The old ghost's words really made me tremble, outside the rafts on the wooden shelf, wrapped in a layer of gray and white things, stained with a lot of dirt, that thing has turned black, the smell of floating outside, and the raft is full of indescribable evil, ordinary people are estimated to have weak legs when they walk here, no wonder no one will run to the territory of **.

Scooping up corpses is one of the 36 side gates of the Yellow River in the past, and since it is a side door, there will be something that cannot be seen in the light. Speaking of which, the process of retrieving the corpse is not complicated, driving a boat or raft to walk on the water, and when encountering a corpse, either the corpse is lassoed with a rope and dragged all the way to the shore, or the hook is used to hook the clothes and hands and feet, and pull it to the raft. In order to improve their safety in the water, they have always had an old custom of wrapping the raft with human skin, which is said to be able to wrap the corpse on the raft with the yin qi of human skin, and the general water ghosts and floating corpses will not trouble them.

Whether there is any basis for this statement, I don't know, anyway, the history of the Song family's human raft is not three or five years, and I trust this thing very much. How many human skins do you have to wrap a five-meter-long and three-meter-wide raft? And the rafts had to be changed frequently, so they had to constantly look for "raw materials".

"The skin of the floating corpse can't be used?" I asked the old ghost.

"You know the." The old ghost looked at the human rafts on the wooden shelves, and swallowed his spit. The floating corpses on the river surface are often soaked and swollen, sometimes a corpse is soaked in two or three hundred catties, if people who are more interested in criminal investigation novels or materials know, the scientific name of such a corpse is called the giant view (don't search for pictures of the giant view on the Internet because of curiosity, otherwise you will have a nightmare for three months), the skin of the corpse has been completely soaked, and you can't use it when you take it off.

The reputation of the Song family stinks in this place, they have a very bad habit, in order to find the skin of the raft, the Song family is good at digging people's graves, especially the newly buried people, as long as the Song family knows, they must go to planing overnight, and then remove the skin of the deceased. Often, the bodies were buried under the first day, and they were removed overnight, leaving an empty grave.

"Baby, let's go." The old ghost waved his hand and walked all the way, and the crackling sound in the bones on his body continued one after another: "The matter was asked by Chen Lao Liu to do it, but what the Song family owes is not Chen Lao Liu's debt, but Lao Tzu's debt." "

I felt the murderous aura faintly emanating from the old ghost's body again, and there was a resentment in that murderous aura. This makes me very suspicious, did the Song family do anything to be sorry for the old ghost?

He took me around the wooden shelf and walked straight towards the village, and the people of Baoliu Village always dig other people's graves, which have a bad reputation, and they are usually very careful, lest someone get annoyed and come to retaliate, so there are often people in the village who are swaying back and forth, responsible for observing the wind and grass around them. As soon as the old ghost and I appeared at the entrance of the village, we were immediately seen, and there were about six or seven young and strong Song family members, who trotted all the way around and blocked the two of us on the way into the village.

The young and strong boatwalkers, almost all of them were hot tempered, but the old ghost was blocked by six or seven people, and he didn't panic at all, shook his wrist, and said, "Is your palm lamp Song Baiyi dead?" If he is not dead, call him out, and Lao Tzu wants to see him. "

"Old thing! Are you here to die? Six or seven people were immediately angry, the old ghost said that Song Baiyi was the village chief of Baoliu Village, and he was also the leader of the family, before the liberation, the patriarch of this Jianghu family was habitually called "palm lamp", and when he said the palm lamp of the Song family, he was actually talking about Song Baiyi.

I just think that the old ghost is looking for trouble, and the same sentence is asked in different ways, and the effect must be different. Six or seven young people hula and I surrounded the old ghost in front of and back, but before they could do it, I felt that my eyes were flowering, and the old ghost around me jumped out at a speed I didn't expect, and in just two seconds, I heard a very painful howl, and a Song family member was caught by the old ghost. The old ghost's hands were like chicken paws, but when he grabbed it, he almost grabbed a piece of meat from the other party's face.

After the first scream, the figure of the old ghost kept shaking in front of my eyes, and every time it shook, a Song family fell to the ground wailing and struggled back and forth. There are more than one or two people practicing martial arts on the Yellow River beach, and I have seen it myself, but I have never seen such a powerful old ghost, and there is no doubt that he must have worked hard when he was young.

The old ghost shot too hard, and with a slap on the face, he almost slapped half of a person's life. I saw that the old ghost's hands were covered in blood, and his eyes, which had been squinting, seemed to be opened, and a happy light flickered back and forth in his eyes. At that moment, I suddenly understood that he seemed to be venting his resentment.

In just two or three minutes, six or seven young people who were alive and well had fallen to the ground, screaming again and again.

