Yellow Spring Taboo

Chapter 27 The Floating Corpse
Speaking of this, the expression on Professor Liu's face has become very gloomy. He said that a total of fourteen lives were buried in this reservoir, and now even the bodies cannot be recovered.

The bus uncle thought for a moment, and then asked: "So you don't dare to send people into the water to retrieve the corpses now, but use the method of pumping water to drain the water in this reservoir?"

Professor Liu nodded and said that this incident has attracted great attention from above. It is said that Dongmen Village has been uninhabited for 20 years, and the reservoir has been abandoned for 20 years. Now that such a big event has happened, the above directly approved the diversion of the canal. To pump water, while recovering the fourteen corpses, one must also figure out the secrets hidden under the reservoir.

I looked at the large reservoir outside the tent, and said that it is not easy to drain such a large reservoir. How long have you been pumping it?

"It's been almost two months."

As soon as I said this, my face froze, saying how is this possible?The reservoir has been pumped for two months, why does it seem that there is no trace of consumption?
Professor Liu frowned even tighter, saying that this is what he is most worried about now. It seems that there is a dark river hidden under the reservoir. , This has been smoked for two months, but it has not played the slightest role, and there are even weirder things.

"Anything else?" the bus uncle asked.

"The water in this reservoir is slowly changing." Professor Liu replied: "At the beginning, the water in this reservoir was green. After about half a month of pumping, the water began to turn yellow and cloudy. At first we also I didn't pay attention to it, I thought it was stirring the mud below, but a month ago, the water started to turn black, but now, the black water is actually mixed with red!"

"Go out and see."

The bus uncle suddenly interrupted Professor Liu, and then walked out of the tent first.

Standing in front of the reservoir, looking at the water in the reservoir, as Professor Liu said, it is black and red, giving people a very strange feeling. After a long time, it even makes people feel flustered. restless.

Professor Liu stood next to him and asked us again if we were from Dongmen Village and if we knew what Dongmen Village had experienced before. He also said that he had checked the files of Dongmen Village. The more than 20 people living in Dongmen Village all disappeared overnight. Is it true?

In my mind, the incident that the bus uncle told me earlier appeared in my mind. More than 300 people in Dongmen Village jumped into the reservoir overnight. I was just about to explain the situation to Professor Liu, but the bus uncle told me Stop it.

He first glanced at the water in the reservoir, then stared at Professor Liu with a serious face and said, "I have a way to float those fourteen corpses from the reservoir, but after finding their corpses, you must agree I have one thing."

Professor Liu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he hurriedly said something.

"Promise me first."

"Promise you what?"

"After finding those fourteen corpses, you must immediately evacuate here unconditionally, and promise not to return to this reservoir again."

Professor Liu froze for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and then asked why did you let us leave?In the event of such a weird incident, our survey bureau has the responsibility to find out the secrets under the reservoir.

"You are just the Geological Survey Bureau, not the Supernatural Survey Bureau!" The bus uncle's voice suddenly became cold, and his sudden emotional change suddenly startled Professor Liu, and even I felt a little dizzy in my heart. cold.

After a long time, Professor Liu finally nodded and said that I can promise you, what do you want to do now?
The bus uncle replied that he would immediately call the families of the deceased and ask them to get one of the shoes of the deceased and write their names and birthdays on each shoe.

After saying this, the bus uncle stopped talking. Professor Liu and I were stunned for a moment, saying that's it?

"What else can I do?"

After the bus uncle finished speaking, he stopped talking, and then asked Professor Liu to help us prepare a tent, where we will rest for one night.

That night, according to the instructions of the bus uncle, Professor Liu notified the family members of the deceased one by one, asked them for a shoe, and sent someone back to the city to pick it up, while the bus uncle and I stayed overnight in a tent one night.

In fact, I was very anxious all the time. We were led here by the female ghost to save Wang Feiyang, but when we came to the place shown in the photo, we didn't find the female ghost and Wang Feiyang at all.

At the beginning, I suggested to search in the village, but was rejected by the bus uncle. He meant to settle the matter here first, and then enter the village after these people leave, because if you go in now and encounter that female ghost, those I am afraid that all people will not be able to survive.

As for Wang Feiyang's life and death, we are no longer in our control. If the female ghost wants to kill him, even if we go in now, he won't survive. If you don't want to kill him, it doesn't matter if it's a day later.

When I was sleeping, I asked the bus uncle whether the people who died in the survey team had something to do with the people in Dongmen Village who jumped into the reservoir overnight 20 years ago. Does he know what secrets are hidden under the reservoir? ?
The bus uncle frowned and said that it might be related, not only that, but the ultimate goal of the female ghost might also have something to do with the secret under the reservoir!
I subconsciously glanced at the reservoir outside. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything, but my heart was trembling for a while, and I always felt a pair of eyes staring at me in the center of the reservoir.

At noon the next day, the person who was sent by Professor Liu to pick up the shoes came back with a black bag, which contained fourteen different styles of shoes, and each pair of shoes was marked with the deceased's name and date of birth!
So the bus uncle ordered them to put these shoes neatly on the embankment of the reservoir, and then he began to recite one by one according to the name and birthday written on the shoes.

After the recitation, the bus uncle recited a series of spells that we didn't understand, and finally he pointed to the center of the reservoir and shouted: "Han Lian! Get up and go home."

This Han Lian should be the name of one of the deceased. About a minute after the shout, there was a sound of exclamation from the reservoir. I was also dumbfounded at this moment, because it was in the middle of the reservoir. A white and swollen corpse was slowly floating up from the water, and then floated towards the shore.

The pot exploded on the embankment in an instant, and I couldn't believe that this scene was real. The corpse that they had spent so much effort and failed to salvage was actually picked up so easily by the bus uncle.

But the bus uncle didn't stop, and continued to shout the names of the dead, and then another corpse floated up from the bottom of the water, and then floated to the shore.

About ten minutes later, there were already eleven corpses floating on the water, and Professor Liu and the others began to order the people in their team to retrieve the corpses. Perhaps these people were too excited now, so they ignored a very crucial question .

These corpses have been dead for at least two months. It stands to reason that after soaking in the reservoir for such a long time, the body has long been eaten by fish and shrimp. If it is salvaged, there should be only one skeleton left, but now It seemed that apart from being swollen and pale, those corpses showed no signs of being eaten by fish and shrimp.

Facing the weird scene, I wanted to ask the bus uncle what was going on, but was stopped by his eyes.

In the end, all fourteen corpses were salvaged by the bus uncle in this way. Professor Liu and his team thanked us a lot, but the bus uncle said indifferently: "Since you have found the corpse, take it quickly With these corpses, get out of here!"

Unexpectedly, Professor Liu became hesitant at this time, apparently wanting to repent.

The bus uncle frowned, he saw what Professor Liu was thinking, and said, is it possible that you still don't want to leave?

"This matter is no small matter, so forgive me for breaking my promise, Liu. I am really grateful that you helped us retrieve the body, but the secrets under the reservoir, our survey bureau must find out!"

The bus uncle looked cold, and immediately lifted Professor Liu's collar, saying that if you don't want to die, you should leave here immediately. Do you know what happened here 20 years ago? Twenty years ago, just above this dam, more than 20 villagers from Dongmen Village were buried in this reservoir in groups.
