Chapter 13 "The Corpse Man" ([-])

Ah Kun was walking aimlessly on the street. He has been unemployed for almost a month. If he can't find a job within this month, then the food and rent for the next month will be lost.

Today, he went to several recruiting units again, but as before, he failed.At this time, his mood could no longer be described as 'depressed', it was simply 'quite depressed'.In this state of extreme loss, almost sleepwalking, he himself didn't know how long he had been walking, until a burst of crying pulled him back from the trance state to the real world.He looked around carefully, and found that he had come to a park before he knew it, with a fast-flowing river rushing by.

The cry came from the river not far ahead. There was no one in the secluded park at the moment. The tall trees on both sides of the road covered the entire park in darkness. In such an environment, I heard the cry suddenly. , It is indeed a little scary.Akun looked up at the sky, and through the mottled leaves, he could still vaguely see the dazzling sun above. He looked behind him again, and there were still cars passing by outside the park wall not far away.All this made him feel that he was not alone, and the fear disappeared.

He walked towards the depths of the park in the direction where the crying sound came from, and found a young woman sitting by the river crying. He felt very curious, so he walked over.

After questioning, I found out that the young woman's six-year-old child accidentally fell into the river while playing by the river yesterday, and the body has not been found yet.Hearing this, Akun couldn't help sighing. This river in the urban area often has urchins who stumbled, drunk men and college students who committed suicide drowned here. The water in this river is deep, fast and muddy. , so most of them can't even find their bodies, so people nearby call this river 'Death River'.

Originally, he planned to simply comfort the other party and leave, but seeing the grief-stricken look of the young woman in front of him, he really couldn't bear to leave like this. After much consideration, he made a decision.

"Sister, how about I go down to the river to help you fish out the child's body."

"Thank you for your kindness. The firefighters were busy all afternoon yesterday and couldn't find my child's body. What can you do?" After speaking, the young woman burst into tears again.

"Sister, I grew up by the sea since I was a child. The water quality is very good. If you tell me where your child fell, I might be able to help you pick up his body." Akun didn't say this to reassure the other party. It is true that he grew up by the sea, and his water quality is famous in dozens of villages around him.

Hearing what he said, the young woman stopped crying and pointed to the river not far away, indicating that the child fell from there.After confirming the location, Ah Kun took off his clothes, wearing only a pair of shorts, and jumped into the river with a "plop".

The river water was more turbid than expected, and the visibility was almost zero at half a meter away. Akun had to hold his breath and grope at the bottom of the river bit by bit. The rapid current would wash him away several times.In his hometown, although everyone is familiar with water, occasionally people will drown in the sea. Since he was a child, he has often heard adults talk about how to find dead bodies on the seabed, and now it finally comes in handy.

According to the speed of the water flow and the time when he fell into the water, Akun quickly calculated a rough area and began to search it with all his strength. The sky paid off. After several breaths, his hand finally touched a limp He grabbed it and pulled it out of the water, and it turned out to be the body of a boy.

When the young woman saw the child's body, her emotions that had just calmed down became agitated again. She took the child's body, hugged it tightly to her chest, and burst into tears.When she gradually regained her composure and wanted to thank Ah Kun, the other party had already dressed and left.
