Chapter 9: There are ghosts at the bottom of the river

Later, someone burned the tomb with a fire, and the qiΔ“ inside, along with the corpses of a dozen Red Guards, was swept away.

I heard that later there were also bold people who coveted the funeral goods inside and sneaked in, but they all lost their heads inside.

Naturally, this place also became a place of great murder, and later it slowly became a place for villagers to discard their corpses.

The carcasses of some night cats and wild dogs, as well as some ownerless carcasses, will be thrown into the hole at will.

The second master asked us to wait for him in the guillotine hole, and I was a little frightened in my heart.

Along the way, I found that there were many strange teams near the river beach.

Usually only during the flood season does the river beach come to many outsiders to collect fish or do business. At this time, it is the time when the river beach is relatively deserted.

So I think it's definitely not right for so many outsiders to come here.

And these people don't fish. Either digging pits and burying pillars in the ground near the river beach, or shoveling the ground everywhere with broken shovels, and even a few well drilling teams are not far away.

I try to avoid these people as much as possible, lest there be another incident, and I have a premonition that the appearance of these people may be related to what happened to me recently.

Maybe it is also related to the "Book of Ancient Yi Tian".

But the further I went, the more teams like this became, and I didn't dare to move forward rashly, mainly for fear of being discovered.

So I simply decided to rest during the day and leave again at night.

There is no store in front of the village and no store in this place, so I can only find a relatively hidden reed swinger to hide. The closest construction team to here has to be two kilometers away, to say the least, so don't worry that they will find us.

I took realgar with me and sprinkled a handful around it. There are many water snakes in the reeds, and they are prepared.

Tang Yiyi was also tired enough, choking on noodles and steamed buns. I said I'm sorry for you, girl.

Tang Yiyi said nothing, when we were young, didn't we drill around in this reed?

I said that when we go out, I will take you to eat delicious food, and you can eat whatever you want.

Tang Yiyi covered her stomach and said that she wanted to eat auspicious wontons. I said that's good, I'll definitely take you to eat a good meal when I go out.

I asked her to lie down and rest for a while, and Tang Yiyi nodded. I also closed my eyes and prepared to recuperate.

But as soon as I closed my eyes, I heard a squeaky sound. I looked around vigilantly and realized that it was a group of people pushing small carts to deliver food.

There are many swamps here, and large vehicles such as tractors cannot enter, so they can only push small carts.

Needless to say, I also knew that they must have delivered food to the construction team in front. Judging by their dress and speech, I judged that they were the riverbank dwellers.

My eyes lit up, and I suddenly wanted to blend in with the team and go up to see what the construction team was doing.

I woke Tang Yiyi up, handed her the "Book of Ancient Yi Tianshu", and asked her to wait for me here for a while, while I sneaked out and followed the team.

I found out that there was also an old man who sold department stores, so I went up and bought a pack of cigarettes from the old man, and respectfully handed the old man a cigarette.

I grew up on the river beach, and I was quite good at dealing with them, and my uncle quickly became acquainted with me.

I took the initiative to help the uncle push the cart, and the uncle smiled and said that the baby is good, which village, another day the uncle will introduce you to an object.

I said that it was from the Wangpu village in front of me. Uncle, you look like you're fifty, your body is quite tough, and you don't dare to walk on this swampy road at your age.

Uncle laughed and said Where is it, young man, I am now sixty-five.

After removing the uncle's defense, I asked what the gang in front of me was doing? Uncle said you don't know yet, the people of Jiuli are going to build a fish food processing factory here, and my grandson has hired me a janitor's errand in it.

The people of Jiuli?

Jiuli is a small village spontaneously formed by the Jiuli ethnic group near the river beach, and all the people living in it are Jiuli people. is not very harmonious with other ethnic groups, Jiuli women are not allowed to marry outside, Jiuli men are not allowed to marry≀ they are a group of self-respecting guys.

At that time, there was a wealthy businessman in Jiuli, and he invested a huge amount of money in Jiuli Village and built several enterprises that processed fish and food, so Jiuli Village is still a well-known well-off village.

However, my grandfather once told me that what kind of bullshit fish food processing factory is to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, and do some shady things behind the scenes.

As for the shady deeds, I don't know very well, but I vaguely heard that they were fishing for antiques from the Yellow River and selling them out.

Jiuli has never built a factory outside the village, and this time he came all the way to build a factory here, which must be strange.

Just thinking about it, we have come to the construction site. The construction site is also a kilometer away from the river beach. Several drilling rigs are frantically drilling into the ground, and a team is digging a pit near the river beach.

And here, a simple greenhouse has been built, but I can't see any processing equipment, it seems that it is really selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

As soon as the villagers arrived, someone came up to negotiate the price with them.

Uncle asked me to put the car in a flat place and sit on the pony and smoke.

I handed him another cigarette and sat next to him and smoked it, while secretly observing the construction site.

I soon found out that there were three suspicious guys at the scene, and they were holding broken shovels, shoveling here, digging a few times there, and then planting flags in some places to mark them.

