Chapter 44: Traces of Survival
The water around me was getting faster and faster, but the little black fork stood straight on the body of the water mandrill in my surprised gaze, as if the water around me did not exist.
"I'm going, it's weird, what's going on?" I looked at the scene in amazement, regardless of the scene around me. This was the first time I had seen such a strange thing that my grandfather had left me.
The black fork fell on Shui Xiao's body, and Shui Xiao was obviously stunned, obviously wondering how this thing could appear. But then something happened that made my hands and feet cold.
The black fork was upright at first, and then a ghostly light flashed, I have seen the ghostly light, the last time I held Su Xiao and saw the bloody corpse trapped in the Nine Palaces Hexagram, I was in my arms with a flash of ghostly light, and then I saw the transparent silk threads on the Yin and Yang lines that constituted the Nine Palaces Outer Hexagrams.
This is the second time, the second time I've seen the black fork change, but this time it's not a flash, it's just the beginning. The ghostly light did not disappear this time, but passed down the black fork to the mandrill's body.
At the moment when the light came, I saw it shake suddenly, and its whole body suddenly expanded outward. "I'll go, so violent!" I was also taken aback by the glow.
But the madness is yet to come. After the glow, the black fork actually advanced an inch. Just now it was standing on the body of the mandrill, but the inch of advance allowed it to plunge right into the body of the mandrill.
"Woo!"
With the puff of the black fork, the water ray let out a terrible scream, and the blood-colored river around the earthquake churned back and forth. Then I saw that the black fork seemed to invisibly produce a suction force, and forcibly pulled something from the manhole's body, and almost instantly, I saw the remaining half of the mandrill's corpse shrink in a circle.
I swallowed, this thing is amazing. Luckily, it sucked the mandrill, not me, otherwise it wouldn't have sucked me into a dry corpse.
Wait, dry corpses ....... sucked into dried corpses...... My brain shook!
My grandfather was sucked into a dried corpse under the Yellow River, is it ....... the same thing? The things that had happened before flowed through my mind one by one, and a brightness that I had never seen before came to me.
But this thing was left to me after my grandfather died, I remembered Su Xiao's inexplicable evil, and my father told me what my grandfather gave me, all of which made me feel like I was looking at flowers in a fog.
Su Xiao obviously knows some ways to restrain dirty things, even if he is not as good as Hong Ye, he is not much worse, but such a person disappeared in the heavy rainy night, and brought my father's words to me, asking me not to go to Lao Niuwa!
And my father, how could he suddenly become demented in the battlefield, and when he woke up, he told me what my father left for me.
If all this is true, then have both my father and Su Xiao seen my father?
I suddenly thought, is my father dead after all?
And when my father woke up that day, the attitude of Mr. Cao of the Five Dragons Temple towards me, and the entanglement of the Seventh Master.
If all this is true, then there is only one possibility.
What do they know!
So what's behind this? Let so many people want to hide it from me, or am I really wrong? I watched my grandfather be buried with my own eyes, and watched him being sucked into a dried corpse, which made me feel unacceptable.
But these things left by my father made me find out a lot of things hidden behind things that I didn't know, but those things were often in front of my eyes, and I was like seeing flowers in a fog, hazy and confused.
Grandpa, what did you leave me?
Maybe Dong Tian made a mistake with them, it was a mistake for me to be a guide for Dong Tian for a salary of 100 yuan a day, and it was even more a mistake to take the two brothers Wu Dayou and Wu Dahu, and their deaths only made this matter more confusing.
I felt a little swollen in my brain, because I was thinking about so many things at once, and because I was now deep enough underwater that the water pressure around me had reached a critical point for my body to bear.
Suddenly, I found that my feet were loose, and I stumbled and stopped in the water, but the broken boat above my head was directly pressed down.
I'll wipe it, and I'll die if I stop. I couldn't care too much about it, my body sank, and I used the kung fu of the town tower in the water, and my feet stomped on the water mandrill at the bottom of my feet.
At this moment, the mandrill had completely dried up, and slowly the skin and bones, the original howling cry was gone, and the wheezing came from it like sawing wood. The original menacing look on its face disappeared, and instead a strange smile appeared, which looked creepy on its shriveled face, but it was a monstrous chill in my eyes.
This smile is all too familiar to me, my father, my father, all the people who have had accidents, I have seen it.
Poof, a muffled sound sounded insignificant under the water, but it was the mandrill that finally lost all its power, turned into a dried corpse, and sank to the bottom of the river, and soon its body was covered with a thin layer of sand.
