Taoism on the tip of the tongue

"He popped up again, hurry up, hit him down."

"He's over there, on the left side of the creek. I can't reach it here. If anyone of you can reach it, hurry up and give him a shot."

"Hey, do you think we are playing whack-a-mole?"

"Like, but he's in the water, so he should be called a water rat. His head is out of the water again, buddy, work harder, beat him down."

A group of people were talking and laughing, holding wooden sticks, and repeatedly beat the middle-aged man who was trying to survive back into the water.Not only do they see nothing wrong with their behavior, they even enjoy it.

"Let's see if he dares in the future! You have to teach this kind of person a lesson, or else everyone will see that there is no danger and follow suit."

"That is, we must punish them severely, so as to serve as an example to others."

A few big men looked around the water with their eyes wide open, but they didn't see the middle-aged man coming out again for a long time. They wondered, "Where did you hide? Did you slip out of the water?"

"Fuck, I've been waiting for so long, I haven't had enough fun! This is much more fun than whack-a-mole."

"Spoiler!"

"But," after a while, someone said tremblingly: "I remember he can't swim!" Although there is a river in the village, the middle-aged man has been a landlubber since he was a child.

Landlubbers cannot swim.At most two thumps is the limit.

Others just remembered that the middle-aged man can't swim, and waited for a few minutes, but still no one floated up, and the big guys panicked: "What to do, can he..."

Could it be dead?

No one dared to say the rest of the words.Sun Zhenbang glanced at everyone angrily: "What are you talking about?"

"Don't think nonsense," Sun Zhenbang scolded, everyone didn't feel angry, but had a backbone, and looked at him subconsciously.Sun Zhenbang did not disappoint them, and continued: "Clean up everything, wipe off the fingerprints on the wooden stick and throw it into the water, and then follow me to his house."

Sun Zhenbang said meaningfully: "We want to find fault, but it's not too late. Who would have thought that something would happen to the other party. Sigh, I don't know who he offended, but he was so ruthless. Killed."

The people who could be brought by Sun Zhenbang to do this are pretty clever, and immediately agreed after hearing the words: "Yes, he is really unlucky."

It's really unlucky, otherwise he wouldn't have died like this.Sure enough, you can't be too stubborn. Isn't it good to go with the flow and make a lot of money?I have to toss well, but now I'm fine, I forcibly tossed my life away.

The big fellows who were still a little worried that the matter would be exposed were relieved after seeing the village party secretary's confident appearance.Sun Zhenbang has always had his hands and eyes open, so he must have a solution.After erasing the clues of the scene, everyone carefully left the river, and then went to the middle-aged man's house.

They didn't even think about going into the water to look for it. It didn't take long for the middle-aged man to be alive.In fact, the middle-aged man heard everything in his ears when he was drowsy and underwater.He was still a little conscious, but he had no strength and couldn't get up.

Once the big guys left, he completely lost the chance of surviving.

The middle-aged man ended up drowning alive in the river.

Recalling everything, the middle-aged man glanced at Gu Changsheng, then at the gate of the Procuratorate, which was very close at hand, and finally sighed helplessly.The anger in my heart was extinguished by sadness and powerlessness.

"Fortunately, I'm a lonely family, and no one will be sad when I die." This is the good thing among the bad things.

Before he was alive, the middle-aged man could not understand the group of people headed by Sun Zhenbang. After being killed, he was probably unwilling to reconcile and temporarily forgot about his death.Every day at dawn, he would crawl out subconsciously, wanting to continue reporting.

This is the third time he has come to report after his death.If it hadn't been reminded by Gu Changsheng, maybe he would come again for the fourth time, or the fifth time, doing all the futile work.

With the death method of a middle-aged man, he would have turned into a water ghost.But the strange thing is, maybe because his biggest obsession is not revenge, but to report the illegal and criminal activities of Sun Zhenbang and others, the middle-aged man can still move freely after death, instead of being trapped and turned into a water-bound spirit.

