Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 51

Not long after I returned to the village, Professor Sun and others came back. They probably didn't dare to go down the river, so they went back to the village to ask someone to help salvage it.But still so stingy, he planned to ask two people to help them fish out the buffalo skeleton for ten yuan.In normal times, someone would definitely pay five yuan to hire a person. After all, you can buy three catties of pork.However, rumors had spread in the village at this time. No one knew about the fact that Wu Litao's mother and daughter had turned into skeletons, because they were wrapped in quilts and carried home, and the coffin was put in when it came. , Even uncles, nephews and relatives don't know.But the buffaloes in Village Zhang's family were drowned and turned into skeletons, which is well known in the village. Now it is said that there are terrifying monsters in the river, which can eat up human flesh in one go.So let alone five yuan now, even if it is 500 yuan, few people would dare to go down the river to fish it. After all, life is more important than anything else.

Helpless, Professor Sun and the others can only ask Village Chief Zhang, but Village Chief Zhang has no choice!A big buffalo sinks into the bottom of the river and turns into a skeleton. Who would have the guts to go down the river?Yesterday, the person who retrieved the corpse broke out in a cold sweat after hearing about the cows belonging to Zhang Village. To be honest, I wouldn’t have dared if Tongtong hadn’t been there. After all, I don’t know what’s in the bottom of the water.
I asked Tong Tong Niu, did you not notice anything wrong after pulling Niu into the water?When the meat was eaten up and buried in sand.Tongtong said that after the cow was drowned, it would have sunk to the bottom of the water, but when I came to the river, she didn't pay attention, and then found that the cow was gone, and then dug it out from the sand to become a skeleton.

Tongtong’s statement made my hair stand on end. In this way, it didn’t take half an hour for the big live cow to become a skeleton, but it happened during the few minutes when Tongtong was talking to me by the river.This is too scary. I can't imagine what kind of horrible thing exists at the bottom of the river. I don't know how many people will die here in the days to come. Now that experts are investigating, it should be found out.

What if no one wants to go down the river?I offer advice to Professor Sun, since no one is fishing for the cow skeleton, then don’t fish it, you can buy a piglet and throw it into the river for experimentation!

Professor Sun suddenly realized that his thigh was broken, so he went to a sow farmer in the village to buy a piglet weighing more than 20 kilograms.The piglet is housed in a special pig cage, which is densely woven. After it is lowered into the river, it is tied with a rope. Not only can you see what has eaten up the pork, but you can also lift the pig skeleton up by pulling the rope.

Of course, this work is relatively confidential, except for the village chief and me, no one knows what the piglets are for.

For the sake of confidentiality, the experiment can only be carried out at night, but Professor Sun, Researcher Wang and Lao Ding are not locals after all, and are not familiar with the situation of the river, so I hope that Village Chief Zhang can help guide the way tonight.Village head Zhang agreed, and went to the next village to borrow bamboo rafts that afternoon.

At about one o'clock at night, Village Chief Zhang put the piglets in a pig cage and carried them to the river. Professor Sun took a shovel, Lao Ding took a shovel, and Researcher Wang took their own waterproof flashlight.

There is no need to spend money to watch the fun, so I went out with him, but Professor Sun refused to let me go. It was the village head Zhang who said that I was reliable, and although my grade was not high, I could help at critical moments.Village head Zhang said that dozens of people in our village dived in the river for a day but did not find the body. It was the little brother who discovered the location of the body and went into the water to fish it out by himself.After hearing this, Professor Sun agreed for me to come, but told me that no matter what I found tonight, I should not mention it to anyone.

Not long after we went out, we came to the river. Although it was already spring, the water temperature was still very low, and the frogs and insects had not yet come out to move, so the surroundings were quiet.A large bamboo raft had been prepared by the river, which was borrowed by village chief Zhang from a village upstream. Researcher Wang gave each of us a waterproof flashlight.

After Village Chief Zhang lifted the pig onto the bamboo raft, we also stood on it. Then Village Chief Zhang punted the boat and rowed the bamboo raft to the area of ​​the cattle skeleton.However, because the water was too deep and the night was dark, the flashlight could not reach the bottom of the water, so we had to row to another place.

Finally, we stopped at a place close to the river, where the depth of the river is only about 1.2 meters, so the flashlight can clearly shine on the bottom of the water.

After everything was ready, Lao Ding threw the pig and its cage into the river. Watching the little pig struggling painfully at the bottom of the river made me feel uncomfortable. The six-year-old Tongtong was sunk into the bottom of the river. In the end, it is estimated that he struggled like this!

After the little piggy was thrown into the river, he struggled for about a minute and then stopped moving. We all held flashlights and could feel the beating of everyone's heart.It was as if what we had lured was a monster, and in the next second it suddenly jumped out of the river bottom and swallowed us together with the bamboo rafts with its huge mouth.This is the fear of the unknown!No one knew what the thing that ate the cow into its skeleton was, and they were afraid that we would be in danger on the river in the middle of the night.

