Chapter 9: The Corpse Walking at the Bottom of the Lake (Ask for Collection and Recommendation)
At night, Zhang Yuan has been guarding the window to observe the movement of the village, the houses under the cover of the night are like ghosts, only to see people go in and no one to come out, and the situation last night is basically the same, even the chief saw that the time is almost the same, and said: "The evil door here is incomparable, those people are estimated to be gone after entering the house, but it is a good time for us to act, the young man will become a benevolent man if he does not succeed, even if no one knows us in the future, but after we are heroic, we still have the face to see the chairman and his old man."

I knew that the company commander was enlightening a few of our recruits and distracting them from their fears. Rao is like this, everyone's face looks enthusiastic, but in fact, there is still a worried look between their eyebrows.
Anyway, it was all death, I endured a headache and slowly opened the wooden door a crack, and after making sure it was safe, I slipped out, and the rest of the people followed out of the house, the village was quiet, even if I knew that there was no one in the house, my heart was not steady, and I moved cautiously against the corner.
Walking out of the path at the entrance of the village, not far from the outside is the silver and glorious lake, to the shore of the crowd in their hearts to exhale a breath of turbidity, the company commander leaned under a poplar tree, took out two grenades from the back of his waist bag, and raised it towards us, "When I came out, the ghost envoy sent the two of them with me, you must know that it has been almost two years since I took them out of the ordnance department, basically a useless opportunity, it seems that it is really destined in the dark." ”
Suddenly, I heard the sound of the lake churning, and I suddenly remembered the round body I saw last night churning in the water, and at first thought, I immediately picked up the iron guy and cautiously glanced at the surface of the lake.
Pang Zhi squinted at me and said disdainfully: "The sound of a little water wave scares you to the ground, it's really a useless guy." ”
I was about to speak, but Zhang Yuan and Qi Jianguo glared at Pang Zhi angrily and said, "Your guy's tone is really smoky, don't say a few words, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”
The company commander hurriedly waved his hand and asked me to squat down, and he said, "Now throw away the personal contradictions, and everyone thinks about how to get to the sacred mountain is the key." ”
He pointed to the towering mountain that clinged to the great lake behind him, and even at night he could see the clouds on the mountainside, and it was absolutely unrealistic to climb it.
"Brainstorm ideas." The company commander commanded, then raised his pistol and looked at the lake vigilantly.
Just when everyone was worried about the way up the mountain, the company commander suddenly took a step back, "All lie down, there is movement in the water." ”
My heart was pounding, wasn't it me dazzled last night, was there really something like a snake in the water? At this moment, a trace of ripples appeared on the surface of the lake at the foot of the mountain, and the ripples quickly turned into long stripes and slowly passed towards the center of the lake, and the company commander frowned and said: "There shouldn't be a big guy in the water, there is not even a splash, otherwise there would have been waves a long time ago, could it be a school of fish?" ”
"We're going to stand up." The company commander turned his head and asked.
Zhang Yuan, Qi Guoyuan, and He Miao came out without thinking about it, I hesitated for a while and came out, although I was not very good, but it should be no problem to swim ten meters.
Pang Zhi saw that we all came out, and he was not to be outdone, and came out, "Report to the company commander, and I will too." ”
The company commander nodded and said, "That's ......."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly there was a splash on the surface of the lake, and the sound became louder, and several waves of water gently spread towards the shore, and it was obvious that there was something in the water, so the company commander immediately decided to see the situation in the water, maybe there was a hole leading to the mountain at the bottom of the lake facing the cliff at the foot of the mountain.
He Miao, as the squad leader, immediately set an example, and without saying a word, he took off his upper body, put the flashlight in his mouth, and plunged into the water and dived.
We stood guard on the shore and watched the movement of the lake.
A minute or two passed, but He Miao was not seen floating up, the water was flat and silent.
Could it be that He Miao had an accident? Just as I was guessing, a head seven or eight meters away from the shore rushed out of the water, He Miao opened his mouth and breathed a few times, and swam towards us quickly.