"Master, please help me." After realizing that other people couldn't see him, the middle-aged man wanted to grab Gu Changsheng at the straw: "I still have 10,000+ savings in my family and a house. Not much, but it can all be used as a reward for the master." The middle-aged man regretted that he didn't make much money during his lifetime, and he looked at Gu Changsheng nervously, for fear that the other party would refuse.

If the master is unwilling to help, he is a ghost, no matter how hard he is, it will be useless.It seems that no matter how much you report in the past few days, it has no effect.

When he was in a daze before, when the report was unsuccessful, he would subconsciously think that it was the slow work efficiency of the government department or that Sun Zhenbang was obstructing it. He even thought about reporting it a few more times, and if there was no response, he would go to the province to respond to the situation. .But now that he is awake, how can the middle-aged man not know that the reason why his report has not been accepted is because no one can see him.

So far, he has reported three times in total, and only the one before his death was successful.But there was only one report, which was too inconspicuous, and it was difficult to attract the attention of the above.It is no wonder that the supervisory department has not responded.

Fortunately, there is no absolute road to man, and there is no absolute road to ghosts.God has eyes, let him meet a real master who can see ghosts.

Gu Changsheng originally wanted to help others. After hearing the cause of the middle-aged man's death, he wanted to meddle in other people's business even if the other party didn't open his mouth. How could he refuse?But: "Forget about money and houses." Gentlemen love money and get it in a proper way.

Now the funeral expenses are getting higher and higher, and the middle-aged man has no family, so 10,000+ is enough to take care of his funeral.What's more, three days have passed, and whether the other party's money is still there is a problem.

No pay?

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment before he understood.

Before he could get frustrated, Gu Changsheng first opened his mouth to divert the other person's attention: "Where is your home, let's go back to the village to see first?" You have to look at the situation first before deciding what to do next.

The police must be reported, but what if the police have already passed.After all, the middle-aged man had been killed for three days, and the body should have been found long ago.

"It's in Sun's Village. Everyone in our village has the surname Sun, so that's why the village is called."

The location of Sunjia Village is pretty good, not very remote, just a little further down in the suburbs.It takes less than half an hour to go there by bus.Gu Changsheng originally wanted to go to the shopping mall to buy clothes, but now, the clothes are passable, and it’s not that he can’t wear them anymore. The middle-aged man’s business is more important. Gu Changsheng postponed his shopping plan and took the middle-aged man with him. Sun Family Village.

Because it is close to the urban area, outsiders often come here in Sunjia Village.Buy some green vegetables, rice and fruit, native chicken and duck eggs.There are also water chestnuts, a specialty of their village.

This will be the time when water chestnuts are ripe, and there will be an endless stream of people who come to Sunjia Village to buy water chestnuts.Gu Changsheng entered the village among them, not paying attention.

Looking at the city people who drove over to buy water chestnuts, the middle-aged man sighed: "What are these things called!" There are only two places where water chestnuts are grown in the village.One is a pond and the other is a small river.The ponds are all contracted by individuals, and there is no pollution, so the quality is still guaranteed.But Xiaohe, well, let’s not mention it.

Moreover, someone had just died, and there were so many people who came to buy it. Obviously, the news of his death had not spread.People in the village may or may not know, but outsiders certainly don't know.Although there is no river in the world that has not drowned people, but during the time when the accident happened, everyone always avoided it.I can only hope that the water chestnuts these people buy are all grown in ponds.otherwise……

The middle-aged man wanted Gu Changsheng to remind those people, but he was afraid that Gu Changsheng would repeat his mistakes, so he didn't say anything in the end.You can't hurt people who are kind enough to help you.

But if he didn't say it, it doesn't mean that Gu Changsheng didn't know.

This river is very long, not only running through the entire Sunjia Village, but also connecting several other nearby villages in series.It is said to be a small river, but it is not small at all.The location of the river is also very conspicuous, and you can see it as soon as you enter the village.

The water chestnut leaves are crowded together on the river, and there are stalls selling water chestnuts in front of every house. The connection between them is self-evident.Gu Changsheng was shocked: "Where is the secretary of the village party committee?"

