Thinking of the picture of falling into the water just now, I have palpitations, if it wasn't for the spirit to save me, I'm afraid, I would have drowned!

Lingling makes sense, if you continue to stay, what will you do if your life is gone?

It's already shallow water in the lower reaches of the river, not far from the riverbank, and I say, just find the riverbank and stop, stay there until dawn, and then go back.

This will not offend the villagers.

Lingling said: "You are afraid of offending people, I am not afraid, I will explain to the villagers!" Besides, the river is so dangerous, going ashore is the best option, if you continue to stay in the river, who knows what will happen? ”

But the problem came that there were no oars on the boat, and I remember my father put the oars on the boat with his own hands and told me that if I encountered mortal danger, I should not care so much and row for my life.

Could it be that just now in the wind and waves, the oars fell into the water?

But the oars are stuck in the boat, how can they fall overboard? Or did someone take the oars away in advance?

Lingling and I had to wait on the boat, and after ten minutes, suddenly the boat shook violently.

How can the calm water be so shaky?

"Over there...... There are people underwater! ”

Lingling suddenly pointed in one direction, her voice trembling.

I crawled on the side of the boat, and there was no one in the direction of the spirit, only a faint moonlight shining on the water, glowing with a burst of silver.

"Are you mistaken?" I asked Lingling.

"No, I'm absolutely not mistaken," said Lingling, "I saw a miserable white hand reaching out of the water and grabbing the edge of my boat, and I shouted and disappeared again. ”

Could it really be a river monster?

"Whew!"

The hull of the ship began to shake again, more and more violently, Lingling held my hand tightly, I clutched the rope on the boat tightly, we stood back to back, and if we noticed anything unusual, we immediately told each other.

The water around the boat began to splash, as if there was something underneath the boat!

I panicked, could it be that there are really river monsters in the Yin and Yang River? I've never believed in these things, but what happened tonight has completely turned my worldview upside down.

Suddenly, I felt wet under my feet, and Lingling noticed it.

Where we were standing, cracks appeared, and water from the river began to seep in.

Although the boat is made of wood, the bottom of the boat is very thick, and it is very difficult to penetrate the bottom of the boat. But I didn't hear anything!

There is simply nothing to plug the seepage!

The water began to grow more and more, the hole was getting bigger and bigger, and we had no way to get the water out, this boat was my wedding boat with Lingling, and there were no tools that could be used!

If this continues, sooner or later the boat will be flooded by the river, and Lingling and I will fall overboard......

Just as we were in a hurry, there were shouts in the distance.

"Ning Que, where are you!!"

"Ning Que!"

It was my dad's voice, and I saw the rays of light swaying on the surface of the sea, and soon I heard the rumbling of the engine.

"Dad, I'm here!"

Hearing my dad's voice was like finding a lifesaver.

Strangely, after my dad came, the boat under my feet stopped shaking, and the water was calm.

My dad came alone and secretly drove away from the village chief's boat, which was driven by a diesel engine, and arrived at our side in a moment.

I got on the boat with Lingling, and I couldn't control my emotions and threw myself into my dad's arms, choking up.

"Child, don't be afraid, with Dad here, you don't have to be afraid of any demons and monsters."

My dad said, took off his coat and put it on Lingling, and Lingling said obediently, "Thank you, uncle." ”

I told my dad what had happened.

My dad had a solemn face and said, "There are no gods and ghosts in this world at all, Ning Que, our ancestors were corpse diggers for three generations, and we encountered a lot of bizarre and strange things, nine times out of ten they were man-made, in short, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of anything." ”

Artificial? But how do I explain everything I see?

"Is there really a river demon?" I asked my dad.

My dad didn't answer me and told me to light it with a flashlight and check the holes and cracks in the wooden boat.

But there was a lot of water underneath, and the light was dim, so there was no way to check it in detail.

"When we set off, I inspected the boat in detail, although the boat was dilapidated, there was no problem, we towed the boat back, such a big hole and crack, indicating that someone had done something under the boat earlier, we only checked the top of the boat, the boat has been in the water, not the bottom."

"Dad, what do you mean...... Is anyone trying to harm me? "My dad and I are honest villagers, not from Shangnan Village, how could anyone harm me?

