Chapter 129 Substitute Rooster
"I had no choice. She was very emotional at the time, so I had to compromise and leave the place first, leaving my brother and her to talk alone."
"But I didn't go too far. I just waited nearby and was able to see what was going on over there."
"I waited for a while and then I got a call. It was an urgent work matter. After I hung up, I lowered my head and handled the negotiation on my phone."
"Because I thought that since my brother was here, the woman wouldn't do anything extreme, so I didn't stare at her while I was working on my phone."
"I was halfway through when I heard someone yelling, 'He's fallen into the water.'"
"I was stunned for a moment, then I reacted and looked up not far away, but I couldn't see my brother and the woman anymore. There were quite a few people surrounding where they were standing."
"I immediately ran over and looked into the lake, but I only saw the woman floating. My brother was nowhere to be found."
"I learned from passersby that they saw the woman jump first, and then my brother followed suit."
Luobo paused here, his face darkening, and his grip on the phone gradually tightened. "My brother was already thinking about breaking up with her, so it's impossible that he committed suicide with her. He saw the woman jump and subconsciously jumped in to save her, but my brother forgot that he couldn't swim at all."
"What I didn't expect was that the woman could actually swim. She saved herself, but my brother drowned..."
Flying Little Potato: [If that's true, isn't this another kind of perfect crime? Everyone knows who the murderer is, but they can't convict her.]
Who the hell do you think you are? [I guess the woman would say, 'I didn't mean to do that,' 'I didn't expect him to jump after me,' 'I didn't ask him to save me,'...]
Who wouldn't like Ultraman: [I hope my brother won't let her down and visit her home more often in the future. smile.jpg]
Luobo naturally saw the comments on the public screen. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and continued, "That's right. After she got ashore, she just kept crying and said she didn't want to live at that time, so she jumped in. I didn't expect my brother to jump in after her even though he knew he couldn't swim."
"She said she didn't do it on purpose, and she didn't want that to happen. She wanted to save my brother, but she was panicked and scared, and she was exhausted, so she could only watch my brother sink..."
"The rescue team arrived and searched the area around the location we provided. They've been searching for my brother's body for almost a whole day, from yesterday afternoon until now."
Luobo turned the camera on his phone and pointed it at the rescue team still working in the lake ahead. "Everyone is very tired now. My parents are planning to give up if they can't salvage the body. So, Master Li, I can only help you. Can you calculate my brother's exact location?"
"The location of the salvage is fine. It's just that a water ghost left your brother there after he drowned and took his place."
"Go buy a rooster now and throw it into the place where your brother drowned. Remember to throw it in alive."
"As you throw it down, you must keep calling your brother's name and asking him to come home, so that your brother's body can be salvaged by the rescue team normally."
Luobo's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded quickly, "I understand, Master Li, I'll go buy it now!"
He paused, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Master Li, can we just throw this live rooster down there? Don't we need to tie a few rocks to it to prevent it from floating up?"
Li Zhi shook her head and said, "No need, just throw it away."
"Okay." Luobo didn't ask any more questions. After greeting her, he hung up the phone.
......
The other side.
Luobo put away his phone, walked over to his parents who were standing on the other side, and said, "Dad, Mom, I just asked a guru, and she said that if we throw a rooster in the water, we can rescue my brother."
Carrot Dad supported Carrot Mom and turned to look at him, his face equally haggard. "Throw a rooster? Is that really going to work?"
Mother Carrot leaned on Father Carrot's arms, her eyes red and swollen from crying, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's give it a try, maybe it will really work... Do we really have to let Xiaoyang stay in this cold lake forever..."
Carrot's father nodded and said to Carrot, "Then go buy a rooster. We'll watch over here. If anything happens here, I'll send you a message."
"Okay, then I'll go." Luobo responded and then turned around and left.
Soon, Luobo bought a rooster.
After negotiating with the rescue team, he boarded the rescue team's boat carrying the rooster in his hand.
After the rescue team sailed back to the spot where his brother fell into the water, Luobo did as Li Zhi said and threw the live rooster in his hand directly into the water, calling his brother's name continuously.
"Xiaoyang..."
"Xiaoyang, brother is here, come home with brother..."
Then a scene that surprised them appeared. The living rooster did not even flap its wings to struggle on the water surface, but just sank directly.
The members of the rescue team temporarily suppressed their curiosity, picked up the tool and ruthless hook and started to salvage again.
"Hey, something's up! I hooked something!"
"Isn't that the rooster that was just thrown down?"
"It's heavy, it's definitely not the rooster."
"Quick, pull it out!"
As the rope was pulled back, the hooked object slowly surfaced. It was the body of Brother Radish.
"It's amazing! The rooster was actually fished out after being thrown down."
"I've learned this trick. If I encounter this situation again, I'll use this method."
Fortunately, the hook only caught the trouser leg and did not damage the body.
The rescue team immediately worked together to pull the body onto the boat, and then drove the boat back to the shore.
When Luobo's parents saw their little son being brought down from the boat, they immediately rushed over and burst into tears.
Luobo suppressed his uncomfortable emotions, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, retracted his gaze, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and was about to return to Li Zhi's live broadcast room, but found that she had already ended the broadcast.
He clicked on Li Zhi's profile picture to go to her homepage and sent her a private message.
[Master Li, my brother has been found.]
Li Zhi: [Just find it.]
Radish: [Master Li, I would like to ask, has my brother's soul finally rested in peace?]
Li Zhi: [Originally, his soul was bound at the bottom of the lake. The rooster that was thrown in was a substitute, replacing his soul.]
Li Zhi: [Now that the body has been recovered, your brother's soul has been liberated and will naturally be able to reincarnate normally.]
Radish: [Okay, I understand. Thank you, Master Li.]
