Chapter Twenty-Six: Strange Things Happen
When I heard this, I was stupid.
Holding the pergola and looking at the opposite side, the interval between the two sections of the bridge is indeed as Zhang Ke said, at least forty or fifty meters.
Not to mention an old man in his sixties, even a fierce young man can't jump, otherwise let him go to the Olympic long jump competition, and he will definitely get the gold medal.
I swallowed quietly and quipped, "This man is jumping far away!" ”
Zhang Ke also sighed, handed me a cigarette and said, "Not only is it jumping far, but also jumping high." ”
The steel bars on the bridge pier were more than three meters long, and the old man Wu was pierced by the steel bar and lay directly on the bridge pier.
It was only when Zhang Ke came that the workers sawed off the steel bars and lifted the people up.
Visually, to achieve this effect, people almost have to fall from a height of dozens of meters, and pole vaulting cannot jump so high.
Fortunately, not many people know about this matter now, as long as they are willing to spend money, they can still cover it, but if they continue to have accidents, they will not be able to contain the fire in the paper, and sooner or later they will have to be made public in the news.
Zhang Ke said, "Little Master, you ...... Are you sure? ”
To tell you the truth, there are so many people here before and after, if it were my nature, I definitely wouldn't interfere.
But now there is no way to do this, even if there is a Xiangxi corpse king waiting for me in this water, then I can only fight with it.
I said, "I can't guarantee Boss Zhang, but I will definitely do my best, I'll take a look first!" ”
Zhang Ke nodded, let me take a casual look, pay attention to safety, he still has to deal with the matter of Old Man Wu.
I walked to a no-man's corner, took out a psychic talisman, flicked my fingers and ignited it, and a golden halo flashed before my eyes.
This is called eye opening, also known as channeling.
There are many ways to open the eyes of the people, for example, the crow's eyes are pulled out raw, scalded with boiling water, and swallowed again, so that you can see ghosts for the rest of your life.
But not many people use this method, disgusting is one thing, who wants to see hell all day long?
For another example, if you put the willow leaves in the dew and seal them with utensils for three days, and then take them out to wipe your eyes or stick them directly under your eyebrows, you will naturally see ghosts.
Of course, in addition to this, there are cow tears, copper bells, crystal balls, including mirrors, etc., all of which are easy to see.
And I used the spell of the rune seal to achieve the effect of opening the eyes, and there was nothing too special.
After doing all this, I walked to the bridge and looked down, and it was so wicked that the problem must be in the water.
It was just to my surprise that I didn't see anything wrong with the fact that the river looked dark blue and the water was deep.
And after looking at it for a long time, I really didn't even see a ghost, which can't help but make me feel that the water in this place is too deep, and I can't see that the problem is the biggest problem.
I thought that I had followed Master for so many years, and I had never eaten pork, so there were still many opportunities to watch pigs run, but I couldn't see any problems.
Or maybe I don't even think it was sneaky now.
"Little Master, do you see something wrong?"
Just when I was thinking about it to no avail, Zhang Ke had already properly handled the matter of Old Man Wu and came over.
I told him that I hadn't found any clues yet, and that I was going to check back in the evening.
As soon as he heard that I was going to come back in the evening, Zhang Ke unconsciously twitched the corner of his left eye, cleared his throat and said to me.
"That little master, if you really can't see the way, or forget it, right? To put it mildly, you are still young, if you have three long and two short, you have no chance to regret it! ”
It can be seen that in fact, Zhang Ke still can't believe me a little, and is worried about what will happen to him if I die on the bridge again.
I said, "Boss Zhang, you can rest assured, I have my own measure!" ”
Seeing that I had made up my mind, Zhang Ke didn't say anything more, he had some other things to deal with, so he told me to be careful, and if there was anything, call him in time and leave.
I walked around the bridge again, but found nothing but some of the opening practices and the traces left by the dancing gods.
So I decided to change my mind and use the daytime to inquire about some legends in the surrounding area, maybe there will be some eyebrows.
In the past, when I followed Master to the rivers and lakes, this trick was tried and tested repeatedly, because many legends and stories are not unfounded hearsay.
There may be an element of exaggeration, but there is a high probability that something really happened in a certain dynasty and a certain generation in the past.
But this method still did not get the results I wanted, and I inquired all afternoon, and I still specially selected some elderly people to inquire.
I chewed four and a half packs of cigarettes, and finally I only heard some rumors about water ghosts.
The local old man told me that the name of this river is Shouting River, and according to legend, there was a very powerful general in ancient times, and he forgot his surname.
But I heard that this man had the ability to move mountains and seas, and once when he was chasing the Japanese Invaders, he swung his sword and cut through the mountains to form this river, blocking the retreat of the Japanese Invaders, and then slaughtered tens of thousands of Japanese Invaders by the river.
Later, in order to commemorate the general, the imperial court used his character "Shouting" to make the name of this river.
Later, some people frequently found water ghosts in this Shouting River, saying that it was called a man with a nose and eyes, saying that those water ghosts had palace maids and soldiers, anyway, many people would drown in this area every year, and even fishermen had to go together.
As night approached, I went to a noodle restaurant alone and asked for a bowl of noodles, integrating these clues in my mind while preparing to fill my stomach and go to the bridge in the evening to see what was strange.
During this period, I also called He Zhiliang to ask him if he knew something.
However, He Zhiliang said that he is not a native of Lin'an, so he doesn't know much about some local rumors, but the recent incident of the death of the Tongjiang Bridge has alarmed the police, but he is not in charge of this matter, and he promised to help me inquire.
After saying thank you, I hung up the phone, and after eating a bowl of noodles, I came to the bridge again.
At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and the lights on both sides of the river are bright and lively, which is in stark contrast to the lifeless wind on the river.
Because of the death of someone today, so there is not even a vigil, I rubbed my arms because of some cold, took out a cigarette from my bag and lit it, then I heard something next to a pile of building materials not far away.
I took off the cigarette from my mouth and pricked up my ears to listen, and I could faintly hear it, like someone was singing a song that resembled a nursery rhyme.
But what is sung, I can't hear it clearly!
At this point, the effect of my psychic talisman hadn't disappeared, but I didn't see anything unclean, so I thought it should be a person.
I crept over and found an unkempt old beggar with a bottle of wine in his hand, leaning his back against a bag of cement, babbling nonsense that I didn't understand!
I shook my head and said to him, "Uncle, it's windy at night, why don't you find a shelter?" ”
This construction site is full of evil inside and out, and if this old beggar spends the night here, who knows what will happen.
But the old man, as if he hadn't heard, raised his head and poured another sip of wine, and continued to sing the nursery rhyme, but this time the voice was intermittent, but I heard it clearly.
"Ignorant children...... Not sensible, ...... No distinction between good and confused. Sitting on the bridge boldly tonight, the Ming Dynasty is ...... Dead person! ”
I frowned slightly and repeated it in my heart, and suddenly my heart "chuckled", isn't this what I'm talking about?
"Hey, I said, why are you like this, old man? I kindly asked you to leave quickly, but you actually cursed me! You tell me, how did I become a dead man in the Ming Dynasty? ”
I turned around and stepped on the cement with one foot, or because this was an old Hanako, I would have done it earlier.
Who knows, the old Hanako smiled at me, revealing a mouth full of rotten teeth, under the coercion of the river breeze, the smell of wine mixed with bad breath came to my face, so that I almost didn't vomit out the noodles.
I saw him hook his hand at me and say in a playful tone.
"Give me a cigarette, and I'll tell you!"
