Chapter 1 001: Retrieving the Corpse
Chapter 1 001: Retrieve the corpse
Jiangzhe Province, Lugang District, Jiangxin Island.
Jiangbei and Jiangnan are separated by the fast Oujiang River. The most famous person on the Oujiang River is the corpse fishermen.
Anyone who falls into the river will never survive.
The family members have to spend a lot of money to hire someone to help with the body removal. Whether they can recover the body depends on their luck.
One year there was a severe cold and the plants were frosted. The villagers expected that there would be no harvest in the coming year.
The villagers were panicking. At this time, a Taoist priest passed by the place and gave him some advice.
The weather is extremely cold and the river is frozen. There is an uninhabited island on the river, also known as Jiangxin Island.
In response to what the Taoist said, everyone walked across the frozen river and built a temple on the island, naming it Jiangdu Temple.
The Taoist priest has been dispatching villagers to build temples this year.
According to the Taoist priest, the temple worships the Sidu Water God, and the temple will be closed in the Great Cold on the day the temple is built.
A little more incense, and the words will indeed come true.
The surface of the fast-flowing river is stable, and people entering the river do not need the help of corpse fishermen. They can save themselves with a little knowledge of water properties.
The farmers will grow new buds and have a good harvest in the spring.
The villagers thanked the Taoist priest and presented him with money and silk.
The Taoist priest declined and invited everyone to build a raft and send the money and silk to Jiangdu Temple to continue worshiping the Sidu Water God.
The villagers followed the instructions of the Taoist priest and performed a small sacrifice every three days and a big prayer every five days.
The Taoist priest was happy and wanted to leave this place.
The villagers prepared wine and meat and said goodbye to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest tried every possible means to evade the offer, but to no avail, so he drank with the villagers one by one that day.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was drunk, and the Taoist priest's face turned red. The leader of the corpse collectors used his drunkenness to ask about Jiangdu Temple, and the Taoist priest subconsciously revealed the secret.
…
"What did the Taoist priest say?" Lu Qiao asked excitedly.
"No rush, just listen to me first, take a sip each. The island is very cold. Take a sip to keep away the cold, and then I will continue." Dahai smiled and took out the silver tin pot on his waist, took a sip, and handed it to everyone, who followed suit.
One bite per person.
"Wow! It's so spicy. What kind of wine is this??" Lu Qiao asked.
Dahai patted Luqiao's arm: "It's seventy degrees of suffocation."
"My head is already dizzy." Lu Qiao blinked, feeling his eyelids were heavy.
"Who isn't? I'm afraid I'll get drunk before I have time." Lixia smiled.
Han Dong took out a few bags of potato chips: "I brought food!"
This is an uninhabited island. You can only get to the island by ferry, and this place is also called Jiangxin Island.
But there is no temple on the island, just a large piece of abandoned flat land.
A team of four stood on the island. All the boats had left. Dahai had agreed that the boatman would land on the island at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to pick them up.
At this time, Luqiao could feel that looking across the island to the south and north of the Yangtze River, there were all brightly lit high-rise buildings, but here, not a single firefly could be seen.
When he took out his mobile phone and it showed that there was no signal, Lu Qiao scratched his head and thought about how to solve the signal problem.
Of course, Luqiao's eyes gradually became blurry at this time. Luqiao was a small planner in Lukang, a third-tier city.
With a monthly salary of 3,000, the company's anchor Uncle Snake is a well-known outdoor adventure anchor.
A local platform has 630,000 fans. The recent data has been twists and turns. It keeps falling and is close to the bottom. In order to find new live broadcast routines.
Luqiao was helplessly asked to take over the task at the critical moment, and he had to come up with hot live broadcast content within a week.
Lu Qiao found a local haunted house adventure group in Lukang.
There are more than 200 people in the QQ group chatting all day long, discussing which haunted house to explore.
But in the end, after two days of discussion, we rented a boat and collected deposits from the group. In the end, only four people were willing to come out: Dahai, Han Dong, Lixia, and Luqiao.
Lu Qiao had no choice but to go. He came to this group just to find suitable live broadcast content so that he could solve the company's problems and also solve his own salary problem.
