Section 58
Jiang Ran, who had eaten Xinxinnian snail noodles, took off. Seeing that the time was still early, he proposed: "Shall we go for a walk by the river?"
Ying Qiao struggled for two seconds between going home to take a bath and changing clothes and going for a walk with the little monster on the riverside, and finally chose to go to the riverside: "Okay."
The riverside is neither far nor near. Jiang Ran originally wanted to ride a shared bicycle. Who knew that Ying Qiao could not ride a bicycle, so the two could only take a ride.
When we arrived at the river beach, the sky was already dark, and the street lights on Jiangbin Avenue were on. Pedestrians who walk for exercise are mostly in pairs, dragging their families.
Jiang Ran hugged Jiaotu, and Ying Qiao squatted with a squat on his shoulders. The two merged into the crowd, seeming to be no different from the ordinary people around who dragged their families out to play.
Because of this hidden cognition, Ying Qiao's whole body discomfort has been diluted a lot.
The two walked along the long riverside avenue, and when they were tired, they found a place with few people to sit down. It hasn't rained recently and the water level of the river is not high. They can go down the stairs and play in the water for a while.

Sui Su jumped off Ying Qiao's shoulders, and ran to pick up the Jiao Tu in Jiang Rian's arms.
He lifted the big snail shell of Jiaotu with his head, then ran to the water danglingly, threw Jiaotu into the river with a plop.
The large snail shell studded with gems floated slowly, Jiao Tu stretched out his head, spouted a sip of water at Suan, and quickly retracted.
Suan took his paw and splashed the water back, and the two brothers had a great time playing in the water.
Jiang Rian sat not far away and watched, and saw that Suan became a Luotang cat in a short while.
Ying Yao's thoughts were all on him, and he didn't pay attention to Brother Suan who was playing around.
The little monster looks at his younger brother, and he looks at the little monster.
Jiang Ran looked at it, and suddenly he snorted, and he leaned forward to look at the center of the river-a large turtle swimming quickly toward the shore.
He looked at the direction the turtle was swimming, which was also a slope, because the street light there was broken, so there were no tourists.Only one person in a hooded sweater squatted in the green belt on the river bank. He was holding a nylon rope with the thickness of a finger in his hand, and the other end of the nylon rope was hanging in the river water.
Through the swaying water surface, one could vaguely see that it was a cage for catching turtles.
The author has something to say:
Cool guy: It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.
Longlong: Snail powder smells so bad.

Chapter 67
The turtle was fast, but it swam from the center of the river to the shore in just a few minutes.As it got closer, it looked a little bigger. Jiang Ran thought it was the one he had seen in Qingyang Lake before, but when he got closer, he found that it was not the same one.
This one is slightly larger, the head is not that sharp, and there are inconspicuous gray-green spots on the thick neck.
Jiang Ran glanced at the man hiding in the green belt. The opponent was wearing a sweater and hat, and only half of his face could be seen vaguely, but Jiang Ran had the impression that the opponent was one of the team members who trained during the day.
@∞好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
During the day, heard that there were turtles on the bottom of the ship when turned off the water.But today, another member of the corpse hunting team trapped another turtle by the river, which makes people feel weird.
But whether it was the last turtle or this turtle, there was nothing special about it, it was just an ordinary turtle. At most, it means that you live older and smarter, and may have developed your wisdom, but at least it hasn't reached the level of refined form.
While Jiang Ran was thinking about it, the turtle was already close to the water cage. didn't know what was placed in the cage as bait, the turtle frequently circled around the water cage, but never got in.
The man waited patiently for the turtle to enter the cage.
However, the soft-shelled turtle sniffed for a while, but did not get in. Instead, it stretched its neck abruptly, opened its mouth and bit on the rope of the water cage.
The strength of the turtle should not be small, and it was pulled off unexpectedly, and the man in the green belt staggered to stabilize his body. Instead, he grabbed the rope with both hands and tried to pull the turtle ashore.
@∞好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
It was probably because the river surface was too dim at night. He didn't notice. After this turtle, several turtles of different sizes approached the shore quietly. They all bite the ropes, connected in a row, and suddenly exerted force. Drag the unsuspecting man directly from the green belt to the water's edge.
Below the green belt is a slope. The man was horrified and couldn't stabilize his body. He even forgot to loosen the rope in his hand, and he was pulled into the river.
The river on the slope is not deep, and there is basically no danger if there is water. But the premise is that there are not so many eye-catching turtles gathered on the river bank.
After falling into the water, the man hurriedly wanted to climb up, but he felt that his pants were being pulled tightly. He turned his head in panic and finally discovered that there were nearly ten turtles, large and small, hidden in the river.
At this moment, these turtles all floated to the surface of the water, with their pointed heads standing on the surface of the water, and a pair of small black eyes looking straight at the man.
The man was obviously frightened, he yelled, and he tried to climb up, calling for help.
But the turtles surrounded him neatly, trying to drag him into the river.
There was too much movement in the water, even the playful Suan and Jiao Tu stopped and looked towards him.
