ah? !
Only then did Bai Kai react suddenly, and hastily pushed through the crowd and entered the room.
It took a long time to get dressed before coming out.
Both the master and the apprentice didn't say goodbye to the victim, they walked straight out of the yard.
Everyone watched the backs of Bai Kai, master and apprentice.
The victim's eyes were very complicated, and he didn't know whether it was because of what Bai Kai said that made him feel guilty at this time, or because he felt a little resentful because Bai Kai exposed the family scandal.
Qin Yiheng and I immediately followed.
After leaving the yard, there is a secluded path outside. Baikai and his apprentice entered a small poplar grove along the path.
When we followed up, we found that the poplar forest was quite dark.
It seemed that all the light was absorbed by the sparse branches, and the visibility was very poor.
Fortunately, the back of Bai Kai's master and apprentice can still be discerned.
We just walked behind with one deep foot and one shallow foot.
After leaving the poplar forest, there is a feeling of enlightenment.
Although it was still night, the light suddenly returned to normal, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
Outside the poplar forest is a river tens of meters wide. The river was very calm, but at this time there were sparkling waves.
At a glance, I saw a few small wooden houses built by the river, and Bai Kai and his master were standing on the trestle bridge next to the house and talking to people.
I think. This should already be another incident about Bai Kai.
Walked over to have a look, as expected.
Bai Kai was not so thin at this time, and put on the white shirt he was used to.
His master is also visibly older, and his hair has thinned a lot.
Bai Kai was squatting by the river smoking a cigarette, while his master was pointing and asking about the situation of another person.
Just listen to Master Bai Kai's words, Yujia, please tell us the whole story in detail.
good! We are relieved when you are old. Otherwise, the whole family can't afford it.
A man who looked to be in his fifties replied.
The man was thin and appeared to be malnourished. In tatters. At first glance, it looks like it has been living outside in the wind and sun all year round.
The man pointed to the river and said, you probably know that the mouth of the Taohe River is the lower reaches, and it is also a narrow bay. So a lot of things upstream will be washed up here. Our ancestors were fishermen, and we still live with fishing nets in our life. The harvest is not good on weekdays, and young people in the village can go out to work. It's really inconvenient for us to bring our family with us, so we can only beg for a meal with Taohekou.
We are really not devoid of conscience! We also have to live!
Master Bai Kai nodded, as if to express his understanding.
The man pointed to a wooden boat parked by the trestle.
As the old saying goes, people rely on water for food, and there are no guarantees that there will be unexpected events.
As the sun grows, anyone who fails to keep it clean will be swept into the bottom of the river by the river. Over the years, our family has seen a lot of people who come and go and can't find other people's bodies. He didn't dare to follow along.
But it happened that some people knew that their family members had fallen into the water, or that a kid had drowned while playing with water. When the family finds the downstream, they will come to our family to help fish. Our family guards the mouth of Taohe River and is most familiar with the water situation here. They are all from the folks in the village, so there is no way not to help. At the beginning, we really didn't intend to ask for money from others.
But they come and go again and again, which always makes us salvage the corpses, which is also unlucky. Do you think this is the reason
That's why we started to collect money at a clearly marked price later on. This is not stealing, and it will not be punished, right
What we think is also quite simple. The children at home still have to go to school. It all takes money.
I have to save money!
understand. Master Bai Kai nodded.
As if he had finally found a bosom friend, the man immediately held Master Bai Kai's hands and said, Master, we are not as good as those young people who can go out to work. We didn't intend to do this business of picking up corpses. But there's really nothing else to do.
Years ago, I thought that now that there are fewer and fewer fish, I would have to move them sooner or later.
But before we moved, this happened to our family!
One night, we were too idle and didn't fall asleep. Went outside to smoke a pipe. I saw that there seemed to be schools of fish swimming at the bottom of the river.
A while ago, I heard that Shangtou Township was repairing projects upstream, and there was quite a commotion. I also wondered if it scares all the fish from the upper reaches to the Taohe Estuary
This makes our family run into each other, so we must get off the net. This is pie in the sky!
Thinking about it this way, our family can't even care about smoking. Quickly pull the boat on the net.
But as soon as we rolled the boat into the river, the school of fish disappeared.
We had a little drink the night before, so we thought it was the wine that was tricking our eyes. But I'm still not reconciled, it's all money!
Quickly looked around carefully, be good, that turtle grandson fish appeared again!
We dare not wait, get off the net as soon as possible! But this time the Internet is broken!
This net seems to be entangled in something amazing! There was a clacking sound, which made people panic when they heard it. The boat was so wobbly that we almost fell into the water.
Let's use paddles to pick out the nets. There are soft-shelled turtles in the mouth of Taohe River. The big one is said to be as big as a pot, and it is so powerful in the water. We suspected that we were catching a big turtle. This thing doesn't need to be knocked out, it can't be picked up.
But when we just took a look, this is a turtle. It's obvious that someone is tossing about in the Internet.
Thinking about it now, I must feel scared. Our family has lived by the water all our lives, and we have seen many people with good water skills. How could anyone make such a big noise in the water
But at that time we didn't care to think so much, this is a big living person, we can't just let it die, can't we
He hurriedly woke up his family members, and took his life to pull this man into the boat.
