The anchor hook is a necessary tool for the boatman, and the main body is a bamboo pole nearly ten meters long, with an iron fork with a horizontal hook tied to the top.

The primary function of this thing is to support the boat, because there is a horizontal hook to block, it will not sink into the bottom mud, and it can also be used as a harpoon, and when you see a big fish, you can fork it up to make a tooth sacrifice. In addition, it can be used as a hook when docking, and it can be erected as an anchor when the ship is parked.

It can be seen from the description that this thing is actually similar in shape to the ancient weapon "Ge", and the use method is similar, you can prick or peck, and you can basically peck the human body through. These two will be the vanguards, and once they spot the water monkeys, they will launch the first round of attacks.

"I said two uncles, don't start lightly later." I was stunned for a while, if there were really water monkeys entangled with me, and they hooked down, and I and the water monkeys would have to be put through sugar gourds.

The two uncles were very calm, and one of them smiled at me and whispered: "Xiaoxi, don't worry, the anchor hook in your uncle's hand is accurate, and it is guaranteed that it will not hurt you." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand, I couldn't see anything in the yellow water, it must be, I hope you don't pierce!

The water was already up to my shoulder, and I gave me one last pleading look, threw myself forward, and slipped into the water.

According to the instructions of the blind man, I would be bored underwater for a minute, then come up and change my breath and go down, and so on until the water monkey was hooked up, and the time was one hour, that is, two hours. If there are no water monkeys after an hour, it means that there is no one in this area at all, and everyone can call it a day and go home with peace of mind.

After a few ups and downs, my originally nervous heart gradually relaxed, and it seemed that there were really no water monkeys.

Resurfaced again, looking at the sky, it had been almost an hour. I took a breath, dived in again, waited quietly, and said in my heart that I would go home after a little more tossing.

Just as I was pondering, a voice came into my mind, as if it was...... A woman's sob?

But I listened closely, but I couldn't hear anything.

I smiled wryly and shook my head, it seems that I have been too nervous for the past two days, and I have hallucinated. In the water, you cannot hear the sound of the shore, and as for the underwater...... Even if there were real water monkeys, how could they make a woman's cry?

After a few more silences, no more sounds, I began to float upwards in preparation for the next round.

But just as I was starting, suddenly, there was a pull at my ankles, and both hands grabbed me and dragged me to the bottom. I was distraught and struggled desperately, but my hands were like iron hoops, and I had nowhere to borrow strength in the water, so I couldn't shake them at all.

As soon as I was in a hurry, I immediately deflated, and a mouthful of turbid water poured into my nose. Unexpectedly, there are really water monkeys!

Choked for a moment, I calmed down, stopped my useless struggle, rolled over and dive underwater with the pulling force. No matter how good the water nature of people is, it is limited, and it is impossible to compare with the water monkey who is half beast and half demon, and I plan to use the method of pulling the rope to warn the shore and let them drag me up.

As soon as I turned my head, my ankles loosened and I was freed from the restraints.

But I didn't wait for me to rejoice, my neck tightened, and I was strangled by a pair of hands!

This one was pinched so hard that the blood vessels and trachea were blocked at the same time, and my mind immediately began to be confused, which is a symptom of cerebral hypoxia.

Ordinary people can hold their breath for two minutes, which is about half under water, but if the major carotid artery is choked, they will faint in more than ten seconds.

I tried to break those hands, but in my panic, I couldn't touch them.

I opened my eyes to see what the water monkey that was holding me was like, but it was so yellow that I couldn't see anything.

The yellow mud irritated the eye mask, and the pain was unbearable, so I immediately closed it again, but at this moment, an erected line of sight suddenly opened in the center of the eyebrows, and another picture appeared in front of me.

Like this morning, this is a picture similar to an infrared detector, Huaishui is no longer yellow, it has become gray, and in the gray, there is a dark gray humanoid silhouette suspended opposite me, stretching out his hands and choking my neck!

"Oh my God! This is not a water monkey! It's ......" In an instant, my soul was gone.

At this moment, there was a great drag on my waist, and my body was immediately pulled backwards.

At this time, I was almost dying, but fortunately, I was able to get out of the shackles in this tug. It seems that Guo Dajiang and Mai Xiang's sister-in-law noticed my abnormality and pulled me on the shore.

That is, the two of them, if they were not so nervous, if they were someone else, I would have confessed for a few seconds.

Water finally came out of my head, and I hurriedly took a big breath of fresh air, and at this moment, there was a 'bang' above my head, and when I looked up, a large net was spread and covered the whole world.

"Bad luck......," I cursed, and quickly took a deep breath.

The fishing nets that had been prepared a long time ago were accurately cast and covered several feet, and I was caught in the net again. Then there was a sharp pain in my waist, and Mai Xiang's sister-in-law and Guo Dajiang on the shore screamed, and I was pulled by them to almost drift, and I went ashore with fishing nets in a blink of an eye.

