A cold wind blew on the river, and the blood toad in my arms still let out a hoarse roar from time to time, and the sound was like the cry of a night owl in this late autumn night, and the people on the shore also noticed this strange sound and looked at me.

But only Lian Mingche knew how powerful it was, so he lowered his voice and said to me, "What should I do?" Do you want to call some more people to help? ”

My palms were full of sweat, and after thinking for a while, I said: "Don't call people first, this is the first time I've encountered this situation, if something really goes wrong, it's useless to have many people come." ”

This is not alarmist, things in the water are not as good as those on the shore, and people who don't know how to do it will also add to the chaos if they go down, and they will have to go up a few more river drifters.

"Look! How did this water change color! ”

As he was talking, a small policeman in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly, and Lian Mingche and I hurriedly ran over, only to see that the river that had been silent before was like a pot of boiling water in an instant, and what was even more terrifying was that the original blue river surface had turned blood red at some point!

This sudden change made me stupid, and before I could react, countless whirlpools appeared on the surface of the blood-colored river, and when I looked at it suddenly, it was like a blood pool hell in the eighteen-story hell.

Looking at the terrifying scene in front of me, I was scared and anxious, afraid that I didn't know what would happen in the next second, and what I was anxious about was that Tan Yong's kid might be more than lucky now.

We shouted frantically by the river, until our voices were hoarse, but apart from the sound of boiling water, we could not hear Tan Yong's response at all.

In the end, I don't know who turned out two night vision binoculars from the police car, Lian Mingche and I hurriedly grabbed them and searched on the water for a long time before finally finding Tan Yong's figure.

I was thinking about how to get people out of the water, when Lian Mingche suddenly said next to me: "Sanmo, it seems a little wrong..."

As soon as the words fell, Tan Yong, who was still in our sight just now, disappeared into the water in the blink of an eye, and what was even more strange was that there was a large black thing drilling up from the bottom of the river where the female corpse was located, and soon the female corpse was wrapped like a cocoon.

At this moment, the water splashed not far from the female corpse, and a black image appeared from the bottom of the water like a flying fish, it was Tan Yong.

He grabbed the black cocoon and swam to the shore with all his might, but the speed was very slow because of the whirlpool.

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, I didn't expect that this kid's water nature really didn't blow out, he really had two brushes.

Lian Mingche ordered everyone to quickly throw down the lifeline, I stopped him, took out an old red and black hemp rope from his bag, handed it to him, and said, "Use this, safety point." ”

"What is this?"

I explained to him while untying the rope: "This is called the Qiankun lock, what my grandfather left behind, it is made of hemp rope soaked in black dog blood and the menstrual blood of virgins, it is said that it can change yin and yang, and the old water ghosts in the past relied on it to save their lives, but I have not used it." ”

By the time we tied the rope, Tan Yong had already swam over, and before he could climb up the rope by dragging the cocoon of the female corpse, the whole person suddenly fell into the water in a very strange posture, and then saw him struggling in the water, as if something was catching him below.

"Company, what should I do?" The little policemen also panicked when they saw this.

Lian Mingche waved his hand: "Hurry up and go down to save people!" ”

I just wanted to stop them, but before the words could be spoken, those little policemen had already jumped into the blood-stained river one after another, and at this moment, I was surprised to find that these people almost all swirled in the river like fallen leaves after going down, and they couldn't get close to Tan Yonghe and the corpse cocoon, and even a few people began to show signs of sinking into the water.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the strong bloody smell was mixed in the wind and it was disgusting, and there were only two people left on the shore, Lian Mingche and I, I looked at the muddy river and said to myself: "This time I really hit a hard idea." ”

I guess don't talk about me, even those old water ghosts in the family haven't necessarily encountered such a powerful thing.

Seeing this, Lian Mingche took off his shirt and picked up the Qiankun lock and was about to go into the water, so I quickly grabbed him: "You don't want to die?!" ”

Lian Mingche pushed me away and strode straight into the river, he hung one side of the Qiankun lock on his waist, and the other side was rounded in the direction of the crowd and the corpse cocoon.

The little policemen in the water saw the life-saving straw and hurriedly grabbed the rope and swam back, Tan Yong was also dragged up from under the water at this time, and was tied to the rope with the corpse cocoon.

I didn't dare to delay, so I took off my shoes and socks and rushed over, hugged Lian Mingche's waist and pulled it up together, and finally used all my strength to feed, and finally dragged the people and the corpse cocoons back to the shore.

