C559 A Young Couple Martyred by Love
However, it was as if no one's voice was alike, because this voice carried a hint of coquettishness that did not exist for these people.
It was very natural, very annoying, but it sounded very enjoyable.
Who is calling my name?
Gao Fei really wanted to get to the bottom of this, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember. It wasn't until he completely sunk into the darkness that this sound disappeared or disappeared.
On the north shore of the lake was a small town of about seven or eight hundred people called Kabukusan.
The majority of the people in the small town were engaged in the fur business, and the majority of the young and able-bodied laborers were able to live a bit better off. After leaving the small town, they went to one of the few large cities in the prairie, leaving behind only a few old people and children.
The Divine Dynasty also had small towns like this, where the majority of the young and able-bodied laborers worked outside.
Tengri, who was 51 years old this year, had a huge and burly body. His tough life made Tengri look like he was actually older than Cang Wu Steel by a decade.
He also wanted to go out to work, but he was dragged down by his wife from a few years ago. So he had to stay home and take care of his wife and children, relying on dozens of sheep to survive.
In his spare time, he would drive a hand tractor that was said to have been imported from the Divine Dynasty to fish on the side of the lake.
If he was lucky, Tengri would be able to fish a few dozen pounds of fish. That way, he would be able to sell to the only restaurant in the town and sell a few thousand Tugrik to supplement his family.
If one's luck was bad, they could fish a few small fish the size of a palm.
Small fish are not worth much and can only be taken home to be used as a toothpick for children.
The children's mother was getting worse. The boots of the three children were already exposed, and seeing that winter was approaching, Tengri had to change into new boots for the three children in order to not get his toes frozen.
For this home, Tengri had come to Zamkur Lake early in the morning, dropped dozens of nets along the shore, and then ran to the grass to dig earthworms.
For thousands of years, there had been a lot of people living by the side of Zathgol Lake. After digging Tengri all day, he only managed to dig a few dozen earthworms, but he was definitely not the one who had come to fish for earthworms.
However, Tengri was definitely the only one fishing by the lake at night.
In the vast prairie, not only could it graze thousands of cows and sheep, it could also feed the wandering Wild Wolf and other wild beasts. They would usually come out at night to catch their prey, and some would come to the lakeside to drink.
If Tengri couldn't hold on any longer, he definitely wouldn't be in the wilderness late at night, listening to the faint howling of wolves from afar.
"Great Longevity Heavens, let me catch a few big fish tonight! Otherwise my children will not be able to wear new boots and my wife will never have the money to get the medicine. "
Tengri knelt by the lake and kowtowed to the bright moon in the sky a few times. Then, he took a sharp knife (used to protect against wolves) and switched on the flashlight he got from a lamb. Facing the biting cold wind, he started to check the sticky net he laid down yesterday morning, hoping to see a surprise.
Maybe Tengri didn't hear Tengri's prayer. After checking twelve of the thirteen tattered nets, he only caught seven to eight small fish, the largest being about a jin and a half.
Looking at the little fish that was thrown into a shallow hole on the shore, Tengri rubbed his cold nose and said with a whimper, "Oh my god, are you trying to force your people into a corner?"
As he sobbed, tears flowed down his face, making Tengri unable to see the road ahead clearly. He staggered to the last sticky net, bent over and pulled up the rope.
Even though the net was only three meters deep, it was enough to fish out several dozen kilograms of large fish.
Tengri placed all his hopes on the last online page. Because at this time last year, he used this net to catch a big fish that weighed dozens of pounds and sold it at the most expensive price in town. He bought a new pair of boots for each of the three children.
This net was named the 'Lucky Net' by Tengri.
Tengri hoped that he wouldn't be disappointed this time because he heard the Wild Wolf's howl coming closer and closer. He couldn't stay here any longer, he had to get on his hand tractor and leave as fast as he could before more Wild Wolf arrived.
In the vast and boundless prairie of Grassland Country, a person who could survive in the wilderness for three nights was a brave warrior.
Tengri knew the distance between him and a warrior, so he had to leave as soon as possible. Last night, he had used up all the firewood and fireworks he had used to drive the wolves.
Tengri dragged his body up, and slowly pulled upwards. He desperately wanted to get a heavy feeling from the rope.
