The Emperor's Life of a Wretched Man

Solo and the others strode forward, walked for about 500 meters, turned a corner, and heard human voices in front of them.

After walking forward for a while, a bluestone house appeared on the right side of the mountain, only two or three meters away from the road. There were stone steps to climb up, and a large boat was placed beside the road.

This big wooden boat is seven or eight meters long and about three meters wide. There are miscellaneous things on the boat, and there is a very long penny pole standing beside the stone wall of the boat. An octagonal pole is tied to the penny pole. bronze mirror.

And that black dog had already run to the abandoned big boat, stood up with its tongue sticking out, leaned on the side of the boat and looked at Solo and the others. Emotions, colors.

The human voice came from the front, and Solo and the others kept walking, went straight forward, walked another 50 meters, made another turn, and the front suddenly opened up, which was a valley between two mountains.

And in the valley surrounded a large group of people, about three or four hundred, old and young, men and women ###, all dressed in tatters, surrounded by a mess, unable to see clearly what the crowd was doing.

Solo immediately led people towards the crowd, and soon someone saw Solo and the others and yelled something, the crowd fell silent immediately, and all turned their heads to look at Solo and the others in unison.

Solo and the others immediately stopped and followed the crowd to look at each other. It seemed that all the villagers in the village had come here, as if they were doing some kind of ceremony.

At this time, an old man yelled something to the villagers, and the villagers gathered around again. They couldn't see what was going on inside, and the old man came up to Solo and the others alone.

The old man seemed to be smiling, but there were too many wrinkles on his face, and it was terrifying that flies and mosquitoes would be crushed to death when they landed on it. Even if he didn't smile, he looked like he was smiling, but this expression was uglier than crying, and it was similar to Cui Yongyuan's smile. spell.

"I am Huang Youqian, the village head of Huangni Village. How many leaders are the work teams sent from above?" Although the village head is not tall and young, he looks very strong, and he stretched out his hand to Solo. .

So Luo smiled and stretched out his hand, and held it tightly with the old man's hand, but did not let go, and said with a smile: "Cun Zhang, we are here to find the missing archaeological team, you are..." So Luo Luo looked up at the villagers and asked.

"It's nothing serious. There are a few old wells here, which are silted up with mud. The villagers are digging the wells to worship the king of the river. They haven't eaten yet. I'll ask someone to arrange lunch for you..." Huang Youqian said and turned his head He yelled a few times in a language he didn't understand.

Following the old man's words, a middle-aged woman came over with a promise of two **-year-old children, a man and a woman.

The middle-aged woman was extremely thin, and she looked very old, but the two children he led looked good. The little boy had a thick head and a thick head, with a big snot all over his face, and he kept wiping it with his sleeves.

And the little girl was a little bigger than the little boy, and although she was not as tall as the little boy, she was still pretty. She was looking at Solo and the others with a pair of curious big eyes.

"Captain Huang, can we see how the well was cleaned? I haven't seen it when it's so big..." Solo asked.

"What's so good about a stinking well? It's full of mud. Your bodies are precious. Don't get burned. Let's go, let's go back to the village..." Village Chief Huang said without letting go of Solo's hand. Then, while pulling Solo towards the loop.

Solo and Mr. Zhao would not believe that the whole village would have to come to find a well. As for the matter of worshiping the King of the River to find a well, Solo and Mr. Zhao have never heard of it, so it is not good to force them to stay. Here, but Village Chief Huang pulled and walked towards the loop.

When passing by the house on the mountain wall, the black dog was still lying in the big boat looking out, but it didn't bark, but this time there was an old man on the big boat. A cold breath.

He sat there without looking up, just smoking the dry cigarette, and the green smoke swirled and drifted away with the mountain wind. So Luo and Mr. Zhao turned their attention to this cold old man, and at the same time, the smell of a dead body was caught by So Luo. catch.

Solo's nose is unique, it is an innate sense of smell, and as his skill grows, his sense of smell becomes more and more acute.

Solo subconsciously took a few more glances at the old man. Although the old man didn't look up, he was still sitting there in a gloomy manner, but Solo seemed to feel that the old man was looking at him, and a creepy feeling arose in his heart.

One thing Solo can be sure of is that although the old man sitting on the boat smoking a cigarette is good at martial arts, he is not a master, just like a second- or third-rate master in the world.

He kept looking back at the old man until he was out of sight when he turned the corner, so Luo turned his head back, but he always felt that there was an eye staring at him behind him, which made his back feel chilly.

Village head Huang Youqian seemed to see Solo's strangeness, and smiled at Solo, but this smile made people think that he was crying:

"He is a Yellow River water ghost, begging for a living by the Yellow River, and when he can't do anything, he runs here to shelter from the wind..."

"Yellow River Water Ghost? You mean he is the Yellow River Corpse Man? I read a report called "Alive" and introduced the Yellow River Water Ghost." Solo said.

"It's different. What you're talking about is people who make black-hearted money and collect dead bodies. Those who don't know how to do it are called water ghosts. That gloomy old guy you saw is the real Yellow River water ghost..." Huang Youqian said.

"What's the difference?" Solo asked.

"There's a big difference. The real water ghosts are homeless, jobless, and childless. They rarely enter the village. They live alone outside the village and are passed down from generation to generation.

The previous generation of water ghosts started to adopt homeless orphans when they were middle-aged, and after they had learned their skills, new water ghosts would take their place when they retired.

Ordinary corpses they don't pick up. They can tell if there is a crime at a glance. Anyone who doesn't commit a crime can fish it.

If the family members of the deceased must give it, they can tie a piece of red cloth the length of a foot on the middle finger, and give them a fast meal..."

"Then what do they live on?" Solo couldn't figure it out.

"It doesn't need to be said by him to eat food from a hundred families. In the days to come, the team leader of the village will collect grain and rice from each household and send it over, and each family will also compete to give it. Living by the Yellow River, no one will die. In the Yellow River? Give them all, give them all, and compete to give them good food..."

"What is evil spirit?" Solo asked.

"The Yellow River is full of water, so death in the Yellow River can be seen from the sky. Men lie prone and women lie down, but it is easy to distinguish whether men are men or women. It can be seen from the posture of floating on the water.

Anyone can pick them up. If only the hair floats on the water, those who make money by profession will just ignore it and go around. This is a crime of the river. Something big will happen.

The real water ghost can be seen at a glance. The surface of the Yellow River is full of rubbish. Who can see it?Water ghosts are fine, they can see them not only floating up, but also those walking deep in the water..."
