Although Jinbao's voice was very low, I heard it clearly, at that moment, I didn't know if I was surprised, or what, in short, I seemed to be shocked by his answer, and my already chaotic mind was suddenly confused.

"Jinbao, you say, did my father ask you to do this? Where is he now? "

"I don't know." Kimble shook his head.

"When did he tell you? When did you see him? "

"It was the day when the villagers filled the river." Jinbao brought me out of the hole under the puddle, and we stopped beside the puddle, and he continued, "I saw your father that day." "

When Jinbao was pulled to fill the river, he was actually unconscious, and he was completely chaotic. If it hadn't been for the aftermath, he might have died in the Yellow River. Jinbao didn't know what happened before he fell unconscious, he didn't have any impression, and when he woke up, he realized that he was in a huge stone coffin, which was floating on the surface of the river.

In the coffin sat a man in red clothes, who looked very scary, and Jinbao didn't dare to look at him, as if he would lose his longevity at a glance. Except for the man in red, my grandfather was also in the coffin, and Jinbao was stunned and couldn't say a word.

The ghost-like man in red asked Jinbao if he wanted to live. Jinbao is just a countryman, he doesn't have much knowledge, and he has been frightened by these messy things, and when the old ghost in red asked, he nodded desperately. My grandfather didn't say a word, but reflexively jumped from the stone coffin into the water, and soon after, he dragged Jinbao's daughter-in-law in one hand and Jinbao's doll in the other, and carried them out of the water to the stone coffin.

Grandpa didn't say anything else nonsense, and explained what Jinbao should do in the future. Only by doing so can he save the life of his family, and in that situation at that time, Jinbao didn't dare to say a word.

"My father, what do you want you to do?"

"You want me to change people's clothes here, change their clothes, go to the hole in the ground over here, wait until I have enough, and then rush to the river at night and let them go into the water."

What Jinbao wants to do is actually very simple, but after doing it for a few days, he can't stand it anymore and wants to run away with his daughter-in-law and the doll. However, soon after he escaped, his daughter-in-law suddenly screamed, fell to the ground and rolled her eyes, as if she had committed a sheep's madness, and her whole body convulsed and foamed at the mouth, and Jinbao was frightened. His daughter-in-law fainted for about an hour, and when she woke up again, she was stupid and didn't know why.

This made Jinbao realize that running away is not a way out, the first time she escapes, her daughter-in-law will become stupid, and if there is a second time, the consequences will inevitably be more serious. For the sake of his wife and the baby's life, Jinbao dispelled all thoughts, people were forced to this point, and it was already their only wish to live.

"I don't want anything else, tell me to do it, I'll do it" Jinbao shed tears and said, "If the family can live, that's it, okay"

I was silent, because I vaguely felt that the grandfather who had been with me for more than ten years didn't seem to be as kind and simple as I thought. The seventh grandmother's story once again surfaced in my heart, on that night decades ago, on the bank of the Yellow River, what happened to my grandfather and grandmother? The grandfather who raised me, what is he? Is it human? Or maybe it's just like Grandma Seven said, not human?

I was distraught, sympathetic to Kimbell, and full of suspicion about my grandfather's affairs. I didn't dare to run away with Jinbao, it would be a harm to him.

"Shui Yanzi, this is not the place for you to stay, let's go, hurry up and find a place to stay." Jinbao wiped away his tears and said, "You must know that it is a great blessing to be alive." "

"Where do I go? And where can you go? I asked myself, but I couldn't get an answer, and the loneliness in my heart instantly became very thick, distressed, and depressed.

"You can go anywhere, don't stay here, it's not a place for people, you can get out from here." Campbell lifted his oil lamp and said, "I still have something to do." "

After his wife's incident, Jinbao no longer dared to slack off, and worked very hard. He showed me the way, and then walked to the clearing on the west side of the village, where the seventy or eighty men in white were still waiting. Jinbao shouted in front of the crowd, and the men, like a group of unwielding husks, followed Jinbao leisurely, all the way to the hole next to the puddle, and slipped into it one by one.

After reading this, I was trembling all over, and the weirdness was indescribable in words. I didn't want to stay any longer, and as I turned to leave, Campbell called out to me.

"Water Lady." He lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "If in the future, you can see your father, talk to him, let our family live, I have nothing, the baby is still young, he can't be tied here for the rest of his life like me." "

"Don't worry, I'll say, Jinbao, it's okay, it's going to get better, it's going to be."

"Let's go, it's almost dawn." Jinbao waved at me, he was a little reluctant, but he still gritted his teeth and waved me to leave.

I stayed in this deserted village for almost a night, I don't know if the people who are still guarding the entrance of the village, according to the direction of Jinbao's point, I trotted all the way away, along the way I can also see a lot of low grass houses, I ran from the open space at the west end of the village to the east in one breath, and when I was about to leave the village, the sky was just overcast.

