The night is dark.

A horse-drawn carriage with a dead wind lamp was galloping on the official road in the southwest of Miao County.

The flickering and hazy candlelight reflected the two burly backs on the chariot and the shadow puppet play on the curtain, like teeth and claws, as if eager to try.

Wang Shouye's gaze stayed on one of the backs for a long time, until he confirmed that the other party's right hand was on the waist knife from beginning to end, and then he quietly took it back.

All kinds of details along the way seem to confirm his previous speculation - this midnight exorcism operation is very likely to hide the danger of leaving him with no return!

But where does this danger come from?

Is the surname Zhao trying to force himself to be bait and lure out those monsters?

Or is there some way to sacrifice and die?

Thinking of the passages in some horror novels, Wang Shouye shuddered, and even had the idea of escaping.

He pretended not to look up and looked up, and across the middle of Li Xiucai, who was lying in the middle, he saw the official Zhao Sanli sitting cross-legged, his melon-like head little by little, and it seemed that he had fallen asleep.

This guy seems to be Zhao Bantou's cousin.

Maybe......

Can you take advantage of his unpreparedness, snatch the iron ruler in his hand, and then take him hostage?

As soon as he thought of this, the carriage shook suddenly, Zhao Sanli shook his head, raised his head blankly, smacked his lips, stretched his waist, and was in high spirits.

Get~

There's no hope at this point.

The only opportunity was fleeting, and after that, Wang Shouye racked his brains and didn't come up with any practical way to get out.

After another hour or so, I felt that the carriage was slowing down.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Bantou's shouting came: "Sanli, let the boy of the Wang family get off the car with his uncle on his back, and you bring the blanket." ”

Liuli Bridge, arrived.

………………

The ditch river is said to be a river, in fact, the total is not a zhang wide, standing on the soil slopes on both sides of the bank and looking down, even the center is sparsely covered with some reeds, which shows the shallow nature of the river.

And the Liuli Bridge should be some years old, the one-eyed arch hole spans out about two zhang, leaving a large area of white land on the bank of the river, not to mention hiding a few people, even if the carriage is more than enough.

Because it was not long after the sun cleared, the soil slope was very soft and slippery, if it weren't for Ma Biao to help him, Wang Shouye might not be able to carry Li Xiucai to the river peacefully.

This made him secretly cry in his heart, with these two slippery dirt slopes as moats, how easy is it for him to get out?

said that he followed Zhao Bantou into the bridge hole, and saw that Zhao Sanli had already laid a blanket close to the river.

Wang Shouye carefully laid Li Xiucai's thin body flat on it, and just wanted to take a breath, he listened to Zhao Bantou's impatient instructions: "Wang boy, you take off your shoes and go to the water to try twice!" ”

Sure enough, he wants to use himself as cannon fodder!

Wang Shouye secretly hated in his heart, but now that he was defenseless, how could he fight three officials with big shoulders and round waists?

Coupled with the protective film as a support, the risk he took was not as great as others imagined.

Therefore, after only a little hesitation, Wang Shouye obediently took off his shoes and socks, took the lantern handed by Ma Biao, and cautiously waded into the river.

One-step, two-step, three-step......

At first, he was a little apprehensive, but when he saw that the other side was still calm, Wang Shouye was a little relieved.

"Go back!"

At this time, I heard Zhao Bantou shouting behind him.

Do you want to just flee from the other side?

This thought flashed in Wang Shouye's heart, but it was quickly forgotten by him again.

The dirt slope was already difficult to climb, and now he didn't even have a shoe for his feet in the mud, even if he barely escaped to the slope, most of them couldn't escape the encirclement and interception of Zhao Bantou and others.

Besides, there doesn't seem to be anything dangerous in the river.

With this in mind, Wang Shouye followed Zhao Bantou's command and shuttled back and forth in the river.

In about a quarter of an hour, he made a dozen rounds around the bridge, almost every body of water in the vicinity.

However, it is still the same.

Wang Shouye gradually became impatient in his heart, and when he returned to the shore, he couldn't help but want to ask when he would be able to go ashore.

But before he could speak, he saw two skinny hairy legs, and the inexplicable insignificance in them.

Wang Shouye couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "Why did you take off Li Xianggong's pants?" ”

"Take it."

What responded to him was Zhao Sanli's shouting.

Following the prestige, he saw that he had found two fishing nets out of nowhere, and was holding one of them to throw it.

Wang Shouye was stunned at first, and then rejoiced.

Looking at this posture, his cannon fodder career seems to be over - at the very least, he has also been upgraded to elite cannon fodder.

What's more, this net can barely be used as a weapon!

Pretending not to care, he took a fishing net from Zhao Sanli's hand and quietly checked it, the weight was really not light.

Now Wang Shouye's heart is getting more and more bottomed.

"Ma Biao, put my uncle's two legs into the water!"

At this time, listening to Zhao Bantou's order, Ma Biao immediately grabbed Li Xiucai's ankles, put his two hairy legs into the water, and then personally illuminated the surroundings.

