Chapter 5: The River Fishes for Corpses

Swallow Wenhui's reaction surprised Song Xiaopeng a little, according to normal people's thinking, the father and son of the Swallow family had already chased after him.

It's a pity that I miscalculated.

Shaking his head, Song Xiaopeng felt that sometimes he was not allowed to look at people.

Since ancient times, it has been said that the human heart in the world is the most difficult to see.

That's it!

My own Taoism is still too shallow.

At this time, if he turns back, it will inevitably make the father and son of the swallowing family confirm their idea of defrauding their family of money. However, in their eyes, they were powerful and mysterious, and the impression of a cultivator remained, and they could only act at another opportunity.

Walking out of the Tun family, Song Xiaopeng originally planned to go to the village chief Li Hammer Zhu's house to lobby, but the failure of the lobbying at the Tun family made him a little disheartened, and it was estimated that he would go in vain. As for Grandma Wang, Song Xiaopeng didn't think about how to lobby at all.

This task is really long and difficult!

The only thing to be thankful for is that the task of spreading civilization, there is no time limit, and it also gives yourself a little comfort. Fortunately, Song Xiaopeng had to hope that the big mouth of the swallowing second dog would spread the news that he was a cultivator, so that there would be no unexpected surprises, and he would be able to complete the task quickly.

Back at home, Song Xiaopeng was a little excited.

So he cleaned up the food he had hunted in the mountains in the morning.

Three hares, one to feed the dogs...... It's been given away, and there are two left.

Leaving one as rations, Song Xiaopeng planned to take the other one to the market and sell it for some money. This is a habit that the two brothers and sisters have always developed in the past, leaving enough for themselves to eat, and the rest will be exchanged for money and saved up for emergencies.

Today happens to be the eighth day of the fifth month.

It's time to catch the market.

The bazaar is neither far nor near.

It is said to be a market, but it is better to say that it is a place where the villagers in the neighborhood of Shili Township spontaneously organize to exchange and barter. The day of the market is set at the end of the fourth and eighth days of the month.

After cleaning up, Song Xiaopeng just went out with the rabbit and found that there were many people around his door.

There are people from this village, and there are people who pass by the market.

However, the majority of the people in the village are there.

One thing worth mentioning is that everyone watched Song Xiaopeng walk out of the house, and for a while, they were so frightened that they retreated, and they had the courage to stretch out their fingers and point. The thing discussed is nothing more than that Song Xiaopeng is dead, how can he blow up his body and resurrect his soul?

Looking at everyone like this, Song Xiaopeng was helpless, such a strange thing as coming back from the dead, ordinary people were naturally afraid when they saw it. No wonder these people were frightened when they saw their current appearance.

Fortunately, some acquaintances who have received Song Xiaopeng's favor on weekdays have a simple and relieved smile on their faces.

The third uncle walked out of the crowd on crutches and walked towards the door of Song Xiaopeng's house, and said with a smile: "Xiaopeng, you are really alive, great, you really have eyes!"

"Third uncle, you really want me to die early! However, I almost died, but it was a rivet under your old nails!" Song Xiaopeng was a little depressed, with a hint of grievance in his joke.

"Haha, you kid, you won't still complain about the third uncle!" Hearing Song Xiaopeng's joke, the third uncle, who is usually not smiling, is also smiling heartily, with a relieved smile on his face, it can be seen that Song Xiaopeng is not dead, he is really happy.

"Xiaopeng, come and take a look, come and ...... aunt" was confirmed by the third uncle, Song Xiaopeng was really not dead, for a while, many people's fearful minds disappeared, and they laughed one after another, especially the villagers who had received the favor of their brothers and sisters, and even came over, touched their arms, pinched their faces or something, and greeted Song Xiaopeng cordially.

"Thank you aunts and uncles for your concern!" It took a long time for Song Xiaopeng to get out of the crowd, and he couldn't cry or laugh. However, in the face of the sincere concern of his aunts and uncles, his heart was also warm.

"Xiaopeng, Xiaoyu, are you at home? I haven't seen her for a few days, it's strange!" When the crowd dispersed, the third uncle still didn't see Mo Xiaoyu, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Nothing happened, right?"

"Third uncle, Xiaoyu is fine, it's just that I met a master and took her as an apprentice. She followed her master to learn the arts......" Song Xiaopeng looked at this usually silent third uncle, and did not hide it, and roughly described the words of Tun Wenhui's house, but he naturally filtered out the matter of opening a martial arts academy to accept students.

"Oh, and such an adventure?" said the third uncle, stunned for a moment, "Couldn't it be a good thing?"

"Hmm!" his face changed a few times, but Song Xiaopeng still smiled and nodded.

"As long as your brother and sister are okay. Seeing that Song Xiaopeng's face was unnatural for a moment, the third uncle didn't ask much, patted him on the shoulder, and said with some words, "That's okay, I won't bother you, you go get busy first, I'll go back." ”

"Uncle San, when I came to the house for dinner in the evening, I cooked a rabbit meat. Looking at the back of Song Xiaopeng, who was missing a leg on crutches, and was also rugged and staggered away, there was a sense of loneliness, and Song Xiaopeng, who was originally a little withdrawn, couldn't help shouting.

"Alas, that's good!" the third uncle turned around and smiled kindly, and simply agreed. He was an elderly man who fled to this place without relatives and no reason, and on weekdays he helped his neighbors do simple things to make ends meet, such as coffin nails and rivets. For Song Xiaopeng's brothers and sisters, he has received a lot of favors, don't look at him usually silent, but he keeps this kindness in his heart.

