Chapter Ninety-Three: The Gathering of Dead Fisheyes
The warm and simple smiles on the riverside shore are not only not reassuring, but only exacerbate the unease.
When the ferry got closer and closer to the shore, the figures of the villagers on the shore became clearer and clearer, and the smiling faces were too bright, and in the face of all this, the passengers who had just shouted and shouted at the two people weighing nine catties were suddenly stunned, and they were confused and realized that something was wrong at this moment.
"What's going on?"
"What the hell is going on?" The two couples surnamed Chen looked at this scene with strange expressions, "Where is this?" ”
The others also stopped attacking, looking suspiciously, and staring warily at the shore.
"I said I was a policeman, not a robber, and now you believe me?" It's okay if Team Zhang doesn't say it, as soon as this statement comes out.
"You're in the same group as the villagers?" The cigarette in the mouth of the middle-aged man surnamed Ge fell to the ground.
Team Zhang laughed angrily, "Heh." ”
"Welcome to Ferry Village." The ship's announcement suddenly sounded, "Welcome to Dukou Village...... Welcome to the ...... of Ferry Village"
The ship's radio played the same sentence over and over again, "Welcome to Dukou Village...... Welcome to ......"
The repetition over and over again is unsettling and irritating.
"Stop, stop, don't welcome......" The middle-aged man surnamed Ge rushed to the side of the cabin and picked up a wooden stick and smashed the horn to pieces.
"Welcome to Dukou Village...... Happy... Cross..... Village...... Mura ......: "This time the horn is really stuck.
The ferry gradually stabilized.
"What's wrong?" Team Zhang bumped his nine-pound shoulder, "Are you okay?" ”
"No?" Heavy Jiujin subconsciously replied with a word, his eyes were still directly at the villagers on the shore, and the black and gold lines in his pupils slowly expanded.
Captain Zhang frowned and lowered his voice, "Since we have come, this village will definitely investigate, and the first priority is to find Arya," he said, glancing at the scavengers on the deck, "try your best to ensure the safety of the scavengers." ”
This time it was a private trip, and it was obviously inappropriate to call for support, and the police station couldn't control the wilderness ruins.
Team Zhang could only tell him again to weigh nine catties: "We have no support and no insurance, and we can't even get a pension if we die, don't be impulsive." ”
Weighing nine pounds, he stood motionless, his face was pale, and his thin body seemed to be blown away by the wind.
"Scared?" Although it was unexpected, but thinking about weighing nine pounds after all, he was just an adult child, and the first time he came to the wilderness, he encountered this kind of battle, and after a while, Team Zhang patted her on the shoulder, "I'm afraid." "Lest you be enthusiastic about righteousness and courage every day, and you will be too likely to cause trouble.
Secretly poking and poking, hoping to weigh nine catties and see the danger of the real world of the earth, Team Zhang never imagined what he saw at this moment.
Weighing nine catties, his eyes swept around the shore to make sure that no villagers were left behind.
Weighing nine pounds, he blinked, closed his eyes slightly, opened them again, and used the 'True Spirit Pupil' again to make sure he was not mistaken.
The villagers on the shore who were smiling brightly were all big-headed fish weighing nine catties, nine out of ten with huge fish heads, and several with dead fish eyes.
Subconsciously took a step back, not because she was timid, but who could be looked at by dozens of big-headed fish with a smile and really had no reaction.
"It's too big."
"Huh?"
"Fish head." weighs nine pounds, and I have never seen such a big fish head in the eighteen years before my death, and the impact of the picture is too strong.
Big taro? Captain Zhang didn't understand how this unfolded.
The rest of the ship didn't understand even more, so who exactly were the robbers?
The ship stopped.
The big-headed fish came to the ferry, and the leader gave the order, "Get on board and unload." ”
All the big-headed fish began to act, smiling and swarming up, one by one, their lips wide open, their scales flashing, their eyes glaring, and their whiskers swinging in the air rushing towards them, this picture is beautiful and impossible to look at.
Heavy nine catties hurriedly shook his head to interrupt the effect of the true spirit pupil, and the excited villagers who showed their big white teeth with black ointment flocked up.
Will it resist or will it be captured?
Weighing nine pounds, he made eye contact with Team Zhang and made a decision.
"So much?"
"Oh my God, there are so many people today?"
"Ahh......hh
"Ah......h
Interspersed with the villagers' conversations are a lot of meaningless monosyllabic syllables that don't sound like pure interjections.
