The five of us walked for about twenty minutes from the previous rendezvous place, and a river appeared in front of us. It is estimated that this river is connected to the two houses where we just hit the floating corpses, but because we closed the floodgates, the floating corpses did not arrive here. It is estimated that the water was brought from here, but it is not known how.

Unlike the stagnant water I saw before, the river in front of me was flowing, and the direction of the water flow was the same as the direction we were walking. At the same time, the river in front of us is like a huge underground palace, and it is pitch black everywhere the searchlight can reach. But judging from the basic pattern, this should be a naturally formed cave. Because the cave is full of limestone stalactites and stalagmites. Everyone was puzzled.

"It is normal for karst landforms to be distributed around 30 degrees north latitude. According to some previous geographical research data, the karst landforms of Sichuan are mainly distributed along the mountains around the Sichuan Basin. ”

Professor Li stewed for a while and said, "The place we are in now is the intersection of the western Sichuan Plain and the mountains, so it is normal to see this kind of landform." ”

Professor Li and I looked at the time on our watches, and it was 7 p.m. Because during the day, everyone experienced the stone statue and was chased by floating corpses, and everyone was already very tired. So, Professor Li and I discussed and decided that we would camp here tonight. Because the previous incident of floating corpses made everyone feel uneasy, we chose the location of the camp a little further away from the river.

Cannon and I made rounds around and found nothing out of the ordinary, so we built a bonfire in the center of our tent. The thrill of the day made everyone tired, and everyone ate something and prepared to rest. Considering everyone's safety, I, Cannon, and Xiao Yin took turns to keep vigil.

After I took turns with the cannon, I replaced it with Xiao Yin.

Suddenly, Xiao Yin screamed, "Don't come here, don't come over." "We heard it. I saw Xiao Yin alone there waving the sapper shovel in his hand.

We hurried over, but Xiao Yin was almost frantically waving the sapper shovel in his hand, and he was holding his throat, so he couldn't get close at all.

Professor Li said anxiously: "Xiao Yin, what's going on, how is this good?" ”

At this moment, Xiao Yin waved the sapper shovel at Li Tong, and said in his mouth: "Female ghost, don't come, don't come." Li Tong had no choice but to back down again and again. We were anxious when the cannon picked up its wooden stick and smashed it towards the back of Xiao Yin's head, and Xiao Yin suddenly fainted.

Professor Li was also worried that the cannon would not be severe. I saw the cannon and said: "Professor Li, don't worry, I think I was also the little bully of our school back then, and this kung fu of knocking people on the back of the head is still very accurate, don't worry, Xiao Yin will be fine." I said, "Cannon, blow it, and be careful that the ox goes up to the sky." ”

Li Tong also said at this time: "Who knows if he has a serious attack." Really. "I saw that the cannon still wanted to say something, so I immediately persuaded it, otherwise it would be endless.

At this time, Xiao Yin had slowly woken up.

He touched the back of his head and said, "Who hit me just now, it hurts." "We all pointed at the cannon. I saw the cannon say: "You just went crazy, if I don't knock you out, I'm afraid you will chop the four of us." ”

We all asked Xiao Yin what he had just seen.

Xiao Yin said: "After I changed with Brother Pao, I went outside alone. Xiao Yin then said in horror: "I saw a woman's voice say at this time, you come to the water's edge, you pour the water's edge." I didn't think much of it, and followed to the water's edge. Suddenly, a white hand reached out from the water and grabbed my arm. When I saw this, I desperately sapped the shovel. Suddenly, a pale woman's face appeared in front of me and smiled coldly at me. Then all of a sudden, the woman's hair suddenly poured into my eyes, nostrils, ears and mouth, and I couldn't breathe, and then I couldn't remember anything. ”

We all sighed, if it wasn't for the cannon just taking a pick, maybe Xiao Yin really caught the way of that thing. However, the immediate problem is to understand what the Lord is just now. I saw Li Tong say: "I once heard my father say that in the land of extreme yin, the dead are easily driven by resentment and turn into ghosts in the water. It's just that it is generally called a corpse woman. ”

Speaking of water ghosts, I am reminded of the opinion incident that happened ten years ago. I was swimming in the river with three of my best playmates in the village. The three of us were frolicking on the shore and having a water fight, when we saw another playmate's hands and feet twitch involuntarily and slide towards the middle of the river. It scared the hell out of us, and we had to scream and scream.

Seeing that playmate struggling in the water and drinking a few sips of water, when he was about to die, suddenly Second Uncle Zhao from our village jumped into the river and swam to the playmate. Second Uncle Zhao grabbed his arm and dragged him to the shore, and it took a lot of effort to pull him to the shore. Later, we heard the old man say that people had drowned in the river, and the people who had drowned belonged to the people who had died, and their resentment was very deep, and over time they became water ghosts, and they needed to find a replacement for the dead ghosts to be reincarnated. After this incident, we no longer dared to swim in that river. But this incident undoubtedly cast a shadow on our childhood.

The water ghost is also mentioned in Japanese mythology, but it is called kappa. At present, whether there is a water ghost theory or not, some are just a folk saying, and most of them cannot be verified. Of course, there is also a theory that because of the silt and aquatic weeds in wild rivers and ponds, many aquatic weeds or sediment may be trapped and killed, or the water temperature is too low and people have cramps. Of course, this statement also has its scientific validity, but not all rivers have aquatic weeds and sediment. I think I'm more convinced of hand and foot cramps.

To get back to the point, everyone was not sleepy because of Xiao Yin's affairs overnight, and in a blink of an eye, it was the next morning. Although the cave is different from the outside world, we still arrange our daily routines. After breakfast, everyone began to think about how to cross the river. At this moment, Li Tong pointed to a small boat parked in the distance, the hull of which was not large, but it was enough to accommodate the five of us. In order to prevent things from coming to us again, we smeared the perimeter of the boat with the blood of the rooster that had been prepared. The cannon smeared chicken blood and scolded: "What kind of water ghost, as long as you come this time, why don't you prepare something for you." ”

At the same time, the cannon tinkered with her large backpack, and in a moment pulled out four water guns. The cannon and I filled all four water guns with chicken blood. I exclaimed on the side: "Master Pao, you are really good, genius idea." The cannon snorted: "It's still one step away from genius." ”

I said again: "Master Pao, do you want to get you some Fick's diapers that have been very popular on TV recently?" The cannon said: "Seventh brother, are you praising people or playing tricks."

Li Tong asked us not to be so poor all the time and do something serious. So we signaled that when someone behaved abnormally later, we would spray chicken blood on him.

After packing up our things, we boarded the boat, Professor Li was the oldest, we sat him in the middle, and the four of us sat around the boat, because we didn't need to paddle downstream, we just had to get the bearing. After walking for about half an hour, suddenly something blocked the bottom of the boat.
