"Jumping off a cliff?"

Ge Zhuang and I both took a breath, "What are you looking for us to do about this, hurry up and report the case to the county!" ”

"Do you still need to talk about reporting the crime?" The village chief took a puff of cigarette, the smoke was filled, and his face became more and more confused.

"That afternoon, I accompanied your Uncle Genzi to the county seat, the county came to take away the body, but didn't care about the second Niu who fell off the cliff, how scary the water flow of the chaotic slope was, and no one in the village dared to go down to fish, I originally thought that this kind of thing happened, Niu Lao Er could only admit that he was unlucky, but the things that followed became more and more strange."

Ge Zhuang interjected, "What's a strange method? ”

The village chief threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it fiercely.

"About two days later, Widow Chen in the village went to the back mountain to cut pigweed with a frame on her back, and there was a torrential rain in the middle of the road, she quickly hid in a cave, and before the rain stopped, Widow Chen saw a person sitting on the back hillside, singing mountain songs behind her back."

Widow Chen thought to herself, who was the one who was going to die and sit there singing in the heavy rain? He stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted. You know what? When the singer turned around, she didn't scare her heart! The person who sits and sings is Niu Laoer, do you say that a person who has jumped off a cliff for several days can get up and sing mountain songs?

The village chief's tone became deeper and lower, and he sat in the courtyard in the evening to talk about fasting, which made my heart furious.

I made a guess, "Then maybe Niu Er's second child is not dead, right?" ”

The village chief said, you haven't been to the cliff of the Troubled Wind Slope, there is a kind of you try to climb the top of the cliff to see if you can fall to death!

I wasn't very happy when I heard this, "Village Chief, you came to me in the middle of the night, probably just to tell a story?" ”

The village chief shook his head and said, "What are you doing, don't you know the purpose of my coming here?" ”

As soon as we heard this, Ge Zhuang and I shook our heads vigorously, so frightened that we didn't even dare to take the cigarette.

When Lao Luo left, he forced me to swear a poisonous oath, the Troubled Wind Slope is not a good place, and the corpses can only be fished out in the backwater bay.

Although I don't quite understand why, but taboos are taboos, Lao Luo said that there is a nose and eyes, and I don't want to touch the moldy head.

Aunt Niu cried as soon as she said "wow", the woman Taoist family had no opinion, and she only knew how to kowtow when she encountered something, "The old cow died unjustly, I can't let his corpse sink to the bottom of the river, you are also from Niuzigou, help, I will make you a cow and a horse!" ”

"Don't Aunt Niu, I can't stand you at such an age!"

I was so frightened that I said "ouch", and quickly helped her up, "It's not that we don't want to, the wind and water are too mixed, not to mention the corpse, whether we can go in and get out is two different things!" ”

Aunt Niu just refused to get up, kowtowed to us, and saw blood on her forehead.

The village chief pulled Aunt Niu to stand up, and his tone was stiff, as if he deliberately said to me, "Look, I can't say it, you have to say that you want to try, who has the courage to go to the troubled wind slope to fish for corpses?" Let's go back. ”

Ge Zhuang was not happy with his temper, and pursed his thick lips and snorted, "Village Chief, what do you mean by this?" Look down on people! ”

The village chief pointed at me, "Didn't you just say that you can't enter the Troubled Wind Slope by yourself." ”

Ge Zhuang rolled his eyes, lifted his pants and said, "It's not that you can't enter, you can go in, but this trip is very dangerous, what is the price......?"

The village chief glared at him, "The money for the corpse this time, the village will pay for her family, five thousand, what do you think?" ”

I was taken aback by the arrogance of the village chief.

Five thousand!

In 96 years, Hong Kong Island did not return, but there is no inflation, what is the concept of 5,000 yuan? It doesn't take so much to build a house.

Ge Zhuang and I didn't say a word, the price was a little frighteningly high, so that I couldn't make up my mind for the time being, who was ready to refuse.

