I become a god in another world

Chapter 137

As soon as Uncle Liu finished speaking, everyone was hesitating. Suddenly, an old woman with gray hair who was being supported by her family also spoke up: "Pengju, take a look, this is a waste of time. Everyone has been out for a long time, and my family has left money." I’m tired, it’s time to go back and rest.”

"Milk, I'm not sleepy, I still want to see -"

When the child she held in her hand heard this, she quickly retorted, but before she could finish her words, Liu Shuniang covered her mouth.

Her prestige in the village is not as high as that of Sixth Uncle, but this old woman is usually kind to others. When people in the village are in trouble, she is usually willing to help, and everyone in the village has a deep impression of her.

As soon as she spoke, everyone else started urging her.

Everyone in the village was staring at the three people in the water. Kuai Pengju could not withstand the pressure. He hesitated and then reluctantly answered:

"Ok."

In full view of everyone, he bent down and put his hand into the water.

Oddly enough, Kuai Pengju's feet were in the water, and he had previously reached into the water with his right hand to grab the cage.

But after soaking for a long time, he didn't feel anything bad. When his left hand, which had never been touched by water, entered the water, he felt a heart-chilling coolness pass into his heart through his fingertips, making him shiver violently.

"hiss--"

He took a big breath and muttered:

"Why is this water so stinging? It's like the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter."

"I think it's because you care about her, so you can't bear to part with her, right?"

On the river bank, after his wife heard someone joke that he had coveted Mr. Zhuang, she became angry and stabbed him in a strange way.

"You bitch——"

Kuai Pengju glared at her sarcastically, then with a sudden heart, he put his left hand into the cage and touched Mr. Zhuang's head.

A large amount of hair came around the current and entangled his fingers.

There seemed to be some kind of eerie malice hidden under his hair, which made him shudder, as if someone was dragging his hand and trying to pull his body down.

Kuai Pengju was trembling with fear and was about to scream, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Kuai Pengcheng, Kuai Laosan and others standing not far away. The previous gloomy feeling was just his illusion.

He was certain in his heart, gritted his teeth, and gathered up the courage to pull Zhuang's hair randomly.

The man did not dare to look at the face of the woman in the cage, and his palms touched Zhuang's facial features.

He had wanted to do this move when Zhuang was alive, but when he touched it now, it was not as gentle and soft as he had imagined in his many midnight dreams.

What I started with was a cold dead face.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Zhuang's face had lost the elasticity of a living person and had a stiff and cold feeling unique to the dead.

That delicate nose was like a knife that would cut his fingers.

The teeth in her lips might bite him off, and her eyes might not open - countless weird and terrifying thoughts appeared in Kuai Pengju's mind.

But fortunately, these fearful imaginations did not happen.

He successfully pushed aside Zhuang's hair and touched her face.

She was motionless, like a pig that had been stabbed to death, curled up quietly and sleeping in the water.

The young woman's nose was no longer breathing.

Kuai Pengju slid along her chin to her neck. Her skin was cold and delicate, but he had no intention of feeling it at this time.

His heartbeat was fast and loud, and the blood was flowing rapidly in his body, almost overwhelming the feeling of his fingers.

After a long while, he confirmed that Mr. Zhuang had no pulse, then raised his head to look at Uncle Liu and others on the shore, and said in a trembling voice:

"Uncle Six, she is dead."

It's so strange.

Why did the woman who was sinking in the pig cage suddenly resurfaced from the river carrying a big stone? Uncle Liu was frightened and said again:

"Push her back into the river."

The three of them tried hard to push the pig cage and the woman's body into the river again, but the strange thing was that no matter how many people pushed it, the pig cage still floated under the water, vaguely revealing Zhuang's dead body.

"..."

Now everyone in Kuai Liang Village began to feel scared.

Many people backed down and were no longer as excited as before the execution. They just wanted to finish these chores and go home and lock the door.

"Hold it a little further."

Uncle Liu gave another order.

Kuai Pengju and Kuai Pengcheng no longer dared to touch the pig cage. They stood in the water. If it weren't for Uncle Liu's majesty, they wanted to go ashore immediately and stay away from the female corpse.

In the darkness, there were fires burning on the shore.

Tonight, everyone from Kuai Liang Village came here to watch the execution. A large row of people stood on the bank. The fire they lit formed a long dragon, illuminating half of the river bank.

