Less than 50 miles from the waters of the Three Gorges, a fishing boat is slowly moving on the calm turquoise waters.

Two fishermen, one old and one young, were casting their nets and collecting their nets, and the cabin was almost full of freshly caught fish.

"Dad, we have a good harvest today!" The young fisherman said with a smile to the elderly fisherman behind him.

"Haha! Oh, yes! I've been fishing here for decades and I've never had such a good catch! When we go back, we must put on offerings and thank the dragon lord under the water! The old fisherman smiled and looked at the fish piled up in the cabin and nodded.

"Dad, have you ever seen the Dragon King?" The young fisherman suddenly turned his head to look at him.

"Silly boy, the Dragon Lord is an underwater immortal. Your father and I are mortal, how could I have seen it! The old fisherman touched the young fisherman's head and said with a smile.

The elderly fisherman was none other than Liu Laozhu from Liujia Village downstream, and the boy was his son Xiaozhuzi.

Liu Laozhu took the long bamboo pole in his son's hand: "Little pillar, we have a good harvest today, let's go back early!" We'll sell the fish and buy you roast chicken to eat. ”

"Really? That's great. Dad, I'll hold the boat! Xiao Zhu looked excitedly at Liu Laozhu who was holding the boat.

"Sit down! It's Ghost Gate Beach in front, and your boat support skills are not good, so let's come on! Liu Laozhu slowly propped up the boat and walked forward.

Ghost Gate Beach has been a forbidden place in this water area since ancient times, and many people who rely on water draft do not dare to approach it easily.

And not just because the water is unfathomable, with undercurrent surging and reefs. Moreover, the older generation said that there were man-eating water demons hidden in the waters of Ghost Gate Beach.

And few of the people who passed by the Ghost Gate Beach came back alive. Either sink with the ship or mysteriously disappear.

So, people gave it a name - Ghost Gate Beach. It means the beach in front of the Onimon Gate.

However, Liu Laozhu didn't care about this, because his family was already too poor to open the pot, and in order to support his family, he had to take risks to pass through this ghost gate beach.

As the saying goes, starve the faint-hearted and support the bold. Liu Laozhu has already put his life on the line, and the fish resources in this area of water are indeed very rich.

Fish resources in other waters are not so abundant, because the water environment is polluted and fishermen are constantly fishing, so they do not catch enough fish in other waters to eat themselves.

But seeing that his son Xiaozhu has grown up, and he has reached the age of marrying a wife and having children, the wife and son in the family are not in particularly good health, and the family's work and the son's happy life in the future are all pressed on Liu Laozhu's body.

For this reason, Liu Laozhu could only come to the Guimen Beach to fish, and today he seemed to be very lucky, and it didn't take long to catch a full cabin of fish.

Liu Laozhu thought that if he sold all these fish, he could sell them for a good price.

If you come here a few more times in the future, then you don't have to worry about your son's wife.

Thinking of this, Liu Laozhu hummed a little song happily, and the little pillar sitting on the bow of the boat looked at his father curiously: "Dad, what is so happy today!" Is it just because it was a good day?"

"Silly boy, the reason why I'm so happy is because I found that there are abundant fish here. Because of the existence of Ghost Gate Beach, others did not dare to come. In the future, we will only come here. Liu Laozhu said with a smile while holding the boat.

"Suddenly. Suddenly. Suddenly. The roar of a motor came, and Liu Laozhu hurriedly looked forward and found that a diesel boat was passing by Guimen Beach.

"Son, it seems that this body of water has been discovered again. You see, they're just here to fish. Liu Laozhu sighed and said.

What he didn't expect was that the ship was sprayed with red paint with two big words of rescue, and the boat was full of PLA soldiers wearing life jackets.

"Hey, fishermen, get out of here, this water is about to be blocked." A man who looked like an officer stood on the diesel boat and shouted at Liu Laozhu.

"Oh! Sir, let's go right away. Liu Laozhu nodded with a smile.

"Dad, are they rescue troops on the water? Who are they going to save? When the little fishing boat passed by the diesel boat with the word rescue sprayed, the little pillar looked at his father curiously.

"They must have gone to the waters on the other side of the Three Gorges, haven't you read the news and newspapers? Two days ago, an archaeological ship mysteriously disappeared there, and all the people on board were not heard from. Later, divers went into the water to find the whereabouts of the ship, but unexpectedly, those divers were also attacked by mysterious creatures underwater. Apparently, they were rushing to that water. Liu Laozhu sighed.

"Dad, what do you think of the mysterious creature that attacked the ship?" Xiao Zhuzi still looked at his father curiously.

"I don't know about this, after all, this Yangtze River has been flowing on the earth for 10,000 years, the water potential is even more unfathomable, and there are too many unknown things hidden under the water, let's go back quickly! Don't let your mom be in a hurry. Liu Laozhu looked at the water with his eyes, and then turned his head to say to Xiaozhu. 110 Literature

As soon as I entered the Ghost Gate Beach, the small fishing boat seemed to have been pushed by something.

