Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Lethe River
Looking at the secluded river by the Lechuan River, this is different from what is said on the Internet? Doesn't it mean that the Lechuan River is full of snakes, insects, rats, ants, lonely souls and wild ghosts that cannot be reincarnated, and it is also full of unbearable fishy smell and full of danger? But the river in front of me is unusually calm except for the strange color, and it even exudes a faint fragrance, and it is impossible to see what is dangerous at all. It seems that there will be less Internet access in the future, and the authenticity of what is said on the Internet is indeed not very reliable.
As I stared at the calm Lethe River in front of me, Tony couldn't wait to get ready to go down the river.
"What are you doing?" I yelled to stop Tony as he was about to go down the river.
Tony looked back at me with an innocent face, pointed to the Lethe River in front of him, and muttered, "Didn't you say swim over?"
I stepped forward and slapped Tony on the head.
Rub, seeing my big-eared melon seeds slapped, Tony's guy actually dodged away, I didn't stabilize my center of gravity, the whole person staggered two steps, and rushed directly towards the calm Lechuan River.
I fell into the quiet river, and at the moment I fell into the river, there was a constant pain all over my body, as if there were countless animals tearing my body, and the most terrible thing was that there seemed to be countless hands pulling my body to sink to the bottom of the river.
I rub, what is said on the Internet is true!
Before I could pounce twice, my whole body was pulled by countless invisible hands at the bottom of the river and sank to the bottom of the river, and the dark bottom of the river could barely see a distance of one or two meters around me with my eyes.
But even if I only saw the distance of one or two meters clearly, I was shocked into a cold sweat, only to see that there were countless small black snakes and unnamed strange insects under the surface of the river that were biting my body, and countless hands at the bottom of the river under my feet were scrambling to pull my feet, I was afraid that in two minutes I would be completely pulled by them to the bottom of the river to be their companions.
Seeing the situation beneath the surface of the river, I kicked my legs hard, trying to get rid of the entanglement of the dry arms under my feet as soon as possible, and at the same time resisted the pain caused by the bite of the snake and insects, paddling hard with both hands to make my body float as much as possible.
But my efforts seemed to be in vain, and under the strong force of the dry arm at the bottom of the river, my beginning gradually sank to the bottom of the river.
Auntie, help! You can't ignore it at this time, if I stay here, you won't be able to escape!
"I'm tired of playing with you, you're arrogant and ignorant, and you don't have any characteristics, I've wanted to change places for a long time, it's just right, you stay here, I'm going out to find a little new excitement, it's a little exciting to think about"
Auntie, I'm your nephew, and you've given me up here......
"I think that friend of yours, Wang Wei, is good!haha"
Damn Wang Wei, a mouthful of river water poured into his mouth, wiped it, and it really smelled fishy.
A few mouthfuls of river water choked on my nose and my consciousness gradually blurred, but my aunt and grandmother never responded to me again, damn Wang Wei, didn't you say that as long as you are in danger, you will appear? Where are you now?
As my consciousness drifted away, my body went limp, and my dry hands at the bottom of the river had touched my face, and it seemed that this time I had to explain it here.
Just as I gave up the struggle completely, a sudden rush of heat poured out of all parts of my body, it felt so familiar, and as the heat continued to spread, my confidence was restored again.
Ha, the breath of the sun is back! Sample, see how I clean you up.
After the qi of the sun burst out of my body, there was a wailing sound from the quiet bottom of the river, and when I looked down, I saw more dry arms grabbing at me again, and more snakes and insects kept swimming towards me.
I kicked my feet and swam towards the river, bye-bye, I don't want to get tangled with you.
As soon as I emerged from the river, I saw a black object slamming down on my head from top to bottom.
It looks like a thick stick.
I couldn't dodge, I was beaten into the bottom of the river by a wooden stick, and before I entered the bottom of the river, I only heard Tony shouting in a crying voice, "Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to......"
