My father's face was a little cold, "The previous wedding boat was dilapidated, it was an old-fashioned wooden boat, Fang Shenpo said that the wood is connected to the water vapor, the water is wood, you can't use the big boat and the steel boat, and the oars I put in the boat are nowhere to be found, I have been fishing for corpses in the Yin and Yang River for 20 years, my ancestors have been corpse fishers for three generations, and they have encountered a lot of strange things, but what Fang Shenpo said is groundless, and even, I think someone wants to harm my son!" ”

My dad's words made me stunned, someone wants to harm me?

Mrs. Fang's face did not change, "Mr. Ning, it's still the same sentence, all this is the river demon's fault, before your son and Lingling got married, I already explained the danger and power, and you personally agreed." And you ruined the marriage tonight, and if you want the village to be safe, you must get married again, and this time, it is also the last chance. ”

My dad's face was cold, "What if I refuse?" ”

Fang Shenpo said: "Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, who to rely on to eat water, Mr. Ning, you have angered the river demon tonight, if you give up halfway, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come in the future, and there is no place for you to stand in the Yin Yang River." Moreover, you have a lot of taboos in your job of being a corpse collector, and if you cause trouble, you will inevitably suffer the consequences, so you have to think about it carefully. ”

"Myths confuse the public!" My dad went back angrily, "I have a clear conscience, and I am naturally not afraid of any demons, I can't help this favor!" ”

The village chief hurriedly came over, and the old man burst into tears, "Mr. Ning, you want to save us, if something happens in the village again, I, the village chief, can't do it anymore, I'm ashamed of my father and fellow villagers......"

Then, a few villagers next to me also begged my father to save them, and a few more villagers knelt on the ground and begged, with a sincere face.

I glanced at these people, a little disgusted, just now accused my dad, even the swear words came out, almost beaten, and now I am begging my dad.

Who do you think of us? Does it come and go when it is called? When we can be used, we are masters, and if we can't use us, will we be insulted?

"I refuse!" My dad refused again, "Save people and save hearts, our father and son have done their best!" In this matter, please be smart, Ning Yue will not interfere again! ”

My dad's attitude was very resolute, and when the villagers heard that my dad refused to help, they exploded all at once, some begged my dad for help, and some began to accuse my dad of not counting.

Yesterday, I softened my heart in the face of the villagers kneeling in front of my father, but now, when I see these people, I don't have a little wave in my heart.

The scene was chaotic, there were many people who had died recently, and the whole village was shrouded in terror, and our father and son were their only lifesavers.

Fishing boats all around, villagers on the other side of the port are pouring towards us, more and more people, my father's face is pale, no matter how the villagers plead, my father is silent.

My dad suddenly took my hand, "Let's go!" ”

When the villagers saw that our father and son were leaving, they were so anxious that they rushed to block our way and prevent my father and I from getting off the boat.

Suddenly, a man fell overboard in the chaos.

"Lao Li fell into the water!"

"Quick, pull him up!"

"Lao Li's water nature is so good, do you still need someone to pull him?"

I followed the dim lights of the harbor and looked in the direction of the falling water, and a middle-aged man in his mid-fifties was struggling in the water, his head just rising and sinking again, and after a few seconds, the water was calm.

Something is wrong.

The villagers panicked.

"Quick, save someone!!"

"Quick, get in the water!"

Several people were about to go into the water, and suddenly they didn't know who shouted, "Lao Li has such a good water nature, it must be a river demon, a river demon!" ”

"It's the river monster!"

As soon as these words fell, everyone's faces were shocked, the villagers' fear of the river demon had penetrated into the bone marrow, and all the people who were about to enter the water stopped moving, and no one went into the water!

"Uncle Li!" The spirit next to me cried, and without hesitation, jumped directly from the boat and swam quickly to the place where Uncle Li fell into the water.

"Lingling!" I shouted and was about to go down to help, but my dad grabbed my arm, "It's different, stay on the boat, I'll go down." ”

My dad took off his clothes three or five times, stretched his hands straight, and jumped headfirst into the water.

A moment later, my dad dragged an unconscious middle-aged man out of the water, and not far away, Lingling also came out of the water.

