Chapter 53: The Corpse Recovered

It is said that Zhang Quan's plan succeeded, it was completed seamlessly and handily, and Wu Neng also got the result he wanted, Li Qianying died with hatred and sank to the bottom. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

According to village rules, after 24 hours of soaking, Li Qianying's body should be recovered from the pond to prevent the body from rotting in the pond and affecting the water quality. On the shore, a thick hemp rope with a pig cage attached to it was coiled in a circle and stacked on the edge of the pond, quietly waiting for the arrival of the villagers.

Two villagers who did not seem to have a high IQ were entrusted by the village chief to come to the pond to prepare to recover Li Qianying's body. They came to the edge of the pond, and without saying a word, they grabbed the hemp rope on the ground and pulled it up.

At first, it was a bit of a struggle, but the more I pulled, the more I felt that the other end of the hemp rope had no weight, as if there was nothing at the other end of the hemp rope. In the end, they pulled all the hemp ropes out of the water without much effort, and there was nothing at the other end except for a few sporadic hooks of aquatic weeds, let alone a huge pig cage.

Although they don't like to use their brains very much, they all think it's very strange, how can it be so easy to loosen the hemp rope that was tied firmly on the pig cage yesterday? Now that the hemp rope has been recovered, the pig cage is still in the water, so what should I do? Obviously, in the end, they couldn't think of a solution, so they decided to go back and report to the village chief and let the village chief make a decision.

Wu Yong, the village chief, was furious when he learned that they had failed to recover the body, blaming them for not getting things done well yesterday, which is why they were in such trouble today. So he took out a few bills from his pocket and said to the two villagers:

"This money is for you, you go back to the pond now, dive down and find the pig cage and tie the hemp rope and then recover the corpse, this money will be used as your hard work, go quickly!"

The two villagers took the banknotes from Wu Yong's hand and returned to the pond in ecstasy to continue their errands. After discussion, villager 1 dived to the bottom of the pond with hemp rope to look for the pig cage, while villager 2 stood guard on the shore and immediately helped as soon as there was a situation, and the money given by the village chief was divided into six or four accounts. Although I don't usually use my brain, I can always come up with a good solution to solve the conflict whenever I encounter this kind of money-related problem.

Villager 1's stout body was inserted into the water with a "poof", and one end of the hemp rope on the shore slowly submerged into the water with Villager 1's body, while Villager 2 grabbed the other end of the hemp rope and pulled it whenever there was any movement.

Underwater activity has never been a human strength, and although villager 1 has a stout body, he cannot overcome the disadvantage of being dark and unable to breathe underwater. I saw villager 1 constantly jumping out of the water to breathe, and then diving back into the water, and after repeating it many times, there was still no trace of the pig cage. The pond is not too much, that is, about the size of an acre of land, but villager 1 has swam around the pond and still found nothing.

Villager 1 finally went ashore exhausted and said to villager 2:

"I can't do it, I don't have the strength, I haven't found anything, it's so strange, let's go down for you, you six and I four."

Villager 2 saw that villager 1 did not find anything, so he and villager 1 switched their respective positions and went into the water to search, but the result was still the same, and they still did not find anything. The two villagers spent several hours, and in this pond the size of an acre of land, they could not find a huge pig cage, and the matter turned a little unbelievable.

They returned to Wu Yong's house and reported the outcome of the matter, and Wu Yong also scolded them, saying that they were not doing their job well and could not recover a pig cage. The two villagers lowered their heads and clutched the money in their pockets, not daring to refute it, for fear that the village chief would take the money back in vain. However, although Wu Yong was angry, he knew that they had done something, and if they asked for the money back, it would be inhumane.

Wu Yong sighed, shook his head and said:

"Forget it, let's increase the number of people to search the pond tomorrow morning, you will go down and call a few more villagers, and go to the pond early tomorrow morning, and I will give everyone the wages they deserve after the matter is completed."

After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for them to leave, and villager 1 and villager 2 left Wu Yong's house with their pockets covered, and went to the village to gather the other villagers to work in the pond the next morning.

For so many years, Wutong Village has had the village rules of soaking in pig cages, and there have been many men and women who have been unfaithful to love and died in this pond the size of an acre of land. Each time the body was recovered, it was very smooth, because one end of the hemp rope would be tightly tied to the pig cage, and the next day it could be easily recovered by simply pulling the hemp rope. However, this time the body was recovered, and the hemp rope was strangely loosened, and no trace was found after several hours of searching, which was the first time it had happened.

Although the incident happened very strangely, no one in the village felt that there was anything wrong, and the village chief Wu Yong only thought that it might be because the water in the pond was relatively turbid, and it was normal not to find it for a while, as long as more people were sent to search the next day, there would be no problem.

When night falls, you can still hear the laughter and conversation of every household in the village, the gambling house at the entrance of the village that has been "subsidized" by Wu Neng all the year round is still open, and Liu Yin's dog is still indiscriminate, barking when he sees people passing by.

Wu Neng slept from morning to night, very comfortable, without Li Qianying on the bed, it was particularly spacious, and it was very comfortable to sleep. The first thing I did when I woke up was that I was still thinking about going to town tomorrow to soak in the chick I saw that day, and I didn't pay attention to what happened today.

Zhang Quan, Ah Fu and Wang Xi divided the money equally due to the successful completion of the task, even if Wu Neng did not tell that Ah Fu could also take a share of this money, but Ah Fu, a little slippery head, still secretly took a share, as long as Wang Xi and they were not too little, it would be easy to do. The three of them gathered at the food stall at the entrance of the village to eat supper and touch the wine glass, they were in a very happy mood, and they were going to be extra happy when they had money in hand, and they planned to go to the gambling house to have a good time after eating supper.

Just when everyone thought that the matter had come to an end, the pond not far from the village where Li Qianying was executed had an unusual movement. The surface of the water, which was as calm as a mirror, began to stir slightly, and a large number of bubbles continued to emerge from the water, as if there was a behemoth at the bottom of the pond that was jumping under the water, and it was possible to jump out of the water at any time, and there was a suffocating and eerie atmosphere around the pond.

"Plop! Rumble! “

With a loud bang, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the water, splashed a huge splash flew several meters into the air, and then swooped down like an eagle, slapping on the water surface and making a loud sound like a raging lion's roar, deafening, resounding through the sky, and also shaking the originally calm night.

I wonder why the pond is making this loud noise? And what is this black shadow that pops out of the water?
