Chapter 230: Underwater Ancient City (6)

Tang An knew that he couldn't comfort Uncle Hei, and he didn't need the comfort of others, no one could regenerate Uncle Hei's soul through words or things like chicken soup for the soul.

Tang An looked at the quiet waters in front of him, who would have thought that what kind of mystery was hidden under this famous waters?

In addition to water ghosts, are there any other secrets under Baidao Lake?

Tang An is full of curiosity, but he will not spend his life studying this water area like Uncle Hei, for him, there are too many things in his life that he looks forward to more than satisfying his curiosity.

He is just a passer-by of Baidao Lake, just a listener of Uncle Hei's experience, maybe after suddenly knowing what happened to Baidao Lake one day, he has some different opinions from the official or the people, but that's all, he will never be the one who reveals the truth behind those things.

I am a person who hides many secrets, so I am not suitable to be a person who reveals secrets.

Tang An couldn't help but think of Lin Yuling, who knew his secret, looked at his phone, and put Lin Yuling's number out of the blacklist, and then realized that there was no point in doing so, because on this island, there was no signal at all.

"It's very strange on this island, basically there is only a signal in the morning, and in the afternoon and evening, whether you are mobile or China Unicom, there is no signal. Uncle Hei glanced at Tang An's mobile phone and said lightly.

It doesn't matter, Tang An is not the kind of person who is restless for a day without the Internet.

"Uncle Hei, you should have also checked on the Internet, water ghosts don't seem to be unique to Baidao Lake, many other places, especially some places with deep pools and Daze, have legends of water ghosts. Tang An continued the original topic and asked, although he would not particularly explore the water ghost in order to satisfy his curiosity, but he definitely still wanted to know something, if Uncle Hei was willing to answer, it would be the best.

"The water ghosts in other places may really be just water monsters, some creatures that humans are not very familiar with, or just some deformed or mutated, or rare animals. Uncle Hei's tone seemed to have become a little gloomy, "But the water ghosts of Baidao Lake are different, they are really related to ghosts." โ€

Tang An felt a chill in Uncle Hei's tone, even though it was this sunny daylight, it seemed that the water ghost would suddenly jump out.

"If the water ghost wants to say that it is an unknown creature such as a water monster, it can still be understood, and it has something to do with ghosts? Uncle Hei, what kind of relationship do you mean?" Tang An didn't understand very much, because what Uncle Hei said was related to "ghosts", but obviously pointed out that "water ghosts" were not "ghosts" in the general sense.

Uncle Hei glanced at Tang An's mobile phone, turned his head to look at the water on the side, there was a large empty body of water, which was a rare place in the entire Baidao Lake where there were no islands, and it seemed that all the islands had been dispersed to the surrounding area.

"When you come to Baidao Lake to travel, you should also know the most basic history of Baidao Lake, Baidao Lake is a large lake formed by artificiality, which has only a history of a few decades, and before that there were two towns here, the left of Anjiang is the Lion City, and the right of Anjiang is the Tiger City, which is the Lion Tiger City. "Uncle Hei has lived here for many years, and of course he is very clear about the history of Baidao Lake, which is also the history that almost everyone who comes to Baidao Lake will know.

"Is the formation of the water ghost related to the flooding of the city and the creation of a lake this time?" Tang An knew that Uncle Hei would definitely not be unprovoked, so he changed the topic and talked about unrelated historical events.

Uncle Hei nodded.

Tang An was surprised again, he hadn't thought that the water ghost would have anything to do with flooding the city and creating a lake this time, but now that he thought about it, the water ghost would never be made out of nothing...... What's more, before the Lion City and Tiger City were still towns, there was an An River here, but at that time, the water ghosts were not always active in the streets and alleys of the Lion City and Tiger City, or did they live in the An River before?