I think you did it on purpose.
After another tangle in the dark water, I resurfaced, this time nimbly dodging the sticks that were thrown at my head again, reaching out and grabbing them, and finally climbing to the bank with Tony's help.
I sat down on the bank of the river in shock, looking at the quiet surface of the Lechuan River in front of me, good fellow, who would have expected that this calm water would be so dangerous under the surface alone, fortunately at the most critical juncture my Yang Qi returned, otherwise the consequences would be a bit unimaginable.
When I got up, I found that I had been struggling for at least ten minutes in the Lethe River, but the hotel nightgown and body on my body were actually dry.
Perhaps it was a peculiarity of the Lethe River, but without further investigation, I got up and walked towards the woods.
Tony's shout came from behind him, "Brother Ye, don't you swim over?"
"If you're interested, you can go in and try it, but I can't save you, if you don't want to try, go back with me and find another way!" I didn't bother to answer Tony's stupid question, and I turned around and continued walking towards the woods.
After taking a few steps, Tony's footsteps could be heard behind him.
Coming to the mound of dirt where I had just sat down, I sat down, and Tony crouched beside me, no one spoke, just one person and one ghost, staring blankly at the slow, orderly gray dragon moving in front of me.
Isn't there a way to get Tony over?
"Heaven and Earth, is there any way to send Tony to the underworld?"
The voice I didn't want to hear sounded again, "Peerless sand sculpture, I have to comment on your character here, but Meng Po on the bridge only has one day off every year, coincidentally, just let you meet, and in a few hours Meng Po will go into hibernation." After Meng Po enters hibernation, it is the best time for your little friend to enter the underworld!"
I rubbed it, I didn't think I would have such good luck?
"Is there anything wrong with the peerless sand sculpture?"
"No, thanks, you can turn it off"
"Okay, peerless sand sculpture, I wish you all the best, peerless sand sculpture goodbye"
I'm rubbing, are you finished?
"Get out!"
"Roger, peerless sand sculpture"
I tried my best, but I couldn't take off the Heaven and Earth Pass in my hand, and I tossed for five or six minutes, and I even used the Yang Qi, but I couldn't get this thing off my hand at all, except for the pain in my wrist.
Well, I resigned myself to my fate.
Without the sound of heaven and earth, Tony and I sat quietly on top of the dirt bag and watched the gray dragon in front of us getting shorter and shorter, and when the dragon in front of me disappeared completely, Tony could enter the underworld smoothly.
However, there were fewer and fewer gray figures under the bridge, and I turned my head to look at Tony, who was a little glazed-eyed, "Tony, what are your plans for the future?"
My sudden question seemed to interrupt Tony's thoughts, he looked back at me for a moment, and then raised his eyes to look at the dark night sky, as if imagining his own future days, and after a while, his gaze finally returned to my face from the dark night sky.
"Brother Ye, do you think you can see the sunshine in this underworld?"
I also looked up at a dark night sky, I didn't speak, I shook my head, maybe I can't see it, this is the underworld, there should be no sunlight.
"Brother Ye, to be honest, I don't know what to do after that, I can't even enter the underworld in my current appearance, let alone reincarnation" After speaking, Tony was silent for a moment, and then looked up at the dark sky.
"Let's take one step at a time, but I want to find out first"
After speaking, Tony's eyes, which had been in a state of confusion, suddenly flashed with a determined light.
"Answer?" I murmured, repeating Tony's words.
"Yes, the answer, I want to know who I am, Meng Po said that I have drunk Meng Po soup, that means that I must have been to the underworld before, and at the same time, it can also mean that my missing soul should be on the other side of the river, I want to find my missing soul, maybe I can find the answer......"
Yes answer, no matter who you are, what happens, no matter what the environment, as long as you can find your goal, you can keep going, looking at Tony who was smiling in front of him, the child seemed to have opened up overnight.
