I don't know when, the rain outside the window has stopped, and the first sunlight in the morning shines through the glass on Lao Chen's face, and Lao Chen is excited, and suddenly wakes up. Lao Chen looked around a little sneeringly, this night had passed so peacefully, and that madman didn't come back to make trouble? If it weren't for the faint pain of the wounds on his body at the moment, he would almost have thought that last night's incident was a dream.

Aunt Li also woke up when she heard the movement, the two glanced at each other, and it was not difficult to see from Aunt Li's eyes that she couldn't believe it, could it be that the matter had just passed? Lao Chen got up and cautiously looked out the window, after a night of heavy rain, today is a sunny day! Everything outside the house was normal, there was no abnormality, and it was only now that Lao Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, he turned to Aunt Li and ordered: "You should prepare the 10,000 yuan as soon as possible, if he comes back today, return it to him as soon as possible, we still don't provoke this kind of person." Aunt Li nodded.

There was movement in the courtyard outside the house, and Lao Chen looked at Chen Fu through the window, and he also got up early today in the morning. This son is not very successful, and after graduating from high school, he wanders around all day long, but fortunately, in addition to being lazy to eat, he didn't cause much trouble to the family.

Aunt Li made breakfast, and after the family ate, they stayed at home and watched TV, but Lao Chen couldn't feel at ease, things were so calm, so calm that he couldn't believe it. Aunt Li saw Lao Chen's thoughts, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go out to the lake to have a look?" ”

Lao Chen's face turned pale, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't go!" I wondered if I couldn't go to the lake anytime soon! You don't know, in just one night, I have done the three most taboo things for corpse diggers! Now, if I go to the lake again, I'm afraid I'll get into it myself! Haven't you seen it... The upright female corpse..."Speaking of this, Lao Chen also stopped, it seems that he remembered the scene last night, and he was still very afraid in his heart, and he would not reduce the gloom in his heart at all because it was a sunny day. When Aunt Li saw Lao Chen's expression, she stopped talking and didn't mention it again.

In the blink of an eye, it was past noon, but there was still no news from the madman last night, and he was depressed for a morning, Lao Chen couldn't sit still at this time, so he got up and walked back and forth in the courtyard. It happened that a human voice came from outside the house: "Lao Chen! You're at home, pack your things and come with me to the lake!" ”

Lao Chen looked up, and it was Village Chief Wang who called him, and his face was full of anxiety at this time. Lao Chen hurriedly asked, "Village Chief, what's the matter?" In such a hurry? ”

Village Chief Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "Oh no, something happened!" A few tourists at the mouth of the lake fell into the lake, and a few of them went ashore, but there was an old man who was stunned for a long time and disappeared, probably afraid that it was... Don't talk about it yet, just follow me and see it. ”

Looking at the appearance of Village Chief Wang, Lao Chen didn't dare to delay, but before he took this first step, he remembered what happened last night, can he go to this lake today? After hesitating for a moment, he finally looked embarrassed: "Uh... That one... There's something wrong with my boat, so why don't you find someone else. ”

"Something is wrong with the ship? What are you talking nonsense? I just came looking for you from the lake, isn't your boat good to stop at the lake? What's the problem? Village Chief Wang paused, as if he understood something, and continued: "You can rest assured about money, you are indispensable, whether you are dead or alive, you will be paid according to the cost of retrieving the corpse!" You hurry up and come with me, the matter has been spread for a long time, who will dare to come to our Haining Village in the future, and how will the economy develop? As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Lao Chen's arm, not allowing him to shirk it at all.

Lao Chen's ship stopped back in place? This was a big surprise to him. When he sneaked away last night, he saw that the madman was still standing in the boat, could he have been so kind as to help him stop the boat back? Lao Chen's curiosity instantly overshadowed his fear, coupled with the village chief's order, Lao Chen couldn't shirk anymore, so he turned his head and glanced at Aunt Li and followed Village Chief Wang towards the lake.

When Lao Chen and the others arrived at the lake, it was already full of people, Lao Chen looked into the lake, and his boat was really parked on the shore, and even the ropes and oars on the boat were neatly packed! Now Lao Chen was completely stunned, what the hell is going on? Lao Chen was surprised, and Village Chief Wang said anxiously: "Old Chen, what are you waiting for?" Go down and get someone! ”

Lao Chen woke up like a dream, hurriedly got on the boat, he turned his head and asked, "How long has it been in the water?" ”

Village Chief Wang glanced at his watch and said anxiously: "It's been more than forty minutes!" Right there in the water! Village Chief Wang pointed into the distance as he spoke.

Lao Chen looked in the direction of his finger, the place where he fell into the water was just near the fence, and it had been more than forty minutes since he fell into the water, with his years of experience, at this time, whether people were dead or alive, they must have been there in the fence! So he propped it up with the paddle and rowed straight towards the fence.

