Chapter 488: The Human Head in the Fish Pond
"Brother, what's going on?"
Ryoko pulled up the fishing rod and looked at the bitten fishing line, a little confused.
"Bear with it!"
I motioned for him to change his rod and continue fishing.
This is the fifth day that Ryoko and I have returned from the hot spring village, and the night I came back, I went crazy with Chu Mo and Xiuxiu for a night, and the next day I started picking up work.
The reason is very simple, to improve my strength, double cultivation is the best way, I have no problem, but Chu Mo and Xiuxiu have problems.
The cultivation is improved too quickly, and when the catastrophe comes, they are likely to be unable to resist it and will be split into slag.
The best way to resist the catastrophe is to accumulate yin virtue, that is, to take over the work.
According to Chu Mo, we usually take on jobs to help people eliminate disasters and solve problems, and it seems that we have got money, but in fact, every time we succeed, there will be a trace of yin virtue falling in the hall, and the specific point is that it falls on the hall list.
The more work they receive and the more work they accumulate, the easier it will be for them to survive the catastrophe in the future.
The immortal family is tribulated, and it is difficult to survive hard resistance, and many times they pin themselves on some things, such as the entrance of the hall, such as some caves.
Specific to my Taoist hall, one is the hall list, the other is the cold forest altar, the hall list is used to send the soul, the cold forest altar is used to hide, the two are coordinated, it is the best way to spend the catastrophe.
And after the two of them survived the Heavenly Tribulation, they immediately had to double cultivate with me, one was to cross the little thunder power on their bodies to me through double cultivation, and the other was to take advantage of the opportunity of their cultivation to improve the Yin Yuan in their bodies to me to improve my strength.
To put it bluntly, when the two of them survived the Heavenly Tribulation, it was the day when I opened the twelve methods of the human body, and maybe it was also the time when my memory was restored.
And now, the Yin Virtue accumulated in the hall is not enough, if this Heavenly Tribulation falls, Chu Mo and Xiuxiu can only live one, which is unacceptable to me.
So how? You can only work hard to take over the work and work hard to accumulate yin virtue.
As for my accumulation of Yin Virtue, that Dead Daoist will not stop it, he will even facilitate it, maybe arrange a few jobs for me, so that I can quickly accumulate Yin Virtue.
For example, the things I experienced before, the greater the danger, the heavier the resentment, and after solving it, the more Yin Virtue I will gain, and all along, that Dead Daoist has been using this method to force me to improve.
Chu Mo also knows this, she is also acquiescing to all this, as long as it does not threaten my life, she will not object.
And this time, the job I took was found for me by Aunt Ren, and the owner was a fish pond owner, which was different from usual, this time, the fish pond boss personally came to the house to invite me.
The weather in the Tohoku changes the fastest in late April and early May, with temperatures reaching 20 degrees Celsius at high temperatures and only a few degrees Celsius at low temperatures.
At this time, most of the fish ponds began to clean the fish ponds, add fish fry, prepare early, and the fish fry have been laid for nearly a month.
The owner of this fish pond is the same, his family has a total of four fish ponds, as early as a month ago, the fish pond has been cleaned and the fry have been laid.
The boss's surname is Zhang, and he runs a farmhouse by relying on the fish pond, and when there are many fish, he mainly stews fish in an iron pot, and when there are few fish, he makes stewed beef bones in an iron pot, and the business has been very hot.
But lately, something has not been right.
There are a total of four fish ponds, one of them, because the time of placing the fry is relatively early, the fish in it can be fished, and the weather has been better recently, the temperature has been around 20 degrees, and there are really a lot of people who come to fish.
Many people come here to fish for a lively time, and want to eat the fish they have caught, and the problem lies in fishing.
Someone was bitten by a fish and claimed to be a ghost underwater.
A fish pond is haunted, this reputation spreads, who still comes, especially, the location of this farmhouse is still relatively remote.
So, the owner of the fish pond approached me and asked me to help solve it.
Fish bites people, it's really a bit of a, but it just happened.
The process is very simple, there is a family of three who came to fish on Sunday, the child is seven or eight years old, and they also join in the fun, it is also a coincidence, the hook sinks down as soon as it enters the water, and there is a fish bite.
The fish bites the hook, the child, the first reaction is to close the rod and pull it up, strangely, it is not pulled.
Not only did it not pull, but the child was pulled down, and the fish in the fish pond swarmed up and began to tear the child.
Fortunately, the child's parents were next to him, and the vigilance was quite high, and the child was rescued, but the child's injuries were not serious, but they were scared enough to say that there were people underwater.
Coincidentally, the child's parents were more superstitious, and they also believed the child's words, saying that there were water ghosts underwater, otherwise, how could a one-pound fish drag the child into the water.
The boss also muttered, but he didn't refute it, he knew very well that the most important thing at this time was to calm things down, once the haunted thing spread, he didn't need to open this farmhouse.
I signed a confidentiality agreement with this family of three, lost a lot of money, and brought the child to me for me to see.
This look shows the thing.
The child did hit the ghost, but the ghost didn't haunt him, but the yin qi invaded the body, drink a glass of rune water, eat two good meals, and it will naturally be fine, but the problem of the fish pond is not easy to solve.
Ryoko and I came today to solve the problem.
The boss said that the fish in this fish pond are not big, and the largest one is only a little more than a catty, which he can guarantee.
The reason is very simple, they are all fish fry at the same time, it is impossible for this one to grow big, that one to grow small, and the fish in this fish pond are the live fish bought by the boss and put in it.
According to the boss, he has been staring at the time of opening the pond and releasing the water, and he has also put the fish with his own hands, and there has been no problem.
And this fish pond has been open for nearly ten days, and there has been no problem a few days ago, but this family of three has come to the problem.