My dad didn't answer, saying, "You two clean up the water in the wooden boat first, I'll nail it with a board, and then go back first." ”

Lingling and I took the basin to clean up the water, and my dad simply used the board to stare at the gap, but there was still some water seeping in, and it didn't affect us to drag it away.

Tie the wooden boat with hook ropes, and my dad drove the fishing boat to the riverbank, and Lingling and I sat in the cabin, and we both had palpitations.

"Your dad looks like a nice guy." Ling Ling smiled slightly, as if he was a little reluctant.

I was stunned, "Why do you say that?" ”

Lingling said, "I heard that the people who fished out the corpses all looked hideous, fierce and vicious, and they were afraid of ghosts and ghosts, you and your father looked very gentle, but the skin was darker, if you were whiter, it would be better." ”

My dad is a righteous man who is well-known in the corpse fishing industry, and has saved many people in the river over the years.

I chatted with Lingling for a while, asking Lingling about her life, and Lingling said that she was five years old when she came to Shangnan Village.

Before the age of five, he lived with his second uncle and lived in the mountains, only knowing that his second uncle planted medicinal herbs in the mountains, one day, several people bullied the second uncle, and the second uncle let Lingling escape, Lingling escaped to the river, lost his footing and fell into the river, and then came to Shangnan Village and became Chunman's daughter.

When he grew up, Lingling also went to the mountains where he lived when he was a child, and he didn't find his second uncle, so he has been living in Shangnan Village.

Lingling has said many times that she is not a river demon, and that the dead people in the village have nothing to do with her.

Lingling and I were chatting when the boat stopped and there was an argument outside.

"Evil, now our village is finished......"

"Mr. Ning, have you forgotten Mrs. Fang's explanation, you can't take the child back!"

"Mr. Ning, why did you steal my ship, why did you bring people back!"

"If you anger the river demon like this, many people will die in our village!"

Lingling and I walked out of the cabin, and more than a dozen boats had already surrounded our boat, and the villagers were all angry, gritting their teeth, and eager to rush up and beat my father.

The scene felt out of control, every villager blamed my father, I was about to reason with the villagers, my father grabbed me and told me not to say more, he would take care of everything.

The father said, "My son was almost swallowed by the river tonight, and we father and son can help you, but we will not die for helping you." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have done our best, and there is nothing we can do about this."

My dad interrupted not to get involved in the affairs of the village, after all, I almost died, and for my dad, I was more important than anything else, so naturally I didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the village anymore.

As soon as my father's words fell, there were bursts of accusations below, and some villagers even began to scold.

No one asked us what happened in the river, and no one cared about the safety of me and Lingling, only to blame our father and son for not keeping their promise and coming back early.

Anger suddenly rose in my heart, our father and son almost killed me to help you, and now I am doing this to us.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Suddenly, there was a sharp sound, and the villagers fell silent.

When the goddess came, she came to our ship with a gloomy face, and said, "Tell me first, what happened tonight?" ”

I told the story of the boat in detail, and when the villagers heard the strange woman, their faces were alarmed, and when they heard that the woman in the river was exactly the same as Lingling, they talked about Lingling, saying that Lingling was a little river demon.

Mrs. Fang asked everyone to be quiet, and said: "The river demon is married, it is bound to be dangerous, as long as you are sincere, you can get through the danger, as long as your husband and wife work together, their profits will be broken, and they will definitely return safely." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ning and his son have helped everyone and done their best, Mr. Ning is very thoughtful, don't complain about Mr. Ning, tonight's thing failed, tomorrow night, I am optimistic about the time, and I will do it again."

Still coming?

Ling Ling suddenly shouted, "I'm not a little river demon, and I don't be Ning Que's wife, how can I marry someone I've never seen and don't know?!" ”

As soon as Lingling's words fell, they attracted abuse from the villagers.

"You little river demon, if you hadn't come to our village, so many things wouldn't have happened!"

"Little river demon, you can't be the master here, everything has to be arranged by the goddess Fang."

Lingling's face was full of grievances, and he was quickly drowned out by the ridicule and abuse of the villagers.

Mrs. Fang asked everyone to be quiet and asked my father, "Mr. Ning, what do you think?" ”
