New White Snake Asking Immortals

Chapter 1439 River Beach

The clouds are getting thicker and thicker, like dripping ink.

Occasionally lightning flashed through the gaps in the dark clouds, and the muffled thunder made the eardrums hurt. Although the thunder was scary, it still refused to rain. The sky was dark as if it had already fallen into the night, and it was so dull and depressing that it made people breathless.

The terrifying pressure left just as quickly as it came, and in an instant, only dark clouds like ink were left gathering and surging.

Moubai stepped on the flowers in the flower bed and went straight back to the house. The commander was finally relieved. He was sweating profusely as if he had just taken them out of the cage. He felt inexplicably distressed when he saw the crushed flowers.

Bai Yujun went back to the study to look at the map. The anger just now was short-lived. Bai Moulong had seen too much misery in his long life. There was no time to be angry every day. Problems still had to be solved and food had to be eaten.

The kitchen is steaming with steam, and the cook is playing with the pots and pans, playing the most beautiful delicious music in the heart of a foodie.

The scent of crickets and condiments wafts away, and the tempting taste relieves the depressing atmosphere.

In the living room, the woman had no choice but to be polite to the handsome man and talk nonsense.

"Aunt, the flowers at home are in full bloom, and my father invites friends to hold a grand flower feast..."

"Oh, it should be lively."

"My nephew went to the county town to discuss business a few days ago and met a few young heroes. We agreed to go on an outing to Qingshan Temple together at the end of the month, along with Mr. Nan, the governor of the county..."

"Well, this is a rare opportunity. Learn more."

"The second brother is engaged to the Dong family's daughter, and the clan is discussing choosing an auspicious day to bring the betrothal gift to the house..."

"fine."

"Grandma often talks about my aunt and my princess cousin. The holiday is coming soon. The old man hopes that my aunt will take my cousin home to celebrate the Reunion Festival together. My cousin..."

The woman suddenly stood up, and the young man in brocade stopped talking.

"Rui'er, it's getting dark and it's hard to walk on the road. Go back early to save your parents from worrying."

Seeing that the boy was extremely reluctant, he had to give a serious reminder.

"This is the princess's mansion. Everything follows the royal etiquette. If you violate the rules, my aunt will not be able to save you."

"This... okay, Rui'er will come another day."

The female officer appeared at the right time and led the young man in Jinyi out. The food was about to be served in the kitchen. She silently quickened her pace to avoid him asking to stay to finish the meal. This boy had no other skills and was definitely thick-skinned.

The courtyard was finally quiet, and soon there was the sound of cooking...

Bai Yujun rarely gets up early.

When the sky was light, I rode a tiger for a long trip. This morning, there was no crabmeat porridge and I could only eat crispy rice.

The bumpy tiger's back made the crispy rice crumbs fly backwards. After eating the crispy rice, he took out the braised tofu from the sacks hanging on both sides. The fat tiger picked up the wind and ran faster and faster, and the evil wind blew up the roadside. The dog's tail grass is swaying wildly.

Tigers and winds rolled across the wilderness in an instant, and the hills returned to silence.

There was a dirt hole in the grass that had been trampled by a tiger. The dirt was turned over, and a fat, cursing rabbit came out backwards.

The fat tiger flew past the caravan like a gust of wind, causing waves of exclamations.

Before the sun rose, a river appeared in front of Bai Yujun. He silently calculated his speed and then found the approximate location on the map. Fortunately, he met a postman. Postmen in this era had living maps. He asked the postman for the location and direction before he wet his pants.

The fat tiger flew upstream along the river beach.

After a while, I saw many people by the river from a distance.

The fat tiger riding the wind began to slow down, and the sound of treading on the ground became heavier and heavier. The official officials and villagers gathered by the river were frightened and retreated in panic. Fortunately, the county officials knew the fiefdom princess and nervously led the official officials to greet her.

The fat tiger braked suddenly, and its claws plowed deep grooves in the hardened river beach, turning out wet mud mixed with white clam shells.

The officials headed by the two men bent down and saluted.

"County Prime Minister Du Lin."

"County Lieutenant Gao Hu."

