Snowy Demon Cave Chapter 18 Crossing the River

Zhan Xian proposed to swim over, squatting down, stretching out his hand to test the water temperature, Li Ruhai grabbed him and said: "This river is deep underground, there is no sun and moon all year round, it is inevitable that there will be some unknown water spirits and fish monsters, or don't rush into the water, I'm afraid it will endanger my life, let's think of other ways." ”

I remembered Lin Xiaoxiao's death, and I was the first to nod in agreement.

There are no dead tree stumps in this place, and it is impossible to find a boat thousands of miles away now, everyone has no idea for a while, and they all looked at Li Ruhai, he sighed slightly and said: "In this way, let's take a good look on this river beach first, since there are traces of artificial carving here, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no tools for crossing the river." ”

Sun Yuanhu suggested that the soldiers should be divided into two ways, me, Zhanxian and Yidaoping in a group, and they were several in groups, one left and one right, and Li Ruhai disagreed: "The fog here is vast, the vision is not clear, in case you lose your way or encounter danger, it may be difficult to rescue you in time, it is better to come and go together." ”

Everyone held up the flashlight, Sun Yuanhu's subordinates and the first two led the way, along the riverside first to the left side of the exploration, this river beach is like a knife and axe, straight forward, the surrounding white fog obscured the view, can only see the black stone under the feet, walked a few hundred steps but always has a kind of illusion of standing still, Yuanshou and Li Ruhai quietly discussed a few words, Li Ruhai ordered everyone to turn around, and go back, this time the back team becomes the front team, I and a knife flat head, at this moment I don't know if it is due to the illusion or the lack of oxygen here, My head gradually became dizzy, and the things in front of me kept shaking, so I quickly took a deep breath of cold air, and slowly exhaled as the dizziness subsided slightly.

Keep walking forward, at first by the stones under the feet occasionally painful, but can also regain a little consciousness, as the feet gradually numb, the things in front of me began to spin up, the white fog suddenly floated in front of me, as if reaching out to touch, but out of reach, the clothes on the body have been completely soaked, bean-sized beads of sweat from the forehead straight to the ground, the heart has been reminding myself, must not faint here, otherwise the consequences are only a dead end.

A ruthless heart, bit the tip of the tongue hard, and after spitting out the blood, the next ** oozing out at the base of the tongue, swallowed it slowly, felt a little clearer, looked at me and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I've had a head injury before, and I occasionally get dizzy, so there's nothing wrong with that." ”

Yuan Shou heard this behind me and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Then he took out a small vial from his bosom, poured out two small black pills, handed them to me, and said, "Press under the base of your tongue." ”

I took it and looked at it, listened to his words, put it under the root of the tongue, the bitter and astringent taste suddenly spread all over the mouth, and then a trace of fragrant cool air went straight to the top of the head, after the two pills were completely contained, the whole person felt refreshed, I asked Yuanshou in surprise: "What kind of medicine is this, so in charge?" ”

He said a little proudly: "This is a unique secret system that I have researched myself, although it cannot cure diseases, but it can refresh the mind and dissolve heat and dryness at critical times." ”

I couldn't help but be amazed, and the boasting Yuanshou was a little embarrassed, and handed me the whole bottle and said: "It's not so exaggerated, in fact, it's some common medicines such as borneol and musk, just give them to you, we can't use them for the time being, if it's really useful, I'll ask you again, remember, it's a medicine that is poisonous, don't eat it as sugar." ”

I carried it into my arms like a treasure, it was beautiful, a knife flat suddenly stopped, with a flashlight straight ahead, he stopped this sudden startled everyone, hurriedly followed his flashlight to shine in unison, only to see a long thing hidden in front of the fog, this thing on the shore, while extending into the water, I feel like, but not sure, and a knife flat glanced at each other, I asked tentatively: "Ferry?" ”

He didn't speak, but walked towards the thing step by step, a few people followed, a knife flat faster and faster, and finally simply ran, a group of people with flashlights began to run wildly on the riverbank, and when everyone ran closer, completely stunned, there was a narrow and low ferry in front of them, the whole ferry was made of black tourmaline on the river beach, the whole body was bright and dark like a mirror, only two fists high out of the water, and a small boat was parked on each side.

Li Ruhai pushed aside everyone and took the first step forward, because this ferry was made of stones, it was extremely slippery, he just went up and stumbled, almost fell into the water, Sun Yuanhu stood in front, and his hands were quick to hold him, Li Ruhai raised his head in horror and waved his hand at Sun Yuanhu, this is the first time I saw Li Ruhai and was scared, it is estimated that Sun Yuanhu is also, stunned on the spot, embarrassed and don't know what to say.

Li Ruhai in Yuanshou and Sun Yuanhu left and right support, walked between the two boats, the shape of this boat is very chic, the hull is low, the bow and stern are raised high, the whole body is made of wooden planks, the outside is covered with the skin of unknown animals, due to the age, the skin has rotted into wisps, hanging in the water along the hull, the most strange thing is that the bow on both sides of the painting a strange white eye, the eye painting is elegant, in the dark background, it is particularly conspicuous, but it is full of evil spirit, The people who watched were uncomfortable, and I found that the ship had no ropes at all, and I don't know what it was holding here.

