"What?" Nie Shuyao felt that his head was big, this was the second morning they had come to Qingshui Village, and so many things had happened.

Nie Tianxi was the first to rush out, leaving the stupid girl who was inconvenient to walk to take care of the fat aunt, and Nie Shuyao and Feng Wuya also walked out of the door.

When the old man saw them, the expression on his face was obviously relaxed, and he touched a handful of sweat, and said, "Girl, how is this good?"

"Who died?" Nie Shuyao didn't say a word, and hurriedly walked to the carriage.

The old man took two quick steps to follow her, and said, "Do you remember the man who got up early yesterday morning to herd the cattle?" He's dead. ”

"Where?"

The old man trotted up to her and said, "Follow me." ”

Nie|You|You|Small|Say|More|New|Most|Fast|www.|Shu Yao turned her head and said to Feng Wuya: "Brother Feng, you and the second artillery will drive the carriage to the fat aunt's house, and we will live in her house for the time being." ”

Feng Wuya nodded and did so.

Nie Shuyao's sister and brother followed the old man to the river, and the sky was basically bright at this time.

Not far from their carriage, by the river, a man fell on the bank, half of his body still in the water, and some aquatic plants hanging from his body.

Seeing this, Nie Shuyao sighed in her heart, and said in her heart, "This is a blame for us, but the dead are too innocent." ”

The deceased was the cattle herder who didn't want to save people when Shunzi asked for help yesterday, and seeing that it was him, Nie Shuyao said, "Xi'er went to get our box." ”

Needless to say, Nie Tianxi also knew what kind of box he was holding.

The old man was still trembling and said, "I just said that we can't stay in this village for long, what if the villagers think that we killed this person?" ”

Nie Shuyao raised his head and glanced at him and said, "Uncle, let's say a few words!" Don't forget that you brought us here. When it comes to this, I think you know very well why. ”

"This, I ......." The old man looked completely confused.

Nie Shuyao turned his head to look at the corpse, there was a swelling phenomenon, there was no blood on the appearance of the body, but there were traces on the exposed hands, and there were aquatic plants that they fished up yesterday wrapped around their bodies, and at a glance, they knew that they were drowning, but these aquatic plants were longer and bigger than the ones they had finally gotten.

She gently touched these aquatic plants with small stones, and found that they also died, not at all like aquatic plants that could harm people's lives. It's just that the jagged teeth of the aquatic weeds are still there, and they are also dead wrapped around the deceased.

Nie Tianxi quickly brought the box over, she put on a mask and gloves, touched the corpse lightly, and found that it was already stiff, and roughly estimated from the hardness that it would be at least five hours after death.

When I tear open the aquatic weeds, I find that the grass that is still soaked in the water is alive, this phenomenon is very strange, is it possible that the aquatic weeds will die by themselves after a while after leaving the water?

She didn't believe that the dead could climb up from the whirlpool in the river, and that she had so many aquatic plants with them, and she knew how powerful they weededs. But who rescued him from the whirlpool? Maybe it wasn't to be rescued, but to see that he was dead before he was dragged out and put on the shore.

Nie Shuyao asked Nie Tianxi to help drag the deceased up from the water and lie flat on the shore. The mouth of the deceased was slightly open, his face was pale, and he did not blink his eyes, and it seemed that he had been extremely frightened before he died, but when he examined the mouth and nose of the deceased, he found that there was no mud and sand in it, which was even more strange; It's really strange to look at the hair and ears that are still the same, and there is not even a single aquatic weed!

It is also possible to say that there was no mud on the deceased because they had been soaked in the water for too long and washed away, but it is unusual for a drowning person to have no mud and sand in his nose.

It can be concluded that the whirlpool in the river is not the place to drown him. But is this aquatic weed found in other places besides living in whirlpools? As for whether the deceased died before drowning, she needs further verification.

But this wish obviously cannot be realized. On the other side of the riverbank, Li Zheng walked over with a group of people. These people all carry "weapons" in their hands, which are nothing more than some farm tools such as hoes and sickles.

"Sister!" Nie Tianxi stepped forward and blocked in front of her.

Nie Shuyao took off the mask and gloves, wrapped them and threw them into the toolbox, and waited calmly for their arrival with Nie Tianxi.

There was a woman's cry in the crowd, and if you looked closely, it was an old woman holding a turban, and a sturdy young man looked at Nie Shuyao and the others angrily, and the anger in his eyes almost wanted to drown them out.

Nie Shuyao sighed in her heart and said, "These two are the family of the deceased, but your anger is in the wrong place. ”

"Shut up!" Li Zheng roared, "It's you, it's you who provoked the water ghosts, and there are people in our village who died." Don't think that if you can save one person yesterday, you can save the second person today. ”

Nie Shuyao also had anger in her heart, and said loudly: "You just shut up!" Keep saying that water ghosts, this water ghosts are just special aquatic plants, who has ever seen what water ghosts look like? ”

"Catch them and feed them to the water ghosts!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

Then, with red eyes, the villagers rushed forward with their weapons in hand.

