The old woman took us around the village, and there was nothing to attract attention except for the ruined façade, dozens of empty nesters and children.

Every time I do this, I can't help but think of the clues I got in the archives, Wutou Village, Hainan Province. and a number "8".

Maybe it's the same name and different places, but Dong Yu is sure that Wutou Village is here.

The clue is broken, and it is difficult to find out anything based on the photos sent by the uncle.

At this moment, the laughter of a group of children was heard not far away, and one of them was holding a bamboo stick, laughing loudly, "Hit the gourd, hit the gourd," and ran towards the side outside the village.

Don't run far! The old woman laughed and shouted, and when she saw a trace of doubt on our faces, she replied, "You don't know, there is a big tree outside our village, which has existed since I was very young. Since the fruit from the tree resembles a gourd, we all call it a gourd tree."

Out of curiosity, I first walked in the direction the child had left, and vaguely felt that this was the way to go. When the rest of the others saw me leaving, they followed.

I didn't go far, I saw dozens of children gathered under a gourd tree, a slightly older child, the ability to climb the tree is not low, suddenly jumped to a height of three or four meters from the ground, with a smile on his face, holding a wooden stick towards the gourd.

Suddenly, a dark green snake swam straight down from the tree, and if it was bitten and fell from the sky, it was estimated that its life would not be saved. I was just about to make a move, when I heard the sound of the wind whistling in my ears, and seven darts went straight into the snake's seven inches, and the child's face turned pale with fright, and he fell down with the snake. I didn't expect Zhou Li to be so powerful, and a trace of cold sweat overflowed behind my back. The fat man jumped forward, his two thick arms just followed the child, and he didn't forget to raise his eyebrows at Zhou Li.

The child next to him suddenly gathered around, "Thank you, sister, thank you, uncle."

Saying this, the fat man suddenly became unhappy, "Call brother, am I that old?" ”。

The rescued child bowed to us, a look of hesitation on his face, and then resolutely said, "Grandma taught us to repay our kindness." This sister and that uncle saved me just now, and in return. I tell you my most cherished secrets."

We didn't care how much of a secret this kid could have. As soon as the child finished speaking, he climbed towards the tree again, and climbed higher and higher, and when he was eight meters above the ground, the child took a stick to pick up the dense branches, and suddenly a strange scene appeared.

It is said that it is a strange scene, apparently because all the gourds on the tree are blue, but the gourd pointed to by the child's wooden stick is yellow.

I motioned for the monkey to go up and take off the gourd, and the monkey was not at all ambiguous, but seemed much more capable, and jumped up to the tree after dividing it by two, and then cut it off with a dagger.

When I took the gourd, I realized that the so-called gourd was a plastic product, and there was a crack in the middle of it, as if someone had stuffed something into it, and then sealed it again.

I carefully slashed my knife towards the center of the gourd, and with a snap, the whole gourd split in half, revealing a folded map. On the exposed corner are clearly written five big characters -- a map of Hainan Province.

It seems likely that this map will leave a significant direction for our trip. I was lying flat on the ground, with a red circle on the huge map. Dong Yu's face next to him suddenly turned pale, and he whined in his mouth, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

I looked carefully at the place marked by the red circle, which was already the South China Sea region, a place called "Qianli Hai". Dong Yu must know something, and I looked at Dong Yu with a questioning gaze.

Seeing my gaze sweeping, Dong Yu rarely twisted his head to the side timidly, and said in a low voice: "You can't go to that place, when my grandfather was alive, he warned my father, don't go to that place anyway, there are ghost ships in that place!" ”。

I thought it was something terrible, I scoffed and said, "Your book is read in vain, it's all ......", saying, talking, I couldn't help but think of the zongzi I encountered before, and the strange things that are difficult to explain in the books.

After dozens of seconds of silence, Xiao Ye walked up to Dong Yu and gently stroked him: "Yu'er, I am with you!" Don't be afraid".

Qianli Sea is where we have to go. And the photo that my uncle sent us is most likely somewhere in the sea of thousands of miles.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, we rushed directly to the dock, and when the captain who went to sea heard that he was going to Qianlihai, his face changed greatly and he retreated. Just as we were in a dilemma, a bearded captain walked back with a smile, "A few little brothers, everyone calls me Bearded." I just came back from there two weeks ago. If you can afford the rent, I'm willing to take you there. ”。

When I heard the bearded man say this, I was immediately shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Captain, according to what you say, how many people are on your ship, and what do they look like?"

"This?" The bearded man had an embarrassed expression.

I immediately took a few bills out of my pocket and handed them to the bearded man. The bearded man hurriedly put it away and said with a smile: "Just one person, a man, about forty years old, is very generous." However, there is one thing that is still more strange, a man in his thirties gave me money to be a sailor for nothing. But when he came back, he never saw the sailor again."

Hearing the bearded man say this, it seems that there is a person who is secretly following the uncle, with bad intentions, and the uncle may be in danger.

After negotiating a little about the rental, we moved the backpacks and other things from the car towards the boat. The bearded six sailors were very enthusiastic and asked us if we needed help.

The Thousand Miles Sea was not very far from here, and according to the bearded man, we would almost be there in the evening, but this was assumed that there would be no incident.

Fortunately, it was safe and sound along the way, although it encountered some small winds and waves.

Bang!

The ship slammed, and the bearded man shouted at us, "It's time to pass through the fog." Everyone, no matter what you hear or what you encounter, do not speak."

Above the water in front of us, there was already a thick fog that could not be seen as far as the eye could see. Gradually, we were surrounded, and the view around us suddenly became obstructed. The bearded man motioned for a sailor to dive into the water to explore the way, after all, there was no fog in the water.

The bearded man stood at the bow of the boat and shouted anxiously under the water, but he did not get a response, and when the bearded man was about to give up, a scream came from the water, "There are sea ghosts!" ”。

A chill began to spread from all sides, and the ship suddenly fell silent, and no matter how much the bearded man turned the rudder in front of him, it was useless.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and we sat on the board of the boat one after another, and began to hear strange noises in our ears, which seemed to be the sound of bells, and I saw a huge ship faintly appearing behind our boat, and to our surprise there was no one on board.

Don't look! Don't look! The bearded man shouted at us, and he sat in front of him, his face facing forward, behind the remaining five sailors.

The bearded man must have a reason for doing this. We followed, and the sound of bells in our ears became louder and louder, followed by the sound of the anchor of the other ship's holding on to our ship, and it seemed as if something was about to come onto our ship. At this moment, I was very peaceful in my heart, and I didn't feel nervous at all, I don't know if I happened to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean Black Pearl" before. But the fat man next to me, I don't know when, took out a red cloth in his hand, put it on his head, and whispered in his mouth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of footsteps began to come from the board behind us, I put the dagger horizontally in front of my eyes, and my whole heart seemed to jump out of it, the reflection in the dagger, I didn't see anyone on the board, but the sound of walking was very loud, and it was getting closer and closer.

This is the first time I've encountered this kind of weird thing. It didn't take long for me to feel a strange itch on my left shoulder, and a hand was placed on it. I glanced to the left, and there was no one! Then he looked at the fat man, and his right shoulder was also grabbed by a ghost hand, which extended to the ghost boat behind.