"See Your Highness the Princess."

Bai Yujun nodded and waved casually.

"No formalities, continue with the ceremony, don't worry about the so-called high-ranking monks."

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant, who bent down and bowed their heads, looked at each other. They didn't know what to do. What to do with the monk who came and went without a trace. Maybe the royal family had its own backer. Since the princess said so, they could only take one step at a time.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After the county magistrate got up, he ordered the officers to continue with the work, and he and the county lieutenant accompanied him to wait for the princess to ask questions.

Mr. Bai Yu, who was on the tiger's back, glanced down from a high position. He saw that the river beach was in a mess, including officials, nearby farmers, and servants from various clans who came to inquire about the news. More than a hundred people trampled the soft river beach hard and built several temporary thatched sheds.

There are several small corpses covered with straw mats on the shore. They appear to be about five or six years old. The weather is hot and if there is no wind, you can smell the body odor.

Grab the tiger hair and slide down to the ground.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant stepped forward to lead the way to the hay shed, and the sly servant quickly wiped the chairs.

The surrounding people watched nervously, whispering and marveling. Whenever the tiger turned its head, it would be so frightened that it would roll back.

The county magistrate quickly took out a bench so that the princess could sit on the chair. The county magistrate secretly sighed that he had not taken the chance.

Satisfied, a certain Bai stepped on the bench and sat on the chair, casually browsing through the office records.

"Why are there only a few corpses, but where are the rest? Did the family members take them away?"

Hearing this, Du Xian Cheng bent down and took a step forward at a very fast speed. The county captain who had just raised his feet was surprised by the county Cheng's speed and secretly cursed that the old guy was faster than himself who had been practicing martial arts all year round.

"Your Highness, Princess Qi, the journey is far away. The families of the victims have not arrived yet. The remaining bodies are still under the water and difficult to recover. I have already sent someone to invite the nearest body recoverer, who should be here soon."

After saying this, he managed to squeeze out a few tears, successfully portraying the image of a parent who was overly sad and concerned about the people.

Gao Xianwei was finally convinced and felt that I was not as good as him.

Bai Yujun blinked.

"The water is too deep?"

This time, the well-prepared Gao Xianwei was once again overtaken by Du Xiancheng, his eyes were particularly resentful.

Du Xiancheng wiped his almost dried tears with his sleeves.

"Deepness is just one thing. Please see, Your Highness, this is a backwater bay. The water is turbid. Only corpse diggers can find the body."

Bai Yujun nodded to express that he understood. This matter indeed requires a professional body hunter.

Looking around randomly, I saw a table with incense candles, roasted chicken and a few glasses of wine set up on the bank. If I guessed correctly, they were worshiping the River God, hoping for good luck and blessing from the River God. Bai Yujun originally planned to ask the River God for help. Think about it. I think I'll wait and see.

While Gao Xianwei was thinking about how to respond first next time, the county magistrate had already taken out his fan and fanned him diligently.

"..."

Lieutenant Gao Xian is a bit autistic.

Fortunately, we didn't have to wait too long. The policemen and the corpse collectors arrived by boat.

A thin, black old man who has been living on the water all year round, wearing slightly baggy old clothes, half-cut trousers, and bare feet. Even when facing official officials, he has no unnecessary expression. Even so, the officials will not show off in front of him. Ordinary people will treat the corpse collector. Always give him a wide berth.

You won't get rich or starve to death by doing this kind of business. It involves the two realms of yin and yang and ordinary people can't do it. It belongs to doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

The old man looked at the shore and was surprised to see a huge tiger.

The small fishing boat sailed into the backwater bay. The officer squatted in the cabin and talked about all the gods he knew.

The old man's expression was very relaxed.

"It's okay. The King of Beasts is here to ensure that nothing strange happens."

"Really...really?"

"This little old man has been fishing for corpses for half his life, so he can't make a mistake."

The old man had no intention of going ashore to meet with the officials. He parked the boat in the murky deep water, put away the oars, took off his clothes, put them carefully and held them down with wooden boards.

"There are two of you down here, I'm going to start working."

After saying that, he jumped into the water with a hemp rope in hand.
