forget the soul

I walked eastward along the river for a rest, but I couldn’t figure out what was going on. The riverside was full of people, some of them looked like villagers, some were dressed as tourists, and some were anti-camera and holding cameras. There was a lot of noise.Yu Rong searched carefully, looking for brother Fang running around in the crowd, Yu Rong called him.

Little Brother Fang saw Yu Rong and ran up to him. He was overjoyed at first, then surprised. He looked at him carefully, looked at Lin Wangyue, and wondered, "Where did you two go? The phone can't get through either! If it wasn't for going out There is a murder case, I want to report to the police as missing!"

Lin Wangyue and Yu Rong looked at each other, almost saying in unison: "Homicide?"

Brother Xiao Fang clapped his hands and stomped his feet: "Something big happened!"

Yu Rong suddenly grabbed Brother Fang's arm: "Wait a minute, we...haven't been missing for seven days... or seven years?"

Lin Wangyue was amused by him, Xiao Fang frowned: "Director, what do you mean?"

Lin Wangyue patted Yu Rong and showed him her mobile phone. How could seven days, or even seven years, have passed in one fell swoop.It was less than 24 hours before they entered Bamei.

Lin Wangyue's mobile phone was turned on in silent mode, with sufficient battery power, and the screen saver was a black and white photo. The camera captured an old lady sitting upright, well-dressed, and kind-hearted.The screen showed that Lin Wangyue had [-] missed calls from the same number. At this time, another call came in from that number.Lin Wangyue put away her phone.He didn't answer the phone and stood with his hands in his pockets.Yu Rong looked at him, and four words came out of his mouth: "You have a phone..."

Lin Wangyue shrugged and said nothing.

Yu Rong scratched his scalp and laughed dryly. When he spoke to Xiao Fang again, his voice was much softer: "Then what kind of murder happened? What are you all doing around the river?"

Little Brother Fang dragged Yu Rong and Lin Wangyue away from the crowd, and went to a quiet place to talk under the shade of a tree.

"Do you still remember the man with the mountaineering bag?" He blocked himself between Yu Rong and Lin Wangyue, rounded his eyes, glanced at Lin Wangyue, at Yu Rong, and made a throwing motion in the air, " He jumped into the river...and died!"

Lin Wangyue asked, "Did someone see him jump into the river?"

Brother Xiao Fang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's the girl from the old Feng's family! Last night I kept vigil for Bro until one o'clock, and I was going home to rest. I was looking for the way with a flashlight. Passing by the river, I saw One person, wondering who it was, and then I saw that person jumping into the river! She was terrified! Old Feng carried her to Granny Bai."

Yu Rong asked: "Go to Grandma Bai... to summon the soul?"

Lin Wangyue said, "Has the soul been scared away?"

"It's okay to scare away, but I'm afraid I'll be scared to death! Why don't you find Granny Bai to summon his soul!" Brother Xiao Fang tugged Yu Rong again, his eyes glistening, "Do you know why he died?"

Yu Rong peeked at the river and said, "If you jump into the river, you will be drowned. How can you die?"

Lin Wangyue muttered: "I heard that if the courage is frightened, the soul can also be frightened?"

Brother Xiao Fang said: "There is no saying that the soul is scattered!" He also said: "It's not as simple as drowning!" As he said, Brother Fang shrank his neck, raised his right hand, covered his mouth halfway, and wanted to drown himself. As if revealing some secret, Yu Rong's expression became more and more secretive, and Yu Rong couldn't help shrinking his body, clinging to Brother Fang, swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva.

Brother Xiao Fang said: "If people jump into the river, they will float! The point is, this man, do you remember his backpack? His backpack is full of stones! One by one!" Brother Fang said in the air. Than stones, one after another, small ones, big ones, huge ones, all bigger than his head.

He followed up and said, "So... guess what?"

Yu Rong asked along, "What's the matter?"

Lin Wangyue didn't make a sound, straightened her back, straightened her neck and looked towards the river.

