in the water.
However, the corpse in the water, obviously dead, how could it be possible to wake up. But this will, whatever Yang Duangong says, I am afraid in my heart, so I can only do it.
My heart raced, and I felt every pore open up and down my body, sucking on that fear.
I didn't dare to speak, staring at Yang Duangong. Yang Duangong passed the meeting and said: "Baby, this is a corpse, I'm afraid that I can't do it when I see people, and I may get into other trouble." ”
"Godfather, what else will you get into trouble?" I asked in a whisper.
"I'm afraid now, the corpse is rushing, this female corpse is entangled with you, so let's take the female corpse back and find a place to overtake the female corpse first."
At this time, the bamboo raft was fixed in the water, and Yang Duangong said to me: "Baby, you can drag the female corpse onto the boat." ”
I was timid at the time, and I didn't dare, but after Yang Duangong said it a second time, I tried to pull the female corpse up, and at this time, I also saw the dress on the female corpse's body clearly, and saw that her dress was different from what the people in our village were wearing, but it was like the kind of clothes worn by the rich family lady I watched on TV.
I suppressed the fear in my heart and got the corpse to the raft, but I didn't smell the slightest smell.
Yang Duangong's face was solemn, and he rowed the boat to his home, and on the way, Yang Duangong didn't say a word.
When I arrived at the shore, the female corpse was still on the bamboo raft, Yang Duangong went in to find a white cloth and wrapped the female corpse, and then asked me to drag the female corpse to follow him.
At this time, the time is about 8 o'clock in the evening, and the rural people go to bed early, and almost every household has turned off the lights to sleep.
Yang Duangong asked me to drag the corpse and follow him, I was young at the time, and it was very difficult to drag the female corpse, but when I encountered this kind of thing, I could only listen to Yang Duangong, I asked Yang Duangong with a pale face: "Godfather, where to drag?" ”
Yang Duangong said: "Drag it to the cemetery in the village. ”
The cemetery in the village was about three or four miles away from the village, and I forcibly suppressed the fear in my heart, and dragged it until half past eleven in the evening, during which Yang Duangong did not help!
Yang Duangong took out tools such as hoes in his hands, quickly selected a place, and dug a pit.
And I was tired and panting, and my face was pale.
After Yang Duangong dug the pit, he lit a few sticks of incense, and the incense burned at a speed visible to the naked eye, Yang Duangong's face changed, but he didn't say anything.
After a while, he asked me to drag the body into the pit, and then said: "Female doll, my godson and I, although I don't know what your name is, but your death has nothing to do with us, now we have found a place for you to live in, let you lie down well, you can go on the road with peace of mind, reincarnate, and go to a good family in the next life." ”
Yang Duangong squatted and burned people's money, and I also squatted down and burned it. After burning the dead man's money, we began to fill in the earth.
By the time it was one o'clock in the morning.
Yang Duangong called me back, and said to me: "Baby, tonight's matter must also be kept secret." ”
I nodded, of course I didn't dare to talk about this kind of thing.
When I got home, I cleaned up, and Yang Duangong said to me: "Baby, sleep well, don't think too much about tonight." ”
I hummed and went back to my room, where I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, but after a night of exertion, dragging on the corpse for three or four hours, I fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long it took, the colder I slept, but this was a big summer, it was impossible to sleep colder and colder, and finally I was simply frozen, and I opened my eyes directly, and after opening my eyes, I subconsciously touched everywhere, and soon touched something, I turned my head to look, and saw a person lying next to me.
I quickly turned on the switch of the light, and when I saw that there was a corpse lying on the bed, the corpse was none other than the female corpse that washed down from the Qinkou River today.
Didn't we bury that woman's corpse? Why is it here again?
After I came back to my senses, I ran to find Yang Duangong in a hurry, and when Yang Duangong saw the female corpse lying on the bed, his face suddenly became very solemn, he swallowed his saliva, and his hands trembled. After a pause, he said: "Female doll, your death has nothing to do with us, why do you still pester us." ”
After Yang Duangong finished saying this, the female corpse suddenly sat up directly.
