Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 38

"Laosidao? Um... is it a kind of snack?"

"no."

"what is that?"

"That's what it means."

"literal meaning?"

"The man died, fell into the water, and then, fished him out."

Tan Wenbin: “…”

If it had been left alone, Tan Wenbin would definitely have thought that this was just the boy's nonsense, but now, he felt that it might very well be true.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, is it fun to fish for the dead?"

"Fun."

"How much fun?"

“It’s more fun than studying.”

Two images emerged in Tan Wenbin's mind, one was him concentrating on writing papers in the classroom, and the other was him standing by the river with a large net bag to fish out dead bodies.

Although the latter is scary, it is definitely more fun than studying!

"Brother Xiaoyuan, do you fish often?"

"There aren't that many people drowning in the river every day, and among those who drown, there is only a very small chance that they will die."

"Aren't people who drowned called dead?"

"We usually refer to those who can still move on their own after drowning."

"Can they move on their own after they die?" Tan Wenbin's expression became complicated. "Will they be moved by the current?"

"It moves on its own and can even walk ashore."

"This..." This time, Tan Wenbin couldn't help but question, "Brother Xiaoyuan, are you telling me this story on purpose to scare me?"

"No."

"But I don't believe what you just said."

"Ah."

"Unless you take me to see a moving dead body."

"Without."

"Why?" Tan Wenbin didn't understand. Shouldn't his first reaction after what he said was not believed be to be eager to prove it?
"It's very dangerous to fish for death."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of danger."

"Brother Binbin, you don't know anything. Taking you with me will only make you a burden and put me in danger."

"Forehead……"

After a brief moment of speechlessness, Tan Wenbin immediately stepped forward and grabbed Li Zhuiyuan's hand: "But the more you say this, the more I want to meet him."

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head.

"Please, Brother Xiaoyuan, brother, brother!"

"impossible."

"Brother Xiaoyuan, as long as you take me to see the dead, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

"Brother Binbin."

"You agreed?"

"What can you do for me?"

Tan Wenbin fell silent.

Tan Yunlong's voice came from the living room: "Binbin, bring Xiaoyuan out for dinner."

The dinner was very sumptuous, with many main dishes, some of which were obviously made from cans.

Zheng Fang apologized, "Xiaoyuan, next time you come, let's go out to eat. I, your aunt, am not very good at cooking."

"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie. There are already a lot of dishes. We can't finish them all."

Tan Yunlong poured soda into the cup in front of Li Zhuiyuan and said, "It's okay. Let Binbin eat the rest of the food slowly."

The atmosphere of the dinner was warm and harmonious, a typical family of three, plus a guest named Tan Wenbin.

When the meal was almost finished and everyone began to focus their attention on chatting, Tan Yunlong's pager rang. He looked down and immediately stood up.

Zheng Fang had long been accustomed to this pace of life. She immediately went to get her husband's coat and said, "Xiaoyuan, can you sleep at our house tonight?"

After putting on his clothes, Tan Yunlong shook his head and said, "I didn't tell his family that I was sleeping here. If I don't go back at night, his family will be worried. Come on, Xiaoyuan, follow uncle."

"Don't you have something to do at the institute?"

"It's just on the way, so I'll send the child back."

"Okay then. Be careful on the road. It's windy at night. Don't let the wind blow on the child."

Li Zhuiyuan walked away from the table and towards Tan Yunlong. Zheng Fang took out the red envelope that she had prepared long ago from her pocket and stuffed it into his hand.

"Xiaoyuan, this is your first time at home. Go buy some candy."

"Thank you auntie."

Li Zhuiyuan took the red envelope and put it in his pocket. He knew that Tan Yunlong was in a hurry to go out, so he did not refuse.

As he walked down the stairs, Tan Yunlong said, "The hospital surveillance personnel called and said someone came to visit those two people. They have been arrested now."

"several?"

"On a."

“That should be more than that.”

Water monkeys tend to travel in groups. On the surface, there are two people pretending to be bosses from other places to contract the fish pond, and there must be more people behind the scenes.

