I think what the old woman said is very pathetic.
"Take it." The old woman forced Da Yang into my hand and said: "There is one more thing, I want to ask you to help."
"Madam, you said." I grabbed the ocean in my hand and hurriedly replied: "What's the matter?"
"When I am getting older, the corpse taken from the cliff must not be able to carry it on my back. I will transport it to the river bank over there for me. When the boat arrives at my house, the corpse will be transported away."
"Okay." I agreed without hesitation, it was nothing more than a little more effort.
At the foot of the Hanging Corpse Cliff, there is a path leading to the top of the cliff. I have to follow the path to the top of the cliff first, and then hang a rope from the top of the cliff to remove the corpse hanging on the side of the river. You don't need any craftsmanship to do this job, just be bolder and more careful.
I climbed to the top of the cliff, and then slowly began to remove the corpse hanging from the cliff. Of the four corpses on the cliff wall, one had been hung for at least a year, leaving only mutilated bones, and the rest were rotten. We do corpse hunting, there is a secret potion to resist the smell of the corpse. I blocked my nose and mouth with a cloth soaked in the potion, and took the corpse out after a lot of effort on my nose.
After the corpse was taken down, I followed the old woman's instructions and transported them all to the river bank about one mile to the north. The water flow on this river bank was slow and the boats could easily dock.
I just finished transporting the body, and a small boat came from upstream. The boat followed the current, coming very fast, and it was in front of you in a blink of an eye.
When the boat arrived, I was a little surprised, because the ship was in charge of a middle-aged woman who was about forty years old. Few women hold boats on the river beach, after all, they are not as strong as men.
"Auntie, is this the boat?"
"Yes, this is the ship. Transport the capital of the corpse to the ship. If you transport it, it will be your business."
I agreed. When the boat drew ashore, when the corpse was about to be transported, the middle-aged woman in charge of the boat picked up the boat and blocked me, and said to the old woman, “I don’t have much time today, so don’t take it away. Just do things here."
"It's up to you." The old woman said, standing beside the corpse in Tantou, "Just do it."
When I heard their conversation, I felt something was wrong. The old woman said that she was going to bury the body, but now she said she would do things on the spot. I have suffered a lot before, and when I noticed something was wrong, I immediately gave birth to a retreat.
The middle-aged woman got off the boat and walked to the shore in shallow water, looking at the corpses on the ground. Taking advantage of the time the two of them were talking, I secretly stepped back step by step.
"Young man, let's go." The old woman said to me with a side face: "There is nothing to do with you here."
"Ok, I
I wished to leave early, but I was afraid that if I ran away, it would arouse the other's vigilance and suspicion. Therefore, I still took my steps unhurriedly and walked towards the Hanging Corpse Cliff.
"This time, it's still the same?"
"Yes, ask, ask clearly." The old woman said: "Be sure to ask clearly, have they ever seen that surname pay."
I haven't gone far yet, every word of the old woman's words fell into my ears. When she mentioned the surname paid, my heart squeaked.
However, I changed my mind to think that my master is not the only person in this world who has the surname.
"These corpses have been released for too long, and it may not be possible to ask about the whereabouts of Fu Qiandeng." The middle-aged woman in charge of the ship said: "Do your best, and you should not have too much hope."
I was still comforting myself. In this world, there is more than one master who pays the surname, but after the middle-aged woman said what he said, I was stunned. There are many people with the surname, but how many people can be called Fu Qiandeng
I couldn't help but slowed down again and looked back. Although the old woman didn't have much expression, I suddenly felt that it should not be a good thing for her to ask about the whereabouts of my master.
In my mind, the master is a kind and honest person, who doesn't like to talk much, and never causes trouble. But only after I left my hometown, I slowly learned something about the master from others.
Perhaps, only I know that there are two "Fu Qiandeng" that are almost the same. Outsiders don't know it, and they must be unclear.
I wondered what the fake master was doing outside, but in the end it was all detained on my master.
The old woman and the middle-aged woman probably didn’t take me very seriously, thinking that I was just an ordinary person who worked hard and ate on the river beach. They kept talking, and my pace was getting slower and slower. They wanted to listen as hard as they could. Say something.
"I don't have much hope, but as long as I ask, there is still hope. It's better than doing nothing." The old woman said: "I don't want anything, I just want to avenge my son. "
"Fu Qiandeng is not easy to deal with." The middle-aged woman took a long and narrow wooden box and said: "When I was in the Su family, I heard of Fu Qiandeng's name. According to the legend, how many people wanted the idea of a jade furnace, but who got it in the end?"
By this time, it was completely certain that what they said about Fu Qiandeng must be my master. At the same time, I can also hear that most of the middle-aged women come from Su's family, and they also know how to inquire about corpses.
Sure enough, the middle-aged woman took three incense sticks from the wooden box, lit them and inserted them in the sand in front of a corpse's head. This method is exactly the same as Su’s yin po, it's all by
I've been talking about burning incense.
I walked very slowly, but I kept walking like this and gradually walked away. I couldn't see their actions and couldn't hear their voices. I was very unwilling to think about it, I immediately speeded up my pace, walked to the shallow water ahead, swam back quietly along the shallow river.
I floated on the water on my back, showing only one face, listening to their conversation with all my strength.
The middle-aged woman had spoken to the two corpses, probably without asking anything, and then began to play with the third corpse. I still remember that corpse. It may have been more than ten days after it was dead. The internal organs have begun to rot, and the belly swelled up and it was inaudible.
The middle-aged woman burned incense as usual, and then muttered words that no one understood. Just like that, she babbled and asked for a while, her eyes suddenly opened, and she said to the old woman: "This person has seen Fu Qiandeng!"
"when!?"
"This man belongs to Tsing Yi Tower. It was more than ten days ago that Fu Qiandeng killed him in the Wulong Temple upstream." The middle-aged woman probably asked a lot of questions, and then said: "This Tsing Yi Tower man I went to a mass grave in the north with my two companions to find the corpses of pure yin with eight characters. I wanted to collect bone frost. I was busy for almost a month, but only got a little bit. Finally, when I was resting in the Wulong Temple, I followed the payment. Qiandeng hit, and the two were directly killed by Fu Qiandeng at the Wulong Temple. This one desperately fled to the bank of the river and still couldn't escape."
"More than ten days ago, where did Fu Qiandeng go now, isn't anyone unclear about it?"
"Old sister, this is the way it was originally." The middle-aged woman sighed and said: "I wanted to persuade you, but you didn't listen. We always look for the corpse along the river beach and want to ask about the whereabouts of Fu Qiandeng. The corpse is dead and can’t be walked on the Hanging Corpse Cliff, but Fu Qiandeng is alive, so he just left. Old sister, I really can’t ask why.”
"I don't care." The old woman is so stubborn, she gritted her teeth and said: "I want to avenge my son. Everywhere in the world, I have to find Fu Qiandeng!"
I was hiding in the water not far away, not daring to make a sound. After hearing what they said, I was even more sure that the murderer Fu Qiandeng was a fake master, and my real master would never be so abused. Kill the innocent.
The Tsing Yi Tower mentioned by the middle-aged woman is a big faction south of the river beach. Jianghu entertainers, fortune tellers, jugglers, and opera actors, many of them are from Tsing Yi Tower. If you just talk about the number of people, then Tsing Yi Tower is the biggest force in the river beach.
"Fu Qiandeng killed the people in Tsing Yi Tower to grab Bone Shuang. He must use Bone Shuang in a hurry." The old woman squinted her eyes and said, "Bone Shuang is so hard to find. He was near Wulong Temple more than ten days ago. Maybe it's here now."
