"Second uncle...she is following behind...the boat must go faster."
I bit the bullet and spoke to my second uncle very cautiously.
The second uncle didn't even look back. He snorted coldly and said, "I know she's following her. The corpse of the evil spirit is very troublesome. It's not enough to cut off the head, it has to be burned to ashes. Go ashore first and ignore her."
On the way back, Cao Yonggui kept silent, just holding the cat bone pottery.
As for Wang Guaizi, he was hiding next to his second uncle's legs and didn't even stand up.
I rested for a long time, regained a little energy, and felt much better.
In fact, I didn't go into the water this time, I just took the water. At most, I just grabbed the embroidered shoes and moved the dead man's feet.
But now I am still exhausted, and I have roughly thought of a possibility.
Connecting Yin will also consume your energy. If you focus on connecting Yin once, you will be so tired after that.
Finally, we returned to the dock.
This pier is the same one we visited twice before to unload cargo.
After landing, we looked back at the water and saw that Tang Xiuxiu's head and headless body were no longer following us.
At first glance, the water surface of the hanging river is extremely quiet, with nothing but the faintly reflected moon.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Xiao Li, Mr. Liu, has my wife really become a murderous corpse and a sneaky person? She can't come back?" Cao Yonggui's tired and tormented voice came from the side.
I turned around and saw Cao Yonggui looking at my second uncle and me with a pleading look on his face.
I looked troubled.
The second uncle frowned and said, "There is no way to save him."
"But she finally saw that I was about to jump into the river, and she came up. She..." Cao Yonggui said with difficulty.
The second uncle narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Did she do anything good when she came up? Did she follow us back in a good manner, or did she just let the yin and yang follow the yin? She came up to kill all of us! You are alone. Where is enough?”
"If it weren't for the two brushes that Yin and Yang and I had, Xuanhe would have lost two body fishermen today and half of them would have picked up Yin Po!" Obviously, the second uncle's tone became more and more unkind.
I sighed, actually looking at Cao Yonggui's appearance, I couldn't bear it.
However, for him to be able to bring back the fetus is the best I can do.
If I knew more about the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng, I shouldn't give Tang Xiuxiu a Yin connection. Doing something taboo is really testing me on the verge of death.
If it hadn't been for my second uncle's knife, I might be here today.
It would be impossible for any experienced female collector to take over this business.
I saw that the second uncle's words were too sharp, Cao Yonggui's face turned red, and he was getting more and more unable to stand, so I quickly stopped the second uncle.
He also persuaded Cao Yonggui to refrain from mourning, saying that this was the best result for him to serve his children well.
There are many things that cannot be obtained by force. It is already a blessing to have a child by his side. He can only do more good deeds as a way to accumulate virtue for Tang Xiuxiu, and maybe there will be a turn for the better.
Cao Yonggui found his way and seemed to be understood. He kept saying thank you gratefully to me.
The second uncle sighed, touched his waist, and muttered a few more words, probably because he was out of wine, which was bad luck.
I told my second uncle, how about I wait here with Cao Yonggui and let him buy a drink?
The second uncle waved his hand and said: "It's just the vaginal fetus, or the fetal pottery you have put away. It is no longer considered a dead person. There is no need to wait on the dock." "Let's clear up our money and matters, Boss Cao." You go home directly, Yin and Yang and I still have things to do." In the last sentence, the second uncle was obviously talking to Cao Yonggui.
Cao Yonggui carefully put the cat bone pottery into his arms and then took out a small cloth bag.
At this moment, his demeanor has returned to normal, he is no longer so depressed, and he is respectful to us again.
He handed the cloth bag to his second uncle. After he opened it, he frowned slightly and said, "It's not enough." From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the cloth bag in my uncle's hand. Under the moonlight, it turned out to be a thin piece of cloth. Thin gold bars!
The big yellow croaker is as thick as a baby's arm, and the small yellow croaker gold bar is as thick as a finger, and must be as long as a palm!
It's just that my second uncle didn't say enough, which made me feel uncomfortable.
Didn't the second uncle agree that it would be impossible to raise the price? When we go out to do business, the remuneration should have been negotiated long ago.
Even if it wasn't me, what my second uncle and Cao Yonggui talked about was what my father had agreed upon at that time.
Now that we're ashore, why did the second uncle suddenly increase the price with Cao Yonggui?
Cao Yonggui also looked slightly flustered.
The second uncle glanced at me, and then said: "What my eldest brother and you discussed at that time was the price of the person who fished out the corpse. We didn't discuss the price of picking up the corpse. I failed to fish your mother-in-law out, but she was allowed to be picked up. When you get Yin, you hold the baby, and Yin Yang also takes care of the mother-in-law."
"This little yellow croaker is the reward for picking up the corpse. You have to prepare another one. This is the rule. As for how much, you can do whatever you want."
"This is not me asking you to ask for a price on the spot, but a rule. If I don't charge you, something will happen to you if you take the water route in the future." The second uncle's words were logical, and I suddenly understood.
Cao Yonggui also understood after hearing this. He was obviously a reasonable and reasonable person. He hurriedly rummaged around in his pocket again, gathered up a few large coins, clenched them together, and handed them to his second uncle.
At first glance, I saw it was about four or five yuan, but I thought it was quite a lot.
After all, Tang Xiuxiu failed to land...