"Just ahead, the most magnificent house is."

It happened that someone was selling a basket full of water chestnuts, and Gu Changsheng bought it, and then bought broad beans that were tied up by the villagers at the nearby stall.Walking near Sun Zhenbang's house, Gu Changsheng found a secluded corner.

"There is a way in heaven and earth, and all things have spirits. At that time, the broad beans were soldiers. I gave them spiritual power, and the soldiers would drive them away." The little broad beans jumped out of the bag together, waving their arms and stretching their legs.Putting the basket on their heads, they followed Gu Changsheng's instructions and quietly sent the water chestnuts into the kitchen of Sun Zhenbang's house.

What is this for?

The middle-aged man couldn't care less about being amazed at Gu Changsheng's miraculous spell, but wondered why Gu Changsheng gave Sun Zhenbang something.

Water chestnuts are not cheap.It's just been on the market, and it costs six or seven yuan a catty.This basket weighed seven or eight catties, and Gu Changsheng had just bought that exquisite handmade rattan basket, which cost a little less than a hundred dollars.What's wrong with using this money?

The middle-aged man was puzzled until he heard Sun Zhenbang swearing.

"You prodigal bitch! What kind of water chestnuts should you buy? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to buy them during this time? A waste of money." Sun Zhenbang had just woken up, and was preparing to eat in the kitchen when he saw the The basket of water chestnuts on the stove suddenly became angry.

Planting water chestnuts was hard work, so he didn't build ponds because he was tired, and he didn't pay for land in the river, so if he wanted to eat water chestnuts, he had to buy them.If it was before, it would be fine, but now, how can he rest assured about the water chestnut he bought.

Sun Mingzhi's unlucky thing died in the river.Who knows where this basket of water chestnuts was picked, whether it was in the river or not.

He doesn't eat things soaked in dead people's water!

"Yufang, come out Yufang, where did you buy all this?" Sun Zhenbang decided to ask clearly.

"I don't know, didn't you buy this water chestnut?" Sun Zhenbang's wife hurried in, wiped her hands and complained, "I washed clothes and mopped the floor early in the morning. I haven’t been out yet, so I can’t buy it even if I want to. If it’s not you who bought it, it’s probably my son who bought it, anyway, it’s not that lazy woman. I just took a look and she hasn’t gotten up yet.” The lazy woman is talking about her son daughter in law.

As he said that, Sun Zhenbang's wife reached out to pick up the water chestnut in the basket and looked at it: "It's quite fresh, how about roast pork ribs with water chestnut at night?"

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!" Sun Zhenbang reached out and knocked the water chestnut from his wife's hand: "Didn't I say that you should not buy water chestnuts during this time? Why don't you listen to my words?"

"Then I bought everything, so I can't throw it away, right?" Sun Zhenbang's wife gave Sun Zhenbang an annoyed look: "I'm not used to your bad temper, so I cook pork ribs with water chestnut at night, whether I like it or not."

Sun Zhenbang had no choice, he couldn't really watch his family eat this thing, so he leaned into his wife's ear and whispered the matter. After hearing this, his wife became anxious: "Why didn't you say it earlier, who would waste it if you said it earlier?" This money?"

"You won't go in, will you?" Sun Zhenbang's wife asked worriedly.

"Don't worry." Sun Zhenbang is full of confidence: "Don't say that no one has found it yet, even if someone finds the body, I can't find out that I did it." Pile ready-made scapegoats.

At this time, outside the door, Sun Zhenbang's son came back, and seeing the water chestnut on the stove, Sun Zhenbang's son said suspiciously: "Dad, have you bought water chestnut? Didn't you say not to buy it during this time? I don't think you should buy it either. The pollution is too heavy, who knows what will happen if you eat it."

Pollution and non-pollution are second to none. After hearing what their son said, they knew that the water chestnut was not bought by him. Sun Zhenbang and his wife panicked.

No one bought it, so why is there water chestnut in the house?

Stop being haunted, right?

Sun Zhenbang and his wife looked at each other, neither of them dared to say what they had in mind.