Song Xiaopeng walked towards the market with a hare.

Waiting for Song Xiaopeng to leave, the smile on the face of the third uncle, who was on crutches, suddenly disappeared and became hideous, just glanced at his missing leg, and finally turned into a silent sigh.

......

......

Lively bazaar.

The rabbit that Song Xiaopeng was carrying was quickly bought, and the transaction price was seventy-eight yuan. I spent ten yuan to buy a bottle of soju, half a catty of tung oil, and two catties of potatoes, and then I went back.

I just carried my things to Xiagoutouling, and was attracted by many people who stopped to point out in the river.

Looking in the direction of people's fingers, Song Xiaopeng also saw that in the Qingshui River, another corpse floated along with the river, the difference was that this time it was a woman's corpse. Anyone with a little common sense knows that the corpses that can float in the river are generally women, and men are sunk to the bottom.

"It seems that there are people rushing from the upstream, and we meet a few of them every year. It's a pity, looking at the appearance of that dress, I'm afraid it's a young and beautiful woman!"

"Hey, young lads, you're good at the water, do you want to fish it up?"

"What are you doing scooping up corpses!

"Hey, catch it up, maybe it's not dead, people want to repay the favor, and promise each other! How good it is to pick up a cheap daughter-in-law for nothing! Don't you say?"

"I said, old man, is this the reason why you are single? Are you afraid that it is a daydream, this Qingshui River is more than ten meters wide, and the current is turbulent, can ordinary people go down? Not to mention that if you float in this water, you will already choke to death, and you will still promise yourself a ghost! I am afraid that you will go to the underworld to make a personal promise!"

"Hehe, that's it, gone, gone, it's not weird. ”

"Gotta gotcha, old man, I won't say anything, let's go. Obviously, everyone knows that the people floating in this water have no chance of survival, but they just have the psychology of watching the excitement. For a while, everyone left happily.

Song Xiaopeng looked at the figure that washed into a river bay with the water, shook his head, and turned around to ignore it. After all, there are so many people rushing in this river every year, and I have never heard of anyone who survives.

Just turned around and walked a few steps, Song Xiaopeng found that the leaf mark on his arm was a little hot, his brows were furrowed, he was slightly stunned, and he rolled up his sleeves, and the leaf mark was shining green at the moment.

"Save people!" Suddenly, a familiar but emotionless vicissitudes of life voice sounded in my mind.

"Save people, what kind of operation?" Song Xiaopeng was stunned, and he was a little speechless to himself. What does the Tree of Civilization have to do with him spreading civilization?

Besides, is there any chance that the people rushing in this river will survive?

It's better to have more than one thing, find something for yourself?

It's not that he's indifferent and ruthless, it's that the people in the river generally don't have a chance of surviving. What's more, the experience of hunting in the past three years has taught him that he must be careful in the mountains, not to mention this Qingshui River, he must be cautious, otherwise, his life will not be guaranteed.

seemed to understand what Song Xiaopeng was thinking, and the voice in his head continued to sound: "Those who have the chance, after saving people, you can enter the space of the Tree of Civilization to obtain the skill of resting in the water for an hour, and besides, saving people belongs to the category of moral civilization, and the Book of Civilization will be recorded." ”

"In addition to the skill of breathing in the water, there are rewards?"

"No, the records will add up to a lot, and the sand will become a tower!"

"Well, what's the use of resting in the water for an hour?"

"Peach Blossom Flowing Water Mandarin Fish Fat ......"

"Gotta get it, I'll save it, I'll save it!" After this voice reminded him, Song Xiaopeng was hungry for the fresh fish in the river, put the things in his hand on the ground, and ran along the downstream of the river.

So, just pointing at the people who passed by to catch the market, they saw an incredible scene, a guy who was like crazy, running towards the lower reaches of the Qingshui River.

Thump!

Ran to the river bay where the woman was drifting, and glanced at the place where the water was about to rush out of the steady current, Song Xiaopeng gritted his teeth, jumped into the water, and desperately chased the figure drifting in the river.

"Who is it? Don't die, it's just crazy......" The quiet mountain village, there were not many accidents, and I saw someone jumping into the river in order to catch the corpse of a woman. For a while, many people approached the riverbank, all to see who it really was.

As soon as he jumped into the water, Song Xiaopeng was caught off guard, and a mouthful of water poured into his mouth and nose.

Belch!

choked Song Xiaopeng's tears.

Fortunately, he has a good water nature, and he also has a lot of experience in the water.

With the ups and downs of the water, Song Xiaopeng soon caught up with the floating figure.

Grabbing a corner of the girl's shirt, with the impact of the current, she kept swimming towards the shore.

It was quickly washed into a turbulent place by the current.

The danger can be imagined, almost out of strength.

Fortunately, it took a lot of effort to finally drag the woman ashore.

Sitting on the ground, Song Xiaopeng gasped for breath.

just looked back at the woman who was rescued by herself, and looked shocked and shocked.

Fanghua is peerless!

Song Xiaopeng was amazed by the woman's appearance, and only thought of these four words to describe it in his mind.

is a hundred times more beautiful than Grandma Wang, who he hates.

However, surprise is surprise, what made Song Xiaopeng's heart set off a huge wave was that under the woman's left shoulder, there was a blood hole, which was shocking, and the blood had already been washed away by the river, and her fair skin was as white as paper.

If someone is rescued, can this live? I'm afraid it won't save a female corpse!

Well?

Stretching his hand on the woman's neck, there was actually a faint gossamer!

Not dead?