Obviously, this time it was Li Xiu's turn to be the bait.

At the same time, Zhao Sanli also came up and reminded: "Keep your eyes open and look carefully, if there is anything wrong, remember to save Li Xianggong first!" ”

Wang Shouye nodded, clutched the fishing net in his hand tightly, and stood in a row with Zhao Sanli and Ma Biao, who were like facing a great enemy.

The minutes and seconds passed.

Seeing the impatience and impatience, and gradually climbed onto Zhao Bantou's black face, Ma Biao suddenly pointed to the water and exclaimed: "Look, what is that?!" ”

When everyone followed the prestige, they saw that the waves in the lower reaches of the river were suddenly rising, and the shadows seemed to be something, and they were hurrying towards this side.

It was only a few breaths of effort, and one of them broke into the lighting range of the lantern.

Looking at the general shape, it looks like a fish with a big head and a short tail.

But the black and white on the head is constantly changing under the water, but how weird it looks!

"Stop it!"

Ma Kui exclaimed, but the strange fish had already rushed to the front and swooped straight at Li Xiucai's feet!

Wow~

Wang Shouye was quick with his hands, and as soon as he went down the net, he fished up the strange fish.

In the splashing water, everyone took a closer look through the light, and saw that the strange fish was black and blue, about seven inches long [23 cm], and the head alone accounted for two-thirds, and the head was crumpled and wrinkled, and full of dark green scabies, which was really ugly to the extreme.

That's not all, from between the layers of folds, there are white and tender tentacles, originally in the water, it is fluttering, but at this time, it is dehydrated, and it hangs down completely, and the flesh is like a worm.

"Look...... Look at the fins on either side! ”

was looking carefully, and Ma Kui next to him exclaimed again.

Wang Shouye avoided the disgusting meat worm, looked at the sides of the strange fish's body, and saw that the fins were indeed a little strange.

The general fins are thin, but the left and right pectoral fins of this strange fish are chubby and thick.

But......

Isn't that as terrifying as those whiskers?

Just as he was making some contempt for Ma Kui's fuss, Wang Shouye shuddered coldly!

Because just as he was about to divert his gaze, the pectoral fin of the strange fish suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees, scratching and tearing the net pocket desperately.

At the same time, beneath the blue-black translucent shell, something inside is revealed.

Chubby trunk with five branches of different lengths......

No matter how you look at it, it's a hand, a white and tender chubby little hand!

How can there be a human hand hidden in the fins?!

Although he had expected it in his heart, Wang Shouye still couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp - what he held his soul and gnawed on yesterday should be this strange fish.

It's not as good as the flaming red lips of an eighty old lady!

"Here we go again!"

At this time, Zhao Sanli shouted violently, and the fishing net in his hand was also slapped into the water.

But he didn't anticipate the resistance when entering the water, and as a result, he was able to catch a void and let the strange fish successfully pounce on Li Xiucai's feet.

"Get out of here!"

Zhao Sanli shouted in a panic, reversed the fishing net and buckled it again, and finally caught the second strange fish.

But......

Somewhat different from the first one.

The head of this fish has significantly less whiskers.

To be precise, part of the flesh has been torn off!

The pus and blood, yellow and blue, were dripping down from the fracture, emitting an incredible stench.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and throw this thing to the shore, there are more in the back!"

At this time, Zhao Bantou roared, Wang Shouye and Zhao Sanli woke up like a dream, and hurriedly raised their arms and threw the strange fish in the net to the shore.

The two strange fish fluttered desperately when they hit the ground, and at the same time a series of 'wow, wow' cries came out of their mouths, which sounded like the cry of a baby.

Infant?

Wang Shouye's heart couldn't help but move, and secretly said that the little hand in the fin of the fish seemed to be related to the baby.

The depth of one and a half inches of water is not enough to drown a dead person, but it is enough to drown a newborn baby!

And these strange fish didn't react to others, but Li Xiucai only soaked in two legs, and they swarmed here, if there is no special reason, Wang Shouye will never believe it.

A well-known young talent, a group of strange fish suspected of being related to abandoned babies.

In between......

"Wang family boy, what are you in a daze?!"

As soon as he thought of the key point, Zhao Ban scolded behind him, but a few strange fish rushed to the front.

Wang Shouye didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly cooperated with Zhao Sanli, scooped up the strange fish one by one, and then threw them ashore.

However, those strange fish struggled desperately on the shore, and the two fins continued to open and close at 180 degrees, and they gradually had the tendency to crawl!

Seeing this, Zhao Bantou immediately crossed the ghost head knife, and aimed at those strange fish hands up and down, smashing the flesh and blood blur on the top!

The four of them worked together in this way, and in just a few moments, they eliminated seven or eight strange fish.

Seeing that there were only two or three fish left that slipped through the net, and they were still desperately wrapping around Li Xiucai's legs, Wang Shouye scooped up one of them, quietly identified the direction of Zhao Bantou, shook his hand suddenly, and smashed his head and face!
