Chapter 1:Floating Coffin

My name is Xing Yun, "do not do anything wrong, not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door" this sentence is my motto.But when a man is alive with a lot of helplessness, I did a bad thing, and then the things were thrilling.

In 2008, my father was sick and urgently needed to use money, and I was forced to help, and my friend found a job in the south to recover his body in the river.It’s a bit dirty, but it makes a lot of money.

This work is not only dangerous, but also very hard, especially often encounter some things that science can not explain, but I am not superstitious at all.Sometimes tired, as long as I think of my parents and children, my heart feels warm and full of energy.

In June of that year, heavy rains caused flooding more than 200 kilometers away, and I set a "miracle" to salvage more than 70 bodies in a week.In addition to accidents caused by natural disasters, other drowning people are mainly female, especially female migrant workers working in rural areas to urban areas.

For a long time, I was often able to confirm my identity through their clothes, and sometimes I could find ID cards or work cards in their clothes.Depression caused by poverty and other emotional problems, domestic violence, family conflicts and other great pressures often led them to choose this path of no return.

Three days ago, I had just recovered a body.This is a 17-year-old boy.The boy suddenly opened his eyes when I caught it.I’m so scared, I can’t do that job.

Some young women may also be victims of criminality.Whenever I see a corpse running down, I immediately start the boat to catch up, and then use a long hook to pick up the body and drag it back to the shore.If I find a head injury, or broken hands and feet, and am skinned, I will immediately call the police.

In the summer, the heat exacerbated the decomposition of the body, and at this time I was only relieved by smoking a constant cigarette.I work from 6 a.m. to dark every day and smell this unpleasant smell.After I found the body, I had to clean it up before I could return it to my family.It was better now than before, because now there was no need to bury the bodies anymore, just send them to a nearby crematorium.

For every body recovered, the Civil Affairs Bureau will give a subsidy fee of 500 yuan.If the body has a family member to claim, the family will also give a certain hard fee, but the amount of the amount is subject to private consultation between me and the family.For the average poor family, it will cost 500 yuan, while for those rich families, it will cost 3,000 yuan.Some of the deadmen are not moral, and they will ask their families for 8,000 to 10,000, which is extortion.

I was fishing with a Northeast man, more than 40 years old, everyone called him Old Hu.This person is good everywhere, it is erotic, with two dollars in hand, it will be sent to the boss of the opposite waste station.

Old Hu usually took care of me, sometimes the body I picked up was excessively corrupt, stinking, when I could not start, he always used a mat to roll the body up, carrying it and threw it into the morgue.

I am not an ungrateful person, old Hu is good to me, I remember it in my heart.I found that he especially liked to drink, especially on the barbecue to drink fifty-six degrees of the second pot head, I bought a stove, after dark for the old barbecue to eat.But the old Hu did not eat the fish in the river, saying that the fish here grew up eating human flesh.

I know in my heart that this old man is superstitious.

The old Hu people often talk about God, and I went out in the middle of the night to pee and met the old Hu people talking to the corpse in the morgue several times.He would also put a steel bracelet in the mouth of each corpse, saying that it would mean that it had not eaten human fireworks, and they knew that they should not stay in the sun.This money is also its sealing fee, not to go to the underworld to accuse us of the blackness.

I don’t care about all of this, and if I believe this, I won’t do it.

As soon as the flood season passes, the bodies in Jiangli will be less and less, and there will not be much work until the rainy season next year.Old Hu and I also sat down, sometimes for three days without a body.Although there are no bodies, but Jiangli often has something else, and our happiest thing is to catch verbs, which can usually sell for a good price.Therefore, I am still willing to continue to hold a telescope on the riverside lookout and stare at the river surface.

There is an old Shen who plays furniture in the city, and will call Lao Hu every few days to ask if there is any good material, in fact, he is looking for verm.We sold him a piece of material for five thousand dollars, he made furniture, and sold it for half a million dollars.This person is particularly tucked away, and every time he comes, he has to press the price and then press the price.

This wind and sun are very conducive to my search for targets on the river.I was looking at the telescope, and suddenly the river surface sprang up a black thing, like a shark jumping out of the water.I know, this is through the water washing, will be pressed its mud and sand are washed away, it floated up!

I quickly wringed the lens of the telescope closer and found that this came out of a huge black coffin.The coffin and I often caught the old Hu, and it was washed down in water.But such a large coffin, or from underwater, I saw it for the first time.

I immediately ran down, shouted to the old Hu to get on the boat quickly, we got into the boat and chased it, pulling the big coffin to the river.

After that, Lao Hu and I pulled the coffin onto the track flatbed and pulled it directly into our yard.

“Being rich!”The old Hu stretched his neck and looked at the huge coffin and said, "This is good wood, if I am not mistaken, this is poplar wood!"The coffin has been buried at the bottom of the river for many years, outside is the cassette, inside is the coffin, and inside is the body.These are the people who used to die before using such good materials.Look at the pattern on it, there are roses, there is the moon, and the maid and the young lady, and there must be a woman in it."

I patted the cassette with my hand and said, “Old Hu, you know a lot.”I wouldn’t have been a gold lieutenant before.”

He looked at me with a smile, then pointed a coffin with a finger and whispered: "If this thing is handed over to the country, it is at most five hundred bonuses and a banner."If we take care of it ourselves, . . .

The old Hu looked at me in silence for a moment and said, "Maybe after this ticket, we can both retire, there should be a lot of treasure between this coffin and the fiery, even if not, such a big coffin, we will open and sell to Lao Shen, at least this number!" 」

He said he swung five fingers.

I said, “Fifty thousand?”

She said, “This is a broth.Five million!At least that number!This time it wasn't sold."

I was shocked, and then I was excited.Five million, and each of me and the old Hu two and a half million, which not only cures my father, but also gives my daughter a good life.I was moved, but I said carefully, “But is this a cultural object?”We will not be caught.”

The old Hu said: "Now count, but we do not count after we open, but it takes some strength to open."For so many years, this coffin dripping water does not leak, but also shows that the coffin is working, speaking in the heart, it is a pity to open it."

I lit a cigarette and said, "Old Hu, I support the opening, you know, my father is very serious heart disease, money can live, I need money."I also want to talk about feelings, but the hospital does not talk to me, there is no money will not give my father surgery!Even if you die outside the hospital room, people don’t care.Don't say it's a coffin, I'll do anything for money."

Old Hu and I closed the door and pulled the coffin onto the round wood, I pulled in front, and he pushed behind him and hid it in the cabin.

In the evening, the people of the Civil Affairs Bureau came to a trip, and after they arrived, they sent a subsidy of 800 yuan to each of them and Lao Hu, asked if we had any difficulties in life, and sent some rice and vegetables to drive away.As soon as it was dark, Lao Hu and I went into the cabin, intending to pry open the coffin.

The cover of the throttle was nailed to the silver nail, I lifted the chrysanthemum, climbed to the top, and looked in, the middle of the thairy was a normal-sized coffin, and the gap next to it was not gold and silver treasure, but a corpse.The body was sitting next to the coffin, wearing a brown robe, which saw the air, and suddenly became powder scattered, leaving only the white bone of the body.

The old Hu looked up and said, "Xing Yun, come down, this coffin can't move."

I said, “Old Hu, why can’t you move?”

Then look at the coffin, which was faintly painted on top of the coffin, and on the four corners of the coffin, there were four gold bells the size of the thumb belly, which glittered under the light.
