The thing thrown by the figure flew over, with a faint smell of blood, and I felt even more uneasy, and I didn't dare to touch this mass directly, so I took a wooden stick and put a little on the thing that was flying in. My strength was strong enough, and with that, the mass fell to the ground with a snap.

I looked down, and the hairs on my body couldn't help but stand on end, the thing that smelled of blood turned out to be a dead child! He died a very tragic death, he was scratched through the chest, his face was covered with coagulated blood, his small body was stiff, but the blood hole in his chest was clearly visible. The child's eyes were closed, and there was a hint of pain at the corners of his mouth that did not subside until death.

"Hiss" I took a slight breath, raised my eyes to look at the figure standing opposite and still laughing, my heart was full of hatred, I could do such a poisonous thing to a child, does the murderer still have humanity? I walked on the river beach, with a heavy responsibility on my body, and rarely took the initiative to cause trouble, but when I saw this child who died very miserably, I couldn't be calm and calm, and when my footsteps moved slightly, I was about to walk towards the other party.

There is no need for such a vicious person to live anymore.

The figure more than ten meters away was blocked by a few sparse small trees, and she couldn't see her appearance, only a messy hair, swaying gently with the night wind, she kept laughing, dancing, as if she was crazy: "Look at it, look at it, who is he, who is he"

Suddenly, I felt like I sensed something, and I stopped, and looked down at the child who had died tragically. It was a boy, who looked like he was just a child of a river beach family, and he was dressed very ordinarily, but through the dried blood stains on the child's face, I noticed that his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat familiar. When I recognized it so closely, I sighed in my heart.

This dead child, who looks a little familiar, is the son of Jinbao! I've seen this little guy a few times, and his son is still young, so it's not particularly impressive, but if you look closely, you can still recognize it.

I suddenly raised my head and looked at the miserable laughing figure opposite, who was laughing and walking slowly, and as soon as I got closer, her appearance was revealed. I saw that her clothes were thin and filthy, dirty and unwashed for a long time, and her hair was messy, which was clearly Jinbao's wife who had been crazy for more than a year.

"It's you!" The hostility in my heart disappeared suddenly, but my heart was still very tight, what was going on?

"Dead, dead, my baby is dead" When Jinbao's daughter-in-law walked up, she sat on the ground, and her miserable laughter turned into a cry, and her face was also stained with blood, I don't know if it was a child or her own. The cry was more desolate than the laughter, and I felt sour when I heard it.

"Why are you alone?" I looked up and looked around, the uneasiness in my heart gradually spread, Jinbao and I grew up together, I know him very well, he is a very family-oriented person, it was for the life of Bo's wife and children that he was forced to dig up corpses along the river beach and fill the river, living a half-human and half-ghost life. I don't know if Jinbao's daughter-in-law can understand me, but Jinbao doesn't show up, so I can only ask her.

"The doll is dead" Jinbao's daughter-in-law cried and crawled on the ground, until she crawled to the child's corpse, picked up the corpse, and hugged it tightly in her arms. She had been crazy for more than a year, confused, and had no idea what to do, but she knew that her child was dead.

She was crying so hard and sad that I couldn't bear to interrupt her and keep looking around. There was no movement in the barren grove, and in my impression, Jinbao would never leave his wife and children.

After a long time, Jinbao's daughter-in-law may be tired of crying, so I quickly took this opportunity to squat in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember me?" What about Jinbao? Where is Jinbao? ”

"You are a water and water man" Jinbao's daughter-in-law muttered, and then her eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "Jinbao is here, here"

"Where is he?"

"Jinbao said, Shui Yanzi is a good person, a good person." Jinbao's daughter-in-law hugged the dead child, turned over and climbed up, her face was covered with blood and tears, she looked up and looked around, and whispered to me: "He's here, I'll take you there"

Jinbao's daughter-in-law turned around and walked away with the child in her arms, leading the way in front, and I followed her from this side of the forest to the depths, the forest was not big, and after walking about forty or fifty meters, I had reached the other side.

"He's over there," Jinbao's daughter-in-law turned back to me and said, "It's always there." ”

Suddenly, my footsteps stopped, and in the sparse woods, I saw a corpse hanging high on a tree branch, like a hanged ghost, with its feet more than a meter above the ground, and its body was swaying from side to side with the night wind passing through the forest. The hanged figure felt familiar to me, and after just one glance, I recognized it as Jinbao.

I paused, and ran to me in three steps and two steps, and the man hanging from the tree was indeed Jinbao, who was so badly wounded that he might have fled here from somewhere else, and was hanged alive from the tree.

"Jinbao" I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, Jinbao has been dead for a long time, his body has stiffened, he has been driving corpses down the river near the river beach, both hands are calloused, covered with cracked blood lines, he was stabbed in the shoulder, one leg was also broken, I can see sharp broken bones through his pants, faintly exposed. He was so badly injured that he couldn't run at all before he was caught up and brutally hanged from a tree.

