Liang Shi led a few workers into the water and dragged up the two fish thieves who were too numb to move.

The physical harm was secondary; the psychological trauma was far too severe. Firstly, having urine poured over them, disgusting and nauseating, followed then by the shock from gasoline that scared them half to death, and finally being attacked by a terrifying group of aquatic creatures in the water— a relentless series of blows that might have caused a city-bred young lady like Nangong to collapse. That these two were still conscious was indeed indicative of their sturdy mental fortitude.
"It's them! They've come to steal the fish at least four or five times!"
Liang Shi recognized them at first sight; it was this group that often came to steal fish from the reservoir.
