Here Lies The Wicked

Changxi Village.

This hill village is named for its backing against a stream of water.

Downstream of Changxi Village, there is also a village called Guoxi Village.

Changxi Village shares a stream of water with Guoxi Village, which originates from mountain springs on the mountain.

However, with more than a decade ago, there were more hydroelectric plants on the mountains, streams were decreasing each year, revenues from farmers and orchards were falling each year, and two generations of adjacent small mountain villages had not been sparked by conflict in recent years in order to compete for the limited water resources on which they depended for their survival.

In June, the summer melon fruit was about to ripen, the ditch was dry, water was scarce, and the melon fruit in Guoxi Village was not strong enough to cause many people to complain.

So, just a few days ago, Guoxi Village was led by people who blocked Changxi Village at night, not to mention Changxi Village interception, only to irrigate their own households, completely disregarding the death of downstream villages, and then to reclaim the water source.

How could the people of Changxi Village admit such a thing?

One party accuses the other party of definitely cutting off the stream water, the other side refuses to admit that their housekeepers are not doing well this year, so they can go to the field to see if they believe it.

Money drives people crazy.

In the interests of the two villages, clashes ensued, culminating this year in a vicious incident that caused more than a dozen injuries and one death.

A villager from Guoxi Village accidentally drowned in the water due to untimely treatment.

Dead people, which could have spooked the town, drove a long string of police cars and ambulances into the village in the middle of the night, took the bodies and the wounded, and took them back to the police station where they had led a few troubles.

This was supposed to be the end of it.

But, by the way, this is starting to move in the direction of the ever-evil gate.

Ever since the clashes killed a villager in the village of Guoxi that night, the village of Changxi has become less peaceful.

The night after the death, it was said that a face was seen in the floating well water as a barrel of well water was shot from the well.

The man knocked over the bucket in fright, and then the man's face, like an egg yolk, flowed into the sewer pipe along the current.

Naturally, nobody believed it at first.

However, on the third night of the drowning of the villagers of Guoxi Village, the second night when the face was seen in the well water, Changxi Village died.

The dead were the villagers who claimed to have seen their faces in the water and drowned in their own wells.

At that time, the villagers had not detected the anomaly, only as if it had been an ordinary well fall and drown. The fourth night of the death of the villagers of Guoxi Village, Changxi Village died again, this time drowning by the river.

But it's weird that this is where the dead man is a lonely old man. That night, after the old man nagged the village, a lot of the same village old people saw the old man go back to the house, the lights were still on in the house, the doors and windows were unlocked from the house, forming a typical secret room environment.

But the old man's body was found on the shore of the river a few miles away the next day.

The police arrived and did not find a result. The doors and windows were locked back into the room forming a secret room environment. Apart from the living marks of the elderly, no traces of others were found, such as those left by the murderer. At present, the villagers do not even know whether it was a homicide.

But today, Changxi Village is dead again.

Early in the morning, early farmers found a corpse floating in the stream.

Suddenly, the village rioted.

This is the third person in a row in Changxi Village.

As if cursed, Changxi Village is rapidly causing fear in the village at the rate of one person dying every day.

By this time, by the creek, a large number of villagers had been gathered.

The whole village, men, women and children, all gathered here, watching the streams sink into the bodies, with fear and anxiety in their eyes, no one went down to salvage the bodies.

Because several elderly people in the village were carrying crutches, several strong men in the village were being prevented from going down to the river to fish for their bodies.

“This body can't be salvaged! ”

“The body in this water cannot be salvaged, it is a dead body, salvage this body, the whole village will be in great trouble! ”

The old men, desperately trying to stop the villagers from salvaging the bodies in the water.

Although people in the village respect the elderly, but it is a matter of great concern to the dead, someone stood up and said, "Who can drown in the water is not the unjust one who died prematurely. ”

“In the past, we have not been able to salvage bodies from the water, nor have we heard of any taboos that could not be salvaged by unjust dead bodies, nor have several grandfathers and uncles prevented us from salvaging the bodies. Why did they stop us from salvaging the bodies this time? We are coarse people, we dropped out of school before we finished junior high school, we don't understand the principle, but the dead are the big ones, people die in the dirt for the most basic conscience, we still know, can't let the bodies in the water just keep soaking? ”

Immediately, several croppers stood in peace, saying that the deceased were large.

And this person has been floating in the water, it is not a problem. This stream is the water that feeds the whole village. The villagers enter and exit every day, passing through this stream.

Don't say adults look cold, if they scare children, nobody can take responsibility for this.

Who doesn't protect their children like calves?

The old men, stamped with crutches, gasped: “Dumb! It's confusing! ”

“Look at the bodies floating in this water. What's the difference from those who drowned before? ”

By this reminder, all the villagers around them looked at the bodies in the water. They looked at the bodies floating in the water, and they always felt something was wrong. But then again, something was wrong.

An old man sighed and warned, "I ask you, have the bodies you've seen floated on your backs or against the sky? ”

“Have any of you ever seen a corpse floating with only a pair of feet under its head? ”

After such a reminder, everyone looked again, and suddenly a cold air rushed straight from the tailbone to the head of the mental lid. In broad daylight, the body felt cold.

The bodies in the water, they were floating on the bottom of their heads, no wonder they felt something was wrong, but they couldn't say it again.

They were also the first to see such a death.

“What should we do, let the body soak in the water all the time?” Villagers' voices trembled and they were afraid to say.

At this moment, don't worry about the letter or the feudal superstition. For the first time, it is a strange way of dying, and you will feel cold behind your back when you see it.

“There is only one person who can save our village, and he has seen more bodies than all of us. ”

“The death method on this lower leg is what a few of our old men told us when they were younger. One of the people who died transversely could not swallow his breath and was angry and depressed at his throat, so he floated on his head and feet in the water. ”

“Hurry up and get someone to find Wang Lao Liu at the west end of the village, he has a way. ”

Lady Wang?

Isn't that Wang's brilliant grandfather?

“I, I heard from Wang that his grandfather had something to do with leaving the village and had not returned for several days...”

Among the surrounding villagers, there were famous children of the same age as Wang, shouting in the crowd.
