cloudy day

Chapter 16

My eyes were blurred with tears, I reached out to touch, and the figure of Mr. Jiang disappeared, only the pipe on the boat was still smoking.

I docked the boat on the bank of a deserted river. Although the ghost dragon king is the overlord in the water, it has a fatal weakness, that is, it cannot land on land.

After carrying the incorruptible female corpse to the shore, I knelt down in front of the Ruoshui River and kept kowtowing. Without Mr. Jiang's sacrifice and the protection of his soul just now, I could not have escaped this disaster at all.

I swear to Ruoshuihe that one day I will come back here again, bring back the body of Mr. Jiang, and kill that Ghost Dragon King with my own hands to avenge Mr. Jiang!
I kowtowed a few times and stood up weakly. Just when I was in grief and anger, an old lady's voice suddenly appeared behind me, "Young man, I didn't expect that you could really bring my daughter back."

I looked back in surprise, and the old lady surnamed Jin came out of the woods behind me without a sound, but I wasn't too surprised, because this was the agreed meeting place.

But what makes me wonder is why Grandma Jin didn't show any emotion when she saw her daughter's body. She was very sad when she was in front of us.

Also, isn't she surprised to see that the corpses of these 20 years have not decomposed at all?
"Young man, where are Mr. Jiang's people?" Grandma Jin looked around and asked curiously.

"Grandpa Jiang... he is dead." I said sadly.

Grandma Jin sighed, patted my shoulder, and comforted me, saying, "A dead person cannot be brought back to life, just like my daughter's. Her soul lingers on and her body does not rot. Until today, she can finally rest in peace."

"Grandma Jin, what happened to your daughter? Do you know why her body doesn't rot?" I asked in surprise.

"Alas, my daughter was abducted 23 years ago. She was sacrificed by ignorant villagers to be the wife of this monster in the water."

"This... this is too absurd. Is it because of the ghost dragon king that the corpse does not rot?"

"Yes, this monster has been guarding my daughter's side all day long. The Yin Qi has corroded the body, so that she will not rot for more than 20 years... Oh, my poor daughter." When Grandma Jin said this, she jumped up. Weeping loudly on the body of the female corpse.

After crying for a while, Grandma Jin's mood gradually calmed down. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, took my hand kindly, and expressed her gratitude to me.

She wrote me a check and added another 20 yuan, which was regarded as the funeral expenses and compensation for Mr. Jiang.

Grandma Jin said that someone would come to pick her up and take away the body for her, and let me go back to rest early. I nodded and walked towards Xihe Village with the 60 check.

Not far away, I heard Grandma Jin crying sadly behind me: "Daughter, mother will take you home now..."

I sighed, but at this moment, I vaguely heard a young woman's voice, as if saying: "Help me...help me..."

I turned my head quickly, and saw that female corpse's eyes seemed to be still looking at me...

Listening to corpse language, I can hear what the dead said. Why did that incorruptible female corpse say these three words to me?

I always felt that there was something strange about it. After walking a certain distance, I sneaked into the woods again, and tiptoed back to the corner where Grandma Jin couldn't see me.

I secretly observed one person and one corpse for a long time, but I didn't find anything unusual.

I was about to turn around and leave, but I suddenly recalled the weirdness just now. I stared closely behind Grandma Jin, and was shocked to find that the shackles behind her disappeared!

I recalled it carefully, it seemed that after the female corpse said the words "save me", the shackles behind Grandma Jin, which symbolized the yin and yang of life, disappeared.

The shortening of the shackles means that the person is about to die, but the shackles disappear, but the person is safe and sound, which I have never seen before.

From my childhood until now, I have only seen one kind of person without shackles, and that is the dead

What exactly is going on?I really can't figure it out.

But I know that this Grandma Jin is definitely not simple, she must have hidden secrets...

Thinking carefully, I was terrified, the more I thought about it, the more I felt scared, and I always felt that something bad would happen if I continued to stay here, so I quickly pulled away and left here gently.

But because of the panic in my heart, I accidentally stepped on a dry branch and made a crisp sound.

I trembled all over and quickened my pace, only to hear an old and strange sneer from behind me...
