The third round, the corpse of a baby by the river
"Huh? What's wrong? I looked at him inexplicably, and Lao Tan also turned his head.
"Don't you know that there are no people in Huiping Village now?" The boatman looked at me inexplicably.
"No one? Eh, my dad said that there are still a few families in the village, and he asked someone to help us look at the old house. ”
"It was half a month ago, the two old families in the village died, and the remaining two families also moved away, and now there is no one, you go, it is estimated that you will not be able to eat."
I thought my dad should have arranged everything, but when the boatman said this, I began to murmur in my heart.
"Lao Yuan, it seems that your preliminary work arrangements are not in place." Old Tan came over to me and said.
Seeing our faces, the boatman said, "I see that you are still going to live in the town today, and going back to your hometown is nothing more than to grave the old man's house, and I will come to pick you up early tomorrow morning, and I will not charge a penny." You are from Huiping Village, you should know that Lujiashan is so scary. Just a few days ago, seven or eight young people took my boat to go to Lujiashan to play, but they called me crying at three o'clock in the middle of the night, saying that they had seen ghosts on the mountain and asked me to pick them up. Anyway, it's not peaceful on that hill all along, and now there's no one left, so you'd better not stay there at night. ”
What the boatman said is true, the Lujia Mountain where my hometown is located has always been a haunted place. The mountains are full of old forests, and in some places, even the people in the village dare not go up. What impressed me the most was the bottomless black cave on the mountainside, which was not far from the way down the mountain, but no one had ever entered it. I used to think about going in with Liu Er, but as soon as I walked in more than 20 meters, the light bulbs in the two flashlights burst inexplicably, so scared that I almost peed my pants.
"I think the boatman is right, let's go again tomorrow." Lao Tan looked at the mountain covered by the old forest and muttered.
I had this intention, but I was born on that mountain, and I was about to go back to my hometown, but I was scared by a few ghost stories, which is a bit of an overstatement. So, I frowned at Lao Tanyi: "Tsk, look at you bear-like, you are still a highly educated person, my father and his buddies may have been waiting in the village, and besides, I am familiar with that place, and I want to hit a ghost, I met it more than ten years ago." ”
The boatman saw that I had made up my mind, so he did not persuade me again. However, when we got off the boat, he still left us a phone number and said that whenever we called him, he would come right away.
I didn't pay much attention to it, but it wasn't until his ship had sailed away that I felt the chilling silence in the valley. Although it was afternoon, the sun was not shining much into the dense forests of the mountains. There is only one way up the mountain, and I don't know if it was built by people in the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty with stones one by one. Looking up, Lu Jiashan, who was extremely familiar in his memory, was a little indifferent at the moment.
I was about to call Lao Tan on the road, but I turned my head and looked, good guy, this dog day has already been shaved in the river naked.
"You're sick, aren't you?" I put down my bag and started scolding.
", Lao Tzu is here to travel, it's a hot day, can't you take a shower? Besides, we've been in the car for a day, so we can't go to see your grandfather in disgrace, this water is so cool," he continued to splash in the water.
It is the Zhou River that rises, and after crossing the confluence area of several hundred meters, the water of the Ba River is revealed by the turquoise of the mountains. Seeing Lao Tan jubilant in the water, I couldn't help but start to undress, wanting to get into the water to cool off.
As soon as I took off my T-shirt, I heard an "ahhhhhh I thought he had been crushed by a stone in the water, but he picked up a lump of things from the water.
It was white, and at first glance it didn't look like anything. Lao Tan wiped his face, "Damn, what the hell, pretend to be on Lao Tzu's head." As he spoke, Lao Tan carefully examined the thing. At this time, I saw that the end of the thing was round, and there were black filaments on it.
I was about to say that it looked like a doll, when suddenly, Old Tan said, "Uh! He screamed, his eyes widened, and his whole face distorted.
I was stunned by his call, and then he threw the thing in his hand at me, and the wet thing rolled twice, and then stopped at my feet.
"What's your name?" I was going to scold him a few more times, but when I looked down at the object, I fell to the ground in fear.
