Chapter 34: The Past (2)

Yes?!

Bai Kai reacted suddenly, and hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and entered the house.

I didn't come out until I got dressed in the middle of the night.

The master and apprentice didn't say goodbye to the owner, and walked straight out of the courtyard.

Everyone looked at the backs of Bai Kai's master and apprentice.

The eyes of the owner of that matter were very complicated, and I don't know whether it was because of what Bai Kai said made him feel guilty at this time, or because Bai Kai exposed the ugliness of the family and he was a little resentful.

Qin Yiheng and I immediately followed.

Out of the yard there is a secluded path outside. Bai Kai's master and apprentice followed the path into a small poplar forest.

When we followed up, we found that there was something unusual about the black in the poplar forest.

It was as if all the light had been absorbed by the sparse branches, and the visibility was very poor.

Fortunately, the back of the white master and apprentice can still be vaguely distinguished.

We'll walk one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Out of the poplar forest, there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Although it was still night, the light suddenly returned to normal, and the people were still a little uncomfortable.

Outside the poplar forest, there is a river tens of meters wide. The river is calm, shimmering at this time.

At a glance, I saw several small wooden houses built by the river, and Bai Kai and his master were standing on the trestle next to the house and talking to people.

I guess. This should already be another incident about Bai Kai.

I walked over and took a look, and sure enough, it was.

Bai Kai was no longer so thin at this time, and put on the white shirt he was used to.

His master was also obviously a little older, and his hair was thinning a lot.

Bai Kai was squatting by the river and smoking, and his master was pointing and asking about the other person.

Just listen to Master Bai Kai and say, fisherman, you can tell us carefully about the whole thing.

Good! When you are old, our family will be relieved. Otherwise, the family can't afford it.

A man who looked at him in his fifties replied.

The man was thin and seemed to be somewhat malnourished. Dressed in tattered clothes. At first glance, it is a perennial life outside in the wind and sun.

The man pointed to the river and said, "You may know that this peach estuary is downstream, and it is a narrow bay. So a lot of stuff upstream is going to be washed up here. Our ancestors were fishers, and in our lifetime, we still live with fishing nets. On weekdays, when the harvest is not good, the young people in the village can go out to work. It's really inconvenient for us to pull a family with a mouth, so we can only follow Taohekou to beg for a bowl of rice.

We're really not losing our conscience! We're going to live too!

Master Bai Kai nodded, as if to show understanding.

The man pointed to a wooden boat parked on the edge of the pier.

As the old saying goes, if you rely on water to eat, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be unforeseen circumstances.

The sun is long, and whoever can't keep it will be swept into the bottom of the river. Over the years, we have seen a lot of corpses that come and go and can't find people's bodies. I don't dare to mix it up.

But it just so happened that some people knew that their family members had fallen into the water, or that some of the little cubs had drowned while playing in the water. When the family finds it downstream, they will come to our family to help with it. Our family guards the mouth of the Taohe River and is most familiar with the water potential here. It's all from the villagers, so I can't help it. We really didn't plan to ask for money at first.

But it comes and goes, which always allows us to salvage the corpse, which is also unlucky. Do you think that's the reason?

That's why we started to collect money with a clear price later. It's not stealing, it's not going to be retribution, is it?

It's pretty simple. The children still have to go to school. You have to use money.

Gotta save money!

Understand. Master Bai Kai nodded.

As if he had finally found a soulmate, the man immediately held Master Bai Kai's hands and said, Master, we can't compare to those young people, we can go out to work. We don't want to do this business. But there's really nothing else to do.

A few years ago, I was still planning that now there are fewer and fewer fish, and sooner or later I will have to move.

But before we could move, our family encountered this incident!

One night, we didn't fall asleep. Run outside to smoke a cigarette. I saw that there seemed to be a school of fish swimming under the river.

A while ago, I heard that Shangtou Township was repairing projects upstream, and the noise was quite big. I'm still wondering if I'm scaring all the fish upstream to the mouth of the Taohe River?

This makes our family run into it, and we must go to the net. It's pie in the sky!

Thinking like this, we can't afford to smoke cigarettes. Hurry up and pull the net to get on the boat.

But as soon as we rocked the boat into the river, the fish were gone.

We drank some on the first night, and we thought it was the wine that was dazzling. But I'm still unwilling, it's all money!

Hurriedly took a closer look around, and obediently, the turtle grandson fish appeared again!

We don't dare to wait, let's get off the net quickly! But this time the net is broken!

This net looks like it's entangled in something! The sound of the bang, the people who listened to it panicked. This boat is shaking, and we almost didn't fall into the water.

Let's use the pulp to pick the net, there are turtles in this peach estuary. The big one is said to be the size of a pot, and it is very strong in the water. Let's suspect that it's a big turtle. This thing, you don't have to be stunned, you can't get it up.

But we just took a look, which is a turtle. It's obvious that it's a person tossing in the net.

Now that I think about it, I must feel afraid, our family has lived by the water all my life, and I have seen a lot of people with good water nature. How can anyone make such a big noise in the water?

But at that time, how could we care about thinking so much, this is a big living person, we can't see death without saving, right?

