Chapter 0094 Underwater Coffin
I didn't expect that Mo Xiu, who left disappointed last night, would come back with a basket of wild fruits early this morning.
He even picked up a red wild fruit to tease Po, causing Po to stretch out his hand and stick out his tongue to grab it. How could Po snatch it away from him? He could only follow him and dodge left and right.
She looked at him in surprise: "Snake Lord, what's the matter?"
Looking at the stone bowl he was holding, I lowered my eyes and reached into my pocket to feel for the razor: "Do you want my blood?"
Mo Xiu paused while teasing A Bao, and A Bao rolled up the wild fruit with his tongue and swallowed it. Mo Xiu looked at me with pain in his eyes.
"No." He tightened his hand holding the stone bowl, took out two and handed them to Abao.
Then he stood up and handed the bowl to me: "I picked it this morning. It can't be kept for long. Eat it as soon as possible."
The stone bowl was grayish white, filled with tiny red fruits, covered with a thin layer of dew, lying quietly in the bowl.
A bowl full of crystal clear red beans, just like the best red beans.
Ginseng is rare, and ginseng berries are also rare, with only three or four berries on one ginseng plant.
It’s really not easy to gather such a full bowl.
A Bao had already swallowed the two pills and was walking towards me tremblingly, looking at me eagerly.
Mo Xiuzhi reached out and grabbed it again, but after picking it up, he loosened his hand and dropped a few of them. When he handed it to A Bao, there were only two.
"You've been injured a lot recently, so eat it first. I'll pick some for...Abao next time." Mo Xiu's eyes sparkled, and he turned his head to glance at Abao: "After he eats it, he may be able to change his teeth."
I held the stone bowl and pinched a pill: "Thank you, Mr. Snake."
Mo Xiu's face suddenly turned pale. He glanced at me with something flickering in his eyes. His black robe flashed and he disappeared again.
The berries melted in my mouth. I was indeed injured all the time, so I didn't hesitate. Who would go against delicious food and their own body?
Abao's body is too yin-filled, so he really can't eat too much of these. I ate these red fruits as quickly as possible.
Abao was so anxious that he kept gurgling. I gave him the stone bowl, but he still held it and drank from it, sniffing the water. I had to coax him over with a piece of meat.
He drank some water to suppress his breath, then went out again.
Qin Mipo and the others had already set up the incense table, and Uncle Li and Aunt Li were kneeling on the cushions.
I hurried over to help burn paper and pour wine.
After Mrs. Qin buried the eggs brought by Uncle Li and his wife in the rice bowl, I hurried over with the tray.
After burning another round of incense and serving the wine, Qin Mipo signaled me to go forward and sprinkle water and light the incense.
I did everything he said, but when I saw the ashes of the burning paper rolling out from Uncle Li's mouth, I knew that Li Qian was in great danger.
If there is no ghost to collect the paper money, it will just lie quietly in the brazier after being burned and will not move.
If you burn it at home, the ghosts will be there and the flames will just flicker.
But in other people's homes, ghosts cannot enter other people's homes at will, so the paper ashes will roll outwards.
Qin Mipo took a look and probably felt the same thing.
After the paper was burned, I held the tray and Qin Mi Po poured the eggs buried in the rice into the tray.
The egg was laid at home, lying on the slightly white and crystal rice, and seemed to have a sense of death.
I handed the tray to Aunt Li, who is Li Qian's mother and the one whose energy is closest to Li Qian.
Aunt Li picked up the egg with some doubts. Qin Mipo took it in her hand, sat on the futon, and looked at the fire in the brazier.
He raised his hand and motioned me to come over, and I was a little surprised.
When I got closer to take a look, I saw a shadow in the translucent egg. It looked like there was a person lying there, and judging by her posture, it was probably a woman.
There seemed to be something long wrapped around her, and it seemed as if there were many things floating next to her.
I wanted to take a closer look, but found that the thing that was wrapped around me seemed to come alive and shot towards my eyes.
I was so scared that I leaned back instinctively, but when I looked closely, the egg was still firmly held in Qin Mipo's hand.
I blinked at Qin Mipo, but she had already taken the other egg from Aunt Li.
Maybe it was because I moved too much just now, Uncle Li looked at me worriedly.
After Qin Mipo picked up the egg, I instinctively leaned over to take a look.
But I found that there seemed to be something floating in the egg, as if it was somewhere. I felt vaguely familiar with it, but I couldn't remember where it was.
Qin Mi Po turned her head and glanced at me, then put the egg back on the rice: "It's by the water in the south, very close to here."
Asking about rice is actually about using the earthiness of rice and the vitality of eggs to sense the changes in the aura of the owner, which will then be reflected in the embryonic egg liquid inside.
"How close?" Uncle Li came over quickly.
