Chapter 18 Reasons

After Wang Yuchen was buried, the discussions about the shipwreck in Tamsui Town gradually subsided, and the town returned to its former peace. But everyone knew that this peace was just superficial. This incident was like a thick cloud that had been shrouded over the heads of the townspeople and had never dissipated.

The reason for such a great deterrence is that Wang Yuchen died strangely. According to the rovers on the same boat, the boat was about to reach the finish line, and everyone was accelerating with all their might. But suddenly, they heard a strange sound from the boat, ""crying", like an animal grinding teeth. Then, the hull suddenly tilted to the right side, and they were all frightened. After stabilizing their bodies, they saw more than a dozen large holes on their bodies, and the water was surging out of the hole. Wang Yuchen was quite calm at the time. He decisively gave up the competition and asked the rattlers to find something to block the hole. However, before the hole was blocked, a narrow crack suddenly broke open at the bottom of the boat, and the gap became longer and longer, and the entire hull was almost dismantled in half.

After being hit so hard, the hull could not hold on and soon disappeared into the water. However, at that time, they were not panicked, but were a little depressed, and felt that the champion he had won was thrown away inexplicably. The boats in other towns were also loyal. Seeing this situation, they turned the bow of the ship and drove towards the place where the accident happened, preparing to rescue the radiators who fell into the water.

According to their recollections, at that time, Wang Yuchen was still chatting with his brothers and comforting them that it was okay. Come again next year, the champion will be from Tamsui Town sooner or later. When the rescue boat arrived, he still floated calmly in the water and directed everyone to save people. At that time, although they were full of doubts about the disintegration of the boat, the water surface was calm and could be rescued immediately, so no one felt afraid.

However, just as the rovers climbed onto the regatta one after another and were about to pull Wang Yuchen up, they found that he was missing. But not long ago, he was still not far away, and laughed and teased the ugly thing about himself falling into the water.

The river surface was still calm, and the river water was like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds clearly. However, in the same color of water and sky, Wang Yuchen was missing, and he disappeared silently and did not even call for help.

At first, the scratchers thought Wang Yuchen was looking for them to be happy, so they kept calling his name, but after a while, they found that he had not shown up. Everyone panicked and began to jump into the water to find people.

The water of Nanzhou River has always been very clear, and there are no undercurrents or reefs under the water. It is said that it should be not difficult to find someone, not to mention that there are so many experienced rogue soldiers. However, they searched for an hour in the water and changed several groups, but they still couldn't find any trace of Wang Yuchen.

It was already noon, and the sun rose above, shining silvery light on the river surface and white. Just as the hands were about to give up, someone suddenly saw something floating on the water not far away, and it seemed to be a person. So everyone quickly rowed the boat. As they expected, the man was Wang Yuchen. However, his face was ashen, and his hands stood up straight, as if trying to grab something.

He obviously had no breath.

Several rogues with him cried on the spot. No one expected that it was a festive festival, but now it was the death of their companions. That person was still the most energetic Wang Yuchen among them.

The others rushed to catch his body. However, as soon as the body was left the water, everyone was frightened and almost threw him down, because Wang Yuchen's feet were gone, and the blood under his calves was dyed red with the blue river surface.

Jiang Xixi lay on the bed and tossed and turned. She went to the tea garden to pick tea leaves for the morning. She was so tired that the back was sore that the cicadas outside the window were so noisy that she couldn't even sleep a stable nap. Perhaps, the inability to sleep had nothing to do with the cicadas. For several days, as soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was Wang Yuchen's blue and white body without feet. His eyes were wide open, and in addition to being unwilling, she was still afraid. Jiang Xixi asked herself countless times in her heart, what did Wang Yuchen see before she died, so she was scared like this?

The townspeople said that his death was not that simple. There was no wind or wave that day, how could his body float from afar? Unless he was torn and brought underwater by something and dragged to a place that others could not notice. The reason why those things did this was that others could not find Wang Yuchen and provide help. However, they had a deep feud with Wang Yuchen, not only to drown in the river, but also to bite his feet off, ending up with no dead body.

The townspeople did not indicate what "those things" were, but everyone had a clear idea in their hearts because Wang Yuchen's body was covered with bite marks, the scars were thin and small, and there were some blood holes, which were not big, but very deep, and were obviously caused by sharp and long teeth.

It's a mouse.

Jiang Xixi also thought so, because mice not only swim but also hold their breath, and stay under the water for more than people, which can completely make Wang Yuchen drowned in the river. But soon, she thought of another question: how many rats can drag a strong man like Wang Yuchen to the bottom of the water, and even leave him with no time to call for help.

There was also the ship. According to the hand-tickers, they heard the sound of animals grinding their teeth before entering the water. Now that they think about it, it was the mice that bit the boat through. So, these mice were staying on the boat long before the start of the race boat. There was a narrow and confined space between the sampan and the bottom of the boat. They must have hid there, waiting quietly, waiting to give Wang Yuchen a fatal blow.

Jiang Xixi suddenly sat up from the bed: Could it be the silkworm again? It commanded these mice and destroyed the annual event in Danshui Town? But why did it do this? First, it ate the silkworm seedlings of the Yu family, and then destroyed the boat and roaring hands in Danshui Town. What was the reason for it doing this?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xixi could no longer hold back. She got off the bed, pushed open the door and walked out, and came outside Mrs. Fan's house. She had to ask clearly what this silkworm was to figure out why it came out to cause trouble again after many years.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, I saw a figure in the yard moving. Fan Qing walked lightly from the room like a ghost. Without even looking at her, she walked straight outside the yard...
