In 52 years, several major events occurred in Lushi County, coincidentally these things are more or less related to the grave team, the above mentioned two floating corpses were found in the river, which is one thing, and the temple fire behind Bears Ears Mountain This is the second thing, to say that this third thing is the most noisy, and it also attracted the county public security, these things happened in the east and west, and it seems to be messy but because of a person and linked together, first sell a pass, don't say who this person is, we have to talk about these things from before and after the time happened.

Two floating corpses were fished out of the small river next to the dormitory of the grave driving team, both of them were half-sized, and they had not been dead for a long time. It's not strange that people drown in the river, every year, but the strange thing is that no one came to collect the corpse, and there is no one nearby who has fewer children. Now it is a dry season, and the river is almost at the bottom, and it is impossible for it to rush down from the upstream, so it must have died in this river.

The people in the neighborhood were idle and had nothing to do in the daytime around the river to watch the excitement, and the grave team came back from digging the grave slope in the evening, and before they arrived, they heard the commotion in the dormitory, and when they walked in, they heard that they were drowning two children, and they were in the small river next to the dormitory.

When the third child heard this, he found a stone pier to sit on and said to someone: "Hey, I say, even if that river is like a ditch now, can it drown people?" Just last night, I wanted to take a bath, but when I got into the water, I found that the water was rolling, and I wanted to swim and pull the stones at the bottom of the river, and it was not easy to drown myself. ”

As soon as the third child said this, he didn't feel very good, and he didn't know if there were any floating corpses among the people present, if he happened to hear the cool words said by the third child, he probably had to come over and slap his big mouth.

But no one has come to collect these two floating corpses, and there are no fewer people in the vicinity. Then someone said, "Isn't it from our village?" Is it possible that a child from a nearby village came here to play and drowned in the water? ”

Lao Wu squeezed in from outside the crowd at this time to take a look, and when he saw the appearance of the two floating corpses, he felt that there was a problem, so he said: "I think, this is not like drowning while playing in the water, you see this one is still wearing clothes and pants, and there are shoes on one foot, who goes into the water to play and still wears shoes?" ”

The people present knew Lao Wu and knew that he was the captain of the grave team, and they had dealt with the grave all day long, and there were many dead people in contact with him, plus this person spoke well, what Lao Wu said reminded these people.

But one of the people present asked: "Old Wu, you said that they didn't die playing in the water, how did they die?" Won't the other one return his bare butt? Could it be that one of the children choked on the water, and the other went to save it, only to drown together? ”

Lao Wu squatted down and turned his head sideways to look at the faces of the drifters in the two rivers, and when he heard someone ask him, he replied: "The water level of this river has been decreasing since a few days ago, and it is estimated that it will be gone if it doesn't rain in a few days. ”

After Lao Wu's analysis, he reacted and remembered that the river was too shallow, but if he said that he was not drowned, there was only one possibility, they were killed and thrown into the river.

When there was a homicide or something like that in this remote place, it was all solved by the village chief in the village, and the county town set up a public security several years ago, but they didn't know what the public security was doing, and they were afraid that they would be the same as those who used to be on errands, and they knew how to collect money if they didn't do their jobs, and they never went to find it.

Because this matter involved a murder, someone ran to find the village chief. The village chief was an old man of fifty or sixty years old, hunched over and wearing a blue old man's hat, and he walked over from a distance with his hands behind his back.

When he came, everyone didn't talk about it, and quickly made a way for the village chief to come in. The village chief walked slowly to the two river drifters and took a look, then turned his head to look at the people around him who were watching the excitement, and shouted: "If there is anything to see, go home, don't gather here, no one needs to stay behind." ”

The village chief is just an ordinary-looking little old man, but his prestige in the village is very high, he said that let everyone disperse and go home, and no one dared to stay and leave, only a few people from the grave team sat on the side and hung in the wind.

