Chapter 3: Water Ghosts?

However, the moment I fell, I suddenly felt that life was really full of sorrow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Poof!

The icy cold water enveloped my whole body, and the piercing sensation kept coming, and at this moment I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar, and even my whole mind was surrounded by cold water.

Immediately, a feeling of suffocation came alternately, like a criminal who had been choked by the throat, and he had no strength to breathe.

I tried to swim out of the water, but I found myself sinking to the bottom of the river.

No, it's impossible, I'm waving my arms desperately, and it's supposed to be floating up at this point, but why keep going down???

I turned my head to look at my feet, and I saw one of the most terrifying things I had ever lived!

I saw a bloodless face, with a face floating in the water, extremely white, straight in front of my eyes.

At this moment, this face was raising its arms and dragging my clothes, and its eyes were glaring at me with a scarlet fierce light.

I was so shocked that I opened my mouth wide and was about to scream, but I forgot that I was in the water, and the only remaining oxygen in my lungs was gone, and my eyes were black, and my brain and body were pulled down.

And I finally lost consciousness completely.

……

I don't know how long it took, but my mind gradually recovered, and I struggled to stand up, and a splitting headache came, and my mind slowly recalled what had happened before.

We fell, and there was a deep pool of water below, and I met a water ghost (I don't know what it was, but it was scary).

I ran out of oxygen in the water and lost consciousness.

So where am I now, hell or heaven?

"Awake?" A familiar voice came, and I looked up to see the bandits twisting their soaked clothes and a campfire in front of me.

"Rest assured, you're alive"

"Where is this?" I rubbed my head and asked, and that's when I realized I was saved.

"Under the bridge," the bandit approached me and replied.

"What about the others?"

"Lost" He lit a cigarette, but found that it was soaked, so he shook his hand angrily, leaned against a stone behind him, and said a little weakly, "I found you falling to the side when I swam ashore, so I rescued you, and when I came down, I lost it with them."

"Then what are you going to do" I frowned, and my mind flashed to the pale face, and I couldn't help but shudder.

"What to do? Take it one step at a time! He took a sip and looked at me gloatingly, "You are also fateful, and you didn't fall to your death."

"Take a break, you can't stay here for long," he added

"Where are you going" I stood up and moved, my whole body was aching, and I looked around, this was a rocky field, and in front of us was a small lake, dark and deep, and the fire of the fire reflected on the water like a ghost fire, highlighting the terrible.

The only thing worth congratulating is that this place is not completely closed, there is a faint cold wind blowing in, and the air is still circulating, but I can't see any shadow of even a small hole at all, and I don't understand where the old man and my grandfather can go.

Could it be that something dangerous happened to them that made them ......

I didn't think about it, I didn't dare to think about it, my whole body was full of exhaustion.

"The only possibility is that they were swept away by the river, there must be a passage here that we don't know about," the bandit said, pointing to a rock beneath him.

"What is this?" I walked over and saw that there was a triangle drawn in a circle, and there were three lines of different lengths in it, and an arrow on the top, pointing directly to the water.

"Marks, it seems that they did not leave unconsciously," said the bandit, and I could vaguely see the deep frown on his brow loosen as he said this.

Looking at him, it seems that he wants to find out under the water.

I was shocked, this is not good, there are terrifying water ghosts underwater, the unknown danger is the most terrifying, I can't let the bandits take risks, so I immediately waved my hand and said: "No, it's very dangerous underwater, there are water ghosts and the like"

"What?" When the bandits heard my exclamation, they were stunned at first, and then reacted immediately, patting my head and scolding, "Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense, bad luck!" ”

"It's true" I pushed him away, the pale face coming to mind, "you have to trust me, bandit"

"Okay, I believe you, it looks like you hit something in your brain when you fell" He smiled and nodded, joking like I was joking, with a perfunctory face.

"Alas!" I sighed and stopped persuading him, so I had to drop a sentence and sit aside with a wry smile: "Come back alive, no one will collect your body when you die"

"What are you doing so seriously, you stay here well, if there is any situation, save your life first, don't worry about me, I'll go down and take a look" Suddenly he looked at me, his eyes became firm, I didn't know how to explain it to him, so I had to nod.

He turned and jumped into the water, and his figure was quickly submerged.

The rubble was once again left alone with me, and the silence had fallen since the bandits had disappeared, except for the occasional sizzling sound of the fire, and I could only stare blankly at the water, thinking wildly.

This is the first time I realized my incompetence, in this situation of facing a difficult situation, my courage is really nothing, suddenly remembered what the old man said to Ah Gong, he said that I can help him, I laughed at myself, in the current opinion, he is afraid that he is just to catch me to take the bait.

I didn't blame them, and even thanked them a little for making me understand a lot of my own shortcomings.

Time passed little by little, and the fire was soon approaching dim, so I quickly found all the combustible things and threw them in, and the fire was lit.

In my sense of time, the bandit had been about ten minutes since he was launched, and I don't believe how long he could last, and besides, he was underwater.

There were many times when I wanted to go down to him, but the thought of that face made me flinch again.

After about fifteen minutes of confusion, I realized that something was wrong!

The lung capacity is large enough, you can hold it for five minutes, but what about fifteen minutes?

In the end, I overcame my fears and jumped into the water with the courage of the proletariat to fight for the bandits.

Just as I entered the water, I was pulled by a force to the top of the stone pile, I panicked, it must be a water ghost, and hurriedly struggled to get rid of that force.

But my strength was too small, and I was thrown ashore in an instant, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was a bandit.

As soon as we came ashore, we both lay on the ground at the same time and gasped for breath, the bandit's face was hideous, there was a faint strangulation mark on his neck, and his face was still very pale, and it seemed to me that he had probably encountered something terrible underwater.

He suddenly coughed violently, and when I saw him like this, I hurriedly used my hand to help him soothe his back.

The coughing continued for a long time before it stopped abruptly, and he spat out a mouthful of turbid water, mixed with a little yellow sand.

After spitting it out, a hint of blood gradually appeared on his face, and I breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that he had eased up.

"How? It's not better," I said with concern.

"Good...... It's much better" He wiped his mouth, gasped heavily, and then said with a wry smile, "I believe you this time, and there is really no life below."

"Really?" I was a little gloating

"But what kind of water ghosts, it's all some aquatic plants and vines," he said.

"What?!" When I heard this, my heart said that it was impossible, could that thing really be my hallucination? But it felt so real that I didn't give up and asked again, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The bandit saw that my reaction was a little uncertain, so he slowly explained: "I happened to swim to the bottom of the water, and found an iron manhole cover underneath, and as soon as I wanted to open it, I felt that my trouser legs were entangled in something, and when I looked back, it was a large group of vines that came out of nowhere, and tied my feet, so I went to untie them, and the vines seemed to have eyes, and suddenly strangled my neck, and I shouted in my heart that it was terrible, and I might not have to explain it here; Then I wasted a lot of effort to untie it and swim up, and then I found you. ”

After listening to his story, there were so many doubts that he probably didn't tell me the truth at all.

Forget it, maybe I'm too nervous, since I came back alive, I had to appease the bandits and then asked, "What are your plans?"

"Now I have to go into the water to see what the manhole cover hides," he sighed, turned to me, and asked, "How are you watery?" ”

I knew that he was going to drag me into the water, but out of righteous anger at me, I nodded anyway, and then he said, "Let's go down together, and we can take care of me"

"Okay" I answered, and he made me take a few big breaths and said, "It's time to test you, be smart, and go into the water and follow me."

"Puff"

Before I could answer, he jumped into the water, and I jumped down helplessly, trembling and trembling.
