Chapter 268: Him

Looking at the floating objects on the sea, getting closer and closer to the island with the washing of the seawater, not only did the hair on his hands stand up, but goosebumps all over his body also fell to the ground.

Looking, it became clearer.

At this time, he really wanted to dig out his own eyes, nothing to do, why is his vision so good?

Ye Huimei felt that the bag in her hand was almost full, looked up and searched, wanting to call her Third Brother or her father to help drag it, and saw her Third Brother standing there stupidly.

"Third Brother, what are you doing? What are you doing, hurry up and help me... ah..."

Ye Huimei said while turning her head to look in the direction of her Third Brother's gaze, instantly screamed, her face turned pale and white, and instantly closed her eyes tightly again.

"Don't look..." Ye Yaodong couldn't even say it, and she had already seen it.

Ye's father and mother were also startled by her scream, hurriedly looked up and asked concernedly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"What's wrong? Why are you startled? You girl, what's going on today? Why are you so loud..."

Ye's mother said complainingly, and at the same time walked out of the corner quickly towards Ye Huimei, "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Huimei had a crying face, eyes closed tightly, not daring to open them, and pointed at the sea casually, letting her mother see for herself.

Ye Yaodong blocked in front of his mother in advance, and said: "There is a male corpse floating on the sea in front, don't look, turn around."

Yang energy gathers on the face, men's faces are heavy, drowning faces must face down. Yin energy gathers on the back, so women's backs are heavy, drowning ones must face up.

So Ye Yaodong knew it was a male corpse at just one glance, and there were few women going to sea, those who died were generally men.

Ye's mother was also startled when she heard it, feeling her whole body a bit cold, hair standing on end, the voice of speaking was trembling, "Is... is it a corpse? Floating from our side?"

Ye's father just walked out from the reef pile, heard the conversation between the two, his heart also skipped a beat, and looked at the front.

Just one glance, he felt his scalp go numb instantly, his face also didn't look very good, "How... how did we encounter it?"

Encountering a corpse at sea, it's good news, and it could also be bad news.

People by the sea are very superstitious.

If you encounter a corpse at sea, if you are afraid and retreat, dare not approach, pretend not to see it and drive the boat away directly, then the ghost will follow you.

Because being able to encounter it, is also 'he' deliberately looking for you, if you are afraid and ignore it, then 'he' will keep pestering you, you will also have bad luck one after another, everything will not go smoothly, serious ones might be possessed, or even directly replace your life!

If you can endure the fear and disgust, salvage 'him' up, find an isolated island and bury 'him'...

On the contrary, you will get 'his' protection, have great luck, and good things will happen one after another.

The probability of encountering this is not high, but it's not impossible, walking by the river often, how can shoes not get wet...

Ye's father thought of this superstitious saying, Ye Yaodong also thought of it long ago, father and son stood together, silently looking at each other, temporarily neither of them spoke.

They are all ordinary people, it's normal to be afraid.

The corpse in front, with the washing of the sea waves, kept hovering at the edge of the isolated island, no matter how the sea waves hit, it couldn't roll 'him' back into the sea, just pushing 'him' towards the isolated island again and again, but couldn't let him strand.

Just kept moving forward and backward, forward and backward...

As if forcing the father and son to make a decision as soon as possible...

Ye's mother, although warned in advance, didn't see the corpse, but also felt a bit panicked in her heart, she opened her mouth and asked: "Then what should we do now?"

She associated it with a thing circulating in the village, and then hurriedly said in a panic: "That Lin Dashan couple who lived behind the village before, heard they encountered... encountered this at sea, originally thought of salvaging, as a result after approaching and netting it up, after seeing the face, they were scared and threw it back into the sea, and ran away directly, later within seven days, the couple... directly... gone..."

Ye's mother's face turned whiter the more she thought...

Ye Huimei was even more scared when she heard it, grabbing her mother's arm tightly.

A mother is strong, Ye's mother saw her daughter scared and closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes were still trembling, the hand grabbing her arm was also shaking there, she kept patting to comfort.

"It's okay, it's okay... don't be afraid... you don't think about it and it'll be fine, your father and your Third Brother are here, go, I'll take you to the corner to wait, don't stand here."

Ye Huimei nodded like a garlic, and followed her mother to the corner.

The incident happened in a moment, Ye Yaodong watched the corpse keep moving forward and backward, as if recognizing them, turned his head, swallowed his dry throat, and said: "Let's do it, Dad..."

Just now when seeing it, he was silent for a long time, not only was he startled by seeing the corpse, he also associated himself with 'him' in his previous life.

No matter what, he would bury 'him' anyway.

But burying is burying, he also needs some construction in his heart, he is just an ordinary person.

"Hmm, let's do it, let's do it, and bring the shovel, convenient to dig a hole later..."

"Just happened to drift to this island, drag it up, move it to the mountain to bury, also saving from salvaging, and don't need to get it onto the boat..."

