"She can't make it to the shore, and her grievances have not been cleared. You said that those who are free will be free. Okay, I will follow Huang Qi and send you to a place. If it is true that those who are free will be free, nothing will happen. Otherwise In that case, you have to give an explanation!" My eyes were sharp and my tone became even heavier!
Lu Xiaoqin was obviously stunned for a moment, and her eyelids twitched wildly. It was obvious that there was a bit of sharpness in her eyebrows, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Mr. Xiao Li... why can't I understand what you said? Besides..." Lu Xiaoqin was obviously smiling, but she smiled very reluctantly.
The second uncle also frowned and walked to the side, but he didn't say a word.
Huang Qi hangs out on the dock all year round. He is a smart man, but he hesitates to speak.
"Mr. Xiao Li...isn't this necessary? Actually..." After hesitation, Huang Qi spoke.
I frowned and my eyes fell on Huang Qi.
The second uncle took out the wine bottle and took a sip of the wine. He suddenly said: "The reward is the reward, it is the money to solve this matter. The person who retrieved the corpse redressed the injustice. Yin and Yang are right. Su Susu cannot come to the shore." Yes, but there must be an explanation for this matter."
"Huang Qi, don't be blind about money. Send Lu Xiaoqin to the bureau, and Yin Yang will not go with you."
"I'll explain the matter clearly to you. Just tell me exactly what you said. If I find out that you didn't send the person there, you'll have to stay out of this dock by the river from now on." The second uncle's voice became even colder.
There was obvious sweat on Huang Qi's forehead.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoqin's expression completely changed. Her eyes widened and she suddenly spoke, cursing.
She said that after my second uncle and I took the money, we turned around and changed our minds. If we dared to send her to the police station, she could use the money to ask us to go into the water to do errands, and then she could hire someone to tie us up and go swimming!
The second uncle smiled instead of being angry. He said indifferently: "I used money to do things. I was doing it to solve the problem of you being killed. Now you won't die. This matter is over. Go to the police station and report it." It’s clear, you should go there, you don’t have to curse like a bitch.”
Lu Xiaoqin's eyes became sharper, and he was trying to break away from Huang Qi while cursing.
The second uncle glared at Huang Qi. Huang Qi's body trembled, and he immediately grabbed Lu Xiaoqin's elbow tightly.
Lu Xiaoqin screamed again in pain and cursed: "You untouchable! How dare you!"
Huang Qi was not angry. He just laughed to make up for it, and apologized to Lu Xiaoqin, telling her not to be angry. He was just making a living on the dock, so how could he dare to offend the body hunter? Anyway, just go into the situation and explain things clearly.
After all, Huang Qi said that his movements were really nimble. In just a few clicks, he actually pulled out a rope and tied Lu Xiaoqin tightly.
Lu Xiaoqin was still struggling and cursing, so he pulled a piece of cloth from his waist and blocked Lu Xiaoqin's mouth.
The second uncle was a little satisfied at this time. He probably told the story about Su Susu in a few words.
Huang Qi's eyes kept changing as he listened. He was obviously frightened. When he looked at Lu Xiaoqin, his eyes showed surprise and fear.
Moreover, Huang Qi was sweating on his forehead, with big beads of sweat.
I thought at the time that this was not normal.
After the second uncle finished speaking, Huang Qicai whispered unnaturally: "Old man Liu... Actually, I heard yesterday that a few thornheads drowned in Xiatou Village... But this is just a matter of hearing Said, someone called the police, but they haven’t made any announcement yet.”
My heart skipped a beat, but my second uncle waved his hand and asked Huang Qi to take the others.
Finally, he took out two or three dollars from his pocket and gave it to Huang Qi.
Then he casually pointed at the rooster that Huang Qi had brought over on the dock and asked Huang Qi to take it away. This thing was not needed and he would not sacrifice it to the river god this time.
Huang Qi's face suddenly burst into laughter.
He excitedly went to pick up the chicken, and then pushed Lu Xiaoqin away.
At this moment, I was still thinking about what Huang Qi said about Thornhead being drowned.
Thinking of Lu Xiaoqin looking for gangsters to drown Su Susu...could it be said that those people were also...
The corner of his eye swept over Huang Qi and Lu Xiaoqin, who had almost disappeared from sight.
I'm actually a little worried.
My second uncle seemed to see it. He told me not to think too much. Huang Qi would definitely not dare to deceive him. No one who begged for food in the Xuanhe river would dare to deceive the person who scooped up corpses, unless he would never go into the water again in his life.
Then I breathed a sigh of relief.
Now my temples were throbbing and my hands and feet were still very cold.
I lowered my head and noticed my wrist. There were quite a few small wounds on it... some were still oozing blood, and I didn't even react just now.
As for the pain in my ankle, it was blocked by my trouser leg, so I don’t know what the extent of the injury was.
"Let's go, Yin Yang." My second uncle called me.
"Where to go? Where is the paper man?" I asked.
"I'm not going. Are you still so young to be my second uncle? You are no longer as strong as a young man in his twenties. Go back to the village and let your second uncle take a breather and rest for two days." The second uncle shook his head.
"Then the Meng family..." I said unnaturally.
