When I saw the two of them, I was shocked. After waiting for so long on the river beach before, the old two people who hadn't seen falling into the water came back up again. I thought they were ill-advised. But at this moment, Laoguai and Old Bachelor didn't seem to have anything to do, and together they dragged the strange boat towards the little thatched house where I lived.
I can't read it wrong, the two of them walked here. The sleepiness on my body was swept away, and my vision became clear. I saw the strange ship they were dragging still glowing with golden light under the moonlight.
The two men are like trackers pulling a slender by the river, bowing their waists hard, dragging the strange boat forward with a rope. The strange ship should be heavy, rustling on the sandy ground.
At this time, I suddenly lost my idea, and the first thought in my heart was to leave before talking. But on another thought, since Laoguai and the others can find this place from the river beach, even if I leave, most of them still have to follow.
Turning around and running now, it should be too late. The two men dragged the boat very slowly, and they definitely couldn't catch up with me. However, at the same time I was surprised, I also wanted to see what was going on with this strange ship. Once something happens, you can't hide it. Even if you hide it now, you can't hide it from the first day of the first day of the fifteenth year.
Once the idea in my mind was settled, I walked around to the side of the small thatched cottage, showing only a pair of eyes, staring at Laoguai and them intently.
Laoguai and old bachelor mostly didn't see me, they just kept their heads down to tow the boat. They walked slowly, but the distance of five or six feet was still very fast. The two dragged the strange boat to a distance of only ten feet away from the small thatched cottage, loosened the rope on their shoulders, slowly straightened up, without saying a word, turned and walked towards the path.
I was standing next to the thatched cottage, not knowing if I should stop them. This is a weird thing, but if you don't ask Laoguai, you can't figure out what's going on. The surroundings were very quiet. Except for the two people, there were no other figures. I didn't notice the danger for a while, so I put other thoughts behind my head and ran out from the thatched cottage to keep up with the old man.
"Laoguai? Laoguai?"
I yelled in a low voice, but the old crutch and the old bachelor turned a deaf ear, as if they couldn't hear me. When they were close to each other, I could see that the clothes on the two of them were not completely dry, and there was a piece of mud and sand. This situation would tell that the two of them must have come out of the river directly, and they ran to the strange boat. Here comes it.
I speeded up my pace and walked around in front of them, their foreheads and faces were also stuck with a little mud, and my eyes were dumbfounded, staring straight ahead. I raised my hand and shook in front of Laoguai's eyes, but Laoguai still didn't squint. He didn't seem to see me at all. He just kept walking slowly towards the river beach.
At this moment, even if I was stupid, I could see that there must be something wrong with these two people. I didn't dare to follow along, so I could only stop.
The two of them walked straight forward and gradually moved farther away. I watched their backs disappear little by little, and had no choice but to turn around and come back.
The "strange ship" is just outside the small thatched cottage. The ship looks really weird, like a rectangular box and a coffin, except that the ends of the head and tail are slightly upturned to look like a boat.
I can't see what the strange ship is made of. The black hull is inlaid with a fine pattern of gold. These lines are in the moonlight
There was a little golden light under the shining.
There is still mud and sand on the strange ship. I guessed that this strange ship and Laoguai and them should have landed at the same time, and then they were dragged here by Laoguai. After watching it for a while, I tapped the strange boat with a rock lightly, and felt that the hull was very strong and hard.
However, through percussion, I can hear that the hull should be empty. The hull was originally like a box that can hold things, but it fits tightly, and I don't know what's in it for the time being. I wiped off the sediment of the sediment on the top layer, and suddenly, a hollow pattern appeared in front of my eyes.
I want to see through this hollow pattern, what's inside, but the hollow gap is too narrow. After looking in, I light up the oil lamp and hold it above it, but the jumping lamp doesn’t seem to shine through. . After busying for a long time, I still don't know what is weird about this strange ship.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, after dawn, the villagers came in and out, and when they saw this strange ship, they would definitely be puzzled. I didn't want to attract the attention of the villagers. After looking at it for a long time, I had no choice but to pile all the things in the little thatched house in the corner and put away the little bed where I slept.
After making room, I dragged this strange coffin-sized ship towards the house. The strange boat was very sinking, it was towed and pried, and it took a lot of effort to get the strange boat into the house.
The whole small thatched house was occupied at once, and there was no space at all. I closed the door of the house and sat on the ground ridge outside. At this time, the sky was faintly bright, and the villagers in the country got up early. Just after sitting here for a while, someone carried a hoe to work in the field.
