The river that runs through our entire Luoshen Township is called Luoshui River, which is a tributary of the Yellow River. Because there are twelve ghost caves in Sanlitun, that is, there are twelve holes on the mountain where the Luoshui River flows through Sanlitun, according to legend, it is the time when Dayu ruled the water in order to drain the flood, the twelve ghost caves used to be called Luoshui Twelve Eyes, the saying of the twelve ghost caves, that is, in recent years.

The reason for this name is that as long as the person who enters this hole, no one can come out, and it is called a ghost cave only if he does not enter or leave. Listen to the old people said that the twelve ghost caves were not like this before, the boat can have its own passage on weekdays, there were merchant ships passing through here before, but there was a big battle in the upper reaches of the Anti-Japanese War, that battle was very tragic and killed a lot of people, the Japanese devils threw the corpses into the river in order to destroy the corpses, countless corpses flowed through the river into the ghost caves, I don't know why the corpses did not flow out of the other end of the ghost caves, but stuck in the twelve holes, since then the twelve holes near the strange things have continued, Many people said that they had seen many ghosts inside, and later those who entered the twelve holes could only enter and not get out, and slowly there was a saying that the ghost caves were born.

Because it is close to the Luoshui River, the Luoshui River is the lower reaches of the Yellow River, so there are often people who fall into the water upstream and float to us, Sanlitun does have a few professional corpse fishers, but they are still fishing in Luoshui on weekdays, after all, the security has been done in place over the years, and there are fewer and fewer drowning people, so my eldest brother was ridiculed, one is because he fished out the corpse and erected the flag, and the other is that he seems to be a full-time corpse fisher, and he doesn't do anything else, isn't this waiting to starve to death?

But soon, my eldest brother unfurled a second flag, which read: "Twelve corpses of ghost caves can be fished out." ”

This time, it exploded on our side.

The twelve ghost caves are a taboo for everyone.

For decades, no one can come out of it alive, because Luoshui is downstream, so there were also drowned corpses flowing into the twelve ghost caves before, but no one dared to go in to fish for the corpse, there was once a big man in our city The son of the brother came to swim with his girlfriend, unfortunately drowned, the corpse flowed into the twelve ghost caves, no matter how high the money was, the corpse did not dare to enter the ghost cave, and then the big man found a diver to come over, but he didn't come out after three divers went in, and he could only give up.

In such a twelve-way ghost cave, someone dares to say that they have entered it?

Everyone in the village thinks that my eldest brother is a second goods, or just a guy who is not ashamed of his words, since he played the second flag, everyone looks at me strangely, I will talk to him, if nothing else, how dangerous it is to enter the twelve ghost caves, I know.

I feel that the eldest brother will say this because he may have been a corpse digger in the past, with good skills and water, and he is also a materialist, so he thinks that his ability can definitely enter and exit these twelve ghost caves, and I have to talk to him about how terrible these twelve ghost caves are. Who knew that before I could say it, he waved his hand and said, "I know everything, I said that I can go in, that is, I can go in." ”

"The question is."

Before I could finish speaking, he interrupted me and said, "It's going to be fine. ”

I didn't say anything more, it's still the same sentence, one is not familiar, and the other is that it will be difficult to communicate with his character, I came back from him, just came home, and my mother, who also knew the news, cried and said to me: "Yezi, you go and tell your brother, if you enter that ghost cave, you will die!" ”

"I said it, but he didn't listen." I said.

"Then I'll go, this kid doesn't care for himself, but he still resents us in his heart." My mom said.

I hurriedly stopped my mother, because I knew that my mother's going would not have any effect, so I said, "It's late today, I'll go with you tomorrow." ”

Who knew that early the next morning, when I took my mother there, it was already late, and in front of the two-story building where my eldest brother lived, there were many cars parked and a group of people around, but everyone was very quiet.

We squeezed in, just in time to see a crowd of people walking around a pot-bellied middle-aged man walking towards my eldest brother, the same big man who drowned the child in our place a few years ago.

The big man walked up to my eldest brother, stretched out his hand and said, "What do you call my brother?" ”

"Sun Zhongmou." The eldest brother didn't intend to stretch out his hand, but just said softly.

The big man didn't expect my eldest brother to be so faceless, so he retracted his hand and said, "Good name, give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou, not bad." Can you go into the twelve ghost caves and retrieve corpses? ”

My eldest brother said lightly, "Yes." ”

"The people who rushed in a few years ago can also be fished out?" The man asked.

The eldest brother just nodded this time and didn't even say a word.

"There are a lot of bones in it, you can't be mistaken." At this time, a man with glasses next to the big man asked.

The eldest brother glanced at him and said, "The signboard is here, the people are here, are you afraid that I will be wrong?" ”

"How do you talk about you!" The bespectacled man glared.