Brother Xiaofang's voice brightened: "He! It turned out to be a fugitive! He murdered someone and fled in fear of crime! He! He came from Dali, and their family opened a small hotel on the Erhai Lake. It was just him and his mother. For a week, he killed his mother!"

Yu Rong raised his head and couldn't help looking at the river.

Lin Wangyue asked softly, "Why did he die here?"

Xiao Fang said, "Who knows." He asked, "Do you have breakfast? Do you eat soybean powder?"

Yu Rong exclaimed, he remembered, that newspaper - the newspaper that the backpacker hid in his backpack pocket, showed him, but didn't show him!

Bamei is an unknown paradise.

Yu Rong returned to the crowded place and tried his best to squeeze to the front.Standing here, you can see people in police uniforms, and you can also see a yellow cordon pulled by people to separate the crowd from the two pieces of white cloth on the river beach.

One of the two white cloths is made of plastic, on which there are many stones arranged in an orderly manner according to their size. Mountaineering bag——Yu Rong recognized it, it was the backpacker's mountaineering bag, the middle-aged man was taking out rocks from the mountaineering bag, took out one piece, compared the size, and put it in a suitable position on the cloth; the other piece of white cloth was It was covered on a stretcher, and the white cloth bulged slightly. The wind came and blew away a corner of the white cloth on the stretcher. A mother walked away with her child, muttering: "Don't look at it, don't look at it! What does a dead person have?" It’s beautiful! What kind of dead people are you going to travel to see!”

The police also chanted: "Nothing to see, nothing to see!"

Some of them were chasing the crowd, some were looking for something in the grass by the river, and some surrounded two people in diving suits under a row of green trees along the river, and they were interviewed by a female reporter together.

Those who resisted the cameras and held them up were either TV stations or newspaper reporters, with work IDs hanging around their necks. Yu Rong greeted Lin Wangyue and said, "Lend me your cell phone!"

Lin Wangyue refused loudly: "I don't want to have videos of dead people in my mobile phone."

Yu Rong looked at him seriously, Lin Wangyue was determined, and he would not give it if he said no. In the end, he went far away, sitting on a big rock, lighting and eating cigarettes.

Yu Rong looked for Brother Fang, who also squeezed into the front row, and there were three people between him.Yu Rong wanted to borrow his mobile phone, but the words came to his lips and swallowed.Brother Xiaofang is broadcasting live, with [-] people online, and he is still bullish. Big planes fly by on the phone screen from time to time.

Yu Rong had no choice but to take pictures. He stood, squatted, knelt down, took pictures from a distance, and zoomed in. After clicking the shutter many times, the stretcher covered with white cloth was lifted by two policemen. Getting up, they walked towards the pier.The crowd moved with the stretchers, and the cordon moved with the crowd.Little Brother Fang chased the stretcher and escaped from the main force, and Yu Rong followed him.The two bypassed the cordon and ran up to the pier where the boat was parked. The stretcher was close in front of them, and two other policemen rushed over to stop them, preventing them from getting closer. One of them yelled and snatched Brother Fang's cell phone: "Live broadcast, live broadcast, live broadcast! Dead people have nothing to live broadcast! Go back, go back!"

Little Brother Fang approached the police with a playful smile: "Officer, listen to your accent, you are from Dali, right?" He pointed to himself and Yu Rong: "This is a director, he and I, and the two of us are on the same boat with that person." Come in, just yesterday morning!"

The two police officers looked at each other when they heard the words. The one holding Xiao Fang's mobile phone was a younger policeman who asked first, "Did he say anything to you?"

Brother Xiao Fang said: "I told you, he said he has been to Myanmar, Vietnam, Shangri-La and so on."

The stretcher was carried onto the boat, and the wind on the river blew towards it, pressing tightly on the white cloth, under which a silhouette of a person appeared.

Yu Rong said: "I thought he was just an ordinary backpacker."

Another policeman squinted at Rong: "Are you the director?"

Yu Rong said: "I'm here to shoot a documentary, and I brought a video camera, and I'm sitting there smoking a cigarette." He roughly pointed in the direction where Lin Wangyue might be, and he was still staring at the willow-leaf boat where the stretcher was parked.