There was an exclamation, and countless people shouted: "Water monkey, it's really a water monkey!" ”

I was dragged out of the nets, and when I looked back, I was dumbfounded.

I saw a fluffy and wet thing in the fishing net, emitting a heart-rending scream, rolling and struggling with all my might, stirring muddy water everywhere.

Is it really a water monkey? How so?!

That thing is not a human after all, it just cares about fluttering desperately, and its power is amazing, but unfortunately it is getting tighter and tighter. The sound it made was so terrifying that there were hundreds of strong men around it, all of whom were so frightened that no one dared to step forward.

Guo Dajiang and Mai Xiang's sister-in-law grabbed one of my arms and dragged them back hard. As I watched, the net rolled violently, getting closer and closer to the water.

At this moment, Wang Yunfeng ran up quickly, raised the peachwood sword, and stabbed at the fishing net, only to hear a "snap" sound, and the guy who could only be used to cast spells broke in response, and he couldn't stab it at all.

"What are you doing? Come and fight! Wang Yunfeng raised his head and let out a furious roar.

It is unimaginable that the thin old man can make such a loud noise, it is like a thunderbolt. The others were awakened and immediately rushed up, and one by one the hoes and shovels were raised high, like a charging army.

Then there was a brutal beating, and the people were so nervous that they all fell into a frenzy in order to combat this emotion, screaming and cursing and screaming and swearing.

The life of the things in the net is amazing, and under the dense rain of smashing, the screaming not only does not stop, but rises another level, and the hearts of those who listen to it are furious.

I sat on the mud and sand of the river beach, watching this thrilling scene, my whole body went limp, and I didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Finally, the water monkey's voice gradually lowered, and it no longer struggled, and it seemed that it could not be done.

An anchor hook reached over, hooked the net, and dragged the water monkey ashore.

"Burn!" Wang Yunfeng's not-so-bright eyes were about to pop out, and he shouted loudly.

Several people who had been prepared for a long time rushed up, threw the firewood over, and covered the water monkey with the fishing net in a blink of an eye.

Wang Yunfeng picked up a bottle of soju, poured a big sip first, then smashed the bottle on the firewood, opened his mouth and sprayed, a pillar of fire was sprayed out by him, and the firewood pile was immediately ignited.

The fire burned in a blink of an eye, and the neighing of water monkeys could be faintly heard in the fire, like a baby crying.

The villagers were frightened this time, and coupled with the vigorous exercise, they all bent over and gasped for breath. Fortunately, the water monkeys that were making trouble were finally destroyed, and there should be no more disasters in the future, and their hearts have settled down.

Mai Xiang's sister-in-law and Guo Dajiang softened even with fright, and sat slumped beside me, watching the raging fire and trembling in horror.

The fire burned evilly, black smoke billowed out, and it emitted an unexplained strong stench, and I was disgusted with the smell.

"Scared the hell out of me." Mai Xiang's sister-in-law covered her chest and chattered unconsciously, her face was pale, although she had great strength, she was a woman after all, and such a scene made her feel a lot of stimulation.

Guo Dajiang is usually very bold, but at this time, he was also frightened and his face turned pale.

There was no movement in the fire at all, and the blind man Wang came over in that strange robe, and said weakly: "Son, the Huaihe River has been clear since then, and this time you can be regarded as a meritorious service; Go back to me, I have something to tell you...... Don't forget! ”

The old man chattered, I didn't listen to a word, looked down at my feet, and said, "I'm afraid, there is still something in this water." ”

I saw that there were three deep scratches on the surface of my right foot, the skin was open, the wounds were uneven, and blood gushed out. This wound is unknown to others, but I have paid attention to it, it is very similar to the fifth aunt's feet, it was scratched by someone with a fingernail!

After receiving my reminder, several people all changed color, and looked at the boiling water together.

As soon as our gaze fell on the water, not far from the shore, a body silently floated up to the surface of the water.

It was a woman, dressed in a floral dress, with very white skin, long black hair spread out behind her head, like a fan, lying on her back on the water, motionless.

"Not good!" The blind man was startled and stood up.

This shout also woke up the villagers, and the big guys looked over there, all of them changing color.

The moment I saw that body, I recognized who it was, and there was only one person in our village who wore such a fashionable dress.

"Mom!"

There was a terrible cry from the crowd, it was Xiuxiu, who was now recognized as the most beautiful girl in the village, and it was her mother, Aunt Cuiyun, who was in the water.

There was a commotion at the scene, no one noticed that Aunt Cuiyun came or didn't come, and no one thought that she would be in the water.

I stood up and looked at Aunt Cuiyun who was lying quietly on the surface of the water and drifting with the waves, and my throat choked. Judging from the size, it wasn't a water monkey who dragged me into the water just now, it was her!
