I climbed up the mountain in one breath and hid behind the big rocks, not daring to move. I was panting heavily and my face was covered with sweat.
There were many people in the square, and I could hear dogs barking, so I peeked carefully.
The burglary hole in the building must have been discovered. I saw that someone had put up a reflective cordon, and a dozen flashlights were shining randomly back and forth in Ziwei Square.
At first, only one police car came, and then two more came. I was not familiar with Nanshan. I didn’t dare to run up the mountain in such a cold weather, let alone go down the mountain. My hands and ears were red with cold, and I couldn’t feel anything.
.
I kept hiding and not daring to move until dawn.
At that time, the outdoor temperature in Bin City was more than ten degrees below zero, which is how I got frostbite. In 2005 and 2006, for two consecutive years, my hands began to suffer from frostbite in winter. I kept applying snake oil ointment to it, but it didn't work.
I went to a Chinese medicine doctor and prescribed some medicine to recover.
....
Around eight o'clock in the morning, many people gathered in the square, all standing outside the police cordon to watch.
After the news spread, people from all over the country came one after another. Primary school students squeezed into the crowd because people were dug out and dead.
I remember a girl was so frightened that she covered her eyes when she saw a dead person. She was afraid and wanted to see, so she secretly exposed her fingers.
Since everyone was looking at the square and no one was paying attention, I sneaked down the mountain, mixed in with the crowd, bought a hat from a young man for ten yuan and put it on.
In fact, the Bin City Fire Department came at around 2 o'clock last night and had been cleaning out the stolen cave at the risk of a second collapse. The first person to be carried out in the morning was Ma Aiping. The doctor just looked at it and covered it with a white cloth.
Maybe many people have never had the opportunity to see with their own eyes what it would be like if a person were buried alive.
Let me tell you, people who are buried alive and suffocated have a purple face, their eyes are closed, their mouths are slightly open, and there is dirt on the corners of their mouths. This is what Ma Aiping looks like.
I didn't see Yang Kun's face. He was covered up directly. One of his hands was hanging outside the stretcher. I could recognize him because of the clothes he was wearing.
After watching for a while, Tingting and the water pump were nowhere to be seen.
I had an idea at the time, thinking to myself: "Are Tingting and Water Pump okay? Did they run away? Did they hide in the underground palace?"
but.....
Around eleven o'clock, I saw the water pump first.
Around eleven o'clock, I saw the fat girl Tingting.
Afraid of causing a disturbance, the doctor quickly covered it with a white cloth, but many people still saw it, and the crowd immediately started talking.
A young man next to me said: "Hello? Have you seen that dead fat girl? Her arms are still standing up. She looks like she is trying to catch something. It's scary to death."
Another person said: "It's not that bad. I just saw it. It's just like Aunt Mei in the old ghoul movie."
"What the hell? Who is Aunt Mei?"
"Aunt Mei, you don't know? She is a ghost who lives in the water, and her face is covered with maggots. Aunt Mei's hand is raised, and she has to wear a bracelet to put it down."
"Stop it, don't fucking scare me."
...
I lowered the brim of my hat, lowered my head, and squeezed out of the crowd.
Tian Sanjiu is right. He asked me to do this job with him because he probably really wanted me to learn something called "ruthlessness".
I don’t want to learn, I don’t want to learn, and I don’t know how to learn.
Baotou is Baotou, Tian Sanjiu is Tian Sanjiu.
I, Xiang Yunfeng, am Xiang Yunfeng!
The reason why I started this business was just to make money.
Returning to Guanzhong has nothing to do with me. People like Beipai Huiguan Tian Sanjiu will be shot if caught. Why should I become such a person? Absolutely.
At the same time I also know.
Tingting is not Aunt Mei from the old corpse in the mountain village. She is neither scary nor a ghost. The reason why she stretches out her hand is because the real situation is that Shui Pump hugged her when she was dug out.
When a person dies, it’s cold and his arms are stiff, so he can’t let go.
I only knew Shui Pump Tingting briefly for a few days. It's strange that after so many years, I still think of her from time to time. Sometimes I just watch the movie "The Old Corpse in the Village" to reminisce.
In Tian Sanjiu's eyes, Water Pump Tingting is just a big ant, and if she is trampled to death, it is just a matter of convenience.
Huang Mao and Wei Xiaogang absconded with cultural relics, everything was according to Tian Sanjiu's plan.
Luofanshan was in a wheelchair for three years because of the Blackwater City incident. Tian Sanjiu persuaded my woman to make the Northern Shaanxi Cultural Relics Bureau in chaos for three years.
It's like the butterfly effect.
The second step of Tian Sanjiu's three-year plan has just begun.
I said in hindsight that the old scholar should not have pursued Luo Kashan in the first place.
