I still know the female corpse, her name is Liu Ying, and she is the daughter of our old village chief.

She was very beautiful when she was alive, and she was a famous beauty in ten miles and eight villages.

It's just that I don't know where a guy from out of town took her away, and this trip has been going for more than a year.

When he came back, he had a big belly, and he didn't see the man, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river at the ancient ferry that night.

At that time, I didn't live in Sanchawanzi, I followed my father and mother to the county seat, just in time for the end of the college entrance examination, and I had nothing to do for two months, so I went back to my hometown to find my grandfather and wanted to accompany him more before leaving.

Liu Ying's death caused quite a stir in our country.

The old and young masters in the village all ran to the river to look, and when they saw the corpses floating in the river, they all showed a look of embarrassment on their faces, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

The old village chief knelt by the river and cried heartbreakingly, he was an old man, and he had always offered Liu Ying like a baby egg, how many people came with a bride price to propose marriage and did not marry, saying that they would rather raise a girl for a lifetime, and they had to find a wishful husband for her.

But in the end, it ended up like this.

When I cried until the end, I found my grandfather and begged him to fish up Yingzi's body.

After the reform and opening up, the country vigorously developed infrastructure construction, the majestic Yellow River bridge across the moat, no one has long been able to cross the river by boat, many Yellow River ferries are deserted, and the old boatmen have changed careers and provided for the elderly.

When Grandpa chose the corpse salvage industry, he was unanimously opposed by his family.

At that time, my father and mother had a stable income in the county, and it was not a problem to feed the family, so it was said that my grandfather would either be idle in the countryside or go to the county seat to be idle.

But grandpa's character has always been stubborn, and he can't listen to anyone's words, and after breaking two cigarette sticks, the matter is settled.

From then on, the grandfather no longer crossed people, but crossed corpses.

According to Grandpa's words, the deceased should be respected more by people, and what he is doing now is far more meaningful than before.

But my grandfather is now old, and he has stopped doing this business for some years, and I don't know if he will agree to the old village chief's tearful plea.

Grandpa frowned, smoked with a cigarette pouch in his mouth, and after a long while, he slowly spoke: "The girl of the Kai family has her belly down, and she has become a water brake, and she can't be fished." ”

I've heard this statement from my grandfather before, and I've read it in the book that pads the table legs.

When a person dies, he sinks to the bottom of the water, and as the corpse decays, his body gradually becomes flatulent, and these corpse qi turns the person into a big-headed ghost with a hideous face and turned lips turned out.

At this time, with more and more corpse gas, the corpse will gradually surface on the surface, because the pelvis of women and men are different, so the floating corpse also has a characteristic, called "male and female prostrate", which refers to these dead people floating on the water, leaning over is a man, and leaning on is a woman.

But once it is reversed, it proves that the body was wanted by the King of the Yellow River, and no one can take it away.

Especially this kind of corpse that is pregnant and dies with resentment, it seems to be the most powerful twins.

The old village chief knelt down with a puff, tugged on his grandfather's trouser leg and said, "Old white ghost, we have known each other for a lifetime, and we can't watch my nephew's daughter soak in the water like this!" ”

Grandpa sighed: "It's not that I'm ruthless, it's that this water is very bad, if you pick her up and anger the king of the Yellow River, our village will suffer, and it's not that I don't know about the affairs of Liujia Village!" ”

When Grandpa mentioned Liujia Village, I noticed that the faces of everyone present changed.

Liujia Village, I know, not far from us, also next to the Yellow River, but a deserted village, no one, I heard that the village was relocated in the early years when the flood was discharged, but looking at everyone's appearance, things in this should not be so simple.

But no matter what Grandpa said, the old village chief dragged Grandpa's trouser leg alive and didn't let go, and in the end, Grandpa directly hit the old village with a cigarette stick, and then pulled me back to the house.

Sitting in the house, grandpa kept smoking a cigarette pouch and sighed, I sat opposite him and looked at him quietly, and after a long time he said to me: "Second baby, do you think grandpa is ruthless?" ”

I don't know how to answer, although all the years of school education I received are atheistic, but I still have respect for these things that cannot be seen or touched, but if it is said that a village is killed because of the salvage of a corpse, I am still somewhat unacceptable.

"It's not that grandpa is ruthless, Yingzi's baby was also grown up by me, but there are some things that I can't believe it, if Yingzi's body is fished up, our Sanchawan will become the next Liujia Village!"