Before I could react at first, when I looked closely, the white thing in front of me turned out to be the corpse of a baby. It was a female corpse, her face rushing at me, one eye gone, the other bulging. Because of Lao Tan's moment just now, that eye began to fall out of the socket little by little, and I don't know which blood vessel behind the eye was pulling, and at the last time, that eye slowly hung in the female corpse's expanded mouth.
I was almost stupefied, and it took me a long time to react, and then I turned my head and started retching.
Lao Tan was even worse than me, he was hit on the head by the corpse of the baby girl, and he held it up and looked at it for a long time. Right there at this point, I'm vomiting while lifting my pants.
The two of them squatted on the side and vomited for a long time, and finally eased up a little, and I turned my head and scolded Lao Tan. "Damn, why are you throwing that thing at me!? Wouldn't it be nice to throw it into the river! ”
"Damn, I was scared to pee at the time, where did I think so much." Lao Tan was obviously more uncomfortable than me, and after speaking, he turned his head and vomited.
When the two of them finally stopped, Lao Tan looked at the baby girl's body from a distance and asked me, "Eh, Yuan Jie, what do you say we should do?" Throw her back into the river? ”
I didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, and looking at the terrifying and hideous expression on the baby girl's face, I wanted to turn around and leave. However, the death in this big bus river was certainly not of this little doll's will, and I don't know which mad Wang Ba Lamb threw a baby into the river.
But I can only say this kind of justice to myself in my heart, and after thinking about it, I took out my mobile phone.
"You, you want to call the police?" Lao Tan was naturally afraid of getting into trouble, and his tone obviously disagreed with me doing this.
"What else can I do if I don't call the police? Human life is at stake, we can't help it, but if we hand it over to the police, it may be a clue. ”
Call the police if you have something. This kind of urban thinking is already ingrained in my mind, but I never imagined that it would be the last time I thought of "going to the police".
I picked up my phone and said, "Tsk, why don't you even have a signal?" ”
Lao Tan snorted, "This kind of barren mountains and old forests, it's strange if there is a mobile phone signal, Lao Yuan, I think we should think of another way." ”
I had made up my mind to call the police, but there was no signal on my phone, so there was no way. It's summer, and if you leave this baby girl here, you'll definitely be taken away by the wild dogs in the mountains for half a day. So, Lao Tan and I decided to dig a pit and bury her, although it was sloppy, but it was better than her corpse in the wilderness.
It just so happened that we had a German sapper shovel in our equipment, so Tan picked up the shovel and dug a hole to the side, while I wanted to find a piece of cloth or plastic to wrap the body of the baby girl. I couldn't find it for a long time, so I took out a T-shirt in my bag and walked over.
The baby's face was so frightened and unbearable that I walked around the back of the corpse. Just as I was about to put the T-shirt over the corpse, I was stunned. I saw what seemed to be a drawing on the back of the baby girl's corpse.
"Eh, old Tan, come and see, there seems to be a pattern on the back of this corpse." I hurriedly greeted Lao Tan.
Lao Tan straightened up, "Big brother, I beg you, let's bury it up the mountain quickly." With that, he began to dig again.
But I was still fascinated by the pattern on the back of the corpse. The back of the baby girl's corpse suddenly appeared pale red, and at first glance, it looked a bit like the head of a door god, and the lines were extremely exaggerated, and it seemed to be a rising flame. When I got closer and looked closer, I realized that she had an eye painted on her back that was open in flames. It wasn't painted, it was a tattoo.
I was in a daze, and I couldn't think of any reasonable reason to tattoo a baby girl who was only three months old at most.
Not only that, but I immediately noticed something even more quirky.
"It's summer, how can there be no smell on the body of this baby girl? Even if it's soaked in water, it's not right, if it's normal, she, at least she should be covered in maggots. ”
I whispered to myself, my eyes looking around involuntarily. The flies and mosquitoes by the river can be counted according to the legion, but this corpse has been sitting here for a while, and not a single fly has pounced on it.
Suddenly, an indescribable strangeness rose in my heart, and when I looked at the fiery tattoo on her back, I even felt a kind of evil.
Then, instead of using my T-shirt to wrap the body, I changed it to a plastic bag. After hastily burying the body, Lao Tan and I didn't want to stay here for a few more moments, packed up our things, and the two of us headed towards the mountain road.
