Chapter 12: The Words of the Cocoon

The surprised expressions of several villagers made me feel that something was wrapped in that cocoon-like mass. Originally, I also wanted to see it with my own eyes, but the target was too big in the boat, and if I couldn't get to it, I would be stopped by the people who were teaching it, so I could only pull a local fellow and ask him about it.

"What the hell is that, it's scared to death!" The fellow stuck out his tongue, swallowed his saliva, and said, "The fool who scuttled the shipwreck a few days ago is wrapped in a cocoon!" "

"Is that him?" I was also stunned for a moment, the boat that was rehearsed a few days ago was scuttled by a fool himself, and there were more than one or two villagers who witnessed the sinking process at that time, and from beginning to end, they didn't see the fool escape, so they all thought that the fool must have sunk to the bottom with the boat and died.

But no one could have imagined that the fool would appear, and in such a way. It's not that people who walk the river have never seen strange things, but many evil things mostly happen at dusk or at night, and when the sun is poisoning, the river will not be too bizarre. People who walk the river rarely walk at night unless they are forced to do so, and this is the reason.

"Master Liu." Someone on the big boat found out the situation, turned around and said to the goatee sitting on the Taishi's chair: "It's a person we lost a few days ago." "

"Don't go into the water first, get it up and see." The goatee may be a person who has seen strong winds and waves, although he is very stumbling, but his bearing is extraordinary, and he drinks tea lightly, and his expression is calm.

When the people on the boat received the order, they began to prepare for salvage, and the cocoon floated on the water, and it was not difficult to fish it up. However, before the instructor could do anything, the water around the cocoon suddenly rolled again, which undoubtedly showed that there must be something abnormal under the water, as if something wanted to get out.

Crash

As soon as the water splashed, a white porcelain jar floated out along the turbid water, followed by several shiny Tang Sancai floating together, and this time it was out of control, and all kinds of chaotic parallel goods surfaced like a gathering. The people on the ship took a few looks, and they all began to shout, saying that these were the parallel goods contained in the wreck.

Parallel goods, all of which are salvaged from the river, anyway, from a long time ago, people who salvage parallel goods have always existed, and after so many years, parallel goods are still endless, as if they can't be finished. Why there are so many things in the river, I have guessed, I have discussed with some friends in the past two years, and the most reasonable and convincing point of view is that the Yellow River has been diverted many times in history, once the embankment is broken and diverted, the area flooded by the river is washed over, some people believe that the Yellow River basin is the birthplace of Chinese civilization, rich in human history, it is the Yellow River that has been diverted countless times, and many ancient tombs that were originally located on land have been washed away, and the burial goods in the ancient tombs have been rolled away with the river and washed into the new river. Deposited at the bottom of the river. These funeral goods are the origin of parallel goods, whether this statement is accurate or not, I dare not express my opinion, many years of experience have made me understand a truth, I can't eat things accurately, you must not talk nonsense, otherwise it will mislead others, but also give yourself a wrong signal.

The value of this batch of parallel goods was very expensive, and the people on board were surprised and delighted, and the small sampans around the big ship began to move, trying to catch the parallel goods. The scene was suddenly a little chaotic, the goatee paced to the bow of the boat, looked down, frowned, and said, "Don't panic first, tell the brothers who are down to stop." "

I estimate that the goatee should be a very important figure in the Paijiao in this watershed, there is no leader in the Paijiao, when the platoon was released in the past, there was a platoon leader in several queues, responsible for vibrating the drum and opening the way, which was the absolute core of the platoon. Later, the leader of the platoon evolved into a leader in the de facto sense of the word. But I know that the goatee is not the leader, and I've heard that the leader of the river is a woman. But Goatee had a lot of authority, and as soon as he spoke, the busy mess of the crowd immediately stopped.

"It's too wrong for parallel goods to come out, don't act rashly." The goatee squinted his eyes and stared carefully at the surface of the river where the water was tumbling, and this old man was like a well-grown yellow skin, with triangular eyes with the ultimate shrewdness.

Just when the people on the boat and the people on the shore were staring at the water together, those churning splashes gathered together rhythmically, like ten thousand flowers becoming lotus. The water splashed layer by layer, and suddenly, a big fish at least one meter long jumped up from the water, like the legendary carp jumping over the dragon gate, the fish's tail flicked, and the water rained all around.

The people present were all people who had been on the edge of the Yellow River all year round, and at the moment when the big fish jumped out of the water, many people immediately noticed that it was a carp, a huge white carp, which was extremely rare. The scales on the white carp seem to be carved out of white marble, shining in the sun. In those years, the ecosystem in the Yellow River was not seriously damaged, and fishermen occasionally caught red-tailed carp more than a meter long, but it is estimated that anyone who has seen such a pure white carp is the first time to see it.

"Master Liu! A white fish! White carp! Someone yelled and reported to Goatee.

