Chapter 693: Meeting the Soul Attractor
Everyone looked to the point where the pole in the young man's hand was pointing.
I saw a splash of water, and a person appeared, it was the old man who jumped into the water before.
With two strokes of his hand, he came to the boat and was pulled up by the young man.
After going up, the old man turned around and pulled the stick in his hand.
The stick has a hook at the front and is held in your hand when you go into the water.
The young man took it, and after three or two times of pouring back and forth, a corpse surfaced.
"It's been caught! Fished up! ”
People on the shore began to shout, and the families of the deceased ran excitedly to the river, and the staff rushed over to stop them.
"Beware! Watch out! ”
Crying rang out, and people on the shore applauded.
This atmosphere of contradiction reappeared.
I looked at the old man, who was shiny and shiny, and didn't seem to have any drops of water.
He sat in the stern of the boat, put on a straw hat, put on the clothes he had taken off, lit a cigarette pouch and smoked it.
The young man grabbed the stick with the hook in his hand, and the body hung beside the boat, and shouted loudly to the people on the rescue boat, and immediately someone drove over in the speedboat.
After they said a few words, the rescue team lifted the body onto the speedboat, shook the white cloth, and covered it.
I squinted for a moment, but I didn't see the corpse's soul body following me, frowning a little.
Nor on the water.
At noon, the sun is very big, and it is normal for evil spirits not to show their faces, but they will not be invisible.
Is it under the water's surface?
I still don't see any evil shadows.
The fat man whispered beside him: "Awesome, amazing! The rescue team didn't have so many advanced equipment to scoop up the person, and this person was fished out as soon as he got out of the water, which was really amazing! How did you get it? How did he know where the body was? ”
The rescue team speedboat pulled the body to the shore, and the family members pounced.
The boat of the corpse collectors did not dock, but propped it upstream, and gradually came to the shore where they lived, and then came to a halt, and returned to their own place.
"Let's go!" I said a word, pulled Tang Lian off the chute, and walked upstream.
From here to the place where the corpse collector lived, it looked not far, but it was not close to walking.
You can't go straight to it, you have to go around it from above, and then go down a slope.
"Are you sure it's the soul attractor that Master Wuhui said?" Tang Lian asked me.
"Not sure!" I said, "But it's better to ask, they should know about it, even if it's not him." ”
Tang Zuo came over from the side and said to me: "I have inquired, this person's surname is Huang, he has been a corpse digger all his life, and there is an apprentice named Liujin!" ”
Master Wuhui told me that there is a soul-attracting officer on the side of the Yellow River, called a water ghost.
But the title of water ghost is the name of ordinary people for corpse diggers.
I don't know if this man is called a water ghost or if someone else calls him.
In short, in order to find clues about my master, it is always no problem to ask in the past.
We weren't in a hurry, but we walked around, bought something to take with us, and couldn't go there empty-handed.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.
Looking back, it turned out to be several family members of the deceased.
They were holding a lot of gifts, their faces sad and excited, and their mouths kept saying, "Quick, go!" Be sure to thank people in person! ”
"Do you still have any money on you? Make up and give it to others! Don't be too much, how many people can help you get people out? ”
"Let's go, hurry up, the car is still waiting to go back!"
They hurried past us, apparently on their way to the corpse collectors.
We followed not far behind, went around the mountain beam, came to the downhill place, and saw that those people were really going to the corpse finder, so we did not rush over, but stood behind and waited.
The young man stood in front of the house to tidy up his things, put the corpse rod in the sun, and the one with the hook was missing, so he should have taken it in.
"Thank you, master, for bringing my brother back!" A middle-aged woman said with a cry, bowing deeply, even kneeling, "Thank you!" ”
Two young men beside her, who were on their knees, also knelt down.
The young man didn't look at it, but hid to the side and said, "The work is done, let's take someone home quickly!" ”
The middle-aged man who had come the day before said sincerely: "Thank you for your great kindness, please accept these gifts and thank-you gifts no matter what!" In the future, every New Year's holiday, we will give Master a stick of soul incense! ”
As he spoke, someone behind him placed the gift he had brought at the door, and the middle-aged man placed a thick envelope on it.
"Thank you, master! Without further ado, we take our leave! ”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned around and beckoned the others to leave.
The families of the deceased are still crying, sad and grateful, slowly walking in front of us towards the road.
We saw that they were no longer visible on the slope, and then we turned back and walked that way.
I asked the others to wait not far away, and I took Tang Lian, the fat man, and Tang Zuo over.
"Jiangcheng Fangyuan Pavilion Jiang Ziwu, come to visit the soul attractor!" I clenched my fists and said aloud.
The young man looked up at us in some surprise, looked back and forth, and then turned his head to look inside.
The old man's voice came from inside the house, "You said you were from Jiangcheng?" ”
"Yes!" I replied, "Family teacher Wu Ming, a year ago he traveled far away and has not returned, and the kid has the guidance of Master Wuhui of Guangfu Temple, saying that the soul attraction officer may have news of a family teacher!" I take the liberty of coming, and I hope the soul attraction officer will forgive me! ”
The young man kept looking at me with a fierce curiosity in his eyes.
"Come in!"
"Excuse me!"
The young man and I nodded, and walked in with the three of them.
It was a little dark inside the house, and it took two seconds to see what was going on inside.
The furnishings in the house can be said to be very simple.
On the left is a clay kang in the center, on the right there are several low cabinets, in the middle of a table, and on the wall hangs a rope and a stick with a hook.
The corpse collector was sitting on the left, smoking a cigarette pouch and pot, and a bottle of liquor and a cup were on the table.
I glanced at Tang Zuo, who was carrying a few bottles of white wine and a few catties of cooked mutton on the table.
The old man looked at it, "Sit down!" ”
I pulled Tang Lian to sit next to the table, and Tang Zuo and the fat man didn't sit down, just standing behind us.
The old man took two more puffs of his cigarette, then raised his foot and knocked under the sole of his shoe, wrapped it around the rope and placed it on the table.
"Master Wu is your master?" He looked up at me.
These eyes, some like cat's eyes, the pupils are upright, even I, who is used to seeing evil, is a little surprised.
He blinked, and his pupils returned to normal, as if it had just been just an illusion.
"How old are you?" He asked suddenly.
"Twenty-three!" I'll be honest with you.
"Oh, twenty-three!" He exhaled and looked out the door.
The sun outside the door was bright and dazzling, and the guys stood not far away, whispering and talking.
"He's in the mountains!"
I was instantly pleasantly surprised, "Did you really see him?" ”
"Hmmm! I saw it when I came out of the mountain decades ago! I saw it again in the mountains last year! ”
I was overjoyed, and glanced at Tang Lian, "Is he alone?" Is there anyone else around? ”
The old man looked at me a little strangely, "Don't you know? ”
"And my grandfather!" Tang Lian said, "They are brothers, but they didn't leave Jiangcheng together, seniors, we hope that they can have a companion together, and we also hope to find them to return to Jiangcheng together." ”
The old man nodded, "You don't need to call me senior, according to the seniority, you can just call me Lao Huang!" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
