Pump the water?
Wang Laosan's mouth twitched. He wanted to say, "F * ck, are you a sore loser?!"
Actually, he did not believe in any water ghosts. He only said that to make money.
As for the fact that it seemed unreal … How could one explain what happened underwater?
It was unreal to begin with, and they all had their own abilities. They could not fish it up now because they did not put in much effort. If they paid enough money, they would be able to fish it up.
He originally wanted to bluff them. So what if they were police officers?
It was not that he had not bluffed them before, and he had even succeeded.
But now …
These policemen were obviously not easy to bluff!
The old man frowned and puffed on his cigarette.
If they really wanted to pump the water, it would be a miracle if they could not fish it up.
However, he did not give up. Pumping water was indeed a solution, but Swan Lake was not small. There were countless fish, prawns, and crabs in it. Not to mention other things, just pumping water alone would take a lot of time, energy, and money.
Other than that, they had to think of a way to settle the water that had been pumped out. Where would they get more water to fill the hole?
They could not possibly put it in from the water pipe, right?
"I'm guessing that he's just joking when he says things like drawing water."
"They should be preparing to increase their manpower and resources to fish it up, but it does not mean that they can't fish it up. When they are at their wit's end, I will mention it again …"
Wang Laosan's mind was full of calculations, but at the same time, he was puzzled.
His own fishing boat … Why the hell did it suddenly leak?
What the hell was that thing that looked like a human just now, a fish?
He had been in the water too many times in his life and had seen many strange things. However, they could all be explained by science. He had never seen a water ghost before, so he was relatively calm.
In his opinion, it should be some kind of big fish, the more ferocious kind. It had been caught in the net previously and had come to take revenge after it escaped.
It looked like a human?
It was probably a reflection on the water surface.
No one knew that Wang Laosan, who seemed to be talking about water ghosts, was actually the most materialistic one. On the contrary, it was the others who were scared out of their wits.
Although they were scared out of their wits, the policemen were not idle. They immediately made all kinds of arrangements, looking like they would not give up until they got the person out.
However, their efforts were destined to be in vain. Qi Zixiao had already come ashore on the other side.
…
"It's a pity that I don't have any Zhen Yuan …"
Qi Zixiao's whole body was wet, making her feel very uncomfortable. But without Zhen Yuan, she couldn't dry herself quickly, so she could only endure it for the time being.
They met many people along the way, but they all hurriedly ran in another direction. Qi Zixiao ignored them.
However, when she took out her phone again, she realized that it was dripping water, and no matter how she pressed it, there was no response.
"… Broken?"
"As expected, ordinary people's belongings are unreliable."
The road.
Qi Zixiao wanted to stop a taxi, but on second thought … That's not right!!!
"My phone is broken, so I can't use the QR code to pay, and that guy said that I have to pay for the ride."
How could he take the bus if he didn't have money?
How could he go back if he didn't take the car?
Run back?
The key point was that he didn't know the way, only the address!
Why not …
Qi Zixiao's eyes lit up. "Let's do that!"
"He said that I'm not allowed to steal, but he didn't say that I'm not allowed to …"
At the end of the road, an empty taxi drove over. Qi Zixiao quickly waved her hand to stop it …
Then, the taxi driver stuck his head out and saw that 'Lin Fan' was completely wet. He couldn't help but frown. "Brother, you're completely wet. Look, your pants are still dripping water."
"You can't take a taxi!"
"Can't take a taxi?"
Qi Zixiao frowned slightly. "Don't you all work for money?"
The taxi driver was also a smart person. He grinned and then said very seriously, "You have to pay more!"
"Then I'll pay more."
Qi Zixiao immediately nodded, not caring at all.
Pay more?
But I have to have money to pay more, right?
"Fine, I'll take you on this trip. My car won't be able to run today, so I'll charge you five hundred. That's a good deal, right?"
The taxi driver was very happy.
Five hundred … That was basically his daily income. He could take him to wash his car, find a place to drink tea, play cards, or something. Wouldn't that be great?
"Okay."
Qi Zixiao got into the car …
The taxi driver stepped on the accelerator. "Where are we going?"
"Qingshan Town."
"Okay ~!"
The car was moving …
The taxi driver was quite pleased. As for worrying … There was no need.
Wasn't it just a 'drowned rat'?
So what?
He had even taken a 'drowned rat' before. As long as he had enough money, what couldn't he do?
Qi Zixiao was also very calm. However, while she was calm, she kept looking out the window.
After more than half an hour, the scenery in the distance gradually became familiar …
"This is the moment!"
Click!
The car door opened, and Qi Zixiao walked out in a single file.
Her actions were as smooth as flowing water, and it took less than two seconds from start to finish …
"What the f * ck!!!"
The taxi driver's scalp instantly went numb. "Is she here to commit suicide?"
He stepped on the brakes and stopped the car by the side of the road. He immediately got out of the car to check, praying in his heart that the other party was not dead. In the end, he didn't see anyone at all, only the roaring of the traffic behind them.
The taxi driver: "…"
"Where is she?!"
A gust of wind blew past, and his back turned cold …
"F * ck, did I see a ghost?!"
Once this thought appeared, it was impossible to get rid of it like a maggot in one's bones.
Especially when he thought of how the other party was drenched and dripping with water, and how cold one side of her face was …
"F * ck, is it really a water ghost?"
"Who the hell did I offend?"
The taxi driver was so scared that he almost peed his pants …
The problem was that the car radio broadcast a timely piece of news at this moment.
"Latest news: Today, a young man jumped into Swan Lake to commit suicide. The police are currently organizing a search for the body. The follow-up work is proceeding in an orderly manner. We will continue to follow up on this matter …"
"(ΩДΩ)?!!!!"
Swan Lake, a man jumped into the lake to commit suicide, and I f * cking just happened to pull a drenched 'person' …
Wasn't that the water ghost?
What the f * ck!
The taxi driver let out a strange cry. After getting into the car, he immediately sped away.
…
In the nearby forest, Qi Zixiao patted the mud off her body and tidied up her makeup …
"It really worked."
"They didn't let me rob, but they didn't say that I couldn't jump out of the car."
How could such a small matter stump the Holy Lady?
After the taxi left, Qi Zixiao left the forest and walked toward the slightly familiar place in her line of sight.
However, she walked for half a day. Even after her clothes were dry, she still couldn't find a place to stay. Looking around, where was the familiar place?
"I … am lost?"
Qi Zixiao's eyelids twitched, and she was a little confused.
