I saw the knife in the hands of the fake master, and couldn't help taking a step back. The fake master didn't even move, and snorted coldly, as if he meant to say that he wanted to kill me and he didn't need a knife at all.
The fake master walked to the horse pulling the cart, and raised his hand with a knife. The knife made a cut in the horse's hind leg, and the blood was flowing. Looking at his actions at the moment, I felt both horrified and awkward. The fake master really can't be treated by ordinary people. Staying with him, except for fear, is afraid.
The fake master raised his other hand. He had a vial in his hand and took the blood ticking from the hind legs of the horse into the bottle.
"Let's go, go to that Hanging Corpse Cliff."
"What are you going to do?"
"Go and show you the scenery."
I don't know what the fake master is going to do. Although I am afraid, I don't think he will kill me. If he wanted to kill me, he would have done it a long time ago, and there is no need to wait until this time.
The fake master stared at me and slowly climbed up the Hanging Corpse Cliff from the shore. Hanging corpse cliffs are generally only on the side of the river, and there is a steep path leading to the top of the cliff. I have also climbed the Hanging Corpse Cliff before. Although the road is steep, it can't hold me back. It's just that I never knew what the fake master was about. The more I climbed, the slower I got. The fake master urged from behind: "Hurry up, don't delay business."
"What business can there be? Isn't this just a Hanging Corpse Cliff?" I wondered, the fake master came to Hanging Corpse Cliff, looking for a corpse
Two people climbed to the top of the cliff and looked down at the cliff. The cliff for hanging corpses is relatively high and the cliff is slightly slanted. The side facing the river went out towards the river, and two or three corpses could be seen vaguely hanging under the cliff. Swaying gently in the river breeze.
This season has not yet reached the flood season, and those fishermen and boaters who eat by the river want to earn some more money before the flood season. Standing on the top of the cliff, boats pass by the river from time to time.
"That's it." The fake master smiled grimly at me when seeing the endless stream of boats on the river, "This place is the most suitable."
"What is the most suitable?"
I just finished a sentence. The fake master suddenly raised his hand and grabbed my arm. His movements were very fast. Although I lifted and lifted, I couldn’t compare to him. As soon as the arm was caught, the fake master gently moved around. , Wrapped my arm to the back, and did not know where to take out a bundle of thin ropes, and directly tied me up.
"What are you going to do!?" My arms couldn't move immediately. The fake master gave me a five-flower tie, and there was no possibility of breaking free by myself.
The fake master ignored me, threw me on the ground, and took a large piece of white cloth from his bag. Dip the horse blood that was just received in the vial, wrote three large characters on the white cloth.
"What do you mean!" I lay on the ground, unable to stand up, but Yu Guang saw my name written by the fake master on the white cloth.
"I want to find Fu Qiandeng, but he still refuses to show up. What can I do? I have to borrow you to use it." The fake master said involuntarily, and wrapped the white cloth with the words on me.
At this time, I realized that the fake master might be eager to find my master, but couldn't find it. When I met me on the riverbank this time, I wanted to use me as a bait to catch the master.
The fake master picked me up and probed the probe from the top of the cliff. Not every cliff near the river can be used as a cliff for hanging corpses. There must be a passage that can pass up and down the front of the cliff, otherwise the corpse cannot be hung in the river. Cliff
Go ahead.
The fake master was strong and courageous. He held me with one hand and grabbed the protruding stone from the edge of the cliff with the other. He slowly climbed down two feet high, then chose a place and slowly took me. Let it go.
"You stop first!" I panicked as I watched myself being put under the cliff little by little. If the rope on my body breaks, I will be tied firmly and fall into the river with only one dead end.
"Don't worry, the rope is very strong. If your master really comes, he will naturally have a way to save you. If he doesn't come, then you... Then you can only starve to death here."
The fake master put me down three feet, and then fixed the other end of the rope to the raised rock on the cliff. My whole person was immediately suspended, and as soon as the river breeze blew, I couldn't help but sway along the wind from side to side.
I was wrapped in such a large piece of white cloth, with the three big bloody characters on it, and the boat passing by the river below, I guess I could see it. The boat owners of these small boats traveled north and south. Seeing me here, they will surely spread the news.
I was anxious and angry. This fake master didn't even have a human touch, and he did nothing to achieve his goal. I have no doubt that if the master does not come, the fake master will hang me here until I starve to death.
I let go of my throat and yelled loudly, but the fake master turned and climbed to the top of the cliff, and he could no longer be seen. He will find a place to hide in case of an ambush. I yelled for a long time, and finally closed my mouth.