As soon as I heard it, I became interested and asked what was going on in Liujiacun, didn't I say that it had been relocated before?

Grandpa put the cigarette holder in his mouth for a while, as if he was recalling something, and was about to speak, when he heard the door "bang", and the big Zhuang in the village rushed in and panted and said: "Grandpa Bai, the old village chief went down to the river to fish for the corpse by himself!" ”

Grandpa's eyebrows were about to stand up when he heard this, and he scolded the turtle grandson and ran out with his shoes, and when he left, he didn't forget to explain: "Second baby, don't go out, watch the door at home!" ”

I groaned reluctantly, and sat down at the door, and soon saw a large crowd of people rushing towards my yard, and in the middle were my grandfather and the old village chief, both of whom were already soaking wet.

"What's wrong with Grandpa?"

Seeing this, I hurriedly brought my grandfather in and went to find dry towels and clothes, but as soon as I turned around, I heard my grandfather scolding at the top of his voice: "Get out of here, if you want to die, you will die yourself, don't drag the old and young in the village to bury you!" ”

When I turned around, I found that I was actually scolding the old village chief.

The old village chief was wet and pale, and the old man knelt at the door with tears on his face.

"Grandpa......"

I saw that the old village chief was really unbearable, and I couldn't stand it, and I was about to persuade a few words, when I saw my grandfather pointing to the door and saying, "If you dare to plead, let me get out!" ”

From what I know about my grandfather, it seems that there is no room for maneuver when things are like this.

The old village chief did not leave until he was about to go to bed at night.

In one day, the old village chief's hair changed from gray temples to full silver.

Before going to bed, I watched my grandfather stand alone at the window looking out the door, moving his mouth to say something, but eventually gave up.

The old village chief didn't know when he left.

The next morning, I squatted at the door to brush my teeth, and saw the people in the village running in one direction like crazy.

The kid was so excited that he dragged two tubes of big snot and told me for a long time, but I didn't understand.

The child's father ran over and said, "What are you still doing here, Yingzi is working!" ”

I was definitely the last to hear the news, and when I arrived at the old village chief's house, it was already full of three floors inside and three floors outside.

The old village chief stood at the door and explained to everyone over and over again how Yingzi came back from the dead.

It turned out that Yingzi was not dead from beginning to end, and he was deceived emotionally outside before, and he saw his father and fellow villagers again with a big belly and no face, and he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river at the ferry without thinking about it for a while.

But who would have thought that when she jumped into the river, she happened to be blocked by a ball of aquatic grass, causing her breath not to come up, and she faked her death.

As soon as this person faked his death, his facial features would be instinctively closed, and the water couldn't come in, so he kept soaking in the river, and then in the middle of the night, the old village chief went to fish for the corpse again, and dragged Yingzi's neck to the shore in the water.

When the old village chief was explaining, Yingzi kept standing behind him, changed into clean clothes, had a big belly, and looked at the big guy with a smile, exactly like a living person.

In the end, the old village chief really said that there was smoke in his mouth, so he blew everyone up, and when I left, I saw my grandfather standing at the outermost part of the crowd, with a pale face.

I was afraid that he was far away and didn't listen, and I was about to repeat it to him again, but I saw my grandfather wave his hand and go straight home.

When I came to the house, I saw that my grandfather's face was very ugly, and I thought that he was annoyed because he almost missed the opportunity to resurrect Yingzi, so I comforted him and said: "Grandpa is fine, everyone is alive, don't think so much, it's a good thing anyway!" ”

"Alive?"

Grandpa raised his eyebrows and said, "When did you see that there are aquatic plants in the Yellow River here with us?" ”

I was shocked, my grandfather was right, when I was a child, on both sides of the Yellow River, aquatic plants could be seen everywhere, but with the increase of the sand mining fleet in recent years, those buried in the sand, the silt that can grow with water and grass has long been hollowed out, and now on both sides of the river, except for the yellow mud is loess, there is no green at all.

What is the matter with the water plants that the old village chief said, is he lying?

"But Sister Yingzi obviously ......"

I made a gesture with my hand, and I wanted to say that people are obviously alive, but when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't go on.

Grandpa sighed, looked out the window with cloudy eyes, and said for a long time: "I suspect that it is not Yingzi at all." ”

"Who else could it be if it wasn't Yingzi?" I was surprised.

"It's the Yellow River Niangniang!"
