Chapter 13: The Strange Female Corpse
Uncle Li Mu's recovery made the family as lively as the New Year, and some of the ingredients and other things prepared for the future were scattered to the surrounding neighbors, which also made the surrounding people happy. After the excitement, Li Mu also had a few days of leisure time, and he was not in a hurry to meet the capital, but caught fish with An Zhiquan.
Li Mu found a few old fishing rods in a corner of his home, these fishing rods are not like the ones sold on the street now, these fishing rods are all made by Li Mu himself before. Speaking of this fishing rod, Li Mu couldn't help but recall the happy times in the past.
These fishing rods are made of long and thin bamboo, in order to get the bamboo that is suitable for making fishing rods, Li Mu even ran several bamboo gardens, and finally finally stole a few from a villager's bamboo garden. For this matter, the family also sued Li Mu's family, but everyone was a villager in the township, so they didn't feel too embarrassed, just let Li Mu's parents take care of the children.
Li Mu's father just told Li Mu about it, but Li Mu's mother copied a rattan stick at home and taught Li Mu a good lesson, so that Li Mu, who was in junior high school, was beaten up and down.
When Li Mu was a child, he was beaten a lot, and most of the people who did it were his mother. But when his mother got older, Li Mu felt more and more that his mother's dependence on him became more and more intense, which made Li Mu's heart a little sour.
Now that he has found a fishing rod from home, Li Mu naturally wants to go fishing in the big river like he did when he was a child.
After a long time, the original fishing line on the fishing rod has been somewhat ruined, and it is obviously unusable. So Li Mu went to the village commissary to buy fishing lines and hooks. After reattaching the line and hook, Li Mu applied the quality of the rod again. This rod has been roasted by the fire when it was made before, and the moisture inside has been forced out, so although a long time has passed, the rod can still be used.
There is no saying about buying bait for fishing in the countryside, and the bait to be used is taken from the local material and dug directly in the ground.
Li Mu learned what he did when he was a child, carrying a shovel and going to some remote corners of the village.
Earthworms are the best bait for fishing in the countryside, and of course the earthworm to be dug is not the kind of black and thick earthworm, but the kind of thin red earthworm that he wants to dig. These earthworms generally live in remote and soft soil, and can sometimes be found by moving some rocks away.
Li Mu should be reliving his childhood, so it doesn't matter. As a result, this indifferent mentality actually made him dig up enough red earthworms. This made Li Mu also couldn't help but be happy, but he didn't expect that after so many years, his character would explode.
With bait, all the preparations were naturally ready, so Li Mu took An Zhiquan to the big river and chose a more suitable location to fish.
The location chosen by Li Mu is a body of water that reces into the bank of the river, and Li Mu doesn't seem to have seen this place when he was there. However, the terrain is flat and there is a large willow tree right next to the river, so the place is not too sunny.
Li Mu stabilized the little horse he was carrying on the ground, then put the earthworm on the hook and threw it into the river. Li Mu adjusted the position of the float and fixed the rod to a fork stuck in the ground. Turning his head, Li Mu found An Zhiquan standing there a little stunned.
"Hey, Xiao Anzi, you haven't fished before!" Li Mu thought that An Zhiquan was very unfamiliar with fishing, so he was a little dumbfounded.
An Zhiquan didn't refute when he heard Li Mu's joke, but looked at the water area with some surprise in his eyes. He thought the waters were strange no matter how he looked at them, but he didn't see anything on closer inspection. So An Zhiquan also shook his head and left this matter behind.
Li Mu didn't know what An Zhiquan was thinking, and when he saw him shaking his head, he thought that An Zhiquan really didn't know how to fish, so he got up and wanted to act as a coach when he came, ready to give one or two, but when he stood up, An Zhiquan had already done it three times and five by two, and that action was much more proficient than Li Mu.
"You!"
Li Mu was very uninterested in An Zhiquan's pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he simply sat on the horse and stared at the float in the water.
Fishing is a test of patience and eyesight, so you can't just start the rod when you see the floating. No, Li Mu thought that there was a fish on the bait when he saw the float suddenly sinking several times, but when he pulled it up, it was empty. Therefore, when the float sank again, Li Mu learned to be obedient, and he didn't rush to pick it up but waited for a while before he mentioned it violently, but there was still nothing on the hook, but the earthworm had been almost eaten.
Seeing that he was being teased by the fish in the water three times and twice, Li Mu was speechless, but he couldn't jump directly into the river and beat up the fish that played him. Angry, Li Mu once again threw the hook to the original place, thinking that he had to catch a few fish today.
"Whoa!"
Just when Li Mu was being teased by the fish, An Zhiquan threw the fishing rod up. And on the hook there was a large crucian carp that was only a few points shorter than the chopsticks. The big crucian carp was thrown ashore and jumped vigorously, and there was a risk of jumping back into the water at any moment. An Zhiquan naturally wouldn't let this crucian carp have a chance to return to the water, so he came to the crucian carp with an arrow step, and saw that the crucian carp immediately quieted down with a clip of two fingers. Putting the crucian carp into the bucket he brought, An Zhiquan grinned at Li Mu, which made the latter pout.
