Soon, Gu Cheng and others came outside the village, where many villagers gathered, bustling with each other and talking at an unknown object on the river beach.

"Brother, look, that thing looks like a person, and like a child!" said a middle-aged man with his arms outstretched in the crowd.

Gu Chengxun looked at the voice and saw that the man who spoke was big and had a beard all over his face. His eyes were extremely large on the face of such a thick and dirty public, with long eyelashes fluttering, and his whole face was indescribably funny.

When Gu Cheng was still surprised by this person's appearance, another person said,

"Bao! Ma Dashuai, can't you say something good in your mouth? Are you blind? It's clearly a ball of green rag!"

"I'm not blind, brother, I just have a bad look. I heard from me that this is true. The rag is definitely rag! Hehe..." The man called Ma Dashang smiled foolishly, and the smiling face that appeared was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

"Gu Cheng, that person might be the plot character that we are protecting~" Chen Xin said with one hand covering her face and close to Gu Cheng's ear.

Gu Cheng nodded in agreement and walked towards the man, "Brother, I'm sorry, what happened here? Why are so many people gathered?"

Gu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled respectfully. The scholarly aura that came from her body spread faintly, which made the eyes of the people opposite him lit up.

"You are? Why have you never seen you in this village?" Seeing that this man was so noble and had an extraordinary appearance, Ma Dashuai immediately grabbed his clothes and smiled awkwardly.

Because today, because the iron smelting at home was too hot, I didn’t wear clothes. In order to cover up the embarrassment, my hands immediately retracted in my pocket.

Seeing this person so straightforward and interesting, Gu Cheng couldn't help but feel a little good feeling in his heart. He held back his smile and said:

"I am Gu Cheng. Spring is here. My friends and I made an appointment to go on an outing in the mountains. I never thought that the mountain was covered with smoke and lush trees. We were not familiar with the road conditions and were lost.

When we were still struggling with how to go, we suddenly heard someone shouting, and we came to see the scene."

The few people behind him listened to Gu Cheng talking lies with their eyes open, and Xiao Xin was stunned. He thought to himself, but Gu Cheng had such a talent for bragging. Everyone couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Even Chen Xin looked at the person in front of him helplessly.

However, Ma Dashui did not see anything abnormal and laughed boldly, "Haha, so that's it. Brother Gu, I don't know much. Look at the small piece in front of him, like green rags, nothing is wrong, don't be so nervous."

However, Gu Cheng suddenly looked solemn, because his gaze had already fallen to the green shadow on the river beach.

Gu Cheng thought that this was definitely not a piece of rag, it was clearly a baby's body. Because it was too small and washed by the river, it had already shrunk into the clothes, which made the people around him mistakenly think it was a piece of rag.

"Haha, it's okay, isn't it just a piece of rag? Let's disperse, don't scare yourself." Ma Dashuai shouted loudly in the crowd. After a while, the crowd gradually became rare. In less than 5 minutes, only him, Gu Cheng and others were left here.

Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Cheng walked to the unknown object without hesitation, squatted down, and looked carefully, with a very serious expression, as if there was something on the ball of rags.

Xie Kun, Chen Xin and others also surrounded him and looked at him carefully.

"Oh? I don't understand, Brother Gu, what's the best thing about this? Why are you and your friends all around this piece of rag, come on, I'll join in the fun too."

The Ma Dashu suddenly became interested and squatted beside him, looking at the things under his feet curiously.

"Uncle Ma, this is not a rag!" The eyes of Zhihui, who was standing beside him, shone with evil light.

"What else can it be?" Ma Dashuai raised his head, stared at Shui Lingling's big eyes, and at the same time, he paired it with the beard on his face, giving wisdom half to death.

"Ghost!" Zhihui suddenly opened his teeth and claws, and grabbed Ma Dashuai's neck.

"Ah~ Help..." A scream suddenly sounded outside Ruoshui Village, but followed by a loud laugh of "Hahaha~".

"Stop making trouble! Wisdom, have you forgotten what we do?"

Gu Cheng felt it was very noisy, and a sense of anger suddenly surged into his chest, and he started to get angry at the little monk for the first time.

"Look, what is wrapped in this green cloth?" Gu Cheng picked up a wooden stick and used it to pick up a layer of fabric.

"Ah! Yes, it's a kid!" Ma Dashuai leaned over, but when he saw the white thing inside, he shouted in panic. His whole thick body couldn't help but tremble, thinking that what he had thought before was right, it was really!

"Yes, it's actually a corpse, and it's a child. Judging from his appearance, he should be less than 5 years old." Gu Cheng's face was gloomy and terrible. This time, the task was to play it real.

"Gu Cheng, his clothes are the same as it, isn't it..." Xie Kun said obscurely, after all, there is a plot character next to him.

"Well, I know what you mean, Xie Kun, I'm the same as you think." Gu Cheng took apart the rags on the body again, and a strong odor invaded everyone's nostrils.

"It smells so smelly. Let's go back to the village quickly. Why do I feel so gloomy here?" Ma Dashuai hurriedly got up from the ground and pulled Gu Chengju toward the direction of the village.

But just when Gu Chengju was about to be dragged away by him, Chen Xin turned her head and suddenly shouted: "Gu Cheng, look, there is a cherry red rosy on the child's neck! It looks like he was strangled to death."

Gu Cheng gently pushed Ma Dashui away, and squatted down again as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Chen Xin, you are right. This child probably suffered a lot of abuse before his death. Look at him, although he had been soaked in water for a long time, he could not cover up the scars on his body. These traces of purple-red spots spread all over his body are proof."

"It's getting dark, Brother Gu, I'm begging all the great gods, so let's not be a famous detective anymore, okay? Let's go back to the village first and stay in my house tonight. How about?" Ma Dashuai cried and begged Gu Cheng and others as if he had suffered a great grievance.

"Brother, listen to you. My friend and I may stay here for a while. I will trouble you during this period." Gu Cheng finally turned his gaze away from the corpse and smiled bitterly with a handsome face.

"What a good thing! This is OK. Come with me, I'll take you to have a drink and a meat! Haha~" When Ma Dashuai heard that he could finally go home, and brought a group of friends, he felt very happy and hugged Gu Cheng's neck and walked towards Ruoshui Village.

When he was about to arrive in the village, Gu Cheng couldn't help but turn his head and look at the other side of the river beach. After a glance, Gu Cheng's face turned pale.

There were no corpses on the river beach, only the gust of gloomy wind whistled strangely, and the girl's cry was faintly heard...
