My original plan was this: I drove my motorcycle to Yang Village first, handed over the steamed bun and the small snake bracelet she used to hide to Wang Xinmei in person, and stored the motorcycle in Yang Village by the way.But my dad said that this time I was going to do business on behalf of the ghost gate, so I would take the water route instead of the land route."
I don't know how many people are staring at you on the road to the south, so this time we will do the opposite, and we will take the waterway by surprise."
Well, I said in my heart that this is necessary, but in my impression, my father has always been right, and I must listen to it.As for the destination, Shima Village, I have researched it many times on the map of my mobile phone before.From the map, the county seat of Shaliu Town is in the upper left.A little to the lower right is the head of the snake in Shima Mountain, which is bypassed diagonally from north to east by the Dilong River from the northwest.Between the Dilong River and Shima Mountain, is Shima Village.Due to the geographical environment, there are only mountains and rivers from north to east, and there are no roads.This is because in the past, the geographical environment, natural conditions, and economic development of Shima Village and Yangcun were backward, and it was not enough to attract the attention of the leaders, so there have been no inclined measures in development decision-making for many years.Of course, if the project can really be established to engage in tourism development in the future, it will be completely different.The current situation is that the straight-line distance from Shaliu Town to Shima Village is the shortest; In fact, the road from Yangcun to Shima Village is a half-circle along the south.Another point is that on the east side of the county, the range through which the Dilong River flows is a valley area, which is constantly twisting and undulating; In addition, the river is not wide and the water is not very strong, so it is impossible to drift all the way down even with a small boat.From this point of view, the seemingly omnipotent human beings can only choose to give in, and can only build roads from the flatter south.But in my father's words, we are a ghost door, and if there is no unique skill at the bottom of the box, it is not called a ghost door.I chose to take the waterway, and the plan that my father made for me was a combination of the expertise of the ghost gate and some special channels to implement it.Doesn't my family make stone tablets, my father usually has the most contact with funeral professionals, and this time he naturally made his idea from this line.Along the Dilong River, there is a kind of bamboo called dragon bamboo, which is as thick as an ordinary pillar when it grows up, and the locals will use it as the preferred material for building houses.Moreover, dragon bamboo is sometimes used to make bamboo dragon coffins, temporarily restrain those who have died in other places, and then use the Dilong River to float their bodies home, which is the meaning of taking the dragon on the water, and begging for praise.However, because the bamboo dragon coffin is not often used, the group and scope of knowledge are not wide, and only professionals like my father know and have contact with the coffin maker.I roughly understood: my father meant to ask me to sneak to Shima Village secretly, and the most convenient means of transportation that people could not think of was the bamboo dragon coffin.I just don't know exactly what he wants me to do.In fact, my father was thoughtful and thoughtful.After dinner, I packed up my things to take with me, and as usual, I got into a pickup truck that often carried stones for my family.Even if someone sees me, they will think that I am shopping for stone and will not suspect anything else.In the process of sitting in the car and leaving, I still thought to myself: This is in the past, my father is really a good hand at underground work, after dark, I and the steamed buns in the bracelet came to a quarry more than ten kilometers outside the city, and I also got out of the car to chat with the people watching the field for a while, and then took advantage of the cover of night to climb over the mountain behind the quarry, and then walked along the stream for another kilometer, and then came to the place where my father told me to find the person I was looking for, Qiujia Village.Of course, the family that used the bamboo dragon coffin to transport the corpses of foreigners on the Dilong River was surnamed Qiu, and the head of the family, Uncle Qiu, had a good relationship with his father in the past.When I arrived at his house, they were really welcoming; However, after I took out the token and explained the intention, Uncle Qiu heard that I was going to use the bamboo dragon coffin as a boat, and couldn't help crying and laughing and said that my father really dared to think about it, it was really nonsense, but my uncle didn't ask much, just because his body was not feeling well recently, he ordered his eldest son, who was in the prime of life and was also trained as a successor, to take a trip and use the bamboo dragon coffin to send me safely to my destination.Anyway, this is the first time in my life that I have seen a bamboo dragon coffin.Although the bamboo dragon coffin is called a coffin, its appearance is similar to that of a boat, and the cabin part located in the center is the coffin; Another point is that the bamboo dragon coffin can be reused many times.Uh, that means that the passengers it holds are generally corpses, but now there are exceptions, and there is one more me lying in it like a corpse, and of course, there are steamed buns in the form of ghost bodies.In fact, if it weren't for my father's arrangement, I really wouldn't be happy to take this weird and crazy "boat".If you think about it, the place where my head, my shoulders, my hips, my head to my toes, every part of my body touched, I don't know how many corpses I touched before I lay in, and I didn't feel comfortable anywhere anyway.It's not like I haven't seen a corpse; But now this feeling is the same as lying in a pile of dead people, my heart can't help but chill for a while, and I am even worried that some unclean insects will get into my clothes and trouser legs from the bulkhead, into my skin, oops, I dare not think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more terrible it is At this time, Uncle Qiu is burning the dead paper and chanting incantations outside, that is, the whole set of fixed procedures before pretending to collect the corpse and preparing to leave.I secretly complained in my heart: Uncle, I'm a big living person, even if those procedural jobs can't be avoided, it's just routine and perfunctory, can I use such a formal, one-glance I appreciate his professionalism and professional ethics, but I really can't help his occupational disease.Fortunately, he still realized that I was alive, so he carried my bamboo dragon coffin in a special ox cart and walked to the river without fully covering the hatch.In addition, there is a little boy who is a little bigger than a steamed bun sitting on the ox cart, and the appearance of a tiger is very cute.Uncle Qiu said that this was his younger brother, named Qiu Yuting, who had just turned six years old.The reason why he was brought out was to let him practice his courage, and secondly, when he would get down the river, he had to drive the ox cart back.Oh, this way, I'll go to Uncle Qiu, and I can really grow up to be so old to make such a little guy, it's really fierce in my heart to slander the uncle, it's too much, even the children who have just finished kindergarten don't let go, and this is the beginning of vocational training.But it's not easy to say anything, just smile politely at the child, how old am I, and when we meet in Pingshui for the first time, I can't call him "little uncle" as soon as I open my mouth, anyway, I'm sweaty, but maybe it's because I'm lying in the coffin and my vision is not clear, or the little guy will mistakenly think I'm a corpse, right, didn't Uncle just talk to me, anyway, Qiu Yuting treated me coldly, didn't look at me and didn't talk to me.The ox cart squeaked and swayed to the river beach, and I could see where the special feature of the ox cart was.It turns out that this ox cart can slowly lift the trunk up like a truck, so that the bamboo dragon coffin can easily slide into the water, and the bamboo dragon coffin rises and falls after entering the water, I feel like I am in the cradle of a thick quilt, if it is not in a bad mood, it is actually quite comfortable.Then, Uncle Qiu and his brother briefly confessed, and he jumped on the boat and said to me: "Let's go" So I closed the lid of the coffin, and I was completely immersed in the boundless darknessaa2705221,,;
