After taking a closer look at the drowning child, Zhou Qing could tell from his swollen body that he did not look like he had just drowned, but that it should have been some time.

At the same time, there is also the dead cow he just helped pull up, and the skin on his body is also swollen, although it has not reached the level of rancidity, but it looks like it has been dead for a while.

Puzzled, Zhou Qing asked a man beside him who looked honest and honest, and finally came up with the result from him.

It turned out that the drowning child disappeared after leading his family's cattle to graze the cattle yesterday, and the body was found on the surface of the lake not long ago.

asked casually, and after a while, the people surrounding the lake dispersed, and Zhou Qing circled the lake alone, and finally his figure moved and jumped directly into the lake.

At this time, all the villagers had left, so when Zhou Qing went to the lake, no one found him.

After entering the lake, Zhou Qing, who was in the water, was like a ghost, and under the control of his mind, he controlled the lake water to push his body to float underwater.

After walking around the bottom of the lake, which was not too big, Zhou Qing did not notice anything unusual, and finally he floated along an undercurrent under the lake to an outlet connecting the lake.

The river is not wide, less than two, and the deepest bottom of the river is only more than zhang, floating at the mouth of the river to take a look at the water, Zhou Qing found that walking in the middle of the river, just to hide his body, and then his mind moved, and the red figure floated into the river.

Having never experienced rushing underwater, Zhou Qing felt quite novel, although the speed under the water was not as fast as the speed of traveling on land, but he didn't have a place to go at the moment, so he floated in the river according to his heart.

After a short time in the middle of the river, the small river merged into another large river that was much wider.

The larger rivers are five or six zhang wide, and the deepest part of the river is nearly two zhang, and the direction of the river is not too fast.

After drifting into the river, Zhou Qing followed the direction of the river, and when it was about to get dark, he stopped at the bottom of the river.

Because by the river not far from him, there was a man's body planted upside down in the mud by the river, his head was completely buried in the mud, and his body floated straight at the bottom of the river, which looked very strange.

Glancing at the man, Zhou Qing stood at the bottom of the river and hesitated for a moment, and then his figure moved and floated to the side of the man who was already dead.

As soon as he approached the man's side, Zhou Qing felt a thick yin aura, he circled around the man, and then grabbed his leg and pulled it out of the mud.

Then, Zhou Qing dragged the man's body to the shore, and when he got ashore, he found a sparse pine forest behind the river embankment, and a village behind the forest.

As it was approaching dark, smoke wafted from most of the houses in the village.

Dragged the man ashore, Zhou Qing checked it carefully, judging from the swelling of the man's body, he should have been dead not long ago, because compared to the child he saw before, the swelling of this person's body was obviously much better.

After taking a few glances at the man's corpse, Zhou Qing walked directly into the woods behind the river embankment and went to the village.

When he came to the door of a house in the village, Zhou Qing saw an old man sitting at the door of his house, weaving a bamboo blue that was about to take shape with bamboo strips.

"Disturbed the old man. ”

Stopping at the door of the house, Zhou Qing said to the old man who was concentrating on weaving bamboo blue.

When the old man heard this, he looked at Zhou Qing carefully, then put down the things in his hand, got up and gestured with his hand, and then ran into the house.

"This old man is our business?"

Just as Zhou Qing was puzzled by the old man's actions, the old man walked out of the house once, and at the same time, behind him, there was a young man of twenty-four or five.

The old man pulled the sleeve of the young man's shirt, and pointed at Zhou Qing again, seeing this scene, Zhou Qing realized that the old man was probably dumb, so he didn't respond to himself just now.

"Little brother, what's the matter with you?" the young man took two steps closer to Zhou Qing and asked.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I just passed by the river outside your village and found a corpse in the river, so I'm here to inform you. ”

"Corpse?" Hearing Zhou Qing's words, the young man quickly ran to his side and said, "Little brother, you take me to take a look." ”

Then, Zhou Qing led the young man to the river, and behind them, the dumb old man also followed.

When he came to the riverbank, next to the corpse that was dragged up from under the water by Zhou Qing, the young man was stunned, and the dumb old man who came up said 'Yiyiya' in his mouth.

"Is he from your village?" Zhou Qing glanced at the young man and asked.

"It's the people of our village. The young man nodded, and said with a puzzled voice, "When I passed by the river in the morning, I saw him fishing here, how could he suddenly die in the river." ”

"I don't know about this matter, I only found out by passing by by accident, since it is from your village, then you go and inform his family, I still have to hurry, so I will go first. ”

After leaving these words, Zhou Qing didn't pay attention to the father and son, but left by himself.

Regarding the cause of death of the person who drowned in the river, Zhou Qing did not say it clearly, this kind of evil thing is not very interesting to say, but it will add some trouble to himself.

After walking out of less than half a mile along a path on the river embankment, the sky was completely dark, Zhou Qing wanted to take out the fluorescent stone and walk on the land at night, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally jumped off the river.

Compared with floating in the river on land, there is no obstacle at all, and it can also save a lot of trouble, so Zhou Qing thought about it for a while and decided to sneak in the river.

The moonlight in the sky sprinkled on the surface of the river, and Zhou Qing under the water looked like a ghost, floating in the river unhurriedly.

As he was drifting, a fish suddenly crashed into him and caught him in his hand.

After taking a few closer glances at the fish in his hand, Zhou Qing released the fish again and continued to hurry.

Underwater, he controlled the power of the water to propel himself forward, and naturally he couldn't find a strange phenomenon.

If someone is standing on the shore at this time, they can naturally see that in the middle of the river, there is a wave going straight forward, as if there is a big fish swimming underwater.

After he walked along the river for a while, on the bank of the river less than half a mile away, a father and son were standing by a thick wooden stake.

Above the thick wooden stake, there is a long bamboo pole with the thickness of a bowl, and two cross, slightly thinner, bamboo poles that are bent into a bow are tightly tied under the pole.

Two thinner bow-shaped bamboo poles are forked in a cross shape, and a large fishing net is attached underneath, covering most of the river surface five or six feet wide.

"Dad, can you ship a big deal tonight?"

A young man who was fishing asked his father.
