Grandpa, have you heard of River God getting married?
Twenty years ago,
the River God of Tianshui River
fell in love with Lin Xiu from our village.
That's a great news in Tianshui Village.
Wedding
As the saying goes, the Dragon King take people at midday, River God got married at midnight.
So the village was busy sending the bride there
on the 7th of that month.
It's the destiny set by God.
Don't miss the auspicious time.
River God is getting married.
The wind and rain will come in their time.
Get married!
Yin-Yang Cross-border Person
Since Lin Xiu married River God,
everything has been going well in the past 20 years.
Until the night before yesterday.
Who?
I'm here to pick up the bride.
It's midnight.
Fishing ban?
I can't even afford to eat.
You put a ban on fishing?
I can't afford to eat!
I'll eat at your place!
You have to give me whatever I want to eat.
I'm going to make you poor.
Ban your ass.
I can't afford to eat, I...
Who is it?
Who passed by?
Lin Yu,
where are you going in the middle of the night?
According to the custom of Tianshui Village,
when River God getting married,
he take the soul of the girl and leave the body.
So this time,
I still have to trouble you, grandpa Jiang.
Grandpa, we're here.
Tianshui Village is right ahead.
You're back.
I'm back.
Take it.
Uncle Jiu,
this is the corpse-salvager I hired from the city,
Grandpa Jiang.
Thank you.
Grandpa, this is our village head,
Uncle Jiu.
I went through a lot of difficulties to get Grandpa Jiang this time.
Grandpa, you're still doing it at this age?
I'm old.
I can't work in the water anymore.
Now,
it is my apprentice who goes into the water to work.
This morning,
he fished out an unknown female corpse.
Now he is taking a break while we're on the way.
Morning, master.
Morning.
Is there a big water tank in our village?
Funeral
Put it there.
Come here.
Put it there.
You two go over there.
Okay.
A little forward.
And here.
A little forward.
The one at the back.
Over there, put them in order.
Don't worry.
Stop!
Stop!
Stop! All of you!
How long are you guys going to be foolish?
Isn't this the great reporter Lin?
Second Master, Lin Yu is your niece.
Is this a funeral or a wedding?
River God taking a concubine?
How could you think of that?
You don't understand.
It's Lin Yu's fortune
to be chosen by River God.
Mr. Zhao,
Lin Yu was supposed to marry He Ming.
Now,
are you going to let them do such a ridiculous thing?
Do as the Romans do.
Okay.
You...
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I'm going to expose this bad superstitious custom
to the public.
This...
This is Tianshui Village.
You can't mess around. Liu.
Master!
Smash it!
Put it down!
Stop!
Dad.
Why are you here,
instead of staying at home?
Dad,
Lin Yu...
Enough.
Don't meddle in matters related to Lin Yu anymore.
Both of you father and daughter like to be nosy.
You...
Don't forget who's the head of Tianshui Village.
It's not your turn to make trouble.
The villagers here are quite simple.
Tianshui Village
lives on water.
The villagers make their living on fishing.
The one with a crutch is Second Master.
A few years ago, for some reason we don't know,
he got to cooperate with Mr. Zhao, the owner of a restaurant in the city.
He has been supplying him and made a lot of money.
But we have less fish this year.
So Uncle Jiu decided to impose a fishing ban.
The impact of it is great.
Not only did it cut off Second Master's revenue stream,
it also cost him a lot of money.
A few days ago,
Second Master betrothed Lin Yu
to Mr. Zhao's clerk, He Ming.
In fact, everyone knows that
Second Master was selling his niece.
So, does Lin Yu
have no other relatives?
Her father Lin Gui died of illness two years ago.
Second Master has been taking care of her for the past two years.
So he's the one who pays me, right?
Yes, he is.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Are you Second Master?
Who is that?
I don't know her either.
I just pulled her out of the water this morning.
I was talking about you.
He is Yan Huang, the corpse-salvager from the city.
A corpse-salvager?
Dad.
Second Master, are you the one
who hired me to salvage Lin Yu?
Yes, I am.
This is a bit tricky.
In our business,
young girls are a taboo.
That thing has too much Yin energy.
What do you mean?
In your case, it is River God taking a concubine.
It's a special situation.
How much do you want?
That's not what I meant.
This many.
I won't do it even for one penny less.
No problem.
Here's the deposit.
And the remaining money will be paid in one lump sum
when you fish out the corpse.
As long as the money is enough,
I'll get River God for you.
By the way, please prepare a rooster.
It'd better be the strongest one in the village.
Lin Bao.
Where is my big water tank?
Over there.
Where?
Over there.
This way, this way.
Give me a hand.
Give me a hand.
Come on.
Be careful.
Be careful.
I'm sorry.
When I'm done, I'll go to your family.
As long as there are people who fall into the water and drown,
there are also people who fish for corpses.
As people say, traveling in hell and on earth,
passing though the gate of the God of Death.
The wind howls for ghosts.
Sacrificing dead souls with blood.
The God of Death, please keep the door open.
Wuchang, please take a soul.
See? He's an expert.
If there's nothing else, you can go back first.
I'm not going home.
I mean you should go back to the city first.
Why? Are you chasing me away?
Dad, Lin Yu is my friend.
Whether she was killed or not,
I haven't figured it out yet.
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
