Although the lights on the giant ship were bright when it came from the dark river, and the lights on the ship were only extinguished after anchoring, I thought at that time that no matter how weird the ship was, there should be one or two living people on it, even if it was an old man like Yang Hongqi whose body had become a skeleton, he was dizzy by Lu Dachuan's pride, like a master who was not afraid of heaven and earth. And now I turned around the ship, and knew that not only could there be no living people on this ship, but even all the equipment on the ship was broken, the lights could not be turned on, and the whistle could not be sounded, so suddenly the lights on the ship were all on again, and I panicked, and the hands that were holding the railing were released in a daze, and my body fell down with a flutter, and my chin hit the ground hard, and I didn't faint in pain.

Lu Dachuan grabbed the mountaineering bag on my back, pulled me up and said, "You kid hasn't moved really yet, why is it soft?" ”

"Accidentally! Accidentally! My dry words couldn't hide my embarrassment.

But no one laughs at me at this time, because everyone is afraid of this situation, and it is not normal to say that they are not afraid.

Hurry up and climb the rope down to the lifeboat to leave, or stay and figure out the weird things on the big boat?

Before we could make up our minds, there was a violent shaking of the ship's hull, and then we heard the chirping of a winch biting the anchor chain and the clatter of the anchor coming out of the water, and with a loud whistle, the ship left the river bank and sailed forward against the wind and waves.

Lu Dachuan climbed on the window next to us, looked inside, and said, "Let's see what the situation is on this ship!" ”

Fearing that the lifeboat would shatter on the large hull, we pulled the climbing rope back and let the lifeboat hang halfway down the hull of the big boat. Then we turned around and walked towards the cockpit at the stern, Lu Dachuan meant that since the ship could be started smoothly, the first thing that would bear the brunt of the strangeness must be the cockpit. So we walked all the way at a very fast pace, as if we were going to be late and people were closing off work.

Facts have proved that Lu Dachuan's idea is right. As soon as we walked out of the cockpit door, we found that the cabin had completely changed, and the original tattered instruments were gone, replaced by a strange instrument that looked like an upside-down round copper tripod.

The instrument was so large that it occupied almost the entire chamber, and each of the three horns that shot into the sky emitted a blue lightning-like line of lightning, connecting the three places on the ceiling of the chamber.

We squeezed into the hatch and looked at it for a while, but we couldn't see anything famous, and we were afraid that the three blue lights were high-voltage currents when we wanted to go in. I asked Lu Dachuan what to do? He hesitated for a moment and said, "Although this thing is weird, it doesn't seem to be dangerous, let's go to the bow of the boat, and when it doesn't leave, let's row a small boat to find the way." ”

"What if it keeps going?"

"Then you can see how long this dark river is and where it can lead."

After making up our minds, we walked along the outboard stairs to the lowest deck, and when we passed a porthole, I inadvertently turned my head and saw a foreign woman with blonde hair inside, wearing a purple evening dress, sitting in front of a dresser and making up in the mirror.

"Why don't you go quickly, what are you looking at?" Lu Keqin pushed my back behind and urged.

I casually said, "Look there's a foreign woman in that room." ”

Lu Keqin grabbed a piece of meat from my waist and pinched it: "I said that your saliva is going to flow out, it turns out that you are looking at women." ”

The heart-wrenching pain made me suddenly realize that it was terrible for women to be jealous, and I didn't want to think what kind of place this was, how could there be a woman?

"Where are women? How can I not see? Liu, who was walking at the back, climbed on the railing of the stairs and leaned over to ask.

"Just ......," I said, raising my arm and pointing to the window, and in the middle of my words, cold sweat broke out on my forehead. For I had just seen that the light was still on in that room, but there was only a pile of rags and a small table with four legs facing the sky.

I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and it was still a pile of tattered clutter: "What the hell! ”

"Don't be suspicious." Lu Dachuan, who walked to the front, had already gone down to the side corridor of the first floor below, raised his head and said, "Come down." ”

At Lu Dachuan's urging, we returned to the lowest deck, came to the bow of the ship, and sat down in a circle.

I turned my head to look at the superstructure of the giant ship, which had as many as seven or eight decks, and saw that there were indeed figures shaking in the small square lattice window panes, and pointed to them: "Can't you see those figures?" ”

Lu Dachuan pressed my arm down and said, "I saw it on the porthole when I put the lifeboat just now." ”

"The time you climbed up to the window to look?"

"Hmm."

"See if it's a person or what?"

"I saw someone inside, and when I looked at the glass, I only saw a room full of clutter."

"Is it true that the legend that the soul of a person dies on a ship is imprisoned forever!?" I kept my head down and pondered.

