As Lin Jianguo told me, I realized that the focus was on that tidal flat, which was exposed after an inexplicable change of course of the Yellow River.

"The diversion of the Yellow River has always been a disaster, but that diversion was so silent that even the people in our village didn't notice it after several days." Lin Jianguo said lightly.

I don’t understand what kind of disaster it would be to change the course of the Yellow River, but it’s terrifying to think about it. How many innocent people will be drowned by the inexplicable change of course? Speaking of this silent and small deviation of the river course, is this a coincidence or is it a coincidence?

What does heaven mean?

I had no way of guessing what the truth was at that time. I was just curious about why the people in the village didn't notice that the Yellow River flowing around them day and night had changed its course for several days.

But without me asking, Lin Jianguo had a strange expression on his face, then rubbed his nose and continued: "Most people will be curious about why it took people in our village a long time to discover that the Yellow River had changed its course.

In fact, the area where the tidal flat where the diversion is located has been problematic."

"You mean the location of the altar? The backwater bay?" I finally couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, before the tidal flat was exposed, the backwater bay was even bigger, but do you know where the backwater bay was in the past and present, right? There are many innocent souls on the Yellow River, and many people are buried in the Yellow River every year.

, the backwater bay is usually a place where dead bodies gather. Such a huge backwater bay, the village

People in the house occasionally pass by there and almost always find floating corpses. There are also professional corpse collectors who have been active in that area for a long time. But, do you know? If you want to go there to collect corpses, the price given by your family will definitely be different.

It will be several times the usual price." Lin Jianguo said to me seriously.

"Why?" I asked this question almost subconsciously, although I already had some guesses as to why.

"Because people and boats often go missing in the backwater bay, and they are unable to get out for no apparent reason. This kind of thing happens almost once or twice every few years. Therefore, if the body fishermen are active in this area, they will naturally collect more.

Several times the price." Lin Jianguo gave me a thoughtful look.

But I already understood and said: "The so-called inability to get out is because we took the same road and this happened?"

"Probably so? Or can we walk on this waterway over and over again forever? I'm not sure about the situation. Not everyone can reach the end point. Once you reach it, it will be a dead end." Lin Jianguo's tone was serious.

Some sadness.

Such a simple sentence makes me feel extremely terrifying when I think about it carefully. Will it be repeated forever? I experienced the despair just now. What makes people even more desperate is that judging from Lin Jianguo's tone, the end point is not a good place either.

It is absolutely impossible to go back to a familiar place.

Looking at my expression, Lin Jianguo sighed softly and continued: "It is a place like this where people and boats often go missing. People in the village think that these people have been eaten by the ghosts that gather in Huishui Bay.

So if it was not necessary, I would definitely not take that secret passage to where the backwater bay is, which is why it took people in the village a long time to discover that a tidal flat was exposed there."

"Hasn't it been discovered by other people? For example, the corpse collector?" I asked.

"Money is more important? Or is life more important? After what happened there for decades, how many people do you think will take the risk? Even though this is a relatively remote place on the Yellow River, something like this happened again.

The place where our village is located is getting quieter and quieter." Lin Jianguo explained.

sentence, and then continued: "It was a coincidence that we found that tidal flat. It was because a certain person in the village went to a certain place in order to take a shortcut. That place said there were good things, and he wanted to get ahead of others.

It was discovered that the course of the Yellow River had shifted slightly, exposing such a tidal flat."

"This discovery made the man extremely frightened, and he immediately turned around and returned to the village. Don't think this is an exaggeration. People who depend on the Yellow River for food and live on the Yellow River are extremely reverent to the river god, so this little bit

A small deviation will subconsciously be regarded as a warning from the river god.

!You know, the reason why our village has been passed down for so long and has lived so carefree is because our village is secretly like a paradise. It cares about this kind of warning even more, fearing that the river god will flood our village if he gets angry.

Where." Lin Jianguo continued.

And I nodded, no joke. The superstitious awe of these people exists everywhere in the land of China. No matter whether this awe is absurd or not, you have to admit that only those who have awe will have inner peace.

Once the restraint of the human heart is lost, the horror is unimaginable.

"So, when that person passed the news back to the village, the village's senior officials decided to mobilize the whole village to hold a large-scale sacrifice to honor the river god." When Lin Jianguo said this, his expression showed a trace of pain, but

He quickly put away this emotion and continued: "At that time, I was already born, and I was still a child. If there were no accidents, I would have become a village robber robbing tombs on the Yellow River, but accidents happened.

Already."

"How did that happen?" I couldn't imagine that a sacrifice could lead to an amazing accident.

"Remember that capable man I told you before? That man is the mayor of our village. He has a pair of very vicious eyes. He can see the difference at a glance even though others cannot see the clues.

, what he judged about the things under the river surface and the things under the tidal flats would basically not go unnoticed. He said that he himself

I don’t know much about the Kung Fu and the like, but that day I followed the people in the village to the beach to prepare sacrifices. When I saw him, he was extremely excited. He was as excited as crazy. He told us all

People in the village, exposing this tidal flat is not a warning from the river god, but a favor and reward from the river god to us."

Lin Jianguo did not specifically describe the situation at that time, but only described it in a few words. But I seemed to be able to see the excitement of the so-called village chief, and at the same time I was shocked. When I looked up, I was not traveling with Chengzhen, but I had never heard of Chengzhen.

If you really have this ability, you can spot the ancient tomb master underwater at a glance. Is this what you mean among the people?

"In short, the result is that the village chief told us with great certainty that there are amazing good things hidden under the tidal flat, so we have to dig up that tidal flat. Everyone in the village has a share, because of the reward from the river god,

You can't get it alone. I still remember that the village chief was very excited and said that if we were lucky, the things under the tidal flats would keep our whole village happy for many years." At this point, Lin Jianguo smiled bitterly.

.

"What's the result? What was dug up?" I couldn't help but ask.

"What was dug up?" Lin Jianguo frowned slightly, then tapped the table of the short table with his fingers. After a long silence, he said: "The village chief was right. We quickly used special methods to dig in the tidal flats.

I came out of a tomb passage, and after going down, I didn’t know whose tomb it was. In short, the burials inside were very rich and very weird. I was still a child at that time, so I was not qualified to participate.

to the specific excavation. Anyway, I remember that at that time, the people in the village were shocked by everything in the tomb, because there were so many weird places. My parents were still there at that time, and I remember that they went home.

, I told you at the beginning what was going on in the tomb, but then I became tight-lipped about it, so I’m not very specific about what I know. I know that it was the last thing dug out that overturned everything.”

"What was dug up in the end?" I think this story is extremely complicated, and I don't even know how this matter is connected with Lin Jianguo's son.

"It was something hidden under the coffin. I only discovered it after pushing the coffin open. I have never seen that thing. I just heard that it was a gossip-type box." Lin Jianguo told me.

Box? I couldn't help but have a puzzled expression on my face. It was obvious that I had been deeply attracted by this magical past.

"It's probably just a box. In short, the tomb was very magical. It was filled with all kinds of runes that people in our village couldn't see. The box was even more tightly protected. It is said that there were stickers on the bottom of the coffin at that time.

It is full of various talismans, and there is a piece of jade inlaid on the box. According to experienced people, it is a jade talisman. In fact, I don’t know the details." Lin Jianguo looked at me apologetically.

Jade? I don’t know why, but I had a bad feeling in my heart when I heard this.
