But the problem came immediately, I thought it was just a garbage patch brought by the ocean current, and rushed over with my eyes closed, and in the dark night surrounded by thick fog, the poet in the wheelhouse heard a terrible "creak" sound from the machinery after less than ten minutes of the boat, and then the motor went out, and the old skin went in and got it a few times, but there was no improvement, and the ship broke down!

"This!" Old Leather kicked on the console, and then ran to the stern of the boat with a flashlight to check it, and there were endless debris scattered everywhere on the sea, and there were countless floating objects around their ship, and a piece of battery-thick hemp rope hung on the stern of the boat, and Old Leather suddenly understood that the propeller was entangled.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ling saw that he had a knife in his hand, and Lao Pi was shirtless on the aft deck and said, "When you go into the water, it shouldn't be a big problem to cut the rope." ”

"Can it be done?" Wang Ling was a little worried, and he even began to regret his decision to come out tonight, and when the floating corpse appeared, his heart was a little unsteady. According to the old saying, when you go out and encounter a dead body, it is unlucky.

Lao Pi grabbed the railing and fiddled with the debris in the water, gave Wang Ling a smile, and then jumped into the sea. The propeller was located below the waterline, so the old skin had to hold his breath and dive, and a fierce man went down and groped with his hands, the situation seemed to be a little worse than expected, these damn ropes were thickly wound, and after he cut them with a knife a few times, there were still many entanglements on them that needed to be handled by hand.

Lao Pi's second dive was only about half a minute later, Wang Ling suddenly saw a white wave on the water, at first he thought it was just Lao Pi pulling the rope with a little more force, but after a while, he saw Lao Pi's head suddenly jumped out of the water, opened his mouth wide and just took a breath, as if he wanted to say something, but instantly returned to the water, his hands only briefly waved in the air and sank in less than a second!

"It's not good, something happened!" Wang Ling shouted at the poet in the wheelhouse: "Look at the ship!" Then he didn't care to take off his clothes, and he followed a fierce man into the sea. The depth of this propeller is only one or two meters, Wang Ling did not touch the old skin at all when he went down, in a panic, he opened his eyes and saw a flickering white point of light under the water, and then continued to dive, to a depth of about six or seven meters, a black thing suddenly rushed up from under the water and hit his head directly.

"Hum", Wang Ling only felt that the world was spinning, and his mouth was poured two mouthfuls of seawater one after another because of this impact, and the jerky feeling in his throat made him suddenly breathless and could only float up desperately. As soon as he came out of the water, he heard a "bang" sound beside him, and turned around to see that the old skin was panting with a red face, and the poet immediately pulled the two up when he saw this, and only then did he know that it was the two who collided in the water.

Sitting on the deck, rubbing his head, Wang Ling asked strangely, "Why did you go so deep down, I almost thought I had encountered something." ”

"I felt a brute force pull me down, and I really thought I was going to see Marx." Old Leather said as he took off his wet shoes, and when he exposed his ankles, a bruise made people look a little shocking. The mark circled around his ankle, and the serious places were a little purple, and the old skin touched it with his hand and immediately bared his teeth in pain.

Looking at this injury, Wang Ling gasped, thinking of the moment when the old skin was dragged down and the white thing in the sea, he couldn't help but start to be afraid, how many unknown dangers were hidden in the depths of the sea.

"Is it an octopus or?" Wang Ling had long heard of an octopus in the deep sea, said to be large enough to capsize a fishing boat, and sailors in Eastern Europe used to depict the ferocity of this sea monster with its powerful, sucker-filled tentacles, and a beak as sharp as an eagle's.

Lao Pi shook his head and said, "No, it's too fierce, and I can't say how it feels." As he spoke, he gestured with his hand towards it, and the length of the red mark was just like his palm! Lao Pi seemed to have suffered a lot of blows, and sat there a little decadently, and continued: "I cleaned the rope for the second time, and I was ready to float, and suddenly I felt that my ankle was pulled by something, and then began to sink violently, and after being poured two mouthfuls of seawater, my brain was blank, and the strength was terrifying, and I had no power to resist and suddenly reached twenty or thirty meters underwater." ”

"Is it that deep?" Wang Ling felt that this matter was really a bit incredible, Lao Pi pointed to his ear and said: "I have learned to dive, I know the degree of water pressure change, I will not feel the pain of the eardrum within ten meters, at that time there was only one thought in my mind to live, the ear hurt like a needle prick." Luckily, at that depth, the thing paused for a moment, and I guess it was at that time that you jumped from it and disturbed it, and it was that that that saved my life. ”

"It's a water monkey." The poet said: "In our hometown, there is a saying that after drowning, a person will turn into a ghost and wait until someone falls into the water and then become entangled, so that he can be reincarnated......"

