Chapter 60: The Drowned Ghost in a White Dress
Nine o'clock in the evening.
A few cramped black-canopy fishing boats cast their nets along several rivers in the inner harbor.
The boats were brightly lit, but the "fishermen" looked panicked when they faced the big lake at night.
Naturally, they were the group of death row prisoners brought by Xiao Hongyue, pretending to be fishermen at the moment, pretending to fish on this big lake.
In order to seduce the drowning ghost who does not know where.
After all, the place where the traces were found is very large, so you still have to rely on luck to come across it.
These death row prisoners looked at the black lake beneath them, wondering whether they should hope that their homes would be chosen by the drowning ghost or that they would be safe.
After all, the people of the Jinye Division said that whoever caught the drowned ghost would be released from the death penalty.
For the rest of the participants, the death penalty was suspended.
Xiao Hongyue and they naturally couldn't easily let the yamen of Dongchi Mansion release these death row prisoners, after all, these are all valuable materials, so they naturally have to save some use, and at the same time they have to give them some hope, lest they have no desire to survive when they don't have the time to come forward to complete the task.
Li Mu and the three of them also got into a small boat each, enclosing this area in a triangular shape, and at the same time, their eyes swept from the surroundings from time to time, wary of any wind and grass.
They don't care about the lives of those on death row.
And it is really these ordinary people who are too fragile after encountering evil spirits, and I am afraid that they cannot delay more.
At this moment, the lake is calm, and the occasional breeze blows, which is cool and hits, and I don't feel how cold it is in this winter.
The lights on the fishing boats were bright, and although they knew that their lives would be in danger if they encountered evil spirits, these death row prisoners became more and more relaxed after maintaining their concentration for a long time.
After all, there are so many people here, they are all lucky in their hearts, and they don't think that they will necessarily become the lucky ones.
As the old fishing ballad resounded on the surface of the lake, in this place where few fishermen go out to fish at night, they came out to fish at night, resulting in a lot of harvest on the boat.
Li Mu picked up a large perch weighing about three or four catties from the water.
The fish followed the light, Li Mu didn't have a fishing rod, but just attached himself to the water and struck lightly, and the fish suddenly turned over and was salvaged by him.
Two hours have passed, and although Li Mu is still patient, he is no longer vigilant.
Boredom looking at the lake.
Maybe it's going to rain tomorrow, but now the sky is covered with clouds, covering the stars and the moon.
At this moment, he was destined not to experience Tang Wenru's beautiful scene of "drunk and ignorant of the sky and water, full of dreams and pressing the galaxy".
The overcast sky reflects the dark surface of the lake.
Suddenly, there was a shrill woman's laughter on the empty water.
The death row inmate on the boat, pretending to be a fisherman, froze.
Then he looked under the boat, and saw a woman in a white dress, dragging the bottom of the boat, and a bloated face soaked in the lake appeared in front of him.
"Hee-hee-hee..."
"Poof!"
The death row prisoner let loose the fishing net in his hand, and his body fell down uncontrollably.
Seeing a person die, the white-clothed drowned ghost couldn't stop laughing.
It was as if that would bring her great pleasure.
But before she could wait for her to find her target again, she saw a tall figure galloping towards her on the lake.
At the same time, he also shouted, "Death to the!" ”
Li Mu swooped down, and the moment he stepped out, the canopy boat under his feet was suddenly pushed back hundreds of meters.
With the help of this momentum, Li Mu quickly came to the target he had already locked.
A palm poked out.
Li Mu felt as if his hand had caught an extremely slippery layer of fish skin.
But with a sudden force, a layer of black internal force poured in directly, and under the scorching heat, the figure in the white dress only had time to let out a miserable scream in the water, and it was completely annihilated.
As soon as Li Mu fished in the water, he picked up a layer of flocculent material that resembled fish skin but was almost transparent.
Place in a special sealed bag around your waist.
Li Mu turned around and jumped onto the boat.
A series of actions that flow smoothly and are completed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Xiao Hongyue and Bu Jinghui were late in the boat.
Of course, it's not that they can't cross the waters, but they saw Li Mu's quick shot on the boat, so they weren't in a hurry.
I vaguely saw that Li Mu seemed to have picked up something from the bottom of the water.
But neither of them looked at each other and did not ask.
On the contrary, Li Mu waved his hand and smiled, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm a little interested in collecting this, don't laugh at it." ”
Seeing that he told him frankly, the two of them had no suspicions.
After all, that thing is really useless, and these evil things may be some strange things, and they are usually evil.
"Where, since Brother Li has this hobby, how can we laugh."
"Yes, yes, Brother Li's hobby is generally so, and the slave family has seen a lot of unique hobbies of those high-ranking officials and nobles."
Li Mu smiled, it seems that these things really don't have much value, otherwise the two of them wouldn't behave like this.
But that's fine, he won't have to be too careful about collecting these things in the future.
After all, it's a hobby.,Everyone has some weird special tendencies in this thing.。
Anyway, he has always had some people like to imitate dogs, this hobby is confused.
When the task is completed, there will be others to verify it, and with the evidence in Li Mu's hands, a few people only need to wait quietly at home.
Contribution points will be delivered to your door when the time comes.
However, since there are three people, this thing needs to be divided evenly.
This time it was Li Mu's hand, that is, according to the division, Li Mu could get four contribution points, and the other two got three points.
Don't look at the small contribution points, this time the strength of the drowning ghost is not strong, only the spirit level, and it is basically not difficult to solve for these Qi Realm martial artists.
And this time it was divided equally by three people, so it naturally seemed rare.
However, many people don't care about this, the upper limit of their talent is there, and they are self-aware.
On weekdays, I came to complete the task in order to cope with the assessment.
A task like this, which is as easy as dealing with drowned ghosts but with little pay, is actually done by many people.
Li Mu also happened to be selected.
Looking at the dark sky, "It's time to go back," Li Mu muttered to himself.
