XIII. Bridge piers
Dad opened the door and took the lead and walked out first, and the voices of He Guoyun and Zheng Gangqiang were still lingering at the door, "That's obviously a web page, how do you know that it's a 112-minute Sora Aoi movie?" Have you ever seen something on that page. ”
"Don't talk too much." Zheng Gangqiang returned with some embarrassment.
"No wonder I can't find my wife all the time, it's so obscene."
"If you talk more, I'll rip off the half of your clothes." The man named Zheng Gangqiang was indignant, and then as the voice fell, I knew that they had gone away.
He Guoyun: I don't know how he got into this PCW organization, but there is no doubt that his reasoning ability and observation are among the best, but after all, he is still a child, and some things are not perfect enough, such as the badge, such as the notebook, and the things he knows are said unabashedly, and so on. But that's what I know.
Immediately I went back to my room, opened my notebook, and wrote on the notebook with a ballpoint pen: "I remember, I remember those things in the notebook of the person named He Guoyun, my memory is very good, I remember all those things." Then I started writing it down.
"Women represent the dead and the negative. The puppet represents the masculine and the soulless dead. The comparison between the two represents the two poles of yin and yang, and it is also a way to explain that the soul of the person who has just died enters the soulless puppet, if you can see a round hole in the grip of the hand of the woman who comes to the door and the hand of the puppet, and there is an eyeball placed in the round hole, which is also called the yin pupil, which must be the eye of a baby born in the ghost moon. "I remember that the door in that notebook was split in many straight lines, and each was noted, and the note was just as I remembered.
But unfortunately there is only so much written in those two pages, and I don't know anything else. For example, the role of the door and the role of the woman and the puppet. And one thing that also occurred to me was what I saw on the bridge at the bottom of the river, what was it? Could it be what these people are looking for?
In the evening, I waited until 11 o'clock to hear my father open the door, and I hid in the crack of the door of my room and watched him burrow into the study with a tired face, thinking to myself what they had been discussing for so long. At the same time, I decided that I would see the scene where they cleaned up the river tomorrow. If they were really looking for something I found in the river, what was the use of it for them?
As I lay on the mat, it was as if I had gone back in time to that summer night, when a fat man slept beside me. I was talking about the gods and ghosts endlessly, and I wanted to say, "Hey, you're noisy!" Or you go to bed and sleep! But I didn't say it, and it wasn't until now that I remembered that "sleeping next to a fat man is really cool." ”
The next day, my father went out very early, and I deliberately got up a little late, and then casually lay a little thing on the dinner table and went out, until I reached the bridge of the Xiu River, I found that it was already densely packed with people, all of them wearing white vests. Showing strong pectoral muscles, many of the country's civil servants at that time were part of the return from the army, so it is no wonder that those three people would look for them as "coolies." ”
Soon I saw my father walking down with a shovel first, the steel bridge was still not far from him, and I saw that he walked very carefully in the mud every step, maybe it was because the incident in the previous years was too much movement! The person who died that time was a teacher, and the authority to speak in the county town as a teacher at that time was also quite large, so his family kept stabbing the matter in the city. It is said that life is to see people, and death is to see corpses. And he also stirred up the people in the county, saying that the government must help eradicate the ominous things under the river. But I don't know why they didn't pursue the matter again the next day.
"Then we are only representing the party and the country to carry out the construction of a socialist civilized county today, and open up a good situation." Daddy bragged down there again. He stood in the mud in galoshes and said, "Since the reform and opening up, China's environment has always been one of our key programs, in order to allow the people to live a good life, comfortable life, our garden-style county is also in full swing, and today we will lead by example from the most bitter, tired and dirty place to start rectification." Also to everyone a wonderful home. ”
When the applause rang out, several large excavators also drove down from the river, Dad silently glanced at the middle of the river, dug twice and walked back, I watched all this in the crowd but secretly pinched a sweat for Dad, thinking that if the huge river god just jumped out of it again, then the consequences are really unimaginable!