Reflected in the shadows of the trees on the river bank at night, the water took on an eerie black color.

Under the black water, the dead woman's skin was so white that it seemed to reflect light. Against the background of the black water, it gave off an ominous and bleak aura.

The long hair is like a flexible water snake, winding around the woman's body.

'Whoosh - whoosh -'

The water rippled, and the long hair swayed back and forth under the water.

The woman's naked body was clearly visible.

Kuai Pengju finally couldn't bear the pressure in his heart:

"I'm going back to shore-"

He turned around to leave, but Kuai Laosan suddenly said: "Let go, I will float, and I will take her deeper. I don't believe she dares to cause trouble!"

"it is good!"

When Uncle Liu heard this, he shouted "Okay" loudly, "The third child is right. She, Mrs. Zhuang, has done something wrong. She has no chance of turning into a ghost. Even if she turns into a ghost, we have to ask her, How dare you discredit Kuai Liang Village."

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers who were originally frightened suddenly became confident again:

"Yes, she Zhuang stole people, she deserves to die, how can she have the nerve to turn into a ghost."

Kuai Laosan was so courageous that he shouted to Kuai Pengcheng and Kuai Pengju:

"Let go!"

After the two of them let go, he grabbed the pig cage with both hands and pushed it forward. With the force of the push, his whole body jumped out like a fish. He kicked hard with his legs, and the body in the cage slid instantly. Go out more than a foot away.

After arriving at the center of the river, he loosened his hand - the cage with the body and the boulder did not sink to the bottom as everyone expected, but floated strangely on the water.

'Gudong, Gudong! '

The bamboo cage floated and sank on the water's surface, like a buoy on a fishing line thrown into the water. Zhuang's body was swallowed by the black water for a while, and then surfaced again, which was horrifying to see.

"Uncle Six——"

The villagers who had finally worked up the courage before saw this scene and began to feel fear again.

Someone called Uncle Liu and whispered:

"That's not the way to go."

After all, Mr. Zhuang was sentenced to death by the village for stealing.

Although the villagers consider themselves righteous in this matter, it is not a good thing for Zhuang to steal a man. Once word spreads, the entire Kuailiang Village will become the laughing stock of the surrounding villages and towns.

"This river is a branch of the Shangjia River. If Zhuang's body is allowed to float like this, and if it goes down the river and is discovered by others, we will be completely embarrassed. How will the young men in the village get married? ?”

Most people in the village are close relatives and always marry outsiders.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. If the situation in the village is known, many young people will be single.

Uncle Liu also knew the seriousness of the problem.

"It seems like the river water can't cure this bitch!"

The old man gritted his teeth and said:

"This bitch was restless in life, and she will torture people in death to bring her back."

After complaining for a few words, he suddenly shouted: "Lao San, pull her back. Since she can't sink in her pond, pull her back and find another way to deal with it."

It was getting late now.

Normally, the villagers would have fallen asleep long ago, but tonight they were delayed by this incident and have not slept yet.

It was wet and cold by the river, and Zhuang's body could not sink to the bottom of the pond. The villagers gradually became a little restless and anxious to leave the place.

After hearing Uncle Liu's words, some people knew that things would not be easy tonight, and they couldn't help but worry:

"Uncle Six, how should we deal with this?"

"Could we still find a cemetery to bury her?" someone asked.

"How can such an unclean bitch be qualified to be buried——"

"How to deal with it?"

Everyone was talking about it.

Uncle Liu, who had been silent since speaking out before, suddenly sighed.

She glanced at the corpse in the river with some pity, and said again:

"Death is the most important thing. If you die, what's the use of mentioning past grudges——"

"She is absolutely not good at all, and she also gave birth to Manzhou for the fifth child."

Having said this, the old woman was startled and turned around to look around:

"Hey, where is Manzhou?"

When she shouted, the crowd that had been worried before suddenly froze.

Many people stepped back from each other and looked at each other:

"I didn't see Manzhou—"

Uncle Liu's heart sank and she shouted: "Lao Wu! Lao Wu! Where is your family Manzhou?"

"Where is Lao Wu?"

After she asked, everyone held torches and searched for a long time. Suddenly someone shouted: "Lao Wu is here."

Kuai Laowu, who was sullen and cowering, was pushed out. Liu Shuniang saw that his hands were folded in his sleeves. His wife was dead. He felt a little unhappy as if he were watching a play.

