Section 047 River of Horror
I hurriedly asked, "What sound?" ”
The owner of the ship said coldly: "It's okay, most of it is touching the reef." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Why, did you rarely take a boat in your life? Before the words fell, there was another sound of "Tong" from below.
Before I could speak, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but say: "Lao Tzu didn't take a boat when he was alive, but he hasn't encountered this situation yet." ”
The crash ensued, and the tin boat became wobbly.
I said, "Are there so many reefs in the river?" ”
The owner of the boat didn't answer, and I seemed to feel that his pale and featureless face was tangled: "Hey, what's going on today, I remember that there aren't so many reefs in this section of the river." ”
I looked at the mist-shrouded river, lit an arm-thick candle, and said in a deep voice, "It's not that I've hit a reef, it's something hitting the bottom of the boat." Look, what's that? ”
The owner of the boat and Zhang Xiaofan looked in the direction I pointed, and in the faint light of the fire, they saw a faint accumulation of black things swimming under the surface of the river.
I couldn't tell what it was, but they were desperately hitting the bottom of the ship, as if trying to overturn it.
I nervously asked the owner, "Is it a fish?" ”
The owner shook his head and said, "The fish can't hit the bottom of the boat, it must be something else." At this, he seemed to think of something terrible, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he paddled harder and harder.
The crash was getting louder and louder, and the boat was shaking harder and harder.
Zhang Xiaofan picked up a spare oar and slapped it down on the river.
"Bang!"
He had a good spot, and he hit a black tuft of stuff right in the air.
The thing seemed to be a little angry, and jumped up the river, revealing the true face of Lushan.
When I saw what this thing looked like, I gasped.
This is not a fish, but a mammal.
It had tan hair all over its body, and looked like a monkey in both its face and body, except that its mouth was hooked down like an eagle's beak, and its tail was long and thin like that of a mouse.
When it stared at Zhang Xiaofan, its eyes seemed to be bloodshot, and its pointed mouth opened and closed, revealing a pair of sharp fangs that showed a fierce light in the setting sun.
Zhang Xiaofan let out the oars in his hand with a "wow", sat down on the board of the boat, and said in shock: "What the hell is this?" ”
Before I could answer, I heard the ship's owner say in horror: "It's a hairy monster!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered a message I had seen in Old Tang's notebook.
In the early fifties of the last century, some people first discovered a kind of monster covered with long hair, like a monkey but not a monkey, in the two provinces of Suiyuan and Chahar in North China, called it "hairy water monster".
These monsters usually roam the shore or in rivers, and occasionally attack lone passers-by.
At first, some people attributed them to the "water monkeys" of the Yellow River Valley, that is, water ghosts. However, water monkeys generally only suck human blood, while hairy water monsters not only suck blood, but also gnaw away human internal organs.
Soon, rumors of this kind of monster spread to East China and Southwest China, and even broke out rumors that "hairy water monsters dig out their hearts, cut eggs, shake their intestines, and send them to the Soviet Union to build atomic bombs", which once formed a terrifying atmosphere among the people.
At that time, not long after the founding of New China, the Kuomintang reactionaries and imperialism were determined to kill themselves and often sent spies to stir up trouble on the mainland and take advantage of the opportunity to stir up dissatisfaction among the people against the government.
For this reason, the government had to come forward to refute the rumors and ordered the arrest of those who spread the rumors, resulting in the deaths of more than 100 people and the arrest of thousands.
Since the rumor has been going on for a year and no one has been able to catch a real hairy monster, most people believe that the creature is just a man-made lie and not a real one.
Old Tang Tou once caught a hairy monster in a river near Tiger Mountain, and found that this son was not a creature in the yang world, but was turned into a resentment by fish, shrimp and crabs that were caught, and could shuttle between the two worlds of yin and yang.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan picked up the oar again and slapped it towards the river, and knocked a hairy monster unconscious.
However, a furry paw reached out of the water and grabbed his wrist.
Don't look at that thing, it's not big, but it has a lot of strength in the water.
It screamed and pulled hard, almost pulling Zhang Xiaofan into the river.
I pulled out the short knife from my waist and slashed at the claw.
A stinking black smoke rose from the severed claw, squeaked in pain, and leaped into the river.
The remaining half of the claws were still tightly gripping Zhang Xiaofan's wrist, and it took a lot of effort to tear it off.
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked: "Why is this thing so powerful? My wrist was almost broken by it. ”
I said, "There is no difference between the aquatic animals in the underworld and the yang, and the strength in the river is already surprisingly great, and it feeds on human blood and souls all year round, and its strength is far from being comparable to that of ordinary creatures. You're lucky to have a life back! ”
"So what do we do now?"
I said, "This guy is only strong in the water, and when he goes ashore, he is just a street rat." Remember not to fall down no matter what, or it will be really doomed! ”
As he spoke, an even more powerful impact came from the bottom of the ship, shaking the tin boat violently.
The owner of the boat was rowing standing up, and at the moment he failed to control his balance and fell into the water.
As soon as he fell into the water, more than a dozen black shadows swam from the bottom of the boat.
I hurriedly handed the oar to him and shouted, "Hurry up, I'll pull you up!" ”
It's a pity that the hairy monsters move faster.
The owner of the ship only had time to let out two or three screams, and his whole body was pierced by dozens of pairs of sharp fangs, and he slowly sank into the water.
There was a sound of rodents grinding their teeth underwater.
I endured the churning in my stomach and rowed vigorously with Zhang Xiaofan.
It's a pity that the level of the two of us is too poor, and the strength to eat milk is still not the essential, and we are in a hurry for a long time, and the ship has not advanced much.
Seeing more hairy monsters surging from all directions, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but shout in despair: "His grandmother's, I knew that I would fight with Qiu Mingyue that day, and I could end up with a whole corpse." Now to be bitten to death by this group of animals, I am really unwilling! ”
I shouted, "It's not time to despair, row now!" ”
Seeing that the small tin boat was about to be overturned by the water ghosts, there was a commotion from the bottom of the boat, and then countless black shadows dispersed in all directions, and let out a frightened cry.
Faced with this sudden scene, Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed and said: "Escaped!" These brutes have escaped, and we can be saved this time! ”
I watched the river and was silent.
Half an hour later, there was a violent impact from the bottom of the ship, which was far stronger than the previous ones.
I quickly knelt down and looked around on the side of the boat, but the river soon returned to calm, as if nothing had broken in.
The river was as silent as death, and the boat lay alone on it.
A chill rushed through the center of the foot, and if there was a big guy at the bottom of the boat, then we would be really finished.
