Chapter 612 The Result of Continuous Exploration
I stared at Wang Dachun with a shocked look, almost unable to believe his ears. He actually mentioned... zombies! And he also said that it was the record of the early years of the Republic of China that I saw from the "Fubei County Chronicles" in the county archives. This means that it is not the first time that a zombie like Xiaosheng appeared in Xiaowan Village outside Lianghe Town! It had appeared many years ago. This news shocked me. It seems that the things at the bottom of the Chuan River outside Xiaowan Village are probably bigger than we imagined and have existed for a longer time... Wang Dachun saw that I reacted so fiercely, and when he heard him say the "zombies" in the "Fubei County Chronicles", the chopsticks in his hand fell on the dining table. He was also a little strange and shocked. "Angkor, what's wrong with you?"
Zeng Jin also stared at me, a little surprised. Yao Nan showed a cramped smile, blinked at me, and said, "Wu Chong, you must be scared by the stories told by Wang Dachun, right? In fact, although these terrible stories are recorded in the "Fubei County Chronicles", it seems to be the official history. But you have to know that ancient people would write randomly if they didn't understand science."
She thought I was scared and couldn't even hold the chopsticks. But Wang Dachun and Zeng Jin obviously wouldn't think so. According to Wang Dachun's idea, he probably thought that I was also a person who knew magic. He shouldn't be so shocked when he heard these weird stories that were mixed with real and fake, right? Sometimes, it was actually "ignorant fearless"! Because Wang Dachun didn't know the difference here, he thought that "living zombies" were like "drugs". Little did he know that the former was much more weird and evil than the weaker mountain monster like Drugs! I took a deep breath and covered up my disobedience. A smile appeared on my face: "It's nothing, I'm just distracted, I didn't hold the chopsticks. Have a good meal, don't talk about these scary things. Don't scare Yao Nan again, what should I do if I do?"
I picked up the chopsticks from the table and made a joke on purpose. Wang Dachun and Zeng Jin laughed. Yao Nan reached out and pinched my arm. "You're going to die! I'm so brave. That picnic was just an accident. Don't you say I've read it wrong? Humph."
I didn't mention this anymore. After the evening self-study, I asked Wang Dachun to wait first. After the lights of the teaching building were turned off, I walked with me, saying that there were some things on the way. This guy seemed to have noticed something, and he rubbed his hands several times and wanted to stop. When the other students were almost gone, the security guard of the teaching building came over to drive people away and was about to lock the door. I called Wang Dachun and walked towards the gate in the gradually dark campus... "Dachun, tell me about the zombie incident in Xiaowan Village that you saw in the "Fubei County Chronicles". Don't miss any details, do you know?"
I looked at him with a serious tone and a serious expression. Wang Dachun slapped his thigh, said "Hey", "Angkor, boss! I knew that there must be something here. When you were having supper in the cafeteria, you deliberately changed the topic, right?"
I raised my eyebrows: "Aren't you stupid?"
"Can you tell me what terrible things have happened in Two Rivers Town recently?"
This guy's expression was excited and eager to try. It seems that he is really brave! The last time the "god of a god" incident was almost done. He has not learned his lesson yet, and he is still very interested in these supernatural things. As the saying goes, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of a rope. Why do I feel that Wang Dachun was crazy about being bitten by a snake? "Ahem."
I waved my hand, "You should first talk about the specific situation and details of the living zombies recorded in the "Fubei County Chronicles". I will tell you after I finish talking."
"Okay Angkor!"
Wang Dachun continued to tell the strange story he saw in the book "Fubei County Chronicles"... It was probably the early years of the Republic of China, and the days were already very uneasy. In addition, after the war in the late Qing Dynasty, the entire land of China was still filled with wars. In such a chaotic world, life was like grass, and there were starving bones on the road. It was said that there was a grain merchant in Lianghe Town, named Xu Xinyi. He had a distant relative with a small warlord entrenched on the junction of Sichuan and Chongqing. So he relied on this relationship to buy some food in several nearby towns. Once, Xu Xinyi took a boat trip and took the Sichuan River Road to Dangkou Town downstream. He was not a big businessman. In addition to transporting grain himself, he hired a boatman and a helper on the boat. Three people took advantage of the night to get from the dock north of Lianghe Town.
When the boat sets off, it flows downstream along the water. When the boat goes to the waters near Xiaowan Village, it is the moon in the middle of the sky. The moonlight shines, illuminating the surroundings slightly, and the river surface is sparkling. The tall weeds on both sides and the mountains farther away show black shadows under the moonlight. Xu Xinyi passed the scholar exam in the Qing Dynasty. Although he failed the exam several times, he was still a child until the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. But in that era when illiterate people were traveling everywhere, he was definitely a cultural person. So when he was sailing on a moon night, he listened to the river water, looked at the distant mountains and the moon, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He walked out of the cabin and sat on the bow of the boat to drink. The boatman hesitated for a moment and persuaded him. "Our family, at night, the river is filled with fog and it is very cold. And you may see some unclean things in the water. You should go back to the cabin."
Xu Xinyi drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "In this world, warlords fight everywhere, and people are dying everywhere. What are you afraid of unclean things?"
He didn't believe in evil. After all, he often transported grain on this waterway, and nothing happened. The boatman smiled wryly: "Boss, you often hired my boat to take care of my business. That's why I kindly reminded you. I used to set off early in the morning and it was dark. This time you were in a hurry and set off at night. It's easy to sail on the Sichuan River this night..." Before he finished speaking, a man's voice suddenly sounded on the shore not far away, interrupting his words. "Is there anyone? Is there anyone on the boat? Can you take me all the way? Help!"
After hearing this, Xu Xinyi stood up and looked at the shore. With the moonlight, he could see a person waving his hands on the shore, as if he wanted to take a boat. Because the grain transport boat was not big, he would definitely not be driving in the middle of the river, just slightly leaning against the shore. So the distance was not far. Xu Xinyi asked the boatman to dock and asked the man to board the boat, which was also a favor. But the boatman shook his head and said with a somewhat unnatural expression. "Our family, this is the night. Normal people cannot appear by the river inexplicably, right? Even if there is a small village nearby, no one will come here at night. I think there is a problem! Let's not cause trouble, just leave quickly."