I got up and patted the dust on my pants and stretched out my hand at Tony, "Okay, find the answer, I wish you to find the answer as soon as possible, if possible, remember to tell me when you find the answer, I'm sure you Tony is not a barber, because your haircutting skills are really terrible"
"Thank you, Brother Ye, I will definitely find a way to tell you" After speaking, Tony did not reach out to shake my hand, but directly gave me a big hug.
I patted him lightly on the back, "Let's go, Tony, it's time"
At this time, there was no trace of gray figures on the bridge, and Meng Po, who had been busy just now, also stopped being busy and leaned motionless on a chair next to the bridge railing.
I took Tony and walked slowly in the direction of the bridge.
Before Tony and I walked to the Nai He Bridge, we heard a snoring sound from a distance, is this Meng Po asleep? Finally, she doesn't go out to surf for a day off a year, is she actually asleep here? Could it be that she sleeps a day after a day off?
Stepping on the Nai He Bridge, I couldn't help but sigh, I don't know if I am the first person to set foot on the Nai He Bridge alive, if there are predecessors, I don't know how many I can rank?
Standing in front of the sleeping Meng Po, this old woman looks at least 100 years old, but this breath is very sufficient, the breath of snoring from the mouth and nose actually blew me a little unsteady, holding on to the railing of the bridge, I leaned into Tony's ear and said to him loudly, "Tony, let's go, the rest of the way is up to you, settle down and find a way to bring a letter to my brother, and let my brother be happy for you" After speaking, he made a quick walking gesture to Tony.
At this time, Tony's eyes were filled with tears again, I go, what I can't stand today is you like this, I stepped forward and pushed Tony, and made a quick gesture again.
Tony nodded vigorously at me, and after trying to squeeze out a smile, he opened his mouth and said something to me, but this Meng Po's snoring was so loud that it was like thunder, and I could only judge from the shape of Tony's mouth, he seemed to be saying thank you.
I gestured to Tony again and then turned to leave, and I realized that as long as I stood any longer, Tony would have to consume me until this Meng Po woke up.
I didn't take two steps when I turned around, and suddenly someone patted me on the shoulder, no, this Meng Po's snoring is still there? Who is that?
Looking back, Tony actually ran behind me again, what the hell are you trying to do?I gestured to him again for a quick walk.
Instead of leaving, Tony leaned over to me, as if to say something to me, and I turned my head to his mouth and put my ear towards his mouth.
"Brother Ye, I still want to help people. Get a haircut!"
Hearing Tony's words, I took a few steps back with my head in my hands, and looked at Tony with frightened eyes, this guy's haircutting skills are in my current style, and it will be difficult to save it when I go back to find a top Tony, and let him come with a few scissors, I will simply become a monk.
At this time, Tony in front of me didn't know when he was already looking at me with scissors in one hand and a comb in the other, and he kept saying something in his mouth.
No, I couldn't let Tony touch my hair anymore, and a thunderous snoring sound, and my eyes and Tony's eyes fell on Meng Po, who was sleeping like a dead pig.
Well, now I admit that Tony is a barber, and I'm pretty sure now that I'm the only living person in the world who has done a hairstyling for Meng Po.
After Tony's masterpiece was completed, I gave Tony a thumbs up in admiration, and it looked like Meng Po, who was more than 100 years old, was suddenly rejuvenated again under Tony's amazing skills.
Indeed, this hundred-year-old woman has changed Nezha's hairstyle, which can catch up with the virgin holding the big fairy peach next to the birthday boy with a red belly pocket.
Just when I couldn't hold back my laughter, Meng Po actually opened her eyes, and the first thing the old woman did when she opened her eyes was to take out a mirror from behind her in a daze.
"Who did this!!
At the moment when I raised my hand to Tony, 10,000 alpacas galloped past in my heart, and in the blink of an eye, there was still Tony next to Meng Po, aren't you reluctant to give up on me?
So, this ball-head, even if it's my masterpiece?
