When Li Sanjiang carried Li Zhuiyuan home, the sky was just turning white.

Cui Guiying took the child over, and Li Sanjiang talked to Li Weihan for a while before leaving.

Li Zhuiyuan was placed on the mat, his eyes closed for a while and then opened again.

He couldn't sleep, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the little oriole dancing in the fish pond again.

Cui Guiying and Li Weihan never went into the back room to rest, but sat in the kitchen.

The woman kept rubbing her fingers until they turned red; the man kept smoking hookah, one pot after another.

Looking at the already bright sky, Cui Guiying stood up and said, "I'll make breakfast for you guys first."

Li Weihan blew out a puff of smoke and said, "It's a bit early to smoke."

Cui Guiying had to sit down again and looked at her man: "How long will it take?"

"Waiting for notification."

"Who will inform?"

Li Weihan did not answer, but continued to suck on his cigarette holder.

After sitting for a while, there was a knock on the door:

"Marquis Guiying, Marquis Guiying."

It's my next door neighbor, Zhao Simei.

Li Weihan puffed on his hookah and said, "The notice has arrived."

Cui Guiying stood up, yawned and rubbed her eyes as she opened the door, wondering: "What's the matter, Simeihou?"

Zhao Simei reached out and grabbed Cui Guiying's arm and shook it hard:

"Someone in the Bearded family has died!"

"What?"

"Two of them are dead. Big Beard and his youngest son were just seen floating in the fish pond at home. Everyone went to see them. Come on, let's go and see them together!"

"Walk!"

Before going out, Cui Guiying shouted to the back room: "Yinghou, the rice is ready, you can make breakfast later."

"I got it, milk."

After receiving the response, Cui Guiying and Zhao Simei went out together.

Li Weihan waited for a while, touched the opened cigarettes in his pocket, put the hookah on the table, and went out.

Zhao Simei's previous knock on the door had actually woken up the children. Knowing that something terrible had happened, the children also got up and ran out to watch the fun.

No matter how much Yingzi shouted from behind, "Brush your teeth and wash your face," you couldn't call her back.

At this time, the fish pond of Big Beard's house was full of people, and villagers were constantly coming here on the village road, including men, women, old and young, dragging their families with them.

There were two corpses floating on the fish pond, and no one was taking care of them, even though there was a small boat parked by the pond.

Although the Bearded family has a bad reputation in the village, the villagers are not so indifferent;

The reason why they didn't help bring the bodies ashore was because the two bodies were like biscuits that had been soaked in a bowl for a long time. They were bloated and distended, and their appearance was translucent and crystal-colored, like two large humanoid pigs.

Skin jelly.

Many people know that drowned corpses will swell after being soaked for a long time, but how could the two people who were still alive during the day yesterday become like fungus soaked in hair overnight?

This was so evil that no one dared to touch the corpse.

The bearded wife knelt down by the pond and cried loudly, but she only knew how to cry, but she didn't know what to do. People around her tried to persuade her, but she ignored them and just kept crying about her misery.

Finally, the boss of the Bearded family came back from town, and now he has a person in charge.

But the eldest son was so frightened when he saw his father and brother on the pond looking like this that he didn't dare to go out to fish for anyone, so he had to ask someone to fetch Li Sanjiang.

Li Sanjiang came pushing a cart, which contained his personal affairs.

After arriving at the ground, Li Sanjiang first took a look at the situation on the pond, and then was so frightened that he kept waving his hands and retreating:

"I don't dare to fish for this damn thing. If I fish for it, I will lose my life. I will lose my life! Find someone else, find someone else quickly!"

His bluff made the surrounding villagers even more uproar, and they all began to whisper among themselves what kind of evil the bearded family had committed and what kind of evil they had attracted.

Soon, some villagers brought up the matter of the little Huang Ying yesterday. After all, the white-collar team almost got into a fight at Big Beard's house. It was difficult to hide any secrets in the village.

Li Weihan also spoke at this moment, telling the people around him about what happened yesterday when he took his grandchildren on a boat to go down the river. He said that his grandson fell into the water and had nightmares about seeing a woman walking in the water. He was so scared that he couldn't wake up from hysteria.

, Zheng Datong came to see it, but it was of no use. Fortunately, Liu Xiazi came to deal with it.

Immediately, many people came over to listen to Li Weihan's narration and kept expressing their opinions.

Cui Guiying looked very nervous as she stood next to Li Weihan. On weekdays, if she didn't have to cook and wash clothes, she could sit on the dam with the women in the village and chat about the rights and wrongs of the village for three days and three nights. But today, she was too dull to speak.

.

In my heart, I felt weak and panicked, as if the thief was shouting to catch the thief, and the cat came to cry out for the mouse.

Pan Zi, Lei Zi, Hu Zi and Shi Tou also started talking, saying that they met a female water ghost yesterday and almost dragged their own Xiao Yuan Hou down as a scapegoat. She was here to seek revenge!

