Chapter 41: Ghost River Demon Fire

I contacted the old snake's previous weirdness, and then savored his words, I felt that the cat of this river was too big. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I was not in a hurry to suggest that everyone go on the raft, but leaned over to the old snake and asked, "What else is wrong?" ”

The old snake touched his bosom and took out the map. Before we set off, the brown paper of this map was still ninety percent new, and now it looks tattered, and even a little soft, and there is a piece of paper, which also shows that the old snake has just studied the map.

He spread out the map and looked at it, and then looked at the river in front of him, saying that when he received the map, his superiors had mentioned to him that the river was not very peaceful, but so far, he couldn't figure out how strange this river was.

Ah Yi and Ah Bing didn't think too much, Ah Yi also answered: "Brother Snake, the speed of this river is very fast, if you want me to see, the danger lies here." ”

The old snake shook his head, indicating that he disagreed.

I, Beard, and Davara took the opportunity to communicate, and of course I thought that Ah Yi had made it easy to talk about it, but for a while, I couldn't think of any valuable proposals.

Kelsang Nyima also approached the river, picked up his stone axe, and slashed at the surface of the river a few times. The surface of the river was only a few splashes. Kelsang Nyima shouted to us, "This river is fine. ”

We can't just keep it that way. Soon after, the old snake put away the map, which means, in that case, let's be careful, let's go down the river and take the waterway first. In addition, he felt that we were too slow to be pushed by the current of the raft just by riding the raft. He also suggested that everyone go boating.

We didn't have oars, and even with the folding knife fully extended, it was too thin to be used for paddling. But Ah Yi and Ah Bing rummaged through their backpacks and found three folding shovels inside. Ah Yi opened the shovel, tried to fiddle with it a few times, and nodded and said okay.

I thought that he and Ah Bing would take the initiative to take on the paddling work, but who knew that Ah Yi's face tensed, and he handed over the folding shovel and let me, Hu Zi and Kelsang Nyima be laborers.

Beard and I immediately objected, and Beard asked, "Why?" ”

Ah Yi explained: "We are walking at night, Brother Snake will use night vision devices to observe the waters in front of us to make sure there are no reefs or the like, and Ah Bing and I, we both have to hold guns and always be on guard against danger, as for this girl......" He pointed to Dawala, "She is a woman, we are a group of gentlemen, how can there be a reason to call women, so I let you all work hard to paddle." ”

Beard snorted and said, "Xiao Bo and I can also use guns, so don't talk about guns or not." ”

I took advantage of the time to calculate in my heart, this river is very long, if I and Beard have been paddling together, when we have walked the waterway, our arms will be sore.

I let the beard be the first bird, but I also cooperated with the beard and also stiffened my face to disagree.

Ah Yi argued with the beard because of this, and Ah Yi still had small movements in his hands, always taking turns folding the shovel from time to time.

Ah Bing didn't like to talk much, but after the atmosphere was a little stiff, he pointed to Kelsang Nyima and emphasized to me and Huzi, "The local people have agreed, what are you two picky?" ”

I know that he wants to tear a hole from Kelsang Nyima, and once Kelsang Nyima agrees, I and the beard will undoubtedly be suppressed in momentum.

I looked at Kelsang Nyima, and even winked at him, which meant that he should bite his mouth and not agree.

Gesang Nyima kept staring, and took out a bystander posture to watch our group of immortals "fighting". At this time, when he was in the center of attention, he scratched his head and said that it was not impossible to let him paddle.

Ah Yi grinned and praised Kelsang Nyima for being a gentleman, and then he took all three folding shovels and handed them to me and Huzi.

But Kelsang Nyima didn't say a word, and he insisted that if he was allowed to paddle, there had to be a reward, and he wanted the tools he had just sawed the tree.

He was referring to the wire saw. Ah Yi immediately put away his smile after hearing this, and couldn't help but scold again: "You dirt bun dare to open your mouth with Lao Tzu Lion and let you row a boat, how big is it?" Do you know how much that special wire saw costs? ”

Kelsang Nyima didn't care what Ah Yi said, and he also emphasized it very seriously, saying that with that tool, his village could get a lot of tree trunks, so that he could make a big wooden house, and he would not have to live in a grass house in the future.

My heart shook, and I also felt that Kelsang Nyima was a good leader, at least all the time, he thought about the village.

Ah Yi has no feelings for the village, and he doesn't feel anything after listening to it. He continued to shake his head, disagreeing with Kelsang Nyima's request.

But Beard and I looked at each other, and we compromised. It's just that I also put forward a condition, if we let the two of us paddle, Ah Yi will have to take out two wire saws as a reward for Kelsang Nyima.

The old snake agreed on behalf of Ah Yi. Ah Yi was still reluctant, and finally took out the wire saw.

We came to the raft one after another, and the three of the old snakes were in the front, one in front and two in the back, Dawala was in the center, and me, Beard and Kelsang Nyima were squatting at the back. We each had a folding shovel.

I gave it a try, and with this shovel paddling, the speed of the raft was much faster, and even more optimistic than I expected.

