Chapter 16: The Gods
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Feng looked in the direction Ruth was looking, and his scalp suddenly went numb.
A pitch-black figure appeared on the wall.
"It's the gods...... It shouldn't be! Ruth glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and lost her mind: "It's ...... It's already evening......"
She swallowed violently, her heart pounding.
Wang Feng glanced at Ruth and forced her composure: "What the hell are the gods you are talking about?" ”
"There is a legend in the village that all people are born from the sea, and these so-called gods are actually our ancestors, who settled us on the mainland, and then returned to the bottom of the sea to sleep until a great flood woke them up from their slumber......" Ruth paused: "Every year we hold a sacrifice to thank our ancestors for their gifts. ”
"The Great Flood?"
Wang Feng always felt as if he had heard this word somewhere? And more than once, he looked at Ruth: "Which great flood are you talking about?" ”
Ruth turned her head a little impatiently: "How do I know which flood it is?" I haven't experienced ...... again."
Wang Feng felt that what Ruth said also made some sense.
The lights suddenly went out, and both of them were startled.
The thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and the black shadow on the wall disappeared along the light.
"The dark shadow on the wall is gone."
Ruth hurriedly talked to Wang Feng about it.
Wang Feng's brows kept tightening: "It's not that it's gone, but it's become an entity." You hurry up and take control of the boat, and I'll light the candles. ”
Ruth quickly got up and ran to the rudder to control the hull.
Wang Feng took out a match, struck one, and lit the candle on the table.
The lights are dim, but it's better than nothing.
The sea suddenly calmed down, the ship stopped shaking, and the dark clouds in the sky split apart, and from the cracks of the dark clouds flashed countless rays of light.
"It's ...... What's going on? ”
Ruth panicked for a moment, and Wang Feng looked at the sea and suddenly turned pale and shouted at Ruth: "Hurry up!" ”
The sea covered with light was actually bulging one after another
Large, blurred black shadows.
In the distance, a large ship was slowly approaching them.
"There's a ship there......"
In this case, Ruth seems to see a savior, and perhaps the big ship can help the two escape their fate.
Wang Feng felt that something was wrong, because the ship had no lights, and it gave people a very uncomfortable feeling from a distance.
It took him half a minute before he realized that the ship was a ghost ship.
Ghost ships have been found all over the world, some of them very old, and all legends have the same beginning, when a ship was found at sea, but there was no one on it.
There are even some half-eaten dinners on some ships, but the people who eat have disappeared and disappeared since then, what happened to them? And where did it go? Who knows?
It is precisely because of this that the ghost ship will make all suspense writers so obsessed, no matter what the subject will write it into.
The most famous of these is the Flying Dutchman, which has been used many times, both in painting and in song.
The ship first appeared in George Linton's Botany Bay Voyage Book in the late 18th century, and the story has endured ever since, thanks to countless fishermen and sailors who claim to have seen the ship. The Flying Dutchman is a ship that sails from Amsterdam and is captained by van der Waald Deken.
While driving to the East Indies, passing through the Cape of Good Hope, we encountered extreme weather. The captain ordered the adventure and vowed to pass through the Cape of Good Hope, killing one of the crew members, an act deemed insane. He even shouted, "Even if God lets me sail to the end of the world, I will do my best!" "But despite all his efforts, the ship was sunk by the storm, and legend has it that van der Waald Derken and his ghost ship will forever curse the seas. To this day, the story of the Flying Dutchman is still one of the most gorgeous pieces of ghost ship legend. From fishermen to the Prince of Wales, they have claimed to have seen the ship sailing as if it never stopped.
Before they knew it, the ghost ship had arrived in front of them.
The massive hull was made of steel and wood, and at the tip of it was a huge statue of a woman, with moss glowing dark green, and the sails were worn out.
At this time, Wang Feng came to his senses and snatched the rudder from Ruth, wanting to flee quickly.
But it was too late, and the huge ghost ship directly knocked over their ship, and the two of them rolled out before they had time to react.
Although the sea has calmed down, the undercurrent of the waves is surging, and the eyes are full of white spray caused by the impact, and the two of them fell directly into the water, and the situation became chaotic.
Before they could react, a big wave slapped directly at the two of them.
Wang Feng's head jumped directly out of the water, and Ruth's head also floated up.
Both of them were choked by the sea water and coughed, and they had no choice but to inhale loudly.
The waves pressed over one after another, and the whirlpools formed, and various forces under the water began to affect each other, and the boats of the two had already been crushed into pieces by the torrent and disappeared without a trace.
The urgency of the moment couldn't be taken care of so much, Wang Feng grabbed Ruth and swam towards the ghost ship.
Fortunately, they grabbed the rope that had been put down, and the two of them climbed onto the deck of the ghost ship.
Their faces were all ridiculously white, and they didn't know if they were soaked like this by the sea or scared like this.
Wang Feng sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
The cabins are all closed, and there is some seawater on the deck, which gives the impression that it is all wet.
The creaking of the wood sounded a little scary, the iron sheets were mostly rusted, and the whole ship had a very eerie feel.
The wind outside was getting louder and louder, and the whole ship seemed to be torn apart, Wang Feng looked at Ruth: "Let's find a place to rest first!" ”
The first time Ruth encountered this kind of strange thing, she was so frightened that her whole body was trembling, she shook her head, and said to Wang Feng: "I just want to stay here now and don't want to go anywhere...... It's a ghost ship! And I'm scared...... Afraid...... Those monsters. ”
Wang Feng nodded, and then sat directly next to Ruth: "Since that's the case, then I'll accompany you here......"
"Silly dog, thank you......"
Wang Feng took off his coat, and then draped it on Ruth's body: "Be careful, don't catch a cold......"
"And what do you do?"