I lay on the ground gasping for breath, even Ming Che was tired enough, he took out two crumpled cigarettes from his pocket, lit them, stuffed them into my mouth, and said, "I almost thought I was going to be honored." ”

The strong cigarette passed through my lungs and choked on me, I sat up and said angrily: "If you mess around next time, even if you become a river drifter, I don't want Lao Tzu to go down to catch you." ”

Lian Mingche smiled and said, "You won't." ”

We rested for a while before recovering our strength, and walked to Tan Yong, this kid was lying on the ground like a muddy beach, I first called him a few times, and when I saw that he didn't respond, I pushed him again, but he still didn't move.

"Didn't you drown?" Lian Mingche said.

I shook my head: "Impossible, this kid has a good water nature, not to mention that he has only been down there for such a while, even if he tosses until tomorrow morning, it is impossible to drown." ”

I turned him over and examined his mouth and nose carefully, and found that it was not blocked by mud and sand, strange, it was not blocked by the valve, could it be that he was injured?

Thinking of this, I took off all of Tan Yong's clothes, it didn't matter if I took them off, and found that Tan Yong's ankle actually had a very clear dark blue handprint.

"Is this, should it be?" Even Minche discovered the location of the handprint.

I knew what he wanted to say, so he said: "It is said that the bottom of this Jiajia Temple is not very peaceful, it seems that there may really be water ghosts, it seems that he may have been dragged down by those dirty things just now, otherwise he would not have broken in the water with his ability." ”

About water ghosts, in fact, it should be called water monkeys, I often heard the older generation of water ghosts when I was a child, saying that people who drowned in the river are resentful, and the ghosts will lodge in a kind of monster covered with scales and like monkeys, this kind of thing can not see the light, can only hide in the dark underwater all day long to endure torture, until you find a stand-in can be reincarnated, and I heard that the brain of this thing can cure epilepsy, so there are still many fishermen in the Republic of China who have tried to salvage it, but in the end they have found nothing.

It is also because of this that those who used to fish for corpses in the water to make a living will be called water ghosts, which means that as long as they enter this industry, they will also become ghosts hiding under the water, so that they will not be caught by water monkeys as stand-ins.

Although I don't know what happened to the mutation on the river just now, but the black green handprints on Tan Yong's body are real, so it seems that those rumors are not all groundless, and the place of Jiajia Temple is really evil.

After tossing for so long, I was almost out of strength, and even Ming Che called an ambulance to pull a few small policemen and the unconscious Tan Yongquan to the hospital, and finally only the two of us and the huge corpse cocoon were left on the shore.

Lian Mingche went over and circled around the corpse cocoon a few times, and said to me, "How to solve this thing?" It's definitely not going to work if you pull it back into the bureau, or I'll get you there first, and I'll call someone to cut it open tomorrow and take out the body. ”

I originally wanted to refute, after all, anyone would be stunned by such an evil thing, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was really no suitable place except me, so I had to helplessly say: "Then let's go back to me first, no matter what we can say, you can bring someone to get it away for me tomorrow morning." ”

Lian Mingche picked up the phone and called a tow truck, and it was not until about two o'clock in the morning that I returned to the office.

The corpse cocoon was parked directly in the small courtyard behind the Ministry of Public Security on the water, I took some pig blood and ink from the house and mixed it together, and then drew it on the corpse cocoon, even Ming Che looked at me for some reason, but I didn't ask much.

In fact, what I painted is called the corpse pattern, which is a secret way to prevent the river drifter from getting a corpse, which is also the old rule of the corpse digger, the river drifter is too resentful, and the pig's blood is the most yang thing, which has the effect of restraining the yin.

Because there were so many things that happened that night, I simply took a shower and climbed up on the marching bed, and under the mental pressure and physical exhaustion, I was already sleepy, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

But maybe because of something in my heart, I slept very unsteadily this night, and then in a trance I heard a knock on the door in the yard, so I got up in a daze and put on my clothes to go out to see what was going on.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when I looked at the watch, we are located here on the outskirts of the city, sparsely populated, and the people around generally go to bed early at night, it is impossible for children to play pranks at this time, but the sound outside is real, and it is very rhythmic to listen carefully.

I tiptoed over and leaned on the burglar window to look out, and suddenly fell to the ground in fright, almost biting my tongue off!

Outside, the body of a long-haired woman hangs from the door beam, drifting in the cool breeze, her feet constantly hitting the door panel, making a thumping sound...
