I speculated wildly, and my men were not idle, and cut off half of the fishing net with a few knives, and the three-masted boat was originally wrapped around the sea willow boat with the fishing net, but before I could cut off the other half of the fishing net with Shirley Yang, under the undulating sea, the parallel angles of the two boats suddenly separated, and the fishing net was pulled tightly between the two boats, and if the force of the hull tilt was slightly greater, one of the lifeboat and the fishing net would be forcibly broken.

In a great shake of the hull, I leaned back and slammed my body into the cabin, but the ship was so sturdy that it was so weak that my body sank into the white plank of the cabin, and knocked out a big hole.

I thought it was strange and looked back, and saw that streams of blood were pouring out of the hollow of the hull that I had broken, and that the cabin was not made of wood, but simply pasted with white cardboard. Shirley Yang saw the muddy and bloody blood, and her face also changed color, she reached out and pulled me up from the ground, I had already noticed something wrong with the cabin, and hurriedly said to her: "Quickly withdraw, quickly withdraw, this ship is white paper, it is a ghost ship burned to the souls of the dead at sea." ”

The calm water suddenly stirred, and the hull shook so violently that I staggered and fell backwards without roots, and my back was hitting the cabin, and I heard a "click" and slammed the plank into it, and although it was not light, I felt no pain, it felt as if I had hit an empty paper shell.

I looked back in confusion, and the white three-masted ship, about the position of the hatch, had been knocked into a large area by me, not that the planks were rotten and not strong enough, the hatch was simply pasted with cardboard, if it hadn't been for Shirley Yang reaching out and dragging me, it would probably have been impossible to stop the momentum through the cardboard and fall into the cabin. The crack in the hatch was pitch black, and it was impossible to see the situation in the cabin, only the strong smell of blood inside made people want to vomit, and the hull of the ship shook, and blood flowed out along the crack in the door.

How can there be a paper boat on the vast sea? I remember that there was a custom in China's coastal areas to send the five saints back to the sea on a "great heat boat", sending the boat out to sea on a hot day and letting them drift on their own. There is also a peculiar custom similar to chasing the plague, every time there is an outbreak of infectious plague such as boils, similar activities will be held, the use of abandoned old ships, chasing the plague has the meaning of sending the plague god out to sea, generally in the old ship is covered with white paper, and the ship should be tied with a lot of paper people and paper money, in addition to such as knives, spears, guns, all kinds of fishing boats and merchant ship utensils, and masts and rudders are all available, but the white rice can only be placed at most one liter, all of which are donated by coastal boats and fishers, the more things donated on the boat, the farther the plague god will be sent, Such ships usually contain the corpses of people who have died of disease, and at most they are full of dead bodies, which are towed to the open sea by boat and then set on fire.

There was an incident before the liberation, there was a rice shop in the town near the sea. Late one night, suddenly a guest came to ask for rice, because it was dark, the shopkeeper of the rice shop could not see the appearance of the guest clearly, as if he was wearing a long robe, this dress was very strange, a bit like a murderous costume worn by a dead man, and there was a salty smell of rotting corpses on the visitor's body. When asked him why, the guest said that there was pork on the boat, and Lu Yuan was afraid of it, so he took all the fresh meat with salt and fish, but he didn't expect that although the pork had been marinated, it was rotten and smelly because the weather was too hot, and he would find a place to dispose of it at dawn tomorrow. The shopkeeper of the rice shop is a greedy and cheap person, seeing that the price of these rice is very cheap, the only drawback is that the bag containing the rice is a little stinky, but the shopkeeper of the rice shop thinks that even if the rice has the smell of stinky meat, it doesn't matter, you can participate in the takeout, no one can find out. So I didn't ask much else, lit the lantern and weighed the rice, and then ordered the guy to temporarily put the rice in the courtyard first, and the wind passed at night, and then entered the rice warehouse at dawn tomorrow, otherwise it was too smelly, who knew that the next morning I looked, and opened the dozens of bags of rice that fell in the courtyard, all of them were gone, only a grain of rice remained, and there was about a liter of rice in the place, so I knew that I might have hit a ghost last night, and I bought the dead man's rice on the plague ship, and I didn't dare to say anything at that time. Within three days, there was a plague in the town, killing nearly half of the people.

