What happened that night, no one knows.
The hillside where the dilapidated wooden house is located is surrounded by a steep cliff. Below the cliff is the frozen Yellow River. Only the gentle slope near the wood transportation place has a trail leading up.
The leader took all the insiders and kept guard on the trail a few miles away. First, he was afraid that someone would go up again. Second, he was afraid that another life would be lost. Third, he placed his hope on Gou Sheng'er. If he failed, the consequences of this matter
Adding these three reasons together, even if it was an icy snowy night, and even standing here I could still feel the ultimate terror, the leader still insisted on staying with his people.
Time is so sad, but time never stops. The leader himself didn’t know how many steps he had taken here and how many cigarettes he had smoked, until he reached out and "touched" the cigarette box again. When it was already empty, Only then did I realize that the fish belly has turned white in the east. Mornings in winter always come much later. Such a hint of white means that the time is at least close to 7 o'clock.
Hasn't Gou Sheng'er come down yet? I licked my dry lips with my hand, thinking in my mind, should I go up and take a look? But he really didn't have that kind of courage, and no one around him had that kind of courage.
As the sky gets brighter and brighter, the leader himself can't make up his mind.
At this time, Mr. Liu stood up and said to the leader with determination: "How about I go up and take a look?"
The top leader looked at Mr. Liu with some emotion, but neither agreed nor refused. He was really afraid of another life. With the weird appearance of the corpse, how could he get through it if there were too many? [
Just when the leader was hesitating, a worker shouted in surprise: "Look, there's a dog left over there."
The leader and Mr. Liu looked up and saw that the leftover dog had not come down, right
At this morning, it was clearing after the snow, and the sky was completely bright. Mr. Liu would never forget the look of Gou Sheng'er when he was going down the mountain. He walked down the mountain steadily step by step with his hands behind his back. , there is snow on the ground, and behind him is the clear sunshine. He is very calm, but there is an indescribable sadness on his face, a master of vicissitudes of life!
This is what Liu Erye thinks in his heart, that kind of indifference, that kind of compassionate expression, what is that if he is not an expert
From that moment on, the idea that Gou Sheng'er was an expert had been fixed in Mr. Liu's mind.
What happened later became simpler. According to Gou Sheng'er's instructions, the dilapidated wooden house was also burned together. He said that the body was in the wooden house!
Before, they didn't dare to burn the corpse casually, fearing that if the corpse was burned, the ghost of the grievances would still be around. But now that Gou Sheng'er said it was solved, everyone was eager to burn the body. After all, if the sky fell, there would be an expert to hold Gou Sheng'er up, and he would be that expert. .
Except for the few people who were first discovered and Wei Dahan who died tragically, no one has seen or seen the body again, but everyone, including Mr. Liu, is convinced that the body was burned because after that night, this incident It really calmed down completely, and there was no more movement.
Due to various considerations, Gou Sheng'er was sent to work at the Timber Transportation Department by the leader. At first Gou Sheng'er was not too willing, but later for some reason, he was willing. He just had a strange request, that is, he He said that he had never worked before, but now that he was working, it was a new life like a new life, so he even changed his name.
So the leader personally changed Gou Sheng'er's name to Lin Jianguo, and then there was no longer a fugitive Gou Sheng'er in this town, only Lin Jianguo, a worker at the timber transportation office.

"Is everything you said true?" The old woman's face turned pale after listening to the whole story, but she was still not sure about the authenticity of the story.
"Is it possible that I will make up a lie to scare you?" After telling the whole story, Mr. Liu felt a lot more relaxed. His tone was very calm. Even the people closest to him would believe such an unbelievable thing. It is also a very difficult thing.
"You mean there was a ghost that came to our house? Standing in front of our Kang?" As the old woman spoke, she couldn't help but get a little closer to Mr. Liu. She was really scared just thinking about it.