"Stop!" Nie Tianxi stretched out his hand and activated the pocket hand crossbow, and three arrows were inserted in front of the feet of the person who rushed to the front, and these villagers who had never seen the world were stopped at once.

Nie Shuyao was behind him and said coldly, "Didn't I tell you the true face of the water ghost yesterday?" It's just aquatic plants. As long as you don't go to the whirlpool in the river, you'll be fine, so why would you rather believe in the water ghost than the truth? ”

"The truth is that my father was killed by you!" The young man holding the woman roared.

Nie Tianxi also said coldly: "Which eye did you see that we killed your father?" When and how did it get killed? You say come and hear it. ”

Nie Shuyao continued: "In my opinion, the one who killed your father is the Li Zheng who keeps saying that the water ghost will take revenge, and it is you!" ”

She pointed to Li Zheng, whose cloudy eyes turned dark red, and said, "Li Zheng, tell me what you were doing when you were in the third watch?" Did she go to Stupid Ya's house to steal her brother who had just been born a day? Then you were beaten by our big brother Jiang and had to give up on your stupid brother. And then, where did you go? ”

Li Zheng didn't say a word, Nie Shuyao asked himself, "Did you go somewhere and carry the long-dead cowherd uncle to the river?" ”

After saying this, the villagers hesitated again. Li Zheng used intimidation methods to manage them, and if Li Zheng really made a ghost, it would not be a good thing, and the villagers would be able to get rid of the nightmare of water ghosts.

"Can a stranger's word be believed? If it weren't for their arrival, there would be no more dead people in our village! This is what the water ghost said. Li Zheng exclaimed.

One sentence successfully aroused the courage of the villagers, and they walked towards Nie Shuyao again.

"Stop! Go any further, don't blame me for being unkind! Nie Tianxi raised his left arm and pointed at the villagers, he had just put on a new arrow, and he was not afraid to take someone to demonstrate first.

Nie Shuyao was very angry, obviously the biggest suspect was this Lizheng, but these villagers would rather believe him than believe the facts. She felt that she had to come up with something to stop them, but what could stop them?

At this moment, Jiang Yi came back, holding a piece of paper with a red seal in his hand and said, "You should believe Miss Nie's words, this is a certificate from the government." Miss Nie was sent by the official family to investigate the water ghost incident in Qingshui Village. ”

Nie Shuyao looked back, wasn't this the letter of appointment given to her by Wu County's order? There is a big seal of the county government on it, but it doesn't explicitly say what case is being investigated, so it can also be mixed up.

Nie Shuyao sneered: "Now you should believe what I say, the official family paid attention to Qingshui Village two years ago." You must know that strange things are taboo in the court, do you want to rebel? ”

She said this very strictly, and she didn't say which official sent her, so that even literate people could get away with it.

Then, he took the letter of appointment in Jiang Yi's hand and said: "See clearly, this is the big seal of the county government, if you have any questions, please communicate with the county master." However, if you gather a crowd to attack someone appointed by the imperial court, you will be guilty of a great crime. ”

The letter of appointment is real, maybe everyone is illiterate, but the red seal of the county government can be seen clearly, so the villagers put away their weapons.

Only then did Nie Shuyao look at the young man and said, "Give me three days, and I will bring you the real murderer." ”

The young man said, "I believe you this time." ”

Nie Shuyao shook his head and said: "It's not that I believe this time, it's to believe that water ghosts don't exist, it's just made up by some people with ulterior motives." Your father has been dead for five hours, and he didn't come home for the night last night, did he? ”

The young man was shocked: "How do you know? ”

"If your father had just died, his body shouldn't have been so hard. And he did not die in the river, because there was no mud and sand in his mouth and nose. The drowning man has mud and sand in his mouth, but the aquatic weeds wrapped around his body show that he is indeed drowning in the same water as the whirlpool in the river. Could it be that there is such a whirlpool in your village besides this Qingshui River? ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and at the same time deeply frightened, and some of the timid people were already half-crying and talking, "Is this the home of the water ghost in our village?" ”

Nie Shuyao glanced at this person coldly, found that it was an honest half-old man, and said, "I just said that there are no water ghosts in the world, didn't you hear?" This is a deliberate murder! He first lured us away by the river, using the trick of stealing the fat aunt's child. Then he threw the cowherd to the river to blame us. ”

Then Nie Shuyao looked at Li Zheng straight like this, "Lord Li Zheng, don't you say a few words?" ”

Li Zheng turned around and left, saying as he walked: "If you don't go, the water ghosts will come out to harm people." It's not to scare you, let's see. ”

Nie Shuyao hated the root of his teeth, but there was no substantial evidence to help him.

looked at the young man who was crying on the corpse and said, "If you can, please let us examine the body." ”

The woman beside the young man cried, "No! It is a great thing for people to die, so he should be allowed to go to the ground as soon as possible, old man, after a lifetime of suffering, he has ...... gone like this. ”

"Alas!" Encountering this situation, Nie Shuyao could only sigh.
