As soon as I heard the price of the corpse, I agreed without saying a word, Sister Xiaomei has spent a lot of money on me these days, and I just returned the money to her.

But I just rescued Uncle Mei and needed to catch my breath, so I told the sanitation bureau that when I recovered my strength, I would go into the water to retrieve the body.

Sister Xiaomei didn't agree, and hurriedly stopped me and told me not to take risks because of the five hundred yuan.

Uncle Mei also shook his head, grabbed my arm and said, "This dead man's pestle is in the river, it is a floating corpse, and it is very evil!" You have a good water nature, and you can't believe in evil, as the old saying goes, those who are good at water drown, but it's not for fun! ”

I smiled and comforted them, saying: "There is no floating corpse at all, there is an undercurrent in the water, when I fished Uncle Mei just now, I have already figured out the direction of the undercurrent, once I am born and twice cooked, there is no danger at all for me to go down." ”

Sister Xiaomei and Uncle Mei were still not at ease, and persuaded me not to go into the water.

At this time, the sanitation bureau was impatient, and came over to Uncle Mei and said:

"Mei Laosan, you don't have the ability to fish up corpses yourself, don't underestimate others! I see that this young man is very safe, and there must be no problem. You don't want to talk nonsense on the side, people can't even afford you, a big living person who is fluttering around, and you can't afford to catch a dead person who can't move? ”

Uncle Mei glared at him and said unconvinced: "Lao Huang, don't stand and talk without backache!" If this baby has three long and two short, how can I explain it to my daughter? ”

They quarreled with each other, but my side was almost rested, and while it was still dark, I took a hemp rope from the shore and plunged into the river again.

Although the undercurrent is turbulent, the direction of the flow will not change for a while and a half, and I just felt the water potential nearby, and then I will be familiar with the way when I go in.

After I got close to the floating corpse, I put the hemp rope on his body, adjusted the angle, tightened the rope, tied the other end of the hemp rope to my waist, and turned to swim to the shore.

Because the drowned person has drunk enough water, the weight can be more than 100 catties when he was alive, so it is much more tiring to fish the dead back than to catch the living.

When I swam back, I obviously felt a little weak in the whirlpool, and even several times I finally tried to swim out, and I was swept back by the whirlpool.

But in this case, I didn't panic, it's a big deal to untie the hemp rope around my waist, don't want the 500 yuan, let the floating corpse roll back into the whirlpool, and I will swim back by myself.

Anyway, this undercurrent won't kill me.

The hard work paid off, and after four or five attempts, I finally caught the opportunity of a weak current to drag the floating corpse out.

Uncle Mei hurriedly rowed his corpse boat to pick me up, dragged me onto the deck, and then dragged the floating corpses in the river, all the way to the shore.

Lao Huang of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau also breathed a sigh of relief, gave me a thumbs up in admiration, and then took out an envelope from his pocket and walked over and handed it to me.

I took a look, and there were five hundred-yuan bills that had been prepared a long time ago, I clicked on them, turned around and gave the envelope to Sister Xiaomei.

Sister Xiaomei didn't be polite to me, and put the envelope away properly, we had already said that after getting married, the money would be in her hands.

I smiled and said to her, "Although this line of work is unlucky, the money is really fast, if you meet a few more corpses, won't you want to get rich?" ”

Sister Xiaomei cried and laughed and said, "How can there be so many floating corpses for you to fish?" Today, there are no more corpses on the Tuojiang River. It is rare to see one or two floating corpses every once in a while. ”

Lao Huang also smiled and said: "If it is really like in the past, there are drowned ghosts floating on the river every day, and the reward for this corpse is not five hundred, isn't it to make our Environmental Sanitation Bureau poor!" ”

However, while we were chatting and dragging the floating corpses to the shore, Sister Xiaomei suddenly pointed to the river and shouted loudly: "Look at it! ”

I looked in the direction that Sister Xiaomei pointed out, and saw that in the position where the undercurrent was surging just now, a floating corpse suddenly appeared, and the floating corpse was still standing in the whirlpool, with a pair of empty round eyes staring at the shore.

Lao Huang of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau also saw it, and couldn't help but scold his mother, muttering in a low voice: "Why is there still one?" ”

I'm lucky, after all, this floating corpse is five hundred dollars.

Since there is an undercurrent, it is not surprising that there are floating corpses, and it is thought that the undercurrent under the water surface dragged the corpses on the nearby river, and when they encountered a whirlpool, they were swept out of the river.

A few years ago, there was a big whirlpool next to my house, and seven or eight floating corpses in the neighborhood were swept together, and the scene was like hell, an effect that can't be captured in a horror movie.

While the floating corpse was still in the river, I asked Lao Huang: "Uncle Huang, is this corpse still fished?" Or five hundred? ”

Lao Huang nodded: "Fish, it's still five hundred!" ”

Later, he added: "But I didn't prepare in advance, and I'll take the money tomorrow and send it home for you." ”

He only thought that there was only one floating corpse on the river, so he only brought five hundred, who would have thought that this floating corpse would fish out one and another one would emerge.

"Well said." I negotiated the price with him, and I was ready to enter the water again.

Uncle Mei hurriedly persuaded me: "Take a break!" Don't rush down, you've swam back and forth twice! ”

I said that it is not in the way, I am not tired, if I wait for a while, the undercurrent under the water changes direction, it will be more dangerous, it is better to solve it quickly.

I swam to the river according to the old route, put the hemp rope on the body of the floating corpse, and just about to return, I saw a black shadow flash in the whirlpool, and a head suddenly drilled out two or three meters on my side!

It was a swollen dead man's head, and his face was purple and black like a big eggplant! A pair of dull eyes stared at me in a daze, as if they had a grudge against me.

I gasped in fright, almost got swept into the whirlpool, and quickly flapped twice and swam away.

At this time, the dead man's head slowly surfaced, only to see that it was a floating corpse again!

The third floating corpse!

I didn't know what to say for a while, so I could only drag the second floating corpse to the shore first, and when I got to the shore, I looked back and saw that there was really another floating corpse in the river, the pestle was up and down in the original whirlpool, and a pair of cold eyes stared at me.

Uncle Mei and Sister Xiao Mei were surprised, Uncle Mei lit a cigarette and said while smoking: "It's really a strange thing, I haven't seen so many floating corpses by the Tuojiang River for many years." ”

Lao Huang even called for evil, squatting on the riverside and smoking with Uncle Mei.

I disposed of the second corpse and walked towards them, and I asked Lao Huang, "Uncle Huang, are you still fishing?" Catch one more, and you'll owe me a thousand." ”

The reward for three floating corpses is one thousand and five.

At that time, 1,500 yuan was enough to buy the most high-end flip phone on the market.

Lao Huang took a puff of cigarette, spit out a smoke ring, squinted his eyes and said, "It's a fart!" One or two floating corpses are under the control of our Environmental Sanitation Bureau, and there are so many drowned ghosts at once, we can't control it, so we have to call the police immediately! ”