Hurriedly called the family up, and pulled this man into the boat after playing with his life.

But this man got on the boat and didn't move! Dead over!

We're scared of diapers now, and someone died, so we can't tell.

I immediately wanted to rescue this person, but when I looked at this person carefully, I was already soaked in a buoy. The head was bigger swollen than both of me. It can't be a living person!

But obviously we watched him toss in the water! That's the boss, can the dead still be so tormented?

At that time, no one in our family dared to move the place.

Let's quickly send our wife and children back, and stay away from the corpse to ponder this matter.

We're honest people, and we don't have any hearts. After thinking about it for a while, I still don't know what to do.

If you don't care about this corpse and let it float in the river, you may not know where it will go. You can fool the past. But we can fish it up, and we can't quietly and silently release it into the water again.

The official family doesn't care, this unjust ghost is not forgiving. It is not all said that the corpses caught in the river cannot be put into the water again. said that the corpse was stained with yang energy, and if you put it in again, you will die again, and it will come back and hurt people.

So our family was also scared, so we put the body in the boat and didn't dare to move.

I thought we'd go and report it the next morning.

We didn't sleep at all that night. Finally, when I waited until dawn, I pushed the door and saw that the corpse was gone!

What do you say is this?

We've all asked within a radius of several miles. No one has ever seen this corpse. I haven't heard of anyone drowning. Then you keep saying that this corpse can still be fine on the boat and run away by itself? Could it really be the old turtle in the Taohe estuary who dragged the corpse down and ate it?

Since this happened, we're scared.

For many days, I didn't even dare to go down the water. But that's not the way to go. Let's point to this Taohe estuary to support our family. It's gone, you have to get into the water.

This water is really suffering, but it is fine during the day. At night, there was a clattering noise under the boat, and we lay in the house, and we didn't even dare to open our eyes.

Our family said that it was the corpse that identified our ship as a bed. During the day, the corpse went to the river to wait for people to die as a stand-in, and at night they ran to sleep on the boat!

You always go from south to north, and you always say that this is not scary. So far, our family has decided to move out. But this matter is not understood, and our family is afraid that we will be entangled by this corpse if we run elsewhere. Don't you dare to leave like this. That's why I want your old man to come over and help take a look, great kindness, our family will kneel down and kowtow a few times for you!

So saying, the man fell to his knees with a puff.

Master Bai Kai hurriedly helped the man up, turned his head and asked Bai Kai, don't smoke. Learn to get down to business!

Bai Kai's cigarette at this time had actually run out long ago.

Hearing what the master said, he took out another one from his pocket. He replied with a smile, "Master, I don't have to smoke this cigarette." Isn't this a tribute to the lonely soul and the wild ghost? You've also said that respect is universal. Why don't you come to Root Tobacco Studies?

Bai Kai handed the cigarette to the master.

I ask you, you also listened to the words of the victim just now. Do you hear something? Master Bai Kai asked.

Master, look at you, there is always nothing to do with the exam, can the students not get tired of studying? You have to have fun and educate. If you want me to say, you don't have to listen to him, our family, our family. We're not with him. I'll get on the boat and feel it in a moment, isn't that it? Bai Kai said that one leg had already stepped into the boat.

Hold it! If you are reckless, something will happen sooner or later! Master said with some concern, be cautious, understand?

Understand! Master is right! You have to wear tight-fitting fits, otherwise your legs won't be able to move. Bai Kai said and lifted his pants, and the person still sat in the boat.

The wooden boat didn't look too sturdy. As soon as Bai Kai sat in, he shook back and forth.

I didn't have much research on boats, and I didn't really like fishing. Anyway, personally, this boat feels like a copycat to me. There is an external motor at the stern. It looks like it's rusty. The whole ship is about six or seven meters long, which is very narrow. There was a pile of fishing nets piled up at the bow of the boat. There are two very long paddles on board. I don't know exactly how to row to get the boat moving.

I whispered to Qin Yiheng, do you see what's coming? Is that a water ghost?

Qin Yiheng was very engrossed, and said intently, I don't know. In our current state, our perception of the surroundings is not very accurate. So I can't say for sure, so let's take a look.

Qin Yiheng was talking, and I saw Bai Kai holding the water in his hand. Maybe it's the moonlight, and the whole river looks clear. It seems that you can see the bottom of the river.

Suddenly, I seemed to see something.

In the water, I saw a hazy shadow suddenly rushing under Bai Kai's hand.

After a while, it came back again.

It seems to be following the rhythm of Bai Kai holding water.

Bai Kai said to his master, look. This fish just ate my bait. And then the obedience begins. Fish are better than our eyes! As he spoke, Bai Kai picked up the pulp, and shouted at the fish, Take me quickly to see the things in the river, Lao Tzu can bring mustard. You know.

Bai Kai was very awkward and paddled towards the center of the river.

At first, the fish could still see the outline dimly in its sight, but then it got farther and farther away, and it was completely nowhere to be found.

I could only see the back of Bai Kai in the moonlight, staggering towards the center of the river.

Bai Kai has never been a fisherman after all. Boating is very unavoidable.

