Chapter 16 The five watch rooster crows
A palm-sized turtle shell stopped the boat, even if it was a small boat, it was dozens or hundreds of times the size of the turtle shell.
The mantis arm is a car, and it is not self-sufficient.
Turtle shells stop the boat, and it is difficult to move an inch.
This turtle shell is naturally the one I threw into the river just now.
It can cause such a big movement on the Wenshui River, and even the stone statue of the river god has come out, so it is natural to stop a small boat.
Mr. Liu glanced at me and asked, "This river god order is yours?" ”
I nodded and replied vaguely, "I threw it just now, it should be." ”
He said again: "Since you took it, you can't throw it away if you want to, it will always follow you, so let's pick it up." ”
The river god order is not a good thing, and if you take it, it means that you have been ordered by the river god, which is fatal, and no one will touch it. I had to go down and pick it up myself.
Liu Qiang dragged me, I lay on the boat, stretched out my arms, and fished up the turtle shell from the water.
When this thing reached my hand, the boat began to swing and began to operate normally.
Chasing my grandmother's headless corpse here, I almost took my own life, and the river god asked for a military order to follow me back, and everything still hasn't changed.
After returning to the shore, Mr. Liu began to solve the problem of the rope in my mouth.
This thing didn't catch the body, and it can't be put down casually.
"This rope is made of something special, it is very dense and heavy, I will press your head into the water in a while, you wait until the other end of the rope sinks to the bottom, there is a feeling of pulling, and then let it go, let it sink to the bottom of the river, and it will be fine."
After Mr. Liu finished speaking, he specially admonished again.
"It takes three or two minutes, so you have to hold your breath."
Growing up near Wenshui, not to mention how good the water is, it's okay to hold it in the water for three or five minutes.
I nodded, indicating that I was fine.
Then, Mr. Liu took me to the river, found a suitable position, let me lie on the ground, and when I was ready, he pressed my head and let my whole head invade the water.
At this time, the river water is still very cold, and the whole head invades the water, in addition to the lack of oxygen, it also needs to endure the cold.
I couldn't see anything in the water, but I bit the rope, but I could clearly feel that it was indeed sinking as Mr. Liu said.
When he was holding his breath, something suddenly touched his face.
Because it was in the water, the perception was not very obvious, but this touch gave me goosebumps.
Illusion?
Or is there a fish?
I couldn't help but guess.
In a few seconds, the touch of being touched returned, and it was even more obvious, that something touched my face.
But in the dark water, you can't see anything.
I'm sure, definitely not a fish.
In this way, I began to be inexplicably afraid, this water is very strange, and I still have a military order on me, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems.
The rope hadn't completely sunk to the bottom, and I couldn't get out of the water.
In a hurry, the breath in my mouth also spit out.
In the water, once the breath in the mouth is exhaled, it must be ventilated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be dangerous.
At this time, a soft thing suddenly wrapped around my head, as if two hands were holding my head, but the feeling was different from normal arms, very soft, as if there were no muscles and bones, and I didn't know what it was.
I couldn't calm anymore and began to struggle hard, my hands tearing at what was holding me, trying to pull my head out of the water.
However, in addition to the things in the water pulling me, Mr. Liu's hands were also suppressing me, he was so old, his strength was terrifying, no matter how I struggled, I couldn't move at all.
"Woooooo
I was underwater, unable to make a sound, only to spit out a bunch of bubbles.
The more you struggle, the more pressure you put on you.
I have poured several mouthfuls of water into my mouth, and I have inhaled a lot of water in my nostrils, and my eyes are black, if I don't breathe again, I can really kill me.
Just as I was about to lose consciousness and feel like I was going to suffocate to death, a bright light was thrown into the river.
By the light, I looked down and realized that what was pulling me in the water was really a person.
And her appearance is even more familiar to me.
My mother.
My mother was underwater, with a strange expression on her face, trying to pull me down, trying to suffocate me to death.
When the light shone on her face, she turned like a big fish, dived to the bottom, swung her body a few times, and then disappeared.
And I was dragged out of the water.
"Chen Ping'an, Chen Ping'an." I heard a voice calling out to me.
There was also a man who pressed my chest and pushed out the water I had drunk in.
After rescuing for a while, I slowly woke up, and the whole person was lying on the ground, without any strength.
But I can't forget the underwater face just now in my mind, it's my mother, even if I'm a little confused, I can't be wrong, it's her!
"What's wrong?" Mr. Liu was on the side and asked me.
