Chapter 137

As soon as the sixth uncle's voice fell, everyone was hesitating, and suddenly an old woman with gray hair who was supported by her family also shouted: "Pengju take a look, this black light is blind, everyone has been out for a long time, and my family is sleepy in keeping money, it's time to go back and rest." ”

"Milk, I'm not sleepy, I still want to see-"

The child who was holding her in her hand heard this and hurriedly refuted, but before he finished speaking, he was covered by the sixth uncle.

Her prestige in the village is not as high as that of the sixth uncle, but this old woman is usually kind to others, and when the people in the village are in trouble, she is generally willing to help, and everyone in the village has a deep affection for her.

At this time, as soon as she spoke, everyone else followed suit.

Everyone in the village was staring at the three people in the water, and Kuai Pengju couldn't resist the pressure, hesitated for a moment, and then replied reluctantly:

"Okay."

In full view of everyone, he bent down and put his hand into the water.

Strange to say, Kuai Pengju's feet stepped on the water, and his right hand also reached into the water to grab the cage before.

But after soaking for a long time, he didn't feel anything, and when his left hand, which had never been wet, entered the water, he felt a chilling chill through his fingertips into his heart, making him shiver with excitement.

"Shhhh

He gasped loudly and muttered:

"Why is this water so stinging? It's like a cold winter wax moon. ”

"I think you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, are you reluctant?"

On the riverbank, his daughter-in-law was annoyed and angry after hearing someone joke that he had coveted Zhuang, and stabbed him in a strange way.

"You—"

Kuai Peng raised his eyes and glared at her, and then with a heartbeat, he put his left hand into the cage and touched Zhuang's head.

A large tuft of hair flowed around the water, wrapping around his fingers.

There seemed to be some kind of malice hidden under his hair, which made him shudder, as if someone was dragging his hand and trying to pull him down.

Kuai Pengju trembled in fear, and was about to scream, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kuai Pengcheng and Kuai Laosan standing not far from him, and the previous gloomy feeling was just his illusion.

He must have gritted his teeth in his heart, and gathered the courage to pull Zhuang's hair indiscriminately.

The man didn't dare to look at the face of the woman in the cage, and his palm touched Zhuang's facial features.

This action Zhuang wanted to do when he was alive, but when he touched it again now, it was not as soft as he imagined in his midnight dreams.

Started with a cold dead face.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Zhuang's face had lost the elasticity of a living person, with a stiff and cold feeling peculiar to a dead man.

That delicate nose was like a knife that would cut his fingers.

The teeth in her lips might snap him, whether her eyes would open - countless strange and bizarre terrifying thoughts came to Kuai Peng's mind.

But fortunately, these fearful imaginations did not happen.

He smoothly brushed Zhuang's hair and touched her face.

She remained motionless, like a pig that had been pierced to death, curled up quietly and slept in the water.

The young woman was no longer breathing at the end of her nose.

Kuai Pengju slid down her chin to her neck, her skin was cold and delicate, but he didn't have the heart to feel the side at this time.

His heart was beating loudly and loudly, and the blood was rushing through his body, almost overwhelming the perception of his fingers.

After a long time, he confirmed that the Zhuang family had no pulse, and then looked up at the sixth uncle and others on the shore, and said in a trembling voice:

"Sixth uncle, she's dead."

It's weird.

Why did the woman in the pig cage suddenly float out of the river with a big rock? The sixth uncle was stunned in his heart, and he said again:

"Push her back into the river."

The three of them tried to push the pig cage and the woman's body into the river again, but the strange thing was that no matter how many people pushed the pig cage, it floated under the water, faintly revealing Zhuang's dead body.

“……”

At this time, the people of Kuailiang Village began to feel scared.

Many of them retreated, no longer as excited as they had before the execution, and just wanted to go home and lock the door after they had finished all these chores.

"Drag it a little further."

The sixth uncle commanded again.

Kuai Pengju and Kuai Pengcheng no longer dared to touch the pig cage, the two of them stood in the water, if it weren't for the prestige of the sixth uncle, the two wanted to go ashore immediately and stay away from the female corpse.

In the darkness, the shore was lit with firelight.

Tonight, the people of Kuailiang Village came here to watch the execution, and the people stood in a large row on the bank, and the light of the fire formed a long dragon, illuminating half of the riverbank.

At night, the shadows of the trees on the riverbank reflect the eerie black of the water.

