Chapter 7
It was only nightfall, and Xie Que heard a few shouts from afar.
The few people who came were all nearby villagers.
They were panting and seemed to be running all the way. One of the women was crying and wiping away her tears.
Xie Que asked and found out that a villager threw himself into the river.
They wanted to save him, but the current at the dam upstream was so fast that the person was swept away in the blink of an eye.
The villagers wanted to beg Dashun to save people at this time, but Dashun was unmoved.
It's a rule to go into the water after a while, and neither Dashun nor the corpse hunters along the coast have ever broken this rule.
The corpse hunters who broke the rules have all died in the Wuding River forever.
Xie Queben felt sorry for these villagers, thinking that if he could make it in time, he might be able to save them.
But what happened today made him stop thinking about it.
Whether it was the evil that Er Meng encountered, or Fan Yong standing in front of him, Xie Que was in awe of this mysterious power.
Dashun also told him more than once that those who abide by the rules are the ones who live the longest.
After being rejected, the faces of several villagers became more and more anxious.
Except for Dashun, the nearest corpse hunters in the Wuding River area are at least 20 miles away, and everyone was cold when they walked there.
The wife of the villager who fell into the water even sat on the ground and began to cry.
Seeing that Dashun turned a deaf ear, several villagers had no choice but to focus on Xie Que.
Xie Que was also unmoved, no matter how the villagers tried to persuade him, Xie Que shook his head: "My father disagrees."
Seeing this, the villagers had no choice but to leave, planning to go to the river to have a look by themselves.
When it was Zishi, Xie Que followed his adoptive father to tidy up and came to the Wuding River.
According to the descriptions of several villagers, the body probably drifted to Lihuaba downstream at this time.
The water in Lihuaba is gentle, and there are lush reeds and shoals in several places, where the corpses usually stay.
As expected, a man's body was floating on it.
Xie Que salvaged it, and the death trial picture book turned a new page.
Light as a Swallow: With the blue entry, your Qinggong will be enhanced by [-]%.
Xie Que nodded with satisfaction, checked the name of the body, and found that it was the person that several villagers wanted to find in the evening.
Sighing, Xie Que sent it ashore, and then cruised around the river again.
After discovering that there are no other corpses, today is considered the end of work.
In the early morning of the second day, Xie Que trotted all the way to the teahouse outside Jinmen City, and began to have breakfast.
As the physical strength consumed by practicing boxing began to increase sharply, Xie Que's food intake also increased significantly.
Although the addition of the blue entry "Chemicals come out" makes Xie Que more efficient in absorbing the nutrients in food, but he has eaten eight meat buns the size of an adult's fist, which is a bit of a shame. Satiety.
However, Xie Que's food intake is not surprising, Jinmen City is full of martial arts, and many low-level people know how to do crops.
This also leads to the fact that all the men here eat more.
While sipping warm millet porridge, the conversation between the people at the next table inadvertently caught Xie Que's attention.
"Have you heard about what happened to the Fan family?"
"Fan Yuan's family in Nancheng... I heard that several people died..."
"I heard from my uncle that Yuan Yuan died not long ago. He had a nephew from afar who wanted to come to fight for the family property. The person he brought along and the young master of the Fan family directly fought in the mansion."
"But I've heard people say that's not the case..."
"I heard that the young master of the Fan family made a bet with a coachman, asking him to stay overnight at the Song family's ancestral temple."
"But the coachman was haunted by evil spirits in the Song family's ancestral temple, and also brought trouble to the Fan family."
"That night, more than ten members of the Fan family died."
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense about the Song Family Ancestral Temple, maybe it will find you one day."
At this point, several people silently closed their mouths, as if the Song Family Ancestral Temple was a topic that could not be discussed.
When Xie Que heard this, he felt confident, so he dropped a few coins and left.
As soon as he reached the city gate, Xie Que found a familiar figure.
It was Fan Yong, the young master of the Fan family whom he met yesterday, the one who came back from the dead.
He still wears a hood and walks with his head bowed, so that no one can see the slightest face.
Xie Que took a deep breath, stabilized his eager heart, and walked towards home.
When we got home, someone was already standing in front of the door.
It was a few villagers from yesterday. Although they had some complaints, they did not dare to cause trouble here.
Dashun is the longest-living corpse collector in the area. He has saved many children from drowning and is very popular among nearby villagers.
Several people pieced together the cost of collecting the body, and then took the man's body back.
Seeing that Er Meng hadn't arrived, Xie Que then remembered to tell Da Shun what happened to Er Meng.
Xie Que wanted to tell Dashun about Jia Dalin, but he couldn't explain how he learned about it, so he had to give up.
Dashun nodded after hearing this, entered the room, took out a small square box, and motioned for him to bring it to Ermeng.
Xie Que opened it and saw that there was actually a mountain ginseng inside.
Dashun left without explanation.
Xie Que sent it to Er Meng's home, and Er Meng quickly recovered after eating it, but he was still a little stupid.
He was a little puzzled why a single mountain ginseng had such an effect.
Ermeng's father took a puff of dry tobacco, smacked his lips and said, "Ermeng must have been sucked up by ghosts, just make up for it."
Xie Que suddenly understood.
After solving his doubts, Xie Que declined Er Meng's parents to let him have lunch and returned home.
He began to worry. According to what Ermeng's father said, didn't Jia Dalin turn into a ghost?
I picked up his body and got his memory, will he find me?
After thinking for a while, Xie Que got rid of distracting thoughts in his mind and started to practice boxing.
Soldiers came to block him, water came to cover him, thinking of Dashun who didn't seem worried, he gradually felt relieved.
In the afternoon, another person from Wangjiazhuang came to collect the corpse.
The one they took away was the corpse that was retrieved the day before yesterday, and Ermeng hadn't had time to deal with it.
But the other party seemed anxious and didn't care about the appearance of the corpse, so Dashun let him go.
It's just a slight discount on the body collection fee.
Er Meng was also dismissed by Dashun because he touched the objects on the corpse.
Although it is not stated clearly, this is the rule of the corpse hunter.
Ermeng's parents also knew that when their son lost his job, they asked Ermeng to go fishing with his father.
Dashun began to look around for new candidates, who must have five disadvantages and three deficiencies.
However, most of the surrounding villages believe in ghosts and gods, and the family would rather have one less worker than their children to be exposed to such a job.
Fortunately, no body was found in the next two days, which made Xie Que regretful but also a little lucky.
After all, the weather is starting to get hotter, and the smell will be very strong if no one handles the body.
It was not until three days later that Dashun found a boy missing his little finger in Jinmen City who was willing to do this business.