Mr. Liu patted the old woman's back comfortingly and said, "Isn't everything over now? Don't be afraid. I just want to say that there are many things in this world that we ordinary people cannot figure out. Yes, it’s not easy to meet an expert, even if it’s not to curry favor with others, I can’t help but get close to him. If he is willing to take care of everything after his death, he will suffer less and have more mental power to take care of him. .Look at you, do you still dare to talk "randomly" now?"[
When the old woman heard this, she remembered what she had said and couldn't help but slap her mouth and said, "Look at my mouth, the master won't care about me, right?"
"I am a master, why would I care about you, a mother-in-law who has never seen the world? Don't worry, but don't do it easily in the future."
"Oh, definitely not! It seems that this timber transportation office is indeed not a good place. Our son is not allowed to go there! Also, you have to make a good friend of Jianguo, or else ask him to come to our house for dinner tomorrow? I Make him meat noodles?"
"Stop worrying so blindly"
While Mr. Liu was talking to his mother-in-law, the night outside was getting darker. Outside the courtyard, the only voices of two people could be heard chattering. There was no longer excitement and quarrels. On the contrary, it became warm and peaceful. The brief turmoil in Mr. Liu's family completely subsided after a certain buried secret was revealed.
In the dilapidated shack on the edge of the town, Lin Jianguo had finished another large bowl of noodles, washed the pots and bowls, cleaned up the house, and sat in front of his broken table in a daze.
The oil lamp was beating, and with the moonlight shining in from the gap, no one knew what he was thinking. Looking at his somewhat hollow eyes, one would think that he was simply in a daze.
After sitting like this for ten minutes, Lin Jianguo suddenly sighed, then took out the cigarette case from his jacket, rolled a cigarette for himself, and held it in his mouth.
When the smoke was exhaled, he seemed to be chanting a certain name, but the voice was so soft that it seemed as if he wasn't chanting anything at all, it was just an illusion.
"After smoking, let's go to sleep." Lin Jianguo suddenly said to himself, and had already started to make the bed. After living alone for a long time, he became accustomed to talking to himself.
"There is no need to burn the kang this season. I can still live in it. This shack is not bad. There is such a good kang tomorrow in it." Lin Jianguo continued to talk to himself. Of course, he didn't know that there was some urgency in the town at this moment. There were footsteps, and the one running at the front was the somewhat fat second-in-command.
The second-in-command looked a little panicked at the moment, and his face was covered with steaming sweat. Being so sweaty in the late autumn weather could only show how fast he was running.
They did not find Lin Jianguo directly because Lin Jianguo was not easy to get close to. Only Mr. Liu had the best relationship with him in the whole town, and Mr. Liu was also an insider back then.
The knocking sound of "bang bang bang" echoed in the yard of Mr. Liu's house. He had just finished chatting with the old woman and was about to go to bed. He was very confused. It was already late at night. Who came to him so late? The voice sounds very urgent!
Thinking like this, Mr. Liu opened the door and saw the panicked face of the second in command.
"Second Master Liu, we picked up another corpse." That's what the second-in-command said, and Master Liu's heart began to sink suddenly.
But he could still maintain his composure, coughed, and welcomed the second-in-command and a few others into the room. He said, "Come in and talk."
"If you don't go into the room, let's talk here." The second-in-command looked very anxious. Behind him were several senior officials of the timber transportation department. They were barely insiders back then, but the second-in-command was still quite wary. He didn't say anything loudly, but lay next to Mr. Liu's ear and began to whisper.
Mr. Liu's face became more and more serious. In fact, ever since Lin Jianguo came to work at the Timber Distribution Department, it was amazing that the Timber Distribution Department rarely picked up floating corpses. In the more than two years since Lin Jianguo came to work, a total of I only met three ordinary corpses.
Ever since the second-in-command came here specially and talked about fishing out the body, Mr. Liu knew that it was not simple and he was not here to do something for him.
He originally had such hope, so he reluctantly calmed down and let the second-in-command enter the room to speak. But don’t you think things can go as planned
This time, another strange corpse floated over. Like the female corpse last time, it came holding a thick piece of wood, but this time it was a male corpse!