The boatman pushed the boat away, and the boat drifted away from the pier, heading towards the middle of the river.

Brother Xiao Fang raised his chin: "Is he from Dali or from other places? He usually likes to run around."

"Did he say anything else? Did he mention his family?" asked the young policeman.

Brother Xiao Fang said: "I haven't mentioned it. I think he doesn't have a good relationship with his family, and he doesn't have any friends. Otherwise, why would you travel alone? Our Lin camera still doesn't open any pots, which pots are there, I kept asking him why he didn't come home."

Yu Rong said: "My camera speaks more directly..." He looked at the policeman, "Could it be his words that irritated him? When he thinks of home, he just..."

Both policemen were silent.Brother Xiao Fang leaned over and said, "What do you think he is doing with the rocks in his backpack? I saw it yesterday, his bag is very heavy!"

The young policeman thought of something and asked, "When we got to the village, did you see which direction he was going?"

Xiao Fang hurriedly said: "He left by himself after getting off the boat! Walking along the river, I saw him pick up a stone and put it in his pocket!" He picked up a stone on the ground, "It's just that big, Just put it in your pocket. You don't think he'll hang around the river all day?"

The boat sailed away.

Brother Xiao Fang is still asking: "Is there no one else in his family? Just him and his mother?"

The young policeman stared at him, then got angry again, and chased them away in a rough voice: "It's alright, alright, let's all go back, what should we do?"

He drove them off the pier, and then returned the phone to brother Fang.Yu Rong stepped on the rocky beach by the river, and suddenly sighed: "His rocks... Did he pick them up all the way from Dali?"

The young policeman became impatient: "Can't you understand people's language? Let's go!"

Little Brother Fang tugged at Yu Rong's sleeve, Yu Rong stood sideways, staring at the willow-leaf boat going away, without moving, Little Fang slipped away first, the young policeman glared at Yu Rong and continued to scold, Another policeman said: "A native of Dali, he has never been out of Dali in his life. This is the first time he has left Dali."

Yu Rong walked away.He wants to leave here immediately.

Brother Xiao Fang was standing not far away, saw Yu Rong approaching, and called him: "Director, come here, say hello to everyone! You are also one of the witnesses, director, director, you said that the one with the backpack is Didn't he kill someone because he couldn't see it at all? Talking to him, he still smiled, didn't he?"

He enthusiastically pulled Yu Rong, and started the live broadcast again. The camera had already turned to Yu Rong, but Yu Rong avoided it and said, "How can I pay you the fee?"

Xiao Fang pulled Yu Rong, locked the screen, and deliberately tried to persuade him to stay: "Leave now?? Don't you stay for a few more days? Bro, are you not going to interview?"

Yu Rong said, "There are other arrangements."

He glanced at the shore, and the middle-aged man who was half squatting to take out rocks from his backpack stood up, picked up his backpack, and shook it upside down.

Brother Xiao Fang was concerned and said: "Director, where did you go last night? Are you not hungry or cold?"

"I just walked around in the mountains, but it was too late. I found a cave and made do with it for the night. Fortunately, there were some biscuits in my bag." Yu Rong said, his stomach growling.

Brother Xiao Fang said: "Then let's have breakfast at home!"

Yu Rong laughed, touched his stomach, and still wanted to leave: "No, no, I really have to go."

He walked faster and faster, and came back to Lin Wangyue. Lin Wangyue was smoking, looked at him, and asked, "Did you get a dead person?"

Yu Rong said, "Let's go, let's go back to Guangnan."

Brother Xiao Fang followed him, originally quietly, but suddenly lowered his voice, looked at Yu Rong, and said, "Then...see you?"

Yu Rong thought for a while: "I guess..."

"No, this matter can't be counted, it can't be made up with, if you see it, you see it, if you don't see it, you don't see it, or I will take you to find Granny Bai now."

