"There's another possibility." Old Chen said.

"Uncle Chen, you might as well say what you want to say."

"Below here is a slope, the edge is shallow, the deeper you go, the soil below is more compact, there is little silt, and it is more slippery."

"Yes! When it's not cold, people stand under the gangplank to wash clothes, and when washing larger things, they must stand in the water. After a long time, the silt underneath is gone.

Chen Jie took the bamboo pole from Rong Pingshan's hand, and used the head of the bamboo pole to try it underwater.

"Uncle Chen, how deep is the water under the aquatic weeds?"

"There is a man who is deep, and from there, the further you go, the deeper the water becomes. Pingshan, you row the boat of Huo Laoer's family over and test the depth of the water with a bamboo pole. Old Chen knew what Liu Dayu wanted to do.

Rong Pingshan walked to the pier on the west side, and a small wooden boat was parked on the east side of the pier.

Rong Pingshan walked to the boat, untied the rope from a locust tree, threw the bamboo pole in his hand to the boat, and then jumped onto the boat, which had a bracket at one end and two oars tied to the bracket.

Rong Pingshan shook his oars, and the boat quickly sailed towards the dock of Gu Li Rao's house.

The boat stopped when it came to the waterweeds.

Rong Pingshan picked up the bamboo pole and tried the depth inside the aquatic grass (south) and the depth outside the aquatic plant (north). The widest part of the aquatic grass is about two or three meters, and the narrowest part is about one and a half meters. The depth of the aquatic weed increases to about three meters at once, and the waterline is three-fifths of the bamboo pole -- the length of the bamboo pole is about five meters.

People standing on the dock can't feel the danger underwater, and the bamboo pole in Rong Pingshan's hand says it all, Gu Wangyue is indeed likely to slide under the aquatic grass in the south after falling into the water. This is also the meaning of Lao Chentou.

"Can Gu Mochizuki swim?" Liu Dayu thought more carefully.

"Mochizuki listened to her parents since she was a child, she never carried us to the river to play in the water, she couldn't swim - she was timid by nature." Gu Lirao choked slightly.

"Yes, all the children in the village can swim, and Mochizuki is a quiet child, she never plays in the water." Rongping Mountain Road.

In this way, it is possible that Gu Mochizuki drowned.

Gu Lirao has a different opinion: "My family Mochizuki doesn't know water, but she is already a sixteen-year-old child, even if she falls into the water, she can get up on her own." ”

"Why are there no aquatic plants in the middle of the pond?" Dong Qingqing asked.

"The aquatic plants in the middle of the pond are eaten by fish, and in shallow places, there are some small fish and shrimp that are active, and small fish and shrimp do not eat aquatic plants. Near the shore, these aquatic plants were fished home by the villagers and fed to the pigs. Old Chen said.

That's what Lao Zhangtou said.

"Village Chief Gu, you recall the situation at that time."

"Mochizuki's mother figured that her daughter should go back to the yard, and she was not at ease, so she came to the dock to pick up Mochizuki - she shouldn't have left the dock before."

"Her mother didn't see Mochizuki, only a basin and a mallet on the springboard, and a few clothes on the springboard, and a piece of clothing floating on the water and grass in the south—you see, right there." Gu Lipao pointed to the piece of water grass that Lao Chen Tou had pointed to, "Mochizuki and her mother were stupid at that time. After a while, the folks came. ”
