I watched in amazement, and then tried to comfort myself: hallucinations, this is just hallucinations.

The place is remote though. But how could it not have been ancient. It must have been a trick by the water ghosts. I touched my chest, and the talisman was hidden inside. I relaxed, and continued to observe the boat in the distance.

After the man was dragged down by the water ghost, the originally calm water began to splash in waves. The man tossed violently in the water, and after a while his hand climbed to the side of the boat, and then climbed up with all his might.

The woman wept and stretched out her hand to pull him.

At this time, the man's voice suddenly became hoarse and unpleasant, and he smiled miserably, and shouted, "The king has specially ordered me to pick you up." The world is husband and wife, and the underworld is also husband and wife. ”

When the woman heard this, her face turned pale. Hurriedly ducked back. But the man clung to her hand and dragged her into the water.

The woman cried twice in the water, but there was no sound. And on the empty pleasure boat, there were bursts of singing. The boat sang and walked, drifting away and soon disappearing into the darkness.

I stared in the direction of the boat and thought to myself, "What the hell is the water ghost trying to do?" ”

Feeling uneasy, I reached out and untied the big knife from my back and placed it in front of me. If the water ghost appears after a while, he will speak politely to me. That's fine, if he dares to use any tricks on me, then don't blame me for being rude.

After a while, I saw the clouds in the sky disperse, revealing a full moon with the light of the moon. I saw that the water was no longer calm, and it became turbulent and tumbling and flowing into the distance. After a while, I suddenly noticed that there was an extra fishing boat in the water.

At the stern of the boat, there was a fisherman in a short shirt who was trying to hold the pulp. And on the bow of the ship. Then stood a richly dressed man.

The fisherman said, "The Creator has given us life to do our part." And the fishermen were to starve on the wrecked boat, and cast their nets to catch fish. The farmer will sweat like rain in the field and beg for food from the sky. Since you are an official, you should govern the country above the temple, why did you come to my fishing boat instead? ”

The man said, "Above the temple, most of them are flies and dogs, and I don't want to be with them. ”

The fisherman advised, "Most of the truths in the world are similar. The things in the world are probably the same as this river. The river is rolling, how can a small fishing boat compete with it? Reluctantly going upstream, half the effort, even if exhausted, can not make the river flow backwards. I simply went with the flow and let the fishing boats drift in the river, while I took the opportunity to cast my nets and catch fish and shrimp, barely making ends meet. ”

After hearing this, the man pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense." When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. The world is a muddy water, and if you want to keep it pure, it is impossible, it is better to go with the flow, mix in it, and maybe you can make a difference. This is true for fishermen, and it is also true for officials to govern the country. ”

Then, he waved his hand and said, "Please send me back." ”

At this time, a human head appeared in the water, and this human head had obviously been soaked in the river water for a long time, and it had turned white and swollen. He smiled miserably and said, "A good and noble man was actually touched by what the vulgar fisherman said. I'll help you and make your name in history. ”

The water ghost then grabbed the man's feet and dragged him down.

The man threw himself twice in the water, and then there was no movement.

The fisherman stared at the water in amazement, and there was a look of horror on his face, as if the man had been killed by the water spirit, and he was worried about being implicated. After a while, he showed a scheming smile, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "It's a big deal, Dr. Sanlu has thrown himself into the river......

The fisherman shouted this, and then quickly fled into the darkness with the boat. And on the shore began to be a lot of shouts, shouts, cries. The sound of chaotic footsteps, and the violent sound of horses' hooves.

I looked back and saw that not far behind me stood an extremely burly man. He was leading a black horse and was looking at the river.

I sent God to cry out, "Are you here to save people?" ”

But it was as if he hadn't heard me. Just looking at the river in a daze. After a while, I heard him muttering to himself by the river, "Will you be able to make a comeback when you go back this time?" ”

He looked back, and there was a neighing sound from that direction, as if they were chasing him.

The man jumped on his horse and exclaimed ambitiously, "Give me another 8,000 soldiers, and I will lead you to expand your territory and avenge your hatred." ”

The horse carried the man across the river. When he's halfway there. The water ghost reappeared, and he stretched out his pale hand to drag the man down.

However, the man was not afraid of the water spirit, and he drew his sword and slashed it hard at the water. The water ghost seemed to be afraid of his momentum and avoided it from a distance.

After a while, I heard the water ghost crying miserably: "The great mountains and rivers have been lost. A handsome beauty, she kills herself in the tent. There is no country, and there is no beauty. actually has face, and then borrows 8,000 children from his father. I have to ask, the last time I went out with you, did the bones of the soldiers have converged? ”

When the person on the horse heard this, he was stunned. He reined in Jiang's heart. Then take off the armor and throw it into the river. I heard him sigh: "That's it, the country is gone, and the beauty is gone." If you go back, you won't even lose face. I'll just keep that last thing. ”

He held his sword across his neck, as if to kill himself.

And the water ghost smiled: "A mighty hero, draw a sword and commit suicide, it's a pity, you will cheapen us water ghosts." ”

Then he reached out and dragged the man down. Since this man had already embraced the heart of death, he stopped struggling and let the water ghost drag him down.

The horse neighed and swam into the darkness.

The river was quiet.

After a while, the lights around me returned. I found myself sitting by the Xiangjiang River again.

Although it is warm in the south, the river is still very cold in the middle of the night. My feet had been soaked in it for half the night, and they were already numb from the cold.

I was about to retract my feet when suddenly two white hands grabbed my feet and necks.

My hair stood on end. I screamed, and swung my knife at it.

The hands seemed to know the power of the broadsword, and quickly retracted. Then there was a ripple that seemed to run away.

After a while, I saw a figure in white clothes and white pants appear on the river, his face was pale, his long hair was scattered, he looked terrifying, but he had a flattering smile on his face: "Lord Zhao, don't be surprised, is the scene just now still comfortable to watch?" ”

I looked at him suspiciously: "Lord Zhao? ”

The water ghost said respectfully, "Lord Zhao is from Zhongyuan. Naturally, the status is much more revered than we have to honor. "[Wonderful * pen * 閣~] miao pen ge. update fast

I asked, confused, "Do you know me?" ”

The water ghost smiled: "Lord Zhao of Huaicheng, I can naturally recognize it." Then he said with a dry smile: "We have been exiled in this poor country, in the wilderness. There is not a day when I don't miss my hometown, and I hope that after Lord Zhao goes back, he can help us say a few good words, so let's go back. ”

I asked curiously, "You are exiled here?" What happened to what I saw just now? ”

The water ghost said, "The adults told us to do something. But we didn't do it well, which annoyed the adults, saying that we were too ambitious and talented to be useless, so we drove here. As for the scene just now, hehe, it is the exploits of the water ghosts of the past generations that we have collected over the years, so I would like to tell Lord Zhao that our water ghosts are also useful. ”

When I heard this, I gradually understood, I nodded, and said, "I understand what you mean, it turns out that you showed me the performance just now." I want me to know that you are not small in your skills. ”

The water ghost nodded again and again, and said, "That's what it means, that's what it means." And we think that Lord Zhao came from afar to watch a few good shows and relieve boredom. So I arranged such a play. ”

I breathed a long sigh of relief and thought to myself: it turns out that I have met a few unlucky ghosts on this trip. They tried to flatter me, but they scared me half to death
