Volume 1 Storm Chapter 069 Red Boat Ghost City (3)
"Whoa...... Whoa......"
The sound of rapid running water became clearer and clearer, and the sudden violent shaking alarmed Ah Fu, who had been distracted for a long time, only to see him sit up straight with a "poof", his eyes staring forward in a panic, and his hands still maintained a palm-clasped posture.
In front of him, there was an old man wearing a bamboo hat and a robe, he didn't say a word, just supported the boat by himself; Underneath him, there was a long and narrow mahogany boat, and at the bow of the boat there was a small blue light hanging next to the old man, which was the only light source in this place, and although the hull was long, the most spacious part could only barely stuff Ah Fu's strong body, and there were countless scratches on the side of the boat, which looked very old; At the bottom of the boat, there is a turbulent black river, which is wantonly pushing this red boat and does not know where to go.
At this time, Ah Fu suddenly understood that the red boat referred to the real red boat.
"This ...... Hello, may I ask ......"
Ah Fu's heart was full of uneasiness and worry, and his keen instincts repeatedly told him that it was not safe here. So, he wanted to ask, ask clearly.
However, before the words could be asked, a few bits of purple light suddenly flashed in front of Ah Fu's eyes. He was stunned for a moment, only to realize that it was the black river that was rising countless purple points of light, like thousands of fireflies appearing in front of him at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the entire black river was smeared into an elegant gray-purple color by the countless purple light, and the red boat under him also changed into red-purple.
Gently, a grain of purple light fell on Ah Fu's palm, and he was stunned to admire, it was like an otherworldly dust, and like a shining star that had fallen into the world, inexplicably, it made people have a complex emotion of regret and joy. Ah Fu lost his mind again, he had never been so fascinated by the novelty of food as he was at this moment.
"Purple Milky Way...... It turned out to be real......"
Ah Fu sighed, and gradually clenched his fists, he just wanted to seize this beautiful moment. However, the purple light flickered through his fingers twice, and then suddenly lost that beautiful light.
"Don't!"
Ah Fu screamed in surprise and hurriedly spread his palm, for fear that the purple light point would hurt a little. But it was too late, and the palm was already empty, only a few purple light lines were printed between the palm prints, proving that it was real.
It turns out that beautiful things can't be grasped in the palm of your hand.
Seeing it disappear, Ah Fu felt extremely sad, but at the same time, he couldn't figure out why he felt sad when it was just a small speck of light.
Ah Fu couldn't help but sigh, looked up, thinking that he would see a sky full of stars, and took the opportunity to express his feelings, but unexpectedly, as far as his eyes could see, there were connected bricks and rusty iron pipes.
"This is ......" With solid maintenance knowledge, Ah Fu recognized those iron pipes at a glance, only to see that he couldn't help choking and said in surprise, "The underground power transmission pipes that have long been abandoned...... The river ...... No, it's not a river...... It's the underground waterway of Greedy Town......"
Glancing again, those uneasiness and worries instantly returned.
The underground waterways in Greedy Town should be the most complex in the world, because the construction was carried out by more than a dozen construction teams, one is that everyone wants a piece of the pie, and the other is that the big people in the central area want to press the construction period to the shortest. However, the quality and construction standards of each team are different, resulting in numerous waterways with large differences in quality, end to end, faults or misalignments during construction. In desperation, the construction of the underground waterway was stopped, and the bigwigs in the central area had to pick out a unique team to excavate the new
waterways.
To this day, there is no complete map of the abandoned sewers. In other words, no one can not get lost here.
"Old man! Where are you taking us! Ah shouted anxiously.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the old man's messy silver hair, and he still held the boat calmly, but gradually, he turned his head sideways with a blank face. Only then did Ah Fu see clearly, the old man's face was full of loose folds, like a loose lump of dough, and there were no deep black eyes in his eyes, only a pair of terrible white eyeballs.
Is he a human or a ghost? Seeing the corners of his mouth rising slightly, I still don't know if he is laughing?
Ah shuddered, and his face was covered with an ominous look of horror.
Just when Ah Fu's emotions were tense to the extreme, the old man suddenly opened his mouth and said quietly: "Red boat, ghost market, come and go, no regrets." ”
"Wow! Yes! ”
Ah Fu swung his hands forward and let out an unprecedented, hysterical roar, which he expected to drive away all fear in his body with this earth-shattering roar. But he never expected that this sudden roar not only completely scattered the purple light spots near the red boat, but what was even more terrifying was that it also scared the old man three times in a row, his legs were weak for a while, and he instinctively took a step back away from Ah Fu.
The red boat was already very narrow, and the old man stood at the tip of the bow, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had no way out. However, the power of instinct was particularly strong, and the old man had not even realized it, and his heel had already stepped into the air, and the whole person lost his balance, and fell into the river with a "bang".
What's even more surprising is that at the moment when the old man fell into the river, countless pairs of yellow eyes lit up in the river, and they rushed towards the old man's body with a "pop" sound, and even caused a splash of up to two meters.
In the blink of an eye, a pair of "clean" human bones floated in the river, and the entire underground waterway was filled with the smell of blood.
