Chapter 55: Collecting the Corpse (I)

"Suicide by martyrdom." After hearing this, Hu Xiaolan fell into silence, and after a while she spoke again, "If I show you my face, are you willing to help me?" ”

I originally wanted to say that since you are that Xiaolan, I will help you no matter whether you show me your appearance or not, but after thinking about it, I still didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Of course." ”

The fog was thicker, and I could clearly feel the dampness in the air, Hu Xiaolan floated in the thick fog, and her green figure swayed gently.

There was no wind blowing in her face, but her long hair slowly parted strangely, revealing a pale and bloodless face that was almost transparent.

There was no decay, no bones, and the face was not as horrible as I had imagined, but it was very different from a normal living person.

The long hair parted for a while, and then gradually closed again. Hu Xiaolan said calmly: "Is it okay?" ”

My mind is still stuck on the face I saw just now, and I understand why female ghosts such as Xiaobai and Xiaolan always like to cover their faces with their hair. It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and even if she becomes a ghost, this nature still exists and cannot be eliminated.

"Do you look stupid? What a daze! Xiaobai's voice sounded in my ears, and I came back from my stunned and said to Xiaobai: "When will you let me see what you look like." ”

Xiaobai replied: "Don't think too beautifully about being a man. ”

Hu Xiaolan was still floating quietly, although her long hair covered her eyes, I seemed to be able to feel the earnest meaning emanating from her eyes, so I said, "It's okay." How can I help you? ”

Hu Xiaolan stammered: "He, in the lake." Hopefully, you'll be able to get him up. ”

When I heard the phrase 'he's in the lake' again, my brow furrowed. The 'he' in Hu Xiaolan's mouth should be his boyfriend, the unlucky boy who drowned in Xiaolan Lake more than ten years ago.

When Hu Xiaolan said that he was in the lake, did he mean that his body was still in the lake? However, legend has it that a professional salvage person dived into the lake for a long time to salvage the boy, but did not find the boy's body. After Xiaolan jumped into the lake, the school pumped water, but in the end it was unsuccessful.

It is rumored that there is a bottomless pit at the bottom of the lake, which connects to the river outside. And now Hu Xiaolan, who has just woken up after ten years of sleep, said that the boy's body is still in the lake, and if I want to fish him up, I will naturally be suspicious. When I had a question, I naturally had to ask it, so I asked, "The one you said is still in the lake?" ”

"Hmm." Hu Xiaolan replied.

I asked, "But ...... back then," I recounted the doubts in my mind. Hu Xiaolan was silent for a while and said, "I, I don't know how to answer the question you asked." All I know is that he's still in the lake. ”

I asked, "Where?" ”

Hu Xiaolan replied: "In the lake." ”

I asked helplessly, "Where is it in the lake?" ”

Hu Xiaolan moved, raised her hand and pointed behind me, and said, "It's over there." ”

I looked back suspiciously, looked at Hu Xiaolan again, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?" ”

Hu Xiaolan floated to the shore and walked towards my rear, saying as she went, "I'll take you, you, come with me." ”

I was completely confused, didn't she say that the boy's body was in the water, and where was she going to take me now?

Looking at Hu Xiaolan's back, my mind moved, could it be ......

More than a kilometer out in the direction behind me is the famous river. It is rumored that there is a bottomless pit at the bottom of Xiaolan Lake that connects to the river, and the bodies of Xiaolan and the boy have not been found back then, and people suspect that their bodies were swept into the bottomless pit and into the river outside.

Could it be that the place where Hu Xiaolan is going to take me today is Dajiang? The boy's body, now in the river?

Although I was guessing in my heart, my feet did not stop, and I followed Hu Xiaolan quickly. As Hu Xiaolan walked forward, the mist seemed to be born on her body, moving with her.

Two minutes later, Hu Xiaolan stopped and stopped on the edge of a small pond. There are several ponds of different sizes in the police academy, although they are ponds, they are called 'lakes', such as Xiaolan Lake, and Willow Lake in front of you.

Liuhu Lake is much smaller than Xiaolan Lake, just on the edge of Xiaolan Lake, a distance of about 100 meters.

"He's in this lake." Hu Xiaolan turned around and said to me, "I can feel it." ”

"In this lake?" My brows furrowed even tighter, I thought Hu Xiaolan was going to take me to Dajiang, but I didn't expect to come here, the boy in the story was drowned in Xiaolan Lake, how could his body appear in Liuhu? As far as I know, Liuhu Lake and Xiaolan Lake are not connected.

"What are you thinking?" Xiaobai's voice rang out.

My heart was full of doubts, I looked at Hu Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, are you sure you are here?" ”

Hu Xiaolan nodded. I took one look at Willow Lake, a small pond the size of a basketball court, because a school leader named it Willow Lake, so there were many willow trees on the shore.

