Chapter 215: Water Ghost 1
As soon as Master Ma said this, I noticed this problem, and when I first arrived, I found that the topography of this place was really a little strange, but I just couldn't say it. I searched my mind, and suddenly I came up with a topography that could describe what this place looked like.
On the seashore, waves hit the beach one after another, and layers of sand will appear on the beach. And where we are now is the loess mountain, which is stacked layer by layer like a sandy beach.
Master Ma said that this is a washboard mountain, and he is indeed not wrong at all. It's just that this washboard doesn't rain, and I really don't understand what it means to drown people when it rains.
Seeing that few of us understood what he meant, Master Ma immediately pointed to the bottom of the layers of ravines and said: "Look at the bottom of those washboard ditches, the weather is dry and flat now, but as long as it rains and water accumulates at the bottom of the ditch, then there will be a large water bubble with the thickness of a wellhead below. ”
"Shhh...... Is it really that evil? The fat man scratched his head, and his face instantly lost its brightness.
"Fat man, is there a problem with the news, it is impossible to bury people here, and it is just a little road away from Pingchuan, there is really a big bucket, and there is a thief's den next to it, so it has not been shaken clean long ago."
The fat man's teeth rubbed against each other, making a loud noise. I didn't have much hope, but I was just thinking about saying a few words, when I suddenly heard a shout in the distance.
We instantly turned our heads to look at the source of the sound, and saw that a few people were under the ravines of these washboard mountains, and when I looked at the front again, the bald men were no longer in place, and they saw that we had not moved for a long time, so they went to the bottom of the ditch in a group.
Those people walked fifty or sixty meters at this time, and the place was already the bottom of the entire ravine, and the eyes were full of earthy yellow and could not be seen clearly, but there were a few blisters that should have accumulated water in the reflective light.
The four or five people were standing not far from the blisters, and I counted them at once, but I still looked at them with a little suspicion.
I don't know what happened, a few of us hurriedly rushed down the loess slope, this hillside is full of yellow and not a little green camel thorns, a few steps out of the piercing I dare not move half a step.
After half a day, we bypassed these annoying things, and a few people had already arrived at the blister.
"What are you talking about?" The fat man looked left and right twice, but he didn't find anything that might be dangerous.
The bald head also looked left and right, and also didn't find anything, this grandson was angry, and without saying a word, he gave them a kick one by one.
The fat man and Master Ma and I went around in circles and prepared to walk to the edge of the blister, because the water surface of the blister was still shaking, but these people were neat and there was no water on their bodies, and it seemed that no one had fallen down.
We had only walked a few steps, less than five meters away from the three or four square meters of muddy water bubbles, when suddenly those people rushed up and stopped us.
"Don't go over there, there's water monkeys in there." The speaker pointed to the blister's shaking surface and stopped at us.
"Water monkey, I've seen too many ghost stories." The fat man just wanted to wave his hand to get out of the way, but before he could make a move, Master Ma also stood up and blocked us.
"Fat man, you wait a while and see what this is." As he spoke, Master Ma bypassed the fat man and came to stop our man, who looked puzzled, but what appeared soon made me gasp.
Master Ma stood in front of the man, bent down and grabbed a kick from the man's trouser leg, and almost instantly I saw a mud handprint stuck to his trouser leg. The man didn't seem to know it, but he was startled when he saw it, and almost didn't fall into the heavy loess powder on the ground.
"This ...... Is this a water ghost or a water monkey? The bald head and a few other people were also startled when they saw it, and they took a few steps back when they glanced at the blisters that had not stopped shaking.
It took us half a day to figure out the ins and outs of this group of people, they got out of the car at that time, and saw that we were pulling back and forth without a direction, so they went down to the bottom of the ditch together to want to go around, and found that there was still water in this place at the bottom of the ditch, and it was all the way to walk on the yellow earth, and it was terrible, and a few people wanted to take a closer look at whether there were any fish in the water, so they leaned on the edge of the blister. This blister is not small, there are almost two or three meters on the left and right, but the water is a little muddy, it is completely mud, these people looked for stones to test the depth, and found that the blister is also one or two meters.
Just as they were throwing rocks to see what would float up, something happened. It was only before a few people stepped on the edge of the blister, and suddenly they saw the water swell twice, and these people thought that it might be some kind of fish or something. The thing that came out of the water was a hand that looked like a claw.
The hand wasn't big, about the same as a teenager, and because it was covered in mud, they probably saw that it was a purple hand.
