The 196th chapter of the Yangtze River corpse (1)

There are many industries in this world. As the saying goes, every industry will be top students. But today, I guess many people have never heard of the industry I want to talk about. Even if I have heard of it, I still feel it is very mysterious.

That is, the corpse-hardker.

On the Yangtze River, the corpse-fishing craftsman.

...

Yangtze.

The Yangtze River originates from the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The main stream flows through 11 provinces and flows into the East China Sea east of Chongming Island in Shanghai. It has a total length of 6,387 kilometers. It is second only to the Nile River in Africa and the Amazon River in South America in the world, ranking third in the world.

With such a long span, there have been many mysterious legends about the Yangtze River that have been circulated throughout the ages.

It is said that there was once a big bird in the Three Gorges Basin in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, with a wingspan of hundreds of meters. When it flies, it covers the sky and shadows. This bird is called Dawu, and falls like a mountain, with bare legs of 10 or 20 feet high. It likes to catch a strange fish in the Yangtze River. The strange fish is like a small whale, more than ten meters long and black.

But often Dawu would take away the humans living along the coast and eat them as snacks.

Humans were unable to bear the trouble. Under the leadership of a wise man in the Three Gorges, they gathered hundreds of tribes and spent fifty years to finally find the nest of Dawu. Humans could not kill Dawu, but they found Dawu's bird eggs in the nest.

The bird egg is twenty meters long and three people are as tall as three.

The wise man ordered everyone to take out tools and break the bird egg.

But the bird egg was strange. It grew when the wind grew, and became bigger when it was attacked, and it instantly looked like a mountain. The wise man was anxious and cut wood to burn the mountain. Finally, the hard shell of the bird egg was burned. He then knocked it with a tool, and the bird egg broke and the egg white and yolk flowed into the Yangtze River.

The originally clear Yangtze River water has become polluted and has become muddy, and from then on, it is no longer as clear as before.

Dawu finally left in sorrow because he lost his bird egg.

There is another legend that there is a dragon locked under the Yangtze River. The dragon harms one side and turns in the water. Whenever a fishing boat is fishing on the river, the dragon will overturn the fishing boat, tilt its head and chew it, and swallow the fisherman who fell into the water into the stomach.

The fishermen were extremely afraid and dared not enter the Yangtze River to fish again.

Until thousands of years ago, a master of enlightenment passed by, he subdued the evil dragon, locked the evil dragon under the Yangtze River with nine copper chains. He also cast thirteen tokens with gold, each of which was different. But without exception, the tokens were carved with complex patterns, which looked very beautiful.

The Taoist left a verbal order saying that these thirteen tokens must not be dug out from the bottom of the Yangtze River to see the light, otherwise not only those who dug the tokens will suffer disaster. The evil dragon will also break free from the seal and continue to do evil in the world.

The Yangtze River has a long waterway and a wide waterway. As one of the two main rivers that are the birthplace of civilization, there have been too many evil things happening in the Yangtze River, one of the two main rivers that are born in the civilization. There are even more folk stories that cannot be studied.

For example, the various water monsters in the river, the King of Golden Sands, the Dragon King of Iron Coffin, and the mysterious creatures such as giant turtles, turtles, and walking dragons.

Who can tell whether it is true or false?

As for the beginning of the whole thing, when I think about it carefully, I still have to start with the corpse fishing craftsman in the Yangtze River.

It is not uncommon for corpse fishers. As long as there are big rivers, such a profession will be born. Because people are instinctively, they have lived by water since ancient times. As the saying goes, relying on mountains and water to eat water. People who rely on rivers will naturally find ways to survive on the rivers.

If you walk too much at night, you will meet a ghost. Moreover, there are more people looking for food in the river, and it is natural that there will be many boats and water. Therefore, in ancient times, in the Yangtze River Basin, especially in the Three Gorges area, corpse fishermen usually used to pick up fibers on both sides of the river. These boaters were bound to earn some external water to supplement their household income.

But the modern economy has grown, and the job of a boatman has disappeared. However, the business of corpse hunters has improved, and many companies on both sides of the Yangtze River have even turned it into their main business.

Why?

More and more people die in the Yangtze River. Some people suffer from love breakups, some suffer from economic pressure, and some suffer from depression.

In the end, they all went into the river.

Behind every suicide, there are several sad families. The Chinese people pay attention to being in peace, and they must see people and corpses when they live. The ghosts who fall into the water must also go ashore, so that their families can be at peace.

This directly gave rise to the professionalization of the Yangtze River corpse fisherman.

The Chongcheng is located on the Yangtze River and is an important inland town with a population of nearly 30 million. Gong Quan and Wen Zhuwu belong to the Yangtze River Yanshi salvage company.

The day before yesterday, the company received a commission. After the investigation and exploration, the company thought it was not difficult, so it only sent these two people and a boat to Makougou.

The two of them took a boat out of the river early in the morning, and the water vapor raised from the speedboat kept hitting their faces.

Gong Quan, who was nearly forty-five, was dark all over. He smelled the water vapor on the Yangtze River and looked at the sky again.

"The weather is good today, and there is no cloud. It probably won't rain." Wen Zhu was in his fifties and twenty years old, and looked up at the sky with a smile.

Gong Quan shook his head: "Zhu Wu, you are still too young. The weather on the Yangtze River changes as soon as possible. The sun may be shining brightly just now, and a rain cloud will float to you, knocking you into a chicken. But what is the weather? The water in the Yangtze River waterway is the most evil and unpredictable."

"Brother Quan, I'm afraid of a shovel with you as an old profession." Wen Zhuwu took out his ears indifferently. As a young man, he really didn't like the preaching of middle-aged people.

What's more, he has a professional diving certificate. He hasn't dived in the country's big rivers? The Yangtze River waterway is a ball.

Gong Quan also knew that young people didn’t like to listen to these things, so he smiled and talked about the new order the company received a few days ago: “Have you read the information for today’s task?”

"I looked at it. When a young girl was riding the Jiashi cruise ship, she didn't know what disease she had, so she suddenly jumped off the rooftop of the cruise ship." Wen Zhuwu said: "Our company judged that the girl's body should be dragged into the undercurrent along the Yangtze River. In the end, the body would sank into the bottom of the river in front of the soul chasing in Makougou. We just need to search for the entire soul chasing, and we should be able to find the body."

Seeing that Gong Quan's face was not very good, Wen Zhuwu asked: "Brother Quan, you don't seem to be very happy. It is obvious that the way of life this time should be relatively simple."

Gong Quan shook his head: "Zhu Wu, you don't know. The land of Makougou is very evil. Strange things happen often."

"Really?" Wen Zhuwu suddenly became interested: "For example, what happened?"
