【027】Fish

Walking all the way downstream along the bank of the Green Snake River, after walking for about a few hundred meters, Shang Yan finally noticed some unusual movements on the surface of the river.

There are fish in the Green Snake River, but there are not many of them, and it is okay for fishing enthusiasts to come here to fish for fun, but if you want to make a living from fishing, it is simply whimsical.

On weekdays, the Green Snake River is very calm, and even if there are fish swimming by, there will only be a circle of ripples.

However, at this moment, Shang Yan saw that there were a large number of waves splashing on the surface of this river basin, and the picture was like pouring a basin of water into an oil pot, and the scene exploded directly.

Walking to the river and staring into the river, Shang Yan realized that there were a large number of fish swaying and swimming in the water, which caused such a big movement.

"Strange, what are these fish doing?" Shang Yan wondered in his heart, so he couldn't help but pick up a stone on the shore and throw it towards the densest place of the fish.

Boom!!!

The water splashed everywhere, and this smash directly alarmed the entire river, scaring those fish to flee and dive, and it looked very lively for a while.

However, this was not enough to disperse the entire school of fish, and Shang Yan immediately found many stones of different sizes and threw them out in a row, and after a long time, all the fish were driven away, and the river slowly fell silent because of this.

A dark shadow floated beneath the surface of the river, and at the same time it was constantly washed downstream by the flowing water.

"Is this the corpse? But why didn't it float? Shang Yan looked at the black shadow and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

And with the skill of corpse expulsion [1] that he possesses, the corpse should have a golden rope on his body, but this black shadow does not.

Just when Shang Yan was thinking about whether he should find something to fish out the black shadow, the black shadow suddenly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared completely.

"Huh?" Shang Yan was stunned.

What's going on? Could it be that there is something beneath the surface of the Green Snake River that has dragged that black shadow away?

All kinds of questions filled Shang Yan's heart, but he couldn't think of any answers.

"It's really weird, let's go back and look at the notes on walking the mountain, maybe there is a similar situation recorded in it." Shang Yan muttered to himself, then turned around and walked in the direction of Dongmu Town.

Shang Yan didn't notice that in the distance in a forest, there was a person standing behind a tree secretly watching him.

……

Li Bo is a native of Dongmu Town, and his ancestors have lived on this land for generations.

As an old man with no education and no schooling, Li Bo decisively chose to live with his wife in his hometown after his children got married, and did not go to the city to cause trouble for his children.

In fact, for the elderly, staying in their hometown is not necessarily a bad thing, there are friends, neighbors, people to talk to, and a life where they can do whatever they want.

On the other hand, after moving to the city to live with your children, you will have a lot of life conflicts because you live with your children every day, and then you will be disliked by your children.

Li Bo is a person who does not want to look at people's faces, so he chooses to live in his hometown and act freely.

Everyone in Fuyuki Town knows that Lieber is a veteran angler for many years, and he likes to go to the river to fish when he has nothing to do, and he will be happy even if he doesn't catch anything at the end of the day.

Normally, Liber would come home with a smile on his face, but today it was a little different.

……

After Shang Yan returned to the old house, he immediately fed the chickens in the chicken coop in the backyard with food, and changed them with clean water, and then walked back to the second floor, lay on the bed and began to continue to read the "Walking Notes".

After a general reading of "Notes on Walking the Mountain", Shang Yan also found some interesting things from this notebook.

For example, Pu Qingsong classifies all the contents in the notes into two categories: mountains and water.

Mountain walkers walk in the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, which refers to mountains, forests, wilderness, swamps and other terrains, while water refers to rivers, lakes, pools, and springs.

The strange things that happened and existed in some places were all classified by Pu Qingsong, so that when Shang Yan wanted to find what he wanted to know, it would be much easier to flip through them.

What he saw just now was located in the river, so Shang Yan specifically searched for it in the classification of 'river'.

After a short time, Shang Yan finally found a similar case.

[Fish do not taboo food, the human body soaked in water for a long time after puffiness, the skin and flesh will become loose, just suitable for fish to eat, the lips and eyelids of the human body are the first parts they will eat, because this is the most tender place on the human body.

On August 16th, I happened to see a dead body soaked in the lake, probably caused by an accidental fall, and the appearance was very disgusting, so that the number of people lost their appetite for days.

It is said that fish that eat human flesh will become evil, and over time, they will help water ghosts to murder the living.

"Now that I think about it, it is really possible that the black shadow was the corpse that the old man saw, and what I saw on the shore at the time was a school of fish eating the flesh of the corpse, but why did that black shadow suddenly sink to the bottom of the river?"

Shang Yan kept flipping through the notes, but there was no written record related to this, and Shang Yan had no choice but to give up, after all, Pu Qingsong had only studied with the mountain walker for a period of time, and he was not a real mountain walker, so it was normal for him to have things he didn't know.

Putting the mountain walking notes next to his pillow, Shang Yan couldn't help frowning, as he discovered the secret of the blackboard, the strange things he experienced seemed to become more and more.

Shang Yan didn't know if the occurrence of these things would have any impact on him, but he knew that he had to take precautions, after all, when the impact happened, he would definitely be in danger.

"No matter, for now, we can only put aside the task of cultivating zombies and focus on completing this task of exchanging corpses for money." Shang Yan looked at the blackboard and said.

Because he didn't know how to raise zombies, the task of [Cultivating Zombies] was like a big rock blocking the middle of the road for Shang Yan at the moment.

If Shang Yan is obsessed with completing this task, his progress will definitely be stuck and his time will be wasted.

So as a smart person, it is natural to know how to change, since this task will not be completed for a while and a half, then hurry up and move to another task.

[Corpse Currency] is Shang Yan's only choice at present.

After confirming this idea, Shang Yan immediately made preparations, he planned to dig up the corpse in the backyard tonight, and then transport it to Guolianggou Yizhuang through the corpse expulsion technique [1].
