Back in the main room, Zhou Min's parents had stopped crying, but there were still tears in the corners of their eyes, and their expressions were sad. It seemed that the death of their only daughter, a white-haired person giving a black-haired person, really hit them hard. Even if it has been two years,

Months later, they still feel sad when they think about it... I don't know what to do, so I can only comfort the two old people with a few words and then leave. "Perhaps, the best comfort for them is to find someone

Please reveal the true cause of Zhou Min’s death so that she can truly rest in peace.”

I thought to myself. When I returned to the coffin shop, Lao Cao had stopped making coffins. I saw a man in coarse shorts and black linen clothes standing next to Lao Cao, discussing something with him in a low voice. Lao Cao smoked

I was smoking my pipe, looking thoughtful. I didn't think much, stepped across the threshold, and shouted "Old Cao, I'm back. Are there guests?"

Both he and the man turned to look at me. "Xiao Wu is back? This is Li Miao, the corpse collector from the Sichuan River."

Corpse fisher! I was shocked and thought what a coincidence. I was thinking about Zhou Min, and it would be best to fish her body out first. If she really died from a sorcery, there should be some leftover.

You can examine the traces carefully. Of course, we have just met each other.

The origin and purpose of his visit are still unclear. I also don’t know the price he pays for fishing for a corpse. Naturally, I won’t speak rashly. I just said in surprise: "Corpse collector? This is a very powerful business in the miscellaneous sect. Dare I ask this?

Big brother, are you the Red Boat Beard?"

Originally, the middle-aged man named Li Miao was a little surprised when he saw that Lao Cao didn't address me as a pure junior. Now when he heard me speak, he was also surprised. He looked at me with a surprised look.

, said. "Little brother is not an ordinary person! Not only does he know that our corpse fishing belongs to the miscellaneous sect, but he also knows about it, too. Unfortunately, I am not a red boat bearded man, I am just an ordinary corpse fisher."

people."

At the end, Li Miao's tone seemed a little low. I can probably understand it. Although the red boat bearded man did more than simply fish out corpses, he also had responsibilities such as patrolling the waters and inspecting the water conditions. But he basically represented

He is the pinnacle of the body-catching industry. To use a common saying: one

He is not a good corpse collector because he doesn’t want to be a bearded corpse collector in the Red Boat! But at this time, Lao Cao blew out a smoke ring and said slowly. "Li’s reputation as a corpse collector is unparalleled in Shuxi County.

Don’t know? How can you say he is an ordinary corpse collector? Xiao Wu, he is just too humble."

I actually know very well that he is really an ordinary corpse collector, and Lao Cao has no intention of talking nonsense with him. He is obviously a person with extraordinary skills. At least in the corpse harvesting business, he should not be worse than Uncle Yuan Fei... Finished

Lao Cao looked at Li Miao again: "Xiao Wu was ordered by one of my seniors to live in my coffin shop and follow me. He has a great identity. Don't underestimate him. This guy just defeated him head-on in a literary fight."

I."

What?! Li Miao was shocked, and the expression he looked at me was even more surprised. "This little Wu brother looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, right? A junior high school student? Can he defeat you, Cao Coffin Maker? I don't believe it!"

He shook his head vigorously. Lao Cao wanted to refute, but I spoke first - after all, I am still a young man, and no matter how mature my mind is, I am still a bit competitive. How can I bear it when I see being questioned? "Brother Li

, ambition does not depend on age. Don’t underestimate me.”

While talking, I took out two stones from my pocket and threw them randomly towards my feet, and then took a step. Li Miao's expression suddenly changed. I knew why. Because in Li Miao's sight, he must be looking at

There were two me! Li Miao sighed: "Such a close-range illusion? This little brother is indeed a well-known teacher. He is a young hero."

In fact, this is not a direct illusion. It is the effect of the miniature Qimen formation - which is the method I used when fighting with Lao Cao Wen not long ago. I just learned it two days ago. It is a kind of current learning and application. I smiled

Shaking his head: "Young heroes can't be talked about. But I won't deny that my master is from a famous family. After all, I can't be humble for my master. Although I don't know where she comes from... By the way, Brother Li came to see me.