But this was not the time to blame him.

"Lao Wu, where is your family Manzhou?"

"who knows."

Kuai Laowu responded nonchalantly.

He was unkempt, his face was stained with dirt from nowhere, and his clothes were shabby, making him look extremely shabby.

Uncle Liu almost choked at his answer, and he added:

"That girl's film was always carried by her mother. Maybe she's hiding somewhere."

"you……"

Liu Shu Niang was so angry that he could not speak. At this moment, Liu Shu said impatiently:

"Stop arguing, is this the time to talk about this?"

He said somewhat annoyed:

"Man Zhou is such an adult and cannot be lost. Let's resolve the matter at hand first. Later, the villagers will look for Man Zhou together!"

Once he made the final decision, no one else said anything more.

Although Uncle Liu was worried, she had been with the old man for most of her life and knew his temper very well. If she persisted in asking, she would only anger him.

"Ugh."

She sighed, "I just pitied Manzhou and became a motherless child."

……

The episode here came to an end. On the other side, after Kuai Laosan pushed the woman in the pig cage into the middle of the river, he heard Uncle Liu's words again, wanting to drag Mr. Zhuang's body ashore.

He was tired, cold and a little scared now. He always felt that there seemed to be a pair of sinister eyes staring at him under the long and messy hair.

But Uncle Six was right. He couldn't just throw Zhuang's body naked into the water. What would it look like if someone saw it?

By then, not only Kuai Liang Village, but also their family will be in disgrace!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth again, swam to the side of the pig cage, reached out and grabbed the cage.

Under this grasp, Kuai Laosan didn't know whether it was because he had been soaked in water for a long time and his body had lost body temperature. He actually felt that the cage was colder and heavier. He could not push it alone, so he called Kuai Pengju and Kuai Peng. Cheng helped.

The two of them didn't want to agree at first, but Uncle Six on the shore was staring at them. In addition, the longer this matter dragged on, the more evil it became, so they were unwilling to stay here for a long time.

Uncle Liu has already said that he will find a way to deal with the body after hauling it ashore. It is much better than soaking in the water like this, neither up nor down.

The three of them worked together to drag the body ashore.

The water in the cage was flowing down along the shore, and Mr. Zhuang's curled-up body was lying quietly in the cage like a shrimp.

"Sixth, Sixth Uncle, what should we do?"

Kuai Laosan also dragged his heavy body ashore.

He is usually strong and energetic, and rarely suffers from illness. However, after soaking in the water for a while, he felt powerless.

A large amount of water rushed from his body into his trouser legs, causing him to step back and almost fall into the water.

Kuai Laosan stabilized his body and barely stepped on the mud by the river with his bare feet. He lowered his head and bent over to twist his trouser legs with his hands and twist them hard - the water was squeezed out, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The other two villagers who went into the water were in a similar situation to him. The two of them supported each other and managed to stand firm without falling into the water.

People on the shore gathered around a corpse in a pig cage and discussed what to do.

"If you ask me, chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs."

"Light the sky lantern——"

Everyone came up with ideas.

There was a look of intolerance on Uncle Liu's face, and her eyes fell on the woman in the pig cage.

'Gu Chi - Gu Chi -'

There were two strange sounds.

I don't know if Liu Shuniang was too old to be blind, but she always felt that the woman's black hair soaked in water was moving.

"Ah, is Manzhouniang still alive?"

She screamed.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding villagers were frightened.

"What? Not dead?"

The people who had been discussing how to dispose of the body quickly stepped back, and a huge open space was quickly vacated around Zhuang's body, leaving only messy footprints on the ground.

Uncle Liu retreated in panic, but the ground beside the river was slippery and he was old, so he almost fell.

If the villagers hadn't supported him at the critical moment, he would have been pushed to the ground and trampled on.

Still in shock, he quickly shouted: "Don't panic, everyone. How can a person survive being immersed in water for so long? Are you afraid that you may be mistaken?"

Uncle Six had a relatively high prestige. As soon as he spoke, the scene was immediately subdued.

The people who were about to run away in panic slowly stopped.

"Uncle Six is ​​right. Mr. Zhuang is not a monster with three heads and six arms. How could he survive being submerged in water for so long—"

Everyone stopped and slowly turned their heads.

Everyone gathered around again and stared at the corpse in the cage.

……

In the silence, only the water on Zhuang's hair flowed down the body, making a soft sound.