I suggested that I and Zhan Xian, Yidaoping and Sun Yuanhu's four people in a boat, the three of them sat in the other, Li Ruhai resolutely objected and said: "This river seems to be calm, but it is difficult to ensure that there is no undercurrent reef in the middle, everyone is in the same boat, once something happens, they can take care of each other, if there are two boats, one has an accident, the other can only look at the ocean and sigh." ”

He said before that he was afraid that something would happen and he wouldn't let the soldiers divide into two ways, but this time it's a bit of a strong argument, the size of the boat is here, it's not that you say you can squeeze it, seven people are on the same boat, not to mention the undercurrent reef, the pressure is also sunk, besides, so many people go up, how can they hold it, I found that since he arrived here, he is secretive about everything, how much does he know about here?

Yuanshou and Sun Yuanhu also persuaded him together, Li Ruhai frowned and said: "Needless to say, if you want to leave, get on the boat, and if you don't leave, stay." ”

As soon as he heard this, everyone had no choice but to ask him to pick the boat, he didn't even look at it, stepped into the one on the left, everyone had to follow and barely squeeze in, Sun Yuanhu's men jumped to the stern, picked up the penny of the boat, gritted their teeth in the back and exerted their strength for a long time, and the boat slowly turned its head and floated towards the opposite shore a little bit.

I sat on it in fear, for fear that the boat would be crushed when it came to the center of the river, so I deliberately sat on the outermost side when I got on the boat, in case the boat overturned and was detained in the water, but after walking for a while, I found that the boat actually did not draft, before getting on the boat, I carefully confirmed the position of the side of the boat in the water, when the side of the ship was about an arm's height above the water, and now it is seven of us who are seated, in my imagination, the side of the ship can be left palm high is good, but look down, it is still an arm high, what is going on?

I looked back at the man who was holding the boat, the man was sweating profusely and his face was red, could it be that the river was very shallow, and the boat never floated up? Thinking of this, I used a flashlight to shine into the water, the river water is clear and transparent, the flashlight penetrates the river, but I can't see the bottom of the river, the water is too clear, so clear that there are no impurities at all, let alone fish and shrimp and the like.

I was looking at the bottom of the river, and suddenly under the light of the flashlight, a person swam in the water, saying that it was more like floating by, this person was in white clothes and white pants, and his face was pale lying in the water and floating quietly from the bottom of the boat along the river, I hurriedly shouted: "There are people underwater." ”

As soon as I heard this, the boat suddenly became a mess, Yuan Shou, who was sitting in front of me, and Zhan Xian, who was on the other side, both held flashlights and shone into the river, at this moment, the boat suddenly stopped moving, Li Ruhai turned around and shouted: "What's the situation?" ”

The man holding the boat behind gritted his teeth and said, "Master, it's stuck." ”

At this time, the people on the boat are like bullets in the magazine, one by one, it is difficult to turn around, and there is no way to stand up and go over to help, I used a flashlight to shine around, neither to the shore, nor to the shore, the boat should be in the middle of the river now, thinking of the people who just floated in the river, I can't help but panic.

Sun Yuanhu rushed to the guy who was holding the boat and said, "Don't use stupid energy, think of a way." ”

At this time, Yuan Shou, who had been staring at the river, exclaimed, I hurriedly followed the light of his flashlight, and another person in white clothes and white pants floated from the bottom of the boat, followed by Zhan Xian and Sun Yuanhu also let out an exclamation.

Yuan Shou shone the flashlight upstream, and was stunned for a moment, I followed the past, only to see the water upstream, a piece of white flowers floated in, I stared at the water, and asked myself: "What the hell is this?" ”

"Dead man," Yuan Shou said softly.

Slowly, this piece of white dead people floated in front of them, and sure enough, as Yuan Shou said, their miserable white faces, closed eyes and floating posture really proved that they were all dead people, including men, women and children, dressed, and postures were exactly the same, all of them were in white clothes and white pants, closed their eyes, facing upwards on their backs, and the flashlight shone on them, reflecting a faint white light, from the beginning of three or five, to the end of the whole river, covered with this white corpse, and the river water was also reflected in a faint white light.

Everyone felt a deep fear at this time, this is an indescribable fear, after all, on this ship, are people who regard life and death as a mustard, a few corpses alone can never scare anyone, and this fear comes from the unknown, everyone knows that the sudden appearance of these corpses is not accidental, but what will happen next, no one can be sure, and on this ship, the slightest movement can not be moved, and suddenly there is a kind of sheep into the tiger's mouth, let people slaughter helplessly.

I looked back at Li Ruhai, who was sitting in the middle of Yuanshou and Zhanxian, his face was like earth, his eyes were closed, and he looked up to the sky, at this moment I really had the heart to collapse him, what the hell did this bring us to?

Sun Yuanhu shouted at the boat: "You fucking hurry up, if you can't pull out the penny again, Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

Before he could reply, Yuanshou shouted, "Stop!" Stopped! ”

I hurriedly looked into the water, only to see that the corpse in the water somehow, actually stopped, a body lying quietly below, across the shallow river water, as if within reach, the two sides were so quietly confronted, in front of me was a young female corpse, long black hair spread out in the water, like aquatic plants floating quietly, delicate face, a white dress, if a living person is still a little bit of posture, but now the miserable white face, weird posture, look really chilling.

Yuan Shou suddenly stepped back at this time, bumped into Li Ruhai behind him, and almost squeezed the other side of the preemption, I was startled, straightened up to look at him, only to see him staring at the bottom of the water, his eyes were wide open, his face was full of horror, and his mouth kept repeating: "Moved, moved." ”

At this time, Sun Yuanhu also retreated, bumped into a knife flat, and almost squeezed me down, I was about to scold, but I also shrank back sharply before I took the lead, and I said in my heart What's wrong? Before I could ask, there was a creaking sound from the side of the boat, as if a bunch of people were scratching the side of the boat with their fingernails, and I heard a tingling of people's scalps.
