Chapter 313: Scooping up corpses
"Xiao An, hurry up." Xing Baole beckoned to me.
I walked straight over and got into the wooden boat, and Xing Baole slid forward in the river with a long wooden pole.
The surface of the water emitted a half-dead white light, like the skin of a dead corpse.
I unconsciously made up the scene of a corpse emerging from the water and grabbing my neck, and my heart was a little chilly.
After all, this is my first time receiving yin, and not being nervous is fake.
There is a large and a small gray cloth in the wooden boat, which should be the shroud.
"Brother Xing, do you know where the corpse is? Not swept away by the river? I asked nervously and curiously.
"Of course I know, we corpse diggers have our own way of finding the body, and besides, the body was tied to the bottom of the river with a stake last time, and it is impossible for it to be washed away." After he finished speaking, he looked at me again and said, "If it weren't for me, would you have been able to find the body?" Back then, my dad had to get some tricky corpses, and he had to need your grandmother's help. ”
"Me?" I frowned and looked at the sparkling water, "We made our debut, and with our own skills, we can sense the yin qi nearby, so as to judge whether there are sneaky or corpses, but..."
I looked carefully at the water around me again, "But I didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of yin qi around here." ”
"Huh? No Yin fluctuations? Xing Baole's expression was stunned when he heard this, and he said: "This is impossible, is the body gone?" Wrong. ”
After speaking, Xing Baole accelerated the speed of the wooden boat, rowed downstream, and said solemnly: "This water is not too deep, and the corpse was fixed by me to the bottom of the water not far ahead. ”
"It's not deep, it has to be five or six meters, and besides, can you stand it in the water this winter?" I asked curiously.
"Five or six meters is not worth mentioning for us corpse salvage, if ordinary people go into the water in winter, most of them will be frozen and their bodies will not be able to come up, but we have a set of methods for operating internal qi, which can form a warm current in the body, so we are not afraid of low water temperature." Xing Baole showed a touch of smugness after speaking.
I said in my heart that I deserve to be a corpse digger, and most of my skills are related to this work.
Soon, the boat had glided forward for about 500 meters and came to a stop at a spot on the shore on the left.
Xing Baole pointed to the water and looked at me solemnly: "Xiao An, Xu Jinhua's body is down there." ”
I chuckled inwardly, and subconsciously looked down, and the water surface reflected the full moon and a few dark clouds above, which was quite panicked.
But what puzzles me is that there are no yin qi fluctuations below at all.
"Are you sure? Brother Xing, there is no yin qi fluctuation under this water, is the corpse really down there? I looked at him and asked, confused.
"What? No Yin fluctuations? Impossible. Xing Baole's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly took out a compass from his bag.
His compass is not the same as what we commonly use in Daxian, most of the metal we generally use, and this one is a wooden compass with a simple shape.
Some of the character patterns engraved on it are also different from what we are used to, and the pointer does not know what material it is, but I saw that the pointer shook slightly, and then stopped.
"How is this possible?" Xing Baole exclaimed, "The corpse is really gone!" ”
Hearing this, a creepy sense of horror hit my heart.
I hurriedly looked around vigilantly, and asked with a solemn expression, "Brother Xing, will the corpse melt away from the water and go ashore?" ”
"It's impossible, if you go ashore, the people in the village will have an accident a long time ago, no, I have to go down and have a look, you look for me on the wooden boat." After Xing Baole finished speaking, he quickly began to undress.
Looking at his upper body exposed by taking off his clothes, I felt a little trembling inside.
The skin inside his clothes was completely different from the skin on his face and neck, white like a corpse.
The same is true for his lower body, he looks back at me and jumps into the water, making a splash that quickly spreads out to the surrounding area.
I hurriedly looked down and saw a figure like a big fish under the water, shaking a few times and then disappearing.
A cold wind blew, and I shivered and looked around vigilantly.
There was silence all around, and I felt a little hairy in my heart,
I always felt like something was watching me in the dark, and when the time came, it would strike suddenly.
Time passed, the ripples on the surface of the river disappeared, and the atmosphere was as quiet as if I was here, as if Xing Baole had been drowned.