In the next period of time, An Zhiquan dropped several crucian carp in a row, although they were not as big as the first one, but they were all very different. And Li Mu on the other side finally had a harvest, but the fish he caught really made him blush a little.
To say that Li Mu's fishing skills have not been good since he was a child, so every time he can catch a fish, he is actually very happy, but today there is such a contrast as An Zhiquan, so Li Mu must catch a decent fish before stopping.
Li Mu was devastated by An Zhiquan over and over again, and still insisted on the fishing rod he got from An Zhiquan. Why did he change the fishing rod, it turned out that Li Mu felt that he couldn't catch the fish because his fishing rod was not good, so he forcibly snatched it from An Zhiquan, and then stuffed his fishing rod to An Zhiquan. But after fishing for a while, he found that he couldn't catch fish, and it had nothing to do with the quality of the rod.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and Li Mu, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw his float move again. And from the violent sinking and floating of the float, you can guess that it is a small fish that has been hooked. This made Li Mu's heart suddenly feel energetic, and he stood up from the maza all of a sudden, and then watched the float intently.
Li Murang's breathing slowed down a little rapidly, and the hands held at the end of the fishing rod were also unconsciously tightened. An Zhiquan also seemed to see Li Mu's movements, so he also turned his head to watch.
Li Mu counted silently in his heart, and when he counted to three, he pulled the fishing rod up violently. But the fishing rod was not pulled up by Li Mu, but seemed to be pulled by something.
"Damn, it must have hooked a branch!" Li Mu had encountered this situation before, so it was normal for him to hook a tree branch in the water.
After swinging left and right a few times and couldn't get rid of the branches, Li Mu planned to directly pull the fishing line so that he would stop fishing today.
Li Mu tugged the fishing line, and he already felt that the fishing line was about to be broken, but suddenly Li Mu felt that the branches in the water seemed to be pulled. In this way, Li Mu loosened the fishing line a little, and planned to pull up the branches, so that maybe the hook could still be used.
Li Mu carefully retracted the fishing line little by little, and the branches in the water seemed to be very large, because Li Mu could feel the force in his hands.
When Li Mu felt that the length of the fishing line was about the same, Li Mu stared at the branch at the other end. But in the end, it was not a tree branch at all, but a corpse.
Li Mu was also startled when he saw the corpse, and An Zhiquan on the side also noticed the situation here.
It turned out that Li Mu's fish hook actually hooked the corpse's hair, no wonder he couldn't pull it off for a while.
The corpse's body was soaked in the water, and its face was blocked by the long hair scattered and floating on the water, so they couldn't tell what it was, but seeing the clothes the corpse was wearing, the two could guess that it was a female corpse.
I don't know how long this female corpse has been soaked in the water, but there is no trace of decay on the exposed skin, and the red bridal dress on her body is still as bright as ever. Although there are many retro bridal outfits now, when Li Mu saw the bridal outfit on this female corpse, an idea came to his heart, that is, this must not be a modern bridal outfit.
Li Mu didn't know what to do when he saw the female corpse in the water, and as soon as he subconsciously let go of his hand, the female corpse sank straight to the bottom of the water. But An Zhiquan pulled the fishing line up hard.
"This corpse can't be soaked in this water anymore, it has to be brought up." While talking about An Zhiquan, he pulled the fishing line hard.
Li Mu saw An Zhiquan's serious expression and hurriedly went up to help. However, after the corpse surfaced, the weight increased, and the fishing line could not withstand the force at all, so when the corpse was about to reach the shore, the fishing line snapped and broke.
If the corpse is pulled away from the fishing line, it will immediately sink into the water, so An Zhiquan jumped directly into the water and dragged the corpse to the shore.
When the female corpse was dragged ashore, Li Mu took a closer look at the corpse. The corpse was about one meter six, and her hair was wet and sticking to her cheeks, but Li Mu could see that the female corpse had a beautiful face.
The female corpse had been soaked in the water for too long, so the skin was white and scary, but there was no wrinkled phenomenon of being soaked, which couldn't help but make Li Mu curious.
glanced up at An Zhiquan, and found that An Zhiquan was staring at the female corpse, his eyebrows were full of seriousness.
"What about this female corpse?" Li Mu saw that An Zhiquan was speechless, and still looked at the female corpse, so he said a word.
Hearing Li Mu's question, An Zhiquan raised his head and looked around and found that there was no one on the shore. Then he said to Li Mu: "This female corpse should not stay for a long time, it must be disposed of as soon as possible, and it is best to burn it!" ”
Li Mu could hear the seriousness of this matter from An Zhiquan's words, so he responded directly without asking too much. Then the two of them took advantage of the fact that there was no one to lift up the female corpse, preparing to hide him in a hidden place first, and then find another opportunity to burn the female corpse at night. But at this moment, suddenly there was a scream beside him.