"The main thing is that the two are injured and unconscious, and we can't ask any questions. Now that we have caught one of their tongues, we can hope to pry open his mouth."

Tan Yunlong got on the motorcycle and handed the helmet to Li Zhuiyuan after he got on.

The previous conversation was more like an exchange between colleagues. Tan Yunlong did not think there was anything wrong with it. The clue to this case was originally given to him by the boy.

They arrived at the health center amid the wild roar of motorcycles.

Tan Yunlong did not hide anything and took Li Zhuiyuan into the hospital building.

The wards of Sihai and his son and the two contracting bosses were all on the first floor, but one was at the east end and the other at the west end.

There is a bench area in the center of the first floor, and it is crowded with people. Due to the shortage of beds in the ward, many patients' families choose to stay here with them.

The security department is the first room on the west side. After pushing the door open, there are three people inside, two plainclothes officers standing and one sitting in handcuffs.

"Captain Tan."

"Captain Tan."

"Did you get the result?"

"He denied it and said he was just asked to deliver fruit baskets and milk to the two sickbeds."

Tan Yunlong frowned and asked, "How could this be wrong?"

"This guy has a history of theft. When we approached him and asked him to assist in the investigation, he tried to run away, but we caught him. He just confessed to two recent thefts, but he refused to admit that he knew the two unconscious people."

"Comrade police officer, I really don't know those two people. Someone just gave me money to help deliver something to the people in that ward."

Tan Yunlong asked: "Who gave you the money?"

"It was just a woman, wearing a mask, with short hair, wrapped up tightly in the hot summer."

Tan Yunlong said to his colleagues: "It must be a mistake. He speaks Nantong dialect and the gang is from outside the city."

Tomb-robbing gangs are generally composed of relatives, and outsiders are rarely seen, let alone people from other provinces. Money is attractive to people, and the most feared thing for those who make money from the dead is not the dead, but the robbery of the robber.

"Captain Tan, have we been discovered?"

"That's probably because you guys weren't careful enough. They might have noticed you long ago and missed you. But it could also be that they're just testing the waters."

Tan Yunlong suddenly thought of something. When throwing a stone to ask for directions, you should at least stand by and watch the splash.

He immediately opened the door and walked out of the security department, coming to the bench area. There were many people here, and he quickly scanned the area.

"Uncle Tan."

When Li Zhuiyuan's voice came, Tan Yunlong realized that the boy had gone out on his own at some point.

Now I looked at him first, and then looked in the direction the boy's finger was secretly pointing. In the corridor on the east side leading to the water room, there was a person leaving. From the back, it was a woman.

Tan Yunlong immediately jumped over the bench in front of him and quickly caught up with him.

As if she heard the hurried footsteps coming from behind her, the woman immediately changed from walking to running, and the two began to chase each other.

When the policemen behind came over, they didn't see Captain Tan, and they didn't know which direction he went. Li Zhuiyuan came over and reminded them:

"Uncle Tan went in that direction, chasing a female suspect."

Several policemen then ran over to provide reinforcements.

Li Zhuiyuan did not join in the fun, but walked back to the security department, where there was a plainclothes officer watching the pickpocket.

After pouring himself a glass of water, Li Zhuiyuan sat on a chair and waited.

The pickpocket came out after I heard him speak Nantong dialect. There were indeed many people in the central bench area, but it was not difficult to find him.

The ward of the two water monkeys is at the westernmost end. So if we connect the ward and the security department with a line and then make a projection surface on the bench area, the range will be reduced at once, because the ward and the security department can only be observed in this small area.

When Li Zhuiyuan went to observe, the woman just stood up. Li Zhuiyuan noticed her immediately because she was empty-handed.

About a quarter of an hour later, the door of the security department was opened again, and Tan Yunlong was helped in, along with the doctor.

Tan Yunlong's shirt was unbuttoned, and there was a long diagonal bruise on his left chest, probably caused by being kicked.

Li Zhuiyuan tilted his head along the direction of the bruise, trying to think about the force posture for the kick, and felt a little awkward.

While the doctor was applying the medicated oil, Tan Yunlong also told his colleagues: "I chased her and caught her, but she threw me out, got up again, and kicked me again."

