Chapter 413 Corpse in the Bamboo Grove
Upon hearing this, their expressions instantly turned serious.
"What happened?!"
Lin Lezhi and Guan Ziheng exchanged a glance, then lifted the curtain of the cubicle and went out.
Those still in their rooms were filled with panic upon hearing the screams. Many who were about to leave hesitated to take a step and ended up crowding at the doorway.
"Weren't you supposed to be almost at Moyu Town? What happened all of a sudden?"
Just then, screams came from outside: "Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"
"what?!"
"Excuse me, can you lend me your hand for a moment?"
Lin Lezhi shouted as he squeezed through the crowd, with Guan Ziheng following closely behind, and the two of them pushed their way out of the crowd.
at this time.
The sky was already beginning to lighten, and the cloth tied to the inside of the boat had been taken down. Across the river, the town of Moyu could be seen a hundred meters away.
The boatmen stopped rowing when they heard the commotion, and the boats drifted slowly on the river.
Lin Lezhi looked in the direction from which the scream had come from, but their location and the structure of the ship made it difficult to see what had happened.
"Something terrible has happened! Someone...someone has died in Tingting City! Someone...someone has been hung on a bamboo curtain."
The man who came down from Ting City turned pale with fright when he saw the scene. He stammered as he finally managed to finish his sentence, his limbs trembling, and he could only barely stand by supporting himself on the railing.
Lin Lezhi didn't delay any longer and quickly went up the stairs to Ting City. After arriving at Ting City, he saw the person hanging between the bamboo curtains on the north side of the west side of Ting City.
Because the person was stuck in that position, the bamboo curtain could not be completely retracted. The person's body was trapped on it, squeezed extremely tightly, and the body was squeezed into an extremely twisted and bizarre shape.
The lower body and limbs were wrapped in two or three layers of black cloth, with only a small part of the upper body exposed.
However, the person being hung was wearing a black cloak, and his head was covered by the large cloak hood. His head was close to his body and hanging down, making it difficult to see his face.
With the strong wind blowing from the river, the bamboo curtains around me, which had not been properly closed, swayed in the wind.
Not far from the body, at a stall, a person was huddled under his own stall, trembling and muttering something incoherently. His face was covered in blood, which had been wiped away.
When Guan Ziheng caught up with him and saw this scene, his stomach churned and he almost vomited.
When Guan Ziheng heard that the person was hanging from a bamboo curtain, he assumed they were suspended, but instead, they were wrapped up like a pill bug. He covered his mouth and nose, suppressing his discomfort, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with terror and shock: "This..."
Hearing of the commotion on the pleasure boat, Xiao Yihuo and his group also arrived at Ting Shi. Upon seeing the hanging corpses, they were equally shocked.
"He's really pitiful. He was doing a perfectly good business when he ran into something like this. He must have been scared out of his wits."
People who had been at the market early in the morning looked at the man huddled under the stall with pity.
Upon hearing this, Lin Lezhi walked lightly to the man's stall. The man sold pastries, and there were scattered traces of blood on the pastries.
He wrapped his arms around his head, his fingers stained with blood, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
As Lin Lezhi crouched down, he could finally hear the man's murmurs. Terrified, he stammered, "I don't know, I don't know anything, suddenly... blood... blood... it's blood..."
