Return To 1998

Time passed little by little.

The water at the bottom of the pond, pumped by twenty-four large irrigation pumps, became shallower and shallower at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled all over the shallow water at the bottom of the pond, and some big fish had already jumped in the shallow water because of anxiety, and the speed was very fast.

Looking ahead, suddenly behind.

Suddenly, among the crowd watching the excitement by the pond, someone pointed to a water surface and exclaimed, Look! Look! Look at what is there? Is that a human bone??

Where? Where?

Damn it! There's really something out there, not a fish's back! It doesn't move! It doesn't move at all!

That's a bone? It doesn't look like it, does it? I don't think it looks like it...

My day! Lan Lan's second uncle won't really sink to the bottom of this pond, right? I swam in this pond last year, damn it! It scared me to death...

...

Xu Tongdao and the others naturally heard such noises bursting out one after another in the crowd watching the excitement.

They also saw on the water surface not far away, as the water at the bottom of the pond became shallower, revealing a small cluster of black spots.

Xu Tongdao's expression did not change, but his eyes narrowed again.

The younger brother Xu Tonglu, who was standing next to him, gritted his teeth secretly, and subconsciously turned to look at the elder brother Xu Tongda next to him.

Sister Ge Yuzhu, mother Ge Xiaozhu...

They both stood on tiptoe and craned their necks, looking out at the little black spot on the water.

Ge Xiaozhu muttered to himself: Really? Is it?

At this moment, Xu Hengchun, the village chief of Xujia Village, brought two village cadres and brought some plastic black fish pants and placed them not far from Xu Tongdao.

Xu Hengchun sighed, walked over, stood beside Xu Tongdao, looked at the cluster of black spots on the bottom of the pond, and said in a low voice, Xiaodao, fish pants, we brought you four! Do you want me to send someone down to take a look at these fish pants?

When he said that, those who heard it nearby all looked at Xu Tongdao subconsciously.

Including Xu Tonglu and Ge Yuzhu.

Tongdao Xu shook his head slightly, No! Wait for the water to be shallower.

Twenty-four pumps are pumping water uninterruptedly at the same time, and the speed is very fast. Moreover, the closer the water in the fish pond is to the bottom of the pond, the faster the water level drops.

Because the bottom of the pond is not flat!

Rather, it is concave like the bottom of a bowl.

The closer you get to the bottom of the pond, the smaller the water surface.

At the same pumping speed, the water surface will naturally fall faster and faster.

No, within a few minutes, the small cluster of black spots on the water not far away became bigger and bigger, and… it became less and less like a human bone.

The part of the black spot that is exposed to the water surface gradually becomes a circular arc, and the arc is close to a large pumpkin.

People on the shore, the more they look at it, the more they think it doesn't look like a human bone.

Gradually, as more and more people saw that it was not a human bone, the crowd watching the lively on the shore, the noisy and excited atmosphere just now gradually cooled down.

Many people looked disappointed.

They are watching the fun, as the saying goes: watching the fun is not a big deal.

Not only are they not too big of a problem, they also need to explode.

The more exciting, scary, and frightening things are, the more exciting they are.

At this time, they feel like - grass! I have taken off my pants, so you can show me this?

...

Many things do not need Xu Tongdao's orders at all.

For example: the sun is about to go down, the sky is about to get dark, Xu Tongdao didn't make a sound at all, Bai Jingjing, who lives in Baiwan Village, has already instructed her father, uncle and others to set up two 200-watt lamps by the pond The large light bulbs were carried on bamboo poles and hung on the crooked-neck tree by the pond.

She is still testing the effect of the light bulb after it is energized.

On the surface of the water, the cluster of black spots just now gradually revealed an arc-shaped shadow...and gradually revealed a small half of the shape.

The crowd watching the lively on the shore gradually became noisy again.

The expressions and eyes of many people have become more excited and excited than before.

What's that? A stone mill? Right? That's a stone mill, isn't it?

Stone mill! Absolutely stone mill!

Grass! Look at the stone mill with a rope tied to it. What did they say before? Xu Weixi was tied to the stone mill to sink into the pond, right?

Hey... what's the age? Someone really tied a stone mill and sank people into a pond?

Landlord Lao Cai used to like to do this kind of thing the most!

...

Tongdao Xu on the shore also saw it and heard it.

His expression still hasn't changed. It's been getting dark since this morning. After such a long time, his mood has slowly become calm.

He remembered that there was such a sentence in the previous text: A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood.

As early as I learned that Bai Jingen confessed and admitted to killing Xu Weixi.

Bai Meifeng also said that when Xu Weixi was sunk at the bottom of the fish pond, Xu Tongdao didn't take any chances in his heart.

He knows that in real life, there are actually not too many twists and turns.

This is not a bloody TV series. Almost every time someone is sunk in the TV series, as long as the person who gets sunk is a handsome guy or a beautiful woman, they will basically be saved.

And real life... not so many surprises.

In almost everything, the possibility of going bad is always far greater than the probability that it will be good.

His father... Xu Weixi 99% died in 1998.

The only thing he wasn't sure about before was that five years later, is Xu Weixi's skeleton still at the bottom of this pond?

Has it been taken away by Platinum Root?

Or... something else.

For example: a fish thief who used a fishing net to steal fish, while the white gold root was not paying attention, suddenly a net spilled into the pond, and at the same time a net pulled up a lively big fish, at the same time, happened to take the bones of his father Xu Weixi from the pond. Tangdi came up online?

It's unlikely, but it's possible.

At this time, he saw with his own eyes the shape of the stone mill exposed on the water, and the rope that was still intact on the stone mill...

He knew - there was no accident!

His father is still at the bottom of the pond.

He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, only to choke on it.

Before taking two bites, he was thrown under his feet and crushed.

Turning to look at his younger brother Xu Tonglu beside him, Xiaolu, let's put on fish pants, let's go down!

it is good!

Xu Tonglu did not hesitate.

Under everyone's attention, the brothers stepped aside and put on the fish pants that Xu Hengchun had brought before.

Mother Ge Xiaozhu stumbled over and said to them, I, I bought some incense candles, you, you burn a few incense sticks for your father, and then go down and ask for his body?

Xu Tonglu looked at his elder brother Xu Tongdao.

Tongdao Xu looked at his mother, saw that her eyes were swollen from crying, and her expression was desolate, so he nodded, Okay!

...

Sometimes it's just so cruel.

Brothers Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglu were at the edge of the pond, facing the direction of the stone grinding at the bottom of the pond. When they knelt down and offered incense, a pale white hand bone gradually exposed on the surface as the pond water continued to descend.

Outrageous!