"Brother Xing." I looked at the water and screamed tentatively, but there was no response.
My heart beat slightly faster, and I said that something must have happened to Xing Baole.
"Brother Xing, Brother Xing?" I hurriedly called out twice, and the sound formed a permeating echo around me, but there was still no response from Xing Baole.
How is this possible?
Did it really happen that I was caught by a corpse, or...
Just when I was so anxious that I wanted to paddle the canoe to the shore first, I waited.
Suddenly, there was a faint cry behind him, "Wow wow..."
Accompanied by a cold wind, it was as if a female ghost was blowing cold air on the back of my neck, prompting my body to stir.
"Wow wow..."
Two more cries, as if they were far behind me, but as if they were in my ears, listening to them, my body felt like I was overpowered.
"The voice!" I chuckled inwardly.
The sound turned out to be the cry of a baby.
Could it be that the baby in the woman's womb has already burst out of her belly?
If so, wouldn't the corpse be dissolved?
My heart was beating wildly, and I quickly looked back, my pupils suddenly constricted.
I saw that on the water surface that was about 500 meters away from me, there was a black and rich yin qi, which was mixed with monstrous resentment.
"Wow wow, wow..."
The baby's cry came from the yin qi, and the yin qi was approaching us at a rapid speed.
"Brother Xing, it's not good, something happened, where are you!" I shouted anxiously at the water.
The yin qi approached me very quickly, and it was accompanied by the cry of a baby, indicating that maybe the corpse of the mother and child had already melted, and it was a terrifying existence with the strength of a half-step ghost soldier.
Even if I and Xing Baole are together, I will definitely not be the opponent of the mother and son, and I should run away immediately and think about it in the long run.
I couldn't be so nervous, but the water was still silent, as if Xing Baole was really drowning in the water.
Just as I was about to shout anxiously, there was a bang.
I saw Xing Baole's head emerge from the water more than 20 meters away from me.
Seeing this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called: "Brother Xing, come up quickly, it's not good, the corpses of Xu Jinhua and the baby have melted." ”
Xing Baole also looked at the Yin Qi approaching us upstream with a solemn expression, but what I didn't understand was that the next moment his expression actually soothed.
"It's okay, Xiao An, don't panic, the corpse hasn't melted." Xing Baole shouted, and quickly swam towards me.
He grabbed the edge of the wooden boat with both hands, and after coming up, he looked at the yin qi carefully, and his expression was solemn again, "This, it's not far from that step before it melts, and the wooden stakes fixed at the bottom of the water have been caught by her." ”
Hearing this, I hurriedly asked, "Can you scratch the stake without melting?" And do you hear the baby's cry? The dead baby..."
"Wow wow, wow..."
Before I could finish my sentence, the sound of a baby crying could be heard again in the upper reaches of the river, and the yin qi was getting closer and closer to us, only three hundred meters away.
"The baby was not born, you listen carefully, the baby's cry is very dull, indicating that it is made in the belly of the female corpse, and the voice is very resentful, and it may be trying to scratch the mother's belly and crawl out on its own."
Xing Baole looked at me again after speaking, his expression was very solemn, "You have to come back to Xiao An in time this time, if you don't succeed tonight, most of the dead babies will crawl out by themselves tomorrow, and when the time comes, the village will be ruined, and the female corpse walking around underwater may also be asking for help." ”
"Asking for help?" I asked curiously what was going on.
Xing Baole said that although Xu Jinhua's resentment was monstrous, his reason was not swallowed up by all the resentment.
She knew that if the baby broke out of his belly and turned into evil causes for others, the final outcome would be to be dragged into the Infernal Hell by reincarnation.
So she's walking underwater, trying to find help from us practitioners.
You may have sensed our breath at this moment, so you rushed here like us.
But the current situation is not optimistic, if the female corpse can't suppress the angry infant spirit, she will also be completely swallowed by the resentment.
When the time comes, they will go ashore and eat people.
I was amazed and shocked to hear it, after all, it was the first time in more than ten years that I had come into contact with such a pregnant corpse.
"Let's go, let's go over now and get her up." After Xing Baole finished speaking, he took the initiative to row the wooden boat towards the yin qi.
