Chapter 11: Overboard
In the dim water, I saw a white shadow pulling my feet below, long black hair fluttering in the water, and a fair face facing me. It turned out to be Lingling!
I was so frightened that I screamed, my mouth just opened, I choked on a few mouthfuls of water, I struggled desperately, but I couldn't break free from what was pulling my legs, I gradually lost my strength, and I was dragged to the bottom of the river......
When I awoke, I was lying in the cabin of an iron ship, with a very swollen stomach and a salty mouth, covered with a coat and only shorts underneath.
"Wake up, wake up." It was Director Zhang's voice.
There were seven or eight people in front of me, it was Director Zhang and a few policemen, and Lingling was in front, and several people were all wet.
Everyone was asking me what was going on.
I rinsed my mouth with mineral water, sat up, took a deep breath, remembered everything before, and told everyone in detail.
When everyone heard that it was Lingling who pulled me into the water, their eyes fell on Lingling, and they were surprised.
Lingling looked embarrassed and said, "I went to the toilet before, actually...... It was on the tuba, after the top, I threw the basin into the river, I had no paper, hid behind the sedan chair, wiped my buttocks with the silk on the sedan chair, I heard you call me twice, I was very embarrassed, did not respond. ”
And then ...... I saw you jump into the water. ”
I was very dissatisfied with Lingling's explanation, "The boat is so big, there is no one behind the sedan chair at all, there is no one, it's you...... You pulled me overboard! ”
I can see it clearly, it's a spirit.
Ling Ling looked aggrieved, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Brother Ning Que, how could I pull you into the water?" I've been on the boat, squatting behind the sedan chair to wipe my buttocks, I guess you didn't see me, I just finished wiping and saw you fall into the water, I went to save you, after I jumped into the water, I didn't find you at all. ”
"Then Director Zhang and Uncle Ning came in a boat, and it was everyone who went into the water together to rescue you."
I suddenly remembered that the spirit who dragged me in the river was dressed in white, and the spirit was wearing a wedding dress, with white short sleeves underneath, and I also saw a spirit in white last time, and the spirit saved me last time.
If it was the spirit that wanted to harm me, how could it save me last time?
"Could it be...... Is there really a river demon? A beautiful policewoman next to Director Zhang said in a trembling voice.
This beautiful woman came to our village yesterday and is a data clerk.
The faces of several policemen were very ugly, and Director Zhang scolded, "What a hell, what a river demon, there are no monsters in this world, someone must be a ghost!" ”
Although Director Zhang said this, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he seemed to believe that there was a river demon, otherwise how could these things be explained?
I said, "I'm very good at the water, one of the best in our village, and if there's nothing underwater, I'll be fine." ”
Several policemen talked a lot, all thinking that there was a river demon, Director Zhang's face was solemn, and he asked me some details, and I answered them one by one, but there were no valuable clues.
Director Zhang said, "Ning Que, your father explained that you stayed on my boat, and now it's almost five o'clock, and when you dock at half past six, Uncle Ning will come to pick you up." ”
Director Zhang and a few people went out, and Lingling sat beside me with an aggrieved face, and said, "Brother Ning Que, don't you believe me?" ”
I took Lingling's hand, a little guilty, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you, but I saw that the person who pulled me into the water, and the person who dragged me in the water, was really you." ”
Lingling said, "You are so good at water, if it is really me, my water nature can be better than yours?" Can it hurt you in the river? ”
Lingling was right, and the word river demon popped up in my heart again.
Lingling and I rested in the cabin and told my dad about the incident, and my dad was very worried about me.
At half past six, Lingling and I left Director Zhang's boat, we put on wet wedding dresses, got on the wooden boat again, got into the sedan chair, and waited in the water, Director Zhang drove the boat away.
Seeing that the sky was shining, Lingling and I were finally relieved, and at seven o'clock, more than a dozen fishing boats found us and took Lingling and me ashore.
Everyone gathered around the port, and the villagers were very happy to see the two of us return safely, and several villagers came over to thank our father and son.
The lady asked why our clothes were wet and whether we had left the sedan chair.
