Chapter Seventy-Two: The Lotus Woman
Lao Yu showed half of his body, like a blood gourd, and when he saw me and Maitreya, he stretched out a hand with difficulty and grabbed it towards us. The gurgling sound never stopped, and I took a step towards Maitreya with a crowbar, and before I knew it, my back was already soaked with sweat.
Neither of us dared to move, because we didn't know why Lao Yu became like this, but after staring for half a minute, I suddenly saw that Lao Yu seemed to have a hand around his neck. The hand was white, clutching Lao Yu's neck. Lao Yu wanted to crawl forward, but he couldn't catch it, and he froze in place with that hand for a while.
Giggles
Lao Yu's voice gradually carried an indescribable pain, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes dimmed a lot, but his hand was more persistently moving forward. After all, he is a former soldier, with strong physical strength and a tough personality, and he has become like this, but he is still resisting.
I felt a sense of fear and chill that I couldn't stop spreading through the cabin. Lao Yu crawled hard, but his body only moved a few centimeters forward, and from behind the two kneeling figurines, he slowly stretched out a hand and grabbed Lao Yu's shoulder. Lao Yu couldn't make any sound at all, half of his body twitched in pain, and he was dragged back behind the kneeling figurine little by little. I could only hear the faint grinding of his fingers against the plank, and by the time the whole person was dragged back, he was left with two hands, still clutching back and forth.
"What's behind the kneeling figurine!" I was so nervous that my palms were covered with sweat, and I clenched the crowbar again, staring ahead without blinking.
"I don't know!" Maitreya was also very nervous, and when he was nervous, he would swallow his saliva involuntarily, he put the flashlight into his waist, grabbed the crowbar with both hands, and said to me in a low voice: "If you are afraid, you go out first." "
"Who's fucking scared"
Boom boom
Before I finished a sentence, there was a sudden chaotic sound of soldiers behind a row of kneeling figurines, and the kneeling figurines blocked the view, and there was a dead corner behind them, and I couldn't see clearly. The sound was like the scuffling of something rolling in the back, the crashing planks of the ship. In less than a minute, Lao Yu, who was covered in blood, once again desperately climbed out of the two kneeling figurines, this time, he was almost successful, his body was close to the plank, his hands and feet were messy, and the upper half of his body suddenly jumped out of the kneeling figurines.
But the moment he rushed out, my nervousness suddenly reached its peak. There was a woman lying on Lao Yu's back, a woman with long hair, and her two hands were tightly grasping Lao Yu's neck. The woman's belly was so big that her face was almost completely covered by hair, and through the gaps in the hair, I could see her eyes, and her legs were weak.
I really can't describe what kind of eyes it was, it was like two holes dug into a piece of dead flesh and two gray fish eyes were stuffed in. The corners of the woman's mouth were covered with blood, and her lips flipped to reveal two rows of fine teeth like knife teeth. I can't tell what it is, but she just lay on Lao Yu's back, and the scene was extremely weird.
"Dude! I didn't want to scare you, but now that this thing has come out, I can't hide it. Maitreya spat a little saliva into the palm of his hand, held the crowbar with both hands, and walked briskly towards Lao Yu, while not looking back at me: "This woman came out of the iron cage of the hatch, and she is a lotus woman who is raised!" "
When I heard this, my heart thumped.
In the past, on the beach of the Yellow River, the three religions and nine streams gathered, and there were many people who walked the rivers and lakes. There is no royal law on the river beach, killing a person is as simple as cutting a grass, sometimes the two sides fight, and the winning side catches the prisoner, and even bothers to kill people with a knife, tying a stone to the prisoner and throwing it directly into the river. The captive was stoned, and when he entered the river, he sank to the bottom of the river, and this way of killing people has been called "planting lotus" over time.
There is another kind, that is, before the liberation, in those villages and towns on both sides of the river, if there was a woman who did something immoral, the people of the same clan would discuss it after worshipping the ancestral hall, and there would be a good chance that the woman would be pulled out and sunk into the river. These things, it is estimated that many people have heard of them, and they are called dipping pig cages in the south, and they are also called planting lotus flowers in our family.
Lighting sky lanterns, planting lotus flowers, burning people alive and drowning people alive are all very cruel tortures.
The lotus woman mentioned by Maitreya is also called the big-bellied ghost, which is also a kind of evil art that is transmitted from the Yin Mountain Road to the thirty-six side gates. Specifically pick the kind of innocent woman who is pregnant for ** months, don't say anything, after being caught, she is directly stuffed into an iron cage, the cage sinks into the river, and when the pregnant woman is half drowning, she is fished out, let her breathe, and then sink again, that kind of woman is generally very able to survive for the child in her belly, back and forth for at least three or four days, and the tortured ones really can't hold on, some can't get up in one breath in the water, drown, and some are unbearable, and they die in the iron cage. Anyway, no matter how you die, you will die a miserable and unjust death. People who often deal with feminine things know that among all the dead corpses, the pregnant woman who was tortured to death with her belly was more miserable than the female ghost who hung herself in red clothes, with two lives in one body and resentment.
When the pregnant woman dies in the cage, the people of Yinshan Road will do some rituals, move their hands and feet, sink the cage into the stagnant water and raise, in their black words, this is called raising lotus, and the female corpse in the cage is called the lotus woman. This kind of thing has a long reputation, and it is more difficult to deal with than the Iron Claw Floating Corpse. The lotus woman does not recognize people, as long as the cage is released, she will be harmed when she sees people. When the butcher of Lu Chinese New Year's Eve the sixth side door, he took a dozen of his subordinates to take a bath in the bathhouse, and the door was blocked, and two lotus women were put in, and one of the dozen men died left, and the pool water was dyed red.
