[022] White River Village
When the carriage reached a road that could no longer move forward, Qin Yuesheng got off the car and felt deeply how strong his physique was now.
A steady stream of vitality surged out of the body, and there was considerable explosive power in the movements of hands and feet.
Bang!
As soon as he stepped on the ground with one foot, a two-finger-deep footprint suddenly appeared on the dirt road.
"It's done." Qin Yuesheng nodded with satisfaction.
What no one expected was that Qin Yuesheng was the one who seemed the least effort when he walked all the way to Baihe Village. When he arrived at his destination, he didn't even breathe, and he didn't even sweat.
The whole person's expression looked quite calm.
"Is this Baihe Village? The scenery is pretty good." Qin Yuesheng said, looking at Baihe Village not far away and the scenery in the distance.
The entrance of Baihe Village is a high slope. Standing here, you can see Gusu Fishing Bay near the east of the village. Further away are green mountains and white clouds.
"In addition to the water lotus children, mushrooms, yam, okra, and fish and shrimp in Baihe Village are all famous specialties here. The young master can ask the household to give some money later and let them make farm dishes and taste the taste." Hua Shique said.
He has been to Baihe Village many times and is quite familiar with the situation here.
"It's easy to say." Qin Yuesheng stepped down the slope and led a group of people into Baihe Village.
Without wasting time, after Hua Shique entered the village, he approached Su Daqiang, a villager who was responsible for supplying water lotus children to Qin Mansion.
This person is about forty or fifty years old, with a honest and honest look on his face.
When Qin Yuesheng followed Hua Shique into Su Daqiang's house, the other party was feeding chickens in the yard. Two women, one old and one young, were sitting in the corner of the yard, leaning beans, and a child with a small braid ran around the yard with a wooden windmill.
"Su Daqiang." Hua Shique shouted.
The man put down the dustpan of the corn and turned around.
"Mr. Hua." Su Daqiang quickly came up, "I asked a fellow villager who went to Qingyang City to bring you a message. Do you know?"
"I understand." Hua Shique stroked his beard: "How could this happen in the beautiful Gusu Yuwan? This has never happened before. Have you reported to the official in your village?"
"I reported it, but it's useless. Now it's embarrassing to get off the water. A few days later, my broken limbs and arms appeared on the shore. Not to mention going into the water to find the Shuilian Tong, our village didn't even dare to fish near the shore."
Faced with Su Daqiang's big complaints, Hua Shique asked: "What do those constables come here to say? Is there any investigation?"
"We can't investigate. They don't know what was the case. We rowed a boat and took them to the water surface of Gusu Yuwan to take a look. In the end, no one dared to do the business of Shui Liantong anymore."
Gusu Yuwan cannot be shipped, which is definitely a huge loss for the surrounding areas. Shuiliantong is equivalent to a specialty of Qingyang City. If this business cannot be done, the income of the villagers in Baihe Village will definitely be greatly reduced.
What’s more important is that the Qin family has a medicinal food restaurant specializing in the signature dish of Shuiliantong in Qingyang City. If there is no water lotus children produced in Baihe Village, the Qin family will have to go to the farther Shuiliantong production area to buy goods, which will invisibly increase a lot of expenses, which is very unfavorable.
"Take me to the shore and take a look." Qin Yuesheng said.
"Mr. Hua, who is this?" Su Daqiang was puzzled.
"He is the young master of Qin's house,"
Wu Yun Xinglong
Since Qin Yuesheng said so, Su Daqiang naturally had nothing to refuse, so he led Qin Yuesheng and his group to Gusu Yuwan.
The so-called Gusu Fishing Bay refers to a tributary of the Gusu River. The surface of this river is covered with lotus leaf-like plants called water umbrellas. The rhizomes of this aquatic plant can grow up to half a meter or several feet above the water surface, which is quite concealing the visibility of the field of view.
As soon as Qin Yuesheng came to Gusu Yuwan, he looked at it for a moment, and asked Cao Zhengchun to buy a chicken in the village and throw it into the river.
Under the gaze of everyone, the hen was seen flapping its wings and preparing to swim to the shore after falling into the water. Qin Yuesheng certainly could not give it such a chance. He bent down and picked up a few irregular stones from the ground and threw them at the moving hen.
Qin Yuesheng mastered the flying knife technique and was inseparable from his primitive changes, so he also had certain skills in throwing small objects.
Although his level of flying sword skills is only a beginner and is definitely unsatisfactory in terms of accuracy, Qin Yuesheng lost four stones in a row when he was close to the shore. Finally, when the hen was approaching the shore, he hit its body with the fifth stone.
Qin Yuesheng now has 2.0 power, and even ordinary people can't bear his strength, let alone a chicken. The hen immediately cried and died in an instant.
The blood overflowing from the wound quickly rendered the water, but as the blood spread wider, the blood red became fainter.
