Among the few of us, the water is worse than me, at the moment when the ship sank, I took a deep breath, just like the plot in the movie Titanic, the hull will sink at the same time there will be a lot of suction, I just feel that I was dragged down by this huge suction as soon as I got out of the water, my hands and feet did not obey the call at all, plus the river was churning, the underwater undercurrent was surging, not to mention adjusting the balance of the body to control breathing, it was impossible to catch anything, although there were a lot of wooden boxes on this fishing boat, but I couldn't catch any of them, the breath he was holding was also spit out because of an impact under the water, and he was choked and coughed, and the whole person was not good.

Just when I thought I was buried here, a man grabbed my hand, and I was pulled out of the water and lay on a large plank, and it took a few seconds to barely open my eyes, and there were many corpses floating on the surface of the river.

I was frightened and didn't care about the churning river, and used all my strength to swim to one of the corpses by the buoyancy of the plank, his face down, I couldn't see clearly, but I knew that this person was not ours, because he had been swollen by the river blister, and when I was looking at the second and third, I suddenly became very bold, and I swam around among the hundreds of river drifters, and after examining a dozen of them, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, these corpses died at different times, but why did they appear here.

At this moment, Xiao Wu dragged Xiao Dong to float up, both of them took a deep breath, their faces were pale, it seemed that they had reached the limit of holding their breath underwater, when they saw me, their faces were obviously much more relaxed, and the three of us quickly gathered together. The river that was tumbling with these drifters swept farther and farther away.

I wanted to ask them if they had seen the boat boss and his wife and Mu Jia, but the river was churning. I couldn't open my mouth at all, and I couldn't get my bearings at all. The three of us were caught in a pile of corpses and didn't know how far they had floated out, and the smell of the corpses around us was so bad that we almost suffocated.

My consciousness began to blur, my eyelids were heavy, although I told myself not to pass out, but finally I slowly lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I found myself lying on the river beach, Xiao Wu and Xiao Dong were also beside me. The two of them hadn't woken up yet, so I went over and pushed them, and the two of them woke up, and the three of them looked at each other without saying a word.

The lead clouds overhead are still there, but the heavy rain has stopped, and I still have palpitations when I think of those river drifters just now, but what makes me strange. The river drifters are collectively gone.

I stood up and moved my arms and legs, and I didn't feel any pain when I was knocked into the water just now. Now that I have eased up, I feel that every muscle in my body is in pain, and I limp to the river. The river was muddy and smelled of earth. I looked at the river and there was nothing.

"What about the others?" I asked.

"I don't know. What is this place? Xiaodong looked around, puzzled.

Xiao Wu sat up, saw that his ankle was red and swollen, maybe he was injured when he was sinking the ship, his face was not very good, but his spirit was not bad, he sat there and looked at his knees, and said, "Xiaodong, you go to the front to see if there is a stone tablet." ”

Xiao Dong followed the direction of his finger, waved his hand at us after a while, ran over and said, "Yes, but only half of it is left." ”

I said, "What is written?" ”

Before Xiao Dong could speak, Xiao Wu said, "The Wu family is forbidden." ”

I looked at Xiao Dong suspiciously, Xiao Dong was shocked at first, and then nodded at me, "Yes, however, the word Wu family is gone, only the word forbidden land remains." ”

Xiao Wu stood up, and walked in the direction of the stele with the support of Xiao Dong, and said: "The stele was erected by the ancestors of the Wu family, and this is the forbidden place of the Wu family. ”

I caught up and asked, "Forbidden land, what is forbidden:"

Xiao Wu stopped, looked back at me, seemed to be waiting for me, saw me catch up, and said: "Wu Jiazu was originally a guest in the Jingwang Mansion in Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, a person who specially collected intelligence for King Jing, because of this, Wu Jiazu had the opportunity to come into contact with a lot of confidential documents, and again, King Jing had a strange illness, and in the middle of the night, he often saw a woman in white asking for his life, and the whole palace was tossed for several days on his back, and the warlocks tried their best to get rid of this haunting ghost, At that time, the ancestor of the Wu family was out collecting information from various countries, and after learning the news that King Jing was seriously ill, he was ready to return to Zhongshan immediately, but on the way they didn't know what they had encountered, and there was no trace. ”

I was a little shocked in my heart, "What about that person?" ”

Xiao Wu said as he walked: "I don't know, later King Jing died of illness, in fact, he was tortured to death by this nightmare, but at that time it was the scourge of witchcraft, and people were panicked, so they could only report to the court and say that they died of illness. ”

I asked, "Then what does this have to do with your Wu family's forbidden land?" ”

Xiao Wu said: "The Wu family disappeared for a long time, and then because the family was defeated, the descendants sat on the mountain, and had to catch up with the war. ”

I nodded and said to myself, "In other words, there are people in your Wu family ancestors who have done this." ”

Xiao Wu shook his head and said: "No, although the Wu family became the captain of the touching gold, but because the Wu family has an average physique, they can't accept strict training, so they are never allowed to fight, just do the work on the ground, and later, the Wu family feels that this is not enough to gain a foothold in the army, so they began to study the astrological art and feng shui secret arts, but these things are not overnight, and soon, the captain of the touching gold was canceled, that is, the Wu family is unemployed again." ”

Speaking of which, we have come to this stone tablet that is only half left, and it is true that the word forbidden land is engraved on the remaining stone tablet below, but these two words are in Huangquan ciphertext, which ordinary people cannot understand.

I asked Xiaodong, "You know the Huangquan ciphertext." ”

Xiaodong nodded and said, "I know a little." ”

"Who did you learn from?" I asked.

Xiao Wu glanced at me, his eyes flickered, and he whispered, "My master." ”

I immediately thought of that Zhang Ye and said, "Oh, you and Zhang Mosheng's old man are brothers." ”

Xiao Dong was stunned, and Xiao Wu said beside him: "What is Zhang Mosheng, he is not right, besides, Zhang Ye has only accepted two apprentices in his life, one is Zhang Mosheng, and the other is my eldest brother Wu Yue, Xiao Dong's master is someone else." ”

I let out an "oh" and didn't think much of it.

Xiao Wu is going to go inside, but I am worried about Mu Jia and the boat boss couple, so I proposed to wait, in case they are also washed here, everyone can also converge, but this suggestion was denied by Xiao Wu, he said that the old couple is perennial on the Yellow River to make a living, what wind and waves have not been seen, we can all survive, they must be more fine, and that Mu Jia, Xiao Wu said that although he did not know him, he had not seen him, but he saw the chaos on the boat just now, He accidentally saw a mulberry leaf-shaped birthmark on Mu Jia's wrist, so he suspected that Mu Jia's identity was suspicious, and he said that Mu Jia was a person who was deeply hidden, and this small disaster would not let him die, so they should be in another place now, but they must be alive.

What Xiao Wu said is very reasonable, in fact, I also think so in my heart, but one more person agrees with my point of view, and my heart is more elegant and down-to-earth. (To be continued.) )