"I know it's the lotus woman! Don't go yet! I saw Maitreya rush to Lao Yu in a few steps, pinching the crowbar and following him, while shouting to him: "Do you die!" "
Boom!
Maitreya looked wilted, but at the moment he was fierce like a tiger, holding the crowbar and slashing it over, the crowbar in his hand was a whole steel bar, the force was strong and fierce, and the lotus woman on Lao Yu's body was smashed out.
"Dude." Maitreya withdrew his hand and looked behind a row of kneeling figurines, probably to see if there were anything else, and said to me: "This boat was originally embedded in the bottom of the river, if no one touched it, it probably wouldn't float up on its own, but even if it did, it wouldn't be able to float all the time, and if you miss this opportunity, you will never know what's in the boat." "
As she spoke, the lotus woman who was smashed away was like a gecko, with her huge belly sticking to the plank of the boat, and she quickly crawled over with her hands and feet. Maitreya spat a little saliva into the palm of his hand again, without fear, rushed towards the lotus woman, and said to me without looking back: "It's already this time!" Take out the mirror on your chest! "
"Dog's day" I was suddenly shocked, did this thing already know that the Zhenhe mirror was hanging on me? What does he mean by seeing through but not speaking?
But now is not the time to pursue this, I pulled out the Zhenhe mirror from my clothes, this mirror is too old, and the power is not as good as before, so I casually took out the small knife on my body, cut my fingertips, and dripped a few drops of blood. When the Zhenhe mirror saw the blood, it seemed to be alive, and the mirror was full of red light. I rushed over with Maitreya with a crowbar, but there were figurines on both sides of the cabin, and the two of them couldn't spread their hands and feet when they were huddled together.
Maitreya was fat, but his movements were very sensitive, and with a few blows, he hit the lotus woman all the way to the left side of the cabin. The lotus woman's strength was great, and it seemed that she couldn't be broken, so the heavy crowbar smashed her several times, and she trembled and crawled over again. Maitreya turned around and stepped on the back of the lotus woman, but before the crowbar in her hand could be smashed down, the lotus woman suddenly bent over, like a soft snake, her waist twisted very strangely, and gnawed on the back of Maitreya's calf.
Maitreya couldn't stand on his feet at that time, took a step back, and wanted to get rid of the lotus woman, but the lotus woman bit very hard, Maitreya had no way, and used a little force, this time, the flesh on the calf was suddenly torn off by the lotus woman, and the blood was dripping, and Maitreya's face suddenly turned green, and he shivered in pain.
I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I rushed over, and the Zhenhe mirror on my chest flashed red, if it was an ordinary dirty thing, I didn't dare to get close to the Zhenhe mirror, but the lotus woman was really fierce, and the eyes like a dead fish suddenly showed out in her hair, and she opened her mouth at me on the ground, and the flesh on Maitreya's leg was still stuck between the sharp teeth, like a vicious wolf that was deterred by a shotgun, and did not dare to pounce, and did not want to retreat. I felt my scalp tingle, and I smashed it hard with a crowbar, and the lotus woman quickly climbed against the plank, probably trying to bypass me and continue to attack Maitreya. The crowbar in my hand was smashed into the air, I used a lot of strength, and I was suddenly numb by the shock, lost the crowbar, and pulled out the ghost whip, the tip of the whip touched the ground, and wrapped one of the legs of the lotus woman.
I don't know where this thing got so much strength, I couldn't hold it at all, I was pulled forward and ran forward, and in the midst of danger, I raised my hand to hold a kneeling figurine, and I could barely hold it down. But before I could catch my breath, the lotus woman, who had been chasing Maitreya, suddenly turned around and crawled over, struggled with her body, and pounced on me. The momentum was incomparably fierce, before I arrived, the lotus woman had already shown a mouthful of fangs, I couldn't stop it, and quickly pulled over to the back of the kneeling figurine, the lotus woman bit the air all of a sudden, and I could even hear the clattering sound of the fangs rubbing against the stone statue.
"I'm coming!" Maitreya took advantage of the little time just now, quickly tied up the wound on her leg, and then smashed a crowbar to the back of the lotus woman, the lotus woman failed to dodge, she just turned around by leaning on the figurine, and the crowbar in Maitreya's hand stood straight against her neck, and pressed desperately on the figurine.
Maitreya's strength was quite great, and in this way he pressed the tip of the crowbar against the lotus woman, and gradually pierced her neck. I was about to make a move, and I wanted to use the ghost whip to wrap the lotus woman around the figurines. The lotus woman was held against her neck, desperately trying to struggle, her two miserable white hands grabbed and grabbed, and her mouth was exaggeratedly grinning. But the crowbar was relatively long, and Maitreya held the other end tightly, and the lotus woman could not catch him.
Suddenly, I heard a whoa-wow-wow, and thought it was the big-headed toad that had climbed onto the boat, but at the same time as this cry sounded, the lotus woman's big belly cracked, and a face bigger than a fist stretched out from her belly. Although the face was small, it had all the facial features, wrinkled like a little old man, and jumped out of the belly of the lotus woman, and pounced on Maitreya's neck.