"Captain Tan, is that guy so skilled?"

"It's not that I'm awesome. I'm not trying to save face for myself. Not only did I fail to catch the person, but I also got injured, which is already embarrassing enough.

When I was close to her, no matter she threw me or kicked me, I was actually prepared and planned to counterattack and capture her.

But her force was very strange, I didn't expect it at all, and I was thrown out all of a sudden."

After listening to this, Li Zhuiyuan expressed his understanding in his heart, because the opponent was using a move that could kill the opponent.

This move might not work well against a living person, but Tan Yunlong was thinking of subduing the person so he held back, and he was not careful for a moment and suffered a loss due to unfamiliarity.

Not long after, several more policemen came back, all looking a little dejected. It was obvious that they had not caught up with the person and had escaped.

"Send some more people to guard here. Didn't the doctor say that those two people will wake up soon? We can dig out clues from them then."

After giving the instructions, Tan Yunlong put on his clothes and came out holding Li Zhuiyuan's hand.

"Uncle Tan, can you still drive?"

Li Zhuiyuan saw that Tan Yunlong had been covering his chest with his hands, and asked worriedly.

"It's not a big deal, get in the car."

This time, Tan Yunlong drove the motorcycle very slowly.

"Xiaoyuan, next time you go out, you have to tell me in advance."

"it is good."

"I find that you are quite suitable to be a police officer. Have you ever thought about applying to the police academy?"

"No."

"So which university do you want to go to?"

“Haihe University.”

Hearing this answer, Tan Yunlong's mouth twitched, because he seemed to have guessed the reason why the boy wanted to apply to this university.

After sending him home, Tan Yunlong handed Li Zhuiyuan a note: "Xiaoyuan, if you have anything, just call me."

"Okay, Uncle Tan."

Looking at the back of the motorcycle driving away, Li Zhuiyuan turned his gaze towards the direction of Big Beard's house.

A martial artist who knows how to deal with the deadly knockdown technique is no longer a simple water monkey.

However, since it could be trapped by the bait hole, even if this water monkey is complex, its complexity is very limited.

So, to be on the safe side, should you make some preparations in advance?
The book talks about various ways to eliminate dead drops, but it doesn't teach you how to help them. At the same time, the book also lists a lot of taboos when dealing with dead drops...

So, just take these taboos and use them in reverse.

In this way, even if there is a tough guy among the water monkeys, I can still protect the little yellow warbler.

Li Zhuiyuan clenched his fist and tapped his forehead lightly. He suddenly realized:
What kind of evil thinking is this?

But he soon comforted himself. He had been exposed to archaeology since he was a child, and had seen many national treasures and cultural relics destroyed by tomb robbers. He also witnessed the grief of many senior archaeological experts.

When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one. I am not helping the tyrant, I am clearly protecting state property.

Turning around and entering the house, the TV was off and Runsheng was not watching TV, but a "ding dong" sound could be faintly heard coming from the back wall, which meant that Runsheng was still working late.

Not wanting to disturb him, Li Zhuiyuan went up to the second floor and saw that his grandfather was still lying on the rattan chair on the terrace.

"Grandpa, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Waiting for you." Li Sanjiang moved his body and yawned again. "What did Officer Tan say?"

"He agreed."

"Really agreed?"

"Well, in a month, before school starts, he will personally take me to complete the enrollment procedures. Grandpa, don't worry."

"That's good, that's good. Are we going to Stone Harbor?"

"Ah."

"What grade?"

"Sixth grade."

Li Sanjiang stretched out his fingers, calculated the ages and grades of Yingzi and Panzi, and asked, "Is it too early for you to go to the sixth grade now?"

"It's okay, Grandpa. I'm young. Even if I can't keep up, I can still repeat the grade and study for another year."

"That's right." Li Sanjiang nodded, "This is a good deal."

"Grandpa, go to bed, it's late."

"Well, it's time to go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow because we have guests coming to our house."

"Who?"

"He was a former comrade-in-arms of mine."

"Your comrade..."

"We are from the same hometown, and we used to live in the same village."

"Taiwanese businessmen?"