So after a long time, he didn't move much.

waited until nearly twenty minutes passed, and then saw Bai Kai stop. Picked up the net and threw it into the river.

After that, I saw a small dot light up next to Bai Kai, who seemed to be smoking.

Master Bai Kai shook his head silently when he saw this on the shore.

The net is sown. But the lake is as calm as ever.

The white cigarettes were all smoked, and nothing unusual happened.

Bai Kai waved at his master from afar and shouted, Master. Nothing is wrong, huh? Did that person lie to us?

Who knew that Bai Kai's words had just reached the shore.

Suddenly, I saw something popping out of the water on the side of the boat.

The thing stayed in the air for a moment, then fell into the water again.

I heard Bai Kai shouting again, damn it! The fish is crazy!

I saw that the fish that seemed to be swimming silently with the white boat kept jumping, falling, and jumping up again.

Rushing to the shore just as soon as I saw it!

It's broken. There must be something in the water. The fish was running for its life. Qin Yiheng said in a low voice.

I sighed, but I didn't have time to communicate with Qin Yiheng.

I heard a strange noise in the river, and the white boat began to shake incessantly. The water under the boat churned, as if it was boiling! Apparently there's something below the water's surface.

Bai Kai finally managed to maintain his balance and did not stumble into the water.

I vaguely heard Bai Kai scolding something, and waved at his master. As soon as the man took off his shirt, he jumped into the river with a leap!

As soon as the splash fell, the others disappeared.

Master Bai Kai shouted several times on the shore to Bai Kai to come back, but no one responded. He had to anxiously ask the fisherman again, did you have anything you didn't say? Now that human life is at stake, you must not hide it from me.

The fisherman looked aggrieved and quickly shook his head.

Master Bai Kai seems to be an honest man, not like he can break blindly.

I had to walk quickly to the edge of the trestle and keep pacing back and forth.

Qin Yiheng and I also walked to the trestle.

I saw that on the empty river, only the small wooden boat shook gently. There wasn't even a splash around.

Even I'm starting to get a little anxious now.

I don't know if what we're seeing in this monster's belly now is a past plane or another existence.

I'm worried that if Bai Kai really dies today, then Bai Kai, who was originally in the belly of this monster, will also be done.

I said, Qin Er, can we help in any way?

Don't worry, Bai Kai is a master. Qin Yiheng comforted me and said, look.

Qin Yiheng raised his hand and pointed, and I saw something strange. The boats on the river seemed to be moving slowly. It's like being slowly pushed by an undercurrent. If you don't look closely, you really won't notice.

Master Bai Kai had apparently discovered this.

He stared at the ship. And I saw that the ship was getting closer and closer to the shore.

About ten meters from the shore, it stopped.

I couldn't help but get nervous. I didn't dare to blink my eyes. It's the feeling that you know what's going to happen, but you're always on the lookout for it to happen.

Finally, just when everyone's attention was completely drawn to the ship.

I heard a scream! A man leaped up from the water and half of his body was in the boat. The boat shook violently in an instant, and at the same time, the sound of Bai Kai came out! Master! Did it scare you? You'll have to hold on!

Master Bai Kai's face was expressionless, but I still felt that he was relieved in his heart.

Master Bai Kai said angrily, how old are you? Still playing this little kid's trick? Come ashore, what's in the water?

Bai Kai pointed towards him. It's it! Then the whole person shrank out of the cabin and back into the water.

Swam out from the side of the cabin.

I took a look, and I couldn't help but sigh.

I saw that under Bai Kai's body, it seemed to be riding a white flower or something, and that thing held him up, like a weird swimming ring.

While I was wondering, I suddenly recognized what it was.

The man gasped.

Is it an individual? Bai Kai riding a man? is he Taro Urashima? After a while, he was recruited by the river god as a son-in-law?

Drive! The white open fake model fake gesture. Slowly, they finally approached the shore.

Wait for him to come ashore. He didn't bother wring the water out of his trousers, but went back and lifted the man to the shore.

Immediately I heard the cry of the fisherman next to me, this is it! This is the corpse!

Don't talk nonsense. Bring a knife. Bai said without replying. Leaned down and straightened the corpse. He said to his master, Master. This thing is really heavy.

Master Bai Kai was silent and nodded slightly.

I finally saw what the corpse looked like. It was indeed an unrecognizable corpse that had been blistered. The corpse was very swollen and had a high belly. Barely a man could only be seen. As for the age, it is impossible to distinguish the appearance.

The fisherman quickly took the knife and handed it to Bai Kai in a panic.

The first time Bai Kai was not satisfied with the knife, because the fisherman brought a kitchen knife. Then I changed to a knife that was supposed to kill fish, which was sharper. He then flipped the knife in his hand, and with a single blow it opened the corpse's stomach.

As soon as the corpse was cut through a small opening, a large amount of sewage gushed out of the wound in an instant.

A foul smell suddenly hit my nose.

I covered my nose and looked, Bai Kai was rummaging through the sewage. When I looked closely, I almost threw up in disgust. I saw that in the sewage, there were a large number of bug-like things writhing constantly. Bai Kai picked one up casually and let the master take a look. I said to myself, it turns out that this thing really exists.