"Have you used this method in your village?" Qin Yuesheng asked Su Daqiang.
"How? What's the solution?" Su Daqiang looked confused.
Hua Shique spoke out and explained: "Use poultry as bait to see if it can attract things that harm people in Gusu Fishing Bay."
Su Daqiang suddenly realized: "It seems that the officials came from Qingyang City to do this, but it was useless, and I didn't find anything in the end."
"No hurry, let's wait." Qin Yuesheng looked at the river indifferently, then took out the medicinal bag he carried with him and started eating.
Half a row of incense sticks.
The river surface is quite calm. Apart from the ripples caused by the wind and the water circles generated by the river fish when they float to the water surface to ventilate, there is really no abnormality.
The corpse of the hen had floated into the water umbrella bushes, and only the chicken's head was left exposed to everyone's eyes.
The blood flowing out of the hen's body has long been dry and dissipated into the river.
Qin Yuesheng sat on a stone and held his chin with his hands on his hands, thinking to himself: "Is it only the target of victimization that poultry is not favored?"
Hua Shique asked, "Young Master, do you still have to wait?"
"Forget it, let's go back first. We will stay in this village temporarily tonight. I'll observe the situation." Qin Yuesheng stood up, took a last look at the river surface, and then returned to the village.
After everyone left, a black shadow suddenly appeared below the water where the hen's corpse was. A splash of water suddenly stormed. In the blink of an eye, the hen's corpse disappeared from its original place and disappeared.
The incident in Gusu Yuwan can be said to have caused peace in Baihe Village. Firstly, it was because many villagers died in the village in a few days, and there were a lot of orphans and widows. Secondly, it was because everyone could not do the business of picking water lotus children.
Nowadays, whoever goes into the water in Gusu Yuwan will die. Although it is very profitable to sell water lotus children, no one dares to do it anymore. After all, compared with life, money is worth it.
However, Baihe Village is the only source of water lotus children in the Qin family. If there is no way to provide water lotus children for the Qin family, the relevant business of the Qin family will be greatly affected. Finding other places of water lotus children will inevitably cost a lot, not to mention the high transportation costs that need to be borne at the time.
If you can solve this matter in Baihe Village, try to solve it as much as possible. If it is really impossible to solve it, the difficulty exceeds your ability, then Qin Yuesheng will naturally choose to go home. He is not the kind of person who obviously cannot do it, has little hope, and is desperate to complete the matter regardless of everything.
There are still many families who can stay in Baihe Village, and you only need to give you more money.
Qin Yuesheng and his party lived in the home of the village chief, the largest residence in the village.
Good guy, this person has twenty rooms in the courtyard, so there is no need to worry about not having a room.
The sun sets in the west, and the dusk is evening.
Village chief Gao Peng started cooking early at home.
Qin Yuesheng and Hua Shique sat in the yard and talked with Gao Peng about what happened to Gusu Yuwan.
"Young Master Qin, this happened quite suddenly. The villagers who went into the water to pick the lotus children suddenly disappeared, and even one of them was not found. A few days later, many arms appeared on the shore."
Gao Peng sat on a bamboo bench with a backrest, and said in a speechless manner while breaking peanuts and stuffing them into his mouth.
Qin Yuesheng leaned on the chair: "Is there no sign of precedent before this incident? Have anyone died in your village or near your village before? Have anyone died in that river recently?"
Gao Peng choked: "Recently... it doesn't seem to be there. The old people in our village are alive and not a single one is burping."
Qin Yuesheng was about to answer the conversation, when Gao Peng suddenly had an idea, he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Mr. Qin said this, I suddenly remembered something."
The peanuts that had just been peeled off in Qin Yuesheng's hand were roared by him, and his hands trembled and both fell to the ground, but they could not eat them anymore.
"Why are you doing so loudly? If you have something to say, our young master is not deaf, he can hear it." Cao Zhengchun immediately shouted when he saw this scene.
Qin Yuesheng waved his hand indifferently: "Let him continue talking."
Gao Peng said: "Just two days before this happened, a small boat that had never been seen before came to Gusu Fishing Bay, which was sailing from the Gusu River."
"What's the point of a small boat? Don't you use fishing boats when fishing in Baihe Village?" Hua Shique wondered.
"No, that boat is different." Gao Peng looked serious: "Where the boat passes by, the water will turn black and the water umbrella will wither."
"Then what." Qin Yuesheng asked.
"It's gone, that boat just passed through Gusu Fishing Bay."
Qin Yuesheng looked at the sky and fell into deep thought.
A ship that can turn water black and wither plants.
This is probably not a similar existence to the faceless coffin carrying people mentioned by Duberen.
It is not guaranteed that the situation in Gusu Yuwan this time was caused by that ship, just like those faceless coffin carrying people caused the crazy people to go out to chop people.