"Leave it alone." Lu Dachuan took out a cigarette and lit it with Liu Changleg and smoked it, "No one can say these things clearly!" It doesn't come to trouble us, and we don't need to provoke it. ”

"Well, it doesn't matter if those figures are ghosts or not. But what is that big ding? Could it be related to the big head? "Seeing that Lu Dachuan and they were smoking fragrantly, I inexplicably wanted to smoke one too, picked up the cigarette case he put on the deck, took out one and put it on his mouth and didn't light it yet. Lu Keqin took it away: "The little kid doesn't learn well!" ”

Lu Dachuan looked at it and said, "Don't throw it, don't throw it away...... Lu Keqin had already thrown the cigarette in his hand into the water.

Lu Dachuan's eyes widened like bullets.

Lu Keqin picked up the cigarette case and said, "If you stare at me again, I will throw your cigarette case down." ”

Lu Dachuan immediately compromised. Lu Keqin was silent again.

The conversation is back to that weird instrument. "It's a huge possibility." Lu Dachuan said and pointed to the surface of the dark river within a few tens of meters illuminated by several searchlights on the giant ship and the knife-like mountain cliff on the side of the dark river, "Don't you see that this dark river is too wide, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a natural formation." ”

"Judging from the caves we've visited, it's not surprising that the big heads have carved out such a river. But the purpose of bringing such a large ship into this dark river is really unpredictable. ”

Lu Dachuan said: "If you can't figure it out, don't bother with that brain, take advantage of the fact that you have nothing to sleep for a while, and you don't know what will happen in the future." ”

After Lu Dachuan said it, I really felt a little sleepy, but when I saw the figures in the ship, my heart was very unsteady, and I was embarrassed to say that I was afraid to sleep, so I had to say that I was not sleepy.

The wind and waves in the dark river are calm, and the giant ship is moving fast and steady. I wanted to see how the mountains on both sides of the dark river had changed, and I asked Lu Dachuan to come to the telescope, except that the scene within the range of the searchlight of the giant ship was clearer, and then it was dark and mushy in the distance, so I had to put down the telescope helplessly.

Just when we felt idle, there was a loud bang on the bed, and the hull shook violently, and we lay down on the deck in a panic, not knowing what was going to happen next, and we all looked at each other in horror.

After about ten seconds, there was another loud bang, and the hull shook even more. This time we heard the noise coming from the bottom of the boat. Lu Dachuan said: "It's not good, it is estimated that it is in shallow water, and the ship is going to run aground." ”

I saw that the mountain was still receding rapidly under the searchlight, and said, "The speed of the ship does not seem to have slowed down at all, and it does not look like it is about to run aground." ”

Lu Dachuan stood up with his hands on the guardrail: "Strong light." ”

Liu Changleg was half-sitting and half-lying, taking out a high-power lamp from his backpack and handing it to Lu Dachuan.

Lu Dachuan climbed on the guardrail and leaned down to look at it for a while, saying that there seemed to be a huge black shadow in the water, and he couldn't see what it was. I crawled over against the ground, grabbed the guardrail with both hands, and drilled my head out from under the railing to ask where Lu Dachuan was? Lu Dachuan shook the light and pointed to me. Faintly, I could see a large black shadow under the water, which seemed to be still moving, and when I looked closely, it disappeared again.

Lu Dachuan asked, "Did you see it?" ”

"I saw a dark shadow disappear in a flash."

"Look, it's out again, and the port side is back."

I hurriedly followed Lu Dachuan's fast-moving light, but it was blocked by the hull of the ship and I couldn't see it. We stared at the river for a while, but the shadow never reappeared, and the boat stopped shaking.

Lu Dachuan turned off the lights and said, "It is estimated that this section of the river is shallow, and there are big stones in the water." ”

I got up and stood up beside him: "I don't look like it. ”

"Let him go, the ship is so big, even if there is a water monster, he is not afraid."

As if against us, Lu Dachuan's voice fell, and there was another loud bang at the bottom of the boat, and the hull shook violently. This time we looked into the water again, and we all got nervous. Because there was no black shadow in the river in front of the boat, it was obvious that what hit the hull was on the side of the boat, or at the back of the boat.

Instead of a stone, what could be something that would shake a giant wheel?

I suddenly thought of the turtle I was with Zawang: "Could it be that there is also a big turtle in this river?" ”

Lu Dachuan looked me in the eye and said, "Like Zawang's one?" ”

I nodded: "Can you knock the boat over?" ”

"It's hard to say."

The second time I bumped it, it didn't move. We waited for ten minutes in fear, there was no abnormality on the surface of the river, and we thought it was all right, and just breathed a sigh of relief, a huge wave rolled in the water, and a behemoth came out of the water and stood on the starboard side of the giant ship like a mountain......