I have heard this legend more than once when I was in Fujian, and all the narrators said that this incident was true, but it did not happen in Fujian, and the specific place where the incident occurred was somewhere along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was an old thing during the Republic of China. At that time, I was young, the world view was immature, and I liked to listen to this strange power and chaos, which made me remember it vividly, sometimes I accidentally remembered that the zombies on the ship went to the rice shop to sell rice at night to send the plague, and I really felt that the back of the neck was a little cold and swishing, so when I saw that the hatch was blocked with white cardboard, the first thing I thought of was the ship of chasing the epidemic, I don't know if the ship was dispersed from the ship that dragged it, and then came here with the current?

My mind immediately remembered this, but wasn't the custom of chasing the epidemic long ago? I didn't understand it for a while, but the concept of chasing the plague ship was preconceived, thinking that this ship was by no means a good place, and if I stayed for a long time, I might infect the corpses in the cabin, and I didn't care to take a closer look, so I hurriedly beckoned Shirley Yang to quickly withdraw the "Trident".

Shirley Jan poked the deck beneath his feet with a fishing knife, making a tomming sound of wood, and said to me, "How can there be a papier-mâché ship on the sea?" The whole ship had the front and rear hatches covered with paper armor, and if the whole ship was paper-paste, it would have been swallowed up by the sea long ago. ”

I thought to myself, although Shirley Young has a wide range of knowledge, after all, she received an American-style education, how many years of history does the United States have? Of course, I don't know that I have a lot of things in China, and there are many strange customs and customs among the people since ancient times, and the current situation is urgent, so how can I take care of it and explain it in detail, and at this time it is the sea fog and the demonic atmosphere is thick, I am afraid that there will be a rice seller in the cabin of the boat that oozes blood, so I don't say more, and immediately take her hand and run to the string of the boat.

In order to prevent accidents, Shirley Yang still swung a knife to completely cut the fishing nets, the two boats lost connection, the hull shook and farther away, the gangplank fell into the sea, and the boat boss Ruan Heikong took the trident to respond with all his might, so that it was all attached to the three-masted boat. A few people on the opposite boat shouted at us, threw the two cables tied to the lifebuoy at us, and I threw away the fishing knife and hugged the lifebuoy tightly with my arm. It seems that if you want to return to the "Trident", you can only cross the sea from mid-empty like the ape.

The deck was very low above the water, but Taling and Guchai were very experienced, and they had already wound the rope high on the top of the ship in advance, and they were about to make a move if they wanted to hold on to the rope and not fall overboard, but the fat man shouted loudly and pressed the beam of the searchlight to the surface of the sea, as if there was something in the water. I looked down at the surface of the boat and gasped, the water was full of shark wings. Attracted by blood, they were coming from all directions, and there were many of them, and they were circling around the boat, because they were so excited, they swam so fast that they were dazzling to see, and if they fell into the water, they would be torn apart in a moment.

The most daring people will feel terrified when they see these sharks, and with their speed and the sharp teeth in their mouths that are better than knives and saws, they prey on people who have fallen into the water, which is tantamount to a tiger pounceing on a sheep. Shirley Yang was shocked when he saw the power of the bloody sharks: "My God, Lao Hu, you can be careful, don't fall down." ”

I don't need her to remind me that I know it's powerful, and I have to remind her: "Don't hesitate, don't ......look into the sea when you pass" At this time, the three-masted ship rose and fell even more violently, and the distance between the two ships expanded again, due to the infusion of seawater, the hull on this side was tilted, and the farther the distance, the more likely it was to fall into the water when swinging past, and there was no time for me to fully prepare psychologically, and it was impossible to walk together, there must be one to lift the other, to increase the height above the ground, To minimize the possibility of touching the water, I held Shirley Yang and said, "You go first, I'll help you......"

Shirley Yang hurriedly said: "No, you have to be reckless, how can you go by yourself?" "When every second counts, I didn't want to wait for her to say more, so I lifted her feet and pushed her up, Shirley Yang was light, pulled the lifebuoy under the cable, brushed the ground and slid across the water, as soon as she touched the lifeboat hanging on the side of the boat, she immediately climbed the string of the boat with her hands and feet, turned to me and shouted: "Come here, the boat is sinking." ”

But at this time, the two boats with the ups and downs of the waves, the distance has been opened, just now I in order to help Shirley Yang swing across the sea, I put my own lifebuoy beside me, did not have time to find a place to fix, the two boats were divided, the lifebuoy was dragged into the water by the cable, the fat man and Gu Chai and others were so anxious to jump on the deck when they saw this, they quickly pulled the cable, to drag the lifebuoy that fell into the water back to the boat, wanted to throw it over again to save people, but it was a little far away, and it fell into the sea again.