The second uncle was obviously very satisfied, with a smile on his face, and he didn't take it all, only took one yuan, and gave the rest to Cao Yonggui.
Cao Yonggui was stunned. He was a little anxious and asked if his second uncle was too young.
The second uncle shook his head and said that if Cao Yonggui gave him one dollar, he would think it was too little. Now that he has taken out everything he can, he understands the rules and respects the person who fished the corpse, so he only took one dollar. It was also him. rules.
Cao Yonggui still wanted to stuff money, but his second uncle waved his hand and said no.
At this moment, Wang Guaizi next to me said cautiously: "Should I kill the chicken on my boat?" I also realized that I had to kill the chicken after removing the carcass.
Obviously the ship is also prepared.
The second uncle immediately shook his head, glared at Wang Guaizi, and said, "What to kill? The river god didn't let anyone come ashore, so he has no chickens to worship today."
Wang Guaizi smiled sarcastically and wiped his forehead.
Then Cao Yonggui gave Wang Guaizi three yuan as a reward for using the boat, and also expressed his gratitude to Wang Guaizi.
Wang Guaizi was scared to death before, but now he was happy after taking the money, with a smile on his face. He even patted his chest with Cao Yonggui, saying that there was still such a thing, and continued to look for him, and he continued to handle it!
Cao Yonggui's body stiffened slightly, and his face suddenly became unsightly.
The second uncle glared at Wang Guaizi again, and then said: "What are you talking about? What kind of thing is this? Wang Guaizi, are you scared and confused?"
Only then did Wang Guaizi realize. He apologized to Cao Yonggui again and again, and awkwardly told his second uncle that he was talking to his second uncle about this matter, not to curse Boss Cao.
The second uncle didn't have a good tone and said: "Then you are cursing me to be dug up and fished out of corpses every day?"
Wang Guaizi: "..."
He was clearly restless, and he didn't know what to say.
I smoothed things over.
Wang Guaizi then left dejectedly.
After Cao Yonggui expressed his gratitude again and again, he left the dock.
I was a little embarrassed and asked my second uncle if he was a bit too sharp towards Wang Guaizi. At least he helped.
The second uncle said angrily that he was already tolerant of Wang Guaizi, and in fact, what happened today would not be that serious.
All dead people in the water have the idea of looking for a scapegoat. But if Wang Guaizi didn't help pick up the embroidered shoes and dead feet, Tang Xiuxiu wouldn't be so cruel at all.
If he made this clear, Cao Yonggui and Wang Guaizi would definitely become enemies. Cao Yonggui liked his wife so much that he might stab Wang Guaizi to death.
I was stunned and hesitated for a moment, but I told my second uncle about the taboo about receiving vaginas from women. He said that Tang Xiuxiu's evil was related to her own inability to receive vaginas, so I forced her to receive vaginas.
The second uncle was also surprised. He frowned and said nothing for a long time.
After that, he reached out and patted my shoulder and said simply: "There won't be a next time." I nodded quickly and said I understood.
The second uncle took a deep breath, his tone became more solemn, and he told me word for word that it was useless to know that there would never be a next time. We were able to get on the boat today thanks to good luck.
I was stunned.
My second uncle just explained to me that the taboo for eating dead people is the most serious among us. Basically, those who find corpses will die immediately if they violate the taboo. Basically, there are no exceptions.
For example, taking the Yin Po and other things, but no one wants to violate taboos from any of the things he has heard of.
However, the second uncle explained again, saying that it was not a taboo to place dead bodies on end, it was just that it was troublesome and those who retrieved the corpses did not want to touch them.
After listening to this, I suddenly realized.
I also promised my second uncle that I would definitely memorize the taboos and never do them again.
My second uncle told me that promises were useless and that I should swear to the Xuanhe River and the River God. Otherwise, I would not be able to live up to the life my father gave me.
I could see how serious my second uncle was. When I mentioned my father, I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Now the life I have is not only my own, but also my father's and Luo Yinpo's. I really have to live carefully, otherwise I will not be able to bear their death.
I faced the outside of the pier, pointed my fingers together at the sky, and swore a poisonous oath, promising not to break the taboo of receiving the Yin woman, otherwise I would be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky, and I would never be reincarnated if I die!
The second uncle nodded with satisfaction.
He handed me the little yellow croaker and told me to keep it and find a gold shop tomorrow to exchange all the money I had for small yellow croaker.
I installed it carefully, and then asked my second uncle, where are we going now? In fact, we could just go to his house with Cao Yonggui to rest for a night, and come back to the dock tomorrow to repair the corpse boat. Otherwise, we won't be able to go back home, and we won't have a place to stay tonight.
The second uncle waved his hand and said that the corpse-retrieving boat had not lasted until the night. Now that the matter was done, he had to repair the corpse-retrieving boat immediately.
Otherwise, even if he waits for him to sleep and closes his eyes, the Patriarch will have to cut his head with a divination knife in his dream.
It dawned on me.
The second uncle walked towards the corpse boat at the other end, and I rolled up my sleeves, ready to help him.
We just walked to the other side of the pier and looked down.
My head just buzzed.
The second uncle also cursed the word "Cao"!
Because there is a person floating next to the corpse boat...
And this is still a man, facing up, his eyes wide open, and his face is convulsed and ferocious.
Those stern eyes seemed to be staring at my second uncle and me!
