Chapter 90: The Female Corpse on the River

"Because my grandfather was young at that time, he was doing the work of the platoon for the first time, and he had no experience, so he worked with Changbailong. Although the salary is a little less, at least there are people who use it, and at the same time, they can gain more experience. In mid-July of this year, the Yalu River was flooded, although it was not as good as the once-in-a-century flood, but the wooden raft was definitely not able to be released. ”

At this time, the owner of the goods sent a letter to him, and he was in urgent need of this batch of timber, and if he put it in the row now, he was willing to pay three times the price when it arrived at the place. At that time, the owner will not follow the line, after the order, the owner will leave, and when it is time to deliver, the owner will wait at the place where the goods are received. ”

"There are many reasons why the owner of the goods should not supervise the work, one is to give the head a sense of trust, and do not supervise others to work, and the other is that most of the owners are rich owners, and they can't bear the hardships of the forest farm, and then for the sake of safety, if the owner dares to take the money to put the row together, then he will definitely not be able to go to the place and become a water ghost."

"Therefore, if the owner of the goods has anything, he will ask someone to carry a letter to the head of the forest farm. As soon as I heard that the main owner of the goods had increased the price, the price of three times really made these workers under Changbailong tempted, but the old boss resolutely disagreed, with his many years of experience, it is very dangerous to release the discharge in this season in normal times, not to mention that there is a flood now, and now it is not easy to kill yourself by releasing the drain, even if you make money, I am afraid you will not have your life to spend. ”

"But these workers under Changbailong got together, and they had to let him agree to come down, and they would earn money for three years by doing this work for one year, and everyone would wash their hands after making this ticket, and stay away from this business of exchanging their lives for money."

"As the so-called good friend does not stand in the way of wealth, Chang Bailong saw that everyone was obsessed with this, so he had no way to refuse, if he didn't agree, if this matter spread, no one might follow him to work in the future. What's more, in the past few years, the Japanese have been making more and more trouble every year, and it is not easy to earn this money. ”

Now that the matter has been decided, everyone immediately began to act, the wood has already been cut down, and it is piled up on the wood yard not far from the river, and the long white dragon leads everyone to start building wooden rows. The method of tying the wooden row is very particular, the thicker wood should be placed at the front end of the wooden row, and the thin one should be placed at the back, so that the draft of the wooden row head is relatively deep, and it is more stable to put up. ”

"Each piece of wood should be washed forward in the thin part of the canopy, and the thicker part of the root part of the tree should be washed back, so that the method of the wooden row has been explored by the carpenters themselves for many years, so that the whole wooden row will not be supported when it encounters the reef at the bottom of the river where the water is relatively shallow. Even if it is supported, the stone is only held up in front of the raft, and the worker can easily turn the raft around and avoid the stone. ”

"In a few days, a wooden raft more than 100 meters long was tied, and this time the main amount of wood was really a lot. When Changbailong chose an auspicious day, he followed a dozen workers and rowed a wooden raft towards Dongdan in the lower reaches of the Yalu River. The workers who didn't follow the wooden raft waited for the white dragon to come back and then settle the bill with them, and my grandfather was also on the wooden raft at that time. ”

"The Yalu River, which is usually turquoise, has turned yellow from flooding, and the water on the river is very fast, and there are always some furniture and trees and other debris washed down from the upper reaches of the river. Everyone also drove cautiously on the river, trying to find some places where the water flow was gentle, because the water level was relatively high, so there was no need to worry about the wooden raft hitting the underwater stones. Two days passed like this, but there were no accidents. ”

But the next night something strange happened. Generally speaking, when you put the wooden raft, you don't put it at night, because the Yalu River is not wide, and there are many shallow places, if you put the raft at night, the view is not good, if you are too close to the shore or enter the shallows, it is easy to let the wooden raft run aground. At night, it is usually anchored and stopped. ”

However, because this time the work was more anxious, Changbailong found two very experienced people to drive the platoon, and walked forward in the dark by the moonlight at night. In the middle of the night, Changbailong was woken up and asked him to take a look at the end of the row, saying that there was a strange thing, and he looked over and saw that something seemed to be glowing white on the water in the distance, and he had been following the wooden row, but the distance was too far to see what it was. ”

"Seeing that the thing was still far from the wooden raft, and that it was gone by daylight the next day, everyone didn't care. But the next night, the thing appeared again, and it was closer to the wooden row, and this time the people in the row could see it clearly, it was a female corpse dressed in white, and the long black hair spread out and floated on the water, and with the ups and downs of the water, the big handful of black hair moved up and down. ”

"The people in the row didn't have the heart to sleep at this time, they all gathered at the end of the row, looking at the female corpse, this time because the female corpse was relatively close, everyone found that the female corpse did not shine, but everyone could see it clearly in the dark night, and they didn't know what the reason was."

"It's the first time everyone has encountered this kind of thing, others have asked the white dragon what it is, what to do, the white dragon is also very surprised, there have been floods before, the people who put the wooden rafts have hit the coffin, but most of them are washed out of the tombs upstream. At first, the white dragon thought that this was a flood that drowned a person who was swept down by the flood, but when he thought about it, something was wrong. ”

"If it was just a corpse, why was it that the female corpse was not there during the day, but at night it came out on its own, and why was it clearly seen in such a dark night? Seeing a sense of foreboding spread among the people in the row, Changbai Long reassured everyone, saying that it might be a corpse washed down by a flood, and told them not to worry. ”

"The next day, the female corpse disappeared again, but this time the people on the wooden platoon searched carefully, and there was indeed no trace of the female corpse. But on the night of the third day, the female corpse followed behind the wooden platoon, and it was even closer! It's only a few meters away from the end of the row. ”

"As long as the people in the row stand on the wooden row, even the woman's eyelashes can be seen clearly. I saw that this woman was very delicate, but her whole face and skin were miserable white, wearing a white dress, and her eyes were wide open, staring at the direction of the wooden row without moving, as if she could see through the people on the row in the dark night. ”
