There is no place to catch in the middle of the water, I can only swim slowly, as long as I am not washed back by the current, I have to maintain my strength, and I will call for help later, but I don't know if anyone will save me, as long as they want to, it is actually very easy, the cliff here is only fifty or sixty meters, throw a long rope down to save me, the salvage team has this kind of 100-meter long rope.

Half an hour later, I saw a group of people walking towards the pier on the hilltop road. I cried out with all my might, "Help......

Xiong Lao Liu is the captain of the salvage team, he seems to have glanced at me, but pretended not to hear, and continued to talk and laugh with everyone, until they disappeared into the woods, my heart was cold, I was already very tired, I couldn't swim, the closer to the mouth of the Yangtze River, the narrower the canyon, the faster the water flow, so everyone called this snake tail or dragon tail.

I lay on the surface of the water, letting the current drift my body, and now I guess I was going to be with the bald female water ghost.

"Aquatic ......" Uncle Liu's voice sounded on the cliff. Swim here, I'll put the rope down. ”

I saw him holding a tree, standing on the hill and calling me, with a bundle of ropes the thickness of a little thumb on his shoulder, and I seemed to see hope and swam desperately under him. Fearing that he would fall into the water, he clung to the small tree with the thick mouth of the bowl, and then tied the rope to the tree at one end before he dared to throw the rope down to me.

I tied the rope around my waist, because I had no strength, Uncle Liu slowly pulled me up, and halfway through the pull, he was tired, so he stopped to rest, the place where he stood was not easy to exert force, it was all tall grass, and it was easy to slip and fall.

By the time he pulled me up, I was bleeding from the cliff in many places.

"Are you alright?" He asked me, I shook my head, didn't speak, wanted to eat rice, wanted to sleep.

He carried me home and made me a big bowl of egg fried rice, and after eating it, I slept for three days and three nights, haunted by nightmares, and the woman's expressions flashed in my dreams as if they were fast forwarding. I was sick for a hundred days, and then I was inexplicably cured. After that, Uncle Liu adopted me despite the opposition of the villagers, and the neighbors wanted to drive him to live in the Bai ancestral hall, but Uncle Liu was short-tempered and subdued the family.

After that, the villagers knew about the scale armor on my back, and at that time, I took off my clothes to facilitate swimming, and the salvage team told the villagers that I was swimming in the water, and the scale armor behind me emitted a faint black light. Paralyzed, such a distance, I was only six years old at the time, how could it be so obvious, and it was still black, they should have seen it after Uncle Liu rescued me.

Some people call me a snake species, some people call me a turtle son, and some people are more nostalgic and still call me a ghost species, but they don't dare to say it in front of Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu comforted me and said that this is called dragon back scales, but the villagers are not convinced, dragon scales are golden, how can there be black dragon scales.

Later, Uncle Liu told me that when I called for help, he was in the middle of the crowd, but he didn't dare to look at me, and the people in the salvage team also said that they couldn't save it, otherwise they would definitely die like my father and have no place to be buried. But when he got to the boat, looking at the rope, he felt that it was just a gesture, if he didn't rescue me, I was afraid that I would be uneasy for the rest of my life, and felt that I was killed by him, so he disregarded the opposition of his teammates, and got off the boat with the rope on his back and ran to the place where I called for help.

Fortunately, Xiong Lao Liu did not drive him out of the salvage team, and also found him some lucrative corpse work, Uncle Liu was good at water when he was young, and saved Xiong Lao Liu's life. Uncle Liu let me go to school, I also cherish it, the more I am excluded, the more I want to prove myself with my grades, I always come out on top in every exam, and when I go to high school, the nine years of compulsory education are all free, which is really amazing.

The high school teacher was full of praise for me, saying that although I don't like to take a bath and pay attention to hygiene, I am very smart, and I will definitely be able to go to a first-class school in the future. He often told me that although he was isolated by the villagers, he had already taken my son and did not feel lonely at all.

I didn't explain it to my teachers and classmates about taking a bath, but every time I waited for my roommate to fall asleep, I dared to hit the toilet door with a bucket of cold water and wash it secretly, otherwise I was afraid that others would see the scales on my back, which was already seventeen in my third year of high school, and my back was almost covered with this disgusting thing.

When I was a freshman in high school, I had a crush on my second aunt's daughter, Jiang Chumei, and I had an inferiority complex, so I knelt in front of Uncle Liu and begged him to burn the blade red to see if I could cut it off, but I thought too much, the skin on my back was extremely tough, and the sharp knife didn't even leave a scratch on the scales, and the most annoyance thing was that when Uncle Liu went under the knife, I didn't feel pain.

When I took the college entrance examination, Xiong Lao Liu was already the village head, and he ran to the county, rushed into the examination room, pulled me out, got on his motorcycle, and galloped towards the village.

The reason is that several children in the upstream county were swimming by the river, and one child was washed away by the water, and the parents hired a salvage team to look for it along the river, but it was a step too late, and the body was washed into the mouth of the Guillotine Gorge, which is famous far and wide, and the salvage team did not go into it. Seeing the corpse hit the cliff and the flesh was blurred, the parents cried to death, and were willing to pay 30,000 yuan to find someone to salvage.

Uncle Liu ignored everyone's advice, saying that the child had just entered Guillotine Gorge, and it should not be so dangerous, so he drove a small wooden boat. Xiong Lao Liu hurriedly came to me to go back and persuade Uncle Liu not to touch the child's body, and it was possible to return safely.