But this person didn't move when he got on the boat! It's dead!
We're in a diaper, we're scared, and we can't tell what happened.
Immediately wanted to rescue this person, but when he looked at this person carefully, his whole body was already covered with bubbles. That swollen head is bigger than both of me. It can't be a living person!
But obviously we watched him tossing in the water! That's so powerful, how can a dead person make such a fuss
At that time, our family was so frightened that no one dared to move the place.
Let's send our wives and children back quickly, stay away from the corpse, and think about it.
We are honest people, and we don't have a heart. After thinking about it, I still don't know what to do.
If the corpse is seen and left alone, let it float in the river, maybe it will go somewhere. It can also be fooled. But we fished it up, so we can't put it in the water quietly.
The officials don't care about it, but this evil spirit will not let him go. Not everyone said that the corpses fished up from the river could not be put into the water again. It is said that the corpse is stained with yang energy, and if it is put in again, it will die again, and it will come and go to harm people.
So our family was also scared, so we put the body in the boat and didn't dare to move it.
Thinking that we will report the crime the next morning.
Our family didn't sleep at all that night. Finally waited until dawn, opened the door and took a look, the corpse was gone!
What do you say this is!
We have asked about how many miles around. No one has ever seen this corpse. I have never heard of anyone drowning. Then you always said that this corpse can still be fine on the boat, and ran away by itself? Couldn't it be that the old turtle in Taohe Estuary dragged the corpse down and ate it
Ever since this incident happened, we have been on tenterhooks.
For some days, I didn't even dare to go into the water. But this is not the way. Let's just point to Taohe Estuary to support our family. It's okay, we have to go into the water.
It's really a disaster to get into the water, but it's fine during the day. At night, there was a rattling sound under the boat, and we were lying in the house, not even daring to open our eyes.
Our family said that it was the corpse that identified our boat as a bed. During the day, the corpse goes to the river to wait for someone to die as a substitute, and at night, it runs on the boat to sleep!
You travel all the time, and you always say that this is not scary. So far our family has decided to move out. But I don't understand this matter completely, our family is afraid that we will be entangled by this corpse when we go to other places. I dare not just leave like this. That's why you, the old man, are required to come over and take a look. For your kindness, our family will kneel down and kowtow to you first!
Saying that, the man knelt down with a plop.
Master Bai Kai quickly helped the man up, turned around and asked Bai Kai, stop smoking. Learn something serious!
Bai Kai had already exhausted his cigarettes at this time.
Hearing what Master said, he dug another one out of his pocket. He smiled and replied, Master, I don't have to smoke this cigarette. Isn't this a tribute to the lonely soul and wild ghost? You have also said that respect is the rule. Why don't you come and learn from a cigarette
Bai Kai handed the cigarette to Master.
Let me ask you, you have also listened to what the victim said just now. Did you hear something? Master Bai Kai asked.
Master, look at you, there are always exams, can students not get tired of studying? You have to be entertaining. If you want me to tell you, don't listen to him, our family, our family. We are not with his family. After a while I'll get on the boat and experience it, isn't that all it takes? Bai Kai said that one leg had already stepped into the boat.
stop! If you are reckless, something will happen sooner or later! Master said with some concern, be cautious, understand
Understand! Master is right! It is necessary to wear tight-fitting clothes, otherwise the legs will be a little immobile. As Bai Kai spoke, he lifted up his trousers, but he still got into the boat.
The wooden boat didn't look very strong. As soon as Bai Kai sat in, he shook back and forth.
I don't know much about boats, and I don't like fishing very much. Anyway, as far as I am concerned, this boat feels very fake to me. There is an external motor at the stern. It looks rusty. The whole boat is about six or seven meters long and very narrow. A pile of fishing nets piled up on the bow. There are two very long oars on board. I don't know exactly how to row to make the boat move.
I whispered to Qin Yiheng, did you see anything? Is that a water ghost
Qin Yiheng was very engrossed, and said without taking his eyes off, he didn't know. In our current state, our perception of our surroundings is not very accurate. So I can't make a conclusion, let's see first.
As Qin Yiheng was talking, I saw Bai Kai holding water in his hands. Maybe because of the moonlight, the whole river looks very clear. It seems that you can see the bottom of the river clearly.
Suddenly, I seemed to really see something.
In the water, I saw a hazy shadow rushing past under Bai Kai's hand.
After a while, he came back again.
It seems to be following the rhythm of boiling water repeatedly.
Bai Kai said to his master, look. This fish just ate my bait. This starts to be obedient. Fish are better than our eyes! Said Bai Kai picked up the oar, shouted at the fish, quickly take me to see the things in the river, I have mustard with me. you know.
Feeling awkward, Bai Kai rowed towards the center of the river.
At first, the fish could still see the silhouette dimly in his sight, but after getting farther and farther away, he couldn't find it at all.
All he could see was Bai Kai's back under the moonlight, staggering towards the center of the river.
After all, Bai Kai had never been a fisherman. Boating is pretty much out of the question.
So for a long time, he didn't move much.