As soon as we arrived on the shore, we found that his face was purple and his pupils were dilated, and he immediately wrapped himself in his shirt and said tremblingly: "Oh my God..... below..... ...... below"
He said for a long time, but he didn't make a fart, and almost slapped the company commander's angry temper, "What a, you are shaking a word!" (You can say it clearly.) )
He Miao tried to maintain his breath, and stumbled and said, "Under the water, there are people, and they are standing under the water and coming over." ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone shuddered in unison.
This reminds me of a story I heard before, my grandfather once worked as a river engineer on the Yangtze River, built the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, and dealt with water by the river all the year round, he said that every year the Yangtze River drowned how many people can not be counted, if there is a flood, it is a village, a village of death, the corpse floats on the surface of the river to form a dead float, it makes people chill to watch, some corpses float and keep going up and down, that is because there are fish pecking at the carrion on the corpse to eat.
However, the protagonist of the story told by grandpa is a profession, a profession that still exists to this day - corpse fisher, he said that the earliest corpse digger has rules, he met one on the Yangtze River, what makes grandpa most interested is their rules, corpse fishers have three do not fish, one, the birth date is unknown, do not fish; Second, those with their feet facing up and their heads down do not fish; Third, the coffin with the cage is sunk in the water and not fished; Finally, there is another one, standing on the corpse and not fishing.
Grandpa said that people whose birthdays are unknown are destined for lack of luck, and those who catch them are doomed. Feet up and head down in the middle of the water, that is called pouring onions, there is a corpse gas accumulation in the belly, so floating in the middle of the water can not go up or down, the corpse collector also tries not to pick up this hot potato, not to mention the corpse gas, the rake corpse hook hooked up and dragged up is also easy to corpse change.
The coffin sinks into the water, that is to settle down in the water, let alone touch, and the cage sinks into the water, usually by the pig cage to death, the resentment is very big, and even the people with the boat will be dragged into the water. As for the corpse standing underwater, it is impossible to hide, and in the words of the corpse digger, it is no longer a corpse.
When I thought of the story my grandfather had told, I felt a chill in my heart, but I didn't expect that the things in the story would actually let us run into them, but obviously those villagers had entered the house, why did they suddenly stand under the water again?
Is it guarding something?
Thinking of this, my heart became more and more flustered, and the gun in my hand trembled a little. Looking at the others, they also had terrifying expressions on their faces, and the previous expressions of agitation had long since disappeared.
After a stalemate of more than ten minutes, the lake 'banged' on the surface of the water, and the company commander hurriedly asked us to lie down, only to see that there was movement on the surface of the lake near the shore, and a black aquatic weed appeared on the surface of the lake, slowly drifting towards the shore, and then a top aquatic weed appeared behind.
Just when he was puzzled, He Miao pointed to the aquatic grass and couldn't speak, looking at his frightened expression, he knew that there was a problem, as he ascended, an old head slowly emerged from under the water, followed by his neck and shoulders, wasn't that person the old man who received us at the entrance of the village? The corpse was naked, and there was a cold white light faintly emanating from the night.
The old man came out of the water, and I tried to keep my heart rate as low as I could, so as not to let them notice it, but the old man's pupils slipped to the corners of his eyes, and stared at me obliquely, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The smile was not only terrifying at this moment, but it was familiar........ like I had seen it somewhere. There was a loud bang, and a large number of naked corpses came out of the water and headed towards the village.
"Get into the water!"
At this time, the company commander suddenly said: "There is definitely a problem in the water, they have entered the village, then the bottom of the lake must be empty, and this is a good opportunity." ”
So he took the lead in wrapping the gun, and I hurriedly followed, and the company commander said to me: "Bamboo, you stay and pick us up, and the others follow me to the bottom of the lake." ”
Pang Zhi quit and said, "Why let him stay?" I can too. ”
Qi Jianguo raised the butt of his gun and said, "Come on, let me give you a scoop, and you can stay." If the head of the bamboo is injured, it is best not to get cold water, otherwise it is easy to leave the sequelae of gout in the future. ”
I tightened the oil that wrapped the gun with my teeth, and when I released it, I said, "Company commander, let me go with you this time." ”
As I spoke, trying to put on a smile, just now, I regained some of my memories.
