Raising Ghosts Records
Chapter 48 A Skeleton
Chapter 48 Two Skeletons
Village head Zhang and I both asked them what they were doing and why they swam back without fishing.Wu Litao and the others turned pale with fright after they swam to the shore, saying that it was neither his mother nor his daughter, and that there was a skeleton buried in the sand. His mother and his daughter just jumped into the river yesterday, so it is impossible to become a skeleton today Yes, there are ghosts at the bottom of the river.
Village head Zhang and I were stunned when we heard this. How could it be a skeleton?What's going on, but I believe Tongtong, Wu Litao's mother and his daughter must be buried in the sand.
They didn't believe me, even though I assured them again and again, they didn't want to go into the water anymore. Although Wu Litao said he wasn't afraid, he couldn't fish it alone!
Seeing their bear appearance, I said helplessly, let me do it!Ye Feiji hurriedly pulled me aside, and asked me if my mind was broken, and it wasn't your mother and your daughter who drowned, what kind of hero are you?
I'm not trying to be a hero, I dare to do this because I have Tongtong around, but Ye Feiji doesn't know that I have a powerful little water ghost, so it is understandable to be worried about me.Village head Zhang also persuaded me not to be brave, it is too dangerous to go into the water alone, but I ignored it, and said to the three young men while taking off my clothes, your courage has grown to the crotch, look at me!Then I jumped into the water.
Although it was almost Qingming at this time, the water temperature was still very cold. I am not good at swimming, but there is no need to be afraid of children in the water.I swam to the middle of the river with my backstroke and whispered to Tongtong to come and help me. After 30 seconds, I saw a school of fish under the water.
These fish are as thick as thighs, and there are more than ten or twenty, and the small ones are as thick as arms, about two or three catties, and there are hundreds of them. The river in the 90s was so clear that you could even see the sand when you dived to a depth of two or three meters.I dived into the water and saw these big and small fish swept the sand pile with their tails one by one, and after a while, a faint leg bone was exposed.
Sure enough, it was a skeleton, and they were right. I dived to the bottom of the water and surfaced after a long time, pretending to be digging for people.With the help of those fish, the sand pile was almost leveled in about 5 minutes, exposing two human bones, one large and one small.
I was also shocked. How could the person who drowned yesterday turned into two skulls overnight?Where is the meat?If these two human bones are not the pair of grandparents and grandchildren, how can it be such a coincidence that they are two bones, one big and one small?
I dived into the bottom of the river to have a closer look, and found that the two skeletons were still connected by muscles and bones, but there was no flesh at all except the tendons. Something ate their flesh, and it was so fine that it seemed to be dissolved. Not left.
It seems that I still have to ask Tongtong later, maybe she will know.I got out of the water and told them to come down quickly to help, and gave me the fishing net. Those young guys looked at each other, and in the end it was Wu Litao who got into the water first before they followed.
After getting the fishing net rope, several people went into the water and put the two bones into the net, then tied them briefly with the rope, and one person took the rope and swam to the shore at one end.
After dragging the two skeletons ashore, Village Chief Zhang shook his head and sighed, while Wu Litao held back his tears and asked me, is this really his mother and daughter?Before I could speak, a young man saw the copper coin tied with a red string on the foot of the little skull and asked Wu Litao to look at it, and Wu Litao fainted on the spot.
Village head Zhang told me that this is Wu Litao's mother and daughter, and that the copper coin was brought by his daughter Xiaomengkong when he was one year old, saying that they would grow up safely and quickly.Now the little girl drowned and turned into a skeleton again. Everyone is very sad, saying that Xiaomengkong is so cute, and her grandma is really vicious!He died as soon as his old bones died, and he had to drag his granddaughter with him.
Although Wu Litao knew that his mother and daughter would definitely not survive, they couldn't even save the corpses and turned into two skeletons. How did he suffer from this blow, so he passed out without even putting on his clothes.
Ye Feiji asked the village chief how to deal with it. The village chief said that taking it back would cause panic in the village, and it would not be good to spread it to other villages. He asked the two young people to go home and bring two quilts.Another young man dressed the unconscious Wu Litao and carried him home. Only Village Chief Zhang, me and Ye Feiji were left on the river bank.
Village head Zhang kept smoking, and Ye Feiji and I didn't speak. Not long after, village head Zhang called the young men who had been carrying quilts back, and each of them carried a quilt.Village head Zhang told the two men to spread the quilt on the ground, and then he picked up a skeleton and rolled it up on the quilt. The two young men wanted to carry another small skeleton, but the village head said no. They said that their wife was just pregnant, and it was unlucky to touch this thing.
In this way, Village Chief Zhang wrapped the two skeletons in a quilt by himself, tied them together with a rope, and carried them back to the village on his shoulders.
On the way back to the village, many children stood at the door of their own houses to watch, and were dragged home by adults twisting their ears. This is a taboo in the countryside, and children can't watch it.