After nearly twenty minutes, Bai Kai stopped. He picked up the fishing net and threw it into the river.
Afterwards, a small dot lit up beside Bai Kai, as if he was smoking.
Master Bai Kai shook his head silently when he saw this on the shore.
The net is cast down. But the lake is as calm as ever.
I finished smoking all the open cigarettes, and nothing unusual happened.
Bai Kai waved to his master from a distance and shouted, Master. No problem? Is that man lying to us
Unexpectedly, Bai Kai's voice had just reached the shore.
Suddenly, I vaguely saw something jumping out of the water beside the boat.
The thing stayed in the air for a while, then fell into the water again.
Then Bai Kai shouted again, Damn it! Fish are crazy!
I saw the fish that seemed to have been swimming silently with the white boat, but now it kept jumping up, falling, and jumping up again.
As soon as I saw it, I rushed to the shore!
broken. There must be something in the water. The fish was running for its life. Qin Yiheng said in a low voice.
I let out an ah, and didn't have time to communicate with Qin Yiheng.
There was a strange noise in the river, and the white boat began to shake non-stop. The water under the boat churned for a while, as if it was boiling! Apparently there's something under the surface.
Bai Kai managed to keep his balance, so he didn't slip and fall into the water.
I vaguely heard Bai Kai swear something, and waved to his master. As soon as the man took off his shirt, he jumped into the river with a fish leap!
As soon as the water splashed by Bai Kai fell, he disappeared.
Master Bai Kai called Bai Kai several times on the bank to come back, but no one responded. He had no choice but to ask the fisherman again anxiously, did you have something to say? Now that life is at stake, you must not hide it from me.
The fisherman looked aggrieved and shook his head quickly.
Master Bai Kai saw that he seemed to be an honest man, not like he could talk nonsense.
I had no choice but to walk quickly to the edge of the trestle bridge, and kept pacing back and forth to wait and see.
Qin Yiheng and I also walked to the trestle bridge.
I saw only the small wooden boat shaking gently on the empty river. Not even a single splash around.
Now even I am a little anxious.
I don't know whether what we see now in the belly of this monster is the past time and space, or another existence.
I was worried that if Bai Kai really died today, then Bai Kai who was originally in the stomach of this monster would also be finished.
I said, Qin Er, what can we do for you
Don't worry, Bai Kai is a master. Qin Yiheng comforted me and said, look.
Qin Yiheng raised his hand and pointed, and then I saw something strange. The boat on the river seemed to be moving slowly. It was like being pushed slowly by an undercurrent. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it.
Master Bai Kai has obviously discovered this.
He stared fixedly at the ship. I saw the boat getting closer and closer to the shore.
About ten meters away from the shore, it stopped.
I couldn't help but get nervous. I dare not blink my eyes. This feeling is that you know what is going to happen, but you have to wait for it to happen all the time.
Finally, when everyone's attention was completely attracted by the ship.
I heard a scream! A person jumped up from the water suddenly, half of his body was put into the boat. The boat shook violently in an instant, and at the same time Bai Kai's voice came out! Master! Scared you? You have to hold on!
Master Bai Kai was expressionless, but I still felt that he was relieved in his heart.
Master Bai Kai said angrily, how old are you? Still playing this child's trick? Come ashore, what's in the water
Bai Kai pointed at himself. is it! Then the whole person withdrew from the cabin and back into the water.
Swimmed out from the side of the cabin.
I took a look, and couldn't help but let out an ah.
Under Bai Kai's body, he seemed to be riding something white, and that thing supported him like a strange swimming ring.
When I was wondering, I suddenly recognized what that thing was.
The man gasped.
Is it a person? Bai Kai riding alone? The fuck is he Urashima Taro? After a while, the river god recruited his son-in-law
drive! Bai Kai pretended to make gestures. Slowly and finally approached the shore.
Wait until he lands. Not caring about wringing out the water on his pants, he went back and dragged the man to the shore.
I immediately heard the cry of the fisherman next to me, that's it! Here is the corpse!
Do not talk nonsense. Get a knife. Bai didn't reply at the beginning. He bent down and straightened the corpse. He said to his master again, master. This thing is really heavy.
Master Bai Kai kept silent and nodded slightly.
At this time, I finally saw the appearance of the corpse. This is indeed an unrecognizable corpse that has been soaked in water. The corpse was very swollen, with a bulging belly. It could barely be seen that it was a man. As for the age, the looks are all indistinguishable.
The fisherman quickly got the knife and handed it to Bai Kai in a panic.
For the first time, Bai Kai was not satisfied with the knife, because the fisherman brought a kitchen knife over. Then I changed to a knife that should be used for killing fish, which was sharper. Only then did he shake the knife in his hand, and the stomach of the corpse was cut open with one blow.
As soon as a small cut was made on the corpse, a large amount of sewage gushed out from the wound in an instant.
A stench suddenly hit his nostrils.
I covered my nose and looked, Bai Kai was looking for something in the sewage. When I took a closer look, I almost vomited out of nausea. I saw a large number of bug-like things writhing in the sewage. Bai Kai picked up one casually and let the master take a look. He said to himself, so this thing really exists.