The eldest brother glanced at him and stopped looking at him. The bespectacled man's face was flushed, and at this time the big man stopped him and said, "Xiao Wang, you go aside." ”

After speaking, he said to his eldest brother: "Since ancient times, how arrogant heroes are, look at your arrogance, brother, I know that you have real skills, I don't hide it, the dog unfortunately drowned three years ago, and was swept into this ghost cave by the current, I also tried my best but couldn't fish it out, I have been sleeping restless all day long in the past few years, the child died is his life, but I can't let him into the ground for peace of mind is ashamed, if Mr. can help me with this, I will be grateful." ”

"One hundred thousand, I want cash." Big brother said.

"Okay, refreshed!" The big man beckoned, and the bespectacled man handed over a bag, and he took out a large pile of cash from it and handed it to my eldest brother, and then said: "Money is not a problem, but Xiao Wang also said just now, there are countless corpses in the ghost cave, if you make a mistake, I Tang someone is not easy to talk to." ”

The eldest brother beckoned to me, and I walked over with an embarrassed face, and he handed me the money and said, "Take it first." ”

After saying that, he said to the big man, "I need something." ”

"What more?" The big guy said.

The eldest brother took out a needle and said to the big man, "I need your blood." ”

As soon as he said this, the people brought by the big man stopped doing it, and the big man deserved to be a big man, he waved his hand to stop those people he brought, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Take it if you need it." ”

The eldest brother gently punctured the big man's middle finger with me, squeezed out a drop of blood and dipped it on his middle finger, then reached into his mouth and tasted it, nodded and said, "Wait for me." ”

After that, the eldest brother entered his two-story building, and after a while, he walked out bare-chested carrying a raft, the muscles on the eldest brother's body were very fine, and his figure was almost perfect.

"Don't go, kid!" At this time, my mother cried.

"It's fine." The eldest brother spoke.

Where can my mother rest assured, she is going to stop my eldest brother, and the people around the big man stopped my mother at once, pulled my mother's clothes, and prevented my eldest brother from stopping them, almost tearing my mother's clothes.

The eldest brother who was carrying the raft put down the raft and glared at the man who was pulling my mother's clothes: "Let go!" ”

The tone of his voice was unmistakable.

The boys looked at my eldest brother, and then at the big man.

"I'll let you go!" The eldest brother walked over, I barely understood how he moved, his right hand was stuck in the neck of the person who was pulling my mother's clothes, the person's face was instantly red, and the strength of the eldest brother's hand almost broke his neck.

When the other horses of the big man saw this, they were about to swarm up, and the big man shouted at this time: "Get out of here, let go of that sister-in-law!" ”

Then he said to my eldest brother, "Brother, don't be like them, I'm sorry!" ”

The eldest brother ignored him, and at this time the eldest brother said to my mother who was crying, "It's okay, believe me." ”

After saying that, he took the raft and went to the river with a large group of us, and he got on the raft alone, holding a bamboo pole.

On the water, a raft and a man are very small.

He just carried the raft and went into the twelve ghost caves.

After the figure of the eldest brother disappeared into the twelve ghost caves, many people held their breath, and many people were sighing, they were whispering: "This person is gone, he must die inside, who can come out?" ”

When I heard them say this, my worry turned to anger, and I glared back at them and said, "Fart, if my big brother can come out, I'll slap you in the face?" ”

Those people didn't continue to raise the bar with me, but they didn't care about it, but it was written all over their faces.

The eldest brother went in for half an hour and didn't come out, at this time, there were more and more people who said that he would definitely die, and even the big man came over and said: "That person is the eldest brother, little brother, don't worry, I won't come back for 100,000, so I should buy a life." ”

After that, he was going to take the people away.

"Wait!" I don't know where I got the courage to say to him.

He looked back at me and said, "Huh? ”

"My brother will definitely be able to come out, you wait, even if you can't come out, I don't want you this 100,000, the family is poor, but this money is not rare." I put the money on the ground and said.

The big man glanced at me, but he didn't speak, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, for the sake of your brother's feelings, I'll give you this face." ”

One hour later, a raft was gently rowed out of the twelve ghost caves, and on the raft stood a man with smooth muscular lines, and next to him, there was a skeleton.

"It's out, my eldest brother is out, do you see it?!" I had tears in my eyes, I had never been so naïve, as if to show off to those who didn't believe in my big brother.

The big man's face also became solemn, and he looked at my eldest brother until my eldest brother propped up the raft to the side, and immediately someone went to collect the bones.

The eldest brother got into the case and said to the big man: "You can go back and do an appraisal." ”

The big man hooked my eldest brother's shoulder and said, "No need, when I see that ring, I will be my child, brother, thank you, you friend, I Tang Renjie made it!" Xiao Wang, bring me the bag! ”

That little Wang didn't dare to look at my eldest brother now, he handed over the bag, and the big man took out a wad of money from the bag, and then put the money back in the bag, stuffed the bag into my eldest brother and said, "Brother, you take this money!" ”

Although I am not a person who regards money as my life, I am also a little excited to see that bag of money, after all, I have never seen so much money in my life, and so are the people present, and I even heard the sound of many people swallowing saliva.

Who knew that my eldest brother pushed the bag back and said, "I will scoop up the corpse, 100,000 at a time, and I won't take a penny more." ”
