Chapter 313: Water Ghosts
In this way, for a month, a child would inexplicably disappear in the village every few days, and the disappeared child would die miserably floating on the river early the next morning; As for their parents, they were the same as the parents of the Bao when they disappeared, they all didn't sleep very well, but they died of sleep that day, and they didn't hear the slightest movement at all!
And those dead children have one thing in common, they are all the same children who went to the river with him on the day Hou Dong died!
In the past month, several children have drowned in the river in a miserable manner, and the people of the village suddenly became anxious; But whether it was looking for the police or the wizard, or finding Granny Jiang's head, he still couldn't find the murderer who killed the children ( . M) There were rumors in the village for a while, some people said that those children were angry with the river god, and some people said that there was a monster hidden at the bottom of the river that specialized in eating children, in short, there was anything to say!
After listening to the villagers' words, my heart was a little nervous, from the villagers' accounts, it seemed that the water ghosts we were going to face this time were much more difficult to deal with than I imagined! Because ordinary water ghosts can only harm people passing by the river at best, but this water ghost can actually affect the people in the village. I looked at Hu Yifei and Gao Jing! They also had a solemn look on their faces, but they didn't have any good ideas for me.
"Let's go to the river!" After thinking about it for a while, I looked at the time, it was still early for Granny Jiang to solve the Gu for Lin Zi in the evening, so I decided to go to the river to find out in person, after all, I couldn't think of anything just by sitting here!
Naturally, no one will object to my decision! After we cleaned up, we went straight to the scene of the crime not far from the village under the leadership of the villagers.
After walking for about ten minutes, I saw a small river about five or six meters wide running through the mountains, and on the surface it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it; The wind and sun are beautiful, the blue waves are rippling, and it is a rare beauty! But who would have thought that under this beautiful scenery, several children have died one after another!
"This is it!" After walking a little further, we stopped at a place with stone steps, and the driver explained that this was the place we were looking for!
I settled down and went down to the stone steps, there seemed to be nothing wrong here, and judging by the smoothness of the stone steps, this position should be a place where people from the stockade often visited, but why didn't there be any accidents before, but just this month, one after another?
"How? Did you find anything? Gao Jing saw that my brows were furrowed, and she thought that I had discovered something bad, so she hurriedly asked; The dozen or so villagers heard Gao Jing's question, and they also looked at me nervously.
"Alas! If only I could find it, I can't see anything from the surface of the river! I sighed and spoke to them.
When the villagers heard that I didn't see anything, they immediately began to chatter; Of course, they didn't mean me, but they were also anxiously discussing solutions!
"Can you swim?" Seeing the anxious appearance of the villagers, I suddenly felt that I should go down to the river to have a look, so I asked Hu Yifei beside me such a question nonsensically.
"A little bit!" Hu Yifei answered me sincerely.
"That's it, Master Zhang, you ask the villagers to prepare something for me......" After hearing that Hu Yifei could swim, I immediately asked the driver to tell the villagers to prepare what I needed. The driver's surname is Zhang, so I simply called him Master Zhang.
Of course, most of these things are for me as a landlubber! It's nothing more than diving equipment like oxygen tanks and goggles, and the point is a strong and long enough rope.
When the villagers heard what I needed, they hurriedly found two people to go to the village to get it. Because many people here have fish ponds, these things are not difficult for them to find.
After about ten minutes, the two villagers came back with a lot of things, and I saw that they had brought not only oxygen cylinders and ropes, but also fins, and three sets of them.
"This rope is holding my life, you must hold on to it!" After putting on the things the villagers had brought, I tied one end of the rope firmly around my waist, and then handed the other end to Gao Jing and the villagers who were left on the shore.
In addition to Hu Yifei, there was another villager with better water quality; After all, in the river, if there is an emergency, having a good companion can definitely help a lot.
After agreeing with Gao Jing and them on the signal to pull the rope, Hu Yifei and the villager with good water skills went into the water one after another! Fortunately, when the villagers took their things, they brought flippers with them, although the fins were troublesome to wear, but they could be used in the water; To put it bluntly, with fins, even if I'm a landlubber, I can flutter a few times in the water.
And although it was October, it was still very hot in the south, and we didn't feel very cold after we got into the water; As far as the eye can see, the river is flooded with blue waves, which seems very clear; And the river wasn't that deep, about seven or eight meters, and we quickly got to the bottom.
There was a lot of gravel and sand at the bottom of the water, and there was some messy garbage, and as soon as I stepped on it, the silt at the bottom of the river churned, and my vision suddenly became cloudy, and there was no clarity at all. Fortunately, I could barely see clearly, and I swam forward with my flippers on my feet, just trying to find the water ghost hidden in the river as soon as possible.
However, there is always a faint worry in my heart, because although the water ghost is not very powerful, it is extremely powerful when it is in the water, and it is difficult to deal with.
Not long after I flipped forward, I saw a protruding rock rungs in front of me from the bottom of the river, and there was a man-sized hole in the rock, and the hole was so dark that I couldn't see anything, and perhaps because I was underwater, I didn't notice any yin qi or anything like that.
"Isn't it here?"
After crossing the rocks, the river was still clear without being muddyed by us, but I didn't see anything strange!
At this time, I suddenly felt the rope on my waist loosen, and then I saw that the rope didn't know when it opened? But when I went into the water, it was clearly stopped? Why did you suddenly open it on its own? With a deep question, I hurriedly reached out and grabbed the rope that was about to float away.
