Chapter 268 Him

Looking at the floating objects on the sea, as the water washed closer and closer to the island, not only did the hair on his hands stand up, but goosebumps fell all over his body.

It's becoming clearer and clearer.

At this moment, he really wanted to dig out his eyes. It was okay. Why was his eyesight so good?

At this time, Ye Huimei felt that the bag in her hand was almost full. She looked up and looked for it. She wanted to ask her third brother or her father to help drag it, but she saw her third brother standing there in a daze.

"Third brother, what are you doing? What are you doing? Come and help me...ah..."

As she spoke, Ye Huimei turned her head to follow her third brother's line of sight, and suddenly screamed, her face turned pale with fright, and she quickly closed her eyes again.

"Don't look..." Ye Yaodong had already seen it before she could say anything.

Father Ye and Mother Ye were also startled by her scream. They quickly raised their heads and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"What's wrong? Why are you so surprised? You girl, what's going on today? You know how to scream..."

Mother Ye complained, and at the same time walked out quickly from the corner and walked towards Ye Huimei, "Why are you like this?"

Ye Huimei had a mournful face, her eyes were closed tightly, and she didn't dare to open them. She pointed towards the sea and let her mother see for herself.

Ye Yaodong stood in front of his mother and said, "There is a male corpse floating on the sea in front of you. Don't look at it. Turn around."

When Yang Qi gathers in the face, a man's face will be heavy. If he drowns, his face will face down. Yin energy gathers in the back, so if a woman carries a heavy weight on her back, the person who drowns will definitely face up.

Therefore, Ye Yaodong knew at a glance that it was a male corpse, and there were few women going to sea, so the dead were usually men.

Mother Ye was also frightened when she heard this. She felt a little cold all over her body, her hair stood on end, and her voice was trembling, "Is it... a corpse? Floating from our side?"

As soon as Father Ye walked out of the rocks, he heard the conversation between the two. He was startled and looked forward.

With just one glance, he felt that his scalp was numb for a moment, and his face didn't look good. "Why...why did we meet him?"

Encountering a dead body at sea can be a good thing or a bad thing.

People on the seaside are very superstitious, there is a saying.

If you encounter a dead body at sea, if you are afraid to shrink back and don't dare to approach it, and if you don't see it and just run away, then the ghost will follow you.

Because if you can meet him, "he" deliberately found him. If you are afraid of turning a blind eye, then "he" will keep pestering you, and you will also have bad luck one after another, everything will go wrong, and in serious cases, you may be possessed by evil spirits. Even a direct substitute!

If you can endure the fear and nausea, fish out "him" and find an isolated island to bury "him"...

On the contrary, you will be protected by "him", and you will have great luck and good things.

The probability of encountering this is low, but it is not impossible. If you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet...

Father Ye thought of this superstitious statement, and Ye Yaodong had already thought of it. The father and son stood together and looked at each other silently, and neither of them said anything for the time being.

They are all ordinary people, and it is normal to be afraid.

The corpse in front of him has been wandering around the edge of the island as the waves washed away. No matter how hard the waves hit him, they could not drag "him" back into the sea. They just pushed "him" towards the island again and again, but they could not let him go. stranded.

Just keep going forward and back, forward and back...

It seems that they are forcing the father and son to make a decision as soon as possible...

Although Ye Mu was informed in advance that she had not seen the body, she was still a little panicked. She opened her mouth and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

She thought of a story that was circulating in the village, and then said in a panic: "The Lin Dashan couple who lived in the back pier of that village, I heard that they met on the sea... When I met this, I originally wanted to fish it. As soon as they got close, they were caught in the net, but when they saw their faces, they were so frightened that they threw them back into the sea and ran away. Within seven days, the couple... just disappeared... disappeared..."

The more Ye Mu thinks about it, the paler her face becomes...

Ye Huimei became even more frightened after hearing this, and held her mother's arm tightly.

As a mother, you must be strong. Mother Ye saw her daughter closing her eyes tightly in fear, her eyelashes were still trembling, and the hand holding her arm was shaking as she patted her daughter repeatedly to comfort her.

"It's okay, it's okay... don't be afraid... it'll be fine if you don't think about it. Your father and your third brother are here. Come on, I'll take you to the corner to wait. Don't stand here."

Ye Huimei nodded and followed her mother to the corner.

It only took a moment for the incident to happen. Ye Yaodong watched the corpses moving forward and back, as if he had identified them. He turned his head and swallowed with a dry throat, and then said: "Come on, dad..."

When he first saw it, he was silent for a long time. Not only was he panicked when he saw the corpse, he also thought of the fate he had ended up with "him" in his previous life.

No matter what, he would bury "him".

But he still needs some construction in his heart. He is just an ordinary person.

"Well, come on, come on, and bring...the spatula with you so that you can dig a hole later..."

"It just happened to drift to this island. Drag it up, take it to the mountain and bury it. This will save you the trouble of salvaging it and putting it on the ship..."

