Chapter 7: The corpse comes out of the water
Uncle Friday saw that I was silent, and he didn't say much, and when he arrived at the place last time, he put on his clothes, took his equipment, and plunged into the water.
Waves of water rippled on the surface of the lake, like a huge monster suddenly cracking through its openings and swallowing people.
I held on to the swaying hull of the boat and watched around vigilantly, for fear that what happened last time would happen again.
The night wind blew, rolling up a cool breeze, my back was cold, and I unconsciously broke out a layer of cold sweat, my eyes were sour, and I didn't dare to blink more than half a minute.
As the minutes ticked by, my body stiffened.
Suddenly, the rope swayed.
My stiff body, quick to react, eyes shining, quickly ran towards the stern.
As soon as I grasped the rope on the side of the boat and held it down, I was afraid that I would not have enough strength to bring the people under the water with me.
But no matter how hard I tried, the rope didn't move much at all.
The bruises on my forehead bulged up, and I strained again.
Underwater, Uncle Friday pushed the upper body of the corpse hard and kept going to the surface.
The two of them used all their strength.
only to get the body out of the water.
The moment I saw the corpse, my tears couldn't stop falling, but I didn't dare to loosen the rope in my hand and dragged it to death.
Uncle Friday emerged from the water.
Take a deep breath, hop on board, and follow me hard.
For some reason, my father's body remained in the water for a few days, and nothing changed, just as I had seen him that day.
It's just that the head is gone, and I look at the swarthy neck, and my face is complicated.
But it's good to find the body, there is hope, and I'm not afraid of the next time.
We worked together to get the bodies on board.
Uncle Friday was silent, with a solemn expression on his face.
I wanted to ask something, but I didn't know where to start.
In the end, there can only be silence.
I covered my father's body with a white cloth.
"Dad, I'll take you home."
The stiff corpse softened a little as my words fell, and I knew that it was my father who heard me, and I was glad to wipe away the tears from my cheeks.
Turning around, he picked up the oars and paddled hard towards the lake.
The boat swayed on the water, stirring up layers of water ripples.
Suddenly, the smooth boat stopped in the middle of the lake, my body stiffened, and Uncle Friday also opened his eyes and looked over.
"Why don't you go."
I pursed my lips, pale, and looked at the severed limb on the water.
I have poor eyesight, and I can see that this broken arm is an old acquaintance, and last night, blocked our boat.
The fact that she is here again is far-fetched to say that it is a coincidence.
"Broken arm."
Uncle Friday was stunned, didn't understand what I was talking about, quickly got up from the boat, came to my side, and leaned his head to look into the water.
A woman's arm, blue and white, was swollen with blisters, for fear that it would explode if she touched it.
Uncle Friday disliked looking away, took the oar in my hand, and threw it hard, the oar flew up and down in the water, and the broken arm disappeared in an instant.
He handed the oars back to me.
"We just rely on craftsmanship to eat, not the Qingtian Lord, nor the judge of the underworld, we have no obligation to help redress grievances, don't care about what we shouldn't care."
I nodded hurriedly, and I understood what Uncle Friday meant, the female corpse found me twice, and she should have wanted me to help her find the person who killed her.
But Uncle Friday said don't care, I naturally want to listen.
The two of them set off at one time, and we disappeared in the same place, and the black shadow appeared again and again, and the black hole eyes stared at my back, and the lips trembled, but no sound came out.
I had a vague feeling, but I didn't dare to look back.
The ship came to the shore, and by the bright moonlight, I saw two figures waiting on the shore, and my men moved a little faster.
"Boom."
The ship made a dull sound when it touched the land, and no one noticed it, and the ship's body hung down at its side and its fingers moved.
"Coming back?"
When Wang Yinpo saw the people on the boat, her hoarse voice seemed to ask me, but it seemed to ask others through me.
"Well, we're back."
I replied, Wang Yinpo just looked at the water and didn't answer me, I don't know what she meant.
Looking at her line of sight, there was nothing.
"Bring the man ashore!"
After Wang Yinpo finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the shore, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I came up and dressed one, and followed my father on my back.
Back to my house, I had to cross the village from the pier.
I walked on my father's back to the entrance of the village, and the dim houses began to light up one by one.
I looked at the orange lights and had a bad feeling in my heart.
"You see, he's carried the headless corpse back."
In the dark night, I don't know who screamed, like a sharp sword in the night sky of a landslide, my back was cold in fright, and I didn't care if I could see the road in front of me, I opened my legs and ran forward.
Wang Yinpo's face was solemn, and she followed with the steps of an old man, and Uncle Friday's face was not good.
A few people walked forward, but they all underestimated the villagers' disgust at my father's corpse.
I was blocked by a couple of big men.
"Headless corpses, if you are not careful, you will become a murderer, you want the whole village to bury you."
The man who spoke was Li Dakuan, as his name suggested, tall and strong, and had some prestige in the village, but he also looked down on us, but he was jealous that my father and son could make money.
Now I have grasped the great handle of my father and son, and I must not attack him to death.
"You don't talk nonsense, what fierceness, it's impossible."
I tried my best to refute it, but my words did seem to others to be a sign of weakness.
"Lu Yang, there are old and young people in our village, you brought the evil back to let us die, what do you say today, Lu Laosan can't go back to the village."
Li Dakuan, shouting louder, he just saw that I was helpless, and seized the opportunity to not let me have a good time.
"Li Dakuan, the deceased is the greatest, and I, Wang Yinpo, guarantee with my faith that he will not harm you."
Wang Yinpo didn't care about Li Dakuan's appearance of death, and interrupted him with words.
If it were in normal times, Li Dakuan might have to be jealous of Wang Shenpo, but today he saw Lu Yang and the bag of Dayang he brought back, and his heart was even more unpleasant, why did they die hard and tired all year round, and An An was shaving in the field, but they didn't have the comfort of earning money from the dead, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow this breath.
"You dead woman, this is a matter in our village, it's not your turn to interfere, and you're interested."
Li Dakuan was blinded by jealousy, and he couldn't listen to persuasion at all.
Wang Yinpo's face changed a few times, and Wang Xiaoli on the side clenched her fists, and wanted to rush out, but was pulled by Wang Yinpo.
"And what do you say you want to do?"
Li Dakuan is waiting for this sentence.
"If you want to get in, you have to give money, a family of ten oceans."
As soon as I heard this, I was anxious, where is there so much ocean in my house.
"Why don't you go and grab it."
Li Dakuan didn't pay attention to my anger at all, hugged his arms and legs, and stuck in front of me.
