Dragon Boat Festival side story: the story of cat corpses and zongzi

This is a real case, because the time of occurrence is around the Dragon Boat Festival, the author in order to meet the occasion, I will take out this case separately to share with readers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Time of occurrence: June 1, 1992, Children's Day, four days later is the Dragon Boat Festival.

Place of occurrence: A water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It's not that the author is reluctant to say the detailed address, but the impact of this case is too great, and there are still people who mention it after dinner, in order to prevent readers from taking a seat, I won't say the detailed city name here.

The background of the incident is a little explained: the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through this water town, and many residents live along the river. At that time, the river water was very clear, and in the summer, many residents along the river would swim in the river to cool off.

June 1, Children's Day. The temperature that day was not high, it should have been twenty-seven or eight degrees. The school is closed in the afternoon. Yu Lin, who is in the fifth grade of elementary school, didn't know what was wrong, so he asked a group of classmates to go swimming in the canal. The children of that era were not as expensive as the children of today, so they didn't need to tell their parents, so they went directly to the canal.

The landing port of the canal where Yu Lin and the others went was a corner tributary of the canal, and the river was relatively mixed, but it could still swim. The reason why I chose this place is because it is dangerous for ships to swim in the main river. At the corner of the tributary, there are no ships coming and going, which is relatively safe, but because this place is a dead end, everything floating on the river will float into this dead end. Although the river water was relatively clear at that time, it was inevitable that there would be some dead cats and dead dogs floating on the river. Yu Lin went there with his classmates that day, and his luck was not very good, as there happened to be a dead cat floating in the dead corner of the river. Due to the long soaking time, the whole dead cat is like a balloon that rises, round and round, and the cat's hair is already clean with the washing of the river.

The primary school students don't care if it's dirty or not, as long as the swollen cat corpse is set aside from this corner, so everyone is looking for bamboo poles and branches that can be provoked, but one classmate felt a little uneasy, and said to Yu Lin: "Yu Lin, why don't we go to other places to have a look, my grandmother told me that it will be very unlucky to see dead cats, especially cats dead in the river." Yu Lin seemed to be the eldest of these children, and in the face of this classmate's reminder, he immediately refuted: "You are superstitious, haven't you heard the teacher tell us?" We have to believe in science. Let's hurry up and find the bamboo pole, pick the disgusting dead cat away, and we can swim. The rest of the students saw that the boss said this, and they all responded, and the student who suggested saw that his views were not accepted, in order to prevent himself from taking off the list, he could only find a bamboo pole with everyone.

After a while, the friends found the bamboo pole, Yu Lin took the bamboo pole, stood on the shore, and used the bamboo pole to pick up the cat corpse, the cat corpse was already highly decomposed, just relying on the skin of that body, and wrapped the rotten internal organs mixed with the corpse gas, which could be broken in an instant, and was picked by Yu Lin with such a bamboo pole, and a "poof" sound could be clearly heard, and then it was the green, mixed with feces-like internal organs overflowing from the body. Before Yu Lin and Yu Lin's friends could react, an indescribable stench came to their nostrils.

While covering their noses, the friends all curiously leaned towards Hanoi to see, and Yu Lin, who was standing on the riverbank and stirring up, didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly an upside-down green onion was planted into the river from the riverbank. "Plop", the splash of water fell on the faces of the friends, it felt sticky and smelly, and when you touched it with your hands, it was the rotten organs on the cat's corpse. The friends only care about themselves to "cleanse themselves", where will they pay attention to the remaining forest that fell into the river?

When the friends had almost cleaned up their bodies, they remembered that Yu Lin had no movement, and asked each other where Yu Lin was? I said that I just fell into the river, so why should I get up if I fell into the river? Everyone looked into the river and saw that the river was quiet, except for the head of the cat corpse, which was still faintly visible, and the river was a muddy thing.

"Yu Lin's fierce son is deep enough, hasn't it surfaced?" A classmate stood on the shore and muttered:

"Wouldn't it? No matter how fierce you are, it is impossible not to be so quiet. Look at what this dead cat has rotted into? Can Yu Lin still hold back in the water? Another student felt a little unlikely, and said:

After a while, there was still no movement in the river, and the friends began to panic, one of the friends picked up the bamboo pole that Yu Lin had just fallen, poked it into the river and shouted while pounding: "Yu Lin, come out quickly, the teacher is here!" ”

If the sentence "the teacher is coming" is placed in normal times, maybe a hundred tests will be tried, and no matter how well hidden the classmates will be able to come out as soon as possible. But now? No matter how the classmates shouted on the shore, there was no movement in the river. The bold students are still trying their last try, and the timid students have already retreated, "What should I do?" What to do? Why don't we go home...... I...... I'm scared! ”

The longer it passed, the more frightened these friends became, and in the end, two out-of-control classmates cried "wow", which also attracted the attention of pedestrians, who gathered around and asked what was going on. At this time, the children all said that a classmate had fallen into the river. Passers-by found that the situation was not good, some stripped down to the river to rescue, and some rushed to the police......

Within half an hour, the police arrived at the scene, and the people who had previously entered the river found nothing, and Yu Lin was not found. On the one hand, the police called the marine police for search and rescue, and on the other hand, they contacted the parents of the children, especially Yu Lin's parents. When Yu Lin's parents rushed to the scene crying silently, the search and rescue work of the marine police had made no progress.

According to the judgment of the degree of turbulence of the water and the time when Yu Lin fell into the water, the marine police felt that even if Yu Lin drowned, he should appear nearby, and it was impossible to disappear for no reason, but when they saw those children who were pale with fright and cried, they could basically conclude that the possibility of reporting a false case was very small. Just when everyone was at a loss, Yu Lin's mother repeatedly asked the police to search and rescue again, an old man in the crowd suddenly spoke: "Fish up the cat's head in the middle of the house!" Everyone followed the old man's words and looked at the edge of the river, and saw something resembling a cat's head falling along with the lapping of the river's embankment.
