There are many industries in this world.As the saying goes, you are the best.But today, the profession I want to talk about is probably not heard by many people. Even if they have heard of it, they still find it very mysterious.

That is, the corpse scavenger.

On the Yangtze River, corpse scavengers.

...

Yangtze.

The Yangtze River originates from the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.The main stream flows through 11 provinces and flows into the East China Sea east of Shanghai's Chongming Island. It has a total length of 6,387 kilometers. It is second only to the Nile River in Africa and the Amazon River in South America among the major rivers in the world, ranking third in the world.

With such a long river span, people living along the river will always circulate many mysterious legends about the Yangtze River through the ages.

It is said that there used to be a large bird in the Three Gorges Basin in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, with a wingspan of several hundred meters, and when it flew, it was overwhelmed with shadows.This bird, called Dawu, fell like a mountain, with bare legs measuring ten to twenty feet high.It likes to catch a kind of weird fish in the Yangtze River. The weird fish is like a small whale, more than ten meters long and black all over.

But from time to time, Dawu would also take away the humans living along the coast as a snack.

Mankind was overwhelmed. Under the leadership of a wise man in the Three Gorges, hundreds of tribes were gathered. It took 50 years to finally find Dawu's lair.Humans can't kill Dawu, but they found Dawu's eggs in the nest.

The bird's egg is 20 meters long and the height of three people.

The wise man ordered everyone to take out tools and break the eggs.

But that bird's egg is strange to say, it grows when you see the wind, and grows bigger when it is attacked, instantly like a mountain.The wise man was in a hurry, cutting the wood and burning the mountain, and finally burned the hard shell of the bird's egg.When he beat it with a tool, the bird egg broke, and the egg white and egg yolk flowed into the Yangtze River.

The original clear water of the Yangtze River was polluted and became muddy, and since then, it is no longer as clear as before.

But Dawu finally left in sorrow because of the loss of the bird's egg.

There is also a legend about an evil dragon locked under the Yangtze River.The evil dragon harmed one party, turning clouds and raining in the water.Whenever there is a fishing boat fishing on the river, the dragon will overturn the fishing boat. With its head up and mouth chewing, it swallows the fisherman who fell into the water.

The fishermen were so frightened that they did not dare to enter the Yangtze River to fish again.

Thousands of years ago, a master of Taoism passed by. He surrendered the dragon and locked the dragon under the Yangtze River with nine copper chains.And thirteen tokens were minted with gold, each token is different.But without exception, the tokens are engraved with complicated patterns, which are really beautiful.

The Taoist left a message saying that these 13 tokens must not be dug out from the bottom of the Yangtze River to see the light, otherwise not only those who dug the tokens will suffer disaster.The evil dragon will also break the seal and continue to be evil in the world.

The Yangtze River is very long and its waterways are very wide.As one of the two main rivers in the birthplace of civilization, the Yangtze River, too many evil things have happened.There are even too many folk tales that cannot be studied.

For example, the various water monsters in the river, the sand king, the iron coffin dragon king, and the deeds of mysterious creatures such as the giant dragon, the dragon and the walking dragon.

Who can tell if it is true or false!

And the beginning of the whole thing, now that I think about it carefully, I still have to start with the business of the Yangtze corpse carver.

The corpse scavenger is not uncommon, as long as there are large rivers, such a profession will be born.Because of this instinct, people have lived by water since ancient times. As the saying goes, they rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to draw water.People who rely on the river will naturally find a way to survive on the river.

If you walk too much at night, you will see a ghost, not to mention that there are more people looking for food in the river, and there will be many shipwrecks and water disasters.Therefore, in ancient times, in the Yangtze River Basin, especially in the Three Gorges area, corpse scavengers usually acted as trackers who pulled fibers on both sides of the river. It was indispensable that these trackers could earn some water to supplement their families.

But the modern economy has grown, and the tracker business has disappeared.However, the business of the corpse scavenger has improved, and even many companies on both sides of the Yangtze River have turned it into their main business.

why?

Because more and more people are dying in the Yangtze River.Some people have lost love, some have financial pressure, and some have depression.

In the end, all of them were thrown into the river water.

Behind every suicide, there are several grieving families.The people of our country pay attention to the peace of entering the land, and you have to see the dead when you live.The ghosts who fall into the water also have to go ashore.

This directly gave birth to the professionalization of Yangtze corpse hunters.

Located on the Yangtze River, Chongcheng is an important inland town with a population of close to 30 million.Gong Quan and Wen Zhuwu belong to the Yangtze River Yanshi Salvage Company.

The company received an entrustment the day before yesterday. The company decided that it was not difficult after investigation and exploration, and only sent two people and a boat to Makougou.

The two sailed out of the river early in the morning, and the water vapor raised by the speedboat kept hitting their faces.

Gong Quan, who was nearly forty-five years old, was dark. He smelled the water vapor on the Yangtze River and looked at the sky.

"Today's weather is good and cloudless. It is estimated that it will not rain." Wen Zhu was in his 50s and 20s and looked up at the sky with a smile.

Gong Quan shook his head: "Zhuwu, you are still too young. The weather on the Yangtze River will change when it changes. The sun may have been shining just now, and a rain cloud will soon float, and you will be beaten up by the weather. But the weather Whatever it is, the water of the Yangtze River is the most evil, unpredictable."

"Brother Quan, with your old profession, I'm still afraid of a shovel." Wen Zhuwu dug out his ears nonchalantly. As a young man, he really didn't like the preaching of middle-aged people.

What's more, he has a professional diving license.What kind of water has he never dived in the domestic rivers?The Yangtze River is a ball.

Gong Quan also knows that young people don't like to listen to these things, so he smiled and talked about the new order the company received a few days ago: "Did you read the information for today's task?"

"I saw that when a young girl was on the Castrol cruise ship, she didn't know what illness she had, and suddenly jumped off the roof of the cruise ship." Wen Zhuwu said: "Our company judges that the girl's body should be smooth. The Yangtze River was caught in the undercurrent. Finally, the corpse would sink to the bottom of the river before the Makougou chasing the soul. We only need to look for the entire chasing the soul, and the corpse should be found."

Seeing that Gong Quan's face was not so good, Wen Zhuwu asked: "Brother Quan, you don't seem to be very happy. Obviously, the way to survive this time should be relatively simple."

Gong Quan shook his head: "Zhuwu, you don't know. The boundary of Makougou is very evil. Strange things often happen."

"Really?" Wen Zhuwu suddenly became interested: "For example, what happened?"

"Forget it, even if you say that young people like you are not convinced, but also that we middle-aged people are superstitious." Gong Quan waved his hand: "It's almost there, check the equipment."