A few of us sat on the bamboo rafts, and our flashlights shone on the little piglets at the bottom of the river. We waited for more than an hour. During this time, no one said a word, as if they were all wooden statues.Even so, the meat-eating monster we were waiting for did not appear, and the drowned little piggy was not missing a single hair, not to mention the meat was still there.

I remembered that time when Goddess Zhang and Goddess Zhang were catching Tongtong in the Xunjiang River, they also waited for two nights and did not come out. Could it be that the monster at the bottom of the river now knows that this pig is a trap and dare not come out?

Just when I was about to say it, an incredible thing happened. We all lay down on the bamboo rafts, with our entire faces almost touching the water, staring at the bottom of the river intently.

I saw that the dense sand at the bottom of the water moved as if being washed by the current, and was crawling towards the drowned piglet. After a while, the whole piglet was covered by sand and buried.

We all looked at me in disbelief, I looked at you, and then turned our eyes to the bottom of the river.Watching the sand squirming, I only felt uncomfortable all over, as if a grain of sand had penetrated into every pore of my body.Everyone was speechless, staring at the sand without daring to blink. What the hell is this? How could the sand move?
After 5 minutes, the sand stopped wriggling. Professor Sun and Lao Ding took the rope and pulled the pig cage up from the bottom of the water to see that the piglet in the cage had become a skeleton.

This is really beyond everyone's understanding. It is incredible that the meat was eaten by sand.Previously, I thought it might be a small fish that eats meat. Who would have thought that it was sand. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't believe it if I was killed.

Just when we surrounded the little piglet that had turned into a skeleton, we were shocked by the sound of "plopping" falling into the water behind us. We turned our heads and saw that it was Lao Ding who jumped into the water. .

Researcher Wang shouted: "Old Ding! What are you doing?"

After Lao Ding jumped into the water, the place where he jumped immediately became extremely turbid due to the shallow river water and a lot of mud and sand, and we couldn't see the situation in the water clearly.I don't know why he jumped down suddenly, whether he will turn into a skeleton later, the heart of each of us is raised in the throat.

In the end we breathed a sigh of relief, because Lao Ding got out of the water not long after. Village head Zhang and Professor Sun pulled him onto the bamboo raft, and saw a bulging little bag in his hand.Lao Ding's madness made everyone break into a cold sweat. You must know how terrifying the meat-eating sand was, and it ate a pig in a few minutes.

Holding the bag in his hand, Lao Ding gasped and said, "I scooped up a little bit of the sand, because I was afraid that the sand would disperse, so I did it."

Before Lao Ding could finish his sentence, Professor Sun interrupted him and yelled at Lao Ding, "Are you crazy, Lao Ding? You can just shovel the sand up with a shovel. Why take such a big risk and jump down?" ?” Professor Sun finished speaking and pointed to the shovel on the bamboo raft.

Seeing the depressed face of the shovel, the wet old Ding said in a crying voice why he didn't tell about the shovel earlier, which made him jump down when his brain got hot.

Professor Sun said that you suddenly jumped into the river without saying a word, your life is in danger!You brought the shovel just now, and you actually said you didn't know there was a shovel!
Lao Ding said that he forgot in a hurry, and I couldn't help laughing out loud. Such a person doesn't know how to be a senior researcher who studies supernatural imagination, and he doesn't know what supernatural phenomena he studies.

Lao Ding's actions scared everyone out of their souls. At this time, village head Zhang panicked and rowed the bamboo raft to the bank. When they arrived at the bank, they took the piglet skeleton and the bag of meat-eating sand back to the village. up.Village head Zhang tied the bamboo raft to a tree on the bank with a rope to prevent the water from washing it away. I told him to let him go back first, because my stomach hurts so much that the grass over there is convenient.

Village head Zhang said how can this be done, how dangerous it is to be alone!He was waiting for me on the side of the road and told me to hurry up.I turned around and ran to the grass not far away, took out the bead and called Tongtong out, and asked her in a low voice if she knew what the source of the sand was.

Tongtong said he didn't know, it was just ordinary sand, and he didn't understand why he could eat all the meat, and the amount of sand didn't increase after eating all the meat, so where did all the meat go?
Tong Tong said that this is ordinary sand, since it is ordinary sand, why does it have the ability to move, and the ability to move towards the target, which is obviously against science!

I asked Tongtong to help me grab a handful of sand and came back. With a faint green light on her body, she plunged into the river with a "plop" without saying a word.

Village head Zhang who heard the noise immediately shone a flashlight over and asked me why I jumped into the river.I said I was afraid of some monsters in the water, so I threw a big stone down to scare it.Village head Zhang urged me to hurry up, the river is in danger!
Three seconds later, Tong Tong surfaced with a pile of sand in his hands. I picked a piece of taro leaf and wrapped it in my pocket. Then I went back to the village with Village Chief Zhang.
