Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

Chapter 118 The Campfire by the River

People often die in the Han River due to missteps or suicide, so the profession of fishing team was born. They are fishermen on both sides of the river who live on the water.

All the policemen got into the police car, turned on their lights, and rushed towards the lower reaches of the Han River. Lao Wang and the young man who had just graduated were in the same car.

In the car, Lao Wang said to the young man: "Xiao Li, you can write the written materials that the director just said. Your Uncle Wang is not well-educated, so he can't handle these things, and his age is here, so it will be like this in the future. You are a college student, educated, and have a bright future. This opportunity to show your face is given to you!"

"Really? Thank you, Uncle Wang, then I'll treat you to dinner later!"

During the past journey, the fishing team had already been contacted. When everyone got out of the car, the fishing crew had already surrounded them.

The director said to everyone: "I made it clear on the phone just now, and I'll emphasize it again. This is a major case. Everyone must cheer up and find the body! Are you clear?"

"It's clear!" Everyone responded.

A skinny old man with dark skin and a red vest squeezed over, "Well, boss, the job is absolutely fine, don't worry, it's the salary, I didn't say it just now, I don't know."

"How much is your market price per day?"

"300!"

"This cooperation between the police and the people is also rare. It will be an honor for you if you do it well. When the time comes, we will send you a pennant and hang it on the wall. Wouldn't your business be much better? Today's funds are limited, 50 per person per day!"

When the old man heard that this was too little, he wanted to counter the price. The director waved his hand and left, and said to the people who were already preparing on the shore: "The task is urgent, start to act now!"

As soon as everyone heard this, they put the bamboo poles on the bank, and the boat quickly swung out, distributed on the river, and started working in full swing.

At the beginning, everyone was very motivated, but when they heard about fifty a day, the breath in their hearts immediately vented. Fifty a day is only enough for a meal!
They are all unwilling, but they dare to refuse, so they can only pretend and start working hard!

When Xiao Li found out about this problem, he was immediately unhappy. He had already thought about it. As long as he can get the job done this time, he can show his face in front of the leader with the report, and maybe the opportunity for promotion will come!
Seeing that everyone was going to spoil his own business, he hurried to Lao Wang and told him. Lao Wang comforted him and asked him to report to the director.

The director heard this, and patted Xiao Li on the shoulder, "Very well, this is the working attitude that young people should have. I heard from Lao Wang that you write the report, right? Then write all these in. I think you are the most self-motivated among those who came in with you. Work hard!"

In the evening when everyone had been busy since early morning, they naturally found nothing, so the director immediately reported to the higher authorities.

"Huh? I didn't find it. This is your ability to work? How do you want me to explain to the higher-ups? Fishing team, who came up with this bad idea? Lin what? It's in the report? You can prepare to review it and read it at the meeting next Monday. Don't be an example, you know!"

After the director made the phone call, he wiped the cold sweat off his brow. This time, he bet right. Next time, don't come to him for something like this. It's too dangerous!

As night fell, a bonfire was raised beside the Han River. A group of men dressed like migrant workers were eating meat and drinking wine around the bonfire. Judging from the different dialects spoken by this group of people, they should come from all over the world, but at this moment they got together for some unknown reason.

One of them, staggering from drinking, stood up, and said to the crowd: "Come on, does anyone want to pee?"

Everyone laughed and said: "Old Bai, you can't do it after just drinking such a little, it won't work next time, do you want me to serve your wife for you in the future?"

"Fuck you!" The man threw the beer bottle in his hand and cursed: "When I come back, I won't force you to death. When the time comes, let's see who is useless!"

The beer bottle smashed on the head of the man across from him, smashing it to pieces, but the man didn't even blow his eyelids, and he wasn't hurt. He didn't get angry and just said: "Everyone heard it, if Lao Bai can't drink me, then I'll get under his wife's bed!"

Everyone laughed and booed, swearing constantly.

After the torrential rain the day before yesterday, the moonlight tonight was extraordinarily bright, like a jade plate, shining brightly on the river.

A crystal jet of water threw an arc on the river. When Lao Bai was releasing water, he suddenly saw a black thing on the bank. He pulled up his trousers, went to push aside the weeds, and looked down. A person with frost on his face, his eyes closed, his face livid, half of his body frozen in ice appeared in front of him, and a long sword was stuck on top of the ice!
Old Bai excitedly returned to the side of the bonfire, shouting loudly: "Hey, look what I found?"

"You old boy, did you get kidney stones when you peed?"

Everyone laughed and cursed, and when they looked up, they saw Lao Bai holding a person frozen in ice in his arms.

"I'm stupid, Lao Bai, you can do it. Where did you conjure a person when you take a piss?"

Lao Bai threw the man in his arms on the ground, and everyone stepped forward to check.

"Unfortunately, it's a man!"

"Grass, Ma Laoliu, this is a corpse, what do you want to do if it's a woman? Such a strong taste?"

"Ghost monkey, I'm going to fuck you. I've dealt with corpses for half my life. I can tell at a glance whether this person is alive or dead. This person is still alive!"

"Pfft!" One of them pulled out the long sword stuck in his back, and said suspiciously: "A broken stone sword, I thought it was some kind of treasure." He threw the long sword away, and the other picked it up, looked carefully, then handed it to an old man with a wine lees and red nose, and said, "Brother, are you a veteran, palm eye?"

The old man took the long sword, looked at it under the red light, flicked the blade with his hand, made a muffled sound, and then sniffed it with his nose.

"It's not something in the soil, it's just an ordinary handicraft!"

After the old man finished speaking, the people next to him were no longer interested in the long sword. It seemed that they believed in the old man's judgment.

At this time, a thin man with a broken leather hat separated the crowd from behind, and carefully looked at the appearance of the man below.

"I seem to have seen this person before?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's curiosity was aroused, "Grass, it can't be a colleague!"

The little man took out a ball of paper from the torn canvas bag he was carrying, which he had collected for wiping his butt. At this time, he unfolded the ball of paper and placed it next to the man's face for careful comparison.

"Look, is it him?"

"It looks a bit like it."

"Like a fart, this is him!"

In the light of the fire, one can see a photo of the person printed on the paper, with a line of text underneath: wanted warrant, fugitive, Jiang You!
