The scene that appeared in front of me was very real, and I was slightly stunned! Suddenly woken up by the noisy shouting of the ferrylady -

"Hey! Get on board, one is still missing. ”

The boat is too small, Xiao Xu went up, and there was still one left-Zhong Kui thought of following up to check on her relatives' affairs for the Yin Marriage, and raised his feet to prepare to jump--A person behind him, stabbing at the back, yelled: "Boss, I'm here." ”

Zhong Kui didn't have time to see who this person was, and he was already pushed aside by surprise.

The man stepped onto the boat, his hull swinging slightly. There were tiny ripples on the water, and the bow of the ship spun away from the shore. In an instant, Zhong Kui caught a glimpse of Xiao Xu's pale face, and a weird smile flashed-

Looking at the boat sliding in the center of the river, Zhong Kui suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in his heart! At this moment, Xiao Xu, who was hidden behind the proprietress, raised his hand and looked at him expressionlessly, mechanically swinging 'goodbye-goodbye'! Day –

Zhong Kui's eyes widened in surprise, but he couldn't make a sound. In the dark, he was imprisoned by strange forces from outside. Only the thinking is still operating, and he regrets why he didn't recognize that this ship was unlucky earlier.

The sky was getting gloomy, and the lead-gray clouds seemed to be collapsing. The wind swept the trees by the river and swayed wildly from side to side, and the rain carried the wind, hitting his face so hard that he didn't even roll his eyes. Seeing the boat reach the middle of the river, the water surface was as calm as a mirror, and a black hole vortex appeared strangely. The vortex is like a bottomless pit, full of magnetic force, absorbing the water into the river and sucking the boat into it.

Huh - such a powerful evil spirit, not only absorbed into the ship, but also absorbed Zhong Kui's sight and thinking power. Maybe there was a mysterious power that wanted to tell him something, and at this moment, Zhong Kui seemed to be trapped in a realm that was difficult to control.

The darkness swept over the sky, oppressing him so much that he could barely breathe, and the corners of his eyes rolled with burning tears full of guilt. There are screams, mockery, and indifference in the darkness. What kind of realm is this? Zhong Kui knew that he not only knew, but also understood that he was implicated in a resentment that he could not get rid of for a while.

The purpose of the evil forces to trap him is nothing more than to prevent him from trying to rescue the people on the ship. Because this master, who was full of evil powers, was angry when he died, and no one rescued him at that time—

The heavy rain didn't last long, and the river was breathtakingly quiet. Occasionally, a cloud or two of clouds and rain would tick down, disturbing the peace of the river for a moment, splashing an insignificant little whirlpool and disappearing quickly. One after another, another small vortex was formed.

The birds in the woods by the river had been waiting impatiently, just after the rain had stopped. They stood on the branches, chirping and chattering in a language they knew in that world.

Zhong Kui was woken up by a stranger's shouts and thick knuckles pressing his acupoint. The first time he opened his eyes, he looked nervously into the middle of the river. There was nothing in the middle of the river, there were no boats, the people on the boats and the proprietress of the boat were gone.

A middle-aged man woke him up, and there was a middle-aged woman next to him. The two husbands and wives took shelter from the rain at a house on the side of the road after they dispersed. When the rain stopped, I hurried to the river, wanting to take a boat home.

The woman in the Zhong Kui people looked at the deep pinch marks in the other person's acupoint embarrassedly and said: "You are soaked, there are no residents here, and the two of us don't know how to help you, so we have to pinch your middle man - a little stronger, sorry." ”

"Oh, you're from the other side of the river?" Zhong Kui didn't mind, smiled bitterly, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know Xiao Xu?" ”

"Xiao Xu?" The woman and her husband looked at each other, "Do you know her?" ”

Zhong Kui nodded, rubbed the ground and got up, soaking wet, and the heavy clothes stuck to the skin felt really uncomfortable. There is still wet sand on the buttocks, thick eyebrows are tightened, and the feet are stamped hard. replied sullenly: "It's considered an acquaintance, but it's been a long time." He observed that when the couple heard about Xiao Xu, their faces instantly changed slightly.

The rest is silence, silence—

The gratitude of the previous encounter was separated by Xiao Xu's topic, which narrowed the distance between the three of them. No one took the initiative to say anything, Zhong Kui leaned on the side of the car, and for a while there was an inexplicable sense of melancholy.

The husband turned his head and looked at the river. After only one glance, he retracted his gaze with some disappointment, and didn't talk about Xiao Xu for Zhong Kui again, just stood in place, smoking a cigarette sullenly. did not take the initiative to hand one to Zhong Kui, and enjoyed the anesthesia brought by nicotine alone.

"Strange, where did the ship go?" The woman walked up to the river, repeated her husband's actions, glanced carefully, and wondered.

Zhong Kui's face sank, and he didn't know how to tell the fact that the ship had sunk. But if you don't tell it, how can you let people know what's going on? But if you talk about the strange events that are happening in front of you, what will others think and think?

Just when he hesitated, the couple was depressed and hesitant and didn't know what to do. A boat came up from the downstream, and the boat was on the boat, shouting at them standing by the river: "Something's wrong, Wu Lao, everyone has an accident." ”

Mr. Wu is the proprietress who holds the boat. It was the couple who told Zhong Kui.

"What's wrong?" The woman asked curiously.

"Just look at the dam downstream." The people on the boat, with no intention of stopping, kept going upstream.

"Hey, boss, take us over by the way!" Women are in a hurry to get home and are too lazy to care about other people's affairs.

"Okay!" The boss of the ship, who was also easy to talk, propped up the boat as he spoke.

The woman and her husband got on the boat, and it was Zhong Kui's turn. He wanted to see the situation downstream, and wanted to find out what was going on. Because of this incident, it can't be separated from himself, if he hadn't inadvertently shortened Xiao Xu's journey to the river, he wouldn't have had the previous accident.

He rejected the well-intentioned invitation of the boat boss and resolutely chose to go and see the situation downstream. It's not too far to pedal downstream. Disdainful of a stick of incense, he came downstream.

A barrage across the other side of the river not only stopped the messy weeds and the corpses of dead cats and dogs that polluted the river, but also the corpses that washed down from the upstream.

Zhong Kui couldn't get closer to see because the scene had been cordoned. An ambulance and police car were parked on the shore, and the deceased had all been recovered and placed side by side on the shore, waiting for the family to claim them.

Xiao Xu! Zhong Kui had the idea of pretending to be Xiao Xu's family.
