"Where's Old Zheng?"
The man walked into the back kitchen in a panic, and asked beside the old lady whose ears were a little weak.
The old lady looked up:
"Old Zheng? He went shopping for vegetables, what's the matter?"
Seeing that the old lady was old and lied casually, the man ran towards the vegetable market.
From a distance, I saw a tall figure with a snakeskin bag on his shoulders: "Old Zheng! Old Zheng—something happened!"
A person ran to the vegetable market panting, shouting, and ran towards that person.
The tall man suddenly raised his head and was immediately caught by the messenger.
The man pointed to the riverside:
"Your mother-in-law... your mother-in-law... rolled into the river...!"
After finishing speaking, the man supported his knees and panted heavily.
Lao Zheng's complexion changed, and the big snakeskin bag full of vegetables on his shoulder fell to the ground with a "boom".
Hurry towards the direction the man pointed at:
"Let it go, let it go..."
The man roared, his rough voice gradually turned into a cry.
At this time, not far from the crowd, a man twisted his mustache and smiled sinisterly: "Hehehe... I didn't expect the task assigned by Master Rose to be completed so easily. These idiots really thought the river became clearer." Is that a good thing?"
Seeing the back of the man kneeling by the river, the man turned around and walked slowly towards the distance.
"It starts again!"
The crowd dispersed slowly, and several older ladies were discussing in the corner.
The old lady in checked clothes echoed mysteriously:
"I heard that this river 'cannibalized' tens of 100 years ago, and now it is going to eat people again."
Another old lady wearing glasses hastily put her hand to her mouth:
"Don't talk nonsense! This is not a good thing, there is nothing to talk about!"
"Ah! You just love to worry about it. Things have happened. There is nothing you can't say."
A thin old lady suddenly patted the hand of the old lady wearing glasses, shaking the old lady in fright: "This is another pregnant woman today. This is already the seventh pregnant woman who fell into the river."
The old lady Huage looked at her curiously:
"the seventh?"
"Well, it's only been four or five days since the water in this river became clear, and many people have died, all of whom fell into it."
"Ah, I heard that when the river just turned black, it used to eat married female dolls, but now it's eating pregnant women again."
……
Bazhou Branch of Bazhou Special Events Management Bureau.
Ye Yi, who returned to Bazhou City from Kyoto, saw his colleagues who came to greet him from a distance.
"Lao Ye, why are you back?"
Ye Yi's friend Chen Feng rushed up and punched him on the shoulder.
The deputy director patted Ye Yi on the shoulder:
"What are you doing back here, boy?"
He believes that young people should not go back to the mountains after they have finally walked out of the mountains.
"There is nothing good in the city. We have mountains and water in Bazhou, and the air is fresh, which is much better than Kyoto."
Ye Yi smiled, followed everyone to the canteen of the sub-bureau, ordered a few dishes, and sat down with the sound of cooking.
"Didn't you stay in Kyoto?"
"Stay here."
Ye Yi picked up the cup and drank a cup of happy water:
"I still want to go back to our capital of Shu. The world has changed recently. I'm afraid there will be big troubles in a short time. I still want to stay in the capital of Shu and protect the people of our capital."
"Um……"
The deputy director pondered for a while, his eyes full of admiration:
"Now I think there are really not many young people like you who are willing to stay in the valley."
Ye Yi shook his head:
"Our Bazhou City is also very good. The country is now vigorously supporting the tourism industry in mountainous areas. Sooner or later, the valleys in our Bazhou City will develop."
Suddenly, a picture popped up in Ye Yi's mind:
"Speaking of tourism, have there been a lot of tourists visiting the Wushui River recently? When I came back, I saw that the Wushui River was completely surrounded by water."
Chen Feng replied casually:
"There are no tourists, they are all locals."
"Ok?"
Ye Yi was full of doubts, and asked curiously:
"The locals have watched the Wushui River for half their lives. What are they doing around the Wushui River these days?"
Chen Feng shook his head:
"Of course, the water in Wushui River has become clear. The water in Wushui River has become clear a few days ago. At first, I thought it was because of the heavy rain upstream, but it didn't recover in the past five days. Then they gathered around the river to watch .”
Ye Yi was startled, the river has been pitch black for decades, what does it mean to be clear?
"Strange? The Wushui River has been dark for decades, 100 years. How could it suddenly become clear? Are there any other strange things happening in Bazhou City recently?"
