After a few minutes, a bright spot loomed in the darkness of the upper reaches of the river, and it grew larger and larger.

Is there really a ship? I can't turn my head.

"Pack up my stuff and find a place to hide." Lu Dachuan said.

We hurriedly packed everything into our bags, knocked down the "alarm" wall, hid behind a relatively large rock, turned off our flashlights, and watched in the darkness at the closer and closer bright spots on the riverbank.

In less than ten minutes, the bright spot turned into a large group of three-dimensional lights, which looked like a brightly lit building moving rapidly, and a huge light in front of it hit sideways on the side of the river on our side.

"What ship is that big?" Lu Dachuan took out the binoculars, raised them to his eyes and immediately exclaimed, "My mother! Hit the hell, it's a huge ship. ”

"Giant ship?" I was shocked, took the telescope in Lu Dachuan's hand, and saw a large steamer on the river in the distance, which was more than 100 meters long and no less than 15 meters wide, with a rusty appearance, sailing towards us in the wind and waves. If you look closely, you can see that there are figures swaying in the brightly lit cabin.

Putting down the binoculars, three words popped into my mind: ghost ship!

When we lost our minds, the ghost ship actually leaned against the edge of the cliff where we were, and the waves caused by the fall of the giant anchor rained us like rain.

When the boat came to a stop, the lights on the ship went out one after another. There was darkness all around us again.

We listened with bated breath for a moment, but we didn't hear the slightest sound of people talking or moving on board.

After waiting for a while, there was still silence all around, and I couldn't hold my breath anymore: "Which of you pinched me, are we dreaming?" ”

In the darkness, several hands reached out to me at once, and one by one pinched harder and harder. Someone else asked, "Is it a dream?" ”

"Hey, it's not a dream, let go!"

A few hands were withdrawn, and I didn't know where to rub them.

Lu Dachuan said: "Since it's not a dream, you stay still, I'll go over and take a look." ”

I was afraid that Lu Dachuan would disappear again, so I climbed up: "We have to go together, we can't have any more accidents!" ”

Liu Changjiao, Lu Keqin, and Lin Xian'er also stood up.

Lu Dachuan was silent for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

We pulled each other, touched the distance, stumbled and stumbled to Lu Dachuan, who was at the forefront, and only stopped when he stepped into the air. After standing for a while, feeling the dull sound of the giant ship occasionally colliding with the riverbank, Lu Dachuan asked us to hold him, stretched out his arm and tried his best to touch it forward and said, "I reached the hull of the ship." ”

"Far away?"

"Not far."

As soon as I reached out and touched the cold, rough hull, I tried to ask, "Do you want to go up and have a look?" ”

Lu Dachuan replied: "The ship is too big, I'm afraid it's not easy to get up." ”

Liu Chang's legs trembled and said, "Your brains are not broken, this is a ghost ship!" ”

My heart was pounding, but I gritted my teeth and said, "A ghost ship is also a ship, it's better than nothing!" ”

"There's a kind!" Lu Dachuan turned on the flashlight, "Just say this to you kid, there is really a ghost on the boat today, and Lao Tzu will also know it." ”

Lu Dachuan said proudly, my chest burned instantly like a cylinder ignited by a spark plug, and the fear in my heart disappeared without a trace as if it was burned to ashes, bent down and picked up a stone the size of a steamed bun, knocked it on the hull of the boat a few times, and shouted at the top of my voice: "Is there anyone on the boat?" Put a ladder down if you have—"

Lu Keqin grabbed me tightly, and his fingers sank into my flesh.

Liu Changjiao pulled me and shook me twice: "Dog, you're crazy!" ”

I thought to myself, "I'm forced to do this, what else can I do if I'm not crazy?" But he said: "You know a fart, Shuang Ye, this is called salute first and then soldier." ”

Liu Changleg rolled his eyes at me.

Lu Dachuan shook his flashlight and took a look along the raised tall hull and said, "Liu Peng, prepare the rope." ”

Liu Changleg quickly took out the rope that he desperately grabbed back on the wall of the hole, found a rectangular stone on the ground, tied it to the end of the rope, set aside a meter long and made two laps in the air, and said: "Boss, you should come, my arm is a little unable to lift." ”

Lu Dachuan took the rope, picked it up twice, and let go, and the stones flew towards the deck of the ship with the rope. After hearing a few clanging sounds, the rope that flew out in an arc fell from the sky and hung on the hull of the ship. Lu Dachuan tried the firmness of the rope, looked back at us, put the flashlight in his mouth, pulled the rope and kicked the hull with both feet, "poo" climbed up, when his head exceeded the side of the ship, he looked around, grabbed the railing with both hands and pulled up violently, his legs retracted, his body drew an arc of ox x in the air, his feet fell on the deck, he drew a knife in his hand and watched for about a minute, and then turned back and made an "ok" gesture to us.

A few minutes later, we were all on deck. Liu Changleg put away the rope, and Lu Dachuan led us carefully across the deck to the cabin.

Although I felt that the fear had left me when I was under the ship, when I went to the deck, I saw that the black superstructure of the ship looked like a long-abandoned ghost building, and I couldn't control my heart and became afraid, especially after entering the narrow and closed corridor that connected the various chambers and tombs, my heart was beating wildly.

