Meng Qiu thought that if his daughter was missing and was still being looked for, how could she think she was dead?
It's just that Meng Qiu can't always restrain this thought.
Therefore, she went to find the person who retrieved the body, which was my father.
At that time, she told my father about the situation. My father said that there were many things going on and he would choose a suitable time to see what was going on.
As a result, she had been waiting for half a year...
For the past six months, she couldn't sleep well every night.
And her man thought her hysteria was too severe, so he had to tie her to the bed in the middle of the night and not let her go anywhere...
While speaking, Meng Qiu raised his hand.
I could see at a glance that there were many old scars on her right wrist, as well as many new ones.
The second uncle frowned, and I looked at him slightly uneasily.
Regarding relationships, my father has actually not been here yet...
The second uncle smashed it in his mouth. He suddenly took out a bottle of Laobaigan and took a sip, but still said nothing.
Obviously, Meng Qiu was very uncomfortable. She said cautiously: "Mr. Liu, is there any problem?"
The second uncle was silent for a while and then said: "Are you sure that every time you see a ball of hair floating on the water?"
"Yes! That's right, I'm sure!" Meng Qiu nodded vigorously, his face turning slightly pale.
The second uncle narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly said: "I'm sorry, we can't do this."
I was also stunned when I heard what my second uncle said.
The next moment, he winked at me and motioned for me to go out.
Meng Qiu was obviously panicked. She hurriedly walked in front of her second uncle, stopped him, and asked uneasily why? Why can't it be done? When she talked to Liu Shuigui before, Liu Shuigui said it could be done, and he even took the deposit.
The second uncle's expression changed again, his eyes widened, and he said, "Have you collected the deposit?!"
Meng Qiu pursed his lips and nodded.
I couldn't restrain my doubts anymore and asked my second uncle what was going on, why couldn't we do it?
The second uncle's face gradually became ugly, and then he said: "Yin Yang, you haven't done much yet, and sometimes you don't know their characteristics. There are only two kinds of corpses with hair floating in the water, one is a walking corpse, and the other is a zombie." It’s death.”
"The zombies are ridiculously vicious. Death is just to avenge the ghosts. You old man accepted the fixed payment. What he is doing is simply nonsense!"
My complexion also changed.
Of course I know what death means. When we fished Wang Xue's son ashore, we almost got on the boat and died. Fortunately, we were not tainted with right and wrong.
And the walking corpse is the evil corpse that drowned in the water! This kind of corpse is meant to be killed in the water, and no one will ask anyone to fish it out.
However, I only know about them and have only seen them twice. About walking corpses, I have only heard about them from my father's stories.
My second uncle and I really have nothing to do with this matter...
But when my father accepted someone else's deposit, it was equivalent to having this dispute tied to him...
It is true that he is dead, I have taken over his mantle, and I have to deal with this matter. Otherwise, one day something happens to the Meng family because of their death, and I will be unlucky too.
I only thought about it for a moment, and my second uncle's expression became more and more uncertain.
Meng Qiu next to her kept holding on to the hem of her clothes, with pleading in her eyes.
After another half-quarter of an hour, the second uncle said something and said: "How much deposit did he receive? How much was the reward?"
Meng Qiu replied in a low voice: "Fifteen yuan, and the reward is a small yellow croaker. But don't worry, you two, as long as you can catch my daughter, the reward is negotiable." Her tone was extremely serious.
The second uncle's face looked a little better, and he murmured to me. He was afraid that my father would take all the reward and go do some bad things that had nothing to do with it, and we would be working here for nothing.
I was very embarrassed, but from what I heard, my father often went to wealthy families for work, so he should have made a lot of money.
Did he give all the subsidies to the village? Or did he do something we don’t know about?
Just as I was thinking about it, my second uncle looked at Meng Qiu and said, "My eldest brother has collected the deposit, so we really have to do this work, but we can't go into the water right now. We have to wait until dark."
Meng Qiu's face finally looked happy, and she immediately said, "I'll ask the servants to serve tea. You two are coming over quickly and have a rest first."
"A pot of tea and a pot of wine, something strong." The second uncle added.
Afterwards, we were invited into the main room to sit down by Meng Qiu.
Soon someone brought refreshments, and of course the wine that the second uncle asked for.
Time passed very slowly. The second uncle drank a lot and took a nap.
I figured out the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng and kept looking at them with my head down.
Yesterday I tried my luck to connect Xie Xiaohua with Yin. Now I have to hurry up and become more familiar with the nine techniques of Yin Sheng.
Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually turned from twilight to dark.
The second uncle took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes and stood up from his seat. His eyes became much sharper, and he stared at the pool.
"Don't look at it, Yin Yang, it's time to work." My second uncle called me.
I put away the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng, rubbed the center of my brows, and my consciousness was very clear.
I glanced at the pool very carefully, my eyes equally sharp and alert.
In fact, Meng Qiu stayed in the main room throughout the whole day, but stayed far away from us, sitting and watching in the corner of the main room.
Out of the corner of my eye I noticed her standing up and hurrying towards us.
"That's where I saw it before." Meng Qiu came to us soon, and she pointed to a location in the water pool.
The location is almost on the left corridor near the main room, about two or three meters away from the shore.
The second uncle hummed and walked out.
I walked side by side with him, and the two of us walked to the edge of the pool.
It was dark now, and the moonlight was shining down. The cold moonlight reflected the water surface, showing an indescribable coldness.
But the water surface that Meng Qiu pointed to was very calm. Where was the hair?
"Zombies can move, but death does not mean staying in one place forever. They should be wherever there are usually the most people." The second uncle said in a deep voice.
My heart skipped a beat and I said, "Why?"
My father taught me all the methods of fishing for corpses, but he didn’t teach me the common sense that my second uncle mentioned.
"The walking zombies want to kill people, and the dead want to avenge themselves. They will always look at the place where there are the most people, do you understand?" Second Uncle narrowed his eyes and said.
My eyelids couldn't help but beat wildly.
What the second uncle said is really simple and easy to understand...
But Meng Qiu was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body was trembling slightly.
