Chapter 9: Fierce Underwater Fighting
Looking at the cold eyes like a dead fish, I was a little flustered, although I have been patrolling the river for so many years, but in the past, my grandfather came out to take care of everything, but I knew very well in my heart that even if I panicked now, it would be useless, this floating corpse was obviously staring at me.
Worst of all, by this time the sun had sunk to the bottom of the mountain, revealing only a faint halo of yellow, my boat began to sway from side to side, the water was rolling, and the two people on the shore could not see the situation clearly, and the handsome but somewhat mean man said, "What the hell are you doing?" "
syllable
Suddenly, from the dirty splash, suddenly stretched out a soaked and somewhat swollen and white hand, and suddenly caught the side of the boat, my boat was not big, and after being held by this hand, it immediately began to tilt, and the water splashed one by one, as if to overturn the boat. Grandpa once said that in this case, you can't get off the boat even if you die, stay on the boat and fight with the floating corpses, and there is still hope of survival, once the boat is overturned and falls into the water, you will definitely be entangled in the water.
I felt my scalp tense for a moment, and without saying a word, I stabbed the harpoon, which was polished every day, shiny and sharp, and immediately pierced the swollen white hand. I pulled out my harpoon with all my might, lifted the penny, and pushed the floating corpse against it, trying to push it away.
Crash
The water was rolling a little strangely, the floating corpse seemed to have taken root in the water, I used almost all the strength of my body, but I couldn't push it a single step, the boat shook more and more violently, and I had to lower my body to keep my balance. In a hurry, the tumbling water seemed to suddenly swarm to a certain extent, and it was like a grenade suddenly exploding under the water.
Definitely not let it get on board! My heart was furious, but the consciousness of resistance became clearer and clearer. I grabbed my hand at my waist, grabbed the ghost whip that my grandfather had made with his own hands, and threw it out.
My ghost-beating whip can't compare to the ancestral one in the family, but it's also a very powerful thing, mixed with a strand of my grandfather's hair and blood. I haven't seen the old grandfather of the Chen family, and the legend about him is only spread among the children and grandchildren of later generations, grandpa said, the old grandfather is full of masculine energy, and all evils are not invaded, sometimes passing by the mass grave in the middle of the night, the old grandfather roared hard, and he can suppress the ghost fire on the grave.
The secret whip of the river whip flicked on the floating corpse that surged into the water, and the floating corpse that was about to pounce on the boat seemed to be hit by an invisible force, flying upside down and turning over, and fell into the river with a poof. I quickly wiped the water from my face, my eyes wide open, and I watched nervously where it fell into the water, so that I could not miss a trace of it. As long as I take proper precautions and firmly hold this small boat, the floating corpses will float away after being entangled for a long time, and I feel that there is no chance.
This is completely a test of endurance and perseverance, the children who were born in the river family, and the children of ordinary boat families are different, I feel that I can bear it, there is a little bit of pride in my heart, but a little sour, if grandpa is present, he may feel relieved, feel that his grandson has grown up.
However, he could not see it.
"What are you doing here? Is it a mystery? The mean man on the shore couldn't see what was going on because the light was getting darker and darker, and he only saw me squatting in the rocking boat, probably thinking that I was playing some tricks, he frowned and said, "I'm not old, why don't you learn well?" "
"Is there something really wrong with him?" The delicate and gentle girl looked at this side and said, "Didn't you notice?" The body we were trying to salvage has floated away. "
"The water in the river is moving, and it is common sense that the corpse cannot always rest in one place." The man spoke to me very meanly, but he changed his face to the girl, and said with a smile: "Yitian, you still have a lot to learn." "
While they were talking, my boat shook even more violently, as if it had been entangled by a large fish, and the water kept splashing into the boat, and I didn't even dare to blink my eyes, as long as I relaxed a little, the floating corpses hidden in the water might take the opportunity to pounce.

In the midst of the waves crashing against the side of the boat, I suddenly heard a not very clear but very harsh sound, and when I looked down, I saw that a hole had been dug out of the ship's bar, and the river was rushing down the hole into it. I was taken aback, took off my coat and crumpled it up, and tried to plug the hole. No wonder this floating corpse standing upright in the river is called the iron claw corpse by the grandfather, its hands are very strong, if it is encountered face-to-face, it can force a hole in the chest of the living.
But as soon as the clothes blocked the hole in the ship's roof, I felt it be grabbed by the hands of the floating corpse, and then the clothes were pulled out of the hole, and the water began to gush again.
"Go help him." The delicate girl on the shore felt a little uneasy when she saw my blurred shadow swaying with the boat, and said to the man, "He's still a child." "
"It's a child, but his mouth is very hard." The man was a little gloating, but then he took off his coat, showed a body of lean muscles, moved his hands and feet back and forth, slowly walked to the water's edge, and a fierce man plunged into it.