I thought about it for a while, and I made a decision. Although there are some strange and incomprehensible things about this matter, since Hu Xiaolan is so sure, then I will believe her statement for the time being.

The boy's body was in Liuhu, which can also explain why the salvage team couldn't find the body in Xiaolan Lake back then.

Because of that beautiful love story, because of my appreciation for the most affectionate girl in the story, I decided to help her fulfill her wish.

"Give me a day." I said to Hu Xiaolan, "Tomorrow I will find a way to fish out Liuhu." ”

Hu Xiaolan stood facing me for a while, then suddenly bent down and saluted me, and when she straightened up, the mist dissipated, and her figure slowly disappeared into the night.

The frost fell sharply, and the night was as cold as ice. I stood on the edge of the willow lake, silent in thought. After a while, I walked to the edge of Xiaolan Lake and watched the lake quietly.

Could it be that it is not the big river that connects to Xiaolan Lake, but the Willow Lake?

I'm a very curious person, and when I have a doubt, I want to find an answer. If it weren't for the low temperature and the cold water of the lake, I would have jumped into the water and investigated.

"You don't want to jump into the lake, do you?" Xiaobai's voice suddenly sounded in my ears, startling me, because I thought she was already gone.

"Why haven't you gone back yet?" I asked casually.

Xiaobai said: "I also sleep in a coffin when I go back, it's too boring." It's still interesting to follow you. ”

I asked, "What's the point of following me?" ”

Xiaobai's voice was smiling: "Of course it's interesting." I don't know if you're a bad person, there are always all kinds of strange things around you. With you, I can see my kind, and it's quite interesting to deal with them. You know, when I was alone before, I couldn't meet a ghost for many years! ”

"Why do you sound a little sad about what you say?" I was speechless and said, "Where did you live before?" ”

Xiaobai replied: "Wandering around, living in the wilderness is more common. ”

I wondered, "In the wilderness? There are so many cemetery graves in the wilderness, and you can't meet a ghost? ”

"Alas," Xiaobai's sighing voice rang out, "I don't know why this is happening. However, from what I have seen in my travels over the years, my kind is still more crowded in the towns. ”

I asked, "What is the reason for this?" Why are there more ghosts in places where there are more people? ”

In my general concept, ghosts and spirits live in the wilderness and inaccessible places! The stories on TV are all written like this: A scholar went to Beijing to take the exam, encountered heavy rain in the deep mountains and mountains, and then hid in an uninhabited temple to escape the rain, met a certain fox spirit, or a dead ghost. Then perform a song or singing or crying or self-inflicted legend of Liaozhai. So Xiaobai said that there are no ghosts in the wilderness, but there are many ghosts in places with many people, and I can't accept it for a while.

Xiaobai replied, "Probably... Desolate place outside a town... It's so lonely. ”

When I heard such an answer, I couldn't help but be silent. Xiaobai was also silent and didn't speak, but I knew she hadn't left.

After a while, I took out a mobile phone from my pocket, it was my old mobile phone before, which was trampled by Liu Jun and them, and now it has been repaired, the screen has been replaced, and the entire money for repairing the mobile phone can buy a new one, but I still asked the merchant to help me fix it.

I looked at the phone screen and said, "Since you are bored alone, come to me when you are free, I can talk to you, look, I will help you fix all the places where you live!" ”

Xiaobai didn't speak, and I couldn't see her, so I couldn't judge the meaning of her silence, and continued: "I won't charge you rent this time. ”

Xiao Bai's voice finally sounded: "This magic weapon of yours no longer has the kind of mana that it used to be." ”

I touched my old phone and said with some disappointment, "Is that so?" It doesn't look like it's been fixed yet. ”

"But..."Xiaobai's voice became brisk, "I have no problem in it, but I can come and go as I want, and it can't trap me anymore." ”

I put my old phone in my pocket and said, "That's the best, I don't want to trap you." ”

Xiaobai didn't answer, I felt that she had left, I couldn't help but shake my head and walked towards the dormitory. When I got to the dormitory, Xiao Hei was lying on the phone with someone, and I listened to a few words and judged that he was talking to his mother on the phone. Since Da Fei and Xiao Xu were killed, our bedroom has become a murderous house.

Naturally, no one wants to move in to live in the dormitory where people have died, especially the 'murderer' has not been brought to justice, and there are not many classmates in the dormitory next door who come to visit the door, so these days, Xiao Hei and I have lived quietly and lonely.

I turned on my computer and logged on to the internal campus network of the Police Academy, trying to search for information about Xiaolanhu many years ago, but after searching for a long time, it was too long after all, and the Internet was not popular back then, so I didn't find any useful information in the end. Yes, it's just the love story I'm familiar with.
