The rice of the fishing village, I still eat it for the first time, as in Xiangxi, are mainly based on local characteristics, placed in the middle of the table, is a large pot of stewed grass carp, the milky white soup knows that it is very delicious at a glance, in addition, there are all kinds of dried fish and preserved fish, the most eye-catching, is a plate of black bean sauce whitebait, the whitebait is white and bright, it looks like transparent, mixed with Boss Teng's own tempeh, very good rice, Boss Teng said, this whitebait is a local specialty, and smiled and said let me give my grandmother some back.

Getting back to the point, after going to the dinner table, Boss Teng continued to tell us some strange things about Bao Zhuji, what hit a strange fish, saw a strange shadow, it is said that some people have seen unknown underwater monsters, in short, this Bao Zhuji has not been peaceful over the years, although no one knows whether these things are true or false, but people think that it is not an auspicious place.

As I spoke, Boss Teng's old father mentioned a past incident that caught my attention.

The old man said that there was no restraint in fishing and sand digging on Poyang Lake, and there were fish cages everywhere on the lake, which once destroyed the ecology of Poyang Lake to the extreme, and later, the government spent a lot of effort to remediate, not only clarified the cages on the lake, but also organized people to carry out a large-scale clean-up of the bottom of the lake, and cleaned up the white garbage and waste fishing nets that sank at the bottom of the lake.

However, this clean-up operation also cleaned up some strange things from the bottom of the lake, Mr. Teng said that a few volunteers who participated in the clean-up activities pulled their boats to Baozhuji, and they used a special rake to clean up the underwater garbage.

At first, these people thought they had accidentally hooked something big fish or a big snake, but when they pulled it up, several people were suddenly stupid, and it was not a fish or a snake that followed the rake up, but three skeletons in armor, and the most shocking thing was that these three skeletons were still moving.

Several people were at a loss for what to do, and in the end they could only drag the skeleton into the water, neither daring to pull it up nor letting it go, they reported to the leader who was in charge of the cleanup at the time, and the leader immediately cordoned off the scene after seeing the skeleton.

After that, the clean-up was over, and the leader took the people away, and the people who salvaged the skeletons never mentioned it.

Hearing this, before we could say anything, Boss Nateng smiled contemptuously: "Dad, do you believe this kind of thing?" Let me tell you, Uncle Cheng is bragging! ”

After the old man heard this, the fire suddenly broke out: "If you believe it, it's true, if you don't believe it, it's false, what's the matter, are you the president or the prime minister?" ”

"No, Dad, since Uncle Cheng said that he never mentioned it, why did he mention it to you? Are you president or prime minister? ”

Seeing that the two of them were gradually getting more energetic, I quickly interrupted them: "Old man, is this Uncle Cheng that Brother Teng said the same person who salvaged the skeleton back then?" ”

The old man nodded, sighed and said, "That's right, he and several people from the next village are all witnesses, but they have all passed away. ”

"Is there anything else, didn't you say that a lot of strange things were salvaged back then?"

The old man smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know about this, our family didn't have a boat at that time, and we couldn't participate in this event, I also heard these things from others." ”

Actually, since the old man mentioned the movable skeleton, I have had the heart to go to Baozhuji to find out, so the old man said that he didn't know anything else, and I wasn't disappointed, and I was thinking about how I should go into the water to find out.

Who knows that after the old man ate a few bites of fish, he seemed to suddenly remember something, he put down his chopsticks and said to me: "There is a thing I don't know if it's true, some people say that Chen Youliang killed the captives in order to borrow the Yin soldiers, saying that Chen Youliang was cornered by Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and I don't know where to find out the way, so I thought about killing all the captives, and then planned to turn the tables with the help of the Yin soldiers, but I don't know if I borrowed it later, anyway, Chen Youliang was defeated in the end, and died, no one knows if this thing is true." ”

After hearing this, I immediately looked at Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan also looked at me with a shocked face at this time, it seems that the two of us wanted to go together.

Huang Zongman is a corpse chaser, the real corpse chaser is not like me, he will only deal with dead corpses in a hurry, according to my grandmother, the most powerful ability of corpse chasers is to manipulate corpses, their corpse chasers can not only deal with the dead, but also deal with the living, I think that as long as they have that idea, it is not impossible to turn the dead into soldiers.

So I hurriedly asked, "Old man, who told you this?" ”

Without waiting for the old man to answer, Boss Teng preemptively said, "Hey, who else could it be?" My grandfather! When I was younger, he used to tell me stories about it. I said Dad, this story is not true, if you say it now, you are not afraid that Young Master He will treat you as a laughing stock? Besides, if there is really such a thing as borrowing Yin soldiers, why does our country still need these armies? ”

I said in my heart that you even believe in ghosts and gods, why did you talk about science like this at this point?

