Chapter 5: Beneath the Depths

In some places, some people who believe in certain things will tie up some live birds not far from the water, which is said to be sacrificed to the river gods, and there are other theories, such as sacrifices to water spirits.

Because the water is cloudy, the river at night looks even more eerie, as if under the water, there are countless drowning corpses that have not been salvaged, staring gloomily at you below.

"It's raining!" Dabao touched his hair, his hands were wet, and he looked up at the black night sky, and the raindrops the size of beans fell on our faces, which were cool.

"Get into the cabin, leave the chicken alone, maybe it broke free of the water on its own."

I beckoned the boatmen to hurry up and leave the boat, so as not to delay here for too long, and then pulled Dabao and Winter Ice to the cabin. The boat boss hurriedly stopped him and said, "Three masters, the chicken is gone, something is going to happen, let's turn around and leave, tomorrow morning, how about I bring you here for free." ”

Dong Bing rubbed his nose, thinking that the old guy was making too much fuss, twisting his collar and shouting, "Isn't it just a chicken, what's going on?" Tomorrow? Tomorrow I will probably see your old man's boat, Ma Yu'er hurry up and start the boat, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will open a few holes in your body now. ”

The old man took a step back in fear, snapped, slapped himself, and scolded himself: "Call you greedy for money, call you greedy for money!" ”

Seeing this, I thought that there might be something strange about this, so I asked, "Is there a saying about a chicken hanging on the bow of the ship?" ”

The captain of the boat looked at the water, turned his head, and said, "You do not live on this water, so you do not know it, but every time you go out at night, you are very particular, and the live birds are tied under the bow of the boat, so that they do not see the boat with the lights climbing up from the water." ”

Dong Bing sucked his teeth, squinted his eyes and said, "Yo, you old guy said this story is weird and scary, come on!" continued, I can't scare us, don't blame the third master for settling old accounts when the time comes. With that, he lit a cigarette and sat down on a wooden bench on the deck.

The rain has begun to get more and more rapid, I can't help frowning, this rain is too strange, a square-faced boatman smiled and said to me: "This is so strange on the edge of the Yangtze River, in the words of those experts now, this is called convective weather, it is easy to form rain or strong winds, don't be strange, I will go to the cabin to get a raincoat for you to wear." ”

When the captain of the boat was about to open his mouth to speak, the swarthy man who had been guarding the bow of the boat shouted: "Chicken feathers, there are chicken feathers in the water, the boss is really in trouble!" ”

Seeing that the face of the boat boss changed, and hurriedly ran over, the three of us were not in the mood to continue urging, so we hurriedly went over and shot a light with the probe pointing downward, and a large number of chicken feathers were floating above and below the water.

At the right time, a big bubble grunted up from under the water, and a big splash exploded, at this time the boatman and the boat boss were so frightened that their faces were colorless, and then, the blisters became more and more, and gradually turned into blood, turning over the blood-colored river, which looked very weird.

I immediately thought that this blood-colored water could be the chicken's?

The captain of the boat said urgently: "There is something under the water, we must leave quickly, and we must not hesitate any longer, otherwise we will have an accident!" ”

After speaking, he hurriedly called the swarthy man next to him to immediately ignite the engine. Wearing raincoats and braving the pouring rain, within a few minutes, the boatman who had just entered ran to the door of the cabin and shouted at us: "The diesel engine is on fire, but it can't turn the propeller, as if something is stuck on it." ”

"What should I do?" I looked at the boat boss.

His face was pale, and although he was trembling, when it came to this point, he spoke hard, "I have to go down and check it, maybe it's something like aquatic grass that is entangled in it, and it must be cleaned up." ”

"But you said there was something down there." Dabao looked timidly at the water.

The boat boss swallowed his saliva and took off his raincoat, then his clothes and pants, and moved his hands and feet and said, "I have to go down, otherwise what should I do?" ”

I was scared from his eyes, but he dared to go into the water, and I had to admire him for a second.

After he finished speaking, one plunged into the water, and disappeared, and after twenty or thirty seconds, there was still no one. I couldn't help but mutter, didn't this guy have an accident? Or did you dive and escape?

But even if the boss of the ship wants to escape, he can't leave his two men alone, right? Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a sound under the hull, and I quickly shone the flashlight over, only to see a miserable white hand slapped under the boat.

We were all startled by the sudden appearance of a hand, followed by a black rumbling head emerging from the water, and I was relieved that it was the captain of the boat.

The two boatmen quickly threw down the rope and dragged him up, and as soon as the captain stepped on the deck, I immediately felt that his face was wrong, and I only heard one of the boatmen take a step back in panic, pointed at the captain in horror, and shouted: "Hair....a lot of hair...."

The back, thighs, and calves of the boat boss were densely entangled with strange black filaments, his eyes were blank, his face was blue, but with a strange smile, he fell to the ground with a pop.

"Hurry up and carry it into the cabin!"

I instructed Dongbing and them to carry the people in, and just after taking a few steps, suddenly the bow of the boat was tilted, and then the whole hull was slightly raised unconsciously.

Now I knew that something was wrong, so I quickly grabbed the swarthy man, followed me into the cabin, and asked him to quickly start the diesel engine, perhaps the captain of the ship cleaned up the things on the propeller, and as soon as it was started, the sound of the propeller turning was immediately heard.

Without saying a word, immediately let the boatmen increase their efforts and rush out of here as fast as possible.

The propeller at the stern of the boat stirred a lot of splashes, but the hull did move at turtle speed, and I immediately rushed to the edge of the deck with a gun from Winter Ice, and pulled the trigger violently under the water, and several gunshots rang out in the cliff-like section of the river on both sides.

I shot a whole magazine of bullets, and quickly repressed the magazine, and suddenly the hull of the ship shot out like an arrow, and I didn't have time to grasp it with both hands, and I was thrown on the deck, and with a roll of inertia, my whole body was hanging outside the deck, and I relied on one hand to desperately climb on the edge, and my two feet were already in the water.

Because of the speed of the ship, I could not climb up with one hand, so I immediately shouted to the deck, "Winter Ice! Dabao! Come and give me a hand. ”

Suddenly, I heard the sound of waves on the river behind me.

I hurriedly turned my head to see that under the dark river, two red lanterns were moving.