What did he do wrong? Who killed him? I feel sad and angry, although I have no blood relationship with him, but after all, we grew up together, and he drove the corpses of our seven doors into the river for us, and has been doing things for seven gates. Seeing a partner who has nothing to talk about since childhood die tragically in front of him, that kind of feeling, ordinary people will never understand.

"He made people hang up, and he didn't move when he hung it" Jinbao's daughter-in-law stood under the tree with the child in her arms, raising her hand to put Jinbao down, but the rope around Jinbao's neck was very strong and kept pulling.

Whew

In the midst of my grief, I suddenly felt a cloud of Qi floating above Jinbao's lowered head, which was a wisp of remnant soul. After the physical damage and death of ordinary people, the soul can only exist for a short period of time when it is out of body, and then slowly drift away. But Jinbao misses his wife and children the most, he is dead, he can't rest assured, and a wisp of remnant soul insists on refusing to disperse.

"Jinbao!" I looked at the remnant soul and asked eagerly, "What's going on!" Who killed you! ”

Woooooooo

The remnant soul was so faint that it could barely make a soul sound, but it could clearly recognize me, and it floated to me and shook back and forth. The mutilated soul sound whined incessantly, like Jinbao crying.

"Jinbao, you say, who killed you!?" I was afraid that I would lose all clues as soon as the remnants were gone, so I asked again.

The remnant soul of "I" condensed for a long time, and finally emitted a soul sound that required all strength to distinguish and sense.

"Don't worry, I'm a water baby! The water baby who grew up with you, you say, speak slowly. ”

"I've been driving corpses to fill the river, I know some things, the sixth master is no longer in the river, he has already gone out of the river, he can't tolerate me" The wisp of remnant soul whimpered and said intermittently: "My wife is crazy, the child is still young, so I hope to give the sixth master a life, can thin the family, but the sixth master can't tolerate me"

"What did you say!" I couldn't help but listen to it, and the matter suddenly came to my grandfather, and I couldn't accept it. Although there has been some gap between me and my grandfather, I know his temperament, he is not the kind of ruthless person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges. He once washed the sect in anger back then, but it was all because of his father's affairs, if there was no deep hatred, how could his grandfather kill innocents indiscriminately? I shook my head and said, "My grandfather is not that kind of person!" I don't believe it! ”

"When I let people hang themselves, the sixth master was on the edge of the forest" Jinbao's soul voice couldn't hold on at all, and slowly dispersed with the night wind, but he still said unwillingly: "Water baby, this is my life, I don't blame you, I don't blame others, just ask you for one thing, my baby is dead, but my wife is still alive, please, if you are free, take care of her a little and let her live"

The conversation between the soul sounds was inaudible to ordinary people, but before Jinbao's request was finished, his daughter-in-law seemed to sense something, and suddenly cried beside her.

"People are dead, what am I still alive for, what am I still alive for"

boom

I didn't even react, Jinbao's daughter-in-law suddenly hit her head on the big tree next to her, and she hit it very hard, completely to seek death. By the time I wanted to stop it, it was too late, Jinbao's daughter-in-law's forehead, as well as her nose, mouth, and eyes, were oozing blood together, with less air in and more air out, and she was not alive when she saw it.

The remnant soul above his head that was about to dissipate distorted for a moment, as if a person had suddenly fainted after experiencing extreme pain, and the soul sound was completely interrupted.

My fists clenched so tightly that I clenched my teeth before I knew it. A monstrous hatred continued to swell and spread in my heart, and what made me feel resentful was not only the tragic death of Jinbao's family, but also a faint question and accusation.

Did Grandpa want Jinbao to die? If it really is, then where did the principles he taught me to be a human being come from? The Seven Gates of the River never kill innocents indiscriminately, this is an ancestral teaching, and it is also a kind of morality. But looking at the family of three who died in front of them, that kind of morality suddenly seemed to be lost.

The seven gates have been running around the river for generations, and they have never changed their original intentions with blood and sweat, so what is it for? One person can't manage all the injustices in the world, but when it comes to the seven doors, I can't sit by! Just because I am the descendant of the Seven Gates, and I am the big palm of the Seven Gates.

"Jinbao, if you have a spirit, tell me where the person who killed you is going!"

The remnant soul swooped into Jinbao's corpse. I saw Campbell's stiff arm lift slightly, pointing to a deserted path outside the woods.

I quickly dug a big hole, buried all the Campbells in it, and then chased after them in the direction that Campbell was pointing.

This is not hot-headed, to be brave, Jinbao does things for Qimen, if no one cares if he dies, then who will be with Qimen in the future? Jinbao is dead, he doesn't lie, and when he died, his grandfather was next to him. Invisibly, the shadow of grandpa in his heart seems to be blurred and unfamiliar again. The gap that there was already in the bottom of my heart instantly collapsed even more.
