Chapter 11 Death Sign
Mr. Jiang has experienced two bizarre incidents in his life. The first incident was that when he was young, he demanded a price with his dead body. The victim could not afford that much money, and then he jumped into the river in a fit of anger and committed suicide.

Since then, Mr. Jiang didn't know whether it was because of his conscience, or because he was afraid of retribution and being haunted by ghosts, so he stopped charging more, and sometimes he didn't even get a penny for the dead body.

But the second incident is even more bizarre and unimaginable. In order to let his family live a better life, Mr. Jiang got greedy 23 years ago and fished up a female corpse that shouldn't be fished.

And that female corpse was Grandma Jin's daughter, and the corpse was located in that strange water.

If it wasn't for the adoptive father who lived in Xihe Village back then, when he ordered Mr. Jiang to retrieve the corpse, and gave him a jade talisman, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Well, it's a good thing that the female corpse was not recovered back then, otherwise, let alone my family, the whole village would have suffered." Mr. Jiang said with lingering fear, smoking a dry cigarette.

"Grandpa Jiang, what happened when you were digging up corpses from the river?" I asked.

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Mr. Jiang began to tremble slightly. He subconsciously touched his broken arm and face, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Seeing that Mr. Jiang was so frightened, I didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said to himself: "The old lady Jin is also very persistent. She comes to me every ghost month to retrieve the corpse."

"Why is it in Ghost Moon?" I asked curiously.

"Because the female corpse can only be fished out in the ghost month, and not in other months. If you ask me why, the old man doesn't know. It was Zhao Banxian who pointed me to it." Mr. Jiang said.

I murmured in my heart, maybe this has something to do with the legendary ghost moon, where the gate of ghosts opens and the worlds of yin and yang meet.

"This old lady Jin's salary is getting more and more year after year, but it's a life-threatening business that hurts people. No one dares to accept it." Mr. Jiang said, and when I heard these words, my heart suddenly moved. , quickly asked: "Grandpa Jiang, how much money did Grandma Jin promise to give you?"

"30, Changsheng, why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, oh yes, the boat rope doesn't seem to be secure, I'll go to the shore to have a look." I said and hurriedly left the yard and ran towards the entrance of the village.

I thought to myself, if I had this 30 yuan, it would be enough to buy supplements for my adoptive father to extend his life.

I ran all the way and finally caught up with the golden grandmother. Out of breath, I said to her straightforwardly: "I...I want to help you retrieve the corpse, your daughter's corpse."

Grandma Jin looked at me in surprise, obviously a little worried about me, "Young man, what I want to fish for is a corpse from 23 years ago. If you can help me catch it, you are too young to have that ability, so don't risk your life in vain."

I naturally understood this truth, but in order to save my adoptive father, I was going to try even if I risked my life, so I begged bitterly.

Seeing that I was so persistent, Grandma Jin was also very curious, so she asked me why I wanted to retrieve the corpse, and I told the truth.

"You...you are the adopted son of Zhao Banxian?" Grandma Jin was very surprised, and the expression on her face became a little subtle.

I nodded, and she sighed softly and continued: "You are a good and filial child, so how about it, if you can really help me bring my daughter back, the old woman will give you 40."

"Really? Thank you!" I saluted excitedly, and then sent Grandma Jin to the entrance of the village, but on the way back, my heart was pounding.

Just now I accepted this deal in a hurry, but now I calmly think about it, not only did Mr. Jiang not get it back, but he also took half of his life, how can I do it.

Grandpa Jiang, who was sitting in the yard, saw me coming back absent-mindedly. While smoking a pipe, he said to me indifferently: "Changsheng, have you gone to see that old woman named Jin?"

I knew that my actions just now were too obvious, I couldn't hide it from the old man, so I nodded, I thought he would stop me, but unexpectedly said: "I know you are here to save Zhao Banxian, old man, I will go with you."

"Grandpa Jiang, thank you..." I bowed deeply and thanked you, but when I raised my head, I suddenly saw a strange and frightening scene. Behind Mr. Jiang, suddenly appeared...