The family of three went to my place, and I can be sure that it is not touching porcelain, since it is not touching porcelain, it is a problem with the fish pond.
As for where? How did it come out? It's still to be investigated, so Ryoko and I came.
Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, the problem arose, since the fishing line was bitten off, isn't it a joke? What fish can swallow a hook and then bite off the line?
After living for more than 20 years, I have never seen such an awesome fish.
The boss also said that most of the fish in the fish pond are crucian carp, and a small number are carp and grass carp, but they are not big.
Ryoko didn't say much, changed a fishing rod, hooked the bait, and threw the rod into the water.
"Hey!"
As soon as the swim bladder of this Ryoko entered the water, mine moved, and the fish took the bait.
My first reaction was to lift the rod upward, but I didn't lift it, and there was a strong force on the other end of the rod, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I might have been dragged into the water like that child.
"Brother!"
Ryoko screamed and threw down the fishing rod and came to help me.
"No!" I only had time to spit out two words when the rod rattled and the taut line broke, just like Ryoko's.
I frowned at the broken line, and if I didn't know there was a problem underneath the water, I would be a fool.
"Lao Zhang, come!"
I raised my hand and greeted the boss who was watching the excitement on the other side.
The boss's surname is Zhang, he is forty-three this year, and he is very good at things.
"Thank you, what do you need me to do, you squeak!" After Lao Zhang came over, he patted his chest and said.
"How deep is the fishpond?" I asked.
"The deepest point is two meters!" Lao Zhang pointed to the middle of the fish pond and said.
The fish pond is about 30 meters from north to south, about 50 meters from east to west, and the deepest place is in the middle.
If there is a water ghost in the water, then with the help of the water potential, it can at least increase the help of more than fifty percent.
"There's a pump, right?" I asked.
"Yes!" Lao Zhang didn't hesitate and nodded directly.
"Drain the water!" I pointed to the fish pond in front of me and said.
"Okay, you leave this to me, at most an hour, I'll definitely drain the water!" Lao Zhang didn't say a word, and responded in one bite.
With that, he walked back down the weir and went back to his house to get the pump.
Five minutes later, Lao Zhang and a few guys brought in four pumps and began to pump water.
The hum of the motor sounded, and the pond water was constantly pumped out and poured into the fish pond next to it.
Fifty minutes later, the fish pond dried up, revealing a pitch-black silt bottom, as well as a round thing.
"Human heads!"
The moment I saw it, I knew what it was.
"Lao Zhang, you stay, let those guys go back!" I walked up to Lao Zhang and whispered in his ear.
The head is not fully exposed, but there is an outline, and when the water is completely drained, it will be impossible to hide it.
"Good!"
Lao Zhang nodded, didn't question, and waved his hand to drive those guys away.
The guys carried the water pump and the wires and went back to the farmhouse in front.
I went down to the fish pond in my water boots, and Ryoko followed behind me, and we walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and came to the middle of the fish pond, picked up a round thing, and reached out to wipe it, revealing a human face.
"!"
I cursed, and the cause of the accident was found, and someone threw a human head into the fish pond.
"What, what?"
Lao Zhang was not calm anymore, he shivered and took out a cigarette, put it on his mouth, lit it a few times, and didn't light it.
"Human heads!"
When I came up, I carried my head to the edge of another fish pond, and washed it with the water inside, and my brow wrinkled even tighter.
The human head was disfigured, and it was impossible to see the appearance at all, and the face was pitted, and it looked like it should have been burned with sulfuric acid or something.
There is no hair on the head, and it looks like it should be shaved, but it is not very clean, and there is stubble in some places.
There are a lot of incisions in the neck, not a single knife down, it should be a lot of cuts, look at the knife edge, at least five cuts.
"It's hard to do now, I don't know if it's a man or a woman!" Ryoko looked at the human head and muttered.
"Most of them are women!" I said.
"How did you figure it out?" Lao Zhang leaned over and asked.
"You're not afraid?" I looked back at him and asked with a smirk.
"Don't be afraid!" Lao Zhang took a puff of cigarette that he didn't know when he lit it, and a puff of smoke came out of his nostrils.
"It's mostly hair!"
I pointed to the head and said, although the head was burned, I could see that the hair was shaved later, and it was not so neatly shaved, which ruled out the possibility of a barbershop.
A barbershop can't be so amateurish, shaving its head like a dog.
Since it's not a barbershop, there's a good chance it's a murderer.
The murderer does not shave people's heads for no reason, unless he wants to hide the sex of the deceased.
Most women's hair is very long, and without hair, it is naturally difficult to tell whether it is a man or a woman.
Another point is that the two ears of the human head can be burned, and if I guess correctly, it should be hidden ears and eyes.
"It's so ruthless!"
I told the speculation, Lao Zhang spit out a puff of smoke rings, sighed with emotion, and asked, "Xie Dashen, what to do with this head?" ”
"Call the police!"
I said with a smile.
It's impossible for me to keep this head in my hands, and the best thing to do is to call the police.
"Huh?"
Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that I would choose to call the police.
"Don't worry, I have someone in the county, and I won't embarrass you!" I patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder, knowing what he thought, calling the police is equivalent to telling others that something happened to his fish pond, and his business will naturally be affected.
Between human life and making money, his first reaction was to make money.
It's normal for him to think like this, people are selfish, and I don't blame him.
Finding out the phone, I called Widow Wang, this matter has to be done by her, and it is reasonable, and when the time comes, our sisters can cooperate and mention this human head to summon spirits.
Now that she can bite off a few fishing lines and drag people into the water, it's simple, she wants revenge.
In fact, I also want to know who killed the person and threw the head in the fish pond.