My heart is so confused, I can't think of any way to save myself. The fake master had calculated everything and found this place specifically. To be honest, I'm a little scared, I'm still young and don't want to die.
In this way, he was hung on the Hanging Corpse Cliff. From noon until sunset, there were at least twenty or thirty small boats. I have given up my heart, because it is impossible to escape in such a situation anyway. My arms and legs started to numb, and I was so uncomfortable to death.
The fake master is the same as he disappeared. He never showed up, and I don't know where he hid.
After sunset, the setting sun left the last ray of afterglow, and the boats on the river disappeared. Those fishermen and boaters just wanted to support their families, but they did not work hard, and they refused to go down the river at night. On the empty river surface, the water was rolling, I closed my eyes and couldn't fall asleep, I had to bite the bullet and survive.
The night is getting deeper, and this month, the breeze on the river is almost non-stop all night. I was so sleepy, there was always a whirring wind in my ears, which disturbed me.
"You come out!" I really felt that I couldn't stand it anymore, and raised my head again and yelled loudly. But this time it was the same as last time, no matter how I shouted, the fake master did not show up.
In the middle of the night, my head became more and more drowsy, and my body collapsed. I felt completely numb and didn't have any strength. At this time, the river breeze was much smaller, and I suddenly smelled a very strange smell.
The smell of Hanging Corpse Cliff is unpleasant. I know that no matter whether there is a corpse hanging or not, there will be a smell of corpse. But at this moment, this odor from the wind is a bit like a corpse odor, but it doesn't look like it. My head is dizzy, and when my nose smells this odor, I can't help but feel like vomiting.
The smell was getting stronger and stronger. I looked down. About two or three feet below my feet, there were two corpses that were sent here. The only ones that were rotten were hair and clothes.
Wind for a while
When I was young, the smell floated to and fro. There was a tumbling in my stomach, and my throat couldn't help but itching, and I managed to resist it until I didn't vomit it out.
The moonlight was shining down, and when I lowered my head again, I suddenly saw the corpse below which had been hanging for an unknown period of time and moved violently. I can see clearly that the corpse was definitely not blown by the wind.
As a result, I felt a little flustered. I was not afraid of the corpse, but at this moment, my whole body was tied up. No matter what happened, I didn't even have a chance to deal with it.
The corpse below moved back and forth a few times, and the feeling was very strange, as if there was something on the corpse, trembling non-stop. When I helped people carry corpses up and down the Hanging Corpse Cliff, I had never encountered such a thing.
After looking at the hanging corpse under my feet, it seemed to be motionless again. I wondered if I was dazzled just now. Although the corpse did not move, my heart was not at ease.
At this moment, I suddenly saw that there seemed to be a dark shadow in the place close to the stone wall below, slowly climbing upwards. My attention has always been on the hanging corpse, and I didn't pay attention to the stone wall at all. When I saw it now, the dark shadow had climbed two feet away from here.
I read it right this time. There must be a dark shadow. Although it is crawling slowly, I can still see it. My heart was not at ease, when I saw this black shadow crawling, my heart jumped into my throat.
What it is
The dark shadow climbed up one foot higher, just so high, and the moonlight happened to spill over. In an instant, this group of dark shadows was fully revealed in front of the eyes under the reflection of the moonlight.
I can't read it wrong, it was a fish, a fish grown by one person, but with two hands and two legs, it slowly climbed the rock wall and climbed upwards little by little.
My head immediately grew bigger, and my ears seemed to be humming.
I once again wondered if I was a broom star, because I felt from beginning to end that the things that appeared in front of me were made up by people on the river beach, and it was absolutely impossible to exist.
In the past, I heard from the old boatmen and the corpse scavengers that there is a kind of fish in the river. There are very few fish. Because the head is very hard and very big, it is called the iron head fish. The iron head fish grows in the river. It is similar to the catfish. It can eat any mess. As long as there is a little water, the iron head fish can survive.
Some iron-headed fish can grow very large, and some iron-headed fish are too big and will be contaminated with a little evil spirit. According to legend, iron head fish like carrion. Sometimes, if some iron head fish eat a whole floating corpse, they will slowly grow hands and feet.
The iron head fish that gave birth to hands and feet in this way can be in the water or go ashore. It can even climb up from the side facing the water and drink the corpse water that flows down after the decayed corpse. The iron head fish drinking corpse water is very smelly, the smell is like corpse odor, but not exactly like corpse odor.
My scalp was numb, and I watched the iron head fish clinging to the rock climbing upwards. Obviously, this ironhead fish had spotted me a long time ago. Those gray eyes, without any light, stared at me motionlessly.