Liu Laozhu hurriedly lowered his head and looked carefully in the water, and the small pillar sitting on the bow of the boat also hurriedly looked at the water around the boat.

"Dad, did you hit a rock?" The little pillar looked in the water for a long time but found nothing.

"Impossible! There shouldn't be rocks in this location! Let's hurry up. "Liu Laozhu has walked here several times before, and he has never found that there are stones here. Why did you just hit a rock this time? Thinking of this, Liu Laozhu's heart faintly rose with an ominous premonition, so he hurriedly urged his son to hurry up.

The boat had just gone a few meters on the surface of the water when it seemed to hit something, and the force of the impact almost knocked the small pillar standing at the bow of the ship into the water.

Liu Laozhu looked at Xiao Zhu with a pale face: "Son, there is something in this water, and it was that thing that just hit our boat." ”

"Ahh Dad, what the hell is in the water? Xiao Zhu Ziyi saw Liu Laozhu's expression, and his face was suddenly pale with fright, and he trembled.

"I don't know exactly what it is, but it's been attacking our ship all around us anyway. It seems that it is difficult for us to make it back alive today. Liu Laozhu simply put down the bamboo pole in his hand and sat on the boat.

"The gods of the past, the dragon lord in the water. I beg you to bless our father and son to cross the Ghost Gate Beach safely. When I come ashore, I will prepare a tribute to serve you. Liu Laozhu looked at the small pillar that was trembling all over, and then knelt on the bow of the boat, kowtowing like pounding garlic and praying for protection.

At this moment, the turquoise water of the river suddenly rolled up as if it was boiling, and dense bubbles were surging up from the water.

"Dad, there's something in the water." The little pillar suddenly noticed that a long black shadow appeared in the water.

"Son, be careful, get into the cabin." Liu Laozhu looked at the back of the little pillar in horror.

"Dad..." Before the little pillar could finish speaking, he was bitten by the black shadow that emerged from the water, and then dragged into the water.

"Little pillar!" Liu Laozhu shouted heartbreakingly, but did not see any response.

Strings of bubbles with blood began to float in the water, and Liu Laozhu's heart felt as if he had been struck by lightning. It seems that the little pillar is already more auspicious.

Liu Laozhu squatted and cried for a while, then wiped away his tears and picked up a bamboo pole to speed up the boat and rushed forward, he couldn't die here, he still had an old mother and a seriously ill wife at home.

The boat slowly left the Ghost Gate Beach, and the dock on the shore had already appeared in Liu Laozhu's sight.

The busy workers on the shore dock gave Liu Laozhu a glimmer of hope for survival, so he used the fastest speed to prop up the boat and dock to the shore dock.

What he didn't notice, however, was a long black shadow trailing in the water behind his fishing boat.

Liu Laozhu was about to shout for help loudly, when the boat suddenly shook violently, and then Liu Laozhu fell into the water.

Liu Laozhu relied on the good water and hurriedly swam to the shore. The black shadow that overturned the ship opened its huge blood basin and bit at him, and Liu Laozhu didn't even have time to make a sound.

"Huh! What's floating in the water? You see. On the dock on the shore, a worker squatting there smoking a cigarette shouted.

"It's like a fishing boat. How could it turn on the water? Another worker wiped his sweat.

"There seems to be a big Liu character on the bottom of that boat, and I think it seems to be Liu Laozhu's boat in the village. He took his son Xiaozhu to go fishing at Ghost Gate Beach early this morning, how could his boat capsize there? Not good! Something must have happened to them, and we're going to have to go over and help." After speaking, several workers put down their work and hurriedly held on. Small boats approached Liu Laozhu's boat.

"There was blood on board." A sharp-eyed worker shouted.

"What about Liu Laozhu and Xiaozhu? How is their ship here? But the person is gone, forget it, leave the boat alone, let's hurry up and look on this water. Another worker looked at the water around him and said nervously.

"Liu Laozhu! Small pillars! Where are you? All the workers on the boat shouted loudly towards the water.

But on the calm water all around, only their shouts could be heard.

"I usually told Liu Laozhu not to go to the ghost stall, he didn't listen and had to go, and today he actually took his son Xiaozhu with him. Alas! It seems that they are already more than lucky. Brothers, help him and tow this boat to the shore. A slightly older worker said that he and Liu Laozhu happened to be going up and down the house.

After the workers called the police, the marine police searched for three days on the water of Guimen Beach, but still found no trace of Liu Laozhu and Xiaozhu.

In Liujia Village, Liu Laozhu's house was already hanging high in the mourning hall at this time, and the white flags were hanging high.

Two coffins, one large and one small, were placed in the courtyard, and Liu Laozhu's wife and old mother were crying heartbreakingly.