At this moment, even the goatee could not sit steadily, shook off the teacup in his hand, and ran to the bow of the boat in two steps, and the white carp kept jumping up and down from the water, and the tail of the fish slapped on the surface of the water again and again. The goatee's thin body began to tremble, and there was a greedy light in his eyes that could not be concealed.

"Grab it!" The goatee trembled for a while, rumbled twice in his throat, and then cried out, "Catch it for me!" "

All the people were ready when the parallel goods first appeared, the goatee shouted, and a few sampans approached the place where the white carp appeared, and some jumped directly from the big boat, and some took out harpoons and fishing nets, and threw them down, and the people who jumped into the water tore open the fishing nets and quickly surrounded them. The white carp was quite alert, and when he saw that people began to catch it, he immediately burrowed into the water and was nowhere to be seen. The busy crowd suddenly jumped into the air, several people pulled the fishing nets and were stunned, and there was a churn about ten meters away from them, and the shadow of the white carp came out of the water.

"Where! Where is it! The goatee stood at the bow of the boat with a wide field of vision, and the moment the white carp reappeared, he immediately noticed it, and immediately stretched out his hand to direct the people around him to chase after him. The goatee looked a little crazy, knowing that it was almost impossible to catch a big fish like this, but he was still unwilling.

The people who arranged the education immediately adjusted their direction and swarmed towards the white carp, the fish swam unhurriedly, and it would surface from time to time, it completely attracted everyone's attention, and the people who lined up the teaching did not care about blocking the scene, and the villagers along the shore swarmed and ran with the people on the water, wanting to see clearly.

I was hesitant to join in the fun, but I knew that with the speed of the boat under my feet, even if I followed, the white carp would be gone. However, such an opportunity is once in a lifetime, I was still young at the time, and I was very curious, and after hesitating for a while, I decided to go and have a look.

I used the penny to shore a little, but suddenly I noticed that the boat was rowing a little sluggishly, as if it was stuck in a sticky water. Subconsciously looking down at the water next to the boat, I immediately felt my scalp tighten.

I don't know when, the translucent cocoon-like thing floated silently to the side of the boat. Everyone, including me, was so focused on the white carp that if I hadn't looked down, I wouldn't have noticed that the cocoon had drifted away from its place.

The fellow was right, it was so close, I saw a person wrapped in the cocoon, I had never seen this person, but I knew in my heart that this was the only surviving fool on the ship that had an accident.

What is this cocoon floating for? I panicked, and I couldn't help but push it with the penny, trying to push it farther away, this thing was too close, and it would make people's hearts hurt. But the moment the penny touched the cocoon, the cocoon suddenly cracked, and in this way, the fool who was wrapped in it was completely exposed to my eyes.

I can't tell if he's dead or not, but it's a little scary, this man is in his thirties, with a scruffy beard, his eyelids are rolling upwards, and only half of his black eyes are showing in his sockets, and he is looking motionless at the sky above him. The more I looked at it, the more unsteady I became, and I subconsciously wanted to hurry up.

But people have a cheap problem, the more things that make them feel scared, the more they want to see the truth, as if they won't die if they don't see it clearly. I tried to leave as I held the boat hard, but I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the fool in the cocoon. Judging by my judgment, the fool should be dead, no one can live that long in the water.

Suddenly, the fool's motionless eyes rolled to the middle of his socket, and he lay in the cocoon, his eyes gurgling a few times, although his head did not move, but his eyes were already fixed on me.

"Go" The fool's throat seemed to be blocked with a mouthful of phlegm, whimpering, his mouth moved, and a few syllables were muffled: "Hurry up"

I was stunned, the fool in the cocoon didn't seem to want to attack me, he floated over there, just to say something to me?

I didn't know how to communicate with him, so I secretly stopped the boat and looked at the fool.

"Hurry up and don't follow," the fool muttered again, his voice hoarse and dull.

At this moment, I couldn't understand what the fool was trying to express to me, it was a very strange thing, I had never met the fool, it was very strange, and yet he found me from such a large number of people, what did it mean?

I lay on the side of the boat, trying to try to communicate with the fool verbally, and I didn't know if he could speak properly. asked a few words in a row, and the fool always said the same thing.

"You! Who are you! "

I was trying to figure it out, and from the big boat not far away, I heard the sound of a goatee, and when I looked up, he was standing in the bow of the boat, and I don't know when he noticed me, the goatee was condescending, and he could clearly see that the cocoon had floated to the side of my boat, and his eyes were poisonous, and he seemed to be able to tell that I was talking to the fool in the cocoon.

"Let's go!" The fool muffled again. I panicked a little and involuntarily stood up and propped up the boat to leave.

"Stop! Stop it! When the goatee saw that I was leaving, he immediately beckoned to the two big men beside him and said, "Go!" Get me that baby! "
