Crunch...

Walking onto the trestle, the wooden boards above made an overwhelming sound, as if they might break at any time.

The fog that had dissipated before began to condense again. Before we knew it, the visibility around was only less than five meters.

Chen Chong even felt that he was not on the pier, but in a hazy fairyland.

Fortunately, the figure at the bridgehead is still there, and the small wooden boat with lanterns is also there.

The man turned his head after hearing the sound. He was a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of face. His eyes were not clear and lonely. "Hey, why are there people here wandering around at night? Young man, go back, it's dark and it's very dangerous if you fall into the water."

Chen Chong smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's okay, I just look around."

The middle-aged man shook his head and stopped talking, and continued to look at the riverside boredly.

Seeing this, Chen Chong didn't mind. After approaching the other party, he quickly dissipated a cigarette.

"Thank you, I won't smoke for the time being." The middle-aged man blocked the lighter handed over.

Kiss...

"Oh, you have such a special pet." Chen Chong didn't mind, and smiled and pointed at the big red rooster in the other party's arms.

Although it is a big red rooster, it is not pure red, but the proportion of red feathers is higher.

"There is no way, I have to raise it." The middle-aged man seemed to not like to laugh, and even his speech was very concise.

"Why?" Chen Chong raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, "You still don't know, so as not to be scared."

"Is that right?" Chen Chong also sat next to him like the other person, with his legs hanging on the water. "Uncle, I have no characteristics, I am just brave."

"Haha, I've seen too many people who claim to be brave." The middle-aged man looked at Chen Chong with a calm look, "but they all looked the same after death."

Hearing this, Chen Chong's mouth twitched, and he was speechless.

As if worried that he would misunderstand, the middle-aged man added: "Sorry, I didn't mean to target you, it's just that I've salvaged too many corpses on this river."

"The corpse-hunter?"

"It seems you know a lot." The middle-aged man was a little surprised.

"I just heard of it, and I can't say the word 'understanding' at all." Chen Chong shook his head and said, "Uncle, can you tell me the story of the corpse-catching man? I'm very curious."

"What story can a corpse fisherman have? It's just a matter of who's life." The middle-aged man laughed at himself.

Chen Chong was stunned, "Who can I compare with?"

"Corpsy."

"What?" Chen Chong's hand holding the smoky trembled hard.

"Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?" The middle-aged man suddenly chuckled.

"Maybe, there is," Chen Chong shrugged. Not to mention his past experience, he had a 'date' with a ghost tonight, so he naturally believed it.

"Strange, you didn't change your face." The middle-aged man became a little interested, "Maybe, you have the qualities of becoming a corpse hunter."

"Oh? Is there any requirement to become a corpse fisherman?" Chen Chong was stunned.

"Of course." The middle-aged man touched the big red rooster in his arms. "The corpse-fishing man is also called a water ghost, which is similar to the Sky Burial Master's corpse-carrying man, and it is related to the dead. However, the Sky Burial Master and the corpse-carrying man guard the corpse, while we deal with the 'death', that is, the corpse floating on the water. If you want to become a corpse-carrying man, you must have the numerology of the yin and the five elements of the water. These are two necessary conditions. Only in this way can you be hard enough. When you 'walk' on the water, you will not be pulled into the water by the dead souls under the water."

"This is too mysterious." Chen Chong refused to comment.

When talking about his profession, the middle-aged man obviously became a little interested and talked too much. "It's quite mysterious. I didn't believe it before I became a corpse-catching man. Until there were more and more strange things, I gradually believed it."

"What about?" Chen Chong asked.

He admired the real corpse-catching man in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and admired the other party's psychological quality and courage. How to say it, after all, those who died in the water will not be able to see where they are!

You should know that the density of the human body is similar to that of water. After the corpse sinks to the bottom of the water, as the corpse corrupts, the body begins to bloat. After the corpse gas forms, the person will turn into a big-headed ghost with a hideous face and a turn of lips. As the corpse gas increases, the corpse will gradually surface.

"Do you know the meaning of 'men leaning against women'?" The middle-aged man did not rush to answer, but asked back.

Chen shook his head, of course he didn't know.

"Because the pelvic structures of women and men are different, after their death, the male corpse is leaning on the water, while the female corpse is leaning upward." The middle-aged man looked at Chen Chong more and then raised an unknown smile on the corner of his mouth, "But do you know? There is another kind of person who neither leans over nor leans on his back."

Eunuch?

This thought only flashed through Chen Chong's mind, then threw it behind and asked seriously: "Which type?"

"Sha!"

"What?"

The conversation between the two people was completely inconsistent, but because of the similar sounds, the middle-aged man did not hear any difference and continued: "Yes, we have three taboos for corpse fishing people. If we commit any of them, we will die! And this 'sha' is one of them."

Chen Chong's skin had goose bumps at some point, and his neck felt chill. It seemed that some unknown secrets were being revealed. However, the four words "Three Taboos" appeared in the task prompts, so he gritted the bullet and asked.

"What is evil?"

"After some people die in the water, their bodies will only have a bunch of heads floating on the water surface, and their entire bodies will stand upright under the water. Even their appearance will not change much from the time they die. Not only that, as the water waves slowly move forward, these upright bodies will follow, just like walking. This is evil!"

