Chapter 6 Female Bamboo Corpse

  It was the right time for a meal, and in no time at all, the tables around us were filled with people. There are quite a lot of people who come here to eat, which shows that the food here should be delicious and not too expensive.   "Xingye? Long time no see?" A man warmly walked by to greet Sun Xingye.   Sun Xingye turned around and immediately got up to shake hands with the man, "Brother Zhao! It's really been a long time! How have you been lately?"   The man nodded and said, "I'm still the same as always, I've been in the business of acquiring bamboo, I heard about your sister ...... How is it? Is there any news now?"   Sun Xingye look dark, "or not, the police have been looking for more than a month, is not alive dead body, my parents day by day worried about the dead!"   The man patted Sun Xingye shoulders, "Do not be too anxious, things have been encountered, you have to wait slowly, you can not collapse now, your family can now count on you!"   I was listening to the two of them, when I heard that this man was acquiring bamboo, I pushed Sun Xingye with my hand, signaling him to introduce me, Sun Xingye immediately understood what I meant.   "Brother Zhao, this is a friend of mine named Zhang Jinbao." After saying that, he said to me, "Jinbao, Brother Zhao is a big brother I've known for many years!"   I busily took the initiative to extend my hand to shake hands with this Brother Zhao, "Hello Brother Zhao!"   "Listening to the accent you are from the north, okay, you are a friend of Xingye from now on you are my friend!" Brother Zhao said boldly.   The three of us laughed and sat down together, Sun Xingye also asked the waiter to add a set of bowls and chopsticks, and added a bottle of beer.   "Brother Zhao, you're in the business of acquiring bamboo, there's something I'd like to ask you about." I came up and got straight to the point.   Brother Zhao took a bite of his food, "You tell me, as long as I know I'll definitely tell you."   Sun Xingye and I looked at each other and said, "Brother Zhao, do you know that there are people who will write down words on bamboo?"   "Write down words?" Brother Zhao searched for a moment and said, "There are a few people who write on those bamboos that I acquired, that's to mark the bamboos that are ready to be cut, but it's the first time I've heard of writing down words."   I heard a burst of disappointment in my heart, but just when I thought that this time there was no chance, I saw that Zhao suddenly tapped his head and said, "Hey? Could you be talking about the word Bian?"   Sun Xingye and I both looked at him with a blank face, as soon as he saw that we didn't understand he dipped his hand into a bit of beer in the cup and wrote two characters on the table, "Look, this is the character for lower, and this is the character for Bian."   I was enlightened, Zhao was right, it was the character "Bian"! Because Sun Xingmei was close to fainting at that time, her eyes were very blurred, which made me mistake the character "Bian" for "Xia".   After I realized the reason, I excitedly took Zhao's hand and said with excitement: "Zhao! Do you know who writes this character in the character for forest?"   Brother Zhao looked at Sun Xingye and I with some confusion, and although he didn't know why we were so excited, he still said to us, "I know! Bian Hailiang's family's forest, his family's forest is far away from here, but I know how to go ......"   Tonight's moon is big and round, and the news says it's a "supermoon" that doesn't happen once every few decades. But Sun Xingye and I do not have the mood in this ghostly bamboo forest to enjoy the moon.   After all, Sun Xingye is a local, Zhao said he knew the specific location of this bamboo forest. Just like Zhao said, it is too far away from where we live! Sun Xingye drove his pickup truck overnight pulling me to run for more than an hour to find.   Listening to Sun Xingye said, their place to this season of rain is very much, so this place is also known as the "rainy city" this nickname. But this evening, but the sky is clear, overhead a large super moon to us around the bright, I do not know whether Sun Xingmei in the netherworld also hope that we can quickly find her body it?   Once the pickup truck to the foot of the mountain can not run further, the rest of the road we can only rely on their own 11 road. In fact, I am a person who seldom walks at night, one reason is because I am timid and afraid of the dark since childhood. Another reason is that my cousin uncle once said to me: your eight characters are too special, going out in the dark is easy to attract unclean things! So I seldom go out at night when I'm fine.   I do not know how long Sun Xingye and I walked in this forest path, until we saw a thick bamboo with red paint written on the word Bian, we are sure that we finally found.   As soon as I saw the "Bian" character on the bamboo, I immediately recognized this place, this is the bamboo forest where Sun Xingmei was killed .......   I looked around this sea of forest, and then slowly closed my eyes to feel with my heart ...... A few moments later I slowly opened my eyes, raised my hand and pointed and said, "In the northwest!"   After hearing this, Sun Xingye nodded to me with a grateful face, and then we ran together in that direction. I didn't run far before I smelled a pungent stench, it seemed that we weren't far from Sun Xingmei.   The closer we got to the corpse the stronger my feeling became, I could relate to every mental activity of Sun Xingmei before she died. She was so scared and desperate, she kept calling her brother Sun Xingye in her heart, hoping that he would come to save himself ...... But now when her brother really found her, she was already a disfigured corpse.   Sun Xingye was the first to see the body, he just stood there stupidly. I know he didn't have the courage to walk over, he was afraid that this corpse was really his sister Sun Xingmei.   The air in the bamboo forest is very humid, Sun Xingmei's body has long been corrupted black, from afar it looks like a piece of bacon that has changed in quality, the closer the more pungent the smell, I am also the first time so close to observe a body that has rotted into this state.   To be honest, at that time, if it was not in my heart can not bear to see Sun Xingmei parents that look forward to the eyes, I really do not have the courage to walk over.   "Is this Xingmei?" Sun Xingye, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked me.   I understand why he asked me this, if I am an ordinary person, not to mention that I do not know Sun Xingmei, even if I know her, it is useless, because this corpse has been corroded can not see what she was like in life.   But I know that this is Sun Xingmei, although some cruel, but I can only nod heartlessly, perhaps now only the truth can let their pain have an end ......   Sun Xingye kept taking deep breaths, he tried to calm himself down. "Call the police ...... Yes, call the police now!" But his trembling hands could no longer use the cell phone properly.   Finally or I took out my cell phone and dialed 110.But the signal here is too poor, even played a few times can not get through, I had no choice but to walk out of this bamboo forest with Sun Xingye first, to the signal is good place to play again.