"Hmm hmm, together first drag it up, saving from being rolled away by the waves again, then we'll be miserable."

"Nothing to be afraid of, anyway it's facing down..."

"Hmm hmm, nothing to be afraid of, burying people is also a merit."

Father and son encouraged each other and walked forward, but the closer they walked, the more panicked they felt, good thing they had a companion, one person would really be scared to death.

After walking close, they clearly saw the corpse swollen a big circle, still wrapped with many messy seaweed, and many insect eggs, and animals that were squirming, the skin exposed on the back of the neck had large patches of corpse spots, clearly showing it had been dead for a period of time.

Father and son looked at each other, their eyes clearly carried shock!

"Dad, one side each, walk towards that side..." Ye Yaodong swallowed his saliva and pointed in a direction while speaking.

Now the tide had receded quite a bit, the sand beach also exposed a large piece, Ye Yaodong turned his head and saw on their side, the island had a place without rocks, only gravel piles.

Dragging towards that side is more convenient to get up the mountain, the area exposed daily on the sand beach is too small, if buried on the sand beach, digging underneath is all water, not to mention, a few big waves will easily wash the corpse underneath up again, then we buried it in vain, dragging it to the mountain is more appropriate.

Father and son endured the disgust, borrowed the buoyancy of the water, and dragged the corpse towards the side of the isolated island.

Fortunately, both of them were wearing gloves. The corpse had just been dragged onto the beach, and the entire way it had slid, leaving behind continuous drag marks and peculiar water stains—slightly greenish and blackish—which were the corpse fluids left behind by the bloating and skin rupturing of the body as it soaked during the dragging...

And there were some white disgusting little animals.

Marine bacteria are actually very many, covering the whole corpse are sea lice, small arthropods.

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

Father and son endured not looking down and backward, and walked towards the mountain with courage.

Also didn't walk very far, just walked to a position where the waves couldn't hit, and the open space around was enough to dig a large pit.

The two threw the corpse into the corner, tried their best not to give even one look, still let "him" lie on his stomach, and then each took a shovel, trying hard to dig a pit.

This desert island hasn't been involved for a long time, trees are standing around, dense and dense, green trees are still green in the dead of winter, burying here can be considered a geomantic treasure land, directly facing the sea, they also have people by the sea who deliberately set cemeteries on the surrounding desert islands.

Father and son dug hard, have work to do, heart is not easy to mess around, also calmed down a lot, it's just that this soil is very tight, not very easy to dig, and they still don't have a hoe, only the shovel used for Tao sea.

Dug strenuously for nearly two hours, the two dug a large pit that could accommodate one person lying down.

"Almost there, right?"

Ye's father nodded, dug two more times and said: "Almost there, turn him over and put him down."

"Hmm..."

When things come to the end, there's nothing to be afraid of, all busy to the last step, stretching the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife.

Father and son walked towards the corpse, only after a while, the whole corpse was covered with white animals.

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

Instantly... in the dead of winter, father and son both exuded a cold sweat, scalp numb...

The two's eyes closed suddenly, and then their heads looked at the empty space beside.

"One... one side each... lift it down..."

Ye's father's speaking was also tongue-tied...

Ye Yaodong nodded in a panic, walked to the feet of the corpse, regardless of the disgusting things on 'him', with his father, one head, one foot lifted into the pit.

Then hurriedly used his hands to stir the soil, sprinkle it on 'him's face, first cover 'him' up, too damn scary...

By the way, shake off the small animals on his hands first.

Father and son pushed the soil just dug out back down, until the corpse was completely covered, and there was a mound of soil on the ground, only then did the two let out a breath.

Ye Yaodong took off the gloves on his hands, threw them aside and said to Ye's father: "Dad, you go to the boat and take three sticks of incense, I'll wait here, by the way bring the noodles and dried mussels over."

Ye's father nodded, "I'll go fast and return fast."

"Hmm, call your mother and younger sister over too, and let's just bow to show our respects."

Just in case, they all have incense on the boat.

After burying the person, Ye Yaodong's heart also settled, not afraid anymore, he put his hands together, muttering in his mouth: "Old brother, since we encountered, I definitely gave you a place to settle, hope you have everything go smoothly in the next life, great wealth and great honor..."

After praying for a while, not long after his father brought his mother and younger sister who were still shocked.

He comforted her, "It's alright, don't be afraid. It has already been buried properly; let's just offer some incense and bow, and that will be enough."

Both nodded.

Ye's father placed the noodles and dried mussels brought in front of the grave, and also placed a bowl of tea, "Brother, we don't have any decent sacrifices on the boat, you make do with it..."

Ye Yaodong took out the lighter from his pocket, lit three sticks of incense, the whole family bowed three times together, inserted them in front of the grave, and he put his hands together and bowed three times again.

Then he said to his family: "Let's go, it's okay." ===== CHAPTER 269 =====
