Chapter 20: A Telephone Call from the Bottom of the River
A group of 12 people were all buried at the bottom of the Yellow River.
It's a bit weird to think about it.
After all, the corpse digger is also known as the Yellow River water ghost, and living in the Yellow River, he naturally understands the characteristics of the Yellow River.
Everyone has some unique way of preserving their lives.
With such massive casualties, unless there is something big under the river, someone is deliberately murdering!
After Zhang Lingchuan listened, he asked for a long time: "What kind of conditions did that Taoist priest prescribe?" ”
The water monkey snorted: "As long as you can salvage that corpse, you can get a reward of one million!" ”
"However, even if the body is not recovered, as long as you take the order, you can get a 100,000 yuan for hard work."
Million!
My eyes widened when I heard this.
If it were me, even if I couldn't find the corpse after going down the river, I would be able to get 100,000 yuan for nothing, and I wouldn't lose anything.
No wonder the corpse diggers scrambled to jump into the river.
You must know that at that time, ordinary corpse diggers salvaged a corpse ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands.
Not to mention one million, even 100,000 yuan is a sky-high price.
It's just that the more I listened, the more I felt that something was wrong here.
If you can't find a corpse, you're willing to give money, isn't this a pit?
There is no such thing as pie in the sky.
But human greed often leads people to an uncontrolled realm.
"So many people disappeared at once, and you didn't report to the public?"
I couldn't help but ask.
The water monkey sneered: "How many of the people who came to the Yellow River to fish for corpses have a clean background?" Besides, since the Taoist priest dares to come up with this vicious trick, he is not afraid of you reporting to the public! ”
Zhang Lingchuan looked at the water monkey expressionlessly and asked him, "Then what do you want to do when you find us?" ”
The water monkey looked at us nervously for a long time before he said, "Because you are a capable Dharma King, and you have come to find Wang Chongshan, I want to beg you to go down to the river and rescue all my brothers." ”
Dharma King, in fact, is the people's honorific title for people with metaphysical and Taoist abilities.
Zhang Lingchuan didn't show much joy when he heard him wear this high hat.
"You just said that your brothers died at the bottom of the Yellow River, and then you asked us to save them, isn't it a contradiction?"
However, at this time, the water monkey became a little nervous.
He approached us, suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Maybe they're not dead?" I also received a call from Shigeyama yesterday. ”
I glanced at Zhang Lingchuan and blurted out in unison, how is this possible!
The dark waves under the Yellow River are turbulent, how can people survive underground?
The water monkey immediately took out a worn-out mobile phone from his pocket and stuffed it into my arms.
"Really, every night, Chongshan calls me and asks me to save him!"
"He said he was under the water, but he couldn't find his way."
The water monkey said with a handful of snot and tears, and fell to his knees in front of us, begging us to save his brothers.
As if confirming the words of the water monkey, the mobile phone in my arms suddenly rang.
I was startled by a shrill ringing ringtone, which showed that it was Wang Chongshan calling.
The water monkey let out a high-pitched cry: "Come on, come on, they're calling again-"
Zhang Lingchuan stretched out his hand and pressed the amplification, but there was a sound of electricity on the other end.
After a few seconds, the sound of electricity faded away, and I heard a panicked cry for help.
"Big brother, big brother help, help-"
But the signal didn't seem to be good, and after the words fell, there was a burst of electricity.
Immediately after, there was a cry on the other end of the phone.
At first, there was a faint sound, and at the end, there was a large number of ghosts crying wolf, and I couldn't help but take a step back.
The cry was accompanied by the sound of water, and in the gurgling, there seemed to be the gasping sound of an unknown object.
It rang for a full minute before the phone hung up.
I turned my head to look at Zhang Lingchuan a little sluggishly: "This can't be someone's prank, right?" ”
Zhang Lingchuan immediately pressed the callback.
But inside the phone, it came: "I'm sorry, the call you dialed can't be connected......"
He frowned slightly: "It's not a prank, it's a real call." ”
I looked at my phone in surprise: "Are they really alive under the water?" ”
When the water monkey heard this, he also looked up at us suddenly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if he were dying.
"Please, two Dharma Kings, save my brothers!"
"As long as you can take them away from the Yellow River, my water monkey will be a cow and a horse in this life, and I will honor the two."
Zhang Lingchuan didn't react, only replied that he knew, and then took me to turn around and leave the broken house.
I asked him what was going on with that phone call.
Zhang Lingchuan glanced at me and said, "That's a ghost call."
"Ghost call?" On a blue day, I was shocked by these words and broke out in a cold sweat.
How can ghosts still call?
Zhang Lingchuan said that the soul is an extremely strong energy magnetic field, and it can send out distress signals through its own magnetic field.
In other words, this water monkey must be the most trusted person in Wang Chongshan and his gang before they were alive.
So they died, and with the obsession of their lives, this magnetic field directly interfered with the water monkeys.
"Where are we going now?"
Seeing Zhang Lingchuan walking forward without stopping, I couldn't help but ask him.
Zhang Lingchuan said in a deep voice: "Go down to the river." ”
Down the river?
Although I could swim, I didn't get to the point of jumping directly into the Yellow River.
Seeing that my face was embarrassed, Zhang Lingchuan sneered: "Cowardice! ”
Then he led me into an alley and knocked a few times on a wooden door.
The door creaked open, and the person inside was Kong Sanniang.
She was still wearing a sexy little suspender, and her mouth looked like she was forever chewing gum.
Kong Sanniang tilted her head, revealing the things in the room: "Everything you want is ready." ”
I followed Zhang Lingchuan into it and asked him what it was.
He crouched on the ground and flipped through the pile and gave me a diving goggle.
"These are diving suits, which can save lives when they go down to the bottom of the Yellow River."
I suddenly realized, it turned out that Zhang Lingchuan was going to buy equipment for Kong Sanniang?
"It's not cheap, is it?" I looked at the pile of awesome equipment and couldn't help but sigh.
Who knew that Kong Sanniang exhaled from her nostrils: "I'll shoot?" Still need to spend money to buy it? Who do you look down on! ”
I looked at Zhang Lingchuan in disbelief.
"Co-author, you asked Kong Sanniang to use it for us for a day, just so that she could help us steal things?"
Zhang Lingchuan cleared his throat: "What do you kid know." ”
"Kong Sanniang, you come on."
Kong Sanniang clasped her hands to her chest and spit out the chewing gum in her mouth: "There is a big search boat parked on the edge of the Yellow River, and there are a few ghosts standing in it. If nothing else, they also want to go into the water, and this equipment is from them. ”
I didn't understand what that meant.
Kong Sanniang's face was coquettish, and she snorted coldly: "Oops, you are so stupid!" Those guys are river! ”
