"Wang Xue harmed others and was killed. If this matter is not resolved, he will not be able to go ashore. There is no other discussion." The second uncle's tone was even colder.
Lu Xiaoqin's face became even paler. She clutched her clothes tightly and stopped asking her second uncle any more questions.
Instead, he pursed his lips and spoke to Huang Qi, asking him to do what his second uncle just said.
I was slightly relieved. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoqin cooperated. Otherwise, this matter would have been even more troublesome.
Huang Qi was obviously a little scared. Lu Xiaoqin promised to give him a lot of money, so he turned pale and hurried towards the city.
The second uncle's face looked a little better now and he walked towards the dock.
At this point, there were no rickshaws on the roadside, so we had to walk.
It took almost half an hour to walk before we finally arrived at the pier.
My second uncle and I didn't feel tired at all, but Lu Xiaoqin was panting and obviously couldn't walk anymore.
After the two of us got on the pier, she held on to the steps at the edge of the pier and stopped to rest.
The second uncle walked straight to the dock, where the corpse boat was retrieved and where Wang Xue drowned.
I cautiously asked my second uncle, what should we do about this?
The second uncle glanced at the water first, and then glanced at Lu Xiaoqin from the corner of his eye. His voice was much lower: "The injustice has its owner, and the debt has its owner. Now that the person who died unjustly has collected the debt, we just need to make it clear and give an explanation. Get that dead guy up first."
I listened with only a half-understanding, feeling that my second uncle seemed to have said it, but also seemed not to have said it.
Also, bring death upside down? Didn't Lu Xiaoqin say that he saw a dead woman's face in the bucket?
I asked my second uncle in a low voice, is that dead woman not in the Wang family? Didn't she climb up and harm someone?
The second uncle's eyes returned to the water and he said calmly: "You can only see ghosts in everything if you have a ghost in your heart. If it were so easy to get ashore, I wouldn't have thrown away the bottle of water corpse oil at Meng's house."
I can’t even understand it…
My second uncle told me that the body would still be in the same place and we would salvage it.
After saying this, the second uncle jumped into the water.
There was a splashing sound, and the river water splashed a lot, hitting my face with ice and cold.
Half of the body-retrieving boat still sank into the water. The second uncle dived into the water. After a while, the entire boat was pushed upwards diagonally.
I reacted immediately, reached out quickly, grabbed the rope tied to the pier at the bow of the boat, and pulled it up together!
At any rate, the body-retrieving boat was not big and not that heavy. My second uncle exerted his strength under the water, and I exerted my strength on top. In about a quarter of an hour, I got the body-retrieving boat onto the pier.
Under the moonlight, I saw now that at the very bottom of the corpse boat, there was a hole cut out. The hole was about as wide as a forearm. It was really not small...
The second uncle cursed a few curse words under his breath, got into the cabin of the bamboo shed, and pulled out a roll of something wrapped in cloth from the corner.
After opening it, what lay inside were wooden boards of different widths and lengths, as well as some tools, such as hammers and pliers.
It can be seen that these wooden boards are all made of specially made willow wood.
The second uncle arrived at the breach and started to mend the boat.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoqin also came to the side. She squatted beside the boat and watched carefully.
Her hair was slightly messy, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes still showed panic and helplessness.
It didn't take long for the second uncle to mend the boat. During this period, Huang Qi came over.
He carried a roll of straw mat on his back, which was still swaying when he got to the pier.
I saw it at a glance. Under the yellowed straw mat were a pair of iron-blue dead feet...
"Old man Liu... I brought Boss Wang here on my back." Huang Qi gasped and shouted.
At this time, the second uncle just finished patching up the hole.
He came out of the boat, glanced at Huang Qi, and asked him to put the body down with a hum.
Then the second uncle asked me to push the corpse boat back into the water.
I stepped forward to help. After the corpse boat was launched and it floated steadily on the river, I felt very happy.
Then the second uncle asked Huang Qi to get something more, including a rooster and some incense candles to offer fruits.
Huang Qi wiped his sweat and got off the dock again.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoqin stared blankly at the straw mat and kept wiping tears.
"Yin Yang, you tie a rope around its neck and tie it to the hull of the boat. Lu Xiaoqin, you get on the boat." The second uncle continued to order, and pointed at the straw mat with his hand.
My heart skipped a beat.
Lu Xiaoqin's expression changed, and she looked anxious to speak.
The second uncle said coldly: "If you don't want to die, just do as I say. Maybe Wang Xue can be buried alive. Otherwise, if I don't put him in the water now, he will have to come back when the time comes. This is him What a sin!"
Lu Xiaoqin's words were completely blocked, tears welling up in her eyes.
The second uncle got on the boat first, and Lu Xiaoqin followed him with staggering steps.
I followed my uncle's instructions and got a rope, then opened the straw mat and tied it around Wang Xue's neck.
When tying the rope, it was inevitable to look directly at Wang Xue's face.
