Just when the child's words fell,
In the stream, there were two courageous people who propped up a boat at some point, cast a fishing net, and salvaged the body that had been floating in the water.
"Look, look, the body has been salvaged."
A villager yelled, and after the old men almost got off their breath, the boat quickly went ashore with two people and a dead body.
Those old people were so angry that they couldn't speak for a while, if they hadn't been supported by the younger generation in time, helping them pat their chests to smooth their breath, they might be so angry that they would not be able to stand still.
At this time, more villagers gathered to watch the two people going ashore and the corpse dragged ashore by fishing nets.
Those two were two young men, standing on the shore quite proudly at the moment: "Uncles, look, our brothers salvaged the corpse and brought it ashore, nothing happened."
"On the contrary, he has to thank our brothers, who allowed him to rest in peace after his death, and had the opportunity to rest in peace."
The direction of the two people's speech was towards the elderly who tried their best to prevent the salvage of the corpse. They wanted to say something more, but the villagers who supported the old man stared at them and told them not to say a few words.
But at this moment, an accident happened!
There was a scream from the villagers surrounding the salvaged body, and everyone looked horrified.
"He, he, he...why has no face!!"
The others were taken aback and looked up one after another, and they all screamed together, and saw that the face of the corpse was covered in blood and flesh, as if it had been gnawed off by something ferocious, and the face could be seen. down the bone.
Coupled with the fact that the corpse had been soaked in water for too long, the skin had turned white and swollen, making it even more terrifying.
A few naughty children, taking advantage of the adults not paying attention, got into the crowd and saw this scene, and immediately sat down on the ground in fright, and lost their souls in fright.
Immediately, an adult reprimanded the child, and then drove the child out. The men of each family began to ask their wives to take the child back, so as not to be late for school, saying that this is a man's business, and women, children, old and weak, all go back to the house.
These women are timid and don't want to look at dead people. No need for their men to tell, they have already rushed home with brooms and bamboo sticks one by one.
The other villagers who were still on the shore gathered around the corpse on the ground, discussing what to do next. At this time, the two people who salvaged the corpse from the water were also terrified by the faceless corpse, and shrank aside like frightened quails, not daring to speak nonsense anymore.
Some villagers said to call the police, everyone should protect the body and hand over the body to more professional police.
Some people also said that the corpse should be carried back to the village first, and then wait for the police to come, so it can't be left here to expose the corpse in the wilderness.
Some villagers also said that this person must have been attacked by wild animals when he was going up the mountain. Wild boars wounded people every few years. It is possible that he was killed after being attacked by wild boars and his body was washed down from the mountain by water. The deceased was likely to be from several nearby villages, and he could quickly find clues if he inquired about any family members missing recently.
While everyone was discussing, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed: "This man looks familiar, his height and clothes, he looks like Wang Youcai's grandfather!!"
With this cry, everyone was shocked.
If you look closely, the more you look, the more you look like him. Isn't this exactly Grandpa Wang Youcai? Whether it's height, clothes, or white hair, they all look alike too much.
The people in the same village bowed their heads and saw each other every day. They couldn't have mistaken the person. The corpse floating in the water was Wang Youcai's grandfather.
The exclamation here also alarmed the few old people who had prevented the salvage of the corpse.
"Impossible, how could Wang Laoliu die in the water in front of the village gate for no apparent reason?"
"Let us old men confirm with our own eyes."
"Old man Wang has a birthmark on his chest. Look at the corpse's chest to see if there is a birthmark."
But in the next inspection, a villager said in a trembling voice that there was indeed a birthmark on his chest, and this person must be Wang Youcai's grandfather.
The news quickly spread in the village that Grandpa Wang Youcai was dead, and the corpse salvaged from the stream in the morning was Grandpa Wang Youcai.
"Wang Youcai! Wang Youcai! Something has happened, your grandfather is dead, your grandfather is dead! The body has just been salvaged from the water!"
A child couldn't hide the secret, so he rushed all the way to Wang Youcai's house and knocked on the door desperately.
But no one opened the door at Wang Youcai's house, and it was so quiet that there was no movement at all, as if there was no one in the house
After knocking loudly on the door for a few minutes, no one opened the door. Is there really no one in the room
Just at the moment of doubt, squeak, the door of Wang Youcai's house made an unpleasant sour tooth sound, and only one finger was opened from the inside, and it was pitch black behind the door, without turning on the lights, and without opening the curtains, he pointed at the wide door. Behind the seam stood a man, with only one face visible.
It was a pale, bloodless face with red eyes and bloodshot eyes. It was like a person in an Internet cafe who stayed up all night without sleep. His mental state was very poor, and his hair was messy like it hadn't been washed for ten and a half months.
This face was Wang Youcai's.
The room behind Wang Youcai did not turn on the lights, it was pitch black, and he could not see what was going on in the room.
"What's the matter?" Wang Youcai leaned against the door with his bloodshot eyes open, his eyes were numb, and he looked coldly at the child outside the door.
The child was startled by Wang Youcai's appearance: "Wang, brother Wang Youcai, are you okay?"
"Brother Wang Youcai, your grandfather died. He died in the stream in front of the village and was just salvaged."
After the children in the village finished speaking, Wang Youcai said indifferently: "You are wrong, my grandfather has always been alive."
Just after finishing speaking, the door slammed shut with a bang.
…
When the sun was setting, Fangzheng drove into Changxi Village in a small SUV rented from a car rental company.
It is illegal for Fangzheng to sit in the driver's seat and drive the car, Yiyi to sit in the back row, and children to sit in the front row.
His bulky guitar backpack is in the trunk.
Fangzheng didn't ask the old god stick to borrow his old Jetta, a soaking car.
As the folk saying goes, cars and wives are not allowed to be borrowed. The best way not to hurt feelings is not to borrow a car from a friend. Now the car rental company is very convenient, about 200 a day, and the price increases by about 50 during peak holidays.
"Yiyi, it's a bit late now, let's find a place to stay and go into the mountain tomorrow during the daytime." Fangzheng said to Yiyi while driving.
Today is June 3rd.
In the past three days, he took Yiyi to play all over the playground, the zoo, and watched a newly released domestic cartoon in the cinema. Now it is the third day of playing, he has visited all the city attractions, and Yiyi wants to play outdoors once. Attractions, this was a plan made from the beginning, so Fangzheng specially rented a small SUV and went to the deep mountains.
Fangzheng was a little surprised by the outdoor scenic spot Yiyi chose, but he didn't expect it to be Sanhuangjing.
Sanhuangjing is a famous Taoist mountain, the twenty-eighth of the seventy-two blessed places, and the place where the Yellow Emperor ascended on a dragon in mythology.
If the myth is true, it's so scary...