"This ......" I watched this scene and my mind roared, now it was exactly the same, dry corpses, sand....... what was just waiting for me? I'm more scared than I've ever seen at the moment, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that once I know the result one day, it's hard to bear!
There was a force in my body, I don't want to die here, I want to figure everything out. Gritting my teeth, I grabbed the oilcloth bag with one hand, and with the other hand, I grabbed the dried corpse of the mandrill, and grabbed the black fork with the other. By the way, there is another thing, but it is the hemp rope that was originally on the water ray.
A huge wave of water hit me, and the broken ship had already crushed me, and I gritted my teeth and was overwhelmed. "What to do, what to do, what to do!" I shouted frantically in my heart, I want to escape, I can't be crushed by this broken ship, if I do, I can only sleep at the bottom of the river and be with the dry corpse.
"Hey, here......" Seeing that the black ship was pressing up, I happened to see a swarthy cave on my left against a rock. No way. I gritted my teeth and rushed towards the black hole. I didn't have time to make another choice. As soon as I entered the cave, there was a loud bang, and the broken boat had smashed to the bottom of the river.
The bottom of the river was a "U" shaped channel, narrower and narrower the further down, and the dried corpse was originally hung on a protruding stone, but the weight of the broken ship crushed the protruding stone, and sank deeper to the bottom of the river, and after a while, I felt a muddy situation in front of me, and I thought that the wreck had reached the bottom of the river.
I was wondering how you said a wooden ship could sink. But many years later, I heard from some old people that some of the boats on the Yellow River were made of special wood, mixed with other things, and naturally sank. I didn't understand that at the time.
I saw that the crisis in front of me was gone, but my danger was not over, and I had not breathed for a long time. Most of the babies by the Yellow River can hold their breath underwater, but I can't stand it after a long time.
I don't know what's in this dark hole, I can't see it without light, and I don't know where my watch is in a panic.
I couldn't care about the pain in my lungs, so I tied the hemp rope around my waist, wrapped the black fork in the tarpaulin again, and then swam towards the water.
By the time my eyes saw the light again, the river had returned to calm, and I breathed the air greedily. You can only feel the pleasure of breathing air if you don't breathe for a long time. I remembered that my grandfather had told me enough before, this person was just a yellow-eyelid thing, and it was gone, so I knew to take it to heart.
Grandpa, how many secrets are you hiding?
I showed my head, looked to the shore, and found Dong Tian anxiously looking on the shore, thinking that he was waiting for me to appear.
"Brother Dong!" I yelled relaxedly, and Dong Tian followed the voice, and his face turned into a flower.
I fluttered and swam to the shore, and when I reached the shore, Dong Tian stretched out his hand, and I took his hand and went ashore. The shore here is completely different from the other side, and it's all black sand, but this time on the shore, there is actually some grass and trees, but I don't know how many years ago, it has become a black stalk.
"I'll go, you kid, this look is so fucking awesome!" Dong Tian said with a sigh, and I just started to look at myself when he said this.
Naked, with a large pair of pants on his lower body, shoes with a hundred bottoms on his feet, hemp rope on his belt, and an oilcloth bag in his other hand.
I looked at this outfit, and I also choked myself enough. "Brother Dong, it's good to be alive, this place." I sighed and glanced at Dong Tian.
He also knew that what he had just said caused me to sigh in my heart, so he patted me on the shoulder and didn't speak.
"That thing is gone?"
I nodded, and then asked her what about Su Xiao, because I didn't see Su Xiao around just now.
Dong Tian pointed not far away, and I realized that there was a small stone house that was a little dilapidated there. "I'll rub, Brother Dong, what kind of place is this?"
How can there be traces of human existence here? I can't figure it out.
"I don't know, that's it when I came, Su Xiao was lying in the house, there was nothing big going on in his body, he probably caught a little cold, but he didn't know how not to wake up."
"Well, I'll take a look." I nodded.
"Let's go, I know that you kid can't rest assured, if I wasn't worried about you, I came to this river, you don't know, there are a lot of bones in it." Dong Tian said as he walked beside me.
"Bones?" I asked him suspiciously, I didn't see any bones at the bottom of the river.
"yes, you see, it's a leg bone." Saying that, this guy actually wiped it from his belt, and there was an extra white bone stick in his hand.
"Damn, Brother Dong, you ......" I looked at the appearance of this product, and I was really speechless.
