The fifty-seventh chapter, the unrecoverable corpse
As the days passed, his wife had asked some Yellow River craftsmen. Huotxt everyone gave different opinions, saying that there were many evil spirits and evil spirits around the water, and it was inevitable that he had attracted some female ghosts. However, the way people around the Yellow River handled such things was different from those in other places. The things in the water were not controlled by anyone, and they could only pray to the Iron Head Dragon King or the River God.
His wife spent a lot of money on this matter seriously, but to no avail. Her husband, Fat Fish, became increasingly thin and haggard, and finally, he did not come back a few days ago.
"That's not simple. It must have been hooked by the water ghost to remove the soul?" Tian said without thinking.
"You need to say this? Don't interrupt if you don't understand!" Wushuang stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth.
"The Ruoshui area has been a dangerous water area since ancient times. There are not many thousand or eight hundred people drowned. Originally, this matter was not a big deal. If the corpse was easy to salvage, we would ask the watermen why? This little thing has stumped you? It's just a water ghost." In history, no one who drowned by the water was for nothing? People who grew up by the water can also water. Children grew up soaking in the water since childhood, and they could swim with their eyes closed. If they were not entangled by some evil spirits and evil spirits, they would not die.
Generally speaking, the ones who ask the water man to catch the corpse are all this a mess. When asked about the water man, he would ask the Iron Head Dragon King if he could catch the corpse. Only by getting the Iron Head Dragon King’s hint can he take on the deal. The Zhang family has been doing this deal in Kaifeng for several generations, and it is impossible for him to not understand the rules.
The more I think about this, the more strange it became. The three children couldn't help but feel excited and wanted to continue listening to Lao Zhang's explanation.
Master Zhang has already asked the River God with ancient methods. Although their skills are all mastered by the Du family, over the years, some ancient methods have become more or less changed. It is not that they are not accurate, but that they are definitely not as good as Du Bo.
The river god means that the body sinks twenty miles south bank of Ruoshui River, and there is no hint that he can catch it. Although Master Zhang doesn't work like Du Bo for the rest of his life to ask about water, he has saved many people and has never seen such a situation. He hesitated at the moment, and could not resist Dongzi's side having stuffed money into his hands. Who would still think that the money is biting his hand? No, the deal is considered to be taken over.
But when Master Zhang rowed the corpse-catching boat near the waters that happened, he felt a little regretful. That area of water was so dangerous! There was an undercurrent under the water, and even through the turbid Yellow River water surface, you could see corpses floating under the water. Some even smiled at Master Zhang.
He didn't think much about it, but still followed the ancient method, killing chickens and sacrificing the iron-headed dragon king, and then calculated the distance to the waters where something happened, and cast a net to catch the corpse when he arrived.
This fishing lasted all day, until the sun set, and there was still no movement in the water. A few corpses were caught, or one was caught.
Because he repeatedly threw down the corpse net, he could always catch corpses every now and then, but none of the corpses caught were fat fish, but women's corpses, and they were all the same corpses. The corpses who caught corpses had their rules. The corpses in the water could not be salvaged at will. If they were not caught on the 18th day after death, they could not be caught. This means that this person was taken away by the River God, and you could not steal people from the River God.
Therefore, no matter whose body is caught, as long as it is not a fat fish, the body must be thrown back.
He repeated over and over again, and he had hit hundreds of websites in a day, only four successes, but all he caught was a woman's body. The woman looked pretty and had a pretty face. She looked like she had been dead for a few years, but she was soaked in the water but did not rot at all, and there was a smile on her lips.
This is called a laughing corpse. As the saying goes, you would rather listen to ghosts cry than ghosts laugh. Master Zhang knew that it was powerful and guessed that the fat fish might have been caught by this female ghost. This female ghost is now reminding herself not to meddle in other people's business.
But after Master Zhang took the victim's money, he had to do things. He made up his mind to continue fishing. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening and the wind was blowing on the water. Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder above his head, and the waves on the water were surging. If he forced him, he would probably be lifted down.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the net. He prayed in his heart that in the last net, he would not look at what he found and would talk about it when he got ashore.
So, he tied the corpse net to the stern of the boat and quickly rowed back. Finally, the boat leaned against the shore. He pulled the corpse net and looked at it with a flashlight and almost scared to death!
It turned out that the corpse of a fat fish really appeared in the corpse net. The corpse was pulling the corpse net hard with both hands, as if it was trying to tear the net and go back to the Yellow River. Lao Zhang had worked all his life and had never encountered such a horrifying scene. There were rice dumplings in the large tomb on land, so how could people drowned in the water?
He looked at it in real detail. Lao Zhang's face was pale and he was filled with water, his stomach was bulging, and the water plants on his head were covered with water. At this moment, he had already pulled a small mouthful of the net, but now Lao Zhang was pulled to the water again. The fat fish saw the light and stopped moving.
But Master Zhang could see clearly just now. The moment the corpse was pulled up from the water, it was obvious that the fat fish was biting the mesh with his mouth and pulling it with both hands. Now, there was still the foul smelling corpse net left in his mouth.
"Have you put it back?" Du Bo asked him after hearing this.
"Well, let him go back. If you catch this kind of corpse, you may have to be cheated. At that time, it will harm his family." Master Zhang said.
"You guy knows it, you're right." Du Bo was half angry when he heard this.
"Bo Du, why is that corpse so difficult to catch? It still moves when it is caught. Could it be that this person is soaked in the water for a day and has not drowned? The people by the Yellow River are so good." Wushuang leaned against the side and smoked Xiaoyan and asked him.
"Young Master Kui doesn't know that this kind of water is rare. I guess the female ghost in the water has trapped his mind. Even if he dies, he will not want to go home. He is willing to be a cow and a horse for the female ghost in the water. If he forced it to salvage it, the corpse will definitely be a cause for trouble."
"What kind of tricks?" Mr. Lu asked him again.
"If you sell it in the soil for less than three days, you will be deceased. When the corpse rises, it will be the day when his family will be destroyed. At that time, the first person who will suffer will be Dongzi." Du Bo told him.