There were no tourists in this area. The closest to him was Jiang Qian and his party. Jiang Qian didn't know what entanglement he had with these turtles. He didn't want to intervene, but seeing that the man was about to be dragged into the water, he thought for a moment. , Or stepped forward to pull people up.
When the turtles saw someone coming, they did not see the saw again, but instead let go of the man and quickly sank into the water.
The man crouched on the steps and gasped in shock. After he got over his breath, he wanted to thank Jiang Ran, but he was taken aback for a moment: "Is it you?"
It seems that not only Jiang Ran remembers him, he also remembers Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran asked: "Are you okay? Do you need to help you contact your teammates?"
"No need." The man smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine, don't worry them."
Although he tried his best to behave naturally, Jiang Ran could see a trace of panic from it.
Apparently, he didn't want his teammates to know.
The man wiped his face and stood up, but his legs limped and he almost couldn't stand. He lowered his head in amazement, only to find a big hole in the corner of his pants, revealing a blistering white wound faintly.
He was so alarmed just now that he didn't even feel the pain.
Jiang Ran grabbed his eyes and pointed to the old wounds that were obviously not newly added on his legs: "This is not the first time this happened, right? Have you provoke those soft-shelled turtles?"
Soft-shelled turtles are freshwater carnivores with fierce temperament, also known as turtles, group fishes, and they are one of the foods that humans like to breed. Under normal circumstances, wild turtles will not actively attack people, but if threatened, they will fight back fiercely. Their bite force is amazing, and they will not let go after biting an enemy. Wild turtles with an extraordinarily large size will not lighten the wound left by a bite.
Look at the old unhealed wound on the man's leg, like a piece of flesh being torn off alive.
The injury is still not fully recovered, so want to come to the riverside to catch turtles.
I don't know what kind of hatred he had endured.
Jiang Ran asked casually, but the man's reaction was particularly loud. He suddenly raised his voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? These turtles are chasing after me and biting, how do I know why?"
After speaking, he limped and left.
Jiang Ran looked at his back and said quietly, "Old turtles hold the most grudges. If you really provoke them, you'd better not go to the water's edge."
The man's staggering figure paused, then turned his head and gave Jiang Ran a vicious look before leaving with a limp.
Ying Qiao looked at his back and snorted: "You can't stop a person from going to death."
Jiang Ran also kindly reminded him that since the other party didn't appreciate him, he wouldn't chase to be the savior.He nodded in agreement and said, "You are right."
...
Because of this accident, the good date ended early.
When sending people back to the community, the two lollipops in Ying Qiao's pocket were finally sent out.
Jiang Rian took the candy and smiled with two small dimples on his cheeks.
Ying Qiao lowered his eyes to look at him, his eyes getting softer and softer. He actually had a lot to say, but when he came to his lips, only one sentence remained: "Good night."
Wait a minute, he thought.
Jiang Ran said goodnight to him, and walked into the community holding Suan and Jiaotu. After walking a few steps, didn’t know how to look back suddenly. At the gate of the community, Ying Qiao was still standing and looking at him. The dimly yellow street lamp coated him with a layer of shaggy plating, and the corners of his mouth were still slightly curved. .
Seeing him turning back, Ying Qiao waved to him again.
Jiang Ran smiled at him, turned around and continued to walk into the community, but a series of small bubbles of joy suddenly appeared in his heart.
He didn't know how to describe this feeling, it was that the whole person was light and fluttering, and the joy that could not be restrained came out continuously.
Although he was hungry every day, he didn't know how happy he was when he was full.
But he just thinks that it should be very happy.
The next day, Jiang Ran and Xue Meng stayed behind in the office, changing Zhang Tianxing and Xiao Xiaoyu to the venue.
Jiang Ran was holding the lollipop that Ying Qiao gave last night in his mouth, and humming a mess of untuned songs to write a report.
Suan Suan and Jiaotu are all lying on the small cushions on the windowsill to bask in the sun. Together with them is the big golden pearl that has been very popular recently. The two brothers were lying face to face, with the big pearl in the middle. You dialed it, and I dialed it again. Life was very comfortable and decadent.
One morning passed by at work. In the afternoon, Wang Qing suddenly called Jiang Gan, saying that a friend had encountered something, which might have something to do with the spirits, and asked Jiang Gan if he had time to help take a look.
"My friend is Guan Shui. He is a good person. He belongs to the Jiangcheng Corpse Scraping Team. He helped us a lot before." Wang Qing said, "I didn't want to trouble you, but it was a bit mysterious. They all suspected that they met spirits. Yes, there are still people in the team who were attacked and injured. If you are willing to come, they will pay you. If you don’t want to, forget it, I’ll find a reason to push it.”
"Guanshui?" Unexpectedly, this could also be involved in a roundabout way. Jiang Ran laughed and said: "I met him once, you give him my phone number and let him go to Qingyang Lake Park tomorrow."
Hearing that the two knew each other, Wang Qing heaved a sigh of relief. After thanking him, he recommended Jiang Ran's WeChat account to Guanshui.
When Guan Shui heard him mention Qingyang Lake Park, he vaguely felt a little weird. When he saw Jiang Ran the next day, he suddenly became clear: "It turns out that the expert Wang Qing said is you."