My mind was filled with the image of the second egg floating up and down, and I couldn't remember where it was.
"It's in our town." Qin Mipo looked at me with concern and said in a deep voice, "In the river in the town."
I suddenly remembered what that floating up and down was, and looked at Qin Mipo, who nodded at me.
The night I scattered my grandmother's ashes, I stood at the town bridge for a long time.
There was something floating on the surface of the river.
I was in a mess at the time and didn't take it too seriously.
Now I think of it, it seems to be a buoy?
"You take them." Qin Mipo seemed very tired and whispered, "Abao, I'll take them."
After she finished speaking, she started coughing again.
I had a vague feeling that this matter must be related to me, but I still took Uncle Li and Aunt Li to the town.
When I got to the outside eaves, I found that in addition to my electric scooter, Zhang Hanzhu's electric car was also parked here.
"The people from the Wentian Sect took the father and daughter out of town. Yu Xinhe is waiting for them outside the town." Qin Mipo threw the key to me and said with a wry smile, "I asked He Gu to bring a message. I won't call you anymore. I don't know what to say."
I took the key and rode the electric bike to lead the way. Uncle Li and Aunt Li followed me and we went straight to the bridge at the edge of the town.
It was almost noon and there were not many people on the bridge.
I took Uncle Li and his wife to stand at the bridge head and take a look. Sure enough, we saw a buoy not far from the bridge.
The buoy is quite large, and the chains it drags are very thick.
When I was a child, there were weeping willows and many other trees planted on both sides of this river in the town.
Later, when people went to pan for gold and dig for sand, they simply pumped out the floating sand under the riverbed. The riverbed even sank several meters, and the river water has never been clear since then.
The buoy was probably left behind by a dredging ship. It was very old and rusty, but when the wind blew, it swayed on the turbid water surface.
I pointed to Uncle Li: "Under that buoy."
After hearing this, I realized how powerful Qin Mipo Wen Mido was.
There are two eggs. The first one clearly sees Li Qian, while the second one can see the general environment she is in. It is completely like switching perspectives.
When Uncle Li saw me pointing at the buoy, he was still a little dazed, but Aunt Li next to him felt her legs go weak and she knelt on the ground.
It was hot at the moment and the ground was scorching from the sun, so I quickly helped her up and found a shady place for her to lean on.
"Is there a house down there?" Aunt Li grabbed me and said in a low and exaggerated voice, "Or maybe it's a submarine?"
I patted her hands, not knowing how to comfort her.
Aunt Li seemed to have reacted and pushed me away. "A few days ago, I heard that someone died from drinking snake wine from Shejiulong. You are a liar just like your father."
Her face flushed red, and she grabbed Li Bo and said, "Let's go. Her family is full of liars, so the whole Huilong Village has been punished by God. Now she is the only one alive, and she is still deceiving us."
"Xiao Qian ran away with her boyfriend , how could she come to this town!" Aunt Li pulled Uncle Li and was about to get in the car.
He said hurriedly, "Let's go back, post a reward online, and shoot a video. No matter if her boyfriend is a cripple or a fool, we will accept it."
Although she was speaking, her voice was trembling at the end. The hand holding Uncle Li shook and she fainted.
Uncle Li seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet and almost couldn't hold her. Fortunately, I came to help her.
I half supported and half hugged Aunt Li and pinched her philtrum. She woke up slowly and glared at me when she saw me.
Then she turned around and threw herself on Uncle Li and burst into tears: "Old Li, let's go back. Let's go back and look for it..."
Uncle Li carried her into the car and let her cry. She choked up and made a phone call, apparently asking someone to find a boat to salvage the body.
"We thought that she might have secretly given birth to a child, that she might have been sold somewhere, that she might..." Uncle Li hugged Aunt Li.
Turning his head away: "I didn't dare to think it was like this."
The middle-aged couple had only one daughter, and when they found her, she was under a buoy at the bottom of the river. No one would have thought that.
Uncle Li called people very quickly, probably because he knew he was looking for his daughter. For such a big matter, most people would be happy to help.
After a while, a boat arrived at the town bridge, and many people were already standing on the bridge watching the fun.
When the boat pulled up the buoy, I watched the chain swinging back and forth.
I don't know why, but the thing in the egg that suddenly flew towards my eyes when I asked about the rice suddenly flashed through my mind.
He hurriedly said to Uncle Li: "Don't let them drag him up first!"
But it was too late. The two people who were pulling the buoy exerted force and actually pulled out a coffin from under the buoy.
The coffin was extremely gorgeous. As soon as it emerged from the water, one could see something inlaid on the top of the coffin, sparkling in the sunlight.
Those standing at the bridge watching the excitement instantly became excited: "We found a treasure! We found a treasure!"
At the same time, I felt a sudden pain on my collarbone, as if countless tiny needles were piercing my flesh.
