I said, "What they have in common is that everyone has ghost paw prints."
"Ghost claw?" Everyone was surprised. I said, "It’s just that the black scratches are like human handprints, but they are definitely not human handprints. Look at these bodies. They have ankles, wrists, waist and thighs. No matter where they are, no matter the color, everyone must have one!"
As soon as my voice just fell, someone exclaimed, "Look, it’s all there! Good egg, thigh root, sheep baby neck, dog calf! Both! "
"Xiaoqiang has one ankle for everyone’s wrist and baby’s ankle!"
"Oh, my God, are these all those ghost claws?"
"It turned out that ghosts really dragged people to drown?"
"I would have said that there is a drowning ghost in this river and you don’t believe it! Look at this print! It’s that drowning ghosts are too strong when they drag people into the water! "
“……”
The villagers talked a lot, and I didn’t explain it. Uncle De had already said, "Did anyone die before this river?"
The villagers shook their heads and said, "Except this period, in recent years, it seems that no one has drowned."
Village head Liu asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by being a powerful person?"
Uncle De said, "Great people are pregnant women, children and the elderly. If these people drown in the river, it will be terrible! Do you think these people have ever drowned? Especially the old man’s wife! "
The villagers thought for a while and shook their heads. "Which daughter-in-law is pregnant and won’t walk by the river, and the old man’s wife won’t walk by the river and drown in front of the children. Are these children ghosts?"
Uncle De shook his head and said, "I found a wife at the bottom of the river, but I haven’t found a child yet. That means it’s not the child monster who drowned before, but the wife. Think about it carefully. Is there really no wife drowned in the river and the body hasn’t been salvaged?"
"No …" They all shook their heads.
"hey!" Village head Liu suddenly clapped his thigh and shouted, "I remember the five-guarantee Wang Po in the former village. Do you still remember it?"
"Didn’t she lose it long ago?" Someone replied.
"It is said that it is lost!" Village head Liu said, "What if she drowned in this river? She has no children, no daughters, no relatives, and a widowed wife drowned in this river. Who knows? "
The villagers are silent, apparently all acquiesced in the words of village head Liu.
I quickly asked, "Does that Wang Po have a wrinkled face and small eyes, and his mouth and arms are as dry as a stick?"
"Yes, yes!" Liu Cunchang nodding way "that’s her! My face is dry, my skin is thin, my eyes are thin and my mouth is stiff! Does Mr. Chen know? "
"I don’t know her," I said with a lingering fear. "I saw her when I was drowning in the front water, right here in the river."
When the villagers heard this, their faces changed and they couldn’t help rubbing their feet to get farther away from the river.
Uncle De sighed, "No one knows that there must be a lot of resentment when the five-guarantee widowed old man drowned in the river. Plus, no one can accept the body and be buried. After death, he will become a lonely ghost. It is not surprising that Liu Cunchang made waves in this river. When did this Wang Po disappear?"
Village head Liu mused, "Three years ago. I can’t remember exactly when. It’s been a long time anyway."
"Three years ago?" Uncle De was taken aback and said, "He disappeared at that time and drowned in the river at that time. How can he harm people until now?"
Village head Liu said, "What do you mean?"
Uncle De said, "If you have resentment before life and want to harm people after death, you will show it soon after death. It is impossible to delay it until three years later and it is so violent! What has it done in these years? "
I also said, "Yes, if a ghost wants to harm people, it will do harm to people, especially the newly drowned ghost. Because she didn’t know she was dead after drowning, she would still be alive, but she was trapped in the water and couldn’t get out. She especially wanted someone to save her, so the new ghost would try to lure people to the river, and then drag the living not to throw them straight and the living were drowned in the river. This is what ordinary people call drowning ghosts looking for body double. They are not looking for body double, but they are still alive and looking for help. This Wang Po didn’t harm people and suddenly killed so many people after three years What is this? "
The villagers are at a loss. Even Uncle De and I don’t know. How can they know?
Uncle De and I don’t want to ask them. They are just talking to themselves about their own doubts.
Uncle De added, "What’s more worrying is that after Wang Po killed someone, he left the body in water so that no one could find it. What is this?"
I said, "I can’t remember the evil chapter of Yishan Gonglu. The dead can’t bury the ghosts for seven days, and they can’t turn over their resentment and anger. It will be a great thing! If the bodies of these drowned people can’t be found and buried for seven days, they will become spectres and follow suit. This Wang Po killed so many people and hid the bodies in water to harm more people. Isn’t that why I got caught? I saw a group of ghosts swimming at noon … "
"Don’t harm people three years ago, and then intensify efforts to harm people three years later. There is no article in this!" Uncle De asked, "Do you still have the information about Wang Po mouth of Village Chief Liu in your village?"
Village head Liu said, "There should be Mr. Chen. I’ll get it for you if you need it!"
