Chapter 2: Dead
At this scene, I was so frightened that my mouth opened wide, I wanted to shout "help" but I couldn't make a sound, my hands slapped the water unobediently, my legs unconsciously moved back, and my whole body was shaking.
I even felt like my body was getting lighter and about to fly.
This scene is too sudden, too terrifying, too shocking.
At this point, the corpse surfaced a little more, and its shoulders were exposed.
"How is that possible? It's not scientific, it's not logical, it's standing, how does it do it? ”
I must have been a little delirious with fear, otherwise I wouldn't have been so cranky.
The sky was still clear, but the light gradually dimmed, the temperature around me plummeted, and a chill hit me, spreading from the soles of my feet to my back.
Then there was a bout of vertigo, and I plunged headlong into the river.
It's like a weighing stone, and it sinks before it has time to flutter a few times.
Water, it's cold.
The river, very deep.
Soon the river rushed into my mouth and nose, invaded my lungs, and I was vomiting and struggling, so uncomfortable that if I could escape, I swore I would never dare to go into the water again in my life.
I felt the loss of my life, I felt very tired and tired, very sleepy and sleepy, I saw what I was like when I was born, I saw when I was a child stealing my grandfather's money to play game consoles, I saw me cheating in exams and was discovered by the head teacher, I saw my grandfather hanging me upside down on the beam of the house and beating me with a bamboo stick......
This sub-picture is like a movie, fast-forward like crazy, until the last scene, the corpse in the river, slowly opens its eyes.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" The violent cough shook my chest with a sharp pain, and then someone turned over, spit out the water and filth in my stomach with a bone, until I was weak, and slowly lay down again.
I struggled to open my eyes and saw my grandfather's tearful and red eyes.
Around me were Uncle Tsuchine, who was holding a wild turtledove, and Uncle Shuisheng, who was wet.
Grandpa held my hand tightly with one hand, touched my face tremblingly with the other, and asked worriedly: "Little bastard, see if you will listen to me in the future." ”
At this time, I was still shocked, and I opened my mouth to my grandfather: "Grandpa, there is a dead ...... in the river"
"Who called the police? Where is the body? Who found out? We are from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade. The loud voice provoked everyone to turn around.
My grandfather and I were all looking at the middle-aged policeman.
Grandpa whispered to me: "The head of the six yangs, the elephant is in the sky, the first birth has twenty-four bones, and the face has thirteen parts, covering everything...... One of the phases, it's all here!
After speaking, he got up and greeted the middle-aged policeman: "The young man is in good shape but his face is full of sadness, presumably everything has not been going well recently!" ”
The middle-aged policeman ignored what his grandfather said and continued to ask: "Old man, did you call the police?" Did you find the corpse in the river as well? ”
Grandpa patiently replied: "It's me who called the police, young man, Xiaoshui is vicious, and there are more people who die in this river every year, but it's ......."
"Uncle Xiaoren, you rest, I'll come and come!" Uncle Shui Sheng interjected.
"What, comrade police, it's like this, we are begging for a living by the water, we have seen all kinds of corpses, there are taboos in our business, women are afraid of bowing, men are afraid of looking up, under normal circumstances, we dare not salvage these two kinds of corpses.
If you have to go to fish, you have to pay a respect, and after the body is properly disposed of, it is inevitable that you will get sick.
What I encountered today is a standing corpse, also called death.
Don't say that we don't dare to fish, even if we are marine police, we won't go to fish if we know a little bit about it.
Speaking of this, Uncle Shui Sheng pointed at me again: "My nephew was almost killed by that death just now.
Therefore, my uncle wants to borrow the righteous qi on your police badge to vent this dead yin qi.
The middle-aged policeman couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately shouted: "Okay, okay!" This fellow, what is so angry? I was confused when I heard it, besides, what age is it, the feudal superstition, we don't want to do it, ah! ”
After speaking, he immediately commanded a few policemen around him and said: "You five, go and borrow a boat to fish up the body, you, hurry up and contact the forensic ......."
By the time I had changed my clothes, five young policemen had already requisitioned a small boat from the village, and the boatman was also from the village, and was just about to start a fire when the river became foggy.
When my grandfather saw that the police were busy, he immediately pulled me to the dirt slope on the riverbank.
I was a little confused, so I was about to ask my grandfather, but I saw that my grandfather frowned, staring at the river, and didn't take a breath.
A gust of river wind blew, mixed with an inexplicable smell of decay, and bubbles rolled in the water from time to time.
Grandpa pointed to a river and said to me, "Little bastard, that's where you fell into the water just now." ”
I rubbed my eyes, wondering if I had just had too much water in my cavity and my brain was not working.
Grandpa explained in a low voice: "Little beast, do you see? The yin qi of this section of the river is so thick that it is almost substantial, and it can only show that the guy in the water has become a climate. ”
The wind on the riverbank became tighter and tighter, the dead leaves of the trees shook off, and the sky became yellow and dark.
Grandpa became more and more uneasy, looked up at the sky, and suddenly looked at me with wide eyes, with a trace of fear in his eyes: "Falling leaves and sand on the riverside, Huangquan Road warning." ”
I don't know why, but looking at the beige mist, I was terrified for no reason.
Grandpa swallowed his saliva and whispered softly, "Feng, that's not fog, that's evil qi."
Heaven and earth have three qi at the beginning, the aura rises, the chaos is in the center, and the turbidity descends.
The fireworks in the world are the chaotic qi, if a person is eroded by the turbidity gas underground after death, the chaotic qi in the body may turn into evil qi before death.
If evil energy gathers but does not disperse, evil things will surely breed. ”
Looking at the policemen who were still blaming each other for not being able to catch fire, I also asked softly, "Grandpa, is that corpse I saw an evil thing?" ”
My grandfather didn't even look at me, but he patiently explained to me, "Where there is death, there must be great evil."
Dead, similar to a puppet, the type that is manipulated, although it is a puppet, but compared to ordinary water ghosts, it is not a little bit powerful.
Some people who died unjustly or horizontally did not float up after entering the water, and when the corpse was fished out, it turned out to be the same as when they had just died.
Not only that, but these underwater corpses will always stand upright in the water, maintaining a walking posture, and the corpses will slowly move forward with the current, as if they are strolling.
In some dry riverbeds, you can see clear footprints under the water, step by step to the deepest depths, and when you reach the end, you will turn in a direction and continue walking, these people are dead, and they will not stop if they don't catch the stand-in.
