Chen Pi walked sleepily on the embankment, and lay in the bathhouse all night, and his bones ached all over his body. His head was dizzy, the commotion of last night had disappeared, and he was blown by the river wind, not only did he not wake up, but he had a feeling of wanting to gause.

The sun had just risen on one side, and he headed to the docks, where he still had to do coolies today. But suddenly I saw a thick circle of people on the embankment in front of me.

Chen Pi instinctively leaned into the road, avoiding crowded areas, he could stand the smell, he could stand the musty smell, but the smell of people piling together made him nauseous. As he got closer, a gust of river breeze blew, but he survived.

There was a strong smell of blood in the wind, the crowd whispered, Chen Pi pushed the crowd in, and saw a fishing boat stuck on the embankment, and the yard slot led people were investigating on the boat, and the blood of the boat was hanging down the side of the boat one by one. Chen Pi squinted his eyes and saw several corpses lying across the boat, and he could see that the head had been cut off, and the fat on the neck had been turned out, and it had been blown by the wind for a while, so it had become the color of the sweet potato crisp.

In the pool of blood, you can see the white and tender body, which is a half-naked female corpse, in the black blood, the white is exposed, and the white is like mutton fat.

Chen Pi listened to the discussion of the people on the side, probably knew something, he glanced at the female corpse, the dazzling white still made him a little restless in his heart, just about to leave, he suddenly saw a boy covered in blood sitting on the side of the boat.

It was that Chunshen, who watched as he instructed people to carry corpses, his face expressionless and motionless. He clutched a jar tightly in his hand.

Life is still really hard. Chen Pi thought to himself, turned around and walked away, he looked at the river, and found that the soldiers everywhere on the embankment were gone, no wonder the water locusts suddenly came back, they didn't appear for a long time, they must kill people, they didn't cut people's heads, and they didn't know why they had to bother.

Thinking about it, Chen Pi suddenly found that he had forgotten his wooden board in the bathhouse, so he had to go back to get it in a daze.

On this day, there are not many people on the wharf, and the slender men dare not come out, what happened last night will spread in Hankou today, and the news of Caoyun will go upstream this evening, and many ships will directly unload their goods at the wharf upstream and bypass this section by land, and there will definitely be less work tomorrow.

There are few people and more goods, Chen Pi made two trips to the coolies and got 10 yuan, dragged the wooden plank in the sunset and went to the bathhouse, passing by the place in the morning, the crowd of onlookers had already dispersed, the boat was still there, the body had been carried away, Chun Shen squatted alone in the stern, washing the blood on the deck with a rag.

The blood is frozen on the deck, you have to wipe it very hard, wipe it a few times, and wash it in the river water, and the river outside the boat is covered with a layer of blood foam. This little kid seems to have grown up a lot overnight, and the scrubbing action looks like the group of slender men on the dock.

Chen Pi stopped to look at Chunshen, Chunshen also looked up at him, Chen Pi suddenly had an impulse, he felt that this little ghost should not be alive. What are you living for? How long will you live?

Chen Pi looked around, there was no one around, and the nearby boats had fled into the lakes everywhere.

The two looked at each other for a while, Chen Pi suddenly felt tired, thinking that what Xiqi said to him made him uncomfortable, and he really couldn't lift his strength, so he didn't do anything, dragging the plank and continuing to walk forward.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he saw Chun Shen getting off the boat, holding the jar in his arms, following him blankly, looking at the plank he was dragging.

Chen Pi looked at him stupidly, and suddenly became angry, went up and lifted the plank, picked it up, and knocked Chun Shen to the ground with a plank.

"Your glory and wealth are all on this board." His ears suddenly remembered Xi Qi's words, and the anger that had been pent up during this time all exploded at once, and he went up and took the wooden board and smashed it three times in a row on Chunshen's head.

"Glory and riches! Glory and wealth! Glory and wealth! "The planks were cracked, the skin on Chunshen's head was cracked, his nose and mouth were bloody, and he couldn't stand up.

Chen Pi looked at Chun Shen coldly, as if he saw himself, a helpless person who had been trapped in place without hope, he had a murderous heart and lifted the plank.

Suddenly, his foot stepped on something, and when he looked down, he saw that Chunshen's jar had broken, and a handful of copper coins had fallen out of it.