What should I do with this strange ship? I thought about it, but couldn't think of a way. I believe that there will be no unprovoked things in this world. Since Laoguai and Bachelor Kuiye sent this strange ship, there must be a reason. The hull of the strange ship is so strong that it can't be opened no matter how to hit it, and I don't know how to deal with it.
Not long after, the villagers came out in twos and threes. When they saw me sitting on the ridge, no one cared. Several people who had a little contact with me even greeted me. I was afraid that they would see the strange boat in the cabin, but the door was so tightly closed that no one noticed it. There was such a large pile of things in the room.
As a result, I was just consumed here, and I couldn't do anything. After a while, a family in the village pulled a pallet out, not knowing whether to build a house or what to do, and just went to the river beach to pull the sand. This family built a hut for me at the time, and it was considered familiar, and they chatted with me a few words when they passed by here.
After sitting for a long time, half of my body was numb. I felt that I couldn’t go on like this. After thinking about it, I plan to stay up until dark. When the night is quiet, I will dig a big hole next to the small thatched house and bury the strange boat in it first. Say it again. If you keep it in the house, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
I was thinking about it. The villager who had gone to pull the sand on the river beach ran back in a hurry. I turned around and the villager yelled at me anxiously, "Brother, don't you have a boat?"
"Yes."
"Go to the river and have a look. There are two people floating in the river bend below, and they can't tell whether they are dead or alive. The depth of the river bend makes us afraid to go down..."
There was a thud in my heart, and suddenly I thought of Laoguai and Lao Bachelor.
Although I haven't seen the two people mentioned by the villagers, I have a strong hunch.
"Brother, go and see, see if the person is still saved..."
I stood up and rushed to the river beach with the other party. It was still early, and the corpse hunters who usually gathered near Xi Temple had not yet arrived. There is a small water bay in the river a little south of Xi Temple. The villagers in Lassa helped me push the boat on the shore into the water. When the boat came to the small water bay, I saw two floating on the water. personal.
I was carefully distinguishing them, wanting to see that the clothes they were wearing were as different as the old bachelor. Both of them floated face down on the water. When I looked up, the ominous premonition in my heart was confirmed. If I read it right, I can tell from the clothes that they are the old crutch and the old bachelor.
"People are not saved." I turned around and said to the villagers sitting on the boat: "It must be dead."
"Oh, pitiful..." The villager sighed and said, "I think so. I have been floating in the water for so long. If I am still alive, I won't be motionless. Brother, let's get the people up there. It’s not that there is a Xi Temple, and it is sent to Xi Temple. If their family can find it here, they can also go to Xi Temple and take the body away."
The villagers in Lhasa are very warm-hearted. I can't refuse to say what they have said. Moreover, I want to see in my heart, at least I have to understand how the two of them died.
I drove the boat and moved closer to the small river bend. The water in this small river bend was almost a piece of stagnant water. Two people were lying on the surface of the water, gently drifting from side to side with the weak current. I took a noose tied to the stick, stretched out an arm of Lao Chuan, and pulled hard, the noose tightened, tied to the arm, Lao Chuan was turned over and floated upside down. On the water.
"No wonder he died in the river, his age is so old." The villager looked at the overturned corpse and said, "How can a person of this age run to the river..."
At this time, my eyes were a little sluggish, and at the same time I felt extremely surprised. When I first saw the corpse in the water, I recognized that the body was wearing the clothes of the old man. It must be the old man. But when I turned it over, I realized that it was not the old man, but a very old man. Son.
The old man has no idea how old he is. The old man is in a mess, his entire face is full of wrinkles, dense wrinkles squeezed in one place, skinny and bony.
I dragged the corpse to the side of the boat. The villagers helped me get the corpse onto the boat. I took off the noose and trapped another corpse. When I dragged it over, he was also a very old man.
If there is only one corpse, I may not think too much, I will only find it very strange. But when the two bodies were being dragged onto the boat, my scalp suddenly went numb.
"Brother, let's go and go ashore." The villager was sitting on the boat, guarding the two skinny corpses, feeling panicked, and urged behind: "Go ashore and send it to Xi Temple, it's nothing to do with us. NS… "
"Yeah." I replied indiscriminately, feeling my scalp tighten again.
I have already seen that the two bodies are indeed the old crutch and the old bachelor, but I can't figure it out even after I break my head. From when they sent the strange boat to when I picked them up, there was no more than three hours before and after. In three hours, how could two people be so old