The livid face of a dead man, with tightly closed eyes, and slightly open lips, but no teeth could be seen, only a black hole of mouth, which was extremely silent.
Especially since his body was covered with water, a lot of it squeezed out even when I tied the rope...
The whole body was like a swollen towel. I felt that if I applied any force, my skin might be broken.
After tying up Wang Xue, I grabbed his body under the shoulders and pulled it to the edge of the pier.
Wait for me to get on the boat first, and then pull the rope.
With a pop, the body entered the water, and then slowly and strangely floated up. The entire face was exposed first, and the rest of the body was slightly underwater.
If you are close, you can barely see it. If you are far away, you can only see a dead face on the water.
The second uncle urged me to be more agile with my hands and feet. I bit my tongue to make myself more awake and quickly tied the rope to the edge of the hull.
After I finished doing this, my second uncle started to punt the boat. This direction was obviously towards the place where we had retrieved the corpse.
In fact, it was okay at first. Lu Xiaoqin kept sitting with her legs bent.
When the corpse boat was far away from the dock, she was obviously uncomfortable. She wanted to speak, but she didn't dare.
I estimated the time, and when I was almost halfway, Lu Xiaoqin stood up and asked my second uncle uneasily, what should I do to solve the problem?
The second uncle said in a nonchalant tone, saying that every grievance has its owner, and that this matter has nothing to do with her, so just let her watch and don't keep asking.
Lu Xiaoqin stopped talking and sat back down again.
But I feel that Lu Xiaoqin seems to be abnormal...
I can't describe it, but the look in Lu Xiaoqin's eyes made me feel guilty.
When they almost reached the entrance of the river ditch, Lu Xiaoqin suddenly got into the cabin of the bamboo shed. She huddled together and said nothing, her eyes wandering.
After a while, our boat stopped at the place where Wang Xue’s son was fished out.
The second uncle came to the side of the boat. He stretched out his hand and pulled up the rope tied to the side of the boat, and pulled part of Wang Xue's body out of the water.
Suddenly, he slapped Wang Xue's body!
His slap was quite powerful!
I feel like Wang Xue’s face is about to be slapped crooked.
Then, the second uncle slapped him back with his backhand.
There were six slaps in total, and Wang Xue's face seemed to be sunken.
Lu Xiaoqin couldn't stand it anymore, her mouth was almost bitten, and she cried and said, can she stop beating her? To solve this matter, does she have to whip her man's corpse?
The second uncle said calmly: "If someone is killed by your man, slap him a few times, just to show off."
Then the second uncle asked me to slap him a few more times, and I did it forcefully.
And when I was smoking, I was always worried that Wang Xuexue would open his eyes...
I also took six strokes, and then my second uncle pointed to the water surface and asked me to go down and fish out the dead body.
My heart skipped a beat, but I didn't ask any more questions. I just checked what I had on me, put down the big black wooden box, and put on the green hemp gown.
Finally, I jumped directly into the water and swam forward a few meters.
The river water is cold and there are many aquatic plants in it, which sometimes block my hands and feet, as if there are many hands in the water, blocking me.
Nothing could be seen on the water, only the reflection of the moon.
I took a deep breath and plunged into the water.
The moment I entered the water, I felt a complete sense of depression, as if someone was about to punch me in the face...
I closed my eyes at first, otherwise the splashing water would hurt my eyes.
After coming down, I opened my eyes.
As a result, what I saw was the face of a dead woman that was extremely pale!
That face almost hit my nose!
She closed her eyes tightly, straightened her nose, pursed her mouth, but her eyebrows were slightly condensed.
Just looking at it makes me feel sick in my heart.
Before, I didn’t know what it was like to die underwater.
Now I can see clearly.
The woman's body was straight, but the whole body was facing forward, slightly tilted.
This should be due to the water flow. If it were completely still water, she would probably be standing in the water, which was simply terrifying to the extreme.
Although her eyes were closed, I felt like she was staring at me...
I shook my head, regained my composure, took out the rope and put it around her armpits and chest.
I tied her up in a few seconds, pulled the other end of the rope, and quickly surfaced.
Swim quickly towards the corpse boat.
When we got to the side, I immediately got on the boat.
Then I pulled the rope and pulled the dead body up with all my strength...
The other corpses recovered were all very heavy, and the one holding Wang Xue's son's leg was also very heavy.
But this time, it felt light and airy, and I easily got it on board.
And at this moment, a strange scene happened.
After I pulled her into the boat, the body was originally placed flat on the bottom of the boat. I also thought that the dead body was the largest, so I tried my best to keep her face up and not press her down.
But her body suddenly stood up!
There was a buzz, and the dead body stood inside the hull, as straight as a tree pole!
The moonlight shone on her face, and her eyes seemed to open a little...
Especially on her face, it seemed like black hair was beginning to grow...
This scene, not to mention how terrifying and infiltrating it is!