We examined the handprints on the man's trouser leg and immediately saw that it was indeed not a human hand, and it was unlikely that there would be a hapless child in such a place.
The whole handprint was only half the length of my palm, and the fingers were very thin, almost only bones, and I felt furious in my heart, and from time to time I looked into the blister, for fear that something would crawl out, but until the water calmed down, I did not see the owner of this handprint.
"That thing is a water monkey, I heard my father say, this kind of thing is drilled in the stagnant pool, sticky water monkeys have a lot of strength, our hometown used to have a stinky ditch, when the land was requisitioned to build a building, all the water was pumped out, I heard that the workers who were working at that time caught one, that thing left the water, it didn't take long to die, and finally said that it was a puddle of rotten skin in a day or two." We looked at the mudra and wondered, and one of the few people looked at the blister and said something.
The bald head moved a few steps into the distance, the fat man looked around, and finally found a stone the size of a head in the loess powder, the fat man carried the stone, while walking towards the water blister, and said in his mouth: "It doesn't matter what kind of water ghost or water monkey he is, if you don't let it die, you have to let its head bloom." ”
The fat man was still half a meter away from the blister, so he threw the stone down, and the mud exploded, and the stone was already large, and the splash splashed on my face, and immediately a mouthful of mud poured into my mouth.
Master Ma spat again and again, I was angry and scolded, but after scolding, I found that something was wrong, and when I saw that the people behind me looked at the direction of the fat man motionlessly, their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
Before I could figure out the situation, I heard Master Ma, who was standing next to me, shouting, "Water monkey." ”
In an instant, several people in the back exploded. Even shouting and screaming ran up the dirt slope. My mind also moved, and when I looked at the fat man, I noticed that something strange was emerging from the shaking water in front of the fat man. It was a humanoid creature the size of a child, but it didn't have a single piece of normal flesh on its body, it was all purple nails like fish scales.
"Fat man, run." Master Ma was quite righteous, but the situation was not right, he ran out first, and when he saw that the fat man was not moving, he stopped to greet me and the fat man.
I looked at it disgustingly, a scaly face with a bird's beak that didn't look like a creature on Earth. I listened to Master Ma's words and hurriedly stepped back, and when I looked at the fat man again, he was already entangled with that thing, and I didn't care about Master Ma, who had escaped a few meters away, so I picked up a stone and rushed towards the fat man.
The fat man is very flexible, but the monster covered with scales is even more flexible, and it runs around the fat man several times in a few seconds, and the fat man wants to catch it, but every time he catches it, he gets off his hand because the scales are slippery.
I walked around and watched them fight, and for a long time I didn't know where to start, and it seemed that throwing stones directly would hurt the fat man again. The fat man who had been tormented by the thing for these moments of hesitation screamed again and again, the small thing was only two feet long, but the power was very large, the fat man couldn't catch it, and there were several blood marks on his face and arms from the claws of the little monster.
I turned my head to find a helper, but in a blink of an eye, everyone was gone, Master Ma was struggling to climb up the dirt slope, the old boy climbed a few steps and slid down, I scolded a few words, looking at the fat man anxious and helpless. Suddenly, I remembered what the man had said about the water monkey.
Turning my head, I yelled at the fat man, "Water, go where there is no water, crush this bastard." ”
After roaring, the fat man roared and scolded back: "Don't just talk to your mother, if you don't fucking help, the fat man will be disfigured, oops......" The fat man scolded, and took another paw from the little monster. But the people had already listened to me and ran away where there was no water.
I followed the crazy fat man and ran towards Tupo for less than ten meters, and the little thing on the fat man's body had some abnormal movements, and then before he could go out two steps, the fat man was short, and the grandson tripped over the camel thorns growing in the loess.
I followed him closely, and one of them couldn't dodge, and I also planted myself on the fat man's back, and the little thing was so clever that it jumped on the fat man's back the moment he fell.
The fat man fell into the thorns of the camel, and screamed again and again, killing the pig. The fat man was relieved, and at the same time, I also found that this little thing was indeed inseparable from water, and it was only a few tens of seconds, and the original purple scale armor on his body began to glow a strange gray-white.
I hit my head on the fat man's buttocks, and I happened to meet him at this time, and we looked at each other for less than half a second, and an indescribable sensation exploded in my heart.
What the hell is this? I looked at the scaly monster and suddenly thought of something very similar to it. It was covered in scales and had a beak-like beak, but what I thought of was thick green feathers.