My dad had already taught me how to say it, except for Director Zhang's rescue of us, I said everything else, Lingling went to the toilet, I thought Lingling fell into the water, went into the water to find Lingling, it was Lingling who rescued me, however, I didn't say anything about seeing another Lingling in the water, I was afraid that this matter would be bad for Lingling.
Mrs. Fang frowned and said, "Since you have returned safely, this matter will be over." ”
My dad asked with a cold face, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Fang Shenpo's expression was fierce, "I said, people can't leave the sedan chair, I can't make mistakes in any part of my arrangement, now that the two children leave the sedan chair, I don't know what will happen, I hope the village will be fine in the future." ”
The villagers thought that the village would be safe in the future, but when they heard the ambiguous words of the goddess Fang, their smiles stiffened on their faces, and they were a little flustered.
My dad had some anger on his face, "Lady Fang, we agreed before, as long as the two children return safely, the matter will be over, and I will also take Lingling away." ”
"Where did it end?" At this time, a person squeezed in from the crowd, it was Man Gang, he stared at Lingling, and said: "Lingling is my child, my sister and brother-in-law have an accident, and Lingling will be under my control in the future. ”
Ling Ling took a few steps forward, his face covered with frost, and shouted, "Man Gang, even if I don't leave, my family is not your family, my mother is married, my father died early, and the place where I live is now mine, so don't come to my house in the future!" ”
Man Gang said: "My sister and brother-in-law are dead, the home is naturally mine, you wild species, it will only harm people, what right do you have to live at home?" ”
Lingling did not back down, "If you don't live, you won't live, I will follow Ning Que in the future, none of you care about me, otherwise, I will let you die a good-looking death!" ”
Man Gang was furious when he heard this, "You little girl, be careful that I slaughter you!" Don't think your cheap husband can protect you! ”
Ling Ling took a few steps forward, his eyes bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, "Then you wait for me, see who slaughters whom, and see who dies first!" ”
Lingling's gaze was extremely terrifying, gritting his teeth, and the coldness in his eyes was like a frost of ten thousand years, as if he wanted to rush up and kill Man Gang now.
Lingling has been bullied since he was a child, and his personality is a little gloomy and cowardly, but now he is full of gangster, and he is not afraid of heaven and earth.
Man Gang was about to rush forward, I blocked in front of Ling Ling, staring at Man Gang coldly, "Man Gang, if you dare to hurt Ling Ling again in the future, I will not be done with you!" ”
"Okay, don't argue, what kind of system have you become!" Man Gang was still arguing, but was reprimanded by the village chief, and the village chief said: "Let's listen to what Fang Shenpo has to say first." ”
Fang Shenpo said, "I still say the same thing, I don't know if the village will be safe, I can only take one step at a time, if no one in the village dies, then it will be safe, if it continues to have an accident, it means that the river demon is not angry, and will continue to harm people." ”
Everyone was panicked and discussed, and Mrs. Fang asked everyone to disperse.
Our father and son and Lingling were resting at the village chief's house, and when Man had just left, he glared at me and Lingling indignantly.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, someone called the village chief, and Man had just fallen into the water.
Our father and son immediately went to the port, and as we left, I saw that Lingling's room was empty, and the village chief said that Lingling would go out after lunch.
By the time they arrived at the port, the port had already surrounded more than 30 villagers.
I heard from the villagers that Man Chun's body has not been found, Man Gang went to the lower reaches of the river to look for the body, and several villagers who formed a team to fish found Man Gang's boat nearby, there was no one on board, and the only explanation was that Man Gang fell into the water.
There have been many times in the past, and the bodies have been found.
I secretly sighed, Shangnan Village is really evil, and people have been killed one after another.
There was an aura of terror throughout the port, and our father and son sat on a fishing boat and came to the place where Mangang had just had an accident, but many villagers did not follow.
Mangang's fishing boat floated alone on the water, and two villagers guarded the boat, and there were some tools on board, but there was nothing unusual about it.
Here is shallow water, four or five meters deep, very close to the bank on the right.
The village chief said to a few villagers, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Find the corpse! ”
The villagers were a little reluctant, there were too many things that happened recently, after Man Gang's body was washed away, the villagers just took a long bamboo pole and stretched out to the bottom of the water to look for a while, and no one was willing to go into the water to look for it in detail.