"Don't!" I was in a hurry on the boat looking for the wooden pegs that I had prepared before, and when I saw the man entering the water, I immediately became anxious: "Don't come here!" "
"By this time, the mouth was still so hard." The man's water nature is very good, he peeked out of the water, turned around in a dashing way, swam towards this side, and said while swimming: "You have to drink two sips of water before you are willing?" "
I couldn't help but feel dizzy, if I was the only one, relying on the ghost whip in my hand, I could barely consume it with the floating corpse, and finally consume it, but as soon as this man got out of the water, the situation immediately changed. For the corpses in the river, the river has the ancestral motto of three fishing and three not fishing, but for the living who fall into the water, it must be saved.
The boat was not far from the shore, and the man swam very fast again, and in a short time he was on the edge of the rolling water. He stopped while stepping on the water, looked at me with a smile, and said, "If you don't apologize, you'll be guilty here for a while." "
I was anxious and angry at the time, this second shortage who didn't know the danger at all was flashy, and he had been dragged by Lord Yama to the ghost gate, and he was still in the mood to pretend to be forced here. I shouted to him to let him know that this was no joke, but he ignored me and turned to look at the girl on the shore.
When he turned around, the floating corpse hidden in the water suddenly emerged from in front of him, and the floating corpse appeared very suddenly, which startled him, and he couldn't help but exclaim, and his face turned pale. This person may have come from the city, and he didn't believe that the corpse that died in the river could still be a monster, and after exclaiming, he found that it was the corpse he wanted to salvage before, so he immediately stabilized his mind and spit, trying to pull the floating corpse aside.
My heart suddenly sank to the soles of my feet, and I didn't even have a chance to stop it, and in the blink of an eye, the floating corpse tightly entangled this person and sank into the water. In the water, there are few people who can compete with such an iron-clawed floating corpse, unless it is water-based. The man struggled desperately, but only once, opened his mouth wide and didn't even have time to shout, he poured a mouthful of water into it, and was dragged down again. This time, he didn't get up again, and the water calmed down as if nothing had happened.
"What's going on! What's going on! The delicate girl on the shore was also anxious, but she probably didn't know how to water, so she could only stand on it and be anxious.
I quickly plugged the hole in the boat with a wooden peg, and when I stood up straight, I felt as uneasy as a donkey kicking. If no one went into the water to save him, that person would definitely die, I hesitated to save him, but as soon as the thought came to me, I remembered how my father died back then.
But can I just watch it and leave it alone? The man was mean-spoken, and looked down on the countrymen, but at the end of the day, he went into the water to help me. Our Hezi family has walked on both sides of the Yellow River for so many years, and the principles of life are clear. If I don't care about it now, it will be a taboo for my grandfather.
I only hesitated for a few seconds, because the time was too tight, and I made up my mind. The girl on the shore was so anxious that I didn't speak, just looked at her, grabbed the harpoon with one hand, took a deep breath, and jumped into the water with a poof.
Water-based is not exactly the same thing as the swimming technique that ordinary people say, and water-based is not about how deep the fierce man is in the water, how long to hold his breath, my grandfather taught me, I have no culture, the explanation is not clear, in short, it is a little complicated. As I entered the water, my eyelids rolled and a thin, almost transparent film covered the entire eyeball. This may be the inheritance between the descendants of our Chen family, the descendants of the serious Chen family, there will be a layer of film like cataract under the eyelids, wrapped in the outside of the eyeballs when they go into the water, they can see, and the grandfather was passed on by the people of ten miles and eight towns, in fact, it has something to do with these.
The light under the water surface is very dim, the eyesight can not play a full role, and the feeling is also very important, when the man goes into the water, he may have a flashlight in his hand, and at this moment, the flashlight light that is constantly turning up and down in the water has become an obvious target. I could see two almost entangled shadows swaying in the water, the man couldn't hold on, he didn't have much ability to resist, he was dragged by the floating corpse, sinking deeper and deeper.
I held the ghost whip in my hand into a circle, and then swam over quickly, and after approaching them, I circled back and forth twice, seeing the opportunity, the ghost whip was put on the neck of the floating corpse from behind, and my feet were on its back, and my hands were desperately pulled backwards, only in this way could I grasp a little initiative and find a way to drag the floating corpse out of the water and then to the shore. As long as it can be supported to the shore, it can be easily cleaned up.
Grandpa used to deal with those floating corpses in this way, I felt that I had done nothing wrong, but after all, I lacked experience and strength, so when I dragged the floating corpse to float up, the floating corpse's body suddenly turned, and it turned around from the confinement of the ghost whip, and before I could do anything more, one of its hands reached over and stuck my neck tightly.