"I need it!" Uncle DE corners of the mouth muscles a smoke a smoke way "before you go to check for me! With her information, I can look up her birthday words. If I find her birthday words, I can draw her out! At that time, if she can cross over, she will cross over. If she is a good person in the afterlife, if she is vicious or bent on harm, Zheng and I will kill her and do justice for heaven! "
Chapter 42 Iron Mouth makes everything special from the scene
Village head Liu came back from the village Committee soon and also brought Wang Po information. The information in Wang Po showed that her name was Wang Guie when she was born on September 23, 1927.
Village head Liu looked at Uncle De eagerly. "Is this a miss?"
Uncle De shook his head. "It’s not accurate to the time of birth at this time. Is this enough? Let’s find some old people to ask if you know Wang Guie."
Liu Cunchang said, "There are still a few 70-year-old grandfathers and old women in the village who just can’t be familiar with Wang Guie."
"Let’s ask," Uncle De said. "It must be done before six o’clock in the afternoon. At that time, I will use my physiognomy. It will be bad after the hour."
It’s already past four o’clock in the afternoon, and time waits for no man.
So we took urgent action. Liu Cunchang asked several villagers to find the old people in the village separately, and asked Uncle De one by one. He also arranged for Liu Cunchang to arrange and display the tools needed for physiognomy, which were nothing more than incense burners, incense sticks, bills, futons, cinnabar, paper mounting and writing brushes, and carried them to the river bank.
Uncle De also said to me, "Wang Guie fell into the water and the dead body is difficult without this. Because the word of birth is not the most accurate information about the dead, there are too many people with the same name in the world, and there are too many people born at the same time on the same day of the same year. Only in this way can we ensure that the bones of the dead are assisted."
"What shall we do?" I asked, "Will the river look for Wang Guie’s body again?"
Uncle De shook his head and said, "That’s unrealistic for three years. I can’t find my eyes for a while. I hope that there are no strangers with the same name and surname as Wang Guie around here, but even so, I have to be prepared for bad things. There may be a risk of failure when I perform surgery. You may be bitten by yourself. Help me. bring up the rear must play well when you need it."
"in!"
Ask Wang Guie for information soon. Several villagers will come to report the situation. There are more than a dozen old people in the village who are about the same age as Wang Guie. They all ask one by one, but no one knows when Wang Guie was born.
Everyone was at a loss. I suddenly had a brainwave and asked Liu Cunchang, "Did Wang Guie have her own room before her death?"
Liu Cunchang wanted to think and said, "It’s just a piece of soil, and it’s ruined in front of the westernmost village. Now it’s estimated to be even worse."
I said, "Then please ask Village Chief Liu to lead the way. Let’s go to her room and see if we can find any valuable clues."
When village chief Liu led the way, Uncle De and I followed a large group of villagers behind us, leaving a few people to guard the bodies by the river. Uncle De also told them that they didn’t need water about what happened, what strange things they saw and what strange sounds they heard.
The reason why the bodies are not removed first is that the souls of these dead people are still trapped in the river by Wang Po. It is necessary to solve Wang Po first, then cross over the dead, and finally bury these people properly.
Otherwise, these people will die miserably, and too much resentment will be a disaster.
Wang Guie’s adobe house has almost collapsed, and the roof has rotted hole after hole, and the doors and windows have decayed. Uncle De and I carefully drilled in and pulled around to see if we could find anything valuable.
There is a broken wooden board in the adobe room. It is bad for the bedding to rot when touched. I collapsed as soon as I pressed the bed and a big black crock was exposed.
I quickly dragged the black crock out, and Uncle De joined us. We knocked on the lid of the crock and poured out everything inside, including a jewelry box, a cloth bag, a wooden comb, a small mirror, an old handkerchief and some neatly folded papers.
I went to see the pile of paper first, but I found that it was written on the face of the village, how much subsidy was given to Wang Guie of the Five Guarantees on a certain day, and Wang Guie pressed her handprint … These are no receipts.
I rolled my handkerchief again, and a few pieces of paper fell out of it, all of which were a dime.
Is it? No.
Uncle De picked up the cloth bag and looked inside. "There is a strand of hair in it, which should be Wang Guie himself!" Body hair and skin are all as effective as parents! We don’t have her bones to make this hair big! "
I took a look at the jewelry box and then I also said, "It’s in the word" Uncle De Wang Gui ‘e’s birthday "!"
On a piece of yellow paper, there is a line written by mistake: "Wang Guie Ding Mao was born on the first day of Geng Shen, the first day of Geng Chen."
"That’s enough!" Uncle De was overjoyed and said, "You can’t find a place without time! Zheng, you are really a lucky general! Let’s go! "
Back to the river bank, the surgical tools have all been arranged. Uncle De asked the villagers to set up the bills according to their directions, burn incense burners and pray for heaven and earth to clean their hands and clean their faces.
He also found white paper, cinnabar and a writing brush to burn Wang Guie’s hair, mixed ashes with river water and mud in cinnabar, and then dipped the writing brush in dyed paper to write Wang Guie’s name and birthday.
All the preparations have been made, and Uncle De told Liu Cunchang to "tell the neighbors to stand back three feet away from each other or it will disrupt the ceremony."
