"Well, the death of the only male in the Guo family is related to the salvage of the corpse."
Speaking of this, the villager uncle lit a cigarette for himself.
It is a soft pack of Double Happiness cigarettes.
Perhaps it was because my back felt a little chilled when I spoke, so I smoked a cigarette to relieve my anxiety and fear.
Fangzheng politely declined the cigarette offered by the other party.
Said he never learned to smoke.
"Smoking is the lifeblood of a man. If young people don't smoke, they will lose one of the great joys of life." The villager uncle did not insist on passing cigarettes.
Zizi took a few puffs of cigarettes, and under Fangzheng's urging, the villager uncle continued to talk about the following things.
In fact, the latter is not complicated.
Seeing that the corpse had been salvaged for half a month, the entrepreneur began to offer a reward along the river, whoever could enter the seventy-two ghost gates and salvage his son's body would be given one million yuan.
"One million! Money that ordinary people can't save in their lifetime!"
hereby! The villager uncle took another deep puff of his cigarette, as if to calm his mind and suppress the greed in his heart. There is money to be made in this world, but life flowers are the only way to make it. The seventy-two ghost gates are too evil, and not everyone has the courage to enter.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
Soon there were many single men who were barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. They thought they grew up by the river and were familiar with the nature of the water, so they began to volunteer.
Among them is the only seedling of the Guo family.
That is Guo Chengzhi.
As a result, these people entered the seventy-two gates of ghosts, and the others came out inexplicably after being sleepy for a few days, but the only seedling of Guo's family, after entering with two villagers in the same boat, never returned. The seventh day since the three disappeared.
If people have really been killed, according to rural customs, today is the first seven.
That's why Guo Chengzhi's relatives came to the river to cry for their souls.
Fangzheng calculated according to the timeline, since the entrepreneur's son drowned and the body could not be found, until today, there have been more than 20 days.
In twenty days, even if the body could be found, it would probably be eaten by fish until nothing but bones remained.
"Why did the people on the boat of the Guo family disappear? I see that uncle, when you talked about the Guo family just now, your expression was a bit wrong?" Fangzheng stood on the embankment with the village uncle, the wind blowing across his face, The river breeze at night was a bit chilly, and Fangzheng looked at the villager uncle beside him in surprise.
The villager uncle took his last cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stamped it out.
"call!"
A big smoke ring came out of his mouth.
"Because one of the other two friends who entered the seventy-two gates of hell with Guo Chengzhi is the son of my old neighbor! You said that if the Guo family hadn't been greedy, they wouldn't have caused the destruction of other people's families!"
Fangzheng was stunned.
This makes some sense, why the villager uncle is willing to waste time and talk so much with him, a foreigner.
I heard from the village uncle that his old neighbor's son didn't want to go at first, but since Guo Chengzhi came to look for it once, he secretly hid it from his family and accompanied Guo Chengzhi into seventy-two gates of hell to find some corpses.
Perhaps it was looking at the mountains and water caves in the distance on the river, touching the scenery, the expression on the villager's uncle's face was a little downcast, after stamping out the cigarette butt, no matter how much Fangzheng asked, he stopped talking, and the shadow stretched obliquely in the setting sun, Gradually go away until it disappears.
The setting sun slanted.
Under the miserable, blood-colored setting sun, the shadow under the feet of Fangzheng who was standing alone by the river embankment became more and more slanted.
It was getting darker and darker.
call! call! call! The wind by the river is getting stronger.
For a while, apart from the sound of the river wind, there was only the mourning and crying of Guo Chengzhi's relatives on the riverside.
Looking at the river in front of him, and the towering mountains in the distance, Fangzheng frowned and thought.
He was thinking about every word the villager uncle said just now.
Unknowingly, the sky has darkened.
Guo Chengzhi's relatives were still crying in despair by the river embankment, but their voices were much quieter and hoarse, and the others were also persuading them to go back to the village before dark, so as not to catch the cold by the river at night.
But at this moment, suddenly, an exclamation sounded!
"Quick, hurry up and shine the flashlight on the river, Jiang, there seems to be something floating on the river!"
There was a sudden commotion on the embankment.
"That looks like a boat!"
"Could it be that those boys of Guo Chengzhi finally came out safely from the seventy-two ghost gates?"
The commotion on the shore grew louder and louder.
Gradually, under the straight beam of the flashlight, everyone finally saw clearly that the black shadow floating from the river was indeed a boat, and there were faint shadows of a few people standing on the boat.
"It's a boat! It's a boat! That's great, it must be Guo Chengzhi and the others who are back! Hurry up and notify the villagers, they are out safely! They are out safely!"
Immediately, some villagers ran to the village.
"Dacheng is really stupid. He obviously has a mobile phone. It's just a phone call!"
"The man finally came out, and everyone was happy. Maybe Dacheng was a step slower in reacting because of his happiness!"
It was pitch black, everything was blurred, the invisible river surface.
The boat was getting closer.
"Guo Chengzhi, is that you? Guo Chengzhi? If you hear it, please answer us!"
As a result, there was silence on the boat that drifted closer and closer, and no one responded.
what happened? Why no one responded? Just when the villagers on the shore were wondering, under the light of the flashlight, the villagers on the shore finally saw the boat clearly.
As a result, everyone yelled in horror: "Oh my god! It's dead! It's dead!"
Someone even collapsed in fright and let out a hysterical and desperate scream: "Ghost!!!"
On the river, a boat floated with the current, and there were three people standing on the boat, but the upper body of the three people were all gone, as if they were bitten off by something, the upper body, intestines, internal organs, blood Linlin hung on the legs, only The remaining legs below the waist were eaten and stood on the boat.
Such a bloody and terrifying scene scared many people on the shore to death.
Fangzheng, standing on the embankment, naturally saw the scene in front of him clearly.
Just when he was about to take action, suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and looked up in one direction.
I see.
Under the dark night, a large group of people ran quickly.
Among them are villagers.
There is also a group of people in suits, leather shoes, shirts and leather shoes worn by urbanites. These people should be hired by entrepreneurs. These people were all headed by a man in his forties who was obviously different from ordinary people. Fangzheng looked at him for a while and guessed the identity of this person.
It should be the entrepreneur who salvaged his son's body.
At this time, the boat floating along the water had already docked.
The bloody scene stimulated everyone present more clearly.
The villagers living by the river are all honest farmers, and most of them will never see a murder case in their entire life. When they faced this scene, the new villagers were frightened and foolish, forgetting for a moment. reacted.
It was the group of people brought by the entrepreneur who had more experience and courage. After the initial turmoil, they quickly calmed down, and then several people jumped into the water and dragged the boat ashore.
"There's a fourth person on board!"
"It's the boss's son! They found the body of the boss's son! But whose bodies belong to these three people?"
At this time, there were a few mournful cries, and despair tore through the night.
It was the desperate cries from several villagers.
It turned out that the three half-body corpses who found the body of the entrepreneur's son, but were eaten by something and left only half-body bodies, were the three of Guo Chengzhi who had been missing for seven days!
