For half an incense stick of time.
The surface of the river was quite calm. Apart from the ripples caused by the wind and the water circles created when the river fish surfaced to breathe, there was really nothing unusual.
The hen's body had floated into the water umbrellas, with only the head left exposed to everyone.
The blood that flowed out of the hen's body had long since dried up and dissipated into the river water.
Qin Yuesheng sat on a rock, his chin in his hand, and thought to himself, "Could it be that only humans are targeted, and poultry are not looked down upon?"
Hua Shique asked, "Master, do you want to wait any longer?"
"Forget it, let's go back first. We will stay in this village tonight. I will observe the situation." Qin Yuesheng stood up, took one last look at the river, and then returned to the village.
When everyone left, a black shadow suddenly appeared under the water where the hen's body was. There was a sudden splash of water, and in the blink of an eye, the hen's body disappeared without a trace.
The incident in Gusu Yuwan can be said to have caused unrest in Baihe Village. Firstly, many villagers died in the village in the past few days, leaving a lot of orphans and widows. Secondly, no one can do the business of picking water lotus anymore.
Nowadays, anyone who goes into the water in Gusu Fishing Bay will die. Although selling water lotus children is very profitable, no one dares to do it anymore. After all, compared with life, money is nothing.
However, Baihe Village is the Qin family's only source of water lotus medicinal materials. If it can no longer provide water lotus for the Qin family, the Qin family's related business will be greatly affected. Finding other sources of water lotus production will inevitably be a considerable expense, not to mention the high transportation costs that will have to be borne at that time.
As for the issue of Baihe Village, if it can be resolved, he will try his best to resolve it. If it really cannot be resolved and the difficulty is beyond his ability, then Qin Yuesheng will naturally choose to go home. He is not the kind of person who will try his best to get things done even though he knows he can't do it and there is little hope.
There are quite a few families in Baihe Village where you can stay overnight, and you just need to pay a little more money.
Qin Yuesheng and his party stayed at the village chief's house, which was the largest in the village.
Wow, this person’s courtyard has a total of twenty rooms, so there is no need to worry about not having enough rooms.
The sun sets in the west and dusk falls.
Village chief Gao Peng cleaned the stove and added firewood to cook early in the morning.
Qin Yuesheng and Hua Shique sat in the yard and chatted with Gao Peng about Gusu Fishing Bay.
"Master Qin, this happened quite suddenly. The villagers who went into the water to pick water lotus children suddenly disappeared, and not a single one was found. A few days later, many arms appeared on the shore."
Gao Peng sat on a bamboo bench with a backrest, breaking peanuts and stuffing them into his mouth while talking incoherently.
Qin Yuesheng leaned back in his chair. "There wasn't any sign of this happening? Has anyone died in your village or nearby before this? Has anyone died in that river recently?"
Gao Peng choked up a bit, "Recently... I don't think so. Those old immortals in our village are all living well. Not a single one has died."
Qin Yuesheng was about to respond when Gao Peng suddenly had an idea. He slapped his thigh and shouted, "Mr. Qin, after hearing what you said, I suddenly remembered something."
Qin Yuesheng's hands trembled as he heard the yell, and the peanuts he had just peeled in his hands fell to the ground, making it impossible to eat them.
"Why are you yelling so loudly? If you have something to say, just say it. Our young master is not deaf, he can hear us." Cao Zhengchun immediately shouted when he saw this scene.
Qin Yuesheng waved his hand indifferently: "Let him continue."
Gao Peng said, "Just two days before this happened, a small boat that had never been seen before arrived at Gusu Fishing Bay. It came from the Gusu River."
"What's so special about a small boat? Don't you guys in Baihe Village use fishing boats when you fish?" Hua Shique wondered.
"No, that boat is different." Gao Peng said seriously, "Where that boat passes, the water turns black and the umbrellas wither."
"Then what?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"No, the ship was just passing through Gusu Fishing Bay."
Qin Yuesheng looked at the sky and fell into deep thought.
A boat that can turn water black and wither plants.
This might be similar to the faceless coffin bearers mentioned by Du Beilun.
It is possible that the situation in Gusu Fishing Bay this time was caused by that ship, just like those faceless coffin bearers caused the crazy people to take to the streets and hack people.
"Qingyang City is about to go into chaos. So many unexpected things have happened one after another."
