Chapter 1 Dragon King Peeling

My name is Huang Shuilong, and I am a corpse-catching man.

There are some rules in this industry that you must not break, otherwise you will lose your life.

I was born by the Yellow River and grew up by the Yellow River. My mother died in the third year after giving birth to me. There were only three people left in the family, namely my father, my elder brother and me.

My father is a famous corpse fisherman in that place. My elder brother has been learning skills with him for more than ten years.

In addition to my family, there is also a family who also reaps corpses, but he became a monk halfway through, unlike my family who was passed down from ancestors.

At that time, our place had the name "Nan Zhang Bei Huang", which refers to the Zhang family in Nan Village's corpse-catching corpse, and our old Huang family in Bei Village.

When I was ten years old, the summer vacation happened to be the "Dragon King Festival" in our place for half a month.

In the past half month, there are many things that are very particular. The boats will not leave the dock and the people will not go into the water. There is also an unwritten rule in the corpse fishing industry, that is, no matter what the reason is, it is impossible to catch corpses.

That morning, I just got up, and I followed my elder brother who came back from outside and said that a boat overturned in the river yesterday and several people fell into it.

When I asked, I found out that it was from another place and I spent money to hire a boat to get the water.

As my elder brother said, the boat was knocked over by a wave as soon as it went down.

This incident also spread in the village, saying that he had provoked the Dragon King and that the few people in the river would definitely not be able to survive.

My father was smoking a cigarette pot, spitting out a cigarette, cursing "Several Water Turtle Cats", saying that this person who dared to leave the boat would make money and be desperate.

When we were having dinner, more than a dozen people came to my family. The richest Han Laosan in the village was the leader.

In the past, his family was the poorest family in the village. There were no decent clothes or trousers in the family. Whoever went out would wear them.

However, in recent years, Han Laosan has been on the list of capable people in the town. He secretly resells river sand and makes a lot of money. His house has been renovated three times.

Many people in the village were envious. Han Laosan also pulled several gangsters in the village, who were originally like him, and did such a business.

However, my father said that the money Han Laosan earned was not clean and he would be retribution sooner or later.

This time, when Han Laosan came here, he said directly that he wanted to ask my father for help, go to the river to catch the corpse, and asked my father to say a number.

My father didn't want to mess with such a person, and he was a fellow villager in the countryside. He looked up and saw him, so he lied that he was sick and could not catch the body.

After hearing what my father said, Han Laosan wanted my elder brother to help.

My father told Han Laosan again that the rules for the Huang family to catch corpses are that two people are required, and one person can’t catch them.

After hearing what my father said, Han Laosan left immediately without saying that he would add more money several times.

But my father had long been determined and was unmoved.

When my elder brother and I sent Han Laosan and his group back, my father said that Han Laosan must have gone to Nancun to find Lao Zhang.

Then, my father asked my elder brother to ride the 28th gang and hurry to Lao Zhang's house in Nancun to let him not respond to this matter.

In my father's words, if anyone dares to catch a corpse on this day, it is simply not taking his life seriously.

I asked my father why, but he didn't tell me much at that time, and even called me "I'm so stupid and inquire about what I'm doing."

My elder brother only came back from Nancun at noon.

My father asked him if Lao Zhang agreed, but the elder brother said that someone had agreed.

After hearing what my elder brother said, my father scolded him, "Mom, stupid donkey!"

My father asked my elder brother in detail and found out that Han Laosan and the others were riding motorcycles, which were much faster than my elder brother.

When my elder brother arrived at Lao Zhang's house in Nancun, only Lao Zhang's wife was left at home. Lao Zhang took his apprentice, son, Han Lao San and his group of people to catch the body in the river.

When Lao Zhang retrieved the body, my father didn't have to go out to inquire, someone came to my house to tell me.

Speaking of which, Old Zhang is quite powerful. He fished out four people from the river in one breath, but there was another dead person. Old Zhang couldn't catch any of them.

Han Laosan and his group insisted that Lao Zhang continue to catch up, but they kept tossing until night, but they still couldn't catch up.

I heard from Han Laosan that the remaining one who was not caught was the younger brother of the capable man in the town on the list. People said that they would see people and corpses in their lives, and they would be willing to spend as much as possible.

Anyway, Han Laosan told Lao Zhang that he would have to fish out the person. If he couldn't catch it today, he would continue to catch it tomorrow.

As soon as my father and others talked about these things left, they said that Old Zhang would probably not live for a few days.

I was half-believing and half-doubting about what my father said, while my elder brother believed it without doubt.

The next day, Lao Zhang and Han Lao San and his group were busy for another day, but they still couldn't get the last one.

In the middle of the night that day, I was awakened by the thunder outside.

My father and elder brother stood at the door and looked outside.

The thunders outside were one after another, one by one, and I have never seen such thunders since I can remember.

It was estimated that it took more than ten minutes before the movement calmed down.

My father smoked a cigarette pot and said it was because of the thunder that was evil, and I was afraid that something from the river had come ashore.

After dawn, whenever you meet people in the village, you will say that thunder will occur at night.

And I heard from some elderly men and ladies in the village that they have never seen such a person in their lives.

My father asked my elder brother to go to Nancun again, saying that he wanted to go and take a look at Lao Zhang's house.

As a result, my elder brother didn’t come back before noon, but it was already spread in the village that something big happened in Nan Village.

It is said that Lao Zhang's family and his apprentice are all dead!

Moreover, their death was extremely miserable, and they all died of blood, and their skin was peeled off.

I remember clearly that when my father heard this, his face turned pale and the tobacco pot in his hand fell to the ground.

My father stood there for at least two or three minutes without saying a word.

It was not until I picked up the tobacco pot and handed it over that my father recovered.

My father asked me to stay at home and said he was going to visit Lao Zhang's house in Nancun.

Originally, I wanted to follow my father, but my father scolded me directly and almost beat me up.

It was not until seven or eight o'clock in the afternoon that my father came back, but he still didn't see my elder brother.

Moreover, my father's face became even more ugly, and I didn't dare to talk to him anymore.

But I heard my father say something about "Dragon King Skinning".
