Chapter 23: Collecting Corpses in the Shadows
The so-called "yin land" is actually a place where yin and damp qi gather.
Through the guidance of the compass, combined with the mountains around the cemetery, the master soon discovered the location of the "Yin Land".
"Master, what do you mean... Corpses in the water? ”
Zhang Fang showed an expression of disbelief, because the yin place that the master found was a pond in the cemetery.
Will the corpse run into the water on its own?
It's ridiculous in is.
In addition to me and the master, there were four other people present, namely Zhang Fang, the owner of the cemetery, a relative surnamed Zhang who came back to pick up things, and Li Xingli.
Among them, Li Xingli has not spoken, as if none of this has anything to do with him, but five of the seven people who died have direct blood relations with him.
He wasn't sad at all?
It's so abnormal that I can't help but look at this person a few more times.
On the other side, the master was sure that the body was in the waterhole, and after negotiating with the owner of the cemetery, they decided to drive a boat to retrieve the body.
This waterhole is located in the center of the cemetery, before the development of the water in it, and then the cemetery owner made the area expand into the current appearance, there is a boat on the shore of the waterhole, originally a landscape decoration, but I didn't think it came in handy today.
The boss summoned a few security guards and asked them to start salvaging the body in a wooden boat, while the rest watched from the shore.
Time passed minute by minute, and the temporarily captured security guard set up the boat and circled the waterhole several times, not to mention the corpse, not even a single fish and shrimp.
The security guard who retrieved the corpse was a little helpless: "Boss, there's nothing." ”
The boss glanced at the master, saw that he didn't speak, and said, "What's the hurry, keep looking, it must be inside!" ”
After saying that, he didn't believe it himself.
Those security guards can't do anything, what else can the boss do? Keep looking!
I stuck to my master's side and quietly asked, "Master... Is the corpse really in there? ”
The master snorted, "Wait." ”
After another half an hour, just as everyone was discussing whether the master had made a mistake, the boat, which had been driving steadily, suddenly overturned.
"What... What is it! ”
The hull of the ship kept tilting to the right, and the security guards on board couldn't help but get scared.
"Hurry up, get over there!"
Most of the ship's side flip is due to the fact that the position of the boat is too far on the other side, resulting in an imbalance in weight, so it stands to reason that it is good to adjust the weight on both sides of the hull.
But......
When two security guards of different sizes switched places, the hull of the ship not only did not balance, but turned over more quickly, as if there was something pulling there.
In the next second, the entire boat was overturned.
Poof-
The hull of the boat smashed into the water, setting off a large wave of waves, and the four security guards who were originally standing on the boat all fell into the water.
We stood on the shore, but we couldn't help but be taken aback by the accident.
The owner of the cemetery shouted: "What's the matter! Are you alright? ”
Fortunately, the four security guards who were selected to retrieve the body were all swimmers and quickly floated out of the water.
It's okay.
It would have been terrible if the body had not been fished out and a few more lives had been taken......
I glanced up at the sky, but it was clear that there was no wind, so how could a good wooden boat capsize?
At this moment, a security guard who had fallen into the water suddenly shouted.
"Ahh Miscellaneous... What is it! ”
"What's wrong?" The boss on the shore said.
The security guard fluttered in the water with a panicked expression: "Okay... It was as if something was wrapped around my feet. ”
With that, the security guard sank into the water.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and the owner of the cemetery hurriedly commanded the other three security guards: "Go and see what is going on with him!" ”
At the same time, throw all the lifebuoys prepared in advance into the water to ensure their safety.
The other three security guards looked at each other, they all knew what they were here for, and they couldn't help but be a little scared.
But he still picked up the lifebuoy and swam in the direction of the security guard who had the accident.
Two of them went to help the submerged colleague, and the remaining one took a deep breath and dived underwater.
With a flurry of tugging, the submerged security guard was pulled up and put on a lifebuoy.
"Pull them back." The owner of the cemetery was worried about another incident, so he instructed the staff on the shore to retract the rope of the lifebuoy.
"How?" The man was pulled ashore, and I immediately asked, "Are you alright?" ”
The sinking security guard coughed a few times and was fine, just choked on some water, but when asked what was going on, he only said that he vaguely felt something grab his ankle, and then he was jerked into the water.
At this time, there was still a security guard who did not go ashore, and after he dived underwater, there was no movement, so there would be no accident, right?
Suddenly, bubbles bubbled on the surface of the water, and a miserable white human head was the first to surface.
"Ahh
Everyone screamed in fright, but the master and I were the only ones who stood still.
It's just a dead man's head, and I'm a coffin seller who can see a lot.
Then another head popped up, this time a living person, the same security guard who had dived into the water earlier.
I have to say that this person has a good water nature, not only surfaced by himself, but also fished up a soaked and somewhat white corpse.
The body was none other than Li Xingli's father, and one of the seven bodies lost.
"Dad!"
Li Xingli knelt on the ground, his eyes instantly red and burst into tears.
The security guard gasped a few times and said, "Corpse... Corpse....... And there's a lot more below! ”
As soon as he said a word, everyone looked at the master's eyes and admired it a little.
Without waiting for the cemetery owner to speak, Zhang Fang preemptively said, "Quickly fish up all the corpses." ”
Except for the security guard who choked on the water, the other three went into the water again, and I went over to help. 、
With the concerted efforts of everyone, all the bodies were soon fished out of the water.
We arranged the corpses neatly in a line, and the master counted the number of corpses: "One, two, three, four, five, six......"
Seven... Wait a minute.
When the master counts, I am also counting, what about seven?
"Have you fished them all?" I immediately turned around and asked the security guards.
The men's clothes were soaking wet and wringing them out, and they recalled for a moment and said, "yes, they've all been caught." ”
Impossible.
At this time, others also found out the problem, and seven bodies disappeared, why were only six salvaged?
Don't believe in this evil!
At the request of Zhang Fang and me, the owner of the cemetery asked the security guards to swim in the water again, but the seventh body was not found.
The master pinched his fingers and calculated, and muttered, "It shouldn't be......"
After carefully checking the faces of all the corpses, we finally found that the missing one was actually Li Quan's body.
Why his corpse?
I never figured it out, but then we searched the entire waterhole, including the cemetery, and didn't find the seventh body.