I pressed my hand at Boss Teng and said, "Don't say that, Brother Teng, our ancestors' ability is not small, although we haven't inherited it well, it doesn't mean that these things are not true, for example, what we just passed, do you think it's really a special little weather?" ”

Old Man Teng seemed to be very satisfied with my words, he pointed to his son and smiled: "Eh, Young Master He is right, our ancestors have left a lot of skills for thousands of years, but we have lost even more, you, you just don't have the knowledge of Young Master He!" ”

Boss Teng was teased by us, one old and one young, and had nothing to say, so he could only smile awkwardly.

I ate two bites of fish and thought about it, and finally took a deep breath and announced: "Brother Teng, Brother Zeng, I want to go to Baozhuji to have a look, I don't know if the two of you can help me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people at the entire dinner table, including Qiu Yan, were all stunned.

"You're crazy, He Zimu!" Qiu Yan tugged at my sleeve and scolded softly.

I took Qiu Yan's hand and ignored her, but held her hand tightly in my hand, to be honest, I was also nervous at the moment.

After a long time, Brother Zeng spoke: "Young Master He, since you commanded, then we didn't say it, I'll accompany you, but, Brother Teng, forget it, you see that he is also old and young, in case something happens, he~~~~"

Before Brother Zeng finished speaking, Brother Teng immediately stood up: "Old Zeng, if you want to say that there are old and young, and your family also has it, you also said it, Young Master He of the Jiang family commanded, we have nothing to say, go!" I'll go too! ”

Seeing the two eldest brothers so righteous, I can't help but feel warm in my heart, in today's society, just by reputation, dare to trust each other with their lives, this kind of person is too rare, and too precious!

I glanced around, at this time, all the old and young, men and women, all had a bitter face, and Brother Teng's family obviously didn't want him to go, but because of my identity, they didn't say anything.

Only Huang Yueling, Huang Yueling sat on the chair at this time, with a smile on her face, watching everything happening at the dinner table like a bystander, she didn't seem to be worried about what was about to happen at all.

I came back to my senses, motioned to Brother Teng to sit down first, then got up and said: "The two eldest brothers are so righteous, I He Zimu am really fortunate in three lives, but I may have to live up to the good intentions of the two eldest brothers, the two eldest brothers only need to give me a boat, and then take me to the neighborhood, you don't have to worry about other things, I He Zimu will do it alone!" ”

When the two eldest brothers heard this, they stopped doing it.

"No, aren't you underestimating people? Since I am here, I am the host, and Young Master He's business is my business, and I will accompany you! ”

"That is, the young master of the Jiang family has an order, my surname Zeng and my surname Teng dare not go because they are greedy for life and afraid of death, isn't this a joke, how will we mix on the Yangtze River in the future! We have to go with you! ”

"Two eldest brothers, since I am from the Jiang family, I naturally have some means, this time I am just to investigate, not to send him to death. Besides, the two of you might be able to help me at a critical time when you're out there, but if you go with me, who will save us if there's any danger? These women? Or the elderly and children? ”

After listening to my words, the two eldest brothers were silent for a moment, but after a while they quarreled again, I couldn't fight two mouths with one mouth, and for a while, the dinner table was noisy and spittle.

Finally, Huang Yueling stood up, she put her hand on my shoulder, and said with a smile: "Oh, don't fight, I'll go with He Zimu, aren't you still at ease?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huang Yueling spoke up, the two of them immediately stopped speaking as if they heard the leader's orders.

I turned my head, looked at Huang Yueling in surprise, and said, "You? You girl, don't make trouble! ”

Huang Yueling's face changed suddenly after hearing this, she grabbed my ear and twisted it, and said sharply: "You said that you are not allowed to call me a girl!" Besides, you have seen my skills on the lake just now, and I ask you, who else here can help you on the lake besides me? ”

Huang Yueling is right, although I am not sure if her ability is true, but if it is, then she can really help me.

Under Huang Yueling's gaze, I wavered, but I didn't dare to agree to her directly, after all, she was the closest person to my grandmother's side, in case anything worse, how could I go back and explain to my grandmother?

Who knew that I hadn't finished dealing with Huang Yueling's troubles, and Qiu Yan also stood up here: "I'll go too!" ”

I thought to myself, is this a good thing? Why are you still scrambling to go!

"Qiu Yan, aren't you messy enough? Don't forget, it's in the water, what can you do underwater? ”

Qiu Yan raised her head, followed Huang Yueling's appearance of calling a chicken, and said with some pride: "Don't forget, I grew up by the sea, and in the water, neither of you is familiar with me!" ”

In desperation, I had to put aside the question of who went and who didn't, and instead discussed the specific details of the launch with them, and finally, we came up with a preliminary plan:

Because Brother Teng's boat is much bigger than Brother Zeng's, he took the big boat to guard the outermost, and Brother Zeng drove a small boat to take us into Baozhuji, Qiu Yan stayed on Brother Zeng's boat to be responsible for liaison, and Huang Yueling and I went into the water.

There is a rope between the person who launches the water and the boat, and there is also a rope between the boat and the big boat, and once something happens, the boat tows people, and the big boat tows the boat, and takes us out of the dangerous place.

Although Qiu Yan insisted on following me into the water, she finally had to agree at my insistence.