Guillotine Gorge is notorious, but it is not a modern thing, the county has a handwritten book "Lao Gong Zhi" during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, which is recorded, which roughly means that the water pool at the end of the Guillotine Gorge sucks the corpse, as long as the corpse of the Yangtze River flows to this vicinity, half of it goes down the river, half is sucked into the water pool, and the Qing Dynasty fishermen call it the corpse pool. It's just that this book is too evil and was hidden by the county, everyone heard about it from Huang Xuan's father, Huang Fang Lao Dao, who traveled the rivers and lakes when he was young and saw a lot of things, and it is said that he deceived a yellow flower girl in the village when he was forty years old.

I heard Uncle Liu say this on the motorcycle, I was so anxious, I kept wiping my tears, I grew so big, I never shed a single tear, when my father died, I thought he went to find my mother, and when my grandmother died, I thought she was asleep. If Uncle Liu also dies, I will have no relatives, am I really born to be a relative?

I was young and old, thinking about a lot of things every day, and then Uncle Liu kept enlightening me, he said that if I had a chance, buy a car, and let him take a plane, because he had never ridden any of these, so he couldn't die.

But the county seat is so far away from the road in the village, no matter how fast Xiong Lao Liu drives, it will take an hour, and two hours back and forth have passed, and everything is late.

Onlookers from a distance said that Uncle Liu entered the Guillotine Gorge, and as soon as he chased the child, the current suddenly became rapid, and the small wooden boat hit the cliff wall at a rapid speed, and the boat capsized, and Uncle Liu never got up again. I rushed to the capsized place and saw that the small wooden boat was covered by the water, blocked by the cliff wall at the turn, and the current was no longer so rapid, it was very gentle.

I ran back to the dock boat and picked up the rope to go to fish for Uncle Liu's body, Xiong Lao Liu pulled me and yelled: "You are crazy! ”

"It's okay, when I was six years old, I couldn't die, and now it's okay, Uncle Liu raised me, I must not let him bury his body and decapitate his head."

"Do you know that he raised you? If you want to die, I won't stop you. Xiong Lao Liu waved his hand and said, he and Uncle Liu's colleagues for more than 30 years must hate me to death.

It didn't matter what he thought, I ran to the capsized boat with the rope on my back and tied the rope to the tree, and the villagers were very curious when they saw that I was so afraid of death, and they stood on the side of the road to watch. After all, when I was six years old, I had become a legend, and everyone said that I was the son of the Guillotine Water Ghost, and no matter how bad the ghost was, it would not harm my own son, so I could live.

"Do you still want it?" I asked the parent.

In the past two or three hours, the parents were brainwashed by a group of villagers, and when they saw Uncle Liu's strange death, they had already woken up from grief, and they didn't know whether to ask for it for a while.

"I don't want your money, I'll help you get it if you want it." I asked, and when I saw that he still didn't answer, I didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, and the closer I got to the pond, the more difficult it was to fish, so I tied the rope to my wrist and jumped into the Guillotine Gorge.

After falling into the water, I swam to the wooden boat, at this time the undercurrent upstream suddenly became turbulent, washing away the wooden boat, I chased up and grabbed the wooden boat, dived underneath, the boat tied a rope straight underwater, I pulled the rope, I felt that something was hanging on it, I thought that the other end of the rope was Uncle Liu's body, this should be the only way that Uncle Liu could think of at that time.

I went down the rope, the rope was only about ten meters, I saw Uncle Liu's hands tied to the rope, but his body was wrapped like a rice dumpling by black aquatic plants, this is only more than ten meters, far away from the bottom of the water, where is such a long aquatic grass devouring people. I suddenly remembered the long-haired woman when I was a child, and I couldn't help but shudder with fright, as if I could see her under the water, but I rubbed my eyes, but no, it was early in the morning, and the river was not so cold.

Although I was scared, I couldn't put Uncle Liu underwater, I was able to survive when I was six years old because of him, and it didn't matter if my life was returned, besides, this is not a pond, it shouldn't be so dangerous. I took out a small kitchen knife from the boat from my waist and cut the aquatic weeds with all my might, but no matter how much I kept cutting, my lower body was slowly entangled in the aquatic weeds and I couldn't move.

When the aquatic weed wrapped around my waist, I saw a strange fish with teeth swimming towards me not far away, its head was bigger than the head of the truck, and the diameter of its eyes was estimated to be one meter. I have never seen this kind of fish, it should be an alien species, river fish generally have no teeth, let alone such a big one.

It opened its mouth and rushed at me, a mouth that could hold my whole being, and its fangs were estimated to be twenty or thirty centimeters long. I flashed the scene of that night in my mind, I grabbed the knife in my left hand and pulled it, the blood stains in my palm came out, the big fish seemed to be afraid, but did not run away, but slowly swam over, I grabbed the black aquatic grass on my body and pulled it violently, the blue flame spread under the water, and the big fish was so frightened that he turned around and fled.

Uncle Liu's aquatic plants were also burned, and the water splashed at the bottom of the water, and I saw that he was still holding the child in his arms, so I dragged them out of the water, untied the ropes on the boat, and carried the two corpses on my back.

People in the village say that ghosts are afraid of blood, and it seems that this is true, but what puzzles me is that my father's clothes were soaked in rooster blood that year, but he still died in the pond. This also seems to be unreasonable, which of those people who died has no blood on his body, is it that Uncle Liu is at this age, and he doesn't know the saying that ghosts are afraid of blood?

The child's face has long been blurred by the cliff, and he has never seen a water ghost afraid!