And under this black water, the dead woman's skin was so white that it seemed to reflect light, and against the backdrop of this black water, it showed an ominous and bleak atmosphere.

The long hair was like a nimble water serpent, winding around the woman's body.

'Whoa-whoa-whoa-'

The water rippled, and the long hair swayed back and forth under the water.

The woman's naked body is clearly visible.

Kuai Pengju finally couldn't bear the pressure in his heart:

"I'm going back to shore—"

He turned around and wanted to leave, but Kuai Laosan suddenly said: "You let go, I will float, I will take her to a deeper place, I don't believe she dares to do anything!" ”

"Good!"

As soon as the sixth uncle heard this, he shouted loudly, "The third brother is right, she Zhuang has done something wrong, how can she have the face to become a ghost, that is, she has become a ghost, we also have to ask her, how dare she smear Kuailiang Village." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the originally frightened villagers suddenly became confident again:

"Yes, she Zhuang steals people, even if she dies, she should be, how can she have a face and become a ghost."

Kuai Laosan was bold, and he shouted to Kuai Pengcheng and Kuai Pengju:

"Let go!"

After the two of them let go, he grabbed the pig cage with both hands and pushed it forward, and his body took advantage of this push, and the whole person jumped out like a fish, kicked his legs hard, and instantly slipped out of a distance of more than a zhang with the corpse in the cage.

When he reached the center of the river, he let go of his hand - the cage with the corpse and the boulder did not sink to the bottom of the water as everyone expected, but floated strangely on the surface of the water.

'Boom, boom! ’

The bamboo cage floated and sank on the surface of the water, like a buoy hanging on a fishing line sprinkled into the water, and Zhuang's body was swallowed up by the black water for a while, and suddenly surfaced again, which made people tremble and be frightened.

"Sixth Uncle—"

When the villagers, who had managed to muster up their courage before, saw this scene, they began to be afraid again.

Someone shouted to Uncle Six and whispered:

"That's not the way to go."

After all, Zhuang was a thief and was sentenced to death by the village.

Although the villagers think that they are righteous, it is not a good thing for the Zhuang family to steal a man, once it spreads, the entire Kuailiang Village will become the laughing stock of the surrounding villages and towns.

"This river is a branch of the Shangjia River, if the body of the Zhuang family is allowed to float like this, if it goes down the river, it will be found by then, our faces will be lost, how will the village guys marry wives then?"

Most of the people in the village are close relatives and always have to intermarry with the outside world.

If the situation in the village is known, many young people will be beaten as singles.

The sixth uncle also knew the seriousness of the problem.

"It seems that this river can't cure this slut!"

The old man gritted his teeth and said:

"This slut was restless when she was alive, and when she died, she would torture people and pull her back."

After complaining twice, he suddenly shouted:

"Third child, pull her back, since you can't sink her pond, pull her back and find another way to deal with it."

It's getting late.

In normal times, the villagers would have already fallen asleep, but tonight they were delayed because of this incident, and they have not slept yet.

The river was damp and cold, and Zhuang's body sank to the bottom of the pond, and the villagers gradually became a little impetuous, and they were all anxious to leave this place.

Hearing what Uncle Sixth said, some people knew that it couldn't be easy tonight, and couldn't help but say worriedly:

"Sixth uncle, how to deal with this?"

"Do you have to find a cemetery and bury her?" Someone asked.

"How can such an unclean slut be worthy of burial—"

"What about that?"

Everyone is gossiping.

The sixth uncle, who had not spoken again, suddenly sighed.

She glanced at the corpse in the river with some pity, and said again:

"People die greatly, death is dead, what's the use of mentioning past grievances-"

"She is not good, and she also gave birth to a full week for the fifth child."

At this, the old woman was taken aback, and turned her head to look around:

"Hey, what about Manzhou?"

When she shouted, the crowd that had been worried before suddenly froze.

Many people stepped back from each other and looked left and right:

"Didn't see the full week—"

The sixth uncle's heart sank and shouted: "Old five! Old Five! Where's your house? ”

"Where's the fifth?"

After she asked, everyone held torches and searched for a long time, and suddenly someone shouted: "The fifth child is here." ”

With a calm face and a cowering attitude, Kuai Lao Wu was pushed out, and the sixth uncle saw that his hands were folded in his cuffs, and his daughter-in-law died, he was a little unhappy as if he was watching a play.

