On the boat, Li Mo smelled a familiar smell, as if it was the smell of some kind of meat, but just now he clearly saw that the middle-aged man threw it into the water was steamed buns, how could there be such a smell?

Without thinking much or asking, Li Mo sat straight on the bow of the boat and looked around.

The man in the prime of life, who was very familiar with this water, planned to take the big coffin across the river in the dark by the faint moonlight.

At first, there was nothing wrong, the water was calm, just a little dark, the sight was a little bad, and the boat was not as fast as it was during the day.

But when the boat reached the middle of the river, something strange happened.

First, the water crackled and the whole river was like boiling water.

This happens all the time. People who are boating used to hear it during the day, and if you hear it in the middle of the river, you can see a lot of fish gathered together, and there is no obstacle to boating. They called this phenomenon the "River King's Commander", saying that the River King wanted to fight the water beasts and count the recruits in the river.

This has happened in many places, but no one can explain why.

Hearing the sound of water, the middle-aged man knew that it was the river king's general, because this kind of thing was harmless to the boat, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But after a while, something even stranger happened, and from the large coffin came the sound of nails scraping the planks, sizzling and rattling, and it sounded very oozing on the dark water.

As soon as they heard this voice, Li Moyi and Liu Dayi immediately paid attention, in their business, corresponding to the sound of the happy whistle, this nail sound has a special meaning, made by midges, indicating that the demon is nearby.

In the crackling of the water in the river, the sound of nails was sharp, as if the dead body in the coffin was about to rush out.

The man in the prime of life was so frightened that his face turned gray, and he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with one hand.

The old man sat by the coffin, and when he heard the sound of grasping something on the coffin board, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry anymore. Cowering in the stern of the boat, trembling all over.

The man in the prime of life tried to give some comfort to the old man by emboldening some of his guests, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his upper and lower teeth had been knocked against each other, and the base of his tongue was hard, and he could not speak at all.

In the end, the man in the prime of life held back a sentence to prepare everyone, and although he was afraid, he did not lose his mind. He knew that if he brought the boat to shore, several of them and the old man would have a chance of survival.

The river was dark, and the sound of scratching was always coming to his ears, and the terrible atmosphere was spreading so that the man in the prime of life could not think of anything else at all, but tried to paddle as best he could.

I don't know how long the man in the prime of life has been rowing, but finally a faint light appeared in front of them. It comes from a village on the banks of the river.

Looking at the small flame in the distance, the middle-aged man felt relieved. He felt like he was almost on shore. At that moment, the old man in the stern of the boat shouted in horror: "Changfubo, Changfubo, ship...... The boat is leaking. ”

When the man in the prime of life heard the news, his face turned pale with fright. He just insisted on rowing, not paying attention to the situation on the boat. He quickly looked down and saw that the water on the boat had soaked his shoes.

The man in the prime of life knew that the ship was leaking, and he panicked.

The sound grasped the coffin faster and faster, like the dead body trying to break through the coffin, and this time there was movement on the surface of the river, and the boat rose and fell along the tide, wave after wave, in the wind and waves, like a flat boat, rising and falling in the waves.

The man in the prime of life had been on the river for seven or eight years. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation. If he says he is not afraid, he is lying. He regretted his death at this time, and regretted that he had taken over the old man's business.

When people encounter danger, sometimes there is a phenomenon of potential explosion.

A man in the prime of life may have a bit of potential explosion at this time, and in order to survive, he doesn't know what to call being afraid.

The middle-aged man shouted to himself in the face of the wind and waves, roaring and roaring, one is to give himself courage, and the other is to make himself even, so as not to mess up the rhythm of the paddle.

The old man, Li Mo and Liu Dayi, ran into the cabin at this time to find the wooden basin, and the basin kept scooping water out of the cabin.

With the concerted efforts of the four of them, the boat moved forward for a while, and the lights on the river bank changed from small needles to the size of mung beans, and they saw that the shore was getting closer and closer.

The man in the prime of life thought that he could survive the catastrophe at this time, but he didn't expect the water in the cabin to get faster and faster, and the three of them could barely cope at first, but in the end, they scooped one basin into ten basins, and more and more water entered.

In the next few breaths, the boat was completely submerged by the river, and it was on the shore, but it fell short at this critical moment, and the middle-aged man was anxious, angry and regretful, but now is not the time to care about these, saving his life is the most important thing, he hurriedly greeted a few people, and directly abandoned the boat and got into the river.

Li Moyi and Liu Dayi swam towards the shore together.

The old man was a little dumbfounded at this time, the hull of the boat was completely out of sight, and the river was up to his waist, only the top of his brother's coffin and the canopy were still exposed on the water, but it didn't last long.

