Looking at the corpse just picked up, I immediately became alert. It is estimated that I was chased and entangled by Pi Jiahua's people over and over again before, leaving me at a loss for everything. As long as things are abnormal, I will naturally be vigilant.
The old couple in the village said very well that their youngest son didn't fight with people and fell into the water, but after falling into the water, he drifted with the flow, and finally drifted to this gentle river bend, but there was a fatal wound on his chest.
I tried hard to recall, recalling whether there was anything wrong with the old couple. The old couple have always lived in the village, and they have been rooted here since they were young, so they can't fault it.
For a while, I didn't know what to do. I wondered why I was so unlucky, and it was so easy to stop for a while, but strange things came to my door for no reason.
The body was found, and it was salvaged. I thought about it, I can't throw him into the river again. Now I really can't tell if there is anything unusual about the old couple.
What was shaking in my mind was the sadness of the old couple when they asked me to look for my son's body. Both of them were crying and miserable. I always feel that their bitterness is by no means a disguise. After hesitating for a moment, I drove the boat to the West Bank and carried the body down.
I did not return to the small village immediately. I planned to wait until the night was a little bit longer and send the corpse to the village, and then leave immediately, not to meet the old couple or charge them money.
While waiting on the river beach, I couldn’t help but smile. It took so much effort and so much time to find the corpse, but it was no good. I always do business at a loss. I guess I’ll be hungry in a while. Belly up.
After waiting for about half an hour, I saw that the sky was almost over, and I got up to make it easier, and then quietly sent the corpse away. However, when I turned around and just took a step, I felt that something was wrong again, and couldn't help but look back.
This look shocked me. I saw the corpse lying on the riverbank, like a bug, slowly curling into a ball.
But in a blink of an eye, I calmed my fear. The corpse scavengers on the river beach have been dealing with corpses all their lives. The master said that most of the people who died in the river were ordinary people who fell into the water, and they couldn't make any waves. There are only a handful of corpses that will change. If you encounter one, you can only say that you are out of luck.
I calmed down, stood still for a while, observing the corpse, and took a rope in my hand. The authentic corpse scavengers have the means to deal with corpse transformation.
The corpse slowly curled up, and finally curled up into a ball, not moving for the time being. I do not
I have found out the truth, but still stand still, looking for opportunities.
There was a stalemate for a while, and I was about to walk forward tentatively. The curled up body suddenly stiffened and raised an arm.
As the corpse’s arm was raised, I saw his hand, which seemed to pinch a round bamboo tube. Before I had any extra reaction, the bamboo tube suddenly started to smoke, and followed closely, Yuantong A dazzling fire burst out loudly.
This group of flames resembled the fireworks set off in the homes of the people during the holidays, suddenly lifted into the sky, and suddenly jumped to a very high place. The flame exploded in the air, turning into a star-like light spot.
Thousands of light spots slowly dissipated, faintly, as if writing a huge word in the dark night sky. But I don't know what the word is.
How is this going
After the fireworks in mid-air completely dissipated, I subconsciously looked at the corpse. The corpse's raised hands were already hanging down, lying flat on the ground, motionless.
I fought a cold war, and it was only at this moment that I suddenly realized that this corpse has not died. From the time I fished him up to just now, he kept a breath.
My scalp started to numb and I felt like I was in a trap. I raised my head and looked at the night sky with fireworks just now, and suddenly remembered some rumors I had heard before.
There were a lot of people who walked the rivers and lakes in the big river beach, and the message transmission was extremely slow at that year, and it all depended on people running errands to lead the conversation. I don't know when it started, people who walked the rivers and lakes began to use fireworks to convey messages. As small as a person, as large as a family clan, they basically have their own unique fireworks.
These fireworks are specially made. When the fireworks are lifted into the sky, they usually have patterns or writings, especially at night, when the message fireworks are set off, and people from far away can see them.
In other words, the corpse pretending to be dead set off a message pyrotechnics, which is equivalent to telling the distant comrades that he is here.
I fainted and rushed to the other side desperately. But when I got there, I realized that this time, this person was completely dead, no heartbeat, no pulse.
He did his last bit of effort, just to find opportunities to report to his companions. I don't know who this person is or what his identity is, but now there is no way out. I can no longer care about sending him back to the village, turning my head and leaving.
This is a trap, it must be a trap.
I hurriedly walked to the riverside, trying to push the boat into the water, but after another thought, I felt wrong. The boat trip at night is too eye-catching, and the empty river is just my boat, which is easy to be noticed. It's better to take the land route more safely, and there are more places to hide.
I ruthlessly left the boat, turned and walked towards the west of the river beach. As I walked, I wondered.
but,
After thinking for a while, I thought again, if this is a trap, is it a coincidence? If the old couple really has a problem, and want to deal with me, or catch me, is it not good to do it directly? Have to tell a lie to guide me to find the corpse, and then bring the corpse back so that the corpse can send the message
This doesn't make sense anyway. If the person who sets the trap really arranges like this, then he is either a god of an unknown prophet, or a fool with his head covered by the door.
But now I can't take care of it anymore, no matter what the identity of the corpse is, no matter who he brings in, in short, I can't be caught by them. The more I thought about it, the cooler my heart became, and I couldn't help speeding up my pace, rushing out for several miles in one breath.
There is a big ditch in front of the river, which was a long time ago. After it dries up, it becomes a deep ditch. There are vegetation everywhere, the terrain is complicated, and it is also conducive to hiding. I guess that after the companion of the corpse receives the message of the fireworks, it will not take too long to rush to the neighborhood. It would be unwise for me to run around at this time, so I would hide in this deep ditch and act by chance.
The summer night is silent, and there are insects everywhere. I can stay here for more than an hour, and I dare not keep guarding a place forever. I will move quietly after a while.
After hiding for so long, I didn't know what was going on on the other side of the river beach. I couldn't bear it anymore. I climbed up from the ditch and wanted to take a look. But as soon as I showed my head, I saw seven or eight people rushing towards this side from the direction of the river beach. My heart was immediately tensed, and I quickly retracted and found a place to hide.
The seven or eight people had strong feet and came very fast. Soon after I hid them, the other party had reached the edge of the deep ditch.
"Our people are guarding the river. I think that person will definitely not walk by the waterway." A man with a beard, like the leader of the seven or eight people, stood on the edge of the deep ditch and glanced down. , Said: "The river beach is full of flat land, no one can hide, only this old way, everyone carefully search."
Everyone responded and came to the bottom of the ditch from above. I was about five or six feet away from them. After the other party came down, my heart almost hung in my throat, and I couldn't help but shrink back quietly.
These few people are obviously not a mob, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. Half of them are waiting strictly in order to deal with unexpected accidents, while the remaining half are searching closely, looking forward almost inch by inch.
I'm very nervous, and you can see from the group of people that this matter is definitely not small, otherwise it won't be so detailed.
I was secretly looking forward to them, hoping that they would quickly find them from here, and when they passed, I would immediately find a chance to slip away.
However, this thought in my heart had just finished turning, and I suddenly discovered that the few people who were looking for them, along with the rest of their accomplices, all stopped and looked at me together.
