Chapter 2: The King Sees the King

The town of White Rock, where I spent a while as a child, seems to be the old days.

Under an old mulberry tree at the east entrance, three old men were sitting around playing chess at this time.

Lin Zhan stepped forward to pick a mulberry fruit, which was quite sweet. But because it was ripe, I was a little tired of panicking.

"Why don't you see Lao Cao?"

"You know? He died the year before. ”

When the three old men heard this, they immediately shouted.

Lin Zhan thought that they were the death of Lao Cao by accident, but one of the old men suddenly leaned over and said to himself: "Little brother Lin Zhan, you can remember, don't go into the water." ”

Lin Zhan was immediately stunned, wondering how they knew their names, and how did they know that they were going into the water this time?

Regardless of the names for the time being, these three people may really be old acquaintances of Lao Cao, but they didn't remember anything when they were young.

But the matter of going into the water, could it be that the third uncle publicized it?

Another old man hurriedly chimed in: "You are sixteen years old and not weak, this water is unacceptable!" Now the water is like fire entering the water, either the open flame is extinguished or the dark water is boiling, and something big will happen! ”

The third old man was strange, and when he landed on the chessboard, he shouted: "General! ”

The old man who was playing with him looked back, and his face turned pale with anger: "Hey, you veteran can still fly over and eat my handsome?" ”

The old man raised his eyelids and smiled at Lin Zhan at this moment: "This trick is called 'King Sees King'!" ”

Lin Zhan felt that his move was for himself, and this sentence was even more for himself, but he was a little confused.

The three old men continued to play chess, and no matter what Lin Zhan said, they didn't care anymore, so they had to enter Baihe Town in a huff.

Pushing open the door of the third uncle's house, Lin Zhan saw the eyes that seemed to see a savior.

"You're here! Let's go and salvage the body of the second miss of the Shen family! Fifty taels! ”

The third uncle was wearing a sewn rolled-sleeved rough shirt, revealing his arms full of old goosebumps, but his head was black and thick, and his face was still a little flushed.

"What's the hurry, I'll drink saliva and then talk."

"Everyone is in a hurry, the big guys are waiting for you on the edge of the White River!"

It's normal for the subject to be anxious, but the more Lin Zhan looks at the third uncle, the more he feels that something is wrong, so he needs to ask a few more questions about this matter.

"By the way, who are the three old men who played chess under the mulberry tree at the east entrance of the town?"

The third uncle thought for a moment, and then replied: "Three stone carvings at the east entrance of the town? A few years ago, Master Shen found someone to engrave it. ”

Lin Zhan rolled his eyes and drank the tea: "I'm asking the three old men, not stone carvings." ”

There was a commotion outside the door, and then a group of people rushed in crying.

The third uncle stopped them, and said hurriedly with a smile: "This is the Lin Zhan I said in my mouth, the personal disciple of Cao Shenxian, and the authentic corpse harvesting master!" ”

Cao Shenxian is a villager from these ten miles and eight towns, and he was honored more than ten years ago, but the second half of the sentence sounds more like a fool.

A personal disciple of a fortune teller is a master of corpse salvage?

Most of these people were relatives and friends of the Shen family or subordinates, and even knelt down and begged Lin Zhan to salvage the body of the second miss of the Shen family as soon as possible.

Seeing this, the third uncle took the opportunity to take out fifty taels.

Lin Zhan signaled that he would say nothing more afterwards, and rushed to Baihe with everyone.

This is the place where Shen Rou, the eldest lady of the Shen family, drowned ten years ago, Lin Zhan only felt a little dizzy when he came back to his senses, and immediately removed the three-foot red coffin from his back, touched the four lines of text engraved on it again, and his hand began to tremble slightly unconsciously.

After Shen Rou drowned ten years ago, Lin Zhan has been in shock.

In order to comfort him, Lao Cao once made a hexagram for the Shen family.

The hexagram shows that Shen Rou should have this calamity, and Shen Yue, the second lady of the Shen family, will also drown in Baihe ten years later.

Now that the hexagram is fulfilled in front of him, Lin Zhan only has Lao Cao's last sentence before he dies in his mind: When Shen Yue drowned, it was the day when the four lines of words appeared.

This sentence was reminded by Lao Cao many times, and it was still on his lips until he was dying, which shows how important those four lines of words are.

Lao Cao once said that he leaked his mouth after a drunkenness, although the residual drunken words were not credible, but the word life experience made Lin Zhan unable to sleep for several days and nights.

Perhaps the four lines of text have a lot to do with his own life experience.

The third uncle cautiously patted Lin Zhan's shoulder and asked, "Can you start?" ”

Lin Zhan came back to his senses, but there was a hint of anger between his eyebrows: "Do you know how evil this place is?!" ”

The third uncle replied: "I know...... Dao, you know, this is not the method of those corpse diggers in Baihe Town...... I owe some heat, that's why I'm looking for you to come......"

Lin Zhan glared at him: "You still don't want to tell the truth in front of you, then I have to go back, since you have already received the Shen family's silver taels, explain it to them yourself!" ”

The third uncle suddenly became short when he heard this, and grabbed the life-saving straw in front of him and said aggrievedly: "Don't don't, I said that Shen Yue's body was entangled in the reeds in the middle, and those corpse diggers not only did not untie it, but also broke two people......

"According to what you say, I can't take this job for fifty taels, and I'll settle accounts with you when I come up!"

Lin Zhan got into the boat he had prepared in advance and rowed towards the reeds.

By this time the rain had stopped, and there was no wind or waves in the river, and the boat was soon rowed to the reeds.

Lin Zhan used his oars to pluck away the reeds, and saw Shen Yue's body floating there.

He was naked, and a few bruises were even more shocking.

"It turned out that the body was thrown here after his death, no wonder that old thing was in a hurry!"

Lin Zhan's face was a little ugly, and he scolded secretly, and then jumped into the water.

Shen Yue was originally an unmarried girl, and she was thrown away after her death, which can be regarded as extremely dangerous.

Although Lin Zhan has little experience, after all, he has been by the side of Lao Cao who knows everything about the three religions and nine streams of the rivers and lakes since he was a child, not to mention that he had an experience by mistake ten years ago.

The reeds were thick and dense, Lin Zhan finally approached Shen Yue's body, but when he saw that Shen Yue hadn't blinked his eyes, he said to her: "There is a debtor and a debtor, and Lin Zhan, the corpse collector today, came here by the girl's relatives, and I hope that Mo will not wake up and not worry." ”

Then Lin Zhan reached out to smooth her eyes.

Her eyes closed smoothly, both in her eyes and in her agreement.

Lin Zhan turned Shen Yue over, carried it on his back, and then tied the corpse's hands around his shoulders with two red ropes, and swam towards the boat.

Originally, everything was going well, but just as Lin Zhan was holding the edge of the boat, the boat turned directly to his side.

At this time, there was an exclamation from the shore, but Lin Zhan had no time to dodge in the face of this sudden change, and was immediately covered under the overturned hull.

In a panic, he could only dive desperately into the water to prevent being injured by the hull.

Just as Lin Zhan was about to swim out from the other side, the red rope on his shoulders was suddenly tightened, and a force pulling backwards suddenly came!