"Get up!" The old ghost grabbed a Song family member casually, that person was at most twenty-six or seventeen years old, his body was very strong, but his arm was dislocated, the cold sweat on his face was as big as soybeans, and he shivered in pain, and the old ghost lifted him up stiffly: "Lao Tzu's hands, I have been inserting iron beans since I was five years old, and I have been inserting them for fifteen years, your brain is hard, or is the iron beans hard?" Get in! Call Song Baiyi out! Today he doesn't show his head, Lao Tzu demolished Baoliu Village! "

As he spoke, the old ghost pushed the other party hard, and the man was frightened by the old ghost, holding his dislocated arm, and running towards the village. Looking at his back, the old ghost sighed, clapped his hands, and continued to walk forward with me as if nothing had happened.

We had only been out for a while, and out of the village came a dozen people, all armed with sticks and knives, followed by an old man in his sixties and nearly seventy. The old man has gray hair, neatly combed, and his body is very strong, and he is estimated to be a good figure when he is young, and he is more than 1.8 meters tall, and he walks vigorously.

A group of people were aggressive and ran towards us in one go, but when the old man saw the old ghost clearly, the burly body suddenly shook, rubbed his eyes, and had an incredible expression, and he was stunned at that time, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Stop it," the old man was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly shouted to stop the rushing gang, and trotted all the way over.

The old ghost didn't have any expression on his face, but the eyes that had been squinting were completely round at the moment, and he stood in place with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the old man running over.

When the distance between the two sides was very close, the old man paused vividly, looked at the old ghost without blinking, his body kept trembling, and his mouth trembled for a long time before he said: "Yes?" Is it Big Brother? "

"Fifth Master Song." A sneer appeared at the corner of the old ghost's mouth: "You still know Lao Tzu." "

The old man of the "big brother" was originally majestic, but as soon as he saw the old ghost, his momentum suddenly withered, he shook in place a few times, his legs were weak, and he knelt down, he was very frightened, extremely frightened, as if he saw a dead creditor standing alive in front of his face again.

A group of people immediately became stupid, and they couldn't figure out who the old ghost was, and they couldn't figure out why the palm lamp at home knelt down so well.

"Big brother, when did you come out?" The old man knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and when he looked up, there were tears in his old eyes: "There must be forty or fifty years, brother thinks about the bitterness you think"

At that moment, I saw that the old ghost's round eyes suddenly showed a trace of gentleness and remembrance. I don't know what he remembered, and the murderous aura on his body suddenly decreased a lot.

The old man named Song Baiyi couldn't stop his tears, the old tears were vertical and horizontal, kneeling on the ground and crying, he was very taboo about the old ghost, the old ghost didn't speak, he didn't even dare to stand up, kneeling upright in place.

There was no sound around, only Song Baiyi was left sobbing faintly, the old ghost looked at him silently, and it took a quarter of an hour before he waved his hand and sighed long: "Forget it!" Lao Tzu is on fire, I wanted to take a few of your sons and grandsons under the knife, see that you still recognize Lao Tzu, and you can shed a few tears, so I won't care about you. "

When the old ghost said this, Song Baiyi was relieved, got up from the ground, and personally welcomed me and the old ghost into the village. I didn't expect it to be so easy to get into **, but things are very clear, Song Baiyi is completely looking at the face of the old ghost.

Song Baiyi took us to the big house next to the ancestral hall of the village, which may be the place where the Song family usually discusses things, and everyone else is blocked out. Song Baiyi personally served tea and water to the old ghost, respectful and pious, the old ghost let such an old person serve him, and he was not uncomfortable at all, as if Song Baiyi should do anything.

"Big brother." Song Baiyi sat down opposite us, thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "You came out, who is in Zhenhe now?" "

"Lao Tzu thought that you had forgotten about Zhenhe for a long time, and you have to worry about the fifth master of Song." The old ghost squinted his eyes, leaned half-crooked in the chair, and said: "Lao Tzu has been waiting for decades, and the people who should come don't come, there is no way, and he forced Chen Lao Liu to go to the top shift." "

The old ghost spoke very politely, every word seemed to be with thorns, and Song Baiyi's old face flashed red, but he didn't dare to talk back. I listened to it, and although I was a little confused, I vaguely seemed to understand a little. Once again, I realized that it was not an accident that I first encountered a stone coffin when I was cruising the river with my grandfather, and the old ghost and my grandfather had known each other before.

"Big brother." Song Baiyi asked tentatively again: "Since you came out, what are your plans?" "

"Planning" The old ghost looked up at the roof, stunned, and said slowly after a long time: "Do you remember the locust forest back then?" "

"Brother, brother dare not forget." Song Baiyi's eyes lit up, and he said: "I don't dare to forget it for the rest of my life, remember it in my heart." "

"It's good if you remember, back then, everyone worshiped Master Guan together, lived and died together, Lao Tzu didn't dare to think about it, that was extravagant hope." The old ghost said: "When I came to you this time, I just wanted to ask, is Lao Tzu still talking now?" "

"The one who counts, the eldest brother speaks, and he will always count."

"Good!" The old ghost suddenly sat up straight, his squinted eyes slightly revealing a slit, pointed at me, and said, "You remember this baby for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants him to be the big palm lamp of the Seven Gates!" "