I walked far away without looking back, and only after leaving the village did I slow down and stop to wipe the sweat from my head. When I inadvertently looked back at the deserted village that I had walked out, my eyes instantly became glazed, and my head suddenly grew larger, buzzing as if it was about to explode.

All the huts were gone, and in the misty sky, I saw a mass grave. Countless graves that have been piled up for I don't know how many years have been piled up, one by one, densely packed in a large area. Only at the edge of the mass grave, there were two dilapidated small grass houses, and faintly, I seemed to see the figure of Jinbao, who was holding a pickaxe, digging hard beside the new graves that had not been buried for a long time.

I immediately understood what was going on with the people who were squatting by the door in the rows of small grass huts yesterday. Are those the villagers of a deserted village? Not at all, they were all newly buried in the mass graves, and what Jinbao had to do was to dig up the corpses, drive them to the hole under the puddle, and then drive them to the river.

I can't forget the experience of this night, and I still remember it vividly. Some time ago, I revisited the old place, and I deliberately went to the mass grave hill, which was gone, and it had completely become a beach, where someone planted a large area of watermelons. When I saw the bright red melon, I couldn't help but feel nauseous, but I didn't dare to say anything, and I ran away.

When I left the mass grave, I was completely confused about the road under my feet, but the decision in my heart was even more determined. I had to find my grandfather, and in my opinion, looking for him was not only looking for my only relative, but also looking for an answer. Those things are only possible for me to figure out when I find him.

I sneaked to the riverbank last night, and the big boat of the Pai Jiao, along with my small boat, was no longer visible. I lost my boat and couldn't afford a new one, so I had to walk on foot along both sides of the river. The speed slowed down a lot, and I walked on the river beach, and for the first time, I felt that this familiar river was so long.

For the next ten days or so, I didn't encounter any more danger, but I didn't find anything. In these days, there have been some strange things in more or less more than a dozen villages along the river, some people have died inexplicably, but more are still poultry and livestock raised in the village, running towards the river like crazy, and they can't stop it. During this month, the water in the upper reaches was heavy and it rained frequently, and the flood season of the Yellow River was approaching, and the villagers did not dare to go into the water to catch the livestock. Often, after a night, the animals that jumped into the river would resurface from the water, but all that was left was a skin, and the flesh had been sucked dry by something. These things frightened the villagers on both sides of the strait, and the people who usually walked by boat rested at home, trying to avoid the limelight.

I have to walk and look for it at the same time, so I walk slowly, and in more than ten days, I have walked about 130 or 40 miles to the north, which is already very far away from the Xiaopan River. I feel that I may have to walk for a long, long time on this road of searching, and there will be no results in three or five days, and it will definitely not work on two legs. I didn't have much money, so after thinking about it for two days, I decided to go to the river to catch something like other boatmen, and if I was lucky, I could get a valuable parallel cargo, and I could buy a small boat in exchange for some money.

The ancestors of the river family, relying on the river but not eating the river, never salvaged parallel goods to live, sometimes fishing for things, is a last resort, most of the things will be thrown into the river intact. I didn't have a boat, so I had to find a suitable place on the shore, build a wooden rack, and then set up a small winch and cast the net down. That kind of place is best a cliff near the river, the terrain is relatively high, and it is easy to operate. I walked for another two days and finally found a suitable place, which was a stretch of cliff near the river, very low, but enough.

I rushed towards the edge of the cliff on the riverbank, climbed up first, and got acquainted with the general situation, but as soon as I climbed to the top of the cliff, I smelled a disgusting smell, which was still a corpse smell, and the smell was so strong that it could almost knock people up. I quickly covered my nose, and for a moment my heart shook, I suddenly remembered where this riverside cliff was.

Corpse Cliff, it must be a corpse cliff.

There is no Yizhuang on both sides of the Yellow River, sometimes the boaters out of kindness, they pick up the floating corpses in the river, put them on the river beach, and wait for the families of the deceased to claim them, but some of the corpses are floating from far away, and the family will not be able to find this side for a while, and the corpses can not be parked on the river beach for a long time, so after being unclaimed for a few days, they will be moved to a relatively high cliff wall and hanged, so that it will not affect the normal entry and exit of the boaters on the river beach.

I secretly said in my heart, I wanted to vomit after being smoked, and I immediately planned to give up this place and turn around and want to leave. But before I could actually turn around, I suddenly heard a strange sound.

The water on the cliff side of the river is very loud, and the water level of the river has begun to enter the flood season, and the water is tumbling and lapping to the shore, and the water is surging. But the strange sound came from the cliff face one after another, and it was clearly audible.

I listened carefully, and after a while, I suddenly felt that it was like the sound of a fingernail scratching a stone, clicking, and the roots of the listener's teeth itched.