"So it's not strange that your boy's house is liquidated," said Lao Pi, "all day long, gods, ghosts, there are so many strange things in this sea, I can't tell what kind of big fish it is, I took advantage of its pause to give it a knife, and then it was released at once, and when it came up, it collided with you in a daze." But now the motor should be fine, we can try to start it, we need to get out of this inexplicable place quickly. ”

"That's right," the poet suddenly remembered something, he glanced at Li Xin, who was half-squatting in the cab and only showed his head, and said: "Jingjing told me just now that the dead body she saw in the sea is a little familiar, as if she knows it, is the undead real?" ”

"Acquaintance?" Wang Ling was stunned for a moment and said: "I didn't pay attention, I only saw half of my head floating there, as soon as she called me, I quickly stopped going, where can I still take care of it." ”

"I took a look at the rope that was mixed with the propeller just now, it should be new, will there be a ship sinking around here?" Lao Pi looked rough, but his mind was very fine, and he immediately thought: "Did you say that we escaped, and the people on the island followed, and then there was an accident, and the wreckage of this sea ......"

Hearing this, Wang Ling immediately ran to the cab, Li Xin was still trembling with a blanket at this time, and even the accident between the two of them did not pull her back from her previous fear. Wang Ling squatted down and looked into her eyes and said, "Do you know that person?" Is it from our island? ”

Li Xin nodded, then shook his head again, and the old skin was anxious: "Miss, do you know or don't know, human life is at stake!" ”

"I ...... I'm not sure. Li Xin shuddered and said, "I...... I didn't see it too clearly, but it was ...... It's just a bit like ......."

"Like whom?" "Hu Quan......"

"Hum", when they heard the name Hu Quan, several people's heads suddenly dizzy, so who is this Hu Quan?

Although Xuanwu Island is sparsely populated, it is also due to its special geographical location, which is not only a place with developed fishery resources, but also has a subtle relationship with the vagaries of feng shui in the South China Sea. Therefore, the island has its own armed organization, to put it bluntly, it is the militia, and the young and middle-aged people here, excluding their educated youth, such as Da Zhuang, Hu Blacksmith and others are among them. They usually work at sea, and in their spare time, they also have to participate in the construction of national defense with the militia, which is a special product of the complex background of that era, some like the construction corps in Xinjiang.

Hu Quan is the younger brother of Hu Blacksmith, at the age of twenty, he was born with a sturdy figure, dark skin and a height of 1.8 meters, and he was bare-chested and covered with oil all day long, but there was a scar on his face, saying that he was cut by a fast-mouth steel knife placed at home when he was a child. This person is more arrogant, Lao Pi said that the person looks down on their educated youth, and he is considered a person with some prestige among the young people on the island, and he also has a position as the deputy captain of the militia, which is Lao Xing's right and left hand.

And this time Lao Xing went to sea to report the "crimes" of Wang Ling and others, this Hu Quan heard that he went together, so if the person Li Xin saw was really Hu Quan, wouldn't it mean that it was very likely that Lao Xing's boat had an accident?

"Quick!" Lao Pi exerted all his strength towards the right rudder, "We have to go back and find it, if it really is, I can't imagine it......"

It had only been a few minutes before and after he had come, and the distance was really negligible on the sea, but the fog was so great that the ship could only be handed over to the poet at a very slow pace, while Lao Pi and Wang Ling carefully searched for everything that might exist with sticks on both sides. This time, they saw more and more objects floating in the sea, from cracked thermos liners to clothes, fishing nets, barrels and even a flower bowl, all of which proved more and more that their suspicions might be right.

In this small area, the ships searched back and forth, and finally, Lao Pi smashed open a pile of planks with a stick, and a black mass sank for a while and then bounced up, Wang Ling picked up the bamboo pole and tried to get the lamp closer, only to see the back of a clear person's head exposed!
