XXVII. Burial grounds
As soon as Ayumi's words fell, there was another terrifying flash of lightning in the sky, and we all reflexively glanced over our heads.
The dark canyon suddenly turned like day, and although it was only a few seconds, we could still see everything clearly above our heads.
"Look there, if there's a woman?" The cries of the beard came.
Everyone gasped, and even Feijing looked at everything above them in disbelief.
In the middle of the canyon, there was indeed a woman in white. It was floating, and she couldn't see anything hanging from her, so she floated in the sky in a daze.
Brush. I almost felt the hair in my crotch stand up.
Yang Xiaoqi shouted and asked Feijing, what is that? Why is it floating there?
The lightning flashed away, and the woman in white disappeared into the darkness again, but the fear she brought us from the bottom of our hearts did not disappear with it, on the contrary, it became more and more serious, as if the woman was constantly approaching us under the cover of darkness.
Feijing yelled and said that it doesn't matter if that girl is a human or a ghost. He urged us to get on the boat first.
Beard also called for everyone to get on the boat first.
The rain was too heavy, and it was even hailing at this time, Lao Bai and Junzi's heads had been smashed, and blood flowed into the river with the rain. The raft is also getting looser, as if it is about to fall apart in the next second.
Time was pressing, and we no longer had time to pay attention to the woman in the air, nor whether there was danger on the fishing boat, and we desperately approached the boat.
When he was about to get closer, Yang Xiaoqi beckoned everyone to throw all the equipment onto the boat, and if he couldn't throw it, he asked people to carry it on their backs.
Beard and Flying Scope began to busily throw their gear on. I didn't dare to get on the boat by myself, the rest of the people went to the raft behind to carry the backpacks, and I wanted to help, but after running two steps, I felt my feet slip and almost fall into the river.
I didn't know how deep the river water in this canyon was, so I was scared into a cold sweat, and after relieving myself, I had to help Feijing and the others throw their equipment on the road deck.
But what I never expected was that I threw three backpacks in a row, and all of them fell into the river, and I didn't know what was in them, and I sank without even a bubble, and disappeared.
"My grandma" Feijing wailed as if jumping down, but fortunately she was pulled by her beard.
The beard scolded me: "Get on the boat, you are helping more and more here." Hurry up and get out of here."
In such a panicked situation at this time, the hot tempers of Hu Zi and Feijing suddenly jumped up.
Yang Xiaoqi also shouted at me at this time, telling me to get on the boat quickly.
I took one look at the horrible green fishing boat, and as soon as I gritted my teeth, I was dead.
The nets on the fishing boat were easy to climb, and even someone like me was on deck quickly.
At this time, I realized that Ayumi had already come up earlier.
She was carrying the equipment she had thrown up into the cabin. I must follow her to get those equipment.
In general, although the equipment of our trip is simple, it is still a lot, and the most is food. We brought supplies for nearly 30 days, so it's no wonder that we didn't bother.
Hu Zi and the others were very efficient, and after a while, all the kung fu equipment had been transported. They have also begun to get on board.
Ayumi counted the number of people and made sure that no one was left behind.
It rained heavier and was windy. Yang Xiaoqi beckoned everyone into the cabin.
The ship was not very large, and the cabin was very cramped, and it was already a little cramped for a few of us to be crammed into it.
"Beard, Flying Mirror, you two go and see if this ship can still be driven. The rest searched to see if the ship had been left behind by the team ahead. Also, be careful, don't leave alone. Yang Xiaoqi saw that everyone had rested, and then began to command everyone.
He specifically accentuated the words 'don't be left alone', apparently worried that one of us would be replaced. It can be seen that he is still very scruples about the dream that Lao Bai and I had.
The ship was not big, and Ayumi and I didn't go with the crowd. Ayumi looked at me fiercely, and I knew why.
The mastiff had been put on guard by me on the last raft all along. But when I got on the boat, I was so focused on myself that I didn't remember that there was a dog behind. If it weren't for the critical moment, Junzi reminded me that I would have almost forgotten the existence of that dog. This time, Feijing and Yang Xiaoqi also worked together to drop the dog on a rope.
Ayumi must be angry about this.
One glance at her oval face, I smiled awkwardly. Touching the head of the ghost mastiff with his hand, he warmed himself by the dog's body temperature.
Beard and Goggles quickly returned to the cabin, and I was relieved and immediately asked them if the ship could be opened.
Feijing glanced at me and Ayumi curiously, probably feeling that the atmosphere between the two of us was a little tense, and coughed, "Yes." I'm here to inform you, trouble the big sister to take the helm, let's get out of here."
Ayumi nodded, didn't say anything, and went to the cockpit by herself. I grinned and tried to follow, but was stopped by the flying mirror.
He whispered to me, "What's wrong with you?"
I scolded him and told him to hurry back to Beard. Feijing said it was fine. We searched the ship and there was no one else. There was no equipment on the ship, and it is estimated that the front team was taken away.