"The Lion City and Tiger City has always been an important town, prosperous business, smooth waterways, in the first days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Lion City and Tiger City also bear the heavy responsibility of the province's transit logistics, but compared with the local development, the construction of national planning is more important, so to sacrifice the Lion City and Tiger City, at that time it was also a last resort, and the people at that time for the country's policy to support more, although there are many people who are not willing to leave their hometowns, but at that time, the environment, the mainstream is still everyone to work together to carry out construction, there will not be too many people dare to drag their feet, so the matter of flooding the city and building the lake was finalizedใ€‚ Uncle Hei smiled, "I wasn't born at that time, and I also heard from others...... There are still some old people living on Baidao Lake, and they know very well what the Lion City and Tiger City looked like at that time, and it is said that many of the rich people in the Lion City and Tiger City had bicycles at home. โ€

In those days, there were bicycles, no less than driving a luxury car with a BBA now.

"In this case, there should be no water ghosts in the Anjiang River that passed through Lion Tiger City at that time, right?" Tang An said uncertainly.

"Of course not. Uncle Hei shook his head, "How could there be?" I talked to the old people in Lion Tiger City who are still alive now, and they don't remember the story of any water ghosts in Lion Tiger City at that time. According to my investigation, the ghost legend related to water in the neighborhood is the story of the snake spirit flooding tower in Xu Baizhou. โ€

"It's certain that the water ghosts only appeared after the flooding of the city and the creation of the lake. When did the water ghost appear at the earliest, Uncle Hei, you should have also inquired. Tang An listened carefully to Uncle Hei's narration, Bai Yunxuan and Zhang Yuying were also very happy fishing over there, although neither of them caught one, but as long as there was a fish to bite their hooks, they seemed to be very happy.

"In the tenth year after Yancheng built the lake, Baidao Lake had been basically finalized and the hydropower station had been put into operation. It turned out that in addition to some of the residents of Lion Tiger City who moved away, many of them still lived near Baidao Lake, which is the location of today's Baidao Lake Town, and there were no regulations prohibiting swimming at that time, and many people would take their children to play by the lake in the summer. The legend of the water ghost appeared at this time, and it is also said that the water ghost dragged the swimmer into the water. Uncle Hei said, glanced back, and saw that the couple seemed to be in the water, playing in the water by the lake.

Tang An also saw it, originally thought that Uncle Hei would open his mouth to organize, but he didn't expect Uncle Hei to turn a blind eye and just continue to talk about the water ghost.

That's right, for so many years, there have only been legends, and the thing of water ghosts pulling people should not happen often, and suddenly tell others to be careful of being put into the water, and there are water ghosts in the water, but I am afraid that no one will believe it, and it will be regarded as a neurosis.

"This kind of big lake always drowns a few people in the summer, and this is the case with any body of water, and every time someone drowns, some people say that it is dragged down by water spirits. Some are true, some are false, and no one believes them over the years. Uncle Hei stretched out a few fingers and nodded, "Those who don't see people alive and dead and don't see corpses are probably really dragged into the water by water ghosts and eaten, as for those who later found the corpses and said that they did it to the water ghosts, you just wronged these water ghosts, how could they let go of the meat in their mouths?"

Uncle Hei sneered, but Tang An felt how sad Uncle Hei was in this kind of sneer, who could accept that his wife and children were cruelly bitten and devoured by these things, and there were no bones left?

"In short, it is certain that the water ghosts were indeed formed after the flooding of the city and the creation of the lake. As for whether he came from other waters or was born in Qiandao Lake, I prefer the latter. Uncle Hei narrowed his eyes, "I've been researching this aspect of things, although it can't be restored, but this kind of mysterious thing is only reasonable, and it is difficult to get specific evidence." โ€

At this moment, there was a sudden scream from behind Tang An and Uncle Hei.

"Help...... Save me......

It was the girl's scream, it seemed to be the couple, accompanied by the man's shouting, Tang An hurriedly turned around and found that the girl was struggling in the water, although it was a shallow area, she was lying in the water, as if something was desperately pulling her, and the boy grabbed the girl's hands tightly, but it seemed that he couldn't do it.