"When they are looking for us, they will definitely come to us." After the second uncle finished speaking, he walked towards the corpse boat.
At this moment, the sky has passed the darkest period without realizing it. The sky is covered with a faint purple color, and in the next moment, it will be dawn.
Fishermen and boatmen began to arrive on the pier one after another.
I asked my second uncle to get on the boat first and wait for me, then I turned around and ran towards the other side of the pier.
At this moment, there was a shop open for business on the pier. As I approached, the smell of steamed vegetables penetrated my nose.
I bought a lot of food at once, packed it up, bit into a hot bun, and headed back to the corpse boat.
After getting on the boat, the second uncle was stunned for a moment and said something about virtue.
I smiled and ate the buns hungrily.
The second uncle went to punt the boat.
By the time we arrived at the Cuntou Pier, it was already bright.
When we got back to my house, my second uncle didn't go to bed immediately. He took out the powder for bandaging wounds from my father's room, wiped it on all the injured areas on my hands, and bandaged it again. I grimaced in pain.
After it was done, he let me go to rest.
I was really exhausted, so I just took off my clothes and got into bed.
Almost touching the pillow, I fell into a deep sleep.
I slept like a baby this night.
But then I had a very brief dream, but the dream remained the same. A woman stood on the edge of the hanging river. She looked at me blankly and asked me not to go into the water.
That feeling of sadness makes people feel extremely depressed.
Moreover, this woman's appearance was blurry before, but now it is a little clearer. Her skin is light blue, and her appearance is pretty good.
This dream was so short that I couldn’t tell how long it lasted. In short, it just passed by in a flash.
I was still awake at that time, and the blazing sunlight shone in through the broken window, which made my eyes hurt.
My head was still dizzy, so I pulled a piece of clothing over my head and face and fell asleep again.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
My head is much clearer, and my whole person seems to be alive.
The second uncle is still sleeping at the moment, and there are constant snores coming from my father's room.
I went to heat up some vegetables I bought, ate a box of steamed rice noodles, and half a lotus leaf chicken. I was completely satisfied.
I went to the drawer and took out a candle to light it. I sat down on the threshold and was about to look at the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng.
On the village road outside my home, someone hurriedly came.
Looking from a distance, I recognized him. Isn't this person the village chief?
My heart skipped a beat, what could he have done when he came to my house?
This definitely didn't happen by chance, someone probably saw the corpse boat at the pier.
I also recalled something. After the five men were picked up a few days ago, my second uncle asked the village chief to discuss compensation. This money must be paid.
The village chief is probably here to talk about this matter.
After a while, he was at my door.
I stood up and called him. The village chief was out of breath, held his chest and said, "Li Yinyang, where is your second uncle?"
"Sleeping." I answered.
"Thank you for coming back. In the past two days, those families have demolished your house. They thought you two ran away. I have to wake up your second uncle and explain the compensation. Just give it and that's it." The village chief said hurriedly.
"Stop calling me uncle, just tell me. How much does it cost?" I took a deep breath and asked.
The village chief frowned, shook his head and said, "What can you do?"
But when he said this, his expression obviously changed slightly.
Because I happened to be looking at him, he obviously pushed back and his eyelids twitched slightly.
"I can." I tried my best to keep my tone calm.
The village chief muttered a few words, but I didn’t understand much. But soon, the village chief compared the numbers and said: “Fifteen big coins per household is not much, so I tried my best. It all depends on you for helping Xie Xiaohua with the vaginal discharge, otherwise, those five families would have lost 30 yuan to each family."
"When your second uncle wakes up, just tell him that you can find a way to raise money. Once the money is given, it will be over. We are all from the same village. There is no need to cause trouble..." the village chief continued.
"Seventy-five in total, village chief, please wait." After I finished speaking, I turned and entered my room.
Soon I came out with a money bag in my hand.
I handed the money bag to the village chief. The village chief obviously didn't react. He weighed it, opened it and took a look, his eyes widened.
Immediately the village chief poured out the money and counted them carefully one by one.
He counted back and forth seven or eight times before wiping the sweat from his forehead. With complicated eyes, he looked at me deeply and told me that he had taken care of the matter.
Turning around, the village chief was about to leave. He paused again, looked back at me, and said, "Li Yinyang, no one in the village thought that you could actually pick up the yin. It's not who Luo Yinpo taught you this skill." You can do it all, if you can do it well, no one in the village will look at you anymore, and even Luo Yinpo feels aggrieved in the water, why don't you fish her out?"
My chest seemed to be blocked, and I wanted to speak but didn't.
Instead, the village chief walked away in a hurry and quickly disappeared from my sight.
I sat at the door for a long time, thinking about what he said, but I didn't feel very happy.
At this moment, there was a slight sound from behind, like tiny footsteps.
The second uncle is still sleeping and his snoring has not stopped.
Who's walking behind me?
My eyelids twitched wildly and I turned my head sharply.
But I found that behind me, there was a red-haired black rooster standing, with a pair of blood-red rooster eyes, staring directly at me.
There seemed to be dried blood on its beak, which made my scalp numb a lot at that time. I subconsciously took half a step back, almost not hitting the threshold and falling...
