Chapter 91: Blood Nest
"All the people in this row are scared, Changbai Long can't see it, if this thing is not disposed of, sooner or later something will happen, this female corpse is getting closer and closer to the wooden platoon day by day, and won't this female corpse lie on the wooden platoon tomorrow night!
But no one in the platoon dared to touch the female corpse, and in the end, there was no way, Changbai Long forced my grandfather and another person named Dazhuzi to carry the female corpse to the shore and bury it.
The long white dragon let the wooden raft lean towards the shore and set off the anchor, and my grandfather and the big pillar first threw out the rope noose and put it around the neck of the female corpse. Then he waded waist-deep to the shore and pulled the female corpse ashore.
The two men found a place on the shore and dug a pit, and then one carried the head of the female corpse, and one carried the female corpse's feet, and threw the female corpse into the pit.
As soon as my grandfather touched the feet of the female corpse, he only felt a bone-piercing cold air spread from his hands all over his body, and he touched the female corpse for a moment, and my grandfather shivered with cold on this very hot summer night.
Looking at this female corpse, he felt very strange in his heart, this woman's posture was normal, there was no puffiness or traces of river immersion, it was exactly like a living person, but she was already a dead person. But why do such people float on the river?
In the villages and towns near the Yalu River, every year I hear that there are people who drown while swimming, and most of them can't find their bodies after they are drowned, because they will sink to the bottom of the river, until the corpses are soaked in the river water, they will float to the surface of the water and be found. But this female corpse showed no signs of swelling at all, and there were too many irregularities in her body.
And just when the two of them filled the pit with soil and covered the female corpse, my grandfather accidentally noticed that the female corpse, which was originally expressionless, turned into a smile at this time. Under this discovery, his hair stood on end, and he quickly quickened the movement in his hand, and after a while, the two of them finished burying the female corpse, and then waded back to the wooden raft.
In the next few days, the female corpse never appeared again, Chang Bailong and the platoon workers put down their calculations, after all, when they encountered such an evil thing, everyone's heart was a little hairy.
Seeing that he was about to reach the destination of the release, something suddenly happened on this day. At that time, my grandfather and another person were driving in the front row, and suddenly, the water level of the Yalu River rose sharply, and a flood peak rolled over, although this flood peak was not big, but it also made the whole wooden raft into the rapids, up and down the bumps.
Just when Changbailong commanded everyone to stabilize the wooden raft, the wood under the feet of my grandfather and another person suddenly separated from the wooden raft, probably because the previous torrent caused the rope to tie the wood to break.
The two of them instantly fell into the yellowing water of the Yalu River. Once the person on the wooden raft falls into the river, it is basically a life of death. Because when the wooden sign is driving, it will form a kind of whirlpool between it and the turbulent water, and the force of this whirl is very large, once the person is sucked in, the person will basically be caught at the bottom of the row and can't get out at all until he drowns.
At that time, my master only felt that there was a great force to pull him under the wooden raft, and then all parts of his body kept hitting the bottom of the wooden raft, and he used so much strength that he could not swim to the edge of the wooden raft, just when he was hit with all kinds of meat and vegetables, and thought he was dead. In the haze, a woman in white took his hand and dragged him to the side, and then my grandfather didn't know anything.
The next day, when he woke up on the wooden raft, other people said that he had a great life, and one hand stretched out from the back of the wooden raft and grabbed a piece of wood, and the others pulled him up, but the other person did not have such a good life, and never came up again, it is estimated that it was more than lucky.
After recovering for a day and feeling the strength in his body, my grandfather asked them if they had seen the woman in white when they rescued themselves. My grandfather thought maybe he was hallucinating.
A few days later, the wooden platoon arrived at its destination without any danger. Although the wooden rafts are sent to Dandong, they generally do not enter Dandong City, because the wharf is generally used to park ships. Something as large as a wooden raft can prevent other boats from mooring once it reaches the dock.
Therefore, the wooden rafts are generally parked on a flat beach more than ten kilometers upstream of Dandong. On the shore is a large flat area. This kind of place is a blood nest dedicated to the wooden rafts.
Blood nest is another name given to this kind of place by the person who put the drain. Because a large number of wooden rafts are delivered here every year, the workers get paid for their hard work for a year. After working as a row worker for a year, even chopping wood and putting wooden rows, even if he was a small worker with the least, he could earn more than a dozen oceans, which was already a lot of wealth at that time.
In other words, the place where the wooden rafts are delivered is a place where rich people gather, and when rich people gather here, some other industries will naturally accompany them. Here, there's basically everything you can imagine to spend your money.
First of all, lodging and eating and drinking were indispensable, and the workers always had to sleep here, and after the work was delivered, the old boss always invited the workers to eat and drink. In the place of accommodation, there are two people turned actors who come to perform to beg for life, a place to eat, and there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
These are just places to spend a small amount of money, there are casinos for those who like to gamble, there are kilns for those who like to play with women, there are big smokers, there are smoke houses here, and so on, and so on, and there are many places to spend money like this. Many workers lost all their hard-earned money overnight, and some workers did not come out day by day after entering the kiln.
As the saying goes, the heroic grave of Gentle Township, not to mention these workers, are not heroes. The vast majority of people need to relax after a year of hard work, but once they start, they can't stop living in the mountains and forests all year round. After all, these things here are too attractive to them.
Therefore, the vast majority of the hard-earned money of the workers who have worked hard for a year is sucked away here. They wanted to go home and enjoy the happiness after this year, but looking at the empty pockets, they had to go back to their old jobs and continue the next year. Cycle after cycle, year after year. All the hard-earned money of the row workers was filled here, so this place, at that time, was called the blood nest, which was the place where human blood was sucked. ”
