As night falls, the last trace of skylight disappears.
The water in the hanging river behind became turbulent due to the approach of the new corpse-retrieving boat.
I didn't expect that Gou Santang would come!
Shouldn't he be waiting for us to salvage the coffin? !
Zhang Yang, as well as the group of corpse collectors we set out earlier, all looked surprised. It was obvious that they did not know that Gou Santang would suddenly appear!
In other words, this situation should be the first time, so he has never been here before.
After a brief moment of surprise, Zhang Yang glared at me with slightly narrowed eyes and said, "Now that our head of the family is here, I will tell him exactly what you said! The Gou family has given you a lot of money. Let's see what the head of the family will do." manage!"
What should he do? Obviously he didn't mean to be at a loss. But let’s see what Gou Santang will do to us and how to deal with us!
The rest of the corpse-retrieving boats stopped behind us, and Zhang Yang walked forward quickly.
I originally wanted to go forward and see Gou Santang's attitude.
But Liu Wensan called me and told me not to go there. He also said: "This Gou Santang came here strangely. I don't know what the plan is. It doesn't look like he is here to help us." "How come they have a coffin in these boats?" ?”
Following Liu Wensan's reminder, I also looked behind me.
On several corpse-retrieving boats, there was indeed a coffin.
The coffin is different from the coffin. The latter is the outer layer of the coffin. In many truly wealthy families, the coffins are stored in the coffin. This includes princes, generals and ministers throughout the ages without exception.
He asked us to retrieve the coffin, but he brought us a coffin...
I calmed down and suddenly guessed a possibility.
Could it be that Gou Santang wanted to fish out his ancestor's coffin and use another coffin to fill the grave?
This is simply ridiculous and disrespectful to our ancestors...
But this is a feasible method based on Feng Shui.
I suddenly felt that the Gou family was even more complicated. They had probably made plans to find old coffins over the years, and they must have had expert guidance.
While I was thinking, I also noticed that Gou Santang was looking at me.
Zhang Yang was talking about something and looked very excited, while Gou Santang looked very calm and seemed to have everything in mind.
"I don't like Gou Santang very much. The city is too deep. Do you see anything at Sixteen?" Liu Wensan asked in a much lower voice.
I listened and whispered my guess to Liu Wensan.
Liu Wensan was even more shocked. He was silent for a moment and replied: "It is better to retrieve the coffin from his own ancestral grave than to be forced to offend a big family. However, the Gou family has descendants like him. I wonder if the ancestors of the Gou family in Ai Gong's coffin will jump up in anger."
I shook my head and said: "There should be no resentment in the place where dragon energy gathers. There is a high probability that it is a good corpse, which may have already emerged."
While we were talking, suddenly there were waves swaying in the deep pool again, and several corpse collectors flashed their flashlights, which attracted my attention.
But he saw the wolf mastiff swimming towards the side of the boat with a dog-pawing motion.
I felt happy and called Xiao Hei.
In my previous life-and-death struggle with Xie Ming, I didn't care about the wolf mastiff at all. I was always worried about it and thought I had to go there.
But I didn’t expect it to swim over on its own!
The wolf mastiff got on the boat, shook his hair, and splashed water.
Only then did I see that it was actually holding the mourning stick that I had left in its mouth.
Walking up to me, the wolf mastiff spit out the mourning stick.
I touched its huge head and felt extremely touched and said thank you.
The wolf mastiff used its paws to pull at me twice before continuing to shake the water off its fur.
Gou Santang and Zhang Yang walked towards me.
Soon the two of them arrived in front of me, Zhang Yang said nothing.
Gou Santang said with a smile: "Mr. Yin-Yang is indeed Mr. Yin-Yang, and I didn't make any mistakes."
I frowned and was about to speak.
Gou Santang suddenly said: "Mr. Luo, this is indeed what you calculated."
"The Gou family had no intention of telling anyone about this matter. Now that you already know about it, you have tried to persuade me again and again."
"I know you didn't criticize the entire Gou family because of Meng Xinshu, otherwise, you wouldn't have ignored it at all."
This Gou Santang is flattering me.
A man like him must have some agenda.
