Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 46 Tongtong wakes up
The third uncle was dressed very sloppily, a Chinese tunic suit that had been patched and wrinkled, and a pair of army green trousers tied around his body with a rope as a waistband. The zipper was broken, revealing blue underpants.His eyes were blind, and the corners of his eyes were covered with yellow-green gum. His two big black nostrils had long nose hairs sticking out of them with snot.

When the village chief saw the sloppy third uncle coming, he hurried over to help him, and the onlookers also stepped out of the way. Everyone here knew that the third uncle was a person with special abilities.

The three people salvaged from the river also came ashore, all shivering from the cold. The man who was crying just now came to the third uncle and said something to him. Ye Feiji told me that the man hoped that the third uncle would definitely help Find his mother and daughter, live and die.

oh!It turned out that this man who was less than 30 years old was so sad. It turned out that the person who jumped into the river was his mother and his young daughter. How could he not be heartbroken when he encountered such a thing?

The third uncle comforted him, and then let someone help him to the water's edge, squatted down, took some water and sprinkled it over his head vigorously, and then washed his hands with the river water.After washing his hands, he washed his face. After washing his face, he took out a small yellow flag from his body and waved it in front of his face. He shouted something in his mouth. Singing was not like singing and cursing, and even Ye Feiji couldn't hear it. .

This river flows outside a village. The width of the river is about 100 to [-] meters, and the water depth is only two or three meters.It stands to reason that people who have lived by the river for generations are very familiar with the situation of this river. Besides, their water quality is very good, and there is no summer flood and rainy season, so the slow flow of the river is almost invisible. What I can't figure out is how Can't find the body?

The third uncle yelled for a while, and began to shout the names of the two people who fell into the water. Ye Feiji told me that the granddaughter was named Wu Mengkong, and the grandma was named Zhou Cuihua.

Although there were many people watching from the shore, none of them dared to speak loudly, only a few women were talking quietly.After a while, seeing the third uncle shaking his head non-stop, the village chief and the young man hurried to him and asked.The third uncle said something to them, and then they shook their heads and sighed in pain and helplessness. Maybe even the third uncle couldn't find the body.

I asked Ye Feiji to take care of Xiao Jianqi, and I ran to a ditch to call Tongtong, hoping that she would wake up suddenly to help, but there was no response after calling for a long time.

At this time, three people ran back from the direction outside the village, and the leader was a young woman who was only 27 or [-] years old.The young woman came running with disheveled hair, crying and shouting. She was probably the mother of the drowned child Wu Mengkong, followed by two people, probably to inform her about the accident at home.The young woman rushed to the river and sat on the ground crying very sadly. She called Xiao Mengkong's name, and it turned out that she was really the mother of the child Wu Mengkong who fell into the water.

The young woman stood up after crying for a while, and she seemed to be about to jump into the river, but was caught by the two people behind her in time, and then the young woman passed out.

Poor parents all over the world!His daughter was actually brought into the river by his grandmother, the biggest tragedy in the world is nothing more than this!The older old women in the crowd couldn't help shedding tears when they saw this scene. Ye Feiji and I also watched with moist eye sockets and sighed repeatedly.

The village head and the young man ran over to pick up the young woman who had fainted from crying, and walked up to my Jialing 50 motorcycle parked by the side of the road and asked loudly. Ye Feiji told me that they were asking who this car belonged to. Borrow it and use it.I hurriedly asked Ye Feiji to say that I can borrow it if there is no problem, and then the village chief asked two young men to ride on my car, and carried the fainted woman into the car, one helped her and the other drove, and carried the fainted woman The young woman left the village, probably to see a doctor!
Soon a group of young men came out of the village, some with ropes and some with fishing nets and other tools. They were divided into three groups, ten people in each group took turns to go into the water for 10 minutes to search.In the beginning, the three of them only searched within one or two hundred meters of the river, but now there are about 200 people searching, and even those who went out to work have been called back. It is estimated that all the young men in the village have come.Each of them has good water quality. There is a person every 60 meters on the river surface, and the search range reaches 600 meters.There are also some teenagers holding bamboo rafts on the river surface. On the bamboo rafts are ropes, sickles and other tools. If they find someone, they can use them.

Dozens of people took turns to dive and search for it several times, but they couldn't find it. The people watching on the shore also had anxious faces. Only in the evening did the police station come to three policemen.But so what, it’s useless, I asked this and that on the shore, and finally no one had time to talk to them, so I continued diving to find someone.This is not hunting for thieves, but hunting people from the bottom of the water, and the police can't help them. If it's about calling frogmen, the dozen or so people in the river are as good as those frogmen in terms of water skills.

When it was almost dark, the body was not found, and the salvage workers were exhausted, and the lips of all the people were frozen white, white, and purple.The people watching from the shore talked a lot. I wanted to tell Ye Feiji to leave, but my car hadn't come back yet, so I had no choice but to wait on the shore.

