Chapter 55: Encountering a Ghost in the Rapids

Strangely, these little black snakes didn't mean to attack me! They wiggle their tails and huddle around the coffin boat, making my coffin boat move much faster than the current!

I suddenly understood...... With the sound of tinkling and tinkling water, as well as the stone walls on both sides of the bank that kept retreating, my mind gradually became clear: since the water is flowing, it should not be Uncle Kong and them who have disappeared, but me!

I finally understood why Mr. Liu wore so many coffin boats on strings, because the current was enough to carry away the coffin boats floating alone! He may have known this principle, so he deliberately untied the coffin I was in! So that I can be carried away by the current!

And what about these little black snakes? They came later, and what were they trying to do with me?

I was too frightened just now, and I didn't even think of this! I thought it was Uncle Kong and them who disappeared! I'm so drunk too! Completely stupefied!

I said, why did I hear Uncle Kong calling me just now, it turned out that it was probably not a hallucination, but they were shouting frantically after they found out that I was gone!

It's over, it's over, it's over I've got to go back to them! Without me chanting there to drive away the corpse maggots, they would undoubtedly be in danger of being eaten by the corpse maggots!

But the water is so fast, and the terrain is slowly getting higher, I always feel like I have been sucked by something! The stone walls on both sides of the bank are still the same as just now, with hanging coffins on one side and some short wooden stakes on the other! The question arises: how do I swim against the current? Yes, in this perverted cave where the water flows upwards, it is going against the current.

The equipment in my hand, only the wire rope can come in handy! I've decided! No matter how dangerous it is, I'm going to go down and save them!

Just as I was about to climb back with the help of a wire rope, there seemed to be a figure on the water in front of me!

Who will it be? Could it be that we are trapped in this cave like us?

But I have to save Uncle Kong and them...... How good is that?

In a moment's hesitation, the man was already close at hand! But it's just that he's turned his back to me, so I don't know what he's like! He squatted on a cyan float shaped like a bamboo leaf on the water, and let the rapids surge, the cyan float under his feet didn't move at all! It turns out that the tail of the cyan float has an iron chain embedded in the stone wall!

Where did he squat and do what? Like, as if you're washing something?

I couldn't tell if it was a human or a ghost after watching it for a long time, so I didn't plan to disturb it, and decided to save Uncle Kong and them first!

As soon as I picked up the wire rope and was about to throw the rope, the man stopped what he was doing and slowly turned back to look at me!

"Coming?" He asked in a hoarse voice, a bit like the hoarseness of a bad cold, barely able to make a sound with all his might.

His face was covered with pustules, large and small, and the skin around his eyes was red as if it had been scalded and peeled! He had no eyebrows, his head was bald, and the sparse hair at the back of his head was braided. He was barefoot, wearing a teal knee-length shirt, and his sleeves rolled up and staring at me, unable to tell his approximate age.

Let's be honest...... I used to read all kinds of strange news in the world every day, and there were all kinds of ugly monsters, but I have never seen anyone who can be ugly than this person!

But the strange thing is, why did he say that? Does he recognize me?

"Are you here?" He said again.

Suddenly, I discovered something terrifying!

The stone walls on both sides of the bank are reflected in the water, and even his floating board is reflected in the water, but he doesn't! And what he was washing in his hands...... It's actually ...... Human skin?
