Volume 7 The Shadow of the Beast_Chapter 488 is a trick on the bridge
"Report the crime? Is there another murder? I asked.
The third uncle shook his head: "That's not true." It's just that the residents of the two nearby villages, when walking at night, will find some strange things when they pass by this Liuyu bridge. Someone saw someone swimming in the river......"
"Someone swimming in the river? What kind of strange situation is this? ”
"Listen to me. The first to notice this and report the crime was an old man, who had come back from drinking outside, walked past the bridge and looked down on the bridge, and found several people up and down in the water. The old man was also kind, so he reminded those people loudly on the bridge, saying that the waterways here are complicated, and the depths below are different, so don't swim here, etc. As a result, the old man shouted for a long time, but those people still went their own way, ignoring the old man's reminder at all. The old man was also very angry, and said that it was okay if you didn't listen to me, but I was kind, and you should respond to me. The old man muttered and didn't want to care, but by the moonlight he suddenly noticed that the people in the water didn't seem to have heads......
"I didn't ...... No heads? That's a corpse, right? I couldn't help but ask.
The third uncle continued: "That old man thinks so too. He was half frightened and woke up at that time, he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, and now he could see that the shoulders of those people were really flat. Without a head, how can you respond to his words? The old man was so frightened that he ran off and immediately called the police. Said that the body was found in the river. As a result, after the police came, after investigating upstream and downstream, no bodies were found. There are also no missing people in the vicinity. Everyone said that the old man had drunk too much wine and had hallucinations. Although the old man insisted that what he saw was the truth, no one believed him. ”
I nodded: "Did something similar happen later?" ”
"That's right. This kind of thing, if it happens once, you may think that you are dazzled. If it happens again, it can't be explained. However, the second time someone reported the crime, it was not that the headless man was found swimming in the river. Instead, you can often hear someone calling nearby. It sounds like someone is calling for help, and as long as someone walks on the bridge, this sound will come out. But after reporting the case, after investigation, nothing happened. Later, strange things happened here every now and then, and some people saw that in the middle of the night, there were people walking back and forth on the bridge, all of them walking in a hurry, from one end of the bridge to the other. Some people also saw people lining up on the bridge to jump into the river, and the sound of popping water from jumping into the river spread far away. In short, there are still many such strange phenomena that have been filed at the police station, and everything that has been verified after the investigation does not exist. But eyewitnesses tell the truth. ”
Listening to the third uncle talk about the origin of the bridge that flowed in the river, and what happened during the river festival, and then thinking about the recent rumors, it is indeed a little scary to think about it.
The third uncle continued: "Later, rumors about this flow to the bridge spread more and more. said that the souls who wanted to pass by along the mustard river would be stopped by this bridge. Therefore, this bridge blocks a lot of unjust souls, and there is a situation where the unjust souls do not disperse and wander around. Later, no one in the nearby villagers dared to be there anymore
This bridge passes. Villagers, including those in the two nearby villages, would rather take a detour of a few miles than pass through here. ”
I nodded: "No wonder we passed by the bridge several times, but we didn't find any other cars or people passing by." We are the only ones who dare to be affectionate, and the ignorant are fearless, crossing our bridge as usual. ”
The third uncle snorted coldly: "What ignorant people are fearless, that is, they know that there are ghosts there, and Lao Tzu is also fearless." Who is Lao Tzu, Li Dongbin, and how many small souls will he be afraid of? ”
I hurriedly waved my hand: "Okay, okay, third uncle, you are the best." You're bragging about the two of us here. Let's discuss, do we want to go to that Liuyu Bridge? ”
The third uncle was stunned: "What is there to discuss, of course you have to go." Let's promise that Lao Bai to fetch the bridge spirit, we can't be untrustworthy. Besides, whether this bridge spirit can be done or not is related to our house. ”
I nodded: "Anyway, I'm leaving with the third uncle, and we'll go if you say go." Third uncle, do you say that this bridge spirit has anything to do with the haunting there? ”
The third uncle replied affirmatively: "It must have something to do with it." What is this bridge spirit, it is a spirit body formed by the condensation of the aura and resentment accumulated over the years on this century-old bridge. This spirit will absorb the resentment around it and make itself stronger and stronger. And the deeper the resentment, the more irritable the bridge spirit becomes. Therefore, the more unjust souls on the bridge and the river, the more spiritual the bridge spirit will be, and the more difficult it will be to deal with it. ”
I smiled wryly, yawned and said, "Well, actually, I don't know what this bridge spirit is. Anyway, I don't want to ask more, just wait for your news, third uncle. I'll go back to sleep first. ”
The third uncle nodded, and asked again, "By the way, where are the chickens you got from?" ”
After the third uncle's question, I suddenly remembered that those chickens were still closed in the trunk.
"Holy shit. It's over, those chickens have to poop in the trunk, it's over......"
I shouted and ran outside.
The third uncle also got out of bed and pulled his shoes, scolding as he ran: "You stinky boy, what else do you say you can do?" I'm telling you, those chickens have to be alive, and they don't work when they're dead. If you suffocate to death, see how I settle accounts with you......"
I ran outside and opened the trunk of the car.
Good guy, that smell of in it almost smoked me up. But fortunately, those chickens, tied with their legs, are still struggling, and they don't look dead.
The third uncle went over to pick up the chickens, found an empty room, loosened the chickens, and put them in to raise. He said that it seemed that the time to go to the bridge would have to be postponed, and that he would have to wait for a few chickens to recover before he could go.
I don't know when the chicken will come back to life, only that our car is a scrap. I opened all four doors and the trunk, hoping that the smell of would dissipate as soon as possible, otherwise the car would not have opened.
We slept well that night, and the next morning, before I could wake up, I heard the crow of chickens in the yard. And one after another, one after another.
I rubbed my eyes and opened the curtains to look out. Found six big roosters in the yard, vivid, fighting
Hit each other and report the dawn.
The third uncle squatted next to him, hehe, smirked.
Many guests have been awakened and come to the courtyard to see the strangeness. It's not easy for such a scene to happen in this city.
I hurriedly put on my clothes and rushed out to greet the third uncle: "Third uncle, what are you doing here, don't you pull a yard of and smoke all the guests away?" ”
The third uncle rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, I'm done walking, this is to restore the pure vitality of these chickens." ”
