Chapter 234 Arriving at the Lake of the Dead
The ghost uncle at the bow of the boat held the steering wheel in one hand and the iron hook in the other, staring at the river on both sides, as long as he saw the corpse, he immediately stopped the boat to salvage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It went on for a while, but the two bodies in the photo were not recovered.
After Yu Xiao left the Soul Beach with him, he handed the photo to Uncle Ghost, so that he could confirm it.
At this moment, the torrential rain in the sky seemed to be gradually decreasing, and even the thunder and lightning began to stop. From continuous hitting, it only comes out once every thirty seconds.
"It rained all night, and it looks like it's going to stop." Looking up at the sky in front of him, Uncle Ghost said loudly.
It's hard to predict the weather, and the sun may come out in the morning and rain in the afternoon.
Uncle Ghost drove the boat down the tide and ran downstream, and found a lot of corpses floating up along the way, but when he took the photos and took them carefully, they were all not.
"Uncle Ghost, are there any other dangerous places down there?" Walked up to him and asked.
It was scary enough to pass by the Soul Beach before, but if there was a similar place down there, it would be dangerous.
"The danger is gone for now, but there's a dead man's lake down there. The river flows through the lake and then to other places. ”
After that, Uncle Ghost scooped up a corpse with an iron hook, looked at it, and threw it aside.
It's just that most of the corpses on this river have floated down from the upstream. It is estimated that it will be difficult to salvage all of them ashore and wait for relatives to identify the bodies.
It's also a place where his own house is only so big, and in these ten miles and eight villages, there is only Uncle Ghost, a corpse digger, who wants to fish them all up and put them at home, but I'm afraid that it won't work.
Who knows when the corpse of the loved ones will come? It's not very lucky, after all, no one will put so many corpses at home.
So Uncle Ghost didn't want to be this good person, and only when his employer came to invite him and gave him some money, he could go down to the river to fish for the corpse.
"Lake of the Dead!" Surprised to hear this, Yu Xiao was surprised.
"Uncle Ghost, it sounds like this place and that Soul Beach are as terrifying." With another sentence, Yu Xiao looked up and looked ahead.
"The reason why there are more water ghosts and ghosts in the Soul Beach is also because there is a big stone slab under the water in that section to block a lot of corpses. So most of the people who floated down the current gathered there. ”
Uncle Ghost explained while salvaging the corpse in front of him.
He also knew that there were all kinds of dead bodies on this river. From ancient times to the present, since the elders can call it the Soul Beach, it naturally makes sense.
"As for the Lake of the Dead, it's not that scary. But there are still many corpses at the bottom of the lake, and the predecessors like to drive there by boat. In addition to the fact that there are fewer ghosts and ghosts, the lake is also relatively calm. ”
With that, Uncle Ghost had a smile on his face. No body was found along the way to be recovered, and it was most likely that it had drifted to the bottom of the Lake of the Dead.
The surface of the lake is not very large, only a radius of tens of meters. The bottom depth is about eight or nine meters deep.
When Uncle Ghost went down to the river to fish for corpses before, he also passed by several times. It's not dangerous, but the lake is a little still a little still.
Normally, the river rolls down at high tide, but when it passes through the lake, only part of the lake follows, and most of the rest is still very calm.
It looks a little strange, once Uncle Ghost dived to the bottom of the lake during the day, although he salvaged the body, but he felt that the ground at the bottom of the lake seemed to be shaking, like a small earthquake.
I can't help but wonder if there is some secret hidden at the bottom of the lake?
"Uncle Ghost is familiar with the road anyway, so I'll follow you, and it's safer." said with a smile, Yu Xiao helped Uncle Ghost grasp the steering wheel of the ship.
It's just that on both sides of the boat, there are more and more corpses floating up, so it is really difficult for Uncle Ghost to be busy alone, so Yu Xiao hurried up to help.
The time was exactly six o'clock, and the raindrops that were originally the size of beans turned into drizzle at this moment. The strange and terrifying sound of thunder and lightning in the sky space was finally hidden.
It's just that the sky is still so dark, like late at night.
Yu Xiao grasped the direction of the ship and slowed down. Staring at the ghost uncle in front of him, he fished into the river from time to time, and couldn't help but admire in his heart.
Although Uncle Ghost is already over thirty-five years old, his physical strength is not inferior to that of young people in their twenties.
I saw him light a cigarette, take a deep breath, and then raise the iron hook and salvage it towards the river.
"You stop the boat for a while, and I'll salvage a few corpses and take a look." Suddenly, Uncle Ghost shouted loudly in front of him.
Then he saw the boat stop, he walked to a place only a dozen centimeters from the surface of the river, and threw the iron hook in front of him, which was four or five meters long.
But all that was thrown out was an iron hook head, and an extended black iron chain, the handle still in his hand.
Uncle Ghost held the cigarette in his mouth and hooked his right foot around a wooden stake, for fear that he would be pulled down the river if he exerted force. After exerting all his strength, another corpse was pulled in front of him.
"Come and see, doesn't this corpse look like the man in the photo?" Uncle Ghost said behind him, and pulled the body onto the board.
"It's very similar!" Yu Xiao leaned over to his side, took a closer look, and said.
I saw that the man in the photo had a black mole on the right side of his eyebrows, which was not very obvious. But the corpse that Uncle Ghost picked up, although his face was a lot swollen, everything else was the same, and there was also a black mole on the center of his eyebrows to the right.
After carefully observing it with a flashlight again, Uncle Ghost breathed a sigh of relief. Finally found a corpse, which can be considered lucky.
But I had to find another corpse before I could breathe a sigh of relief, so I left half a mouthful. However, since it can be salvaged here, it is only a matter of time before it continues to run downstream, and it is only a matter of time before it is salvaged.
"I'll pack the corpse first, don't start the boat yet!" After speaking, Uncle Ghost walked into the houseboat, took the black cloth bag he had prepared when he went down the river before, and hurriedly walked out again.
"A piece of help me pocket the body and put it in the houseboat." As he spoke, Uncle Ghost opened the cloth bag and put it in front of the corpse's head.
Yu Xiao covered his nose with one hand, because he smelled the corpse just now, which was particularly pungent and unpleasant, and pulled the pocket on the side of his foot with the other hand.
Soon put the corpse into a cloth bag, Uncle Ghost carried it into the houseboat, and immediately came out after putting it away, and looked at the river with an iron hook.
"Let's get out of the boat, there's the Lake of the Dead not far ahead." As he spoke, Uncle Ghost retracted the iron hook in his hand to its original state.
Yu Xiao drove the boat for about fifteen minutes, and then Uncle Ghost told him to stop, saying that the Dead Man's Lake was in front of him.
"Wait a minute, drive to the middle of the lake, you help me keep an eye on the lake from the boat, and I'll go into the water to see."
Uncle Ghost took off his clothes, tied a belt around his waist, and pinned the black dagger to his waist with his hand. (To be continued.) )