Who would have thought that shortly after arriving, in order to heighten the atmosphere, netizen Dahai told such a story.
Luqiao searched all over the Internet and only knew a little about Jiangxin Island.
At this time, Dahai said a lot of useful information, which was an unexpected surprise, and the recorder on Lu Qiao's waist also recorded it.
Even if you are extremely drunk, you can still record this story.
Lu Qiao held up his eyelids and spoke again: "The Taoist priest said... what did he say?"
Dahai took another sip and screwed on the lid: "The atmosphere is almost here, sit down and talk."
Han Dong and Li Xia beside them had already found two pieces of grass to sit down on, and Lu Qiao sat down while squatting and touching a stone.
Dahai patted his butt and sat down again, smiling happily and speaking slowly.
…
When everyone was drunk and the Taoist priest was confused, the leader of the corpse recovery team said one thing.
The Taoist priest smiled and revealed the secret: "There is no such thing as the Four Water Gods. He is just a man who fell into the river, and his resentment was so deep that he turned into a water ghost. Entrusted to me by the dream, I thought about building a temple to worship him, and gather incense to help him practice.
The ghost is a good ghost who knows how to repay kindness. He calmed down the river so that the Oujiang River would no longer swallow people. It also prayed for a good harvest and good weather."
He does not mean that.
Everyone was drunk, but a group of corpse collectors were sober.
The corpse collectors who had lost their business gathered together at night to make a calculation, and for future business, they drew lots to select one person.
The unlucky man caught the lottery, carried the Taoist priest on his back, and carried the raft to Jiangdu Temple. He placed the Taoist priest inside the temple, took out flint and started a fire.
The flames were blazing, and the people were trying to go back to the south of the Yangtze River on the raft, but they were washed away by the river again halfway, and they didn't even have time to scream.
That night, everyone was drunk.
Only the person who retrieved the body heard the miserable screams, and they all covered their mouths and noses in great pain.
After one night, on the next morning, the villagers woke up one after another and saw the raging river again, the temple blackened by fire in the distance, and of course the 17 people bleeding to death around them, all of whom were corpse diggers.
…
Dahai looked at everyone with a smile: "The place where we are sitting now is the former site of Jiangdu Temple."
Li Xia waved his hand: "Who are you trying to scare? There are no signs of burning here!"
Lu Qiao was so drunk that he put his hands behind his back and secretly pressed down the recorder. He thought that the story was indeed attractive enough. He would go back and create a second time to solve the network problem here. Uncle She, the company's big anchor, had something to say, and
The effect of the show is absolutely explosive!
Dahai touched the ground, grabbed a handful of dust, let go and let it fly in the wind, and slowly said: "Because it has been dealt with long ago. After all, this matter has been hundreds of years ago. We have also thought about inviting bids to transform this place into an amusement park.
, but within a year, due to the severe typhoon weather and corrosion from the river moisture, the huge Ferris wheel collapsed. It was too dark at night, so you didn’t see it. If you look carefully to the east during the day, you should be able to see the amusement park.
’s old address.”
"I'm curious, how do you know this story!" Han Dong asked, then he reluctantly finished speaking and fell to the side.
Rikka reacted, covering her head, and softened before she could speak.
Two of the four fell, and Lu Qiao could hardly bear it anymore. Looking at the only sober sea, Lu Qiao felt something was wrong.
Encountered a scam? Encountered a bad person? Something is going to happen!
Dahai said with a smile: "The story is 70% true and 30% false. I made it up. I'm sorry I just lied to you. I gave you not only wine, but also a little bit of drugs. Of course I don't know how to do it.
Your waist is not for the money on your body, I have a more pure purpose!"
Lu Qiao was very excited, but his head no longer obeyed and his vision began to blur.
In Lu Qiao's field of vision, Dahai took out a stack of dream catchers from his backpack and smiled: "Sleep peacefully, I am telling you interesting stories to make you have weird dreams. I am not interested in you, I only want to dream."
If you are interested, it will come, and I have been waiting for it for several years. The instrument has positioned it and it has come back. This time is my third time trying to catch it. Sleep peacefully!"