The head fish was not the first to get on the boat, but stood on the shore to direct the villagers' actions, and it was obviously not the first time they had done this, although they were excited, they were not flustered, and their actions were orderly.
There was a lot of joy and excitement, as if it was a new year.
The man's smile immediately sank when he saw the number of passengers lying on the deck of the ferry, "Why did you bring so many people back?" ”
Weighing nine pounds, he immediately pricked up his ears when he heard the words.
The old man on the ferry had joined the villagers' team at some point, shook his head in the face of the big-headed fish led by him, and replied, "Village chief, we can't help it, someone woke up from a dream, several crew members fainted, and the little stammerer could only wake me up and a few prey to inform the others."
But when I woke up, I found that everyone on the boat had fainted, and I had no choice but to bring everyone back. ”
said this as if he had been wronged, and he was very dissatisfied with the two who woke up without permission, Jiujin and Captain Zhang.
"It's her and him, these two woke up somehow." The old man approached the village chief and pointed to the two people who weighed nine catties and Team Zhang. ,
"The man claimed to be a police officer."
The word policeman made the village chief's face change, showing a little worried look, but the others had no such concerns at all, and one by one they excitedly dragged the people on the deck ashore.
Weighing nine pounds and rounding off Captain Zhang can be regarded as being tied up.
The old man glanced at the surnamed Ge and smiled, "Thank you for your help along the way." ”
The surname Ge is really not from the gang of Dukou Village, and the couple surnamed Chen also realized that they had made a mistake at this time, but it was too late at this time.
The little flower girl had tears in her eyes and was scared silly.
"I'm almost awake, throw them all into the pool," the village chief lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, and the expression on his face became firm.
"Will the disappearance of so many people at the same time attract attention from the surrounding area?" Another big-headed fish next to the village chief voiced his concerns.
"I can't do it anymore." The village chief looked at the time, and his face became a little more anxious, "It's almost time for the sacrifice, there are still many things to prepare, what about the sacrifice, why hasn't the boat that sent the sacrifice come back yet?" ”
Weighing nine pounds, his brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and the boat didn't go back to Ferry Village? And what about Arya, where did she go, did she wake up?
If Arya wakes up, then she will definitely find a way to contact Team Zhang.
The village chief was worried about the fact that the ferry had brought back too many people, but the other villagers had no such scruples, they were just excited about the huge harvest this time.
Circled around the sleepy crowd excitedly.
"Tie them up."
Heavy Jiujin and Zhang team, including the husband and wife surnamed Chen, were all tied up.
"What do you guys want to do?"
"Damn, what do you want to do, I'm going to kill you...... Loosen up, loosen quickly... Hmm" The scolding middle-aged man was gagged, and he couldn't say the whole thing, so he could only stare.
But he stared at these big-headed fish, weighing nine pounds, and wanted to persuade him not to waste his efforts and create sound source pollution.
"Let's go down." Weighing nine pounds, several people were tied and thrown on the ground with their hands and feet.
The villagers were busy dealing with the people who were still asleep, and they couldn't take care of them for a while.
"Hurry up."
"There is still a lot of preparation for the sacrifice, don't be lazy."
Weighing nine pounds, he lay on the ground and watched these villagers peel off the sleeping passengers, stripping off their clothes one by one, not even letting go of their big pants, regardless of men, women and children.
Bang.
The passengers, who were still sleepless, were pushed into the village pond by the excited villagers, one after the other, like dumplings, peeled clean and pushed down one by one.
From the sound of falling water, you can hear that the water in the pond is not deep.
But this still made the sober few people tremble, the high radiation of the wilderness ruins is not foolproof even if they wipe the protective cream, not to mention being stripped so clean, if they are dragged out for a day, let alone a day, even if they are afraid that they will not be able to withstand it for an hour or two.
The middle-aged man surnamed Ge was so frightened that he didn't dare to say "Hmm... Hmm..."I'm afraid of getting noticed and getting caught and undressing.
Fortunately, the terrain of this village is special, and most of the village is not directly exposed to sunlight under the shade of the mountains.
The manpower was tight, and there was only one young man who was guarding next to him, who had a black face, and he couldn't stop laughing.
Every time I see someone being stripped clean, I will clap my hands excitedly.
This atmosphere reminded her of when she was in elementary school, when her father took her to watch a documentary about the Chinese New Year on the pretext of learning traditional customs and culture.
One of them is about the scene of the village killing pigs for the New Year, the whole village will participate, everyone has a happy smile on their faces, the expectation of the New Year, when the pig knife wipes the neck of the moment of cheering, followed by firecrackers, gongs and drums.