Village head Zhang went all the way back to Wu Litao's house. There was no one in his house. There was originally a family of four, but now his mother and daughter died. His wife passed out from grief yesterday. She is probably still awake in the town hospital.Wu Litao's body was already exhausted after a whole day of salvage work yesterday, and he cried and stayed up all night last night.Just now I saw my mother and daughter turned into skeletons. It's really pitiful for an ordinary person to suffer such multiple physical and mental blows.
Fortunately, there were uncles and nephews in the same room. After the bones were recovered, some went to the town to buy funeral items, and some went to the next village to borrow coffins.Village head Zhang thanked me and Ye Feiji, saying that we are the benefactors of their village, we have nothing to repay, and we can only wish good people a safe life.
Village head Zhang said that my car came back early in the morning, and I was really sorry for delaying us for one night. Now I don't have time to entertain us for dinner before leaving. I hope you can understand.Ye Feiji waved his hand and said it was all right, while I told Village Chief Zhang that we were not in a hurry to leave. I wanted to find out why the grandparent and grandson turned into skeletons overnight, and what terrible things existed in this river.
Ye Feiji tugged at the corner of my clothes, and signaled me not to meddle in my own business, there is still a younger sister to look for!I ignored her.
Village head Zhang said that the people at the police station have been notified, and they will come to confirm and cancel the account later.I asked Village Chief Zhang if he had money for funerals?Village head Zhang shook his head and said that each family could only lend him some money. Hearing what the village head said, I immediately took out 500 yuan and said to use it first!
Village head Zhang was also polite, and after accepting it, he did not forget to say that I am a really good person, but I must make it clear that if I want to collect the money in the future, I will not go to him, but to Wu Litao.
I smiled and said it's okay, just treat it as a free donation. At this time, I was also thinking in my heart, this money also fell from the sky, so it's okay to be more generous.What's more, I don't know how much the gold bricks and jade carvings I hide in the cave are worth, and there are dozens of bundles of hundred-yuan bills!What is the 500 yuan worth?
But although this is 500 yuan, it is no better than today!A family with a decent life in the village can earn only this amount of hard work for a year.Because there is no income from farming, if you rely on raising pigs, you need two or three big fat pigs, which is a lot of money.So today we find it inconceivable that those rich people buy a car with millions of dollars, but in their eyes it is similar to us buying a bicycle for hundreds of dollars.
Seeing me casually opening my mouth to give 500 yuan for free, Ye Feiji couldn't help opening her mouth. She pulled me aside and asked me if I was Wu Litao's long-lost biological brother.
I laughed at how this is possible, she said, if it wasn't, why would you give so much money to others casually, saying that I am really stupid with rich people, and that I am so generous because of no reason for relatives.Ye Feiji strongly demanded that I give her a raise, which was only seven yuan a day, she was so wronged!I can't tell her, so I will add 3 yuan to her, 10 yuan a day.But if you can help me find my sister, then I will reward you with 200 yuan.Ye Fei scolded me for being stingy, and said that he wanted 15 yuan, and if he helped me find my sister, he would reward her with 500 yuan.And she didn't forget to say that counting from 13:13 last night to [-]:[-] this morning, there are [-] hours in total, and don't forget that the overtime pay is [-] yuan.
Ye Feiji, this eldest sister is really greedy!I didn't know how to refuse her, I just said let me think about it and give her an answer tomorrow.
In the afternoon, everything was almost ready. I invited a Taoist master to do the scriptures and bought a basket of firecrackers, paper money, candles, etc.There was a coffin at Wu Litao's door. I asked the village head why there was only one coffin!Doesn't that kid need it?The village chief said that children who died young could not be buried in ancestral graves, so coffins were not used.
After hearing this, I remembered that children who died young in my hometown did not have coffins. Maybe this is a folk custom!But I felt pitiful when I thought about it, so I suggested buying a new quilt to cover the burial, and the village chief listened to my suggestion.
In the evening, two policemen came from the police station to confirm the cancellation of the case and the cancellation of the account. At least they knew that it was a real suicide. Otherwise, the death of two people would be a major case.
Only my relatives and neighbors participated in the funeral, and Ye Feiji and I were outsiders, so Village Chief Zhang asked us to go back to his house to rest first, and at this moment someone called Third Uncle to come.
Ye Feiji and I turned our heads and saw a blind old man with a cane in the corner. It was the third uncle from yesterday. I asked the village head who the third uncle was!How his eyes are blind.
The village head said that the third uncle was born with ghost eyes. He is 81 years old this year. When he was 16 years old, he saw something he shouldn't see on a hill, and he blinded himself to save his life.As for what he saw, he never dared to say, he only said that he would die if he told the story, and told the villagers not to go to that hill at night.
After the village chief finished speaking, he ran over to help the blind old man. Looking at his eyes that had been blind for 65 years, I felt uncomfortable.I don't know what he saw on that mountain back then, why he had to stab his eyes blind to survive.
