The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 41 The Drowning Man
Although from the old man's mouth, Li Leping learned that there is such an old man who lived from the Republic of China to the present in Qingshi Village.

However, he didn't plan to go to that wooden house to inquire about it immediately.

Because someone had already been to the wooden house before him, and since the young people who went in to explore the live broadcast did not die or encounter any strange things, it meant that the wooden house was probably safe.

But now, a child drowned and died suddenly in Qingshi Village.

After weighing the two, Li Leping decided to go and see what happened to "drowning".

Now that there are dead people, Li Leping has to think about this situation in a supernatural way.

When unsure of the location of a ghost, dead people are often the best locating device.

Anyway, the house is right there, can it be possible to run long?
"Hey, old man." Looking at the old man who had walked tens of meters away with a cane, Li Leping quickly chased after him and stopped him.

"What's the matter again?" The old man turned his head impatiently.

Although I took your money, my legs and feet are inconvenient. You made me stop and go. Believe it or not, I would collapse here on the spot right now. If you don't have a hundred thousand, you don't want me to stand up.

"Hehe, sir." Li Leping looked harmless to humans and animals, "To be honest, my friend and I specialize in writing ghost novels, and this time we came here to collect some folk tales."

"No, I heard that someone died, so we both wanted to go and have a look, so we took it as a source."

Hearing the words, the old man suddenly showed a look that seemed to be understandable, but a little incomprehensible, and said in a persuasive tone: "What's so good about dead people, they are all swollen, let's forget it, after all, they are all in the same village. Yes, let Lao Zhao know, it’s not good.”

Li Leping didn't speak, but the fingers stretched behind his back hooked.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng took a breath.

With slightly trembling hands, he took out the wallet from his pocket, and took out another 200 yuan from it.

"It's not about the money." The old man rejected it sternly, as if the appearance of collecting money before didn't exist at all.

"Damn... old man, didn't you say that just now? Now let's pretend to be a good person?"

Lu Sheng greeted the eighteen generations of the old man's ancestors from the bottom of his heart.

As usual, he would have already punched the old man to let the old man know why the flower is so popular.

But there is no way, who told me to have a big brother staring at him?
Afterwards, Lu Sheng took a deep breath and took out his property.

Ten banknotes were just taken out of his wallet by him.

With trembling hands, he handed the wad of money to the old man.

"This……"

The old man looked at the white banknotes, and couldn't take his eyes off immediately, and he trembled when he spoke.

In the next second, the uncle put the ten banknotes into his arms calmly, looking at his cheerful appearance, as if he had received some big treasure.

As for Lu Sheng, he has already started grinding his teeth.

If the old man pushes forward again, he may really go crazy.

"Hey." The old man looked very reluctant, pretending to have been struggling for a long time, and then he said: "Forget it, since you are so good, come with me."

"Remember to stay away from me. Don't let Lao Zhao see that I brought you here. If he asks, you should say that you are curious and follow quietly."

After the explanation, the old man immediately turned around and walked away quickly.

"Follow me." Li Leping winked at Lu Sheng.

Taking advantage of the distance between them and the old man, Li Leping looked at Lu Sheng and said, "You are also very straightforward, 1000 yuan, you can give it if you say it?"

"What?" Lu Sheng's eyes widened, only then did he realize that Li Leping was looking at him like he was looking at a big grudge.

"Didn't you ask me to pay for it?" Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and recalled Li Leping's gesture of hooking him.

"You misunderstood me." Li Leping shrugged, "I want you to give that old man a little color and let him be honest, but I didn't expect that you are so kind, and after being cheated of so much money , still thinking about settling accounts for others."

"In this case, I can only cooperate with your performance."

"What the hell." Lu Sheng felt his chest was blocked by something, and he was out of breath.

But looking at Li Leping, and thinking about his identity and the golden pistol on his body, he could only put on an expression of "I can't tell the pain" and walked all the way like this.

Under the guidance of the old man, the two followed him to a river.

It was dusk now, the river surface was clear and calm, and the red glow of the setting sun was reflected on the river surface, adding a layer of coquettish and strange.

The red surface of the water seemed to hide something invisible.

Everything is calm.

But this kind of calm made Li Leping feel a little uneasy.

Dozens of villagers have already gathered by the river at this moment, and Qingshi Village is only so big, if there is a little trouble, it will be passed on to ten, ten to hundreds.

They surrounded the driver Lao Zhao, each with different emotions in their eyes.

Fear, regret, sadness...

As for the driver, Lao Zhao, he knelt on the ground, crying heartbreakingly.

There seemed to be something lying in front of him. It was a five or six-year-old child wearing a thick coat. Normally, this coat could keep out the cold and keep warm, but once it fell into the water, the coat would absorb water. Become a burden, heavy coat will kill the man who falls into the water.

Lu Sheng is tall, with a height of 1.8 meters [-], he can see Lao Zhao and the dead child in his arms without squeezing into the crowd.

"vomit……"

After seeing the dead child clearly, Lu Sheng only felt that something was about to spit out from his chest.

Li Leping took a closer look, and his face became a little ugly.

The drowning child was swollen from the water after being picked up, and his whole body seemed to be enlarged. He looked very disgusting, and his complexion turned pale and bloodless.

"It's not right..." Li Leping withdrew from the crowd, a little skeptical.

"What's wrong?" Lu Sheng looked at him and asked.

Li Leping raised his head towards Lao Zhao: "Look at that child, he is white and swollen. I don't think he just drowned."

"Huh?" When he said this, Lu Sheng also realized that something was wrong.

Standing on tiptoe, he looked in the direction of the corpse. The child's corpse was wrapped in a thick coat, but his body was covered in white and swollen, which was particularly scary.

"You mean... there are unclean things in this river?" Lu Sheng understood Li Leping's meaning, and after leaving the crowd for a while, he whispered.

"I don't know, why don't you go down and have a look?" Li Leping suggested.

"Brother, stop joking with me. If there is a ghost in this river, wouldn't I fall into its way if I go down?" Lu Sheng said.

Li Leping glanced at him, did not speak, but walked to the river on his own.

The body was picked up near here, which means that the child fell into the river near here.

Look for it first, see if there are any clues.