After a moment of silence, I answered: "Uncle Wen collected the Gou family's large yellow croaker and I asked for information. This is also the rule."
Gou Santang laughed again and said, "Then I can say one more thing to Mr. Luo. This is also the rule of our Gou family, and this is the ancestral motto."
My expression changed again.
Ancestor training?
What kind of ancestral teaching is this to let future generations pull their coffins out of the water?
But this is enough as a reason.
I have no reason to ask any more questions.
Liu Wensan asked, what did they mean by bringing this coffin?
Gou Santang said again, this is also the ancestral teaching, so it is not convenient to say more.
After a pause, he asked us when we planned to start raising the coffin. We were almost ready for the preparations we should make.
I glanced at Liu Wensan. He was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Sixteen has broken the situation on the mountain. There should be no problem."
Gou Santang nodded and said, "That's troublesome. I will fulfill the conditions Xie Ming promised and salvage it, and then I will give you the real statue of Ai Gong."
Liu Wensan hummed and said nothing else.
Zhang Yang started arranging for people to go into the water.
After this back and forth, there were a total of sixty or seventy people. Two died on the way there, three died on the way up the mountain, and Kong Bin and six people were left behind at the foot of the mountain. There were only five or six people left. Ten already.
Obviously the people Gou Santang brought had things to do and did not get involved.
I'm still a little worried about Liu Wensan's physical condition.
After all, he had already exhausted his strength just now. Can he hold on this time?
While Zhang Yang and the others were preparing, Liu Wensan sat down to rest for a while, drank a lot of wine, and someone brought dry food and dried meat.
I also ate something and regained some strength.
Gou Santang was here, Zhang Yang didn't dare to be too arrogant, almost everything was ready, Liu Wensan was still smoking, and he didn't dare to rush.
About half an hour later, Liu Wensan stood up.
He stretched his muscles twice.
As soon as Zhang Yang raised his hand, the body fishermen No. 30 all jumped into the water and approached the center of the deep pool.
According to the last operation process, target the walking corpses first!
Liu Wensan smoked another cigarette, and just when the water there began to fluctuate violently, he plunged into the water.
After Liu Wensan disappeared from my sight, within a minute or two, the head of the iron coffin of the Ai Gong statue emerged!
The next moment, another group of corpse diggers went into the water to help Liu Wensan carry the coffin.
This is the role of the main hand. Liu Wensan must hold up the coffin before someone can help. Otherwise, it will definitely not be lifted.
When the iron rope was exposed above the water again, half of the coffin also appeared in the moonlight.
The faint cold light looked like a dark old man floating on the water.
The number of body-catchers who were separated to cut off the iron ropes was fewer than before.
Because the light was so poor, I couldn't see the current situation, let alone whether there was blood on the surface of the pool.
It's just that the water flow at the entrance of the deep pool has begun to become much faster...
The clicking sound seemed to form an echo on the water!
The rumbling sound sounded at the same time, as if the mountain was shaking a bit...
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was almost half an hour.
Suddenly there was a snap, and a burst of dazzling white light shot towards the center of the pool.
It was actually Gou Santang and the others who brought industrial flashlights with strong lighting on their boat.
I covered my eyes and almost went blind.
After a few seconds, he could barely see clearly that all the iron ropes on the iron coffin of the Ai Gong statue had been cut off.
A group of corpse hunters were dragging the iron coffin back...
The person in charge is clearly Liu Wensan!
At this moment, the wolf mastiff suddenly started barking fiercely and rapidly.
I was shocked, could something else happen?
And the next moment, the water flow became faster and more turbulent!
It's like the volume of water has increased several times, giving people the illusion that a torrent is about to enter a deep pool!
At the same time, the low mountains surrounding the deep pool on both sides are constantly cracking...
My expression changed drastically. This was because moving the coffin destroyed the dragon's energy. Is this deep pool going to break? !
Immediately, I pulled my neck and shouted loudly: "Uncle Wen! Come back quickly! I'm afraid this place won't be able to hold on!"
During this process, I couldn't help but glance at Gou Santang, but he was confident and still didn't look worried at all.
As if all this is under his control?