"That's not the case. He was just unlucky. He and I were both captured together. I escaped, but he didn't. We retreated all the way to Yunnan and Guizhou, and even to Burma.

It is said that they were living pretty well at the beginning, but then we sent troops to defeat them.

After that, he drifted to Southeast Asia. It was said that he made a little money, and now that he was old, he wanted to return to his hometown to invest. "

"Grandpa, was it him who called you?"

"correct."

"Where's the village chief?"

"What do you want to do, village chief?"

“When overseas Chinese return to China to invest, the mayor will usually accompany them.”

An expression of "I see" immediately appeared on Li Sanjiang's face, and he even smiled:
"Hehe, so this old guy is going home to show off and cheat people?"

"Master, I'm just guessing."

"Okay, okay, let's go to bed. You should also go to bed early." Li Sanjiang walked towards the room while waving a palm-leaf fan, still smiling, "After the summer vacation, our little Yuanhou will be in the sixth grade, which is great."

Li Zhuiyuan went to take a shower, returned to his room, sat down at his desk and began to write down his experience notes.

When he was in school, he didn't have the habit of taking notes or making a collection of wrong questions, because it would be okay even if he handed in a blank paper in the exam. But now it is different, one wrong step could result in death.

He quite likes this feeling. After all, exams should bring some psychological pressure.

As for the fact that he was in the sixth grade of middle school instead of the sixth grade of elementary school, Li Zhuiyuan felt that his great-grandfather would know it after school started.

It is indeed difficult to explain my age and the junior class to outsiders, but the high school should know about it. Transferring to another school and skipping a grade can save a lot of trouble.

Flipping through the several piles of books in front of him, Li Zhuiyuan turned to the volume and page according to his memory and selectively wrote down ten "taboos" for dealing with death.

Of course, he would not use all of the ten, at most he would use two, so he had to continue to consider and select them based on practicality and controllability. After doing this, he went to bed.

After waking up, I felt much more energetic than before. It seems that the overdraft problem has been improved. However, I still need to pay more attention to eating things that replenish blood and qi. I have to talk to Aunt Liu about this.

There was no one sitting on the chair at the door because the girl was sitting at the desk, carving a wooden flower roll with a small carving knife.

Li Zhuiyuan was a little confused. He asked Runsheng to move all the materials in his room to the workshop, and all the tools would be made there in the future. So where did A'li get the raw materials?

When I got closer, I found that they were still the same dark texture and sandalwood scent as last time.

"Ari, you smashed the family tablet again?"

Ali shook his head.

It wasn't her who chopped it, it was her grandmother who chopped it.

Liu Yumei was very happy when she was doing the chopping, for she was afraid that if she did it too late, her granddaughter's illness would relapse.

Li Zhuiyuan went to get three more bottles of Jianlibao. They were the last three bottles, so he had to ask Aunt Liu to buy more.

Open two bottles, one for each person.

The girl liked to drink it at first because she had never had contact with carbonated drinks before, but in fact, she didn’t like to drink sweet things in the morning, but she liked to clink glasses with boys.

In addition, she wanted to fill up the first collection box as soon as possible.

After breakfast, Li Zhuiyuan returned to the second-floor terrace to read, while A-li sat next to him and carved.

From time to time, a few unused wood flower rolls were blown up by the wind and fell down, shining in the sun, which was the gratified smile of the ancestors.

The guests arrived earlier than expected. A black car drove up on the village road in the distance, and an old man in a black suit got out of the car. The old man was leaning on a crutch in his right hand, and his left hand was supported by a young blonde woman.

The two of them walked along the path and came to the dam.

"Hey, is that you, Lord Lin?"

"Haha, it's me, Marquis Sanjiang!"

The two old men shook hands excitedly.

Then, the two of them sat down and Aunt Liu brought them tea.

Li Zhuiyuan said something to A-Li and went downstairs.

"Is she your granddaughter?" Li Sanjiang asked.

"No, it's my secretary, last name is Jin."

"Oh, that's good." Li Sanjiang immediately turned around and waved, "Come here, Lord Lin, this is my great-grandson, Xiaoyuan. Lord Xiaoyuan, come and meet your Grandpa Ding."