The amount of work in the morning is relatively large. It was the first day of excavation, so they had to quickly clean up the silt from the riverbank, so Dad didn't come home, and I saw that there was nothing worth paying attention to, so I turned around and went back to find a place to eat. Glancing at the bridge, the three of them were still watching, showing no signs of leaving, what was the reason for such a big sun to keep them here? Could it be that they are preparing to go down to investigate as soon as there is any movement below? It's funny, the river is so wide that we don't know what year or month it will take until we clean it up.
I thought to myself, "What three fools. He took a thatch in his mouth and walked back slowly.
The sun is shining at noon, and I don't have the slightest intention of going out, in fact, for those things, I still prefer to sit in front of the computer, maybe this is the fate of an otaku in my life! But just then I heard a commotion outside the house, and then several voices rang out, "Go, go faster." ”
"What's going on?" I opened the balcony window and looked out, only to see a crowd of people suddenly appear on the street under the scorching afternoon sun. They seemed to be running towards a place, and I stood on a high place and watched them run in the direction of Xiuhe at this time, and my heart suddenly thought that something could be wrong? No way? I was crazy about my mother's death, and then I pushed open the door and rushed out without changing my shoes.
When I arrived at the bridge over the Xiuhe River, it was already crowded with people, but fortunately, I saw my dad and those PCW people standing together, and I walked over with a little bit of people, "What's going on?" ”
"Look at the piers below." Daddy gave me a place to stand up.
And at this time, I saw that the old steel bridge under the bridge has been cleaned out, a large piece of silt has been emptied, and the piers of the bridge are also exposed in front of us, in memory this is the first time I saw the complete part of the old bridge, because as early as 1949, the Kuomintang troops evacuated and blew up the bridge, and today they actually dug the bridge completely.
But it's not just this, it's something at the piers of that bridge.
"Corpses." Densely packed corpses, sucked to the piers by an unknown force, the number of them is staggering.
"There are some steel needles on the piers of the bridge that should have been inserted into the silt, but after they were destroyed, those needles turned out of the mud with the collapse of the bridge, and it is precisely because the direction of the reverse is against the flow of the river, so this river will be nailed to it every year when corpses float over here, in fact, you must know that the water system of the Xiu River has a total area of 10,967 square kilometers. None of you know how many dead people are passing through here, so there's nothing to join in, so a few leaders, you should evacuate the crowd! In this age when science is the main force, there is nothing that science cannot explain, although this time it is just a coincidence. I heard the man named He Guoyun say.
"No, it's more than that." The man named Zheng Gangqiang interrupted He Guoyun's words, and then stretched out his hand to take a brand-like thing handed down below: "There are too many things in this world that cannot be explained. Then he showed us the sign and said to one of the people next to him, "Say what you know!" ”
At this time, I slowly withdrew my gaze from under the bridge, and saw a person in a police uniform standing in front of me, that person seemed to be very cold, his whole body was trembling, and his mouth kept muttering something, but it didn't take long for me to find that he was not cold, or was afraid of something, he was holding his head with his hands and trembling as if he couldn't make a mistake. "Do you know this girl?" Soon Zheng Gangqiang took out the sign, and I found out that the sign was a school card, and the rope of the school card was rotten, but the photos inside the sign were as good as new.
"Waterproof PE shell." As if to see my doubts, the man named He Guoyun spoke.
"This is my daughter who has been buried for 3 years." The man suddenly roared and knelt down, "After she drowned in the river 3 years ago, our bureau used all the manpower and it took 2 days to salvage her body, but it was true, I really buried him, and I personally pushed him in the crematorium that day." ”
"And whose body is it under the pier?" Zheng Gangqiang said coldly, "Tell me, did you have a school badge when your daughter's body was recovered?" ”
"No, only a corpse, not even clothes, but it's really my daughter! I can't be mistaken. As he spoke, the man seemed to fall into painful recollections.
"And whose body belongs under the pier?" Soon a rotten school uniform and a golden necklace were delivered. And the officer took one look at the necklace and the whole person was stunned. (To be continued......)
