Yellow Spring Taboo

Chapter 26 The Weird Reservoir

I subconsciously groaned, and wanted to ask something, but in the end I chose to remain silent.

So, I got on the bus and drove towards Dongmen Village with the bus uncle.

At about six o'clock, we finally came to the boundary of Dongmen Village. From a distance, I saw a reservoir embankment a few hundred meters ahead, and beside the embankment was a large lush bamboo forest.

That should be the embankment of the Dongmen Reservoir in the photo, and Wang Feiyang in the photo is in the middle of the reservoir.

And below the reservoir, there is a desolate and ancient village. At this time, the sky has been slightly dark, and there is no light or smoke from the village, and it is so quiet that no sound can be heard. Sound, many houses made of mud have completely collapsed. Even the occasional brick houses are crumbling. From a distance, the weedy place no longer looks like a village, but more like a land where no one has lived for many years. Come take care of the grave.

Who would have thought that such a place like a deserted tomb had its heyday 20 years ago, and there were more than 300 people living here. They worked at the beginning of the day and rested at sunset. Wealthy, but leisurely, until that night, no one knew what happened, a whole village of more than 300 people suddenly went out halfway, and then jumped into the reservoir one by one as if under a spell Suicide, the floating corpse filled the entire reservoir the next day!
I looked at the black and white photo in my hand, and then glanced at the embankment of the reservoir over there. Wang Feiyang was still struggling in the photo, and I kept silently praying that nothing happened to him.

At the same time, I don't know what is the purpose of that female ghost leading us here. Can I really find out the real identity of that female ghost here, and find out the truth behind it?
There was no road ahead, the bus uncle and I stopped the car and quickly walked towards the embankment of the reservoir.

As soon as we walked in, we heard a harsh sound from the water pump. The bus uncle and I looked at each other with doubts written on our faces.

"Didn't this Dongmen Village be deserted 20 years ago? Why is there the sound of water being pumped?"

The bus uncle also felt very strange. He shook his head and signaled to get on the embankment first.

Walking up the embankment, I saw that on the other side of the embankment, there were three high-power pumps continuously pumping out the water in the reservoir, and the color of the water looked a little strange, black and red. .

And beside the small bamboo grove, I saw someone set up several big tents, and someone was lighting a fire and cooking beside the tent.

"What are those people doing here?"

I looked at the tent over there, frowned and asked the bus uncle next to me.

The face of the bus uncle also became a little ugly at this time, and then he strode towards the tent.

I hurriedly followed behind the bus uncle, and I kept looking around all the way, hoping to find Wang Feiyang's figure. Finally, I looked at the center of the reservoir according to the position shown in the photo in my hand, but it was empty Yes, there is no Wang Feiyang at all.

"Hello, what are you doing here?"

Soon, we came to the tent. The bus uncle took out his cigarette and handed it to one of the middle-aged men who were cooking.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man looked at us suspiciously, and didn't go to pick up the cigarettes handed out by the bus uncle, as if he was doubting our identities.

The bus uncle thought for a moment and replied: "We used to be from Dongmen Village. It's not too late to celebrate the New Year. I thought about coming back to burn incense on the ancestral graves. You see, no one has been to this village for more than 20 years. This suddenly seems Seeing that you are pumping water in this reservoir, come and ask if you are curious.”

As soon as the bus uncle said this, the man became a little agitated at that time, and then he turned around and ran into a tent, shouting loudly while running: "Professor Liu, Professor Liu, come out quickly, there are people from Dongmen Village coming!"

Accompanied by the middle-aged man's voice, some people in yellow overalls came out of the big tents. The one in the front was a man in his 60s with gray hair and glasses. The old man also looked a little excited when he saw us. When he came over, he grabbed the hand of the bus uncle and said, are you really the one who walked out of Dongmen Village?

The bus uncle and I were a little at a loss, then the bus uncle nodded and said, what are you doing?
The old man hastily introduced himself, saying that his name is Liu Huaidong, he is the director of the Geological Survey Bureau, and he has been in Dongmen Village for almost two months.

I'm wondering why the Geological Survey Bureau suddenly came to Dongmen Village?The bus uncle on the side also asked the same doubts as me. After hearing our question, Professor Liu's face suddenly became a little nervous.

"What's wrong?" the bus uncle asked.

Professor Liu pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said that it was the first time he encountered such a strange thing after so many years of geological exploration.

As soon as we heard it, we became energetic, and hurriedly asked Professor Liu what strange thing happened to him.

"You come with me."

Immediately afterwards, Professor Liu turned around and walked into one of the tents. The bus uncle and I looked at each other and followed behind him. After entering, we found that there were several large fish tanks inside the tent. In that fish tank, we saw a very strange scene.

Have you ever seen a catfish more than one meter long and a crucian carp more than half a meter long?And in this fish tank, there are these big and surprising things.

A catfish over one meter long, a crab as big as a watermelon, and even a loach that was supposed to be only a finger long, turned out to be the same as an eel.

"Where did these big guys come from?" the bus uncle asked with a frown.

"It's in this reservoir."

I was dumbfounded when I heard it. You said that it would be very rare to find such a big guy in a big river. How can such a big fish be raised in such a reservoir?

Professor Liu said that this is the strange place of this reservoir, but there are even more strange and terrifying things. Speaking of this, Professor Liu's face became more tense, and then asked us again, are we really from Dongmen Village?He also asked if we know if anything happened to the Dongmen Reservoir before?
The bus uncle replied: "Tell me first, what terrible things did you encounter in this reservoir? And why did you come here?"

Professor Liu thought for a moment, and replied that about three months ago, a group of wild fishing enthusiasts found this place by accident, and then caught such a surprisingly large fish in this reservoir. It attracted the attention of our Geological Survey Bureau, and suspected that there must be chemical weapons left over from the Anti-Japanese War buried under the reservoir. Because of the leakage, the fish here had mutated, so we sent people here immediately. Do surveys.

At the beginning, there were seven people from the Geological Bureau, but on the third day after they came, they all jumped into the reservoir and drowned.

I was startled and said, how could all seven people drown?
Professor Liu said that they also found it incredible, but although it was strange, they still sent people to join the police to retrieve the body at the first time, and three divers went down in total, but something more serious happened in the end.

"What?" My interest was immediately raised.

Professor Liu took a deep breath and replied: "Three divers went down one after another, two of them never got up again, and the only one who got up went crazy at that time, and was sent to a mental hospital, but the next day, he recovered from mental illness. The courtyard ran out and came back to this reservoir, jumped in and drowned."

Speaking of this, Professor Liu began to show a sad look on his face, saying that he has been in the field of geological exploration for decades, and it is not that he has never encountered weird and bizarre things. Such a large number of deaths has never been caused.

"What's next?" asked the bus uncle on the side.

"After that, we didn't dare to send divers down again, so we had to find a lifeboat and salvage it on the surface of the water. But after we launched the lifeboat, something we didn't expect happened again!"

"What happened again?" I felt my nerves tense up.

"One of the lifeboats suddenly lost its buoyancy when it reached the middle of the reservoir. It sank directly to the bottom of the reservoir as if it had fallen into a swamp!"
