Chapter 163: Strange Things in the River of Corpses
We found a small hotel in the town, and I sneaked out while Zhang Jun was resting, and because it was not far from the corpse forest, I went straight around the town.
It was discovered that the town was not very large and was separated from the corpse forest by a river, and that the river from last night was supposed to be another branch of the river here.
The lake is quiet, a touch of sunshine sprinkles on the lake, and the lake is golden, at this time, an old man wearing a hat on his head, holding a long bamboo pole in both hands, smashing left and right, holding a small bamboo row, swishing to the shore.
I bowed to him and shouted at the top of my voice, "Uncle, are you catching fish?" ”
The old man also saw me, and also raised his voice and replied: "No, catch crabs." ”
"Caught a lot, didn't you?" I pretended to be a tourist and dressed up as if nothing had happened.
"Haha, not much." The old man said as he picked up a small half bag on the boat for me to see.
When the old man docked, I hurriedly ran over, and my eyes couldn't stop sweeping his boat, and said, "Uncle, your crabs are all fresh, do you sell them?" ”
"Yes, how much do you want fresh?" The old man asked.
I opened the plastic bags on his boat and found that his crabs were the size of a palm, and the two powerful brown pincers were still rattling.
"Yo, it's pretty powerful, you belong to a freshwater crab, right?" As I spoke, I reached out and pinched one out of it, and the crab was very strong and struggled to break free in my hand.
"Haha, they are all good crabs wild, green, pollution-free, delicious and nutritious." The old man is afraid that I don't want to boast about his bang crab.
"If you want it, I want it all." I looked at a total of a dozen of them, so I stopped them.
"Originally, it was ten yuan a piece, but now you have to charge you 150, and the rest should be given to you." The old man said with a grinning mouth.
"That's Cheng, sir, I just saw you come from the corpse forest just now." Saying that, I paid for him.
"Oh yes, the crabs are big over there, so I can collect a lot of them every day when I lay a net there."
Later, I took out 200 old men and asked me for 50, and then gave me a bag and said, "Give it all to you." ”
I thanked him and asked him about the river, and the old man said that he was a fisherman on the river, and no one usually wanted to come here, so no one had ever been here except him.
I don't think the old man is lying and walks back with the bag, thinking about turning around and sleeping well, finding a cook to cook us crab meat to eat in the afternoon, and then work well in the evening.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Jun was still asleep, so I put the crab in the basin along with the bag, and lay on the bed to rest with my eyes closed.
Now I'm really sleepy, although I don't rest, but my ordinary people's habits can't be corrected, and after a while, I entered the dream.
During this period, I dreamed that the old man who sold my crabs was a river demon, and chased me with a bamboo pole and said that I had stolen his crabs.
Later, I don't know how long I slept before I felt an itchy nose, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Satsuki spinning on my nose with the hairy grass that I hadn't thrown away yesterday, and I was having fun!
I saw that Zhang Jun was still sleeping, and I was afraid of waking him up, so I whispered, "Why did you wake up so soon?" Still won't let me sleep? ”
"I'm hungry!" Xiaoyue said softly, like a kindergarten child.
But I like her like this, no matter how I say it, it's better than looking at me with a straight face, I rolled up my sleeves and said to my heart: "Give, drink!" Don't disturb my rest. ”
Xiao Yue stretched out her soft tongue and licked her lips, and with a pop, four sharp and long fangs burst out, I was afraid that Zhang Jun would see it, so I simply picked up Xiao Yue and lay on her side to block her current appearance.
I don't know why she keeps drinking my blood now, and I can't help but worry about it! You said that she has to drink all the time, if I don't supplement some nutrition, will I face the tragedy of being drunk by her one day!
Thinking of this, I glanced back at the plastic bag in the basin and felt that it was really time to buy it, and it was time to make up for it!
After Xiaoyue was full, I cut off her little nose and said, "Wait for me, I'll make you a big crab to eat." ”
"Good!"
Xiao Yue replied instinctively, maybe she should have answered this way in her impression.
"Okay, what's good, come and kiss it, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat." As I spoke, I tilted my face and pointed with my finger.
Satsuki's eyes flickered, and she opened her pink mouth and licked my face lightly with her tongue, as if she was tasting a delicious piece of pork head meat.
But I didn't care about this, I was just to tease her, and I was already satisfied with this, and said, "Forget it, don't worry about you, you are here and wait for me, I will come." ”
I went downstairs with my wet bag and found the innkeeper and said, "I want you to help me bring the crabs, okay?" I can pay my wages. ”
The boss, a fat man in his thirties, wearing nearsighted glasses, looked at me curiously and asked, "Crabs?" What crabs? ”
Saying that, the boss opened the bag and looked at it, his face turned green with fright, and he hurriedly squeezed his pocket, and asked nervously: "You caught this crab in the corpse river?" ”
Only then did I realize that the river still had such a popular name, and nodded and admitted: "That's right, but I bought it from an old fisherman, and he said that he usually sells one for ten yuan!" ”
"Huh?"
The boss was amazed, hurriedly closed the door of the store and said, "Little brother, you don't know that you are in trouble!" ”
I was a little confused, and asked inexplicably: "Impossible, I hit the evil!" You can't be mistaken, right? Will I hit the evil spirit? ”
The shopkeeper said that he said that the river was originally called the Jinsha River, but because it was close to the corpse forest, the locals called it the corpse river, so the locals did not eat the aquatic creatures in it at all, saying that it was a bad luck that grew up drinking corpse water, not to mention that it was not clean.
Therefore, there are a lot of big fish in it, and some people say that there are ghost fish with a pair of blood-red eyes and sharp teeth, and once a sheep unfortunately drowned and turned into a white bone overnight.
And the old fisherman is even more simple, he is Shang Yuqing's younger brother Shang Yulin, who has been dead for decades, when he was young, he had a good water personality and loved to swim in that river, but later he became stupid and stupid.
Some people even say that someone can still see him catching fish in the river after Shang Yu died, so the people in the village are very taboo about their Shang family, saying that their family was punished by heaven and the underworld was not collected to leave the world in chaos.
The shopkeeper was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, so he pointed to the door and said, "Little brother, I don't lie to you, if you don't believe it, go to the village and ask the Shang family's ghost house if anyone doesn't know." ”
"The Shang family is a haunted house?"
I also felt a chill in my back when he said this, you said that if it was really a person who had been dead for more than ten years, I didn't even notice it as a Taoist priest, isn't this thing scary enough?
Now I'm suddenly a little worried about Director Zhang, and I pray that they don't fall into the river and be eaten by some ghost fish!
