Chapter 14 "The Corpse Man" ([-])
Because of the exhaustion from being busy in the river the day before, Akun didn’t get up until almost noon the next day. After he had finished washing up, he wanted to go out and try his luck at several recruiting units, when the doorbell suddenly rang.

He opened the door, and there was a strange middle-aged couple standing outside.He was about to ask who they were looking for, but the other party spoke first.

"Excuse me, is your name Akun?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Akun was a little surprised that they knew their names.

"Yesterday you helped a young woman bring up her drowned child, didn't you?" the other party asked.

It turned out to be this matter. It seems that the other party and that young woman are relatives. I left quietly yesterday. They may have found out my name and address from somewhere, and they came here to express their gratitude.Thinking of this, Akun quickly said: "It's a trivial matter, nothing."

At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly grabbed Akun's hand heavily, "Big brother, please help us too." This moment really confused Akun.

After questioning, I learned that the 20-year-old son of the middle-aged couple was drunk a week ago and accidentally fell into the "Death River" and drowned. The body has never been found. The couple think about it every day. Sad to see the child die without a whole body.No, yesterday I heard that a young man helped a young woman to fish up the body of her drowned child. They hurriedly inquired around, and finally found out Akun's address and came to ask him for help.

After Akun learned what happened, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Out of morality, he should help them, but to be honest, his behavior yesterday was actually a little impulsive. The "Death River" was indeed too dangerous. Nearly got 'it' left there several times too.

Seeing Akun's distressed face, the middle-aged man took out a wad of money from his pocket, and said, "We also know that the river is dangerous, and we won't make you work hard for nothing, so you accept it." He said. Then he stuffed the money into Akun's pocket.

"Don't! Don't! That's not what I meant." Akun said while pushing back.

"Brother, please help us." At this moment, the middle-aged woman knelt down with a 'plop', and Akun quickly helped her up.

"Okay, I'll just walk with you." Akun had no choice but to agree to the other party, and simply packed up and followed them out.

Because the deceased has been drowned for almost a week, the scope of salvage has been greatly increased. However, because of the experience of the previous day, Akun searched for a rest and spent almost three hours. Finally, the middle-aged couple drowned the son's body. The body was brought up.After the couple thanked them a thousand times, they left with their son's body, while Akun returned home with his exhausted body.

In the jacket pocket was the money that the middle-aged man had forced in. He counted it, and it was exactly one thousand.Although he doesn't want the money, but to be honest, the 1000 yuan is too important to him now, the rent and the food are all settled now.
