Chapter 440: Zombie diving
"Hey, little monkey, go, help me get that corpse back!" Hu Xiaoci commanded in a good manner, as if he had taken this evil water monkey as his pet.
The little thing grinned at Hu Xiaoci, and it didn't look like it would obey her orders. It jumped into the Hanshui River, and disappeared from the bottom of the water as if it were a water reliever.
"Is it reliable?" Chang Xiaoman asked Ma Chengfeng.
"Huh...... You ask me? Come on, Lao Jia, don't be stunned, continue to drive. ”
The electric tugboat continued to slowly sail towards the dark Wushan Canyon, the scene just now was just Hu Xiaoci's naughty, after all, no one really expected a water monkey to understand human speech.
"You believe me, you can, it can help us." Hu Xiaoci kept gesturing, where was there anyone listening to her, sitting in the cabin one by one, looking directly at the mountains on both sides of the river, thinking thoughtfully.
The boat went farther and farther, and the water on both sides of the strait also changed from slow to rapid, and it took half an hour to go forward, and it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, when Jia Laohan suddenly stopped. He ran out with a three-meter-long bamboo pole, he said, this is shallow water, there should be a reef below, you can't just walk casually, you have to test the depth of the water first.
The bamboo pole was first tried on the left side of the hull, and the water depth on the left side exceeded three meters of the bamboo pole, and it was passed. But the water on the right side is less than two meters deep, which is already very dangerous.
"We can't go any further, or we'll run aground soon." As he spoke, Jia Laohan was about to take out the long bamboo pole from under the water, but as soon as he tried his best, the bamboo pole under the water seemed to be pressed by some gravity, and he couldn't lift it for anything.
He was startled and hurriedly called Ma Chengfeng for help.
The two of them and Chang Xiaoman worked together, and then slowly lifted the bamboo pole from under the water, only to see that there seemed to be a black shadow lying on the bamboo pole, that thing was not small, about the same size as a 'Cheng' person, and there seemed to be clothes on the body.
"I'm ...... How can there be a windfall? Ma Chengfeng exclaimed.
Chang Xiaoman shone a flashlight, which frightened her and Xiangyun and almost fell into the water. The face of the dead corpse was rotten and blurred, the body was swollen like a pig, the skin was miserable and white, and the long wet hair covered the face, so he clung to the front of the bamboo pole with his hands and feet and did not let go.
"Oh my god!!" Lao Jia felt that all the qi and blood in his body were going upstream.
To say, people of such an age, why haven't you ever seen it? Isn't it just a dead man? The ownerless corpses that can be fished up in the Hanshui River are quite exquisite, which is a bad omen.
In the past, there were also fishermen in the deep water area, and when they went down to the net, they didn't catch anything, so they caught a dead body. The corpse that was fished up cannot be called a corpse or a dead person. The fishermen believed in the river god, who believed that it was all the river god's will, and in the dark, the river god told them to take the body away.
Generally, as long as the body is caught in the water, the fishing boat can no longer operate, and it quickly turns around and drives back. After returning to the shore, dig a grave 'hole' by the river and bury the body, not only to bury it, but also to set up a monument, the monument is engraved with "the son of the river god" commensurate, every year and festivals have to burn incense, than their own father and mother are filial piety.
This is all exquisite, if you want to say where this exquisiteness comes from, if there is any basis, then no one can say clearly, anyway, it is unlucky not to do this, the rules left by the ancestors.
Regardless of whether this is a coincidence or not, you said that in such a large body of water, you can pick up a corpse by poking such a thin bamboo pole into the water? Is this really a coincidence? Or is it something that the river god is trying to portend?
"Ouch my mother! Bless the river god! Lao Jia knelt on the ground and kept tinkering. I was surprised and delighted when I saw that expression, but I didn't know where the joy came from.
"It's so unlucky, isn't it too evil tonight? How...... Okay, just 'get' a corpse? Ma Chengfeng wanted to throw back the body that jumped up on the bamboo pole, but Jia Laohan didn't agree to anything.
He said that this is all the meaning of the river god, let's put this lord into the earth for peace, it can be regarded as doing good deeds, and the river god will bless us.
The corpse had already been soaked in the river water, and the smell was incomparable, Chang Xiaoman pinched his nose and held a flashlight, and said to Ma Chengfeng: "If you look carefully at his clothes, it shouldn't look like a Han person, and it's not modern." ”
Although the corpse had long since rotted, this kind of decomposition was not the same as decomposition in the ordinary sense. His skin was slightly hydrated and did not 'show' his bones. Ma Chengfeng analyzed that this corpse should not be under the water, but an ancient dried corpse that was soaked in water, and its whole body was swollen. Even Ma Chengfeng has never seen the clothes on his body, and I am afraid that his age is difficult to estimate.
After studying for a long time, they couldn't figure out why, so they temporarily wrapped the foul-smelling corpse in a fishing net and threw it on the deck behind the ship according to Jia Laohan's instructions. But it's estimated that there should be this play, and no one will have to eat until they go back.
"Hey, there's something watching us?" Hu Xiaoci Kaba Kaba whispered with his eyes.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that there was a stone 'hole' on the cliff in the air overhead, and in front of the stone 'hole', there was a black shadow, because it was about 100 meters away from the water, and the light was dim, and everyone couldn't see whether the guy was alive or dead. But one thing is certain, such a high cliff is difficult for even a living person to climb on, and the thing must have come out of a stone 'hole'.
What is the stone 'cave' for? It's a hanging coffin 'hole' and 'hole', isn't it...... Could it be that the dead body in the coffin in the stone 'hole' can't be not?
The black shadow stood motionless in front of the cliff, looking at the water more than a hundred meters below.
"Was he right here just now? Still is...... He crawled out of the coffin himself? Ma Chengfeng asked.
Ma Chengfeng opened his ghost pupils and took a closer look, and saw that the person was dressed in the same way as the dead corpse that had just been fished up from the water, and it should be of the same age. The man was stiff, his skin was shriveled and badly dehydrated, and a chilling 'yin' light oozed from his two deep-seated dark eyes, as if he still had a sense of life.
Rattle...... Quack Quack ...... Suddenly, the bird's nest flew from nowhere, and it chirped fiercely as it flew. With its scream, the corpse actually moved.
It stepped out of its 'legs', stepped on it in mid-air, and fell straight down from the rock 'hole' more than 100 meters away.