The exhausted salvage team salvaged for more than an hour. When it was completely dark, there was no way to salvage. In order to avoid accidents, they had to go home first and come back the next day.

My car was borrowed by the village chief. Ye Feiji and I went over to ask when we could come back, but the village chief didn't know, and it didn't matter if we didn't come back. We just stayed in the village for one night.

Ye Feiji took a look at me, and I touched Xiao Jianzaki's head, seeing that she must be hungry too, so I nodded. If I want to spend the night here, I can see if I can find the body tomorrow. Can help in the water search.

The sky began to drizzle, and everyone went back to the village. The village head took me, Ye Feiji, and Xiao Jianqi back home.But I couldn't understand the local dialect, only the village head and Ye Feiji were talking, and I was sitting on the side with a bowl of hot tea to drink to warm my stomach.

The village chief's name is Zhang Chengguo. He is about 40 years old. He is thin and small but he is very energetic and warm to others, but he cannot speak Hakka.There are seven people in this family, the village chief and his wife, two old people, two daughters, and a son. The family sells baskets. They are not too poor but not much better.

After eating breakfast in the morning, I went out. When I arrived at Xinche Township, I watched the salvage of corpses by the river all day. At this time, my stomach was already growling with hunger, but I was embarrassed to say that I was hungry, so I could only wait for dinner like this.

Ye Feiji asked village chief Zhang why the grandma took her granddaughter to jump into the river. Village chief Zhang didn't know, he only knew that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had quarreled in the morning and almost got into a fight. When the daughter-in-law went to plant peanuts, the old man took the granddaughter went out.

The cause and effect of the incident are unclear, and Ye Feiji and we two outsiders don't want to ask too many questions, but after hearing the village head say that the family is relatively poor and this happened, I decisively took out 100 yuan and said that the eldest sister fainted and asked for money to see a doctor. Use it for them!
The village chief refused at first, but finally accepted the 100 yuan, saying that he would send it over later, and then told his wife to prepare dinner.It is estimated that I paid 100 yuan when I made a move, and I was driving a motorcycle. I must be a distinguished guest. The hospitality should not be sloppy, and I even killed a chicken and a duck.

During the meal, Village Chief Zhang and her wife kept picking up vegetables for Xiao Jianzaki, and asked me why the little girl was so quiet, and I had to say that she couldn't speak and was born dumb.

After the meal, Village Chief Zhang went out, probably to the house where the grandparents threw themselves into the river. Her wife arranged a bed for Ye Feiji and me.They were all in the same room, with two beds, she and Xiao Mizaki slept in the big one, and I slept in the small one alone.

As soon as I lay down, Ye Feiji was very energetic, and asked me mysteriously, why do you have so much money as a teenager!The shot is a hundred, without blinking an eye.She said that her mother opened a noodle shop in the county. After working hard all day, if the business is good, she can only earn 30 to [-] yuan.

I asked her if she was trying to get me out, planning to kill me and seek my wealth, and after I finished speaking, I put the quilt over my head and asked Ye Feiji to talk about it tomorrow.

But she still talked endlessly, saying that she would hang out with me in the future, and she would follow me wherever I went, so as not to be scolded by her mother for being lazy every day at home.

The reason why I met Ye Feiji was because I went to eat noodles in her noodle shop. Her mother doesn't know how to listen to my Hakka dialect.Ye Feiji used to study in Babu, so she can listen and speak Hakka, and then we chatted. I didn't expect that she could speak most of the local dialects.I told her that I was looking for my younger sister, but I couldn’t understand the local dialect, so I simply asked her to be an interpreter. As soon as she heard that she could travel around and get paid every three days, she agreed.

To be honest, Ye Feiji's name is ridiculous, but he is quite handsome, 1.6 meters [-] is a bit taller than me, it would be great if he can marry such a wife in the future.

Ye Feiji saw that I put the quilt over my head and ignored her, shut my mouth and turned off the light, and went to sleep, and I fell asleep not long after, in my dream I vaguely heard a voice calling "Brother Jumping River!"

This voice was so familiar, and upon listening carefully, it turned out to be Tongtong. I opened my eyes in elation, and Tongtong was standing by the bed, telling me to get up quickly, and wanted to take me to a place.

After I got up, I found that my body was still lying on the bed. At this time, I stood by the bed and looked at myself on the bed, and couldn't help but pee in fright.Is it me standing or the one on the bed, or this is the kind of soul out of body in Journey to the West, no wonder I can still see it without turning on the light.

Tong Tong told me not to worry, there will be no problems, it is completely like a dream, let me rest assured!I asked her where she was taking me, Tong Tong said, didn't you call me by the river at noon today?Now we're going to explore the bottom of that river.
