Although from the old man's mouth, Li Leping learned that there was such an old man in Qingshi Village who lived from the Republic of China to modern times.
However, he did not intend to go to the wooden house to inquire about it immediately.
Because someone had been to the wooden house before him. Since the young people who went in to explore and broadcast the live broadcast did not die and did not encounter any strange things, it means that the wooden house was probably safe.
But now, a child drowned and died suddenly in Qingshi Village.
After weighing the two, Li Leping decided to go see what "drowning" was all about first.
Now that there was a dead person, Li Leping had to think of this situation in a supernatural way.
When the location of a ghost is uncertain, a dead person is often the best locating device.
Anyway, the house is right there, can it still run away?
"Hey, uncle." Looking at the old man who was walking dozens of meters away on crutches, Li Leping quickly chased after him and stopped him.
"What happened again?" The old man turned around impatiently.
Although I accepted your money, my legs and feet are not convenient. You make me stop and go. Believe it or not, I will fall here right now. If you don't have a hundred thousand, you can't even try to get me to stand up.
Everything is peaceful.
Under the guidance of the old man, the two followed him to a river.
But there is no other way, who wants to have a big brother watching over me?
Then, Lu Sheng took a deep breath and took out his family assets.
But after looking at Li Leping and thinking about his identity and the golden pistol he was carrying, he could only put on an expression of "I can't express my sorrow" and walked away like this.
"Alas." The old man looked very reluctant, pretending to be troubled for a long time, and then he said: "Well, since you are so wise, then come with me."
Lu Sheng was tall, with a height of 1.85 meters, so he could see Lao Zhao and the dead child in his arms without squeezing into the crowd.
Taking advantage of the distance between them and the old man, Li Leping looked at Lu Sheng and said, "You are quite upright too. One thousand yuan, just give it to me?"
With his hands trembling slightly, he took out his wallet from his pocket and took out another two hundred dollars.
The red water seemed to hide something invisible.
He took out ten banknotes from his wallet.
"Remember to stay away from me and don't let Lao Zhao see that I brought you here. If he asks, just say you were curious and followed him quietly."
Li Leping took a closer look and his face became a little ugly.
"Something's wrong..." Li Leping withdrew from the crowd and said a little doubtfully.
"Huh?" When he said this, Lu Sheng also realized something was wrong.
"In this case, I can only cooperate with your performance."
When the old man heard this, he immediately showed a look that seemed to understand, but was somewhat incomprehensible. He said in a persuasive tone: "What's good about dead people? They are all swollen. Let's forget it. After all, we are all from the same village."
Yes, it’s not good to let Lao Zhao know.”
The old man looked at the white banknotes and couldn't look away immediately. He was trembling a little when he spoke.
"this……"
"You mean...there is something unclean in this river?" Lu Sheng understood what Li Leping meant, and after walking some distance away from the crowd, he whispered.
"I don't know, why don't you go down and have a look?" Li Leping suggested.
"No, I heard that someone died, so we wanted to go take a look, just to collect information."
"vomit……"
As for Lu Sheng, he has already started grinding his teeth.
"Follow me." Li Leping winked at Lu Sheng.
Normally, he would have punched the old man to let him know why the flower was so red.
After seeing the dead child clearly, Lu Sheng felt like something was about to spit out from his chest.
Standing on tiptoes, he looked in the direction of the corpse. The child's body was wrapped in a thick coat, but the whole body was white and swollen and looked particularly scary.
At this moment, dozens of villagers have gathered by the river. Qingshi Village is so big. If there is any disturbance, it will spread to ten and hundreds of people.
Fear, regret, sadness...
But this kind of calmness made Li Leping feel a little uneasy.
"What the hell." Lu Sheng felt like something was blocking his chest, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
"This is not about money." The old man refused righteously, as if the previous scene of collecting money never existed at all.
Li Leping raised his head towards Old Zhao: "Look at that child, he is white and swollen. I don't think he drowned not long ago."
There seemed to be something lying in front of him. It was a child of five or six years old, wearing a thick coat. Normally, this coat could keep out the cold and keep warm, but once it fell into the water, the coat would absorb the water.
It becomes a burden and a heavy coat can kill someone who falls into the water.
As for the driver, Lao Zhao, he knelt on the ground and cried heartbrokenly.
With trembling hands, he handed the stack of money to the old man.
"What?" Lu Sheng's eyes widened, and then he realized that Li Leping was looking at him as if he was a resentful person.
They surrounded the driver, Lao Zhao, and the emotions in each of their eyes were different.
"Damn... I'm so old. Didn't you say this just now? Are you pretending to be a good person now?"
If the old man takes it further, he might really go crazy.
After the explanation, the old man immediately turned around and walked away quickly.
It was dusk now, the river surface was clear and calm, and the red glow of the setting sun reflected on the river surface, adding a layer of glamor and weirdness.
Seeing this, Lu Sheng took a breath of cold air.
Lu Sheng greeted all the eighteen generations of the old man's ancestors from the bottom of his heart.
"Didn't you ask me to pay for it?" Lu Sheng gritted his teeth, recalling Li Leping's action of hooking his hand.
"Haha, sir." Li Leping looked harmless, "To be honest, this friend and I specialize in writing supernatural novels. We came here just to collect some folk tales."
Li Leping didn't say anything, but he curled his fingers behind his back.
After the drowning child was fished out, he was already swollen from the water. His whole body seemed to have become enlarged. He looked very disgusting, and his skin color turned pale and bloodless.
"You misunderstood me." Li Leping shrugged, "I wanted you to show off the old man and make him more honest, but I didn't expect you to be so kind, after being cheated of so much money.
, still thinking about settling accounts for others."
The next second, the uncle quietly put the ten banknotes into his arms. Looking at his cheerful look, it seemed as if he had received some big treasure.
"What's wrong?" Lu Sheng looked at him and said.
"Brother, stop joking with me now. If there really is a ghost in this river, wouldn't I just fall into its trap if I go down?" Lu Sheng said.
Li Leping glanced at him, said nothing, and walked to the river alone.
The body was fished out nearby, which means the child fell into the river nearby.
Let's look for it first and see if there are any clues.