Let's go. The old snake spread the map on the raft, and he took out a small device from his backpack, which was similar to the night vision goggles that Davara had brought, but it had two observation glasses, and it could be hung in front of his eyes like glasses. In this way, it is a little more advanced than the one with Dawara's thumb.

Davara had been observing her surroundings, and she had done a brief test of the speed of the raft, and according to her conclusion, we were about fifteen miles per hour.

I made another mental estimate, this river leads directly to the forbidden area, and if we maintain this speed, we will be there before dawn. If it goes well, maybe you can find the Gu King tomorrow. I have to admire the efficiency of the plan that the three of them have come up with.

In this way, we traveled by water for less than two hours. During this period, the river was calm and there was no miasma on the river.

Beard breathed a sigh of relief first, and chattered to everyone, which meant that we made a fuss.

Of course, other people can't keep holding the strings, and gradually, Ah Yi and Ah Bing don't keep holding their guns, and the two of them have been squatting for a long time, and they are even more tired. They didn't like the raft to get wet, and sat on it.

The old snake just changed his position and knelt on one leg instead, but he still observed through his night vision device.

I have only been in contact with Ah Yi for a short time, and I have the impression that he is a violent temper, but I didn't expect this guy to have a bit of a grumpy stomach.

He was bored, and he chatted with everyone about meat jokes. Except for Dawala, everyone else is a man, of course, there is not so much resistance to meat jokes, especially Kelsang Nyima, his eyes are round when he listens, think about it, his village usually lives a monotonous life, and has been hovering on the edge of food and clothing, how can anyone have the energy to study this kind of joke?

Gesang Nyima couldn't help but applaud, and finally made an evaluation of Ah Yi, saying that Ah Yi must be the most literate among the immortals.

Ah Yi's impression of Kelsang Nyima has changed greatly, but Dawala Thumb can't help but sneer at Ah Yi, and Ah Yi's impression of Davara Thumb is much worse.

Beard and I weren't too involved, more of a listener. But these paragraphs also relieved a lot of boredom for the two of us in the paddling.

This time, when Ah Yi talked about the past of Lao Wang next door, the old snake coughed a few times and suddenly reminded everyone, "Something is wrong with the river ahead, give Lao Tzu a serious point." ”

We immediately put aside the meat jokes, and Ah Yi and Ah Bing also stood up with their guns raised.

I slowed down my stroke with my beard and looked forward.

In the distance, there was a red glow on the river, which looked like fire, but it also felt like it was reflected in the river.

The beard snorted and said, "How?" Can water still catch fire? ”

No one answered him. The old snake gave an order to me, Beard and Kelsang Nyima, to stop paddling, to slow down the raft and get closer a little.

Actually, before he said it, I had given similar tips to Beard and Kelsang Nyima.

The raft was pushed by the current, and it took about a cigarette to get close to weirdness. But it's also that we get closer, and we see it more clearly.

It's not fire, there is a group of fish in the river, they are not affected by the current, they are in a relatively static state, suspended in the river, as for the red light, it is all emitted from this group of fish.

I suspect their scales say anything, and they're probably sleeping in the river.

The old snake stared at the fish as he made a disal-alarm gesture to us. I also said to Beard and Kelsang Nyima to keep them paddling.

Ah Yi and Ah Bing muttered a few words, presumably related to fish, while Dawala frowned and asked Gesang Nyima, "Have you ever seen this kind of fish before?" ”

Kelsang Nyima shook his head, saying that their village was too far away from the river, and he rarely went to the river and didn't eat fish, so he didn't have any impression of the fish.

Davara got up, leaned down to the edge of the raft, and knelt on it, hunched over to get a closer look.

The beard thought that Davara was interested in this strange fish again, so he said to Davara, "Sisters, don't make a mess, especially don't fall into the river by mistake, Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, and I will promise to catch a fish for you." ”

The old snake suddenly turned his head to look at his beard, as if he wanted to say something, but he coughed, and before he could say it, he turned back again.

When the raft came to the top of the fish, the beard really did what he said. He set the folding spatula aside and unfolded the folding knife again.

He used his knife as a harpoon and slammed it at the water.

In order to solve the case, Hu Zi and I used to be fishing slaves, and we also did similar work at that time, so Hu Zi was quite experienced and accurate in this knife.

When he retracted the folding knife again, there was a red fish stuck in the tip of the knife.

In fact, this fish is not only red, but also has a colorful feeling on its body. The fish was also struggling to die, twisting its tail desperately.

Beard stared at the fish, smacked a few times, and said to us, "Is this a fucking goldfish?" ”

I don't think it's impossible, because goldfish is a variant of crucian carp, and it is also a freshwater fish, so it can easily survive in the river, but the problem is that there are no natural goldfish in the wild, and this fish is more likely to be deliberately raised in the water.

I had a bad instinct, and I mentioned it to everyone.

The beard lifted the fish up to make it easier for everyone to see. Before anyone could answer, the fish made a move that almost scared us to death. (To be continued.) )