But this is not the time to blame him.

"Old Five, where is your family?"

"Who knows."

Kuai Lao Wu replied nonchalantly.

He was unkempt, his face was smeared with dirt from nowhere, and his clothes were shabby, and he looked very cold.

The sixth uncle was almost choked by his answer, and he said:

"That girl has always been with her mother, maybe she is hiding somewhere."

"You ......"

The sixth uncle was so angry with him that she couldn't speak, and at this moment, the sixth uncle said impatiently:

"Don't make any noise, is this the time to talk about this?"

He said with some annoyance:

"Man Zhou is such an adult, he can't lose it, solve the matter in front of him first, and then the people in the village will look for Man Zhou together!"

As soon as he made the final decision, no one else said more.

Although the sixth uncle was worried, she had been with this old man for most of her life, and she knew his temperament very well, and if she insisted on asking again, it would only anger him.

"Ugh."

She sighed, "It's just that I'm pitiful for Man Zhou and have become a motherless child." ”

……

The episode here came to an end, and on the other side, after Kuai Laosan pushed the woman in the pig cage into the middle of the river, he heard the sixth uncle speak and wanted to drag Zhuang's body ashore.

He was tired, cold, and a little scared, and he always felt that under the long, messy hair, there seemed to be a pair of gloomy eyes staring at him.

But the sixth uncle is right, he can't throw Zhuang's corpse naked in the water like this, what would it look like if it was seen?

At that time, not only Kuailiang Village, but even their family's face will be lost!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth again, swam to the side of the pig cage, and reached out to grab the cage.

Under this grasp, Kuai Laosan didn't know if it was because he had been soaked in water for a long time and his body was hypothermic, and he felt that the cage was more icy and heavier.

The two didn't want to agree, but the eyes of the sixth uncle on the shore were staring, and the longer this matter dragged on, the more evil it became, and everyone didn't want to stay here for a long time.

The sixth uncle has already said that after hauling the corpse ashore, he will find a way to deal with it, which is much better than soaking in water like this and not getting up or down.

The trio worked together to drag the body ashore.

The water in the cage flowed down the shore, and Zhuang's curled body lay quietly in the cage like a shrimp.

"Sixth, sixth uncle, how to do it?"

Kuai Laosan also dragged his heavy body ashore.

He is usually strong and energetic, and rarely suffers, but now he has been soaked in the water for a while, but he has a feeling of powerlessness.

A large stream of water poured into his trouser leg with a 'bang', causing him to step back and almost fall into the water.

Kuai Laosan's body was settled, he barely stepped on the mud by the river with his bare feet, bowed his head and bent down to twist his trouser leg with his hand and twisted it vigorously - the water was squeezed out, and his whole person suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The other two village neighbors who went into the water were in a similar situation to him, and the two of them supported each other to barely stand firm and not fall into the water.

The people on the shore gathered around a corpse in a pig cage, and everyone discussed what to do.

"If you want me to say, chop it up and feed it to the dogs."

"Let's light the sky lantern—"

Everyone came up with ideas.

The sixth uncle's face showed an unbearable look, and her eyes fell on the woman in the pig cage.

'Goo-goo-'

Two strange noises were heard.

I don't know if the sixth uncle is too old to look away, she always feels that the woman's water-soaked black engine has moved.

"Ah, is Man Zhouniang still alive?"

She exclaimed.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding villagers were frightened enough.

"What? Not dead? ”

The people who had been discussing what to do with the corpse hurriedly retreated, and a huge clearing was quickly vacated around Zhuang's corpse, and only messy footprints remained on the ground.

The sixth uncle also retreated in a panic, but the ground by the river was slippery, and he was old and almost fell.

If it weren't for the villagers holding him up at the critical moment, he would have been pushed to the ground and trampled on.

Frightened, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, how can a person not die if he has been immersed in water for so long, I'm afraid of losing my eyes, right?" ”

The sixth uncle's prestige is relatively high, and as soon as he spoke, the scene was immediately calmed.

The people who wanted to flee in panic slowly stopped.

"Uncle Sixth is right, the Zhuang family is not a three-headed and six-armed monster, how can it be that it has been flooded for so long and not died-"

Everyone stopped and slowly turned their heads.

The crowd gathered around again, staring at the corpses in the cage.

……

In the silence, only the water in Zhuang's hair flowed down the corpse, making a small sound of 'Sisuo'.
