Chapter 111: The Storm Rises (5)

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

The sound of turbulent running water came into his ears, Nangong Siyuan gradually regained consciousness, he held his heavy head in one hand, sat up with difficulty, and glanced around in a daze,

The narrow hull, the crimson wood color, the dark water of the river.

Without thinking too much, Nangong Siyuan suddenly realized that he was sitting in the red boat leading to the ghost city.

His eyes widened, and the picture in front of him gradually became clearer, and then he was surprised to realize that he was not the only one on the red boat.

At the bow of the boat, a small blue light swayed from side to side, and in the light, there was a thin figure wearing a bamboo hat and a robe, he held a long bamboo pole in both hands, and without saying a word, he was supporting the boat by himself.

Nangong Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask, you should be the ferryman of this red boat, right?" ”

In Nangong Siyuan's imagination, the person who can be the ferryman of the red boat will have a more or less eccentric personality, after all, he has to go back and forth between the ground and the underground every day and night, and the torture is self-evident.

But who expected, the ferryman was asked by Nangong Siyuan, and he was suddenly so frightened that he stopped, and the entire red boat shook violently a few times, almost throwing both of them out.

At the same time, countless stars lit up in the black river in an instant, and the man-eating monsters hidden below shook their tails excitedly, their teeth clenched together, and since the last full meal, no food fell in the river, and they were almost hungry at this moment.

"Hey!"

I only heard a childish scream, and in a panic, the ferryman accidentally stepped on the air, and the whole person immediately lost his balance, and he was about to fall into the river!

"Be careful!"

Nangong Siyuan roared nervously, and at the same time quickly handed out his hands, and at the last moment, grabbed the robe on his body. But the cloth was obviously much wider than his body, so even if Nangong Siyuan grabbed the corner of the clothes in time, his whole body slipped out from under the clothes.

"Not good!"

Nangong Siyuan's heart tightened, he knew very well that if there was no ferryman's guidance, he alone might not be able to go to the ghost market if he wandered around this winding waterway for ten or eight years!

Therefore, at this moment, the ferryman's life is his life!

"Bang!"

Nangong Siyuan slapped the side of the boat with both palms, and suddenly there was a gust of wind, only to see him jump up from the middle of the red boat, and in the blink of an eye, the whole person flashed to the bow of the boat, his left foot against a raised plank, and suddenly leaned down, his right hand instantly grabbed the bamboo pole to stabilize the hull, and his left hand reached out to the ferryman's chest and grabbed his neckline!

At this time, the distance between his toes and the black river under him was only ten centimeters!

Suddenly, there was a slight "click" sound in the river, and the ferryman listened to it and immediately realized that it was the man-eating monster that was surging!

His face changed suddenly, he looked at Nangong Siyuan with horror in his eyes, and shouted urgently: "Please, please!" Pull me up! ”

Nangong Siyuan suddenly frowned, and without hesitating for a second, he used all his strength to pull his whole person up!

"Click! Click! ”

The man-eating monsters in the river were so hungry that they changed their habits, and instead of using temptation, they jumped out of the water, chasing the ferryman's calf and biting their mouths. The teeth are as sharp as knives, reflecting a little blue light, even if you look at it from a distance, it feels extremely scary, if you are really bitten by them, I am afraid that if you don't die, you will be seriously injured......

"What is this?

Stuff! ”

Nangong Siyuan was shocked in his heart, although he couldn't figure out what kind of monster it was, but he also clearly felt its danger, so he hurriedly raised his left arm and lifted the ferryman into the air, and then threw him backwards and threw him to the end of the red boat!

Immediately afterwards, he quickly pulled up the long bamboo pole and hit a few sticks in the air, with a "pop" sound, and dozens of man-eating monsters that jumped out of the water were all beaten back by him!

However, the man-eating monsters that fell back into the river were obviously not giving up, they quickly wagged their tails, circled to both sides of the red boat, and rushed out of the water at full speed again, heading towards the back of Nangong Siyuan!

"Brother! Behind! ”

Nangong Siyuan's heart trembled, and he knew that he was in trouble!

No matter how fast his reaction is, it is estimated that there are forty of them in the face of man-eating monsters coming from all directions, and they don't tell you any roundabout tactics, and suddenly, with thousands of troops and horses, he is alone, with a long pole, how can he deal with it!

I can't cope with it, I have to deal with it!

Could it be that he still has a way out!

"Huh!"

Nangong Siyuan roared hysterically, grabbed the middle of the bamboo pole with both hands, and then quickly twisted his wrist, using the bamboo pole of the boat as a long stick!

The bamboo pole "Xiu Xiu" rotated rapidly, around his torso, from top to bottom, leaving no trace of life!

It is estimated that even those cannibal monsters did not expect that the food "sent" today was so brave and tough! If they could know the outcome in advance, they would definitely stay away from this red boat, and they would never dare to get close for half a minute!

In a tragic "pop" sound, those man-eating monsters were either knocked out of the eyeballs, or were pierced through the inner tank, this time, they did not dare to turn back, as soon as they fell into the river, they fell into the desert and fled!

