Chapter 50: Xu Ronghua's Story (Headless Corpse)
Seeing that the life of the third child of the Xi family was hanging by a thread, I gritted my teeth and didn't care what was grabbing my feet, but just struggled to pull the corpse rope on my back, trying to pull him over. In his current condition, if he was hit head-on by a catfish again, half of his life would be gone.
Who knew that I had just started to pull the rope, and suddenly, the catfish's open mouth suddenly stretched out a flocculent object like a water weed, which actually wrapped the head of the third child of the Xi family.
How do fish grow aquatic plants in their mouths? Moreover, the 'aquatic weed' still seems to be alive, and as soon as it comes out, it entangles the third child of the Xi family!
My eyes widened in horror, and when I looked closely, I felt like my heart was about to pop out of my throat.
What the hell is a water weed, it's just a bunch of human hair!
I was so frightened that I couldn't care about the third child of the Xi family anymore, I just wanted to get rid of the shackles on my feet as soon as possible. A little later, my breath ran out, and I didn't even have the ability to swim up.
But just as I was about to turn around and deal with it, all of a sudden, the big fish sprang forward as if frightened.
I felt a tightness on my waist and I immediately realized what I was about to face. But at this time, it is too late to untie the rope.
Although the catfish is not bigger than a person, under the water, I am afraid that the strength of three or four adult men is greater than the sum of the three, and it jumped forward, not only the third child of the Xi family was pushed out, but I was also dragged upward.
The catfish seemed to be crazy, and took me and the third child of the Xi family to jump forward desperately. But the hand that grabbed my ankle still didn't let go.
In a hurry, I turned my head, narrowed my eyes, and after just one look, my soul almost frightened.
What caught me was like a person.
This person should have been buried at the bottom of the river by the mud before, and Leng Buding was pulled out, and the mud scattered everywhere, stirring up chaos behind him.
As the catfish swam, it soon revealed its original form. It was a person, but it was only a hollow, and there was no head on the shoulder at all.
What caught me was a headless corpse!
As my breath ran out, my physical crisis overshadowed my fear, and I tried to kick my grip away with my other foot while trying to untie the rope around my waist.
But of course, that hand seemed to grow on me, and the rope was too tight to be untied.
I finally couldn't hold on, my chest loosened, and the fishy river water suddenly poured into my mouth and nose.
Finished......
Despair came over and I gave up the struggle completely.
In this case, I have no power to return to heaven, and all that awaits me is death. Knowing this, I promised the old man to take over the post station of Narausch for the time being.
Even if I had kept an eye out and brought back that damn broken book and read it a few more times, I wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
What makes me most unwilling is that when I die, I die, what about Yaru?
Once swore that she would love her for the rest of her life, but in the end, I was buried at the bottom of the river, and she couldn't return to her place because of the missing soul, and she would be a fool for the rest of her life?
Just when I was in pain from despair, in a trance, I seemed to see a dark red flash in front of my eyes, as if someone had swam past me.
I tried my best to keep my eyes open and see clearly, but my body's capacity had reached its limit, and when it was dark, I didn't know anything.
"Hanako! Hanako! Wake up, wake up! ”
I don't know how long later, I heard a familiar call in my ears, and I slowly opened my eyes, and a face that was not very old, but full of ravines, came into view.
"Uncle......" I shouted to my father-in-law with difficulty.
"Oh my God......" Seeing me wake up, my father-in-law clutched his chest and sat on the ground.
I wished that everything had been a nightmare, but the constant flashes of electricity around me and the dampness on my body made me quickly realize that I was still by the river and that everything that happened was real.
"How's Aru?" I asked, struggling to sit up.
My father-in-law wrinkled his eyebrows and shook his head at me slightly, my heart tightened, but I heard my father-in-law say: "That gentleman went to see Yaru, and he said that Yaru is fine." ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
I couldn't help coughing, and complained in my heart, old man, you made your words clear.
I didn't die in the river, but I was scared to death by you.
"Oh, my son...... What can I do about this? A wail came.
Turning his face, not far away, Lao Xi was sitting on the ground crying and grabbing the ground.
He cried heartbreakingly, and the old people in the village and the villagers who had the courage to come to see the excitement were all around me and my father-in-law.
This is not because the people in the village have any thoughts of 'tending to the flame', nor is it because they are jealous and hateful when they distinguish right from wrong.
Everyone is here, but there is a chilling sense of mystery about the situation on the other side.
There were two people lying horizontally in front of Lao Xi, and a rare big catfish.
I recalled my experience at the bottom of the river, and with the help of my father-in-law, I staggered to my feet and walked over.
In front of Lao Xi was a man who was embarrassed, and the clothes were the third child of the Xi family who went into the water with me.
The reason why he was identified from his clothes was because half of his face looked like he had been bitten by something, and although the bones had not yet been revealed, the flesh and blood were blurry, and the blood was flowing all over his face, and he couldn't see the original appearance at all.
My first reaction was to touch my waist, the corpse rope was no longer there, and there was no rope sleeve in the neck of the third child of the Xi family.
"Hoo ......"
I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the third child of the Xi family was miserable, he was obviously not dead when he saw that his chest was still undulating.
Now that the corpse rope is not at the scene, I can more or less get rid of some involvement.
The villagers didn't dare to lean over, in addition to the appearance of the third child of the Xi family was a little terrifying, and more importantly, next to the third child of the Xi family, there was also a female corpse.
The woman's body was pale and showed no signs of soaking, and at first glance it looked as if she had just died. What is frightening is that there is no head on the shoulders of the female corpse!
Seeing the white dress that had begun to fall apart on the female corpse, I had mixed feelings for a while.
This white floral skirt is exactly the same as the female ghost during the day, and this dead body is probably the working girl.
But what about her head? Why doesn't she have a head?
"Get the out of here!" A not high-pitched but cold voice came, followed closely, and saw Chen Jinsheng striding in front of him.
"How's Aru?" I hurriedly asked.
Chen Jinsheng shook his head with a pout, "She's okay for the time being." ”
"For the time being?"
I was stunned, and then I saw that Chen Jinsheng, like me, was also wet all over his body.
Chen Jinsheng was about to say something, but was stopped by Lao Xi's crying.
He was not a good temper in the first place, his brows tightened, and he turned his head and yelled at the old man: "It's good if people don't die, why are you crying?" ”
Lao Xi was probably stimulated by his son's tragic situation, and when he heard the words, he jumped up and rushed over to this side.
Chen Jinsheng stared at him, and when he came to him, he waved his hand violently and slapped him on the spot, "Don't play tricks on me, I want to know why your son is like this, open the belly of the fish and take a look!" ”