When the work is done, the pig is slaughtered and eaten in the shaved pot soup, the freshly cut pork is boiled in the pot, and people chat around the table with bowls and enjoy the hot and delicious pork.
It's called a jubilation, that picture, that scene, it's not the same as at this moment, except that it's not a pig but a person waiting to be slaughtered.
Heavy Jiujin shook his head and threw out the overly detailed memory pictures in his mind, and if she thought about it again, she should think of the scene of people being pushed into a boiling water soup pot to stew.
There is no water in the pond.
It's almost time to wake up, weighing nine pounds and thinking of what the village chief said, is the time for falling asleep fixed?
After a while, he was still asleep when he saw the little stutterer who was carefully carried off the boat.
This also confirmed the speculation that the dream could only continue when the little stammering fell asleep, this was his dream, and if he woke up, the dream would no longer exist.
"Hey, hello." The boy who weighed nine pounds and rushed to the guard next to him smiled slightly, trying to strike up a conversation.
Captain Zhang glanced at the nine catties, and said in his heart that this little girl still knew how to take advantage of her appearance, but she didn't know that the result was beyond his expectations.
Before he could think of what to say next, the boy took two steps back, stared at her with a wary and panicked face, and waved the wooden stick in his hand, "Ah... Ahh
A few short shouts, as if to say, "You give me honesty, or I'll beat you." The look was frightened.
Don't ask how you know how you weigh nine pounds, she guessed.
"He can't speak."
Is it mute?
The nine-pound gaze fell behind the boy's ear, and because the range of movement was lifted open of the long hair, there was something like fish gills behind the ear, and the black ointment was not completely covered.
"You see?"
"You see?"
Team Zhang and Jiujin said in unison, and nodded at the same time, "See." ”
Compared with Team Zhang's surprise, weighing nine catties at the moment, he suddenly realized that he was really a veritable big-headed fish.
The kid is most likely not mute, but he can't speak human language.
Team Zhang said again, "Don't be afraid, child, we just want to ask you something." ”
"Ahh Ahhhhh.......h
The Chen couple also saw it, "Aren't they human? ”
The two of them were surprised and didn't know how to react for a while.
"But haven't the people of this ferry village been operating the ferry in Wuyatou Mountain, how can they not be people?"
"The rumors are true, the rumors are true." The little flower girl was frightened at this moment, "It's over, are they really going to eat people, have the people in this village been assimilated by monsters?" ”
Heavy Jiujin ignored the people beside him, and shifted his gaze to the place where the ferry was moored by the river.
I saw a few villagers standing by the river and throwing something into the water, and a shadow soon appeared on the river.
It's fish, big and small.
It didn't look like a kind of fish that weighed nine catties, and she could only be sure that this fish was definitely not found in the vegetable market.
Schools of fish leap up from the water and scramble for food.
There is a large area of Wuyang, I don't know if I don't see it, and I am shocked when I see it.
The villager quickly retreated after spreading the food, and could see that she was also afraid of the fish in the water.
The village is built on the mountain, just on the edge of the riverside of Wuyatou Mountain, you can only get to it by waterway, the mountain road is all steep cliffs, there is no way to walk in, you can only rely on climbing.
A spacious flat area in the recess of the mountain makes the village a village.
At the end of the hill there is a naturally formed pond, which is divided into pools by boulders, the largest of which is 30 meters in diameter and the smallest of which is less than 1 meter in diameter.
The people who were stripped clean were all thrown into the largest pool, and a few people weighing nine catties could not escape, and some villagers came and carried them over, and several people were thrown into a small pool.
"The village chief said that these people should be dealt with separately."
On the other side of the river, there is a small village on this side of the mountain, a long, long time ago this small village was beautiful, the wind and rain were smooth, and the villagers lived in prosperity and peace, but sudden earthquakes and floods destroyed the peaceful life of the mountain village.
Dead and wounded, the remaining villagers hid in the col, at first it was only a brief refuge, and when the earthquake and flood receded, they realized that the original world no longer existed, radiation, food shortages, two small earthquakes in three days.
The people of this village believe that the river god of Wujiang is the blessing of the river god to survive the successive disasters, and in order to thank the river god for the blessing of the incense that continues to be used in the village for generations, it is necessary to send sacrifices regularly and uninterruptedly.
This is not such an uncommon legend, if it is only like this, it is at best a feudal superstition, seeking solace in the soul after a major disaster.