Jiang Ran smiled and asked, "I heard someone in the team was injured? When did the turtle bite it?"
Speaking of business affairs, Guanshui's expression became more solemn.
"That's what happened after you went back the day before yesterday. You said you saw a turtle next to the dragon boat. I was worried that something might happen, so I quickly called everyone back. I thought I was back in the team and I should be fine if I didn't get into the water, but I didn't expect Zhang Zi When he clicked the boat on the shore, a big turtle suddenly jumped out of the water and bit his leg. If Zhang Zi hadn't reacted quickly, he would poke the turtle down with the boat, and he would almost be dragged into the water."
Although his tone was calm, he was a little scared when he mentioned the big turtle. Frowning and said: "I have never seen such a big turtle. The fins are as big as the palm of your hand, and the neck is as thick as a human neck. A mouth can hold a human leg. Zhang Zi's calf was bitten off. He's still lying in the hospital now."
Jiang Ran frowned: "Isn't it the injury he suffered at night?"
Guan Shui shook his head: "No, Zhang Zi was injured. Master and I took him to the hospital. The others were shocked and should stay in the dormitory at night."
Jiang Ran said about the night before and also described the person's appearance.
Guan Shui's face became uglier the more he listened, his brows were knotted, and his cheeks were shaking: "That's Zheng Yu. After returning home the day before yesterday, he asked for a leave, saying that there is something to go home..." @∞好文, all in JinjiangLiterature City
As a result, something went home, but it turned into sneaking to catch turtles by the river.
Needless to say Jiang Ran, he also discovered the problem.
The author has something to say:
Greedy cub: It's a feeling of heartbeat.

Chapter 68
Because something happened to a member of the team, none of the corpse hunting team came to participate in the training today, only the water came to Qingyang Lake Park alone.
He made a call to Zheng Yu, and the call went through, but no one answered.
After repeating it several times, he turned off the phone with an ugly expression: "I can't reach someone, Zheng Yu's house is not in Jiangcheng, and I can't find him for the time being."
Jiang Ran nodded in understanding, and saw that he was black and dry and his lips were chapped, and he handed him the mineral water he had brought with him: "Let's talk about what happened first. Those turtles can't follow you for no reason."
Guan Shui took the water, thanked him, unscrewed the bottle cap and took two sips before trying to organize the language: "Actually, I can't tell what happened. I came back from the water about half a month ago. After that, we started to find turtles following us."
"That soft-shelled turtle is very big. We have never seen such a big wild soft-shelled turtle. We were joking and wanted to catch it and eat it." He turned the mineral water bottle unconsciously, recalling: "The master also reprimanded us for being ignorant. Such a big wild turtle has become a fine one. Those of us who negotiate life on the water and deal with the dead are most afraid of getting into the water, which is unlucky."
"Master was afraid that we accidentally offended the old turtle, and even let us kill a chicken and throw it into the water as an apologetic. Later, the turtle did not appear for two days. We thought it was all right, but on the third day, the turtle again Here they are. They didn’t do anything. They just kept following us when we were in the water.” He paused and said with a wry smile: “But that’s it, it’s scary. Such a big turtle, let alone water. Here, you can't eat it even if you give it to you on the shore, let alone in the water. Once I went into the water to retrieve a corpse, and when I came up with the corpse, I turned around and saw a turtle the size of a grinding plate quietly looking at me. , Less than half a meter away from me."
He gestured, his expression still lingering fear at the time: "So close, I feel that there is emotion in its eyes, just like people, panicking."
"They just followed? Didn't attack anyone?" Jiang Ran interjected.
Guan Shui shook his head: "It was like this at the beginning, they just followed the boat. We saw that they were not aggressive, and now it is summer, and there is a lot of work, so they are still going into the water as usual. They attacked people for the first time, it should be a week. Before, Zhang Zi and I went to the river to fish for a floating corpse. The floating corpse was washed down from the upper reaches, and the corpse got stuck in a crack in the reef. Zhang Zi went into the water to move, and I was on it. As a result, Zhang Zi went down for a long time without moving. , I was worried and went into the water, only to find that he was bitten by two turtles and dragged him towards the bottom of the river. I hurriedly went down to pull him, but the two turtles actually let go, so I pulled Zhang Zi up."
"Probably from that time, we discovered that turtles would attack people. Zhang Zi, Zheng Yu, and three other team members were all attacked by turtles. Zhang Zi and Zheng Yu were the most injured. Master was worried that we had an accident, so recently we will not allow it. When we go into the water, at best, we will use tools to fish for dead bodies on the boat."
Guan Shui sighed, with a bitter expression on his face: "But you can't keep going like this. Now the team is panicked, and no one dares to go into the water, and there is no way to complete the work. There is no income in the team. I'm posting money back."

Jiang Ran thought for a while and said, "Is Zhang Zi still in the hospital?"
Guan Shui nodded: "Yes, the bite on his leg is quite serious. We were worried about the infection, so he was temporarily hospitalized."
"Then go and see him first." Jiang Ran
