Xiao Wu and the three suddenly became interested, the little Taoist priest had been staying in the Taoist temple, and he didn't know what a water ghost was, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Old man Xing, what is a water ghost?" ”
"That's what you ask." Lao Xing touched his beard, "It's the boat that runs on the Yellow River." ”
The little Taoist priest shook his head, still a little confused, "Then what does this have to do with the water ghost." ”
The fat man smiled and said that this is actually the title before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Yellow River is the mother river of our Greater China, and since ancient times, there has been a custom of throwing sacrificial supplies into the Yellow River.
"In the past, science and technology were not developed, and they could only rely on manpower to salvage, ten people went down to fish, and nine people became ghosts, so they were called "Yellow River water ghosts". The fat man smiled slightly, "Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, science and technology developed, and the water ghosts switched to boats, but the name of the Yellow River water ghosts did not change, and it was passed down." Now it's become something similar to faith, old man, I don't know if what the younger generation said is right? ”
Lao Xing nodded, "I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable, so I'll talk about it later." ”
Lao Xing said that it was when he was in his thirties, and at that time, he was the most well-known water ghost of the Yellow River in ten miles and eight townships, firstly, because the place he contracted was good, in a place of sedimentary bend, there were a lot of things underneath, although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one threw copper cattle and copper horses into the Yellow River, but the industrial waste in this water, steel and other things were completely enough for Lao Xing's family to eat and wear. The second is because Lao Xing's water nature is excellent, he is a well-known master of going down the river, as long as he is not the most dangerous time in the whole year, he can come back alive, this ability is not available to ordinary people, only he can do it.
Lao Xing said that he remembered that it was October, the sun in the sky was still very hot, and he drove the boat, and he didn't catch anything good in the morning, although this is normal, but Lao Xing was anxious, so he let the workers go to eat at noon, and drove the boat on the river, hoping to fish out something valuable.
He was driving the boat, and suddenly felt the plow under the boat rattle, as if he had hooked something, and hurriedly walked over to check, and at a glance, he found that a whirlpool appeared on the surface of the Yellow River.
We knew that there was a whirlpool in the river, that is, the silt at the bottom of the river had collapsed, so he hurriedly put the rope of the plough to the maximum, in case he hooked something sinking and fell with the current, then he should capsize.
The general collapse is basically about three to five meters, but this time Lao Xing's rope was released for fifteen meters to the end, which shows the size of the hole below.
Lao Xing drove the boat and tried it, his broken boat is not very powerful, you think about it, who can get a good boat on the Yellow River, isn't it, after dragging it for a while, he found that this thing seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't drag that thing up even if he changed several directions, and he suddenly became a little anxious.
So Lao Xing called all the workers who were eating, among them there was a baby named Three Donkeys with excellent water quality, in this area, except for Lao Xing is him, and this baby is less than twenty, and it is also exciting, so Lao Xing thought about it, and told the three donkeys to go down to see what it is, if it is any tatters, cut the rope and let it go.
At that time, people were poor, how could there be any oxygen cylinders or anything, and they completely relied on holding their breath, so they had to find a good water, so the three donkeys agreed with Lao Xing that if they encountered any danger, they would pull the rope three times, and you must pull me up when the time comes.
Lao Xing nodded, and said Don't worry, I didn't do it on the first day, and I specified that I could get it back for you.
So the three donkeys didn't talk nonsense, caught up with the quiet and unusual Yellow River today, and didn't think much about it, tied a rope to their waists, jumped down and jumped in.
Lao Xing and a few people were waiting on the boat, and at first the rope slowly went down, about ten meters down, but suddenly it didn't go down, and it was always fixed there.
This is a hurry Lao Xing, Lao Xing he counted the time, this kid has been down for more than two minutes, this gas should be almost used, why this rope seems to be thrown down There is no reaction at all, it stands to reason that even if this child is still a little angry, it should be shaken for a while.
The rope hung quietly next to the boat, Lao Xing paced for a while, and found that the child had not moved, gritted his teeth, and his heart could not be delayed any longer, and he pulled the rope!
Everyone waited for Lao Xing's order, and immediately began to pull the rope, which was okay if they didn't drag, only to find that the other end of the rope had an incredible force, Lao Xing and the other four old men were stunned and didn't pull.
Lao Xing immediately knew that it was over, this was really an evil thing, and hurriedly ordered the guy to start the boat, and with the strength of his broken boat, he pulled the rope up a little in front of him.
Lao Xing's current boat has two ropes hanging underneath, one is tied to three donkeys, and the other is tied to the climbing plow, and the rope tied to the three donkeys can be dragged up more than two meters, and the rope tied to the climbing plow is violently straightened.
A fellow immediately ran over and cut the rope tied to the plough with a knife, and the rope was pumped into the water with a "snap", and the boat was without the plow, and the horsepower also came up, and the engine buzzed and began to start slowly.
Lao Xing was anxious and sweaty, calculating the time, the three donkeys had been under for four minutes, and it would take at least five minutes to pull up at this speed, not to mention the three donkeys, even if they pulled it up by themselves, they would definitely die.
Just thinking about it, as if in response to Lao Xing's thoughts, the other end of the rope that tied the three donkeys suddenly loosened, as if someone below suddenly let go, and was suddenly dragged up by everyone more than two meters.
Everyone can still think about it, it is important to go to the special mother's rescue, and quickly pull it up, the rope seems to have lost weight suddenly, although it is also very heavy, but it is much lighter than just now, and now the boat is also open, and it will not take long to pull up the other end of the rope.
Lao Xing was overjoyed, and before he could look there, the guy in front of him suddenly shouted.
"Look what that's that!" "It's a coffin! It's a coffin! "What about the three donkeys? What about the three donkey people! ”
Lao Xing hurriedly walked to the side of the boat and looked down, and sure enough, there was a huge blue-green coffin tied to the other end of the rope, which looked like it was bronze, and it was so corroded that it couldn't be seen clearly, so it was pulled up by everyone.
The people under Lao Xing's men were stunned.
It was very unlucky to pull the corpse in the Yellow River, and now a coffin was pulled out, and everyone remembered clearly, this rope was tied to the waist of the three donkeys, and now how it was tied to this thing.
But if you catch a dead person or something, you must let it out of the water, this is the rule set by the ancestors, otherwise the dead man will come to lift your boat the next time you go out of the boat, so the big guy has no idea, and he doesn't know whether to throw this thing away or what.
Lao Xing gritted his teeth, the rules can't be broken, otherwise he won't be able to eat this mouthful, but the three donkeys can't help it, so his eyes widened, and he said in his heart, I want to see what tricks you have under here, and I jumped down all of a sudden.
When he got into the water, he was immediately filled with yellow things all over his eyes, everyone knew that the Yellow River was yellow, and now after Lao Xing went down, it was like being blindfolded with yellow sand, and he couldn't see anything.
He thought about it, and now there is a coffin in the position where the three donkeys should have appeared, so the three donkeys must have swam to another place by themselves, and it is very likely that the plow was stuck at that time, so he roughly distinguished it and swam to the position where the plow was stuck just now.
