Chapter VII Throwing Corpses and Raising Fish
Uncle Zhou made a special method, the bones at the bottom of the lake gradually floated on the water, and the large and small white bones filled the entire water surface, and you didn't need to count how many skeletons there were to roughly know how many people there were.
"An Yan, your guess is correct." Jiang Xiaosheng frowned, his voice a little low.
"I wish I was wrong!"
"Mianmian, so many people have died here before?" The number of skeletons is terrifying.
Yang Mianmian shook his head, "I don't know the specific number, but it seems to be a little more." She looked at the old man, but the old man had no answer.
"No, look at this skeleton," Uncle Zhou pointed to one of them and said, "Although there is no flesh and skin, if you look closely, there is still blood on the bones, which means that this corpse was recently thrown into the lake." ”
Yang Mianmian came to the lake, counted the water surface, and put it on the tip of her nose to smell lightly, "I see, this familiar smell has been smelled in the fish market!" ”
Fish market? No one catches the fish here and sells it to the fish market, right?
"This kind of fish that feeds on corpses contains more or less corpse poison in its body, and the corpse will transform after the living eat it and die." Uncle Zhou's face was extremely bad, "If it goes on like this, this area will become a place for the walking dead." ”
When everyone heard it, they felt that the matter was serious, the walking corpse was not a joke, this kind of thing was not recognized by the six relatives, and when they saw a living thing, they would bite, drink blood and eat meat.
"The main thing now is to find people who sell the fish."
The old man looked at the surrounding mountains, looked at the river, and said, "I think he has a purpose in doing this, your river is next to the mountain of the mass grave, once it rains, the rain on the mountain will flow into this lake, and the yin qi will accumulate thicker and thicker. ”
"I think too, this man must be a doorman."
Uncle Zhou snorted, "Crooked ways, harm others and yourself!" ”
"Anyway, we should stop him from selling fish to the villagers now."
The crowd followed Yang Mianmian down the sheep intestine path, passing through the village, and finally arrived at the fish market. "I think that village was also very unusual just now," Uncle Zhou said.
When I went to the entrance of the fish market, I found that there were villagers squatting on both sides, and they raised various kinds of fish in their own wooden pots.
"How do you find so many people?"
Yang Mianmian asked a seller: "Uncle, let me ask you something, who of you has the biggest fish?" ”
The uncle hurriedly grabbed her, "Young man, no, girl, my fish is the biggest!" He picked up a grass carp and said, "Look, this grass carp is not only big, but also very fresh. ”
When the seller next to him heard this, he also hurriedly mentioned his own fish, and said: "My fish is the biggest, don't listen to his nonsense, their fish is the smallest!" ”
"My fish is also quite big, and the price is very cheap, you can buy one!
"Fish can't be seen, delicious is the top priority, girl, our fish is definitely the best!"
……
In the face of the seller's various promotions, Yang Mianmian was at a loss for a while.
Jiang Xiaosheng smiled secretly on the side, "Don't look at her usually as a female man, in fact, she is a little girl who has never seen the world in her bones, look at my brother!" ”
He quickly aimed at a middle-aged woman with fresh fish in her hand, and stepped forward to ask, "Sister, may I ask you something?" ”
The woman laughed, "You're really good at talking, I'm in my forties," and touched her cheek.
"Whereever, I look at you in your twenties," Jiang Xiaosheng said with a smile.
The woman asked pleasantly, "By the way, what do you want to ask, young man?" ”
"I'm visiting relatives from out of town, and I'm thinking of buying a fish to cook at noon, but I don't know which one to buy, so I want to ask you. Because as soon as I look at you, I know she's a good woman! ”
"Hehe, young man, your vision is so accurate, don't dare to say anything else, no one can compare to me when it comes to picking fish!" She changed her words, "If you want to say which fish is the best, it can only be the Li family, his fish is big and cheap, and the taste is very delicate!" ”
"Where is the Li family's fish stall?"
The woman turned and pointed, "Right there," she said, holding up the fish in her hand, "You see, I bought this fish at their house."
Jiang Xiaosheng looked at the extremely large fish in her hand and thought that it should be right.
"Young man, you move faster, their business has been very good, and if you go late, it's gone!"
Jiang Xiaosheng nodded, "Thank you then, sister." He signaled to An Yan that their target had been found.
The woman passed by them happily, and muttered, "This man somehow, the more he lives, the younger he gets......"
The group followed the woman's instructions to the stall, but the building was empty, and the fish seller had already left. However, they found a dead fish tossed aside.
Uncle Zhou squatted down and sniffed, "That's right, this fish has corpse qi in its body." ”
This so-called seller surnamed Li should be a villager in the village, if he is really a doorman, all the layout he does is to achieve a certain purpose.
Uncle Zhou said that no matter what method is used, there should be only one purpose for gathering a large number of corpses - to raise corpses.
But they didn't find the body in the lake, so where was the body? Uncle Zhou discussed with them, since he already knew his purpose, he should stop him from continuing to harm people, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
But according to the old man's memory, there are many families surnamed Li in the village, and if there is really no way, they can only find them one by one.
At night, it had been three days since the trip, but they seemed to have just set off, and they were still far from the destination. The sky was dark, and there was not a single star, as if their future was always filled with a lot of fog, and no matter how good their eyesight was, they could not see clearly; Uncle Zhou always said that everything must be seen with the heart to see the essence, but An Yan felt that his heart was becoming more and more confused at this time, no matter how smart his mind was, there was always a place where he was immature, and his smart brain could not shake it.
"An Yan, see if my watch is slow, hurry up and use you to give it to me!"
Seeing An Yan regard his words as wind in his ears, Jiang Xiaosheng had no choice but to lean over and use the watch on his arm to check the time.
Jiang Xiaosheng muttered, "It seems to be more than a minute slower." ”
An Yan glanced down at his watch, only to see that the minute hand was still a little short of nine o'clock, Jiang Xiaosheng counted every second, and when all the second hands pointed to the same place, he quickly moved the minute hand.
“1,2,3,4,5…… Finally synchronized. ”
An Yan smiled: "Is it necessary for you to cling to these few seconds?" ”
Jiang Xiaosheng gave him a blank look, "To tell you honestly, I'm a Virgo, strive for perfection, don't say a few seconds, not a second apart!" ”
For his character of racing against time, An Yan felt helpless but felt very familiar, which reminded him of Wang Dashan's previous school, even if he faced a small problem, he would not give up until he made it clear.
To be honest, Jiang Xiaosheng and Wang Dashan are very similar in some places, but on the other hand, the two are very different.