At this point, the middle-aged man paused for a moment and continued: "If you see such a phenomenon, don't try to salvage it. Don't look at it as far as you go."

“Why?”

"Because we are just taking out corpses on behalf of others, not seeking justice on behalf of ghosts! Their resentment is too heavy!"

"What about the other two?" Chen Chong shivered suddenly.

"The second type is rainy. This kind of weather has its own yin energy and is in line with the corpse. No matter how hard the life is, it is still dangerous. As for the third type, if the same corpse is not caught three times, it cannot be regained again. According to legend, if such people have not fulfilled their wishes, they will be plagued by evil spirits by force. Of course, in addition to these three taboos, ordinary corpses cannot be regained randomly, otherwise there will be bad things."

After the words came, the middle-aged man stared at Chen Chong's eyes, obviously trying to observe the latter's eyes fluctuations, such as fear and fear.

However, what surprised him was that no matter how he looked, there was only one emotion in the other person's eyes, that was solemnity.

"How should I get it?" This question is related to the difficult tasks in the future, and Chen Chong had to break the casserole to ask the final question.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man was not as cold as he appeared, so he said directly: "There are indeed some special methods. For example, after fishing, the family members of the deceased must invite us to have dinner at home. Before leaving, they must tie a strip of red cloth one foot long and three inches wide to our middle fingers;

For example, use a long bamboo pole to lift the weeds floating on the water, and then cover the corpse with white cloth. Then take a hemp rope mixed with black dog hair and tie it to the waist of the corpse, hang the corpse in the shade, wait for the family to identify it, and then carry the corpse to the shore after it is recognized;

For example, if you raise a black dog at home, a large bamboo pole is placed in the courtyard, and a gossip mirror is tied to it. If the black dog barks continuously after returning home after catching the corpse, and there is blood in the mirror, it means that there is something dirty on your body and you have to go back to the water to deal with it immediately.

Of course, these methods are only a small part of them, and the effects vary from person to person, depending on the situation.”

"Is there any more reliable way?" Chen Chong asked casually with a try attitude, but unexpectedly the middle-aged man really nodded.

He stroked the big red rooster in his arms and smiled bitterly: "It's true, it's this big red rooster..."

"Can it drive away evil spirits?"

"No." The middle-aged man answered very simply.

"Then what does it do?" Chen Chong scratched, confused.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, "Its function is to die. When he was fishing the corpse and collecting the boat, he smeared its neck with a knife and threw it into the water as a sacrifice. Since you have taken away the corpse in the water, you must return one, either you or it. To put it unpleasantly, it is equivalent to dying for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chong also became silent. On the one hand, he had sympathy for the big red rooster, and on the other hand...

It's really speechless. According to the other party, isn't it equivalent to killing the corpse by yourself later?

"Where is my chicken? Where is it?"

While Chen Chong cursing in his heart, he was thinking about how to fool the big red rooster from the middle-aged man. Just as he was about to speak up, the black cat's cry suddenly exploded in his ears.

Meow!

The sound comes from the black cat, but it is louder and more harsh than ever before!

It was at this moment that a cold wind blew on his scalp, causing him to tremble involuntarily. Then his gaze became dazed and he was shocked to see that the thick fog around him had disappeared, and he was actually standing at the entrance of the bridge that had just stepped onto the trestle!

The black cat was spinning around anxiously, his tongue almost drooping to the ground.

The trestle is very quiet. There are many wind blowing between the round stakes and the bridge deck. Many of the ragged spiders are also incomplete. Some are even corroded by insects and ants, and only uneven wood chips are left!

Of course, none of these matters, because the corpse-catching man holding the big red rooster is gone, or it has never appeared.

It turns out that he is a ghost!

Chen Chong frowned. It seemed that he had already been hit when the fog on the river had started. Fortunately, the middle-aged man had no malice and was still quite 'sensible'.

This is not arrogant, but self-confidence. Since the black cat can forcibly break through the falsehood, it is obviously proved that it is not afraid of middle-aged men. With its assistance, and relying on the kitchen knife in its own hands, it is enough to make middle-aged men suffer.

As soon as he thought about this, Chen Chong quickly rubbed the black cat's head and laughed: "It's good."

Meow.

The black cat screamed sweetly, not knowing whether it was really happy or was preparing in advance for future food issues.

Standing up, Chen Chong looked at the time. There were about five minutes before twelve o'clock in the morning, and cold sweat gradually emerged behind him.

"Not to mention the 'three taboos' and the big red rooster, even the middle-aged man mentioned that the bamboo pole mixed with black dog hair ropes and other items, he didn't have it at all! It's impossible to do it now, as time is too late." Chen Chong smiled and said a few times without laughing. "From the perspective of the corpse-catching man, as long as he catches the corpse himself, he should definitely die."

Fortunately, the only good news now is that the small wooden boat is still there, but there are no lanterns on the bow.

"I can only take one step at a time." He took a deep breath and carefully walked across the pier with the black cat. After confirming that the wooden boat had no water leak or it would rot when it stepped on, he jumped up.

"I don't know how the middle-aged man died. It would be okay if he died normally, but if he got into something unclean because of picking up the corpse, it would be a bit intriguing."