"Huh...... Heh......"

Nangong Siyuan held the bamboo pole in one hand and supported his knees with the other, bent over, dripping with sweat, panting, and looking at the ferryman who collapsed at the end of the red boat with a tired face.

"What...... You ......"

Nangong Siyuan was stunned, he never expected that the ferryman would be an eleven or twelve-year-old kid! Seeing that his body is skinny, it is estimated that he does not have much strength up and down his body, no wonder he can't stabilize the hull at all at such a dangerous moment just now!

"You stinky kid...... How can it be a ferryman...... You...... What about your parents......

The stinky child in Nangong Siyuan's mouth is the small stall owner that Qian Taishao, Ah Fu and Yun Yi met.

For his grandfather's sudden departure, he was difficult to digest for a while, if he was a different person, he suddenly lost his support in life, and it was estimated that he would have to change for a year and a half. However, Hongzhou can't be without a ferryman for a day, so as the only member of the family, he naturally has to be replaced in this important position.

Hearing Nangong Siyuan's question, the stall owner's face suddenly darkened a lot, and his eyebrows were even more gloomy. But soon, he withdrew from his sorrow, changed to a worried look, and came to Nangong Siyuan's side lightly, and asked urgently: "Brother! Are you okay! ”

"I ...... Something...... You first...... Let's let ......"

"Huh?" The small stall owner was suddenly shocked, covered his mouth with one hand, obediently listened to his words, and retreated to the middle of the red boat.

Nangong Siyuan lifted the bamboo pole and placed it lightly in the red boat, and then, he held the side of the boat with both hands, gritted his teeth and moved forward two steps.

"Huh

…… ......Nangong Siyuan sighed coldly, his face gradually turned blue, and he slowly turned around.

Behind him, a small man-eating monster bit his ass, and those yellow eyes were still staring at the fierce light.

"Hahaha!" The stall owner couldn't help but laugh, but in an instant, he immediately realized that it was too rude to laugh out loud like this. So, he forcibly suppressed the smile in his body, covered his mouth with both hands, and tried to put on a panicked look, and said in a very strange tone, "Oh, I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean to...... This...... Oh, let me think, what should I do? ”

Nangong Siyuan pursed the corners of his mouth, and shook his head helplessly, he didn't need to see it with his own eyes, just imagined it a little, and he deeply realized how funny he was at the moment. However, thankfully, it was a young monster half the size of a palm that bit him, and if it were replaced by the ones he had just beaten, it was estimated that half of his ass would not be able to be saved.

"You can laugh when you want...... Don't speak in such a strange tone...... Sounds weird and uncomfortable......"

"Brother, I don't laugh, I really don't laugh."

"It's okay...... You can laugh...... It's just that you laugh and laugh...... I have to think of a way to do it...... Get it for me......"

Although the man-eating monster was young, its bite force was just as amazing, and it bit harder and harder, and if it wanted to pull it out raw, I was afraid that it would take a large piece of flesh from his buttocks.

In this case, it is like a person who is handcuffed to an iron rod and is given a sharp saw, and a limited escape time is set, will you choose to cut the iron rod or ......

When studying the theory alone, I believe that most people will choose the former, after all, this is just a hypothesis, in case in that limited time, the iron rod is really sawed off!

However, when the real situation happens, it is estimated that those who choose the former will not hesitate to choose the latter in order to survive!

Compared to life, that few pieces of meat are nothing!

Thinking of this, Nangong Siyuan took a few deep breaths of air, and after mustering up enough courage, he gritted his teeth and said, "Come on!" Boy, you pull it out for me! Can't let it bite any more! ”

The stall owner tilted his head and was stunned, and said in confusion: "Pull it out?" Brother, you ...... You're so fierce......"

"It's okay!" Nangong Siyuan closed his eyes tightly, grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, and his nails were almost digging into the mahogany, "I can bear it!" Manly man, I'm not afraid of this pain! ”

The stall owner scratched his head in distress, looking at the cannibal monster on Nangong Siyuan's buttocks, wagging his tail "poof", he couldn't help choking.

"Come on! Better a finger off than always aching! However, before you pull it out, can you count down to 'three-two-one'? Let me be mentally prepared......"

The stall owner looked embarrassed and took out a bag of brown powder from his satchel with one hand.

"Forget it, you better stop shouting, I'll shout it myself!" Nangong Siyuan took another deep breath, but this breath was firmly held in his body, "Three! Two! One! ”

As soon as the words fell, Nangong Siyuan's whole body tensed, and the facial features on his face were all squeezed together, looking particularly embarrassed.

However, then, instead of the heart-rending pain he imagined, on the contrary, in a "rustle" corrosive sound, the young man-eating monster gradually rolled its eyes and fell into the red boat without a struggle.

Nangong Siyuan was stunned for a moment, looking back with a pale face, his brows furrowed slightly, and he saw that the small stall owner was grinning at him stupidly.