Ge Zhuang couldn't hide something in his heart, and immediately smiled and said, "Village chief, the corpses are only two or three hundred at most, why are you so generous?" ”

The village elder's face was wrinkled, and the bitterness became a nest of melons,

"I won't hide it from the two of you, Niu Lao Er has not had a good time since he jumped off the cliff, first Widow Chen, and then to Lao Zhang's house, everyone who went into the mountain to mow the grass saw someone riding on the top of the cliff on the chaotic wind slope and singing, peeing in the middle of the night, you can hear someone accompaniment, who do you say is not afraid?"

The old people are superstitious, and the village chief said, "The village is now full of rumors, and the people in the village are rumoring that Niu Lao Er is unwilling to be willing after his death, and they all say that the water ghost haunts people, and he has to drag the dead ghost into the water before he can be reincarnated." ”

There are more drowned ghosts in the back mountain, and no one can sleep soundly.

The whole village forced the village chief to find a way, so he had to fish out the corpse and go ashore, and then ask a magic master to do things to eliminate the disaster and solve the problem for Niuzigou.

When Ge Zhuang heard that there was money to be made, he became smiling again, and said with a big fat face Village Chief, we ...... this matter

I pinched his big fat buttocks, "Village Chief, we still have to sum up this matter, you go home and wait for the letter, and I will give you an answer tomorrow morning." ”

Sending away the village chief and Aunt Niu, Ge Zhuang closed the door and yelled at me,

"I said little pumpkin, five thousand oceans, enough for us to fish out how many corpses, why don't you agree?"

I said you know a ghost, what kind of place is the Troubled Wind Slope, I know better than anyone else, when my grandfather led the whole village to open the mountain, he folded on top of it, don't think I don't know what you think in your heart, no way!

Ge Zhuang came up with a big fat face, "Little pumpkin, our brothers are guarding the poor mountain pass, there is no last meal, and there is no clear soup and little water, my aunt wrote two days ago, saying that I have a daughter-in-law, and you still don't let me earn enough for my wife?" ”

Ge Zhuang is about the same age as me, it is said that his grades were not bad when he was studying, and he should have a good future, but this kid has been admitted to the secondary school since he was admitted to the secondary school, and he has all his thoughts on other places, and he accompanied his female classmates to drill the bud rice field in the middle of the night.

Ge Zhuang remembered the scene very clearly, because the security guard said a classic sentence of thieves:

Whoever is that, pull it out quickly!

Early love was not a trivial matter in those years, Ge Zhuang was almost convicted of "hooliganism", the school withdrew him from school, made his father half angry, used a belt to draw him blood, and arranged for him to go to the mine.

The mine was hard, Ge Zhuang couldn't stand it, he stayed up for half a year, the white fat man was tanned into a black fat man, with the help of his mother to find someone to intercede, went to the steel mill and the boiler factory, and finally didn't stick to it, and finally dragged a lot of relationships before he was assigned here, and accompanied me to guard the sharp knife gorge to fish for the corpse.

The establishment of the county is not easy to mix, don't look at the bad luck of the corpse salvage, the size is a contract worker, as long as there is no mistake, it is not a problem to hold the iron rice bowl until it is old. And every time the corpse is retrieved, there are subsidies and red envelopes to get, and the soup is not small.

When this dead fat man first came, he was as black as a briquette, and he ate and waited for death in my place for more than half a year, and then came back white.

"Tell me, buddy is going on a blind date this time, it's up to you whether you can have a result." He looked at me with blank eyes.

I said go home and beg your father, he is an old cadre who retired from the Vietnam battlefield, can you fight a bachelor?

Ge Zhuang almost pouted his mouth on the roof,

"Come on, the old man's methods of dealing with me are more powerful than dealing with class enemies, I won't go back even if I am killed, just beg you, buddy, you can't see me beat a bachelor!"

I couldn't help Ge Zhuang's repeated requests, but in the end, I was ruthless and gritted my teeth to break the taboo!
