Volume 1: Frontier Crisis Chapter 12: The Luanshui Mystery Case
Sitting at the dinner table on a moonlit night, he quietly watched Yin Qiushui's back gradually disappear into the vast night, and suddenly said to himself: "Luanshui will really face a flash flood?"
All of a sudden, the thought suddenly rose, and the past was like a cloud of smoke......
Mu Sifan had just put a piece of fish meat in his mouth and chewed it carefully, when he suddenly heard the sound of talking to himself on a moonlit night in his ear, and couldn't help but interject: "Since the priest divined and prophesied, it is not a bad thing for us to be prepared. ”
"Sifan girl is right, I will also go to the embankment early tomorrow morning to help. Uh......" As soon as the moonlit night's words came to this, he suddenly paused.
He glanced at Mu Sifan, and then continued: "Just now my aunt said that it has not been peaceful recently, what is going on?"
Mu Sifan chewed the food in his mouth, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of the tea in the cup. Only then did he put on a long story about this matter, and said: "Brother Ye may not know that a few days ago, in the fish pond ten miles north of our Liyuan Village, there were several tragedies of children drowning for no reason. The strange thing is that the drowning children did not go into the water to play, but stood on the shore and were inexplicably dragged down by the underwater objects, and before the adults on the shore could react, the children disappeared from the world. ”
"What the hell is this?"
Hearing it on a moonlit night, he simply put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and stared at Mu Sifan, looking fascinated by it.
The doubts in his heart caused him to can't help but ask, so he inadvertently interrupted Mu Sifan's words.
After several monarchs and their lifelong efforts, the Cyan State has already developed into a superpower south of the Buhe River on the Demon Continent. The outstanding administrative ability of several monarchs has made the country unprecedentedly prosperous and prosperous, and the whole country is peaceful and secure.
Moonlit Night has grown up in the Luanshui River Basin since childhood, and the children on both sides of the Luanshui River are basically good at water.
Although more than 10 years ago, due to the negligence of the local priest in Hechi, the government failed to prevent the occasional flood in Luanshui in time, resulting in the death of both parents in that flood.
But the scourge of children drowning for no reason is unheard of.
Mu Sifan took advantage of the opportunity of interjecting on a moonlit night, picked up the teacup on the table, raised his head and drank a sip of tea, coughed dryly, and then continued: "The strangest thing in the lotus pond is that the drowning child sank into the water, and he couldn't see the corpse float up. Later, several murders occurred one after another, which frightened the people of the surrounding villages to regard this as a forbidden place, and they had to avoid the lotus pond from afar.
Later, someone rushed to the ancient town of Hechi to report to the government, and the government immediately sent some people who practiced martial arts to rush to the lotus pond where the accident occurred. As soon as they came to the lotus pond, they took off their coats and jumped into the lotus pond, diving to the bottom of the water to find out. The surrounding people heard that the government had sent some capable people to search the pond, so they came to the lotus pond together, so that the whole lotus pond was full of people. ”
Speaking of this, Mu Sifan paused for a while and took a sip of tea. The moonlit night couldn't help but ask, "Did those people sent by the government find anything in the lotus pond?"
Mu Sifan took a long breath and continued: "Everyone has been busy all afternoon, and they haven't found anything. Later, someone in the government suggested that several openings in the lotus pond connected to the river should be sealed, and the water of the huge lotus pond would be drained by manpower, and that night everyone used shrubs and vines to tie stones to seal the water outlets around the lotus pond, and then filled the gaps in the gap with sediment, so that the water of the lotus pond was independent.
The people of the surrounding villages saw that the government was working so hard to get rid of the monsters for everyone, and they sent food and drink items for free and assisted the government in draining the water. All of a sudden, the whole lotus pond was overcrowded, and everyone came to draw water with wooden pots and barrels. At noon on the second day, under the concerted efforts of everyone, the whole pond was cleaned up, and the silt and aquatic weeds of the lotus pond were exposed.
The people of the government scattered all over the lotus pond in a very regular manner, and after nearly a tea carpet search, someone finally found the situation on the west side of the lotus pond......"
When Mu Sifan said this, he stopped again, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a big sip of tea. The moonlit night couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out, "What did you find?"
"On the west side of the lotus pond, there is a large piece of aquatic grass, the aquatic grass is knee-deep, and when you open this aquatic weed, you can see that under the cover of this aquatic grass, there is a puddle that is not very deep. Someone in the government jumped into the puddle, and when the mud was cleared, they saw several scattered children's bones displayed in the puddle. ”
"Isn't there anything else to be found in the puddle?"
Listening with interest, the moonlit night scratched the back of her head, and asked impatiently.
"After a careful search by the government, they also found in the puddle the clothes of the drowning child, but the clothes had already been torn and torn by sharp objects, and they were extremely messy, and some brown and yellow hairs were found on those broken clothes, and nothing else was found.
After the patchwork and comparison of everyone at the scene, it was finally confirmed that the scattered wreckage in the puddle was the children who were inexplicably dragged into the lotus pond and drowned a few days ago, but one hand bone and two leg bones were missing from the wreckage. ”
Mu Sifan couldn't help but gasp when she said this, as if she had witnessed these terrible scenes, a trace of horror and pain passed over her fair and tender face.
Hearing this inhumane scene on a moonlit night, his heart was suddenly extremely angry, and his right palm couldn't help but slap heavily on the table, and roared: "Such a ferocious beast is bound to break its body into thousands of pieces, and it will be difficult to eliminate the anger and hatred in my heart." ”
What Brother Ye said was extremely true, everyone present at that time was angry, and they jumped into the quagmire to dig grass and dig in the mud, looking like they were about to dig three feet into the ground and find out the murderer's posture.
Everyone worked hard for a long time, but there was no gain, so they went ashore indignantly. Later, some elderly people recognized that the brown fur stained on the broken clothes may be the hair of the 'water ghost' contained in the ancient books, and some people guessed that the 'water ghost' in the lotus pond may have seen the government come to search, so they were so frightened that they fled from the lotus pond long before everyone closed the pond, and avoided the water along the river.
So the government ordered that everyone on both sides of the Luanshui River must be careful and take precautions, but if you find a drowning person or find a place suspected to be a 'water ghost', you must report it to the government as soon as possible. ”
Mu Sifan stopped at this point, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Did this 'water ghost' reappear later?" " Yueye stared at Mu Sifan tightly, and couldn't wait to ask.
Mu Sifan took a sip of water, glanced at the moonlit night with interest, and then said slowly, "This is really strange, since the last time the government closed the pond and searched, this 'water ghost' seems to have disappeared and disappeared, and has never appeared again." ”