I said equipment doesn't matter, as long as there are no oddities on this ship.
Beard nodded. He handed me a cigarette and lit one himself. At this time, the rest of the people also returned to the cabin one after another.
The rain outside was heavier and the wind was sharper. We lay in the cabin and listened to the wind and rain outside, and had to sigh how lucky we were to be able to meet this ship.
Soon, the whole ship shook, and I could feel it moving slowly. I must know that I can get a good night's sleep on the road ahead. It used to be a sin on a raft.
Looking at my watch, it was already more than 18 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was completely dark, in fact, it had not been bright since the rain just now.
Yang Xiaoqi said that he and Ayumi took turns to drive the boat, told us to rest in the cabin, and made food for them to bring over at night.
There are generators on board, as well as kitchen appliances such as gas canisters.
Junzi and Lao Bai were busy cooking, and the rest of the people were leaning against the cabin and smoking. Feijing sighed and said that he was really miserable by Qi Yuying's girl this time, and he encountered these things before he reached his destination. Then again, what the hell is going on with this ship? Where are all the people on board?
Scar interjected on the side, "Could it be a ghost ship?" The kind of ghost ship that only appears at night? It's like a ghost car. ”。
Feijing said that if it was a ghost ship, it would be absolutely impossible for us to come up so calmly, and I was afraid that we would hang up before we got close.
"Maybe it's the ghosts who covet our beauty? want to give us a first jian and then kill" beard's very unreliable personality began to show again.
"If it's a beauty, we won't lose." Feijing leaned in and said.
I know the two of them said this on purpose to lighten the mood. With a wry smile, he asked everyone, "Didn't you see anything strange on this ship when you were looking for it just now?" Or is it a valuable find? ”。
Everyone shook their heads.
I snorted and stopped talking.
After a short silence, Hu Zi suddenly asked Feijing and the others, "How far is this canyon on the map?"
Feijing replied without thinking, according to the speed of the fishing boat, it should be within six hours. This is still the most conservative estimate.
We have been delayed for more than an hour, which means that there are at least five hours to go.
It's not far, and we'll be out of this hellish place in the middle of the night, though I don't know if the road behind will be more dangerous than here. But I subconsciously wanted to get out of this cliff as soon as possible.
At this time, Lao Bai's meal was almost done, and the military took out two bottles of Niulanshan in his backpack and filled them all for us, saying that this ghost weather drank wine to get rid of moisture.
Feijing lit a brazier, and we took off our soaked raincoats and baked them around the fire.
A few people leaned together to drink, ate canned food, and listened to the sound of wind and rain outside, which was also a special taste.
After a few glasses of wine, I finally felt a little warmer, and then I remembered that there was still Ayumi, and Yang Xiaoqi and the two didn't eat.
I picked out a few plates of canned beef to deliver to them.
When she came to the cockpit, Ayumi was sleeping, leaving only Yang Xiaoqi to drive the boat with a cold sweat on his hot face.
The searchlights on the boat are bright, and the kilometer above the river ahead can be said to be clear at a glance.
I looked out through the glass of the cabin and immediately understood why Yang Xiaoqi's face was sweating.
Under the illumination of the searchlight, you can see that the wide river in front of you is full of floating corpses. Layer by layer, our ship simply sailed on these corpses.
I looked at it with a chill on my back and asked Yang Xiaoqi when did this situation appear?
He said that it had just now, and Ayumi had been sleeping, and I was too embarrassed to tell him. As long as you drive the boat carefully, it will not be a problem after all.
The corpses were badly decomposed, and there were not only human corpses, but also the corpses of some fish and animals.
He said: "This is supposed to be a burial place in ancient times, one of the places where the yin qi is most severe, and it is also the most dangerous. Usually there are such places in large mausoleums, so to speak..... Is Yinyang Island really a tomb? I was taken aback by his uncertain tone.
It's very likely. At that time, we speculated that this might be the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, and I thought it was a bit ridiculous. But now that I see that even the burial place has come out, maybe it is really an ancient tomb.
Of course, this is only our speculation, and we are not completely sure.
"This kind of place is the most prone to evil things, you go back and tell Feijing and Beard to be careful, don't sleep too hard at night." He told me uneasily.
I nodded, left my food and prepared to go back, when suddenly the whole ship slammed and then slowly stopped.
"What's wrong?" I asked Yang Xiaoqi, who was at the helm.
He smashed the cigarette butt and said angrily, "It's broken, it looks like the propeller is stuck in something." As he spoke, he turned around again, but the effect was not obvious.
In this case, something could be stuck on the propeller.
Plants? No way, we haven't seen aquatic plants all the way here. Besides, what a sturdy aquatic weed that can entangle a propeller?
When I saw the corpse under the searchlight, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart - could it be that someone was involved in the propeller?