There was a big crack in the bottom of the three-masted ship, and the sea water kept pouring in, and although the hull of the ship had tilted, for some reason not only did it not sink, but began to shake, as if something huge on the bottom of the ship had grabbed the bottom of the ship, and if it shook a few more times, the hull of the ship, which was not very strong in itself, was about to fall apart.

I saw that I was getting farther and farther away from the "Trident", and I could no longer see the faces of my companions in the sea fog, and gradually disappeared into the thick fog, only to hear them shouting desperately, my brain was swollen, and I couldn't hear what they were shouting, but when I heard those voices, my heart was a little sour, and a feeling of loneliness arose, did I really want to die at the bottom of the sea with this ghost ship? As the hull of the ship tossed, the blood from the three-masted cabin continued to gush out, flowing down the deck and into the sea. Although there is no light in the night fog, it is difficult to distinguish the situation at sea, but listening to the chaotic sound in the sea water, it is like opening a pot of dumplings, and you can know that the number of sharks gathered around is incalculable.

The ship was blind with black lights, only the lone lamp on the mast was on, I looked around, almost nothing could be seen, so I had to hold the mainmast to stabilize the center of gravity, and turned on the small spotlight flashlight that I carried with me, and finally there was a little light, I shone on the paper hatch that I had broken, the white cabin was stained with blood and water flowing from it, and I couldn't see the original appearance, I thought to myself that it would be better to see what was in the cabin before I died, so much blood, and when I saw the old horse and them below, I also reported truthfully, so as not to be asked three questions, I'm still a fool to death. This ghostly white blood ship bleeds wherever it is broken as if it has life, and if it is a ship to chase the plague, it is not like it, I really want to see what is famous in this ghost ship?

I don't know why, at the last moment, my curiosity always overcomes my fear, and I was about to rush into the cabin to see what was going on, but before I could lift my legs, the hull of the ship sank suddenly, and I scolded the of his second uncle, why did it suddenly sink so fast?

After so many years of training in the melting pot of the army, and doing many times to touch the life of Captain Jin, in this case, after all, I can't wait for death, so I bit the miniature condenser with my teeth, and climbed the mast with my hands and feet, the ship sank fast, I climbed faster, and climbed to the top of the mast in a few strokes, only to see that there was sea fog up and down, and below was the chaotic sound of the sea water surging sharks swimming, and I heard the hair in my heart.

The three-masted ship was sinking faster and faster, and the "Trident" could no longer be seen in the thick sea fog, and I thought to myself that all I could do now was to buy as much time as possible, wait for them to sail back to the rescue, and now I can only hope that the ship will sink more slowly. At first, you could still hear their shouts, but now there is no sound, and the hope has become much slimmer, and it is estimated that the day of victory will never be seen again. While I was waiting for reinforcements to arrive, there was a sudden great wave in the sea, and the leaky three-masted boat suddenly emerged out of the water again, like a leaf fluttering in the wind, and the clouds were thrown up and down by the waves, and under the violent shaking of the sky, the mast I was holding trembled and tilted to break, and it could fall into the water at any time.

The three-masted ship finally began to sink into the sea because of the leakage, the sharks circled in the sea, and the spirit was stimulated by the smell of blood, and the wooden boat was hit by sharks and rattled, I quickly climbed to the top of the mast, but I did not expect that at this time the hull of the ship shook and the part that had sunk into the sea suddenly surfaced, and in the fog I could only hear a loud noise from the cabin, like a dragon chanting a tsunami.

My whole body clothes were splashed wet by the sea water stirred up by the three-masted ship, the wind was blowing in my ears, as the hull of the ship rose and fell violently, I hugged the mast tightly and did not dare to let go, I heard the movement under the ship, and my heart said badly, no wonder the ship leaked and still did not sink, it turned out that there was something in the sea to support it, how big must this thing be? Could it be that all the blood in the cabin belongs to that guy?