Lu Dachuan shone his flashlight everywhere as he walked, muttering to himself and as if to say to us: "It's strange, this ship is rusty and dilapidated everywhere, and the floor is clean and polished, is there really someone on board?" ”

Listening to Lu Dachuan's meaning, he didn't believe that it was a human to dock the ship, drop anchor, and then turn off all the lights on the ship, so I said, "How can there be no one?" When the lights on the ship were not out, I saw in the telescope that there were people in the cabin. ”

"I saw it too, do you believe it's human?"

"Don't scare me, what is not a human?"

Lu Dachuan asked rhetorically: "Do you know the age when this ship was built?" ”

I shook my head: "I don't know, before I got on this boat, I paddled a duck boat with my feet with my classmates in the park lake." ”

Lu Dachuan said: "Although there are no obvious signs on this ship, judging from the hull structure, it should have been built in the thirties and forties, and then looking at the degree of corrosion, it has been floating on the water for at least more than 50 years. ”

My mouth opened into an "o".

Liu Changleg took the opportunity to sarcastically say: "When you didn't come up, weren't you quite bold, and you smashed the boat with a stone and asked people to put ladders, I thought you were not afraid of heaven and earth!" ”

I thought to myself, "I'm going to get dizzy." But he quibbled: "When you see a house and someone tells you it's a morgue, can you feel the same as when you walk in and see a corpse lying straight on the bed?" ”

At this time, we passed by a boat room, Lu Dachuan stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door of the boat room opened with a "squeak", and a rancid smell came to my nose. I covered my nose and looked inside, and saw that the room was filthy, the walls were mottled everywhere, and the floor was littered with items piled up, almost all of which were so rotten that they were unrecognizable.

Lu Dachuan glanced at me, meaning that you should believe it now, and then leaned in half of his body, dragged the door back and closed it.

I was in a cold sweat on my back, and I thought to myself: no matter what I encounter on the boat, I can only fight.

We continued along the passage for a while, turning a corner and a steel staircase appeared next to it. Lu Dachuan grabbed the guardrail on the stairs and shook it a few times, feeling quite strong: "Let's go, go to the cockpit and have a look." ”

Lu Dachuan led us up the stairs, walked to the side of the boat, and walked straight to the stern.

I was curious and asked, "Isn't it going to the cockpit?" ”

"It's going to the cockpit, what's wrong?"

I looked sideways, "How do I feel like we're going to the stern?" ”

Lu Dachuan explained to me: The cockpit of a ship is not only in front of the car like a car cab, but some of them are in the bow of the ship, which is called the first floor; Some are in the middle of the ship; It is located in the stern of the ship is very common, so that the information from the bridge can be transmitted to the engine room, and if it collides with other ships, it is also possible to control the ship so that the cockpit is not harmed.

As we spoke, we walked down the portside corridor, climbed another flight of stairs, passed through a door, and entered the cockpit of the steamer. The cockpit was as dirty as the ship's interior, especially the bird droppings on the windshield of the cabin, so you could barely see the outside of the ship. And the various instruments I don't know are also covered with dust, and in some places there are even cobwebs.

Lu Dachuan was circling in the cabin while chattering like chanting: switch the control box, switch the control box......

After several turns, he seemed to have found it, and I saw him press a lot of buttons on one side of the cabin and said, "All the lights and signal switches are not working, and there is no power on the ship." ”

Liu Changleg grabbed a handle and pushed it back and forth a few times: "It's impossible for the whistle to chirp!" ”

My head was beaten: "This one doesn't work, that one is also bad, is the whistle we heard and the lights we saw before hallucination?" ”

Lu Dachuan thought for a while and said: "If this is a car, as long as there is fuel, it is possible to repair and repair the ideal way to drive out, but such a big ship will not be able to drive even if it can tinker with the engine." I think so, when I came up, I saw a lifeboat hanging on the side of the ship, let's go see if it can still be used. ”

"Great idea!" I immediately agreed, "Now a little duck boat with one foot is much more reliable than this behemoth!" ”

"There's a lot of, give you a duck boat, you kid can't step back when you're tired."

We returned to the deck and came to the side of the water near the ship, where several lifeboats hung in a row overboard. Lu Dachuan looked up for a while and said: "The boat frame and landing gear are estimated to be rusted, I'll go up and take a look first, if the boat is okay, let's tie it with a mountaineering rope and put it in the water." ”

Lu Dachuan put the flashlight in his mouth, climbed the guardrail on the side of the boat to one of the lifeboats, and took a few steps forward, and stepped on a hole in the bottom of the boat, if it weren't for the sturdy frame of the boat, he would have leaked from the bottom of the boat. It scared our hearts fluttering.

stepped on one and missed one, Lu Dachuan then climbed into the second one, turned back and forth several times in it, and jumped on tiptoe twice, the boat was trampled by him and squeaked, it was not rotten, let me take the rope up.

We tied the boat with ropes, pulled off the ropes that had been holding the boat, and lifted the boat up with one end and gritted its teeth, and as soon as we sent it out, we hung the boat in the air outside the frame.

When I put it into the water, Lu Dachuan was afraid of damaging the climbing rope, so he didn't let the rope rub against the hull of the boat, so he let the volley go down, and my two arms were so sore that I almost fell off my shoulders before I put the lifeboat on the water.

Hand the rope head to Liu Changshan, and they led it and climbed down from the rack. Lu Dachuan tied the climbing rope to death on the guardrail on the side of the boat and said, "You climb the rope and go down to get ready first, and I will untie the rope and then jump down." ”

Liu and I climbed onto the guardrail, and before we could lift our legs, the lights in all the cabins on the giant ship were inexplicably turned on again.
