Zhang Lingchuan continued to go back to bed and prepare for bed: "Hurry up and sleep, I have to go to the pier tomorrow morning." ”

I sat on the bed with the pendant in my hand, but I couldn't sleep.

Zhang Lingchuan told me just now that this jade contains the soul of the female corpse!

No wonder Kong Sanniang took the initiative to return this thing to us.

There is a brake hidden in the pendant, who can withstand ordinary people?

The black bruises on Kong Sanniang's neck just now are probably also caused by that female ghost.

Seeing that I was sitting on the bed and not moving, Zhang Lingchuan said in a daze.

"What's there to be afraid of, you still carried someone all the way."

It's okay if he doesn't say it.

As soon as I said that, I remembered that sticky feeling in my heart again, and I was so scared that goosebumps rose.

Sleeping with ghosts?

I looked at the jade pendant with great complexity, no wonder Zhang Lingchuan said that it could temporarily suppress the grimace mask on my arm.

I didn't sleep very well that night, and I dreamed of all kinds of demons and monsters all night.

After being woken up by Zhang Lingchuan, his body sank to death.

"Where are we going?"

Zhang Lingchuan sold a pass and said, I'll know when the time comes.

Everything was left in the hotel.

When he went out, Zhang Lingchuan went straight to the front desk of the hotel.

"Boss, you are well-informed, can you help me see which corpse salvage team this person belongs to?"

I saw Zhang Lingchuan directly take a photo of Wang Chongshan on the table, and wondered if he was confused.

It's right that we want to find Wang Chongshan, but it's not just someone who can show him a photo.

Unexpectedly, the boss stared carefully at Wang Chongshan in the photo, and after a long, long time, he shook his head.

"I, old man Zhao, have never sold news of the dead."

I don't know where this old man came from, how did he conclude that Wang Chongshan is dead?

After glancing at Zhang Lingchuan, he turned his head to Old Man Zhao and said, "You make a price." ”

Old man Zhao could only point to his mouth, and then stretched out his finger to the sky.

Zhang Lingchuan's eyes narrowed halfway, and he spoke out after a few seconds: "I know." ”

He put away the money on his desk and left the hotel without looking back.

As soon as I was about to open my mouth to ask Zhang Lingchuan what was going on, I heard him say in my ear in a very low voice: "Don't talk, we are being targeted." ”

Targeted?

We are honest, but we just came to Zhongzhou to find someone.

No, a corpse to be exact.

Can this also be targeted?

Zhang Lingchuan's face did not change, and he took me into a small alley in a twist and turn, and then waited for the rabbit at a corner.

After a while, a sneaky figure quietly followed.

"Catch him!" Zhang Lingchuan gave an order, and I rushed out blindly, grabbed the man and rushed over.

But his figure was so strange that I caught him, but I threw myself into the air.

The next second, I saw Zhang Lingchuan walking over with the back of his neck.

"You're quite agile, let's say, who told you to follow us."

The man was in tatters and looked like a man named Hanako.

He shrank his head back in some fear, and knelt down towards Zhang Lingchuan with an ordinary sound.

I watched in amazement as he kowtowed a few times on the ground before I heard him say it.

"My name is Water Monkey, and I'm also a corpse digger."

His eyes lit up: "You two are Dharma Kings with hands and eyes to the sky, please save my brothers!" ”

Zhang Lingchuan asked him, "Who are your brothers?" ”

The water monkey crawled on the ground and suddenly couldn't cry.

It took him a long time before he adjusted his emotions and raised his head.

"My brothers are all poor people who are working hard to survive in the Yellow River!"

Zhang Lingchuan stretched out his hand to help him: "You get up and speak." ”

That's when I found out that one of the water monkey's wrists had been cut off!

He looked around with some fear, and then led us to a very dilapidated house.

"Please come in and talk."

After the water monkey finished speaking, he opened the door of the house.

There was a musty smell inside, and all the torn socks and rotten clothes were piled together.

Seeing that Zhang Lingchuan stepped in directly, I had no choice but to follow in.

The water monkey lit a kerosene lamp and told us about Wang Chongshan through the dim light.

With his intact hand, he took the cigarette handed over by Zhang Lingchuan, and after taking a sharp puff, he looked out the door and talked about the past slowly.

"If you weren't forced to do something so desperate, who would want to do such a deadly job?"

The water monkey looks to be in his thirties this year, and in his own words, his family has lived on the banks of the Yellow River for generations.

Since my father's generation, what I have done is this corpse harvesting business.

Because he has excellent water properties and can avoid the attacks of various fish monsters in the river, he got the nickname of this water monkey.

I remembered that when I caught him just now, he slid away like a loach, which shows that this man does have some skills.

"Then again, the Wang Chongshan you are looking for came to the Yellow River a year ago."

"At that time, Wang Chongshan was young, so he had to do this with a Taoist priest. We saw that he was a good young man, and we persuaded him. Who knew that this kid was like a demon, and he had to go down to the river. ”

When Zhang Lingchuan heard this, his expression was not very good-looking.

He asked the water monkeys, "What is there under the Yellow River?" ”

Along the way, I also followed Zhang Lingchuan and heard a lot of rumors about the Yellow River.

It's like the Yellow River dug up a thousand-year-old snake demon, a 10,000-year-old giant tortoise, and a ghost coffin of the Yellow River......

Actually, I can understand that.

After all, the water of the Yellow River is muddy, and it churns like a roar.

There was no end in sight at the bottom of the riverbed, and no one knew what terrible things were hiding underneath.

Hearing our question, the water monkey's expression was not very natural.

His words flickered, and he only spoke under Zhang Lingchuan's constant questioning.

"Wang Chongshan and I have a good relationship, and later, by chance, I found out that he wrote a letter to his family, in which he mentioned some grimaces."

"At that time, I suspected that he came to be a corpse digger for an impure purpose."

"After I asked again and again, I learned that Wang Chongshan didn't know where he heard that there was a big tomb hidden under the Yellow River!"

A tomb at the bottom of the Yellow River?

If it had been before, I would have scolded this Wang Chongshan for having a problem with his brain.

But after all this, I don't dare to assert anything.

"How dare Wang Chongshan be sure that there is a tomb at the bottom of the Yellow River?"

The water monkey also shook his head: "I don't know, but he believes it." So I came to retrieve the corpse, but also to find the grave. ”

Could it be that Wang Chongshan's death has something to do with the so-called tomb?

The water monkey said that Wang Chongshan's disappearance was related to a mysterious customer.

"That was last month, and our group was resting in the team, and suddenly we saw a Dao Robe Dharma King."

"He told us to go and get a body that had been dead for more than ten years."

When I heard this, I thought to myself, isn't this a sincere attempt to make things difficult for people?

Zhang Lingchuan said that there are also rules for the work of retrieving corpses, and if the same corpse cannot be recovered three times, then it cannot be fished again.

This kind of corpse, according to legend, was favored by the water ghost grandfather and deliberately left as a servant.

Scoop up a corpse more than ten years ago, and nakedly force the corpse to be taboo.

"So you all rejected the Taoist priest?"

But the water monkey closed his eyes in pain.

"No!"

The Taoist priest made a condition that all the corpse diggers could not refuse. There were twelve corpse diggers in our team, and all of them went into the water. ”

A condition that all corpse diggers can't refuse? How tempting is that!

But the water monkey said, "However, no matter how good the conditions are, they will not be able to go ashore again." ”

"Our corpse salvage team is a group of thirteen people, except for me, the remnant number, the rest of the brothers, all of them have gone and never returned!"