Perhaps, this Longevity Day had finally heard Tengri's prayer.
Perhaps, his last net was indeed the Lucky Net. After withdrawing a few meters, the rope suddenly tightened.
The ecstasy made the tears in Tengri's eyes evaporate instantly, and he was so excited that his body started to tremble. Just by relying on his weight, he could deduce that the fish caught by the net had to be at least 80 kg in weight.
However, the ecstasy didn't last for long before Tengri felt that he might have been toyed with by the Longevity Day: The fish are alive, especially the big fish.
If the net really had a large fish weighing eighty kilograms, then why did it not struggle when he struggled to pull it up?
"Could it be that I only caught a piece of dead wood that floated here from underwater?"
Tengri muttered, and his eyes quickly dimmed down: a few years ago, he had picked up a piece of wood.
That piece of wood was very heavy. According to the oldest old man in the town, it was called the Golden Silk Sauna Tree, which grew in the Divine Dynasty in the south. During the era of the Great Prairie, it had been transported many times.
The old man from the village said that although the Golden Silk Sauna Wood was very expensive, it wasn't of much use to the commoners. At most, it would only be able to withstand a little heat when lit on a stove.
Tengri was disappointed and very angry. He felt abandoned by the Longevity Day.
In any case, he had to pull the net out. It was one of the main tools of his' outbound income '.
After that, when he saw that there seemed to be two people inside the net, oh, two corpses (it would be weird if they didn't die after staying underwater for so long), he squatted down on the shore.
Around the lake, there was a custom: anyone who fished out a drowning man from the lake would prove that his bad luck was here, that he would become an unlucky man and not be despised by his family and friends.
When Tengri saw that there were actually two bodies hugging each other inside the fishing net, his first reaction was to push the bodies into the lake and leave as fast as he could.
He gritted his teeth and stood up. Just as he opened the fishing net to throw the two unlucky corpses into the lake, he stopped and looked around.
The surroundings were still quiet, there were no Shadow, the cries of Wild Wolf also stopped, it was frighteningly quiet.
Tengri took a deep breath, pulled the rope with both of his hands and kicked the ground hard, dragging the two corpses onto the shore.
The corpse would definitely be thrown away, but the clothes on the corpse, especially the boots, were things that a person like him couldn't afford. He could take them off and have his wife modify them for Tengri, his wife, and their children to wear.
Although it would be unlucky to get the two corpses back, it was still quite good to be able to solve the current predicament.
After dragging the two corpses onto the shore, Tengri untied the net.
There was a young man and woman in the net: the woman was shaking with her arms around the man, her pale cheek pressed against his groin, her legs like vines, tightly entwined around the man's left leg.
The man was delicate and pretty, like a pretty boy who came to school to help. His left arm was around the woman's waist, while his right hand held a clump of water grass. It seemed that he had struggled before he died.
"This must be a couple. The parents of the girl don't agree that they should be together, so they hugged each other and jumped into the lake to commit suicide."
Tengri easily guessed the cause of death of this couple.
Looking at the woman's pale, yet beautiful, face, he sighed with some regret. He knelt on both knees, facing the lake, and chanted, "May the beautiful goddess of Zathgol Lake protect them. We shall be together forever in the next life."
Tengri had already decided to take away the couple's clothes, and no one around him had seen it. However, before doing all of this, he still used the most pious tone to bless them.
After praying, Tengri no longer hesitated and tried to grab the man's left hand to pry open the man's left hand that was hugging the woman's waist. It was cold, as cold as iron, and also as hard as iron.
When a living person becomes a corpse, his or her body will become stiff, and if he or she shakes his or her limbs vigorously, he or she may break his or her bones.
Tengri frowned. He had to take off the couple's clothes, but he didn't want to damage their bodies.
But from the looks of it, if he didn't do so, he wouldn't be able to separate them or take off their clothes.
"I'm sorry, brother."
After trying to break the man's wrist a few times, he failed. Tengri sighed and grabbed the man's left wrist with both of his hands. He was about to use brute force to break it open, but suddenly, he heard a light 'haha' sound coming from behind him.
A soft chuckle, just like people warming their mouths with their hands on a snowy plain.
After hearing this sound, Tengri's pupils suddenly contracted!
He turned around and saw a pair of blue eyes.
