Chapter 38: A Little Story (4)
I'm sure I really haven't seen anything, and I don't know if anyone hasn't come yet or if this Taoist priest is teasing me.
Just as I was about to sneak my way out again, I caught a glimpse of a bright spot growing in size not far ahead.
Is it a fish lantern hanging on a boat at night?
When I saw the fish lantern, the man who was driving the boat jumped up.
"Senior brother, I'm a little late." The man who drove the boat stood respectfully in front of Daoist Wang, and he was also dressed as a Taoist priest.
Daoist Wang bowed slightly, stared at the little Taoist priest and the small fishing boat for a long time, and asked, "Has this piece been completely submerged?" ”
"Yes, it's basically completely submerged, the village is on high ground, and it's estimated that it's about the same now, shall we go?"
"Let's go, by the way, take him with you." Daoist Wang pointed his hand at me.
"Him?" The little Taoist priest looked at me, and inexplicably showed a sudden realization expression, and then wanted to come forward and pull me.
"Hey, I didn't say I'd go with you." Only then did I react and retreat again and again.
"Senior brother, what is he?" The little Taoist priest turned his head curiously to look at his senior brother.
Daoist Wang sighed and walked over: "If you don't go, you can't go, you can't do it......"
"What do you want to do? Don't lean on you—" Before I could finish my sentence, I was knocked unconscious by his sudden attack......
……
"Awake?"
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw Wang Daoist squatting in front of me, and when he saw that I had opened my eyes, he pulled me up without saying a word.
By this time the east was almost white, and I settled down and found myself on top of a fishing boat.
I panicked and had the feeling that I had been kidnapped: "Here? Where are we?"
"Can't you see it? Above the Yellow River. Daoist Wang replied lightly.
"What? You crossed the Yellow River with this small fishing boat? You are crazy?! I stood up with a scream, and suddenly realized something, "No, what about my family, what about my family?" ”
"Where's your house?" The little Taoist priest who was rowing in front of him turned his head and sneered, "This place is at least more than 50 kilometers away from your home, and besides, your home has been covered by the Yellow River, and now it should be part of the Yellow River." ”
"Hey, why are you talking in that tone? It's none of your business here, just row well. Wang Daoist scolded, and then turned to me and said, "I'm sorry, he's like this, that, if you can't accept it for a while, why don't you follow us to a place-"
I didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so I interrupted him directly: "Can I refuse, I just want to find a place to live in peace and stability now." And then......" I said through gritted teeth, "I will find those who have destroyed my village and seek revenge on them!" ”
"Follow us, and I can help you find the people who ruined your village. As for revenge, that's your business, and I don't care. However, I would like to remind you that what happened to your village was predestined, and even if they didn't, the village would be destroyed. ”
"You fart!" I scolded angrily, "It's just an ordinary small village by the Yellow River outside, how can it be destroyed if you live peacefully and securely on the Yellow River." It's you...... When those people came, everything changed...... It's all changed! ”
Daoist Wang silently listened to me venting my anger and scolding here, and when I was tired of scolding and couldn't speak, he sighed: "I can understand your current mood, you can rest well, if nothing happens, we can get there tonight." ”
"I'm not going, and I'm not going with you. So we went our separate ways and went our separate ways. But thank you for saving me. I refused, and stood up. Walked up to the chest of gold, found a rope, and tied the box to his back.
After doing all this, I jumped into the Yellow River under the gaze of Daoist Wang.
I have been swimming in the Yellow River since I was a child, and even when I get to this strange place, I am confident that I can swim to the other side.
However, I don't know why, I should have been able to swim very smoothly on weekdays, but I couldn't breathe a little before I swam a few dozen meters down today.
I didn't pay much attention to it, I just thought it was because I was carrying a box of gold.
As a result, when I swam to the center of the Yellow River, my body sank, and I sank for no reason, choking on several mouthfuls of water.
What the hell, how do you always encounter strange things these two days.
I cursed inwardly as I regained my position, trying to resurface.
As a result, instead of sending me to the surface of the river, it made me sink deeper.
Seeing the remaining air in his lungs under the blessing of this pressure, he desperately wanted to escape. I was so hard at heart that I used an extremely dangerous position, and my legs kicked down desperately.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and my face finally surfaced. I took advantage of this moment to quickly change my breath.
The next second, as I expected, I sank to the bottom again.
In fact, I noticed it before, not because I was lacking in strength, but because something was pulling me down from under the Yellow River.
I came across the nightmare of the Yellow River people - the Yellow River water ghost!
When you meet a water ghost, you will die for a lifetime. No matter how good I am in the water, it will be difficult to escape...... Now, I'm just asking for more kickbacks from the Grim Reaper.
Seeing that the air in my lungs was ready to run out again, I had to continue to adjust my position, trying to kick again to bring my head to the surface.
However, this time I didn't have the same luck as before, and I hadn't kicked my feet yet, and my feet were already entangled in something unknown.
I looked down, but I didn't see anything. But my feet still felt like they were being bound.
At this time, the sky was thundering, and I could perceive that there would be a downpour in a moment.
It's just that after thinking about it for a while, I'm dragged down a little bit. One didn't react, I couldn't help it, and opened my mouth.
In an instant, the water of the Yellow River poured in. I quickly shut my mouth again.
As a result, I was completely panicked. Legs and feet began to move unconsciously.
You must know that in the water, the most afraid is to shake like this! Sure enough, I immediately sank a little more.
Moreover, because of such a panic, my mouth, which had been closed with great difficulty, fell again because of the pressure from my lungs and the outside world.
The water of the Yellow River poured in happily.
I struggled with a "woo-woo". But no matter how much I move, it will only speed up the sinking.
Those who are targeted by water ghosts are the ones who can escape.
Apparently...... I'm not......
"You're such a nuisance, you jumped off before we were done."
On the surface of the river, a pair of strong hands came deep and grabbed me firmly. Dragged me out before I was about to lose consciousness......
"Damn, ...... breathe in the fresh air again, greedily enjoying this moment.
"What do you see underwater?"
Daoist Wang walked over and asked me while looking at the river with his head deeply.
"Water ghost, when the dam collapsed, these things ran out."
"Well, then...... I'm sorry. Daoist Wang smiled.
I was still gasping for breath, and before I could regain consciousness, I heard him say this.
The next second, I "plopped" again and fell into the Yellow River......
"Hey, what the hell!" I closed my eyes and cursed, subconsciously adjusting my posture, and when I felt like I was floating on the water, I opened my eyes suddenly. I saw a grinning grimace glaring at me in front of me......