I came back to my senses, looked at him, felt a little angry in my heart, and said coldly, "I can't die yet." Mr. Liu was really kind to me, pressing my head and almost drowning me. ”
"It's... This... Where do you start? ”
Mr. Liu's body trembled, pointing at me at a loss, as if I had wronged him.
I looked at him and sneered: "Mr. not only fishes up corpses, but also acts, just now I struggled so much, I was almost caught in the water... Things are dead, and you still hold my head down and don't let me come out..."
"Fart!" Liu Qiang scolded me.
"Chen Ping'an, you really know how to make it up. Just now, my master and I were here, and I saw that you were going crazy and burrowing into the water, and you didn't listen to us at all, and you were still out of control. It's the master who has been pulling you, and even he was almost pulled into the water by you, and you still said that he killed you, but you really have a conscience. ”
I was slightly stunned, looking at Liu Qiang's indignant appearance, he was not lying.
And if you think about it, Mr. Liu really doesn't have such strength, he wants to press me, how can he be a strong man like Liu Qiang.
But he had a flashlight in his hand, and it should have been him who shone it into the river to drive away the underwater "my mother" and let me survive.
This thing is evil, and there must be something strange about it.
I sat up from the ground and said embarrassedly, "Mr. Liu, I..."
"Okay, I know." Mr. Liu shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Then, he turned around and said as he walked: "Baby, you didn't do the life of a corpse digger, I thought I could save you, but I didn't want it to be my whims, now I have no way, this river god asks for military orders... You'd better figure it out for yourself, alas..."
He sighed and walked off into the distance, not looking at me again.
Mr. Liu's behavior naturally illustrates a problem: he will not help me anymore.
Before, he thought that I was a plastic talent, and he had a good impression of me, so he wanted to save me and make me a corpse digger, even if I couldn't be a corpse digger, it was better to save people's lives than to create a seventh-level floating slaughter.
But now, there is nothing he can do, and besides, I can't be a corpse digger, and if he mixes, he will be in danger, so why bother?
Help me, it's love, stand by and watch, that's duty, there's nothing to say.
Besides, he has helped me several times, I am not an unreasonable person, I remember bad things and do not remember good, I remember all the good things of Mr. Liu.
Liu Qiang followed him and left, not wanting to stay with me for long.
I stood up, looked at the two people walking away, and bowed: "Thank you Mr. Liu for your help, if Chen Ping'an can still live, he will definitely repay him in the future." ”
The huge Wenshui River, as far as the eye can see, there is no one in sight, cold and deserted.
The stone statue of the river god in the middle of the river and the strange water column seem to tell me that I will not escape death tonight.
Many thoughts flashed through my mind, I thought about escaping, I thought about finding my daughter-in-law in the mass grave, and I thought about jumping into the water and dying like this, but in the end I rejected them all.
There is only one reason: it is not necessary!
Since it is destined, then I can't escape, it is my life to survive this time, and it is my life to die.
By the way, I want to see if this river god's military order was really issued by the river god in this river? What is this river god?
I perked up, grabbed the river god in my hand and asked for orders, and sat on the shore and waited.
Wait for the fifth watch of the rooster to crow.
Let's see if the river god is here to ask for my life.
As for the mass grave wedding, I don't care anymore, whatever! Anyway, I didn't take a fancy to that daughter-in-law.
Because I was all soaked, and the cool breeze was blowing by the river, it was still very cold, and I sat there shivering vigorously, and my face was blue from the cold.
Five watches, from three to five o'clock in the morning.
As time passed, I sat on the shore and waited, but nothing strange happened.
Finally, the fifth watch day has arrived.
In the villages around the river, there was a burst of rooster crowing.
The rooster crows on the fifth watch, and my soldiers have arrived.
I shook my body, stood up, held the river god to ask for the order, looked at the Wenshui River, which was still calm and inconvenient, and shouted.
"River God, don't you want my life? The fifth watch has arrived, come on, let me see what kind of immortal you are, killing the lives of ordinary people, to put it bluntly, you are an evil person! ”
The barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and if I have no scruples, I am not afraid.
I don't know if it's because of my words, or if it's really the time of the fifth watch, and the river has changed.
The water columns in mid-air all fell into the river, stirring up layers of water waves, and the huge stone statue of the river god in mid-air also walked into the distance step by step, and finally returned to the newly built river temple.
Just as I was heading up the river, a new change appeared.
The whole Wenshui River seems to be divided, and the river water rolls and surges on both sides from a certain direction, forming a vacuum zone in the middle, which is getting wider and deeper, and directly opens a road.
