Chapter 9

bury Kehou's coffin right below it! Yunfeng, you're nimble and light, this isn't very deep. You're the most suitable. We'll use a rope to lower you down, you can take a flashlight and check things ou...Nantong District, Shun De

There were many small restaurants along the road, with lots of diners enjoying their meals. I looked around for a while, and several times I almost reached out to offer my services, but in the end, I held back. After all, it was my first time doing this. Although I was full of confidence before, when this moment actually arrived, I felt a little scared.

I'm afraid that someone in a plainclothes uniform will be behind me, asking me what I'm doing.

After wandering around for a while, I came to the bank of a small river. Seeing this river, my eyes lit up and I had a plan in mind.

Shunde is a fishing village, with very rich water resources. At the time, I thought this way: The bluestone would turn into mud once it entered the river, and no one would definitely notice it.

Seing no one around, I quickly unzipped my backpack and was about to dump the dirt into the river.

"Wait! Stop!"

"What do you do!"

A clear and beautiful shout suddenly came from behind me, scaring me almost into the river.

My heart pounded in my chest as I turned around. A girl stood there, her hand on her hip, pointing accusingly at me.

This girl is wearing her school uniform, with a ponytail and flushed cheeks. She has a red armband on her arm, with the words "River Cleaning" written on it.

"What about you! What are you looking at! What were you just about to throw in the river, huh Were you going to litter!"

The zipper on my backpack was still closed, and I panicked instantly. I quickly waved my hand and said, "No...no, I didn't throw away trash."

"Nonsense! I saw it, what's in your bag! Let me see!" She said loudly and walked towards me.

When I saw her coming over, I was completely terrified. My mind went blank and I instinctively grabbed my backpack and started running.

"Stop right there, kid!"

She kept close behind me, and we started running along the moat.

Running and running, my foot slipped, and I fell straight into the moat...

The white clay in the package sank to the bottom as soon as it got wet. I couldn't swim, so I started thrashing about and drank several mouthfuls of river water before shouting for help.

Later, it was this girl who saved me.

The girl's name is Li Jing, a native of Shun De. At the time, she was a second-year high school student at Shun De No. 3 Middle School. That day, she was working for her mother, who was in charge of managing garbage from the moat water surface.

After being rescued, I was soaking wet like a drowned rat, but secretly I let out a sigh of relief because my bag of white clay had scattered and hadn't been caught.

The girl ran after me, her clothes soaked through. She grabbed my shirt and asked, "Why are you running You can't even swim! Don't you have any sense of self-preservation What do you have in your bag"

I blushed and said, "I just slipped and fell into the river accidentally. My bag was holding books, it's gone now, I can just buy new ones."

She looked me up and down with a dubious expression, clearly not convinced by my story.

"I think you're hiding something. There have been a lot of people electrofishing around here lately. You need to come with me to see my mom, she says you can only leave after you talk to her."

""

"Come on!" She said to herself, then pulled me forward by my clothes.

I frantically waved my hands and shouted, "I'm not an electric eel! I'm not an electric eel!"

“

" Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

But I certainly can't tell the truth. If I said I was a tomb robber, it would be even worse, bigger than electrofishing's crime.

During that time, I thought about running away several times, but in the end, I didn't dare. I knew that if I ran, with her stubborn personality, she might implicate our entire group.

Li Jing's house was right by the moat. At that time, there was a bridge across the river, and to get to his house, you had to cross that bridge.

There were several stalls set up on the bridge. Some sold children's toys, others sold insoles and socks, and one stall in particular caught the eye: it was a fortune-telling stall.

At that time, the fortune teller was over fifty years old, wearing round spectacles. He had a pack of five-yuan red river cigarettes by his side, and he never left them. Even before finishing one, he lit another.

"Wow! Little Li Jing is even better than your mother at this. Looks like we caught another one illegally dumping trash!" The fortune teller sat on his mat, smiling slyly.

The girl, Li Jing, received praise and said with a hint of smugness on her face: "Li Banxian, that's right! When this boy saw me, he ran away and even fell into the river. I suspect this boy might be an electric fish.

Mr. Fortune Teller Pooh puffed away smoke and clouds, nearly covering himself up.

"Oh, an electric fish! This young man is in trouble. An electric fish indicates bad luck and karmic retribution."

“

Girl Li Jing let out a giggle and said, “Li Lao Liu, I only call you Li Banxian as a joke. You really think you're a half-immortal That's hilarious! Remember the last time you told Aunt Li that her pig would definitely be pregnant within a month Well, what happened Her pig died from diarrhea just three days later! Where's the little piglet"

"Ahem... ahem..." The fortune teller coughed twice and said, "That pig's luck was just bad. It's not my fault that the prediction wasn't accurate. If you don't believe me, I can give you another reading"

The girl burst into laughter, bending over with mirth. She pointed at the fortune teller and said, "Hold on, I wouldn't dare have you calculate my fate. You must be out of practice after days of inactivity! If you're going to do it, calculate his instead. Tell me if he's an electric eel!" The girl suddenly pointed at me.

I don't know how it happened, but I just let him calculate my fortune.

The fortune teller first asked me for my birth date. Then he took out a turtle shell, inside of which were three Qianlong Tongbao copper coins.

He shook it up and down, left and right a few times, and then the three copper coins fell out of the turtle shell and landed on the table.

It's probably a coincidence, but all three copper coins that fell from the turtle shell were tails side up. Two of them were stacked on top of each other, while the other one lay alone on its side. The coins were quite a distance apart from each other.

The impression was very deep. The fortune teller's sly smile disappeared at that moment. He stared at the three copper coins, dumbfounded for a long time, his red river smoke burning down to the butt.

After reacting, he looked at Xiao Li Jing, then at me, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly.

The girl smiled and asked, "Li Lao Liu, tell me, what did you calculate Is this boy an electric fish"

"""

The fortune teller lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and looked at me with a meaningful expression. "Kid," he said, "You're not ordinary..."

I was feeling guilty, so I asked him cautiously what he had noticed.

He let out a mocking chuckle and said, "The water is deep, but the pond is shallow. There are many turtles in a shallow pond. You're the most valuable turtle in the pond, but you can't escape your fate. You'll be slaughtered and made into a bowl of turtle soup."

At that time, when this person said I was a turtle and a tortoise, I was truly furious.

Now, looking back on his words.

It can be said that every word is a gem...

Later on, I went back once more, but I never found that fortune teller again. I asked around, and some people said that he had smoked too much and got lung cancer a couple of years ago. He died because he couldn't afford chemotherapy. Some others said that he left Shun De and no one knows where he went.

If I could still see him, I would spend a million dollars to have this man tell me my fortune.

Let me see if I can help Xiangyunfeng find a spouse.

I wonder where I should go from here.ds and feet to a poplar tree branch.Although I struggled with all my might, I couldn't break free.Aza laughed and said, "Farewell, I won't send you off. Don't worry, my crimes are far less than yours....
