Chapter 195 (2/2)
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.”
