My father spent his whole life fishing for corpses, but on my eighteenth birthday, he drowned in a smelly ditch less than one meter deep at the entrance of the village.
The medical examiner said it was accidental drowning, but no one believed it. Because when the body was fished out, the fingernails were filled with black mud from the river bottom, and there was a gloomy wooden nail engraved with my birth date in its mouth - it was a soul-suppressing technique that only Gui Qiye's lineage could master.
To find out the truth, I took over my father's broken fishing boat. The first thing I did was pick up the corpse of a female from the Republic of China. When I got to the shore, I discovered that the jade ring on her hand was exactly the same as the one on my grandfather's wrist.
What's even more weird is that the corpse moss growing on this female corpse and the fungi cultivated can cure the strange disease in my village. I simply collected them all and prepared to honor the corpse-removing masters in the village.
After all, they must have been thinking about today when they pushed my father into the water.
