After nearly 10 hours of turbulence on the sea, I stepped on the soft sand at this time, and I only felt that my feet were fluttering and my legs could not support my body.

Several of us supported each other and walked quite awkwardly. The sailors, who had been begging for a living on the water all year round, were not surprised, and quickly parked their boats, and unloaded from them a large tin box full of two men and one man wide, and the boxes were wrapped around and around with chains, as if they were locked with something terrible.

I immediately thought of the Captain of the Boat's daughter, the man-eating monster.

The boat boss glared at me viciously, as if he minded me staring at his box.

What the hell are they doing on this island? How could the captain of the ship have such a daughter? There are so many secrets hidden on this voyage that I don't know what they will do with us, and I was in a state of confusion for a while.

He Shen suddenly whispered to me: "In the past, when I was in the court, I heard the governor of Liangguang talk about the strange stories along the coast, and one of them was very similar to the island we have landed on now. ”

"Aren't you? You're about to start a science ghost story?"

He Shen slapped me, meaning to tell me not to mess around, and continued: "Think about that thing under the cockpit, since we got on the boat, is there a normal thing? Some things can't be explained according to common sense, otherwise Wang Xianren would have starved to death." ”

He has some truth in saying this.

"And what kind of anecdote you're trying to talk about?"

"During the Qianlong period, several ships that came to pay tribute disappeared one after another, and the emperor issued a holy decree and ordered the governor of Liangguang to go out to sea to find the missing tribute ships. ”

Not only did he send out military boats, but he also posted bounty notices, recruited civilian boats, and mobilized coastal fishermen to participate in the search. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and an old fisherman with great prestige in the local area really organized more than a dozen descendants to go to sea together, wanting to rely on his ability to make the sea, and earn the silver reward of the white flowers into his pocket. ”

"After searching for more than ten days, the tribute boat was not found, but it encountered a storm, and the old fisherman did not know how many times he was involved in danger in his life, so he immediately ordered the whole ship to speed up and pass through the storm as soon as possible, just like our voyage today. ”

Unexpectedly, the storm seemed to have eyes, and chased them for 5 days, and the old fishermen were frightened, so they hurriedly prepared a tribute, invited a statue of the sea witch worshiped by the locals, prayed sincerely, and threw all the tributes into the sea. This trick really worked, and the next evening, their ship discovered a small island. ”

"This island is also strange, no matter how strong the wind and waves, the surroundings of the island are surprisingly calm, and there is even a small patch of sunlight that can penetrate the dark clouds during the day, which shines right on the island. The island is like a blind spot in a storm. ”

Everyone followed the fisherman to the island to explore, and found that there was a hidden cave on the island, and there was a beautiful woman in the cave who had just woken up, and two clever little girls were combing the woman's hair, and the woman's dress danced without wind, and she only thought that it was a fairy descending to earth. The old fisherman hurriedly led everyone to kowtow and thank them, thanking the gods for their protection, and asking the gods to show them a way out of the storm. ”

Unexpectedly, this fairy was a bargaining person, and asked these fishermen to help her do something when they went back, so she kept everyone safe, and everyone went home eagerly, so they agreed to the fairy's request. ”

They sailed according to the guidance of the gods, and sure enough, the storm gradually decreased, and after another day, they sailed out of the storm, and the sky was clear, only to find that it was only a day's voyage from the shore. ”

Everyone was glad that they had picked up a life, and they didn't know how the gods wanted them to repay their wishes, thinking that the fishermen had not fulfilled their promise when they returned, and that a year later, the really terrible thing had just begun. ”

"Overnight, a fisherman's whole family died tragically, and seven people died in a daze on the beach opposite the village, their limbs were eaten by something, and only their head and body were left with bubbles, just like ......."

Speaking of this, He Shen glanced at the big iron box that the sailors carried at the front, lowered his voice a little, and said, "Like the daughter of the ship boss." ”

I listened to it with white hair and sweat all over my neck, let alone in this environment, even if I turned off the lights at night and let someone tell me a ghost story, I couldn't stand it.

"That'...... Are all the fishermen who went out to sea dead?" I asked.

"Every 7 days, a family died tragically in the same place, the local government sent the best head catcher to handle the case, the shop head is also a hard-working, since everyone died on the same beach, he sent people to squat on the shore at night. Another 7 days passed, and the people he sent out this night really didn't dare to blink. The night was calm, but nothing happened, but just when the sun was outcropping, a big wave broke away a thin piece of sand on the shore, and by the early morning sun, I quickly took a closer look, and under the piece of sand that was washed away, another family of 5 died here. ”

The government was helpless, and soon word spread that the dead had angered the sea witch, and that their souls were detained and suffered, and their hands and feet were taken to work to pay off the debts they had owed. The 16 fishermen who are still alive are terrified by the rumors, and no one knows if the doom of dying in seven days will come their way. ”

The old fisherman was also a fierce character, and he was determined to make a last stand, and he would not sit idly by, so he led 15 fishermen to sea again to find the original island. Their plan is to find the woman in the cave, whether she is a demon or a god, paste the yellow charm given by the half-immortal in the village, first use a knife and stick, and then set fire to it, as long as the woman is killed, she will no longer be able to use witchcraft to harm people's lives. ”

"Did they succeed then?" I interjected.

He Shen said regretfully: "I also heard by chance that their experience of going to sea again is unknown, only that the old fisherman came back in the end, and the rest of the fishermen and their families are all missing. ”

"The old fisherman is in a very bad situation, and first of all, he has come back very strangely. It was also at dawn one day that the old fisherman was found lying on the dead man's beach, unlike the previous dead man, he only had one arm and one leg left, and the man was extremely weak, only a little heat in his chest remained, and there was still a small piece of good ginseng in his mouth, if it weren't for this small piece of ginseng hanging on his breath, he would have gone to see the dragon king a long time ago. ”

After Lieutenant Lang rescued him, he only said two words: retribution. After that, he was dumb and never said a word again. The old fisherman was raised for a while, and when he was able to go to the field, he left the fishing village alone, and he was alone without a wife or children, and no one knows where he went, or how old he lived. ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "If it was true back then, and then suppose we are on the same island now, why did the boat boss come here?"

Zhao Gao, who had been listening with his ears stretched out, suddenly interjected: "I think he is here to repay his wishes." ”