Where the marks have been made, there will be a drilling rig coming to drill the well.

I smiled and asked my uncle: "Uncle, what are those people doing, I haven't heard of digging wells to build a factory." ”

The uncle immediately became angry: "Hmph, Jiuli, these bastards, do something to cut off their children and grandchildren." ”

I pretended to be puzzled and said, "Uncle, why did you cut off your children and grandchildren when you built this factory?" ”

The uncle said: "Do you know what that broken shovel is for? ”

I was a little surprised: "Isn't it used to shovel fish?" ”

When I was a kid, I didn't do a lot of shoveling fish. As for why this thing is called a broken shovel, I also asked my grandfather, but he never said.

The uncle said: "This broken shovel, whose scientific name is Luoyang shovel, is used to find graves. They're robbing tombs. ”

I scolded secretly, I didn't expect that in this era, I would dare to rob the tomb openly. Dig up people's ancestral graves, but you have to give God a thunderbolt.

At this moment, a man who drilled a well on the river beach suddenly screamed: "Oh no, no, it's not good, the corpse is rebellious, the corpse is rebellious." ”

The people who were originally in full swing stopped what they were doing when they heard the corpse rebellion, and they rushed to the river beach.

And when I heard the corpse, my heart jumped.

Corpse rebellion is a very strange phenomenon. The dead body is swimming upstream, and whoever comes close to it dies, in short, it is very evil.

However, since I was a child, I have never seen a corpse, but I have heard about the corpse rebellion by chance from the mouths of the elders.

The uncle grabbed me, and his tone was a little excited: "Hebo has appeared, Hebo has appeared." Hebo, this is to punish them. Do not come near, lest evil come upon you. ”

And where will I listen, insist on going. It's not that I'm curious, but I want to see if this corpse is related to grandpa.

Ever since my grandfather mysteriously disappeared into the river, I have always suspected that the strange things that happened in the river had something to do with my grandfather.

By the time I ran up, the beach had already been tightly enclosed. It took a lot of effort for me to finally squeeze in.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it, there were about ten corpses, flowing down the Yellow River, up the river little by little.

They looked like they had been dead for a while, their bodies were already rotting, and there were even two corpses with broken necks, with only a trace of flesh still attached.

A pair of white eyes, staring at the people on the shore, made my scalp tingle.

Their bodies were motionless, and they really didn't know what force was sustaining them up against the current.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." At this moment, a group of people rushed out of the crowd with a shout, and pushed me aside. The leader was a well-dressed old fellow, with a thief's eyebrows, a gong around his neck, and two walnuts in his hand, looking strange.

If I'm not mistaken, he should be the leader of this team.

"A few corpses, what's there to see." The old pedant said impatiently: "It's all gone, go to work." ”

The crowd seemed to be afraid of the old pedant, and they all dispersed. Only the guys who came with the old pedant talked to the old pedant about something.

I and a few other villagers who had come from other villages were still standing by the river and watching the strange thing.

"Hey, hey, you guys, come here." The old pedant shouted at us.

I walked up with the villagers.

"Whoever goes in and scoops up the dead body, and gets one for five hundred dollars." The old pedant said to us.

Cut, take the villagers for fools? He was reluctant to let his people go into the water, and wanted to use money to buy off outsiders.

Even if we die in it, if he insists that we went down of our own free will, he will be able to push it all away.

Although the villagers are greedy for money, they also retain a sense of reverence for the river, and no one wants to enter it.

The old pedant said impatiently: "Five thousand, give you one last chance." ”

Five thousand, catching up with the villagers' harvest in a year, I see that several villagers are moved and eager to try, but after thinking about it again, no one dares to stand up.

"Forget it, no one wants to earn a ticket for Baihuahua." The old pedant said disappointedly: "Let's go, I don't want you to supply food in the future." ”

Under the coercion and temptation of the old pedant, there was still a strong man who wanted to stand up in the end. I was so shocked that I reached out and tried to stop him.

However, I was seen by the old pedant, who glared at me: "Hey, that baby, you don't want to get rich, don't block other people's wealth." ”

I had to let go of my hand.

It's obviously stupid to have a conflict with the old pedant at this time.

The strong man came up and said, "Six thousand pieces for one, I'll fish them all out for you." ”

The old pedant said impatiently: "Five thousand five, it can't be more." ”

People die for money, birds die for food, and seeing that strong men want to get rich, the jealousy of the villagers rose, and two more water-based ones stood up: "Count us in." ”

The old pedant said, "Okay, count your share." ”

The old scholar sent someone to bring three thick ropes and tied them to the waists of several people: "If you feel that you can't control it later, pull the rope hard, and we will pull you up." ”

All three nodded, took off their clothes, tied the rope to their bodies, and got into the lake little by little.

I prayed in my heart that nothing would happen, nothing would happen.

The three strong men quickly approached the group of corpses, and the leading man grabbed the arm of one of the corpses and dragged him to the shore.

Nothing at all.

Seeing that the strong man was about to go ashore, the strong man didn't step on it steadily, and fell into the river with a pop.
