Chapter 18: The Ghost Ship
As the minutes passed, their goals were still uncertain, and they lingered in place for a long time, not knowing what to do. I'm a little puzzled, if you want to steal, it's not the first time, can I be so hesitant, or because there's nothing to steal here. Just thinking about it, my shoulder was put on someone's shoulder, and my heart was about to spit out, and I just wanted to open my mouth to scream, but I was immediately covered by a hand, and my heart was not good, and I was finally going to kill for money!
Thinking about it, I hid it so well, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is impossible to be discovered, and these people are all in front of me, I have been staring at it for so long, unless they will teleport, how can I not know, could it be that they have already prepared to make a move "praying mantis catches cicadas, yellow finches are behind"?
I was thinking about whether to kick or top the plate with this man, and this man hurriedly threw me to the ground, and my burly body weighed me down.
"Twelve, don't make a sound, it's my ......" The voice floated in my ears, and as soon as I heard it, I knew it was my good buddy, Junko.
I secretly screamed "unlucky", how did I let this reckless man get mixed up again.
"Go away, I'm ...... Can't breathe...... Angry......"
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry......"
When he rolled off me, I let out a big breath and asked, "Why are you here, don't go to sleep at this time, what are you doing with me?" ”
"Whoever follows you, I am responding to Chairman Mao's call and carrying forward the spirit of bold exploration and adventure."
"Blind fart, when did Chairman Mao tell you about it, when you went to the thatched house?"
"I won't talk nonsense with you, to be honest, I've followed them all the way, and a few people from the neighboring village are doing ghosts?"
"What, I thought it was the victims, so what are they looking for?"
"Hehe, I don't know, you usually educate me, and this time I will educate you."
As we spoke, the figures ran off into the distance, and we followed. After running for a while, I saw the "ghost boat" in the village.
In fact, the "ghost ship" is an ordinary trading ship on the surface, I heard the elders in the village say that it was abandoned by the Japanese soldiers in the mid-40s, at that time, in order to transport strategic materials, to avoid people's eyes, so the ship was disguised as an ordinary trading ship, after the surrender of Japan, the Japanese soldiers hurriedly withdrew, for some reason they stayed, stranded on the beach.
When I was a child, the boat was our playground, and it was a novelty for rural people who had never seen the world. As soon as they were free, the children in the village would get on the boat to play, and it was inevitable that they would bump and bump, but the good times did not last long, and such a thing happened to everyone's surprise.
The cause of the incident was about a year ago, when a little boy from a neighboring village came to live with his grandmother in the village. In the middle of the night, his bed was empty, and he didn't know where to go when he left his house open. This saddened his grandmother, and while looking for it, he asked people to go to the neighboring village to inform his parents. At that time, no one could hide the fact that there was a little bit of chicken feathers, and soon the whole village was alarmed and helped to find it together. It was not until the early hours of the morning that the child was found on the deck of the "ghost ship", but he had been dead for several hours, his whole body was swollen, as if he had been soaked in the sea, but there was no trace of water on his body, and even the mouth and ears were clean, without half a grain of sediment, which aroused everyone's suspicions.
When things came to this point, it would not be easy to find the "murderer" quickly, and the child's parents were angry and poured all their anger on the "ghost boat", carrying a sledgehammer and smashing the hull of the boat. Since then, there have been incidents of ghosts outside the village, but the children in the village were frightened, and no one dared to approach them for a long time, and that place became a forbidden place to "talk about the tiger's color". After calculating the time, I haven't been near here for more than half a year, and when I came here, my legs froze involuntarily, and I don't know if it was because I heard too many rumors, so we stopped more than ten meters away from the "ghost boat". Seeing this group of people entering through the hole in the lower part of the hull, Runzi also wanted to follow in, and when she turned around and saw that I had no intention of following, she deliberately mocked and said: "Haha, isn't it cowardly, you scholars just think too much, and you are afraid of the front and the back, so I can't go by myself." I saw that he looked down on people and got angry, but now I want to go back, and when I see him in the future, I don't have the face to raise my head, so I pretended not to care about his words, and the conversation changed and asked, "First of all, you have to tell me what these people are doing?" "Well, don't tell me." "Earlier today, my father and I passed by the neighboring village, and guess who I saw was the family of the child who died a year ago. "What, these guys are?" I didn't expect it at all. "Nonsense, otherwise I'd be better than I would have brought this up for something." "What's so strange about this, maybe I want to come and worship!" "Things are far from being as simple as you think......" Junko turned her head to look at the hole under the "ghost ship", and saw that no one else was in or out, and continued: "You don't know, my father told me that today is the first anniversary of his son's death. "That's it, I guessed right!" Sure enough, it was Runko who made a fuss. "It's easy to worship alone, I don't sleep most of the night to come here to watch their house worship the dead, it's not idle! Listen to my father, their family turned out to be people from the Nanyang side, there are ancestral evil arts, as long as the whole corpse is kept intact, a full year later when the death taboo can resurrect the dead, but the price of this evil art is a life for a life, whether it is true or not, no one has ever seen it, if it wasn't for my father who was a soldier in Fujian back then, I heard the local villagers say, no one will believe it! "I don't know if it's his explanation or environmental factors, I faintly feel a chill down my spine, I put my hands in my arms, bow my head and ponder." What's the matter, aren't you scared by my words again? Junko sneered a little. I barely looked up and asked him, "What are these guys looking for on the beach?" "Actually, what they're looking for isn't anything special, it's shells." Junko said unhurriedly. "Shells, just kidding, this thing still needs to be found, it's everywhere!" A series of question marks appeared in my head. "I don't know, my father told me that if you want to perform this evil art, you must rely on the mussel shell after natural death, and you must also shine in the moonlight for a long time to absorb the essence, and take the best of seven hundred and forty-nine days." I asked, "Really, it's so amazing, I've been picking up shells for so long, I don't know it's still useful." Junko explained again: "Of course, we ordinary people look fun, but to them, they are treasures. "Don't say more, I don't want to miss such an interesting thing, if you don't go, I'll go." Junko urged me again.