When he arrived at the fence, Lao Chen stabbed him underwater with a bamboo pole, and he stabbed an object in just a few clicks, and Lao Chen knew that this was the person who fell into the water. So he fixed the boat, took off his clothes and jumped into the water, and sure enough, an old woman was already at the fence at this time, and it seemed that she had already lost her breath. Lao Chen quickly swam to the old woman's side, put his hands on her waist, and the corpse floated up to the surface with Lao Chen. The old woman's body was quickly dragged ashore, and the crowd suddenly cried and screamed, and it seemed that it should be the accompanying family members, and finally in less than half an hour, the body had been pulled away by the funeral car, and the crowd by the lake gradually dispersed.

Lao Chen was parked on the boat, and Village Chief Wang handed over a wad of banknotes, and Lao Chen took the banknotes and put them in his pocket without counting them. Village Chief Wang sighed and said, "This Haining Village is really evil!" Always drowning people, who will dare to come in the future! That one... Lao Chen, you have also worked hard, go back and rest early. After Village Chief Wang finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lao Chen to answer, and turned around and left.

Lao Chen packed up the things on the boat, there was no one on the lake, although today was the weekend, but in the end it was drowned, everyone felt unlucky, so they left early, and the originally lively lake was deserted all of a sudden. Lao Chen squinted his eyes and glanced at the place where the female corpse was salvaged last night, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart! What the hell was going on last night? Did the female corpse be fished out?

Lao Chen, who was already planning to go home, was suddenly stumped by a strong curiosity, and just this morning, he still avoided this place, after all, he committed a big taboo, but at this moment he wanted to take a look. Lao Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally got on the boat and rowed towards the place where the accident happened last night. From last night to this morning, he has always been hanging in his heart, if he doesn't find out about this matter, I'm afraid his heart has always been uneasy, so he simply went to see and understand, and he will be able to go back tonight.

The boat soon stopped at the place where it was last night, when the sun was shining, Lao Chen was a little less afraid, he took off his clothes, took a few deep breaths, and immediately jumped into the water. After just a few swims, Lao Chen found the standing female corpse, but for a moment Lao Chen's heart almost stopped beating, followed by an incomparably huge chill, Lao Chen's limbs stiffened, and he couldn't even move for a while...

The light on the lake is clear, and Lao Chen can see the situation in the water clearly, the female corpse is still standing upright in the water like last night, but her face has become more hideous and distorted, and the death breath in her eyes can't help but make people feel frightened, but what really makes Lao Chen feel suffocated is that the hands of the female corpse are tightly choking a person's neck at the moment... That person Lao Chen remembers clearly - black raincoat! That madman is dead, and he was strangled to death by a female corpse in the water!

The man was also standing upright in the water, his limbs naturally drooping, his complexion pale, his neck was dragged by the female corpse, and his head was tilted back! Judging by the degree of leaning, the neck has been broken! At this moment, he was also bloodshot from the corners of his eyes, staring straight in the direction of Lao Chen...

Lao Chen's feet were like being filled with lead, and he didn't have any strength for a moment, he was like falling into an ice cave, the cold and fear filled his whole body, he wanted to shout loudly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the lake water poured into his mouth and nose, making him feel dizzy! He wanted to swim desperately to the surface of the lake, but as soon as he raised his hand, he found that he had been entangled in the mess of aquatic plants here, and he felt panicked, but the harder he struggled, the more he couldn't break free...

The sky gradually darkened, and Aunt Li's heart was always uneasy! It stands to reason that the fisher should have come back a long time ago, but he went out at noon, why didn't he return at this o'clock.

"Mom! I am back! Chen Fu's voice came from outside the house. Aunt Li immediately got up and greeted her: "How is it?" Did you find your dad? ”

Chen Fu glanced sideways at the room, and said with a look of surprise: "My dad hasn't come back yet?" Where the hell did he go? I had just gone to the lake, and our boat had already been parked. I went to the village chief's house again, and the village chief said that the people would be caught at noon, and my father left early..."

Aunt Li unconsciously took a step back, and her face looked extremely ugly! Chen Fu hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's going on?" ”

Aunt Li shook her head tremblingly, and two lines of tears burst out of her eyes: "Your father... Your dad made a big taboo by scooping up corpses last night, and now... Now..."Aunt Li was weak and choked up and told Chen Fu about last night. Chen Fu's face was pale after hearing this, and he didn't know how to answer for a long time.

"Chen Fu!" A girl's voice came from behind him. Chen Fu turned his head to look at Wang Fang, the daughter of Village Chief Wang. Without waiting for Chen Fu to answer, Wang Fang continued to speak: "You go out with me, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter? My home... Something may have happened at home! Chen Fu replied in a trembling voice.
