The Yellow River, a river that has been running for thousands of years, gave birth to a brilliant and splendid Chinese civilization.

It is precisely because of this that we Chinese call ourselves sons and daughters of the Yellow River.

However, since ancient times, the Yellow River has been flooded one after another, bringing many disasters to the people along the river.

Especially when natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, the people along the Yellow River are even more miserable.

For example, decades ago, in order to prevent the Japanese from invading Zhengzhou, Jiang ordered the Huayuankou Dam to be blown up, and for a time the Yellow River flowed backwards, and hundreds of thousands of people became floating corpses in the water......

As a history student, every time I see this history, my heart is very heavy.

And this time, Qin Chuchu forced me to do the next task, which was related to the corpses floating in the Yellow River.

A person's life cannot always be smooth sailing, especially in modern society, people are under great pressure in all aspects, and some people are easy to make wrong choices when they encounter difficulties and setbacks.

Every year, there will be many people, perhaps because of emotional failure, perhaps because of setbacks at work, or because of many other reasons, in the face of the Yellow River, which is flowing from west to east, jumping into it, and ending their lives......

According to tradition, if a person's body floats in the water after death, its soul will never be able to survive forever, and it will become a ghost in the water.

It is precisely because of this that although the dead are gone, the living are not willing to let their relatives not be able to live forever, even if they try everything to get the corpse up.

In ancient times, people were relatively simple, and when they saw a corpse floating down the Yellow River, those boatmen would take the initiative to pick up the corpse, but in modern society, money is paramount, since someone wants to fish up the corpse at all costs, some people rely on this to make money.

On both sides of the Yellow River, there are quite a few boatmen who have made their fortunes by salvaging corpses.

Under normal circumstances, when the bodies of those who committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river float to the surface, the upper limbs first float up, and then the lower limbs.

To put it bluntly, those corpses floating on the Yellow River are men leaning over and women leaning back.

Those boatmen who salvage corpses as a business first determine whether the deceased was male or female by whether the body was leaning over or leaning back? Once the gender is determined, a rope is thrown out of the boat and the body is tied to the boat, but the body is not dragged out of the water.

Once someone comes up, after determining the sex of the deceased, a price will be negotiated between the two parties.

The person who came to the boat had to pay a deposit of about 10 percent in advance, and the boatman would pull the body of the deceased out of the water.

If the person who came to the water at this time could be sure that the deceased in the water was his relative, then he had to pay the rest of the money to the boatman first, and the boatman would drag the body in the water up to the deceased's family.

But if the deceased in the water is not a relative of the person who came to find it, the 10% deposit will not be returned to the person who found it.

The body of the deceased will be thrown into the water again by the boatman until the family of the deceased can find it.

Sometimes it dragged on for too long and no one found it, and the body was already badly decomposed, so the boatman would untie the rope and let the body drift down the Yellow River......

More than three months ago, a boatman on the banks of the Yellow River, who made money by salvaging corpses, found a body floating on its back in the water.

For the boatman, finding a corpse is equivalent to an opportunity to make money, so the boatman was a little excited to lassothe the corpse in the water with a rope and drove the boat to drag the corpse to the shore.

There weren't many people on the banks of the Yellow River who made money by salvaging corpses, and not long after the boatman dragged the bodies to the shore, the family of the deceased found him.

The deceased was a college student who jumped into the Yellow River because he had suffered a little emotional setback.

The daughter who had worked so hard to raise turned into a floating corpse in the water, and the parents of the deceased were already in pain, but at this time, the boatman offered them a sky-high price that they could not afford at all.

And the boatman made it very clear that if they didn't give enough money, then he would untie the rope that tied the corpse, and let their daughter become a ghost in the water, and she would not be able to reincarnate for eternity.

Unable to come up with so much money, the parents of the deceased knelt in front of the boat family and begged bitterly, but the boat family was indifferent.

In the end, the parents of the deceased looked for people to borrow money everywhere, and even mortgaged the family house to scrape together enough money for the boatman.

After getting the deposit given by the deceased's parents, the boatman used a rope to pull the deceased's body out of the water, and at this time, the deceased's parents and the boatman were on the boat.

And just as the boatman dragged the deceased's body out of the water with a rope, the dead body, which had been lying on her back, suddenly changed from lying on her back to standing in the water, and her face was exposed from the water.

That face was hideous, her lips turned out, and the most terrifying thing was that her eyes were open!

The corpse stood straight in the water, staring at the boatman who was pulling her corpse with a rope with her eerie and terrifying eyes.

The parents of the deceased, when they saw that their daughter had become like this, called their daughter's name and cried heartbreakingly, and the boatman who salvaged the body was terrified, and dared to drag the body up, and even threw the rope into the water.

And after the boatman threw the rope into the water, the body of the deceased took one look at her parents, and then kept walking, following the direction of the river, as if walking slowly, from west to east......

A few days later, the boatman who had recovered the body fell ill and died, and word spread in the area.

But because only the boatman and the deceased's parents saw this at the time, not many people believed what they said.

But about half a month later, another boatman who salvaged the body encountered the same thing.

This time it was a male corpse that floated down from the river, and when the boatman dragged the male corpse, the male corpse also opened his eyes and stood in the water......

In the past three months, five or six such incidents have occurred along the Yellow River, and five or six boatmen who salvaged the bodies have inexplicably fallen ill and died after encountering such incidents.

The same situation happened to five or six corpses, and five or six boatmen who salvaged the corpses died because of this, which caused a great repercussion in the local area, and the people have already spread it, and the official was forced to find the Tiandaomen and let the Tiandaomen send someone to find out what was going on?

Qin Chuchu forced me to take over the case, and like the last time, she wanted to follow me to Lanzhou, and she had even bought a train ticket to Lanzhou.

It only takes one night to take a train from Xi'an to Lanzhou, which departs in the evening and arrives in Lanzhou the next morning.

On the way to Lanzhou, although Qin Chuchu and I sat in the same sleeper compartment, the two of us didn't even say a word, like strangers.

I looked at Qin Chuchu opposite, and I kept thinking about a question in my mind.

If I die in the hands of the Qin family, I will definitely be able to calculate it with my grandfather's means, so no one in the Qin family will dare to attack me directly.

But if something happens to me while I am doing the task, I am afraid that even my grandfather will not be able to ask the Qin family Xingshi for his guilt.

Maybe it was with this in mind that the Qin family would use this way of doing tasks to trick me, and even wanted my life,

But every time I do a task, why does this woman Qin Chuchu always have to follow me?

Is it possible?

A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body, and I only felt a numbness in my scalp and a chill in my back.

If it's the same as I thought, then this woman Qin Chuchu is a little too ruthless!
