Chapter 1034: Lady Dahe

"Water float?" the fair-skinned man asked in a low voice, with a puzzled look on his face.

The old man looked at him in surprise, "Why, don't you all call it that, masters? For those... those floating corpses on the water?"

After being glared at by his own people, the fair-skinned man didn't dare to speak. Jiang Cheng guessed that this was probably a newcomer, who had only followed a mission at most, otherwise he wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

Hearing this, the man who led the way also explained: "Masters, the river not far from our village is really... Oh, I really don't know how to tell you, a few days ago, several water floats appeared, all from our village."

"Since you know it's weird, you should stay away from that river." A short and strong middle-aged man replied carefully.

"Oh, what you said, how could we not know, but... but it's useless!" The man was anxious, slapped his thigh hard, his face was fierce, "Those who drowned didn't go to the river, and the people in our village stayed away from the river, but it was useless, they died anyway, a healthy person was still in bed before blowing out the candles at night, and when he woke up... he was gone! How can you prevent this, and then after a few days, the person can be found in the river, floating on the water!"

"Could it be that the person was killed first and then thrown into the river?"

"No! Absolutely not!" The man insisted, "Masters, someone in our village saw with his own eyes that the body floated out from the bottom of the river, and the body was covered with mud and sand!"

"Yes, we can all be sure of this, the body floated out from the bottom of the river, there is no doubt about this!" When the old man talked about this, he was a little excited and began to cough violently.

At this time, the sallow-faced woman hiding not far away whispered, "These people were taken away by the Goddess of the Great River to get married, so they floated up from the bottom of the river."

The faces of the old man and the man changed when they heard this. The old man stared at the woman, trembling, pointing at her with his cane, shaking all over and unable to say a word.

It can be seen that he was very angry.

The man was even more direct, rushing over in two steps, raising his hand and slapping her, "You gossipy woman, what are you talking about! What Goddess of the Great River is getting married, if you dare to say another word, I will tear your mouth!"

This slap made the woman's cheeks red, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, but the woman seemed to have no pain. She sneered, then lowered her head, and never spoke again.

As if he felt that he had lost face in front of the guests, the old man put away his fierce attitude and became more respectful to the people in Jiangcheng, and the leading man also signaled others to take the woman away and not let her stay here to be an eyesore.

"All the masters have real skills. We are counting on you to take care of our village." The old man lowered his voice and said in a very cooperative manner: "As long as the masters can help us solve this strange thing, the reward we agreed on before will definitely be paid in full!"

"The reward is negotiable." Jiang Cheng took the teacup handed over by the old man, took a sip, and then closed the cup lid, "But there is one thing we have to figure out first, what is going on in that river."

"We must go to the river to take a look. Sitting here, we can't see anything, and we can't be sure whether what you said is true or not." The old man with a goatee squinted and looked at the old man with interest. After a while, he looked away and looked at the man who led the way.

The two felt uncomfortable under the gaze. The old man cleared his throat and couldn't help laughing twice, "Master, what are you talking about? How can we deceive you about our own village? Besides...what's the benefit of deceiving you?"

"Yes, yes, we still need the help of you masters to solve the problems in our village." The old man pretended to offer tea again, but this time, he was stopped by the old man with goatee.

Seeing this, the man changed the topic and led the conversation to Jiang Cheng, who seemed to be easier to talk to, and complimented him: "Master, I have heard that people like you have magical powers and are very strong. I heard that even ghosts avoid you."

Jiang Cheng was just sat on the lap of the ghost bride, and now the coldness has not completely dissipated. When he said this, Jiang Cheng felt even colder, and his lower body seemed to have lost consciousness.

"That's all because of the outsiders giving face." After all, Jiang Cheng didn't know his current identity, so he didn't dare to climb up the pole.

But after talking for so long, Jiang Cheng was really curious about their current identities. It sounded a bit like a Taoist priest, but it didn't seem like one.

After all, if they invited a Taoist priest, they wouldn't have to sneak into the village in the dark.

They also mentioned that their birth dates were hard, and the little ghosts would avoid them. It sounded like they were doing shady things.

That is, the kind of people who make money from the dead.

The most important thing now is to find out their current identities. Jiang Cheng remained calm and continued to ask these two people. Fortunately, there were smart people among the other teammates. After a few rounds, their identities were finally figured out.

The white and clean man just now actually trembled. In fact, it can't be blamed entirely on him. After all, even the fat man couldn't help frowning when he heard this identity this time.

They are corpse collectors.

That's right, it's one of the shady things since ancient times. The corpse collectors in the big river are responsible for salvaging corpses in rivers and lakes everywhere, and those corpses are even more horrible than those on land.

Jiang Cheng didn't know if he was tough enough to do this, but he had to be brave. It was common for a corpse to suddenly float in the turbid water and hit someone.

Jiang Cheng had seen a news report a long time ago about a corpse fisherman. After fishing up a female corpse, the man who fished up the corpse went crazy a few days later because he saw a long hair on the pillow.

He didn't have a girlfriend and lived alone.

He was scared crazy.

"It's too late today. Let's talk about it tomorrow." The old man with a goatee smiled at the old man and the man. He felt very uncomfortable staying with these people late at night, and who knows if talking about these things at night will cause trouble.

Jiang Cheng and the old man with a goatee agreed on this point.

Unexpectedly, this simple request was rejected. The old man rubbed his hands in embarrassment and whispered, "This is really not possible, masters, tonight... tonight we have arrangements for you."

"What arrangements?" The fat man asked, he had a bad feeling.

"Well..." The man smiled and stammered, "Aren't these the water floaters dragged back? We want all the masters to go to the temple and help them keep watch."
