Yellow River corpse hunter

Chapter 13
When I came back, it was already five o'clock in the morning.

My grandfather and my second uncle, each tacitly did not talk about this matter, but went back to sleep with each other.

With what happened before, I tossed and turned in bed for fear of falling into that terrible dream. I really didn't want to go back to Luohe again, but I had experienced too many things in the whole day, and my nerves were already at an extreme level. I don't know how long it took before I fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the village suddenly became lively.

But this kind of excitement is something that no one wants to meet.

The village head's wife hanged herself in her own home, and Qian Fangfang's body is still in the cemetery. A high price of 5 yuan was paid, and finally the corpse was simply cleaned up.

Luohe Village, which is relied on, has become completely restless.

And all of this seems to have completely changed since my grandfather's next job of picking up corpses.

The door of the Lin family was closed almost all day today, and no one came out.

By the time I stumbled up and walked out of the room, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Almost everyone in the Lin family lives in a large courtyard, so the courtyard is not small, and there are several stone tables inside, but at this moment, grandpa, second uncle, and even the third uncle who usually watches boats by the Luo River are also sitting in the courtyard .

Everyone smoked in silence, no one spoke, and the whole atmosphere was very depressing.

I walked out of the house, and my grandfather, second uncle, and third uncle all looked over.

Grandpa patted the stone bench beside him and signaled me to go over.

I nodded, but overnight, I found that not only my grandfather, but also my second uncle had a lot more gray hair, and his ecology was also very tired.

I sighed, and slowly walked to my grandfather and sat down.

"Grandpa, I..."

"Okay, Yangyang, you don't need to say anything, I know everything!" Grandpa silently took a puff of his cigarette.

Everyone lowered their heads.

I opened my mouth and didn't know what to say for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before Grandpa put down his cigarette pouch. He looked at me, at the second uncle, and at everyone: "Yangyang, it's all my fault. If I didn't agree to the village chief's search for the corpse, maybe there wouldn't be so many troubles. !"

"Grandpa, don't say that!" I said quickly
The second uncle and the third uncle also persuaded at this time: "That's right, you are the head of the family. Without you, we would not be able to do this business. It is our own decision to do this job!"

"That's right, that's right!" The other Lin family members also said immediately.

But grandpa still sighed, he took out an envelope from his yellow coat and put it on the table.

I was taken aback when I saw the envelope. Wasn't it given to grandpa by the village head at that time?

Grandpa directly refused to retrieve the corpse this time. The village head gave this thing, and grandpa agreed.

"Grandpa, what is this?" I pointed to the envelope on the stone table.

Grandpa opened it slowly, and took out a note and a few photos inside.

I vaguely saw a person in the photo, that person was my uncle, who died four years ago.

"Oh, it's all because of greed! Yangyang and the second and third, do you remember the eldest?" Grandpa tremblingly placed the photo on the stone table.

I was taken aback for a moment, and looked at my grandfather in surprise: "Grandpa, you mean uncle!"

"Head of the family, don't tell me you're picking up the corpse this time for your elder brother, but didn't your elder brother encounter a car accident when he went out to do business?" The second uncle looked at grandpa blankly.

The Lin family who were present are also very puzzled now. My uncle was smart and clever since he was a child, and he is also very good at calculating. Usually, the corpse-hunters are picked up by my grandfather, but my uncle has always been in charge of the accounts. A few years ago Uncle decided not to fish corpses with grandpa, but to go out to do business by himself. This is also expected, and grandpa also agrees very much. After all, the business of picking corpses is not a long-term solution, but it didn’t take long for my uncle’s word to come. According to the news of death, the cause of death was a car accident, and there was a large amount of compensation.

Everyone was very sad at that time, but no one doubted it, because there were still people here for the compensation, and the matter was over after everyone buried the uncle.

But now hearing Grandpa's tone, everyone feels that something is wrong. Is there any problem with the cause of Uncle's death?
Grandpa pointed to the table and motioned for us to look over.

Everyone came closer and found that the photo was actually a coffin, and the other photo was of grandpa and uncle, who used a boat to pull the coffin back.