What's wrong with Cao?"

I asked casually. Lao Cao would never hide anything from me anyway, so I simply asked Li Miao directly in person. "This..." Li Miao's eyes looked at Lao Cao. Lao Cao nodded.

: "You can tell Xiao Wu anything you want me to do, and he will listen."

With Lao Cao's approval, Li Miao no longer hid it and told him his purpose again... It turned out that more than half a month ago, a family from Xiaowan Village, more than ten miles south of Lianghe Town,

, a five or six-year-old child in the family unfortunately drowned while playing in the water. The family was devastated, and through their friends, they found Li Miao, a well-known corpse collector within dozens of miles. They asked him to help rescue their child.

.Li Miao received this

When he was working, he thought this was a very easy thing. Indeed, this kind of accidental drowning, and it was a five or six-year-old child, there should be no trouble or danger. For him, it was almost like eating and drinking.

Water is as simple as water. So, Li Miao rowed a boat and came to meet the family outside Xiaowan Village. The man's surname was Xiao and his name was Xiao Mao. He was the son of the village chief of Xiaowan Village. After graduating from college, he returned to the village to engage in breeding.

this year

With the rapid development of society and the booming economy, modern large-scale mechanized breeding plants have become common in big cities. Although the chickens, ducks and pigs raised in this quick-fix model have high yields, they are increasingly becoming bland and tasteless. As a result, cities

Rich people here are beginning to like to eat "local vegetables" again. That is, local chickens, local ducks, local pigs, these are purely natural ingredients raised by farmers. Although it is just a trend, Xiao Mao thinks it is very exciting, so

After graduating from junior college, he returned to the village and started farming. Seeing that his career was getting better and better, his wife was beautiful and gentle, and his children were cute and lovable... But one day at noon, when the couple was taking a nap, a

A man sneaked to the river to play in the water and was drowned. "Mr. Li, I leave my son's body to you. No matter what, I hope he can be buried in peace. He will not be floating in the water and become a lonely soul."

ghost."

Xiao Mao's eye circles were still a little red, and his wife was crying and speechless. Li Miao stared at the couple carefully for a while, and felt more relieved. Although he was not a physiognomist and could not read faces, but he was not familiar with people.

The basic temperament of a person can still be discerned, much more sharply than ordinary people. Li Miao could tell at a glance that Xiao Mao and his wife were both kind-hearted people. He also heard that they had a good reputation in Xiaowan Village and were kind to others.

,think

Bina, the child who drowned the corpse, also lived a happy life. After some calculations in his mind, Li Miao was ready to start collecting the corpse. The reason why Xiaowan Village is called this is because it happens to be at a bend of the Chuanjiang River. The Chuanjiang River flows from the north.

, here suddenly turned west, forming a river bend. It was like a "ji" shape turned ninety degrees counterclockwise. Therefore, the water flow slowed down, bringing a large amount of sediment deposition, forming a river

Bay flat beach. Therefore, in the late Qing Dynasty, a small village was formed. It is precisely because it is a river bay area, so floating corpses from the upper reaches and local drowned people will accumulate on the east coast here. They can often be seen

Some nameless floating corpses. Generally speaking, female floating corpses face down and male floating corpses face up. If not, it means that they may have transformed into corpses! Li Miao told Xiao Mao and his wife that drowned people have the strongest Yin energy.

daytime

They rarely come out and are difficult to catch. At night, the corpses will surface one by one, floating like pieces of wood, drifting with the waves. Li Miao asked Xiao Mao if he knew about the drowned children.

His name was Xiao Sheng. He said to the couple again, "When it's twelve o'clock in the evening, give me one of your child's clothes before he was born, and get his favorite toy. Grab a handful of soil from the threshold. I'll go

Fish him out from the east bank of the river bend."