Yu Rong's desire to leave became more and more serious. He lifted the tripod, shook his head and waved his hands, walking quickly and hurriedly, and went straight to the pier.Brother Xiao Fang stopped him: "Don't go out from here, but from another cave. The route of the scenic spot is arranged like this."

"Then this cave can also go out?"

"Yes, but you spent 100 yuan, just looking at one cave is not worth it! I will find you a carriage. You have to take the carriage first, and you have to change the carriage several times. You can see two more caves at once! "

Lin Wangyue said: "Our director doesn't like the big giveaway the most. He came to shoot the souls of dead people. As a result, God sent him two more dead people. He was at a loss and wanted to run away."

Yu Rong said loudly: "Then just go out from here if you can go out here, we are in a hurry!"

Brother Xiao Fang stopped trying to persuade him, stopped, rubbed his hands, didn't smile or speak.Yu Rong took out the money and counted six hundred to him.Brother Xiao Fang took the money, his smile gradually came back, and he said, "That's fine, just wait!"

After a break, he brought a villager with a bamboo hat on his head, and brought two bowls of bean flour for Yu Rong and the others to feed their hunger on the road.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you! Thank you, thank you so much, I will let you know when the movie is ready!" Yu Rong took the bean powder, smiled politely, shook hands with Brother Fang, and then boarded the boat without looking back .Lin Wangyue followed her into the boat, stood at the bow, and waved goodbye to Brother Fang.

The boat leaves the shore.Yu Rong sat with his backpack in his arms.After a break, he said, "I'm not feeling well, so I want to go first."

Lin Wangyue didn't make a sound, came over to get a bowl of bean flour, found a spoon, and while it was hot, took the spoon and snorted to send the bean flour to his mouth. Seeing this, Yu Rong scooped up a spoonful of the batter and ate it, blowing it for a long time Put it in his mouth, and with this spoonful, his appetite was whetted, and he ate with great enthusiasm.

They returned to the ticket office in Bamei by the same route, found a van, gathered enough eight people, and set off for Guangnan. When they arrived at Guangnan County, they just caught up with the bus to Kunming. The time was tight and there was no waste. , When they arrived at Kunming Station, and then at the North Railway Station, they had to wait.While resting in the waiting room, Yu Rong went to buy an evening newspaper, and the news had already come out: Xanadu Dammei found that the suicide was a fugitive who killed his mother in cold blood, and he made another contribution by watching the sky!

Yu Rong took the newspaper and walked to the nearby charging socket, where Lin Wangyue was holding a family bucket and looking at a pile of chargers.Yu Rong grabbed a chicken wing from the family bucket, took two bites, and asked, "Is your mother the phone wallpaper?"

"How could my mother be so old?" Lin Wangyue tilted her shoulders and pressed against the wall, "It's my grandma."

"Oh."

"died."

"Oh..." Yu Rong scratched the bridge of his nose, continued to eat chicken wings, and continued to read the story of the fugitive who committed suicide in the fairyland on earth.

The absconded criminal sank to the bottom of the river carrying a backpack of stones, and the body was salvaged ashore after two hours and 15 minutes of efforts by two divers.

Strangely, the stones in his backpack weighed as much as his body weight.

Oddly enough, he might be Bamei who walked on foot.

Yu Rong threw the chicken bone, picked up the phone and pressed it, the battery was enough to turn it on, and when the signal bar was full, he searched for hotels in Shanghai.

"Let's book for four days first?" He calculated, "If we arrive tonight, one day will be counted. Then, I will contact A Peng by the way to sort out the material and see how A Peng will arrange it. One day, I will go back to Suzhou, take a suitcase, and see if there is anything to buy, Thailand is about [-] degrees recently, and then...or five days?"

Lin Wangyue responded lightly and did not reply.Yu Rong looked up at him, Lin Wangyue was looking up at the ceiling, and he followed his gaze.What he saw was a semicircular, cold black bead - a surveillance camera in the corner of the train station.

It resembles a person's half-open or half-closed eyes.It watched silently, without making a sound.

Yu Rong wiped his hands, turned on the video recording function of his phone, held his hands steady, and took a picture of the camera from a distance.