After a few breaths, the old man threw away the wooden basin in his hand, trembled and climbed onto the top of the coffin, and then lay on the top of the coffin and shouted for help. It turned out that the old man was not only not a local, but also a landlubber who couldn't water.

At this time, several people had already swam out of the river, and they saw that they were about to reach the bank of the river, but they did not expect that the old man could not swim, and when they heard the old man crying for help, they looked back and saw the old man lying on the coffin lid and drifting downstream.

The middle-aged man was hot-hearted, and he couldn't bear to leave him alone, relying on his good water nature, gritted his teeth, and a fierce man chased after him.

Liu Dayi followed.

The man in the prime of life and Liu Dayi were only about thirty years old at the time, and it was when they were young and strong, and they quickly caught the coffin with swimming in the water.

When he arrived at the coffin, Liu Dayi found that the coffin was full of fish, and there were countless of them, which made people's scalps tense when they looked at it.

It stands to reason that this kind of solid wood coffin can't float when thrown into the river, and there is an old man on the top of the coffin, which should have sunk a long time ago, but it was these fish who held the coffin on the water. And the fish were like crazy, and they gnawed at the bottom of the coffin with their mouths, sizzling, and the sound was extremely terrible.

Liu Dayi seemed to understand something at this time, the scratching sound in the coffin before was actually made by the fish gnawing on the coffin floor, and it sounded very similar to the sound of scratching the coffin board, not a demonic sign emitted by midges.

Why do the fish gnaw on the coffin board? Liu Dayi didn't know, but the boat just now must have been gnawed by these fish.

The man in the prime of life drove the fish to the coffin, he wanted to pull the old man off the coffin, this time the shipwreck was because of this unlucky coffin, if the old man still held it, he was appointed to sink into the river with him, and then even the immortals could not save the old man.

Just when the middle-aged man was about to stretch out his hand to pull the old man, the fish under the coffin changed, as if they were greatly frightened, and in an instant, they scattered around without a head and no brain, hitting the middle-aged man and Liu Dayi painfully, and the fish swarmed and washed them away from the coffin.

When they stabilized themselves in the water, the fish had dispersed, only the scattered scattered fish were still fleeing in all directions, Liu Dayi was washed away from the coffin by the fish seven or eight meters away, and the coffin was still floating downstream at this time, Liu Dayi wanted to swim over to save the old man.

But at this time, there was a loud "boom" under the coffin, as if the coffin had hit a mine, and the whole coffin, together with the old man above, suddenly flew more than ten meters above the water.

"Water Beast!"

The middle-aged man shouted.

At the same time, Liu Dayi clearly saw a big black fish shadow under the coffin, like a small mountain, but much larger than his tent boat, and the coffin was flying by its head.

As soon as Li Mo climbed the mountain bank, he heard a loud noise in the water, and when he turned around, he saw the whale-like black monster, and he was shocked.

The middle-aged man's face turned pale at this time, and he wanted to turn around and run for his life, but when he thought of the poor old man, he felt that he was sorry for his conscience and left the old man alone, so he shouted at the old man in a trembling voice, "Uncle, water...... The water beast is coming, throw away the coffin......"

I don't know if the old man heard the voice that the man in the prime of life ventured to shout, but after a wave, the old man and the coffin were indeed separated.

The coffin plunged into the water with its head down, and the old man fell into a piece of water close to Liu Dayi, and after a few splashes in the water, he stopped moving.

Seeing this, Liu Dayi and the middle-aged man swam over with courage, but fortunately, the target of the "water beast" was not them, and they had already chased the big coffin downstream.

The middle-aged man dived into the water and touched the old man, supported his armpit with one hand from behind, and exposed the old man's head out of the water.

The old man was frightened at this time, and let Liu Dayi and the middle-aged man hold him, as if he was stupid.

Not far away, the "water beast" was still holding the coffin under it, and although the rumbling sound was getting farther and farther away, it was still extremely scary. For a man in the prime of life, this moment is like a nightmare. Took over a business and ruined his own boat.

They didn't have the courage to soak in the water to see this, but fortunately they were not far from the river bank, and with a good body of water, the two of them set up the old man and swam towards the shore with one hand.

After swimming to the river bank and carrying the old man on his back, the man in the prime of life was almost exhausted, and his head was stuck in the reeds on the river bank, and he almost fainted.

The old man was better at this time, but he choked on a few mouthfuls of water and was a little frightened, and it didn't take long for him to recover.

However, the first thing the old man did when he recovered was to cry, and he sat down in the reeds and wept loudly against the river.

The man in the prime of life was lying on his back in the reeds at this time, snoring and panting, listening to the old man crying, he also wanted to cry, and his heart was very uncomfortable, the boat was gone, what would he do to make a living in the future?

Two people just cried and the other lay down.