"This!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all fell silent.

"This matter is too complicated to talk about. At the beginning, my boss and I were entrusted by a foreigner to retrieve the corpse. Unexpectedly, we found a coffin. When the boss went down the river, he also found a few pieces of jade and some other things around the coffin. Porcelain, I was also obsessed with ghosts at the time, so I pulled the coffin back with the boss, but we hardly went out of the village, and the farthest we went to the next town was, so we found the village head, and the boss came forward and we picked up the corpse. I took it and sold it for a sum of money, but I didn’t expect the boss to go crazy when he came back!” Grandpa’s hands trembled suddenly, and the hand holding the cigarette pouch trembled unconsciously.

I also have the second uncle and the third uncle, and they are all dumbfounded at the same time.

Never expected that there would be such a hidden secret.

"What happened to grandpa?" I continued to ask.

"I wanted to see the boss at the time, but the village chief stopped me. He told me that if the boss's madness was known to others, then sooner or later others would know about our fishing for coffins on the Luo River. So he sent the boss to a psychiatric hospital, and when I saw him again, he was already dead, but the photo of the village head this time told me that the boss is actually still alive!" Grandpa said these words .

He put the photo together with a note, then looked at me, and handed it directly to my hand.

I was a little surprised and didn't understand what grandpa meant.

The second uncle and the third uncle obviously haven't recovered yet, they were really surprised when they heard the news.

They hesitated for a moment, just about to speak.

Suddenly the door slammed, and there was a hasty knock on the door.

Grandpa frowned and asked directly, "Who?"

"Master Lin, it's me, Old Ghost Sun. I know you don't want to see me, but I beg you to open the door. I really don't know how to solve it. I beg you to show me a clear way!" The ghost begged.

When Grandpa heard this, he shook his head helplessly, but he still walked to the gate and opened it.

Old Ghost Sun was kneeling on the ground, and when he saw his grandfather opening the door and standing in front of him, he hurriedly stood up.

"Master Lin, I really don't know how to solve such a big mess, please help me this time, please!" Old Ghost Sun begged tremblingly.

Grandpa lifted Old Ghost Sun up and pulled him closer to the yard.

At this time, on the stone table, my grandfather, my second uncle, my third uncle, me, and Old Ghost Sun sitting across from me.

Old Ghost Sun's face was pale. He was clearly a middle-aged man in his 30s, but his hair was already a little gray.

"Master Lin, I really have no way to beg you. I have lost so many brothers, and now there are four or five brothers who are still alive and dead in the hospital. I also want to leave and ignore this matter, but now but now , I can't escape anymore!" Old Ghost Sun said with a painful expression on his face.

Grandpa didn't say anything, just rolled up his sleeves, and handed his wrist directly in front of Old Ghost Sun.

Old Ghost Sun was confused and didn't understand what this meant.

"Master Lin, you are..."

"This is a ghost handprint. If you go to see your brothers who had accidents in the cemetery, they have exactly the same thing on their wrists!" Grandpa said unhurriedly.

"Ah!" Hearing that, Old Ghost Sun stood up from the stool and took two steps back.

"I can't protect myself now. It's not that I won't help you, but that I can't help you. In this situation, you can only hire a Taoist priest. Qian Fangfang's corpse is very evil. My second child and I don't know yet. What do you want?" Grandpa finished these words to Old Ghost Sun silently.

Old Ghost Sun nodded his head with difficulty and left our house.

As soon as the front foot left here, grandpa took a look and said to the second and third uncles beside him: "Second and third, you follow, now a dead horse should be treated as a living horse doctor, things have come to this point, Let's see what Old Ghost Sun can do!"

"Okay!" The second uncle and the third uncle got up helplessly and walked out of the Lin family.

At this time, the grandfather nodded in relief after seeing the second uncle and the third uncle leave, picked up the water glass on the stone table, and just wanted to have a sip of water.

But suddenly, with a bang, the cup fell to the ground and shattered, and Grandpa threw himself forward and fell straight down.

"Grandpa?" I yelled in horror.

But Grandpa didn't respond once, and lay on the ground motionless.