Bai Yunxuan hadn't reacted yet, but Zhang Yuying had already dropped the fishing rod, Tang An hurriedly took a vertical step, ran over, jumped to the girl's side with a splash, and hugged the girl's thigh tightly.

The water was muddy, and something under the water splashed into a large circle of water around him, Tang An's eyes widened, and it was vaguely visible that a black adult-sized thing was grabbing the girl's feet.

"Water ghosts!"

Tang An suddenly realized what was this, and immediately decided, without hesitation, he took out the handsaw from his pocket, stretched it into the water, and sawed it heavily towards the fluffy claws!

Rao is water ghost has thick skin and thick meat, and he can't eat it for a while, and suddenly some black liquid sprayed out of the water, completely blocking Tang An's vision, Tang An used another force, the water ghost seemed to have let go of the girl's feet, Tang An picked up the person from the water and ran to the shore of the lake.

After the girl was saved, she hugged Tang An and cried, everyone was also shocked and panicked, what was it under the water just now?

Tang An...... What is that?" Bai Yunxuan was the first to ask, and she didn't know who to ask, but the calmest person here was Tang An, Bai Yunxuan clearly saw that the thing under the water was cut by Tang An just now, and quickly fled, leaving an incredibly fast black shadow in the water.

"It seems that some big fish bit her foot, right?" Zhang Yuying guessed, but she was not very flustered, after all, it happened to someone who had nothing to do with her group. What's more, Tang An bravely saved people, and he also used a small saw given by Zhang Yuying, which made Zhang Yuying a little proud.

"I don't know...... What is that......" The girl still hugged Tang An, still crying in her voice.

"Probably something. Tang An said vaguely, he didn't see the thing clearly, the water surface was completely muddy at that time, and the thing didn't surface, although he concluded that the thing was a water ghost, but as Uncle Hei said, there was no real evidence.

Zhao Ting...... I ......" The boy was still a little embarrassed and afraid, standing next to Tang An, wanting to hug his girlfriend, but the girl hugged Tang An and didn't let go.

This girl was only wearing a bikini, Tang An patted her on the back and comforted: "It's okay, you're safe." โ€

The girl raised her head at this time, let go of Tang An with some embarrassment, and then was taken into her arms by her boyfriend.

"Don't go into the water anymore, it seems that not being allowed to go into the water is not only for the sake of protecting the water, but also for the sake of danger. Tang An admonished.

"That thing's blood is actually black!" Zhang Yuying said, pointing to some of the dark water that still remained.

Tang An felt that he should ask Uncle Hei about this, and when he turned around, he found that Uncle Hei was still standing in that position, just looking at this side, and he didn't mean to come over, that look was ...... For no reason, Tang An's head tightened, and he turned out to be a little regretful.

At this time, Uncle Hei came over again, Tang An looked at it again, but Uncle Hei's expression was very serious, could it be that he was wrong just now?

"Uncle Hei, was it a water ghost just now?" Tang An asked, only Uncle Hei could be sure and make a judgment based on the clues in front of him.

Uncle Hei nodded, "Yes, there is only one, if there are a few more, a few people will not be able to pull it...... It's good you just let it hurt, right?"

"I cut it with a handsaw. Tang An said.

Bai Yunxuan looked at the handsaw, and thought about it carefully, didn't Tang An see this handsaw in Brother Hei's shop? Bai Yunxuan also saw it at that time, but Tang An didn't seem to like it, why did he buy it again? I didn't see Tang An go to check out when I checked out, Tang An wouldn't have stolen it.

"Fortunately, it was a handsaw that could hurt it, and the water ghost's fur was very slippery, and it would slip away when an ordinary knife cut it. Uncle Hei said.

"The water ghosts you are talking about...... What is a water ghost?" the boy hugged his girlfriend with palpitations, and now he was even more frightened, and he actually heard such a mysterious thing as a "water ghost"!