For a moment, it seemed like a large open-air tea party was held in the surroundings. After the little Huangying incident was thoroughly discussed, the villagers who still felt unsatisfied even mentioned the old sesame seeds and rotten millet things in the old bearded family.

Stir it out and continue to stir-fry.

Not long after, the second son of the bearded family came home with his wife, and the two daughters with their son-in-law. The two daughters hugged their mother and started crying together, while the two sons and the two sons-in-law stood together and discussed the price with Li Sanjiang.

.

Li Sanjiang took a handful of Qiao very hard, and on the pretext that it was so evil to catch two people at once and the corpse was so evil, he directly charged ten times the price of fishing one person ashore.

After talking about the money, Li Sanjiang set up the offering table, served some wax and burned paper, and muttered the words "call friends and invite companions" for an extra half an hour, attracting the attention of the whole audience.

Although this performance is indeed not as bright as that of the White House team, everyone knows that the White House team is just a showman, and this one is the real professional.

During this period, two Santanas drove over, both with police lights hanging on their tops. They were people from the town police station.

Normally, if someone drowns, it's not a big deal. But this time, it was a father and son who drowned at once, and it was at the doorstep of the house, so the nature of the matter was different.

The police came over to take a look at the situation and were stunned for a while. They had never seen soaked corpses before, but they had never seen soaked bodies so delicately.

Seeing this, they had no choice but to wait for the body to be fished out first. They did not interrupt Li Sanjiang's ceremony, but they also did not go there to get together. Instead, they returned to the car on the roadside and smoked cigarettes and waited slowly.

Finally, Li Sanjiang finished his work, slaughtered a rooster, and sprinkled a bowl of blood, which he didn't know if it was real black dog blood, and then he went down to the pond and took the boat to the central location.

First, use the "guiding hook" to hook the body to the side of the boat, then use the "returning basket" to fix the body and pull it onto the boat, then cover the body with the "returning net", and after punting the boat to the edge of the pond, bend down

, lowered his head, used a specific technique to put the body on his back, and then landed on the shore.

This is a very important rule in the industry. You must put your feet ashore first before placing the body, because this is the "sending" and "carrying" home.

In the end, the body can only be put down after the owner's family shouts for permission. This is a return and a return, and the errand has been completed, so that the dead will know that he has really returned home, and will not become a lonely ghost following him.

After two attempts, the bearded father and son finally ended their wandering and were placed on two straw mats.

After everything was done, Li Sanjiang looked at the central area of ​​the fish pond with some lingering fear. He had just fished out the body in a polite manner before, and did not dare to really explore in depth.

God knows if she is still here.

The police came and separated the bodies, but the villagers didn't care and continued to look at them from a distance. From time to time, the frightened screams of children were heard.

After Li Sanjiang paid the money and packed up his belongings, he pushed the cart back with a cigarette in his mouth. All the villagers around him got out of the way, including those who had just fished out the corpses.

The police began a formal investigation, and the temporary office was at Beard's house. The village party secretary also came to assist, calling people, boiling water and delivering tea.

The bearded wife couldn't explain why. She just woke up without seeing her husband sleeping next to her, or she was the one who spotted her husband and wife floating in the water when an outsider passed by her fish pond.

The deputy director who led the team asked the village party secretary who in the village had a grudge against Big Beard's family. The village party secretary dug his ears and replied in a nonchalant manner:

"Hey, that's a lot."

Next, those with grievances lined up to take notes.

Including Li Weihan, who told the story of "Little Oriole", Pan Zi, Lei Zi and others were also called over for questioning.

At first, the police thought that another body had been found, and they sent police officers to follow Li Weihan to the river section to search, but found nothing. In addition, Li Weihan's story was a bit too bizarre, so he could only treat it as an old man from the countryside telling his grandchildren.

Blowing superstitious stories.

He didn't know whether to take this report seriously or not. Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Li Weihan became anxious and kept repeating that what he encountered was true, pestering the police and people around him to believe him. In the end, he was "coaxed" by the village party secretary.

of.

The white-collar team who came to cause trouble yesterday was later summoned for investigation, but they went to the next town on business the day before the incident, and the entire team had alibi.

As for the disappearance of Xiao Huangying and the entanglements therein, firstly, because the person or the body could not be found, and secondly, the relevant responsible persons, the bearded men, were also dead, so they could only report the disappearance first.

This incident of drowning of father and son was finally handled as an accidental investigation result. It probably means that the bearded man and his wife drank wine at night, got into the mood and went drunkenly in the fish pond, and then they both drowned.

The bearded family didn't bother to continue the investigation, because after the funeral, the two sons and two daughters quarreled and separated the family, which was ugly and caused a lot of talk in the village.

On that day, it was already dusk after finishing the notes. Li Weihan and Cui Guiying walked home with their children. The children walked in front and the old couple walked behind.

Cui Guiying patted her chest and asked in fear: "Why did you take the initiative to go up and talk to me, and you were called by the police for questioning? I was scared to death."

Li Weihan casually threw the empty cigarette case in his pocket to the roadside, pursed his lips and said:
To be continued...