Seeing my dad and Lingling return safely, my hanging heart finally put it in my stomach.

Everyone helped carry Uncle Li ashore, but no one paid attention to the spirit in the water.

I took Lingling's hand, dragged Lingling ashore, took out a towel and handed it to Lingling, wiping the splash on her body, Lingling looked at me with a grateful face, and thanked her again and again.

It was Uncle Li who fell into the water just now, and Uncle Li lived next door to Lingling's house.

I looked at the villagers around me, a little chilled, just now Uncle Li fell into the water, Lingling was the first to jump into the water to save people, and the others, I heard that it was the river monster, no one went into the water!

Are these people so selfish? Concerned about your own life and death? In that case, why did my dad and I help them?

Fang Shenpo muttered a few words, and then pinched Uncle Li's people, and after a while, Uncle Li woke up.

Uncle Li looked panicked, he said, just now he asked my father for help from the village chief's boat, and I don't know who hit him and fell into the water.

fell into the water, something in the water dragged his feet, and he couldn't break free......

Uncle Li's description reminded me of what happened before, after I fell into the water, someone in the water grabbed my feet and pulled me down.

Uncle Li's words made everyone panic, and Uncle Li learned that it was my father who rescued him, knelt in front of my father, and thanked my father for his kindness.

"You don't have to thank me, it's my profession to save people and retrieve corpses, and I will charge for it." My dad's face was cold.

Why did my dad say that? If it was normal, my dad would never say ask for money.

Everyone was stunned, but Uncle Li was still grateful, and said: "Mr. Ning, you save my life, I will give you money you deserve, unlike some people, who keep saying that for the safety of the villagers, after I fell into the water, no one saved me!" ”

Uncle Li said, with resentment on his face, and glanced at the villagers around him.

Many people have a look of guilt on their faces, everyone is frightened by the river demon, the people who died recently have fallen into the river, and the death is unknown, the situation just now, everyone is afraid of death and dare not go into the water.

The village chief's face was very ugly, he walked up to my father and said with a smile: "Mr. Ning, if you want more money, I'll pay it." ”

My dad ignored the village chief, and his eyes fell on Mrs. Fang, "Goddess, if you think Lao Li's life is worth a lot of money, give me more money." ”

Mrs. Fang's face was calm, "Mr. Ning, what are you talking about?" Life is precious, how can human life be measured by money? ”

"What is that measured!" My dad became angry all of a sudden, with an angry face and a domineering attitude, "Lao Li fell into the water just now, since life is precious, what are you all doing?" ”

"Why didn't anyone go down to save people?"

"Why was the little river demon in your mouth the first to jump down to save people?"

"Lady Fang, why didn't you say a word at that time!"

"You keep saying that you want to protect the villagers, but when something happens, you all stand by and watch!"

"Who is a demon and who is a human? I think Lingling is a human, and you are all demons! ”

"You let my son and Lingling die on the river, well, all the children of each of your families go out, use a boat without any safety measures, and stay on the river for the night tomorrow night, then I will promise you!"

My dad is pressing every step of the way, and the momentum suppresses everyone, my dad has a good temper, is kind, and rarely gets angry, it seems that what happened just now has angered my dad's bottom line.

Fang Shenpo's face changed several times, speechless, the scene suddenly fell silent, only the sound of the river murmuring, and many villagers lowered their heads in shame.

Who wants their kids to spend the night on the river? No one wants to lose their precious children.

If no one is willing, why should we, father and son, be willing? We are not from Shangnan Village.

My dad said to the village chief, "I don't care about this matter!" I can't do anything about it! ”

At this time, no one contradicted my father, and our father and son did their best, since no one thought about us, why should we think about them?

Mrs. Fang's face was very cold, "There is another way, which is to burn Lingling and sacrifice to the river demon, now Lingling is already your daughter-in-law, Mr. Ning, it depends on how you measure it in your heart." ”

Burn the Dead?

Is Mrs. Fang forcing my dad?

"Then you burn it." My dad smiled coldly, "If any of you dare to burn, I will call the police, you are not afraid of going to jail, just burn it!" ”