"Hello, Grandpa Ding."

"A very smart kid."

"Of course not. After all, this child belongs to my Li family. He lives with me now." Li Sanjiang continued to stroke Li Zhuiyuan's head, with no intention of letting the child leave.

The meaning is very clear.

Ding Dalin smiled awkwardly, touched his suit pocket, and said awkwardly: "Look, I've been outside for so long that I've forgotten these customs."

The young woman next to him took out some money and handed it to Ding Dalin, who then handed it to Li Zhuiyuan:

"Come, grandpa will buy you some candy."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Li Zhuiyuan took the money, which was quite thick.

However, he also noticed what Ding Dalin had just said. It was obvious that the Chinese community outside paid more attention to these old rituals. How could he forget these customs, unless he had not always lived in a normal society.

In addition, the suit Ding Dalin was wearing was not a foreign brand. Although the label was in English, one could tell at a glance that it was a southern product. Although it was quite expensive, it was definitely not something he brought back from China.

As for the secretary's blonde hair, it must have been recently dyed, and the technique was rather rough. There were traces of dye on the collar and shoulders of her clothes.

Looking at the woman's figure again, she seems a little familiar.

"Grandpa, I'll go help Aunt Liu with the melon seeds." Li Zhuiyuan made an excuse to walk around and came behind the woman, and saw her back.

It was confirmed that it was the woman who escaped from the hospital last night.

The woman also turned her head and glanced at Li Zhuiyuan out of the corner of her eye.

Hmm? Did you recognize me too?
When I came out of the security department, the woman stood up and walked away with her back to me, but when I first entered the inpatient building with Tan Yunlong, the woman should have seen me.

Then, Ding Dalin’s identity would be revealed.

They are the water monkeys!

Li Zhuiyuan brought the melon seeds over and put them down, then he made another excuse to go to the toilet and went to the back of the house.

When I opened the door of the workshop, Runsheng was still working hard.

"Brother Runsheng, stop for a moment. There are two guests outside. Go stand next to the master."

"it is good!"

Runsheng picked up the black and white towel hanging beside him and wiped the sweat off his face.

Then he put on his short-sleeved shirt and went out.

I didn't directly tell Runsheng the identities of the two people because I was afraid that Runsheng wouldn't act well and wouldn't be able to keep them stable.

Li Zhuiyuan went around the back of the house and planned to go through the fields to Aunt Zhang's store to call Tan Yunlong.

But as he walked, Li Zhuiyuan suddenly realized something was wrong. At the intersection of the field ridge ahead, there was someone squatting and smoking.

The man stood on tiptoe, leaning sideways, smoking and observing his surroundings.

The water monkeys are out in force, and there are people on guard here.

Unable to get out, Li Zhuiyuan could only return quietly in the rice fields.

The distances between self-built houses in rural areas are relatively large, and my great-grandfather's house has no neighbors in front or behind. Since there is someone at this entrance, there must be people at other entrances as well.

It’s safer to go back home, after all, Runsheng is at home.

By the way, I pray again that Aunt Liu is another hidden Uncle Qin, but Li Zhuiyuan is very suspicious. Aunt Liu is good at cooking and medicine.

Grandma Liu is old and we cannot pin our hopes on her.

Li Zhuiyuan came back. On the dam, Li Sanjiang was patting Runsheng's arm and said to Ding Dalin:

"This is also my grandson, Marquis Runsheng, nice to meet your Grandpa Dalin, he's so sweet. Your Grandpa Dalin just gave Marquis Xiaoyuan a very thick red envelope."

"Hey, Grandpa Dalin."

Li Zhuiyuan didn't move forward, but walked into the kitchen. Aunt Liu was cooking. Since there were guests, she must leave lunch for them.

"Aunt Liu."

"What's wrong, Xiaoyuan?"

"Do you have any poison?"

"What medicine?"

"Two dirty guys are outside."

Liu Ting was shocked. This kid actually wanted to poison someone to death.

She immediately stabilized her expression and said:

"Don't worry, Xiaoyuan. Since the dirty man is wearing clean clothes, he is not here to do dirty things."

