Chapter 195

In this world, there are many industries. As the saying goes, every line makes a champion. But today, I'm going to talk about the business. It's estimated that many people have never heard of it. Even if they have heard of it, they still feel very mysterious.

That's the body fisherman.

A corpse fisherman on the Yangtze River.

……

The Yangtze River.

The Yangtze River originates in the Tanggula mountains of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. The main stream flows through 11 provinces and flows into the East China Sea to the east of Chongming Island, Shanghai, with a total length of 6387 kilometers. Among the major rivers in the world, the length is second only to the Nile in Africa and the Amazon in South America, ranking third in the world.

For a river with such a long span, people living along the river have always spread many mysterious legends about the Yangtze River.

It is said that there was once a big bird in the Three Gorges basin in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, with a wingspan of hundreds of meters and a shadow everywhere when it flew. The bird, called Dawu, fell like a mountain. It was ten or twenty feet tall without legs. It likes to catch a strange fish in the Yangtze River. The strange fish is like a small whale. It is more than ten meters long and black all over.

But from time to time, Dawu will also take away the humans living along the coast as snacks.

Under the leadership of a wise man in the Three Gorges, human beings gathered hundreds of tribes. It took 50 years to finally find Dawu's nest. Humans can't kill Dawu, but they found Dawu's eggs in the nest.

The bird's egg is twenty meters long and three people tall.

The wise man ordered everyone to take out tools and break the bird's eggs.

But the bird egg said it was strange. It grew when it saw the wind and became bigger when it was attacked. It was like a mountain in an instant. The wise man was in a hurry. He cut down wood and burned the mountain, and finally burned the hard shell of the bird's egg. Then beat it with tools, the bird's egg broke, and the egg white and egg yolk flowed into the Yangtze River.

The original clear water of the Yangtze River has become muddy due to pollution. From then on, it will never be as clear as before.

And Dawu finally left because he lost his bird's egg.

There is also a legend that a dragon is locked under the Yangtze River. The evil dragon, harming one side, tossed clouds and rain in the water. Whenever a fishing boat catches fish on the river, the dragon will flip the fishing boat, tilt its head and chew its mouth, and swallow the fisherman who fell into the water.

The fishermen were so frightened that they dared not enter the Yangtze River to fish again.

Until thousands of years ago, a Taoist expert passed by. He subdued the dragon and locked the dragon under the Yangtze River with nine copper chains. Thirteen tokens were made of gold, and each token was different. But without exception, the tokens are carved with complicated patterns, which is very beautiful.

The Taoist left a message saying that the thirteen tokens must not be dug out from the bottom of the Yangtze River to see the light, otherwise there will be disaster for those who don't just dig the tokens. The evil dragon will break free from the seal and continue to be a villain in the world.

The Yangtze River has a long water and a wide waterway. As one of the two main rivers in the birthplace of civilization, too many evil things have happened in the Yangtze River. There are too many folk stories that can't be studied.

For example, all kinds of water monsters in the river, King Jinsha, King iron coffin dragon, giant turtle, alligator dragon, walking dragon and other mysterious biological deeds.

True or false, who can tell!

And the beginning of the whole thing, now think about it carefully, still want to start from the trade of corpse fisherman in the Yangtze River.

It's not unusual for a corpse fisherman. Such a profession will be born wherever there are big rivers. Because people have such instincts, they have lived by water since ancient times. As the saying goes, they depend on mountains and water. People who depend on the river will naturally find a way to survive on the river.

There will be a ghost when you walk more at night. Moreover, there are more people going down the river to look for food. Naturally, there will be many boat and water difficulties. Therefore, in ancient times, in the Yangtze River Basin, especially in the Three Gorges area, corpse Fishers were usually used as fiber trackers on both sides of the river. These trackers could earn some outside water to supplement their families.

But the modern economy has grown, and the business of trackers has disappeared. However, the business of corpse fishers has improved, and even many companies on both sides of the Yangtze River have turned it into their main business.

Why?

Because more and more people are dying in the Yangtze River. Some are lovelorn, some are under economic pressure, and some are suffering from depression.

Finally, they were all invested in the water of the ten thousand mile river.

Behind every suicide, there are several grieving families. Chinese people pay attention to peace in the land. They live to see people and die to see corpses. Only when a drowning ghost has to go ashore can his family be secure.

This directly gave birth to the professionalization of the Yangtze River corpse fishers.

Located on the Yangtze River, Chongcheng is an important inland town with a population of nearly 30 million. Gong Quan and Wen Zhu were subordinate to Yangtse Yanshi salvage company.

The day before yesterday, the company received a commission. After investigation and exploration, the company thought it was not difficult, so it only sent these two people and a boat to makougou.

They took a boat out of the river early in the morning, and the steam raised by the speedboat kept beating on their faces.

Gong, nearly 45, was dark all over. He smelled the water vapor on the Yangtze River and looked at the sky.

"Today's weather is good and cloudless. I don't think it will rain. " Wen Zhu, in his fifties and twenties, looked up at the sky with a smile.

Gong Quan shook his head: "Zhuwu, you are still too young. The weather on the Yangtze River changes as it changes. Just when the sun is still shining, there will be a rain cloud right away, which will beat you into a drowned chicken. But the weather is nothing. The water in the Yangtze River channel is the most evil and unpredictable. "

"Brother Quan, with your old career, I'm afraid of a shovel." Wen Zhuwu took out his ears carelessly. As a young man, he really didn't like the preaching of middle-aged people.

What's more, he has a professional diving license. What water has he never dived in the domestic rivers? Yangtze River waterway, count a ball.

Gong Quan also knew that the young people didn't like listening to these, so he smiled and talked about the new order received by the company the other day: "have you read the information for today's task?"

"Look, when a young girl took the harvest cruise ship, she didn't know what disease she had, and suddenly jumped off the roof of the cruise ship." Wen Zhuwu said, "our company judged that the girl's body should be involved in the undercurrent along the Yangtze River. Finally, the body will sink to the bottom of the river before the soul chasing swing in makougou. We just need to look for the whole soul hunt. We should be able to find the body. "

Seeing that Gong Quan's face was not very good-looking, Wen Zhuwu asked, "brother Quan, you don't seem very happy. Clearly, the way of life this time should be relatively simple. "

Gong Quan shook his head, "Zhuwu, you don't know. The boundary of makougou is very evil. Strange things often happen. "

"Really?" Wen Zhuwu suddenly became interested: "for example, what happened?"

"Forget it, even if you young people don't believe it, they also say that we middle-aged people are superstitious." Gong Quan waved his hand: "it's almost here. Check the equipment."
