The fat man asked, but Lao Li's face was even more ugly, and said: "Later, the people in the village found out that Hai Niangniang had run away, and some old people said that she would definitely come back to retaliate, and if you want to live, leave quickly, and never come back." But after all, there are not many people who believe in this, especially those young people, they all say that even if Hai Niangniang escapes, she won't live long, after all, that human head has been burned beyond recognition, how can she come back to take revenge. ”

"In the end, the village was divided into two groups, one group supported the move, but the number was very small, only two or three families, and the other group was the majority, and they all stayed, unwilling to leave the village where they had lived for decades. As for our family, it was the two or three families who moved away, and I remember that on the day of the move, many people came out to laugh at us, but my grandmother insisted on leaving, and moved with her family to another village far away. ”

Gao Chao looked at Lao Li and asked softly, "What about those people they left behind?" ”

Somehow, Lao Li's body began to tremble slightly, and when Gao Chao saw this, he hurriedly helped Lao Li to sit down.

He seemed to recall a very painful thing, and only after a long time did he say in a trembling voice: "Just a week after we moved away, there was very terrible news, it is said that someone went to our original fishing village to visit relatives, but found that there was no one in the village, he was very strange, so he went to the beach to look for it, thinking that everyone had gone to the beach to divide the fish, but the result was ......"

His voice suddenly choked, he put his hands on his head, and continued: "He found that the sea was full of corpses, and the deaths of those people were miserable, with gray eyes and pale tongues, and the most frightening thing was that the hair of those corpses was long, long for some reason. Everyone's hair was messily twisted together, like a thick black braid, and it smelled of fish. ”

At this point, Lao Li's choked up had turned into a low cry, and Gao Chao patted him on the back to comfort his emotions.

Later. Lao Li's mood eased a lot, and he said "thank you", but his brows were still tightly locked, and he continued: "This incident happened next to me, and it was rumored at the time, and I also went to see the cremation ceremony of those corpses, because some people said that they died in the revenge of Hai Niangniang, so the corpses could not be buried in the ground, and could only be burned." ”

"But something happened at the beach that day. Just as the corpses began to burn, a large patch of black hair suddenly appeared on the sea, floating on the sea like that, and many people saw it, and they didn't care about the cremated corpses, and all fled to a higher place, staring at the hairs in the sea. ”

Lao Li's mood became tense again, and he continued: "I remember it very clearly. It was also clear that the hairs covered almost all of the sea along the coast. Then he slowly drifted ashore, like a vine that would grow, and crawled towards the corpses ready for cremation. ”

"It didn't take much effort for the hair to cover the corpses, and I saw that the corpses were wrapped in hair, like cocoons. Then all of them were dragged into the sea, and it was not until late evening that the hair gradually dispersed from the surface of the sea. ”

Lao Li sighed deeply and said: "Since then, some of the surrounding fishing villages have been panicked, and no one dares to go to the sea to fish anymore. Within a few years, all the fishing villages in that area were deserted, and people walked and fled, and I also embarked on the road of wandering. ”

Everyone looked at Lao Li's sad face, and they couldn't bear to ask anything more.

Andre was also a little sad, waved his hand and said, "Lao Li, thank you for coming to tell us this, but I see that you must not have slept well last night, so let's go back and rest." ”

Lao Li nodded, stood up and walked towards the door, but before he went out, he suddenly turned around again, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said: "Captain Andre, I know I'm just a cook, but I still want to advise you, don't go into the water, give up this operation, the farther away from here, the better, here...... This may be the nest of the sea lady. ”

Andre's face was solemn, and he waved his hand again, meaning to let him out, but he didn't say a word, obviously he was a little unhappy.

Lao Li was very interested, just sighed, and walked out of the small conference room with a deep groan.

Andre saw that Lao Li had left, and then suddenly as if he had been hit by something, he said to Katyusha dejectedly: "Katyusha, please help close the hatch, thank you." ”

Katyusha was silent and closed the hatch.

"Comrades......" Andrei said in a heavy voice, "what do you think? That old Li is very honest, and I know him very well, so there should be no problem with what he says. ”

The fat man said first: "Just now Lao Li talked about Hai Niangniang, I also remembered, I have heard of this kind of thing a long time ago, it is said to be very evil, it is all changed by the souls eaten by sea fish, it seems that I also heard that this thing was in a certain naval exercise, and it was fought with the army, and many people died at that time for this matter, and there was nothing to say in the end......

As he spoke, his face turned slightly pale, and he continued: "I didn't believe it before, but I saw it last night, and that thing was really amazing, and at first she disguised herself as a figure, and Katyusha and I thought there was someone on this boat, so we followed the sea lady into the room." But who knew that as soon as I entered, there was hair everywhere in an instant, and the sea lady was like a dead man's head, biting towards us, fortunately, I reacted quickly, gave her a shot with the butt of the gun, and then shot and confronted her, and then picked up a life and came back. ”

Katyusha listened to the fat man mention last night's incident, it seemed that her memory was still fresh, she sat down slowly, looking a little weak and haggard, and said: "Last night was really dangerous, if they hadn't saved me later, I'm afraid I would have ......" She sighed and said: "I think you should think about it, although this operation is important, but your life safety is also very important." ”

Hua Ye listened to the words of the two of them, nodded, and suddenly looked at Xia Qing, and said, "Qing'er, do you know anything about this legendary sea lady?" ”

Xia Qing didn't speak, but when Hua Ye asked her like this, she thought for a while and said: "In fact, there are many legends along the coast, although I haven't heard of Hai Niangniang, but most of these sea monsters are very similar, either they are changed by some unjust souls, or what sea monsters have become essences, in short, they are just rumors and stories from hearsay." ”

She looked a little contemptuous, and continued, "As for last night's thing, I'd rather think it's some kind of strange sea creature, even if it's dangerous and aggressive, but as long as it's a creature, we must have a way to deal with it." (To be continued.) )