Lao Wu usually has a good relationship with the village chief, the village chief's surname is Niu, Lao Wu usually calls him Lao Niu, this time when he saw the village chief coming, he said to him: "Lao Niu, you are here." ”

The village chief Niu didn't answer with his hands behind his back, just nodded, looked at the two river drifters lying on the ground for a long time before asking Lao Wu: "These two children don't look like they are from our village, you say they were killed?" ”

Lao Wu saw that this might be a murder and didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he hurriedly said: "Hey, I didn't say that they were killed, I just said that they didn't look like they were drowned." ”

Xiao Qi answered at this time and said: "If you say that Brother Wu is killed, you will say that you are not drowned." ”

The old face of the village chief Niu was worried about a bunch of folds, turned his head to look at Lao Wu and said: "The county has divided a bunch of things for me and haven't gotten it yet, why is this thing happening again, I will go to the county to open a meeting, hey Lao Wu, let's find an empty coffin behind your dormitory for the first two children, and wait for the county public security to come and check in two days." ”

There were a lot of coffins of bones dug up from the grave behind the dormitory of the grave team, and they were not missing these two, so they carried them to the back to find an empty coffin, put the two river drifters together, closed the coffin lid and went back to eat.

Recently, the weather has been too hot, and I am almost sunburned under the sun, and it hurts when I lie down at night, and I can't sleep after tossing and turning.

The fourth child really couldn't bear it, so he went out with a bucket bare, fetched a cold well water from the well in the courtyard, stood at the door and poured it several times from head to toe before he felt better, and then sat in the yard and watched the stars in the sky, dried the water on his body and went back to sleep.

Not long after he fell asleep, the fourth child suddenly felt something cool and touched his face, which made him a little itchy, so he reached out to scratch it, and just put his hand on his face and touched something wet.

The fourth child opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the ground, and suddenly woke him up. The bare-bottomed floating corpse that had been placed in the coffin in the backyard was now lying on its back on the floor of the house, still tilting its head sideways as if looking at itself. No matter how bold the old man is, he can't stand it, and he can't hold back his voice and screams.

"Oh, my mother-in-law is coming!"

This shout woke up the other sleeping people, and everyone was startled when they got up, and the floating corpse on the ground was white and swollen in the water, and even in the dark of the night, they could see the silhouette of a white human.

Seeing this, Lao Wu hurriedly took out a match and slid a lighted oil lamp, and now he could see clearly that it was indeed one of the floating corpses that was originally placed in the coffin in the backyard.

Several people looked at each other, their hair was about to stand up, and Xiao Qi's courage was not small, but at the moment he was a little frightened, so he asked the others, "What's the matter?" What's the matter? How did the floating corpse get into the house? “

Hu Dazhu also said: "Is this a corpse fraud?" Let's find something to prepare, in case this dead kid wants to stand up, we'll just knock him on the head, let him lie back how he gets up, what do you think?. ”

At this time, Lao Wu was the most calm, he was not as flustered as others, and he didn't believe that the river drifter could still cheat the corpse after being dead for several days, so he poked the oil lamp over to illuminate it, and found a few footprints with water, all the way from the back room to the door.

Lao Wu took a deep breath and thought: "His grandmother's, could it be that this dead child really cheated the corpse and climbed out of the coffin and walked in?" ”

As a result, after a long time, there was a dead man on the ground who didn't react at all, and the brothers saw that there was nothing wrong, so they put on their clothes and went down to the ground to carry the river drifter back to the backyard.

The coffin in the backyard, which originally contained two floating corpses, was opened at this time, and the coffin lid didn't know where to go, and the strangest thing was that the other floating corpse inside was gone.

When the brothers of the grave team saw this situation, they hurriedly went to look for it, but after looking for a night, there was not even a single hair, and the original string of footprints on the ground had already dried out. This incident is so evil that the two dead children actually climbed out of the coffin at night, one entered the house, and the other didn't know where to run.

When I went to the grave slope to dig the grave the next day, I was slumped one by one, and I didn't sleep sleepy after looking for the floating corpse all night, and because the floating corpse was able to walk into the house by itself, how scary it was to say.

I finally insisted on finishing today's task, and I called it off early and went back to the dormitory, and some people didn't bother to wash, so they took off their clothes and went to sleep directly on the kang, and didn't eat dinner.

Lao Wu couldn't stand it, he just lay down to sleep as soon as it was dark, and he didn't know anything as soon as his head stuck to the pillow. I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly heard the sound of someone walking, and when he looked up and saw the bare-bottomed floating corpse that was brought back to the coffin last night lying in the house at this moment, Lao Wu was shocked, and a layer of white sweat appeared in an instant.

Lao Wu thought to himself: "It's really a corpse, this is clearly haunted." ”

As a result, as soon as I thought of this, suddenly there was a collision sound from the outhouse.