This sounds reasonable, but the problem is that Secretary Jin recognized him.

Although some of the raw materials in his workshop are toxic, people can clearly tell the poison when they eat it.

"Aunt Liu, will you go back to take care of your sick uncle like Uncle Qin did?"

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment and nodded.

A smile appeared on Li Zhuiyuan's face, and he felt relieved.

Although having food becomes a problem without Aunt Liu at home, it is better than never having to eat again.

Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the kitchen and stood next to Runsheng. He wanted to hear the purpose of Ding Dalin's visit today.

Li Zhuiyuan noticed that Runsheng was poking him with his hand, so he turned his head and found that Runsheng handed him the red envelope money he had just received.

"Brother Runsheng, keep it for yourself, you don't have to give it to me."

“Equipment and material costs.”

"I'll keep it with you."

"it is good."

At this time, Li Zhuiyuan saw Secretary Jin take the initiative to face him, take out the chocolate wrapped in tin foil from his pocket, walk over and hand it to him.

"Little brother, let me eat for you."

"Thank you sister."

Li Zhuiyuan reached out to take it. It felt a little sticky, so the chocolate inside must have melted long ago.

"Why don't you eat, little brother?"

"I can't bear to eat it now. I want to slowly hold it in my mouth before going to bed at night."

"Haha, it's okay. I still have a lot. I'll send it to you next time I have the chance."

As he spoke, Secretary Jin reached out and touched Li Zhuiyuan's face.

Li Zhuiyuan felt the raised skin on the woman's fingertips and the thick calluses on the inside of her palms.

The boy smiled shyly and took a half step back.

Then, Li Zhuiyuan reached out and pulled Runsheng over. Runsheng bent down, allowing the boy to put his mouth close to his ear and whisper:
"Brother Runsheng, it was thanks to you that you left me at the town market yesterday that I was sent to the police station. The uncles and aunts at the police station gave me a lot of snacks, and in the end, an uncle rode a motorcycle to take me home, hehe."

Runsheng's mind was in a mess.
But he still responded instinctively:

"um, yes."

Secretary Jin covered her mouth and laughed, with a hint of amusement and relief in her eyes.

Well, she thought she was smart and confirmed that the boy did not recognize her, after all, she was wearing a mask last night.

Li Zhuiyuan waited to hear Ding Dalin's purpose, but the two old men began to recall their past comradeship.

The main thing is that these two old men were able-bodied men captured after the Japanese surrender, so there is really no moving story to tell.

My great-grandfather fought all the way from the northeast into the interior, captured Pingjin, and conquered Huaihai.

Ding Dalin marched westward and eventually dominated Southeast Asia, but he was good at flattering himself and even called himself a veteran of the Expeditionary Force.

It can be seen that the grandfather is in a very good mood to chat. After all, his peers in the village are either dead or have difficulty speaking and responding. It is rare to meet an old man with a clear mind.

But Ding Dalin was obviously losing interest. Li Zhuiyuan noticed that he wanted to change the subject several times, but was interrupted by the grandfather who was in high spirits.

Finally, seeing that lunch time was approaching, Ding Dalin had no choice but to show his true colors:
"I heard that someone in the Bearded Man family died a while ago. Two people died?"

Li Sanjiang immediately frowned and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Seeing Li Sanjiang's reaction, Ding Dalin turned his head and looked at Secretary Jin briefly, then continued to ask:

"Mr. Sanjiang, tell me, how did those two people die?"

The death of the bearded man and his son was a taboo for Li Sanjiang. He immediately waved his hand and said perfunctorily:
"It is said that the father and son drank alcohol at night and boasted about who could swim better, so they went to the fish pond to compete and drowned."

"Really? I heard that it was you, Marquis Sanjiang, who fished out their bodies?"

"Ah, yes, what's wrong?"

"I also heard that the two bodies were swollen when they were fished out. Is that true?"

"A corpse will swell up after being soaked in water."

"But it's only been one night, how can it swell up? It's not like soaking dried black fungus."

"This...I don't know."

"Then think about it more specifically."

