Yellow River corpse hunter

Chapter 1 Don't Fish for Pregnant Women
I'm Lin Yang, a professional corpse hunter.

The place where I live is called Luohe Village, because it is close to the Luohe River, so it is called Luohe Village.

The Luohe River is close to the Yellow River and belongs to a tributary of the Yellow River. The Yellow River has many names. It is one of the top ten rivers in the world and the second largest river in China. But among our local population, there is a name, that is, the Shi River.

Thousands of floating corpses appear in the Yellow River every year. Some of these floating corpses are washed into the Yellow River from other river basins, and some are thrown away because of suicide or murder. Due to the influence of the undercurrent, these corpses will be washed into the Luohe River. Every year, some people will come to our Luohe village to ask us to collect the corpses, and they will give us some rewards every time.

Over time, a brand new professional corpse hunter appeared in Luohe Village.

We are responsible for going to the Yellow River, or salvaging corpses washed up in the Luohe River. Corpse salvage is a brand-new industry, but after a long time, some rules have been born. When salvaging corpses, we usually use hooks Hooked to the floating corpse, and according to the rules of our corpse hunters, the corpse cannot be disposed of during the day, and it is disrespectful to the corpse to expose the corpse in the sun. Usually, it will be covered with a white cloth and then quietly transport the corpse back at night, so the corpse hunter also An alias Black Water Ghost was born!

In our Luohe Village, our Lin family is a family that specializes in corpse hunting. Grandpa is the backbone of our corpse hunting people, but as he gets older and older, his health is getting worse and worse, so I joined the team and became He is a member of the Corpse Collector, and the Corpse Collector is mainly divided into three drivers, and there are three power handles. A ship is responsible for finding the body.

And I am in this corpse-hunting team, and I am mainly responsible for the driver's work.

That night, my grandfather told me some rules about the corpse hunters all night. I was clever since I was a child, and I understood it once.

In the morning, our village head came to our Ye family.

I thought they were looking for something from our family, but I didn't expect the village chief to ask us to retrieve the corpse.

My heart tightened, and I didn't understand why the village head came to find my grandfather's corpse. Could it be that someone from his family jumped into the river?
At that time, I was hiding under the window, leaning on the window sill to look in. The village head just said that I would ask my grandfather to retrieve the corpse. My grandfather refused at that time. He was still a little emotional and said nothing.

I was instantly confused. Although my grandfather was taciturn, he was recognized as a good person in the village. Once a child in the village fell into the Luo River and was washed away. The parents gave up. My grandfather didn’t ask for a penny. Several uncles searched for three days and three nights, and they actually found the child, and he was still alive. Now the village chief himself came here to ask my grandpa to retrieve the corpse, and the grandpa refused.

Seeing my grandpa insisting on refusing to retrieve the corpse, the village chief took out an envelope from nowhere. Grandpa was dumbfounded at the time and immediately agreed directly.

Now I was even more curious, but before I could think of a general idea, they had already finished talking. I quickly ran from the windowsill to my room, and watched the village chief leave through the crack of the door.

Grandpa also walked out of the house, his face was a little strange, obviously because he was worried about the village head just now, he swept the yard and started shouting: "Everyone come out for me, there is a big job, no matter what Come out to me whether it is a corpse or not!"

Bang bang bang, the sound of the door opening a few times, it is morning, many people are still a little confused, but they came out when they saw grandpa yelling, I also walked out of my room silently, moved a small bench and sat down In the original place, there were more than ten members of the Lin family. This time they all came out when they heard Grandpa's shouts. In the small courtyard, it is basically crowded with people.

Grandpa silently put the cigarette pouch on the stone bench at hand, glanced at the Lin family present, and said directly: "I see that everyone is here, so I just wanted to discuss something with you. The village chief just came to our house. His daughter can't think of jumping into the Luo River!"

"What? The village chief's daughter died?" The second uncle was a little surprised.

The rest of the Lin family around were also dumbfounded when they heard what grandpa said, and they froze in place for an instant.

When I heard these words, I stood up immediately. It turned out that the person who died in the village chief's family just now was his daughter Qian Fangfang.

In our village, Qian Fangfang, the daughter of the village chief, has always been the village flower of the village. , I couldn't react for a while.

Grandpa stood in front of us, saw everyone's reaction, nodded slightly and continued: "Yes, it's the village chief's daughter, and this time things are a bit complicated, I don't want to hide it from everyone, the village chief's daughter is big We have a rule that pregnant women are not allowed to fish for belly jumping, so if you want to follow this time, you can follow, and if you don’t want to follow, you don’t have to go, I will never force you!”

"Master, you said you're pregnant... Pregnant woman!" The second uncle's face turned pale instantly.

There was an instant deathly silence in the yard.

Many Lin family members, when they heard the word "pregnant woman", they seemed to see something scary, their faces were ugly, and they stopped talking.

I was sitting in the crowd, and seeing everyone's reactions, I was very puzzled. Isn't a pregnant woman a pregnant woman, and jumping into the river is also a dead body?

But seeing everyone's reactions, I realized that something was wrong, so I stood up and looked at the grandpa in front of me: "Grandpa, why can't pregnant women fish?"

When the second uncle heard this, he dragged me over and gave me a hard look: "My lord is talking, what are your children asking?"

"I..." I looked helpless.

Grandpa didn't blame me, he waved his hand directly: "Okay, second child, I just told Yangyang some rules about corpse hunters last night, it's normal for him not to understand! Since you asked Yangyang, I'll tell you, people have At the end of life, there are also deaths by accident, but in any sudden accident, such as being hit by a car, or being killed by someone, or committing suicide by oneself, the corpse has resentment, and all the corpses picked up by our corpse hunters are dead. Corpses, corpses already have grievances, and unborn children are the most powerful kind of grievances. It is impossible for us to deal with corpses without believing in some evil things. kill people!"

After the grandfather finished speaking, he picked up the cigarette pouch next to him and took a deep breath.

When everyone heard my grandfather say this, their faces became even more ugly.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling cold all the time, and suddenly asked my grandpa again: "Grandpa, according to what you said, will the corpse come back to life?"

"Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about?" The second uncle shouted.

I realized instantly that I had said something I shouldn't have said, and backed away again and again.

But grandpa was smoking silently, did he acquiesce?

"The head of the family, you are not afraid, what am I afraid of!" The second uncle was the first to stand up and said to grandpa.

Everyone responded in an instant, and also took a step forward to express their views directly.

"That's right, it's just to get a pregnant girl, what else can happen!"

"Now these are feudal superstitions, what are we afraid of?"

Grandpa nodded when he saw this scene. He turned his head and looked at the second uncle beside him and said directly, "Second brother, how many boats do we have?"

"Master, we have five boats, what do you mean?" The second uncle looked at Grandpa.

Grandpa took a deep sip of the pipe, and said to the second uncle: "This time, we will all set off. Those who don't know how to pick up dead bodies will be the drivers, and those who can't pick up dead bodies will be the leaders!"

"Okay!" The second uncle agreed.

After hearing what Grandpa said, the other uncles went directly to the side room and started to take the poles specially used for picking up corpses, and the rest of them also started to prepare some things.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen Lin family members stood by the Luo River.

But it's strange to say that the weather is now in August and September, and it's not yet the cold season, but there is a layer of faint white mist on the Luohe River today, but it's not serious, but in my memory, even if the Luohe River is big There is no white mist in winter, why suddenly there is white mist today, is this a sign of something?
