Chapter 10: Searching for Corpses (2)
Wu Shiqing rowed a boat on the surface of the river and dived to the bottom of the river with a heel to Kaiwen.
I don't know if I don't jump, I am scared when I jump, the water of the river looks very clear on the surface, but the bottom of the river is crimson, there are too many corpses, and the rancid smell emitted is disgusting.
The biting chill made Xiang Kaiwen begin to become numb, and Wu Shiqing was holding a rope on the boat, looking a little anxious.
Xiang Kaiwen exposed half of his body from the river and complained to Wu Shiqing: "Wu Duangong, where is this still a river, it is clearly a layer of hell!" There are so many dead bodies in the river, which one are you looking for? ”
"I'm looking for a female corpse." Wu Shi said lightly.
Xiang Kaiwen sighed helplessly and dived under the water again.
Male floating female back is the best way for the corpse digger to determine the gender of the dead body. However, there were many dead bodies lying on their backs under the water, which was like looking for a needle in a haystack, so he had to fish all the dead bodies on the boat.
The fishing boat was not very large, and the dead bodies took up two-thirds of the space on the fishing boat.
"These corpses are all female, and there's always the one you want, right?" Xiang Kaiwen stood on the fishing boat, panting heavily.
There was a strong fishy smell from the boat, Wu Shiqing endured the rancid smell and observed them one by one, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but he found that there was no female corpse he wanted.
He shook his head, "Brother Xiang, among these female corpses, there is no one I am looking for." ”
"Wu Duangong, these female corpses took a lot of effort to get them from the bottom of the river......" Xiang Kaiwen was a little impatient.
Wu Shiqing nodded in understanding and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, I know that it is not easy for you to fish for these five female corpses, but the female corpse I am looking for is about the Republic of China period." You can see that although the clothes of these female corpses are already in disarray, their physical decay is not very serious, so it seems that they probably fell into the river in recent years. ”
"Republic of China period?! My good boy! Even if there's only a pile of bones left?! ”
Xiang Kaiwen threw a fishing net into the river, Wu Shiqing rowed the boat, and Xiang Kaiwen stirred the fishing net at the bottom of the river to the vicinity, and pulled it the boat.
The fishing net was covered with dead fish, and Wu Shiqing unintentionally opened the gills of a dead fish to see that it was black.
"There is a miasma in the water at the bottom of this river!"
Xiang Kaiwen ignored Wu Shiqing, and he continued to cast a net to the bottom of the river, hoping that there would be the white bones of the female corpse when the net was closed.
Wu Shiqing threw the dead fish back into the river and said to himself: "If you absorb too much miasma, you will be poisoned, and there are no creatures underwater, no wonder this river is lifeless." ”
Fog suddenly rose on the surface of the river, and the surrounding environment became blurred.
Xiang Kaiwen hurriedly retracted the fishing net and carefully observed everything on the river. Wu Shiqing was particularly sensitive to this kind of aura, and he said to Xiang Kaiwen with some concern: "Brother, what a heavy evil spirit!" ”
Xiang Kaiwen's face became ugly, "This is not an evil spirit, this is an evil spirit......
"Evil? That's not the same as evil spirit......" Wu Shiqing was a little confused.
"The evil qi is just a breath, a strange environment, and the evil qi in our corpse mouths is a movement ......"
Before Xiang Kaiwen could finish speaking, several upright corpses appeared at the bottom of the river, more than one or two...... Rather, they come in droves......
The current suddenly became very turbulent, and the corpses seemed to be walking in the water......
Xiang Kaiwen and Wu Shiqing tacitly held their breath, not daring to make any moves, for fear of disturbing them.
They pass the fishing boats and walk towards the end of the river......
"It turns out that this is evil, and it is somewhat different from evil qi and evil things." Wu Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"These evil people are all people who have died horizontally, they are very resentful, they can't be reincarnated, they have been walking in the water and want to pull people as stand-ins......"
"Brother Xiang, have you found these corpses that just roamed away, they have a common feature?" Wu Shiqing said meaningfully.
"Well, I was in a panic at the time, where was I in the mood to observe their characteristics." Xiang Kaiwen smiled bitterly.
Wu Shiqing was a little excited, and suddenly said: "They are all wearing costumes!" ”
"Yay? Wu Duangong, after you say this, it seems that there is such a thing, but what does this mean? Xiang Kaiwen didn't know what kind of medicine Wu Shiqing was selling in the gourd.
"How many people are in a troupe?"
"It depends on what kind of drama it is, there are 30 to 100 people." Xiang Kaiwen replied.
"Brother Xiang, how many people do you think it takes to sing "Liang Zhu"?" Wu Shiqing asked.
Xiang Kaiwen was a little impatient, "Wu Duangong, what do you want to say?" ”
Wu Shiqing muttered: "Singing a "Liang Zhu" protagonist and supporting roles, there are at least seventeen or eighteen people, but I just counted carefully, and there are only sixteen corpses in that group. ”
Xiang Kaiwen was more and more confused by Wu Shiqing.
Wu Shiqing had no choice but to tell him the origin of the female corpse.
Xiang Kaiwen sighed for a while, "Don't worry, Wu Duangong, no matter what, I will definitely pick up this female corpse and resolve the resentment of that female ghost." ”
Xiang Kaiwen thought for a long time, and suddenly realized, "The reason why there are only sixteen corpses is because the corpse of the female ghost is gone!" The sixteen corpses and the female ghost just now were in the same troupe! They must have been retaliated against by female ghosts! ”
"Quite possibly. But what we have to do now is find the corpse of that red-clad ghost and fish it up. ”
The fog still did not dissipate, Wu Shiqing rowed the boat, Xiang Kaiwen pulled the net on the shore of the boat and stirred around at the bottom of the river, his vision was very narrow, he could only see the environment near the fishing boat.
They were nearing the end of the river, and there was a hole in front of them, and a large black stuff was circling over it, and everything around them was beginning to turn black.
People always have an indescribable fear of the dark, because everything in the darkness is unknown, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.
Wu Shiqing has dealt with ghosts and monsters for many years, and Xiang Kaiwen, as a corpse digger, has also eaten "dead man's meal" for many years, and their psychological quality should be very strong.
But for some reason, when they arrived in front of this cave, their hearts suddenly became heavy, and it was like a large stone pressed on their chests, which made them almost breathless.
Wu Shiqing turned on the flashlight, and the light of the flashlight shone on the hole.
It turned out that the large black stuff hovering above the entrance of the cave was a bat.
"It turned out to be just a swarm of bats...... Wu Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Kaiwen stared intently at the group of bats, engrossed, and looked thoughtful.
"Brother Xiang, is there anything wrong with this group of bats?" Wu Shiqing asked.
"I can't say for sure, but it just feels weird." Xiang Kaiwen was a little worried.
Except for the glow of a flashlight at the front hole, it was pitch black all around, and the invisible places always seemed to be hiding something.
Since Wu Shiqing turned on the flashlight, the fear in Xiang Kaiwen's heart has become stronger and stronger......