"It's almost time for lunch, why are you thinking about those things? Don't mention it, so as not to lose your appetite during the meal."

"It doesn't matter."

"Of course it's a big deal. You haven't been home for a long time. Let's have a good drink at noon today, and you can try our hometown food."

"Actually, Sanjiang Hou, there is a reason why I asked you this. I am old and want to return to my roots, so I plan to buy a house in the village.

Isn't the bearded man's house for sale? I think the price is quite suitable."

"That's not easy. Although you used to be from this village, your household registration is no longer here. The homestead belongs to the village collective, and only villagers can buy and sell it."

"That's easy. I'll give you the money, you buy it, and I'll live in it."

"How about that?"

"It's OK. I still have a long time to live. Money is just a thing outside of my body. I have already let it go. After I die, the house will be left to your great-grandson."

Li Sanjiang turned his head deliberately to look at Li Zhuiyuan who was standing next to him. To be honest, he was moved.

Ever since Xiao Yuanhou's Beijing hukou was taken away, he always felt guilty. So, should he buy more real estate for Xiao Yuanhou? Even if the house in the village is not valuable, it is still a piece of land after all.

"If you trust me, I can help you, but you'd better buy another house."

"What's the matter?" Ding Dalin asked excitedly, "It's the one with the bearded man. What's the problem?"

"Well, it's a bit dirty."

Li Sanjiang saw the little yellow warbler walk into the fish pond with his own eyes. Last time when he was fishing out the body, he didn't dare to go too deep, for fear that a pair of hands would reach out from below and pull him down.

After this, the house is passed on to Xiao Yuanhou. Wouldn't that mean Xiao Yuanhou and that bastard will become neighbors living next door to each other?

"Not clean? Tell me more specifically, is there something wrong with the house or is there something else wrong? Sanjiang Hou, don't blame me for asking too many questions. After all, you are buying a house for retirement, so you must be careful.

I've been in Southeast Asia for a long time, and people there are actually more superstitious and more taboo-conscious than we are here."

"Someone has died in that pond. Just imagine, if you live there and walk to the dam every day, you're facing that pond. How disgusting it is."

"It's nothing, unless there's something wrong with that pond. Give me your answer. If you say there is, I won't buy it and will go to another store."

"Have!"

"Okay, I'll change one then!"

"to make."

"Then I will go to the village chief in your name and ask if there is anyone in our village who is still interested in selling a house?"

"no problem."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"Hey, stay for dinner." Li Sanjiang's words of retention were absolutely sincere. After all, the young man had given two sums of money, so he should keep him for dinner.

"No, I have a lunch appointment with the mayor at noon."

"Well, I won't keep you here. Come back another day."

"sure."

Secretary Jin helped Ding Dalin down the dam. After getting in the car, Ding Dalin's expression became gloomy:
"It seems that we are right. The pond in front of the bearded man's house is the main cave location."

"Boss, that boy named Xiaoyuan..."

"What happened to the boy?"

"Nothing, just pretty."

Now that she had figured out why the boy was with the police last night, Secretary Kim didn't bother to bring it up again.

"Hehe, if you care about what other people's children do, you can be their mother.

Okay, let’s get down to business.

The next step is to buy Big Beard's house, then have our people dress up as a troupe and put on a stage to perform a play to celebrate the move into the new home, and then start the excavation at night.

Even the bait hole is used, so the person buried in the main hole must be of extraordinary status, and there must be good things in the tomb.

This order is done.
I can really retire and enjoy my old age.”

……

Li Zhuiyuan stood on the dam with a coin in his hand, watching the car driving away in the distance.

This group of water monkeys actually found the location of the main cave. Ding Dalin and his friends came to the pond of Big Beard's house.

So, should I call the police or help the little yellow warbler?

Li Zhuiyuan looked down at the coin in his hand and whispered, "Leave it to God, the words will call the police, and the flowers will help the little yellow warbler."

"boom!"

The coin was thrown, it landed tremblingly, and finally settled.

It's a word.

Li Zhuiyuan nodded, picked up the coin, blew it,
Said:

"It is God's will. Help the little yellow warbler first, then call the police."