"Ok?"
Chen Feng was surprised:
"How do you know? During this period of time in Bazhou, there are indeed many strange things!"
Chapter 243 Strange things happen frequently, Ye Yi personally investigates
Ye Yi leaned forward slightly and listened carefully to Chen Feng's narration.
"People often disappeared during this period, and they were all pregnant women. At first we thought they were traffickers."
Chen Feng drank a cup of happiness spell, wiped his mouth and continued:
"But I heard from some people that those pregnant women fell into the river, and we went to the salvage team to find them, but there was nothing!"
Ye Yi had a look of disbelief.
"how is this possible?"
Chen Feng waved his hand:
"How is it possible! I supervised it myself! Didn't catch it! Nothing!"
Ye Yi's eyebrows were slowly knit together.
I secretly linked the fact that the river became clear with the pregnant woman falling into the water.
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a sound, which startled several people.
Taking a closer look, it turned out that a few people were so engrossed in chatting that they didn't notice that the restaurant waiter came to serve the food.
"Let's eat first, Xiaoye came back from other places, I'm afraid I haven't tasted Sichuan cuisine from my hometown for a long time."
Ye Yi nodded slightly, stretching his chopsticks towards the mapo tofu on the plate, he was indeed sorting out what they just said in his mind.
With the sound of clinking dishes and chopsticks, everyone gradually put down their chopsticks.
After eating, the deputy director stood up:
"Xiaoye, you have been working hard outside these days. I just returned to Bazhou, and I will not send you any tasks for the time being. You should rest for a while."
Ye Yi nodded, turned around and walked towards the door.
Ye Yi walked up and down, observing the Wushui River.
The river water at this time was so clear that it was completely different from the dark river he remembered some time ago.
"Young man! Don't get too close to the river!"
A kind passerby reminded Ye Yi.
"Ok?"
Ye Yi looked at the source of the voice, an old man was walking over staggeringly with a small horse in his hand.
"Master, what do you mean by saying that the river should not be too close?"
Ye Yi moved away from the guardrail a little, and took two steps towards the uncle.
The uncle half-closed his eyes and looked at Hanoi:
"Another baby girl fell down this morning."
The uncle turned his head and looked at Ye Yi:
"Young people may not believe in ghosts and evil spirits, but let me tell you, there are some things you have to believe in. You should stay away from this river."
Ye Yi smiled and nodded:
"Well, it's not that I don't believe it. I just came back from another place, and I haven't heard about it yet."
The uncle smiled slightly, and pointed to a bridge not far away:
"It fell from that place. It is said that when it fell, a few young people were born to fish, but they didn't catch anything. It's very evil."
Ye Yi frowned, and someone would immediately salvage it when he fell. It stands to reason that he could be rescued 100% of the time, but nothing was caught. What do you mean?
"Master, who is that woman? Can you tell me about this in detail?"
Seeing that the young man was curious, the uncle opened the ponytail and sat on the side of the road, and Ye Yi took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside the curb.
Then he took out a stick of tobacco from his pocket, and Ye Yi reached out to light it for him.
"That girl is the mother-in-law of the owner of Zheng's noodle shop. This morning, I went to watch the fun with people. The Wushui River became clear, and many people went to watch."
The uncle sucked a few mouthfuls, and slowly exhaled the choking smoke: "In the end, I suddenly heard someone shouting that someone had rolled into the river and called for help. Several young lads jumped down immediately. I I watched the young man beside me jump off, and I could still see the shadow of the girl who fell into the water."
"Wait until those young guys swim over, not to mention shadows, there is not even a splash of water."
Ye Yi rubbed the center of his brows, and asked casually:
"Where is the Zheng's noodle shop you mentioned?"
The uncle looked up at the young man:
"Just in front of that bridge, it's about a hundred steps to the south."
Ye Yi stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and helped the old man up again.
"Boy, I don't think you are an ordinary person. Are you a policeman? I don't think ordinary young people would ask these questions."
The old man knocked his bong on the ground, turned around and put away his Maza.
"Hmm... It's almost a policeman. I just came back from another place not long ago."
"Then I won't disturb your work."
The old man bent over and walked tremblingly towards the distance.
Watching the old man leave, Ye Yi followed the clues given by the old man just now and found Zhengji Noodle Restaurant.
When I arrived at the door of the store, I found that the door had already been closed.
"Young man? Come to eat noodles?"
