Chapter 3: The Ghost Ship 3
How can a living person be gone if he can't see it?
Even if he drowned in the river, then he had to keep a corpse, right?
Therefore, during the day of the next day, the Wang cadres in the commune organized dozens of men and more than a dozen boats to fish on the river, but after fishing for two days in a row, they stopped fishing and did not dare to fish again.
First of all, the second child of the Zhang family was sick, he was sick very suddenly, his face was sallow, the water and rice did not enter, his forehead was very hot, he talked nonsense all day and night, and shouted in his mouth: "Cold...... Cold ...... in the water"
This thing alone is nothing, people, frightened, sick, no matter what, it's still reasonable.
As long as there is a reason to explain it, people will not be so afraid.
But there is something that can't be explained.
Those men who went down to the river to find people were all strong laborers in their early thirties, and the morning was quite normal, but in the afternoon, some people went ashore with trembling mouths and supporting the boat.
When the people on the shore asked what was the matter, the man spat and rubbed the goosebumps on his arm and said, "Cold...... The heart of the frozen person is hairy......"
The people on the shore looked at the sun still hanging in the sky in wonder, although it was not hot at noon, but it was not cold anyway, so they smiled and scolded the man: "Isn't it that I tossed my body at night......
As if he had suffered a great insult, the man angrily patted his chest and swore poisonously.
After a few words, the people on the shore began to change their faces, because they all came back, and the boats on the river docked one by one. Cold, evil!
People who have lived by the river for generations to eat have encountered such a thing for the first time!
Thinking about the illness of the second child of the Zhang family, someone finally felt that something was wrong......
That night, when the men who fished out the corpses went home, there were dogs at home, and they had not yet entered the door, and those wolf dogs who usually saw the owner wagging their tails to meet them, but they didn't know what medicine they had taken wrong that night, and their hind legs were erect, and they bared their teeth and barked like crazy behind the men who went home, and they couldn't pull it.
The timid yellow dog, hiding in the corner with his tail between his legs, whined and cried, and the barking person panicked.
Despite this, the Wang cadre still spoke, fish! Keep fishing! To live to see people, to die to see corpses! I have to give an explanation to the Zhang family, no!
They are all from the same village, and they are neighbors with the Zhang family, and they don't take care of each other when something happens, so it's not easy for this group of men to say anything.
But when I went down to the river again, a group of old men didn't even survive the morning.
They all grew up by the river, and in the past, who couldn't stay on the water for a day when they were given a boat?
Therefore, Wang Gan jumped to his feet angrily and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, no one can say why, in the end, only said that they didn't sleep well at night, and their bodies were very tired!
A person didn't sleep well, and he said it in the past, but he didn't sleep well, who are you fooling?
Someone pursed his lips, looked hesitant, and smurmured for a long time before muttering, "That'...... So what...... As you all know, in my house, there is a big red cabinet next to the bed with a mirror embedded in it! Last night, my mind was foggy, and I always felt that I couldn't sleep warmly, and I woke up in the middle of the night......"
Speaking of this, the man seemed to remember something very bad, and a thick fear flashed on his face: "I saw it...... In the mirror facing the bed, I'm grinning at me......"
Cadre Wang probably didn't react, and angrily rushed up and slapped the man on the head twice, but as he twitched, his hand froze in mid-air, trembling slightly: "You...... You're not laughing? ”
The man cried with a sad face: "Niang Xipi, you woke up in the middle of the night and looked in the mirror silly?" You don't see it, the face in the mirror is not as white as a person......"
After the man's words were finished, a group of people were silent and did not squeak, but they all saw an unusual meaning in each other's eyes.
Cadre Wang's face was ugly and could wring out the water, and after a long time, he said: "Don't fish it first!" Wait two days, if you really die in the water, soak for two days and float up, and then talk about ......"
With a decision, a group of men didn't want to stay here, and ran home.
However, when I arrived in the village, something happened again.
Someone from a neighboring village on the lower reaches of the river said they wanted to borrow a few boats.
After asking the reason, I learned that there were a few people in the neighboring village who wanted to go crazy and wanted to take advantage of the night to catch some parallel goods to roast and eat, but somehow, even the people and the boat did not come back until now, and there was no trace......
After these stalls came out, no one dared to come out at night, every night, except for the barking of dogs in the alley, there was no one in sight, weird!
The village cadres of the two villages got together for a few days to discuss, and in the end, they had to report to the higher-ups, the township to the county, and the county to the city...... No one knows exactly which layer it ended up on.
Later, there were no floating corpses in the river, on the contrary, those men who had gone into the water fell ill one after another, and the symptoms were the same as those of the second child of the Zhang family.
After about half a month, there was finally movement on it, and someone was specially sent to investigate!
It's strange that it's not people from the police station who came, and they weren't in military uniforms.
There are five people in total, three are old, and the remaining two are quite young, a man and a woman, who seem to be in their twenties at most.
Many years later, according to the recollections of those who experienced the incident, I don't remember much about what the people who came looked like, but I remember that there were two old men who loved to quarrel and spoke with a foreign accent, and they quarreled all the way.
A surname Liu, named Liu Yuanqing, sloppy, with a cigarette stick on his waist, is very thin, but his temper seems to be very big.
Another old man surnamed Du, dressed quite neatly, meticulous in a tunic suit, wearing a gold-wire glasses, and a fountain pen in his breast pocket, he looked like a human, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was no better than the old man surnamed Liu!
There is also a monk, a monk who is serious, and the old god is on the side and does not ask about the world.
The two old men quarreled and quarreled in front of them, and the young man and woman, one man and one woman, followed behind and held hands and smiled, but they respected those old men very respectfully!
The man's name is Song Cheng, and the woman's name is Ye Qing!
The five of them followed the river and entered the village.
If it weren't for the village cadres who gave the notice in advance, the people in the village wouldn't have been able to see that this was someone sent down from above!
"Old man Liu, old melon, my apprentice, but there is Su Hui, what do you compare with me?"
"Whew! Old turtle grandson, don't you say big words and flash your tongue, wait, Lao Liu, I really accept the apprentice, and I will definitely be better than your apprentice......"
"Fuck your shit, why don't you die!"
……
The old man surnamed Liu and the old man surnamed Du kept arguing like this, but when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they stopped talking, as if they had completely forgotten that they had quarreled just now.
When a few people arrived in the village, they didn't ask what they were eating, drinking, or where they lived, and when they saw the Wang cadres waiting at the entrance of the village, the first thing they asked was how the situation was with those strange and sick people......