"Yeah, let's drag it up together first, so as not to be swept away by the waves again, which will be a disaster for us."

"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's face down anyway..."

"Yeah, there's nothing to be afraid of. Burying people is also a meritorious deed."

The father and son encouraged each other to move forward, but the further they walked, the more panicked they became. Fortunately, they had a companion. One person would really be scared to death.

When they got closer, they clearly saw that the body was swollen in a large circle, and it was also wrapped with a lot of messy seaweed and many insect eggs, along with the squirming animals. The skin protruding from the back of the neck was covered with large pieces of corpse. Madara, it was obvious that he had been dead for some time.

The father and son looked at each other, with obvious shock in their eyes!

"Dad, one person at a time, go that way..." Ye Yaodong swallowed and pointed in the direction.

Now that the tide has receded, a large area of ​​the beach has been exposed. Ye Yaodong turned around and saw that on their side, there was a part of the island with no rocks, only piles of gravel.

It is easier to drag it up the mountain. The exposed area of ​​the beach here is too small. If it is buried on the beach, there will be water underneath, and a few big waves will easily wash up the corpses underneath. Then they It would be useless to bury it. It would be more appropriate to take it to the mountain.

The father and son suppressed their nausea and used the buoyancy of the water to drag the body towards the side of the island.

Fortunately, both of them were wearing gloves. The body had just been dragged to the beach. Not only did it slide along the way, leaving traces of dragging, but also special water stains, slightly green and a bit black, which were the swelling and fractures caused by the soaking of the body during dragging. The corpse water left by the skin...

And there are some disgusting little white animals.

There are actually a lot of fungi in the ocean, and what covered the entire corpse were sea lice and small arthropods.

Sea lice can be understood as maggots in the sea...

The father and son couldn't bear to lower their heads and look back, and walked bravely up the mountain.

I didn't go very far, I just walked to a position where the waves couldn't hit me, and the surrounding space was enough to dig a big hole.

The two of them threw the body into a corner, trying their best not to give him a look, and still let "him" lie down. Then each of them took a spatula and worked hard to dig a hole.

This deserted island has not been touched by anyone for a long time. It is surrounded by densely packed trees. Even in the winter, the trees are still evergreen. It is considered a geomantic treasure to be buried here. It directly faces the sea. Some people on the seaside also deliberately set up cemeteries. Surrounded by deserted islands.

The father and son dug hard. They had work to do, and they were less prone to wandering thoughts. They were much calmer. However, the soil was very tight and it was not easy to dig. Moreover, they did not have a hoe, only a spatula used for cleaning the sea.

After digging hard for almost two hours, the two of them dug a hole big enough for one person to lie down.

"Is it almost ready?"

Father Ye nodded and dug two more times before saying, "It's almost done. Turn him over and put him down again."

"Um……"

There is nothing to be afraid of when things come to an end. We are busy working to the last step. If we extend our head, it will be a knife, and if we shrink our head, it will be a knife.

The father and son walked towards the corpse. Within a short time, the whole corpse was already covered with white animals.

Ye Yaodong moved his fingers and stood in the same direction as his father. The two turned their shoulders, one turned his waist, and turned the body over...

In an instant...in the middle of winter, both father and son were covered in cold sweat, and their scalps were numb...

The two people's eyes closed quickly, and then their heads looked to the empty space next to them.

"One...one person at a time...carry it down..."

Father Ye is so tongue-tied when he talks...

Ye Yaodong nodded in panic and walked to the feet of the corpse. Regardless of the disgusting things on "him", he and his father carried one head and one foot into the pit.

Then he hurriedly fiddled with the dirt with his hands and sprinkled it on "his" face, covering "him" first. It was so damn scary...

By the way, get rid of the small animals on your hands first.

The father and son pushed the soil they had just dug down again until all the bodies were covered and there was a bag of soil on the ground. Then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yaodong took off the gloves on his hands, threw them aside and said to Father Ye: "Dad, you go to the boat and bring three incense sticks over. I'll wait here and bring over the noodles and dried vegetables."

Father Ye nodded, "I'll go back quickly."

"Well, call my mother and little sister, come over and bow to express your gratitude."

Just in case, they always have incense on board.

After burying the person, Ye Yaodong felt at peace and was no longer afraid. He clasped his hands together and muttered: "Brother, since you have met me, I will definitely find you a place to stay. I hope everything goes well for you in the next life." ,That rich………"

He blessed and prayed for a while, and soon his father came over with his mother and little sister who was still in shock.

He comforted: "It's okay, don't be afraid, the burial has been completed, let's just lay incense and bow."

The two nodded.

Father Ye placed the noodles and dried vegetables he brought in front of the grave, as well as a bowl of tea. "Brother, we don't have any decent sacrifices on board, so you can make do with it..."

Ye Yaodong took out the lighter from his pocket and lit three sticks of incense. After the whole family bowed three times, they placed them in front of the grave. He clasped his hands together and bowed three times.

Then he said to his family: "Let's go, it's okay."