Ah was stunned, grabbed the bamboo pole that slipped from the old man's hand, and stared ahead at a loss.
"This ...... What the hell is ......?"
Soon, everything was calm again, and countless purple points of light rose from the river. It's just that at this time, Ah Fu didn't dare to think that their light was beautiful anymore, just because it was not this underground dark river that produced these points of light, but the yellow-eyed man-eating monsters in the river, which were just tools for them to lure their prey.
I don't know how long I drifted, there was a sudden movement behind him, Ah Annoyance turned his head with difficulty, only to see Ouyang Yunyi and Qian Taishao wake up one after another, they both held their heavy heads, and finally sat up straight.
"Yunyi, it turns out that you are behind me!" Ah Fu said in surprise, "I thought I was alone on this red boat!" ”
Ouyang Yunyi rubbed his temples with both hands, half-squinted his eyes, and asked with a look of pain and confusion: "Ah Fu, where are we?" ”
"This is the underground waterway of Greedy Town, but this waterway has too many problems and has been abandoned before it is fully built."
Qian Taishao rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "Abandoned underground waterways? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Ah Fu replied while holding the boat hard: "Actually, it's normal that I haven't heard of it, the construction of this underground waterway and the subsequent failure were a long time ago. Moreover, such an embarrassing experience, of course, the people above will not take it out and talk about it. I also heard a master talk about when he was drunk, he was one of the builders, absolutely
I won't mention it, saying that I signed some kind of confidentiality agreement. Qian Taishao, it seems that I misunderstood your management meeting, and it is really not easy to find this place. ”
Qian Taishao sighed, shook his hand and said, "Hey! Why do you say that! In the final analysis, we can only blame this greedy town for hiding too many secrets, and the talents of our management committee are shallow, even if we pass through this underground waterway, we can't tell what the specific place is! Mr. Annoyance, you have only come for the first time, and you immediately saw the mystery, if you were in the management meeting, I am afraid that it would have been finished long ago. ”
At this moment, Ouyang Yunyi stretched out his hand, caught the purple light floating in the air, and shouted ecstatically: "Ah annoyance, look! These little dots of light are so beautiful! ”
Ah Fu was frightened, and hurriedly shook his head and shook his hand, and shouted eagerly: "Yunyi, don't touch!" Don't touch it! It's dangerous! ”
For a moment, the red boat shook violently from side to side, and the things in the river immediately lit up with yellow eyes, and they wagged their tails excitedly, thinking that the feast was finally going to fall into the river.
Ah Fu's heart tightened, he knew that if the boat capsized at this time, there would be three more "clean" human bones in the river. So, he hurriedly picked up the bamboo pole, inserted one end into the gap in the bricks, first stabilized his upper body, and then he tightened his waist and abdomen vigorously, and used his buttocks, which were as strong as rocks, to firmly straighten the whole red boat.
"Huh......" Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Yunyi, listen to me, don't touch the water...... There are man-eating monsters in the river......"
The frightened Ouyang Yunyi gasped, pointed his hands to his chest, nodded again and again, and responded weakly: "Good ......"
At this time, Qian Taishao faintly felt that something was wrong on the red boat, and he looked back and forth carefully, only to suddenly realize that the bow of the boat was empty, and the ferryman who was supposed to carry them safely to the ghost market was actually gone.
"OMG! Mr. Annoyance, what just happened? Where did the old man who ferryed go? ”
Ah Fu smiled bitterly, and pointed down with one hand, "He...... He's been gnawed clean......"
Qian Taishao was taken aback, holding his head with both hands, his face muscles swelled and screamed, and there was suddenly a little more horror between his eyebrows.
"It's over, it's over! There is no ferryman, where can we go to find a ghost market! ”
Ouyang Yunyi frowned, puzzled, "What do you mean?" If you can't find it, wouldn't it be nice to make two more turns? ”
Qian Taishao wanted to cry without tears, and replied dejectedly: "If it was so easy, the people of our management committee would have known the specific location of the ghost market!" The waterways here are treacherous! A lot of undercurrents like waterfalls, otherwise, it's a dead end! It's over, we're not 'coming and going without regrets', but having gone and gone without returning! ”
Ah choked up, grabbed the bamboo pole in his hand, and didn't dare to relax or wander in the slightest.
Ouyang Yunyi chuckled in her heart, but she knew that in this case, she couldn't say anything more frustrating, that would only crush Ah Fu's mind and put everyone in a situation from which she could never recover. Therefore, she must immediately cheer up and composure, adjust her mentality, and give him strength in time.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Ouyang Yunyi lightly put one hand on Ah Fu's lower back, and said gently and forcefully: "No." We're safe. He's going to be able to get us out of here. ”
Ah Fu gritted his teeth, full of confidence for a while. I don't know how long I drifted, after dodging a few dangerous faults, suddenly, Ah Fu caught a glimpse of a little fire flashing in the fork in the distance, and then without hesitation, he tied down the bamboo pole and turned the red boat into the fork with all his might.
Ghost City, appeared.
