Sticking his head out of the water, stepping on the water and lifting the swimming goggles, panting for breath, there were very few people in front of him, except for a man and two women and three young people holding a big car inner tube, there was also a person floating quietly on the water, occasionally kicking some splashes with his feet.

The three young men looked like students in the school, the boy had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the other two women, one with a round face and the other with a pointed face, all three had a youthful atmosphere on their faces. As for the backstroker, the water nature seems to be good, and when he floats on the water, he only sees his big belly, judging from the capacity of this belly, he should be a middle-aged man with a successful career.

I moved my hands and feet, put on my swimming goggles, and was about to continue diving, when I heard the boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes say very suspiciously, "Hey, why hasn't the big bear come up yet?" ”

The big bear he was talking about must be the figure that dived in a hurry just now. As I was about to dive, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind - how could this big bear dive so fast? His speed didn't look like he was diving on his own, but like he was being dragged into the water by something.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shout at the three of them: "Does the big bear you are talking about have flippers?" ”

The three young men and women all looked at me in amazement, not understanding what I meant by saying such a sentence without a head, and after a while, the round-faced woman replied: "We are just here to swim, what are we doing with flippers?" ”

Grass, what is the black shadow under the feet of the man who just sank sharply? Could it be that there are water ghosts? My scalp tingled, I took a deep breath and plunged down.

At this time, I am about 30 meters away from the river, and as far as I have known about this place since I was a child, the depth of the water in my current location is about 3 meters, and the bottom of the water is still relatively clear due to the sunlight.

Swimming towards the place where the figure had sunk just now, I saw a muddy mass of mud and sand rolling there from a distance, and occasionally I could see arms and legs struggling to stretch out the mud and sand, but they were soon pulled into it by a black thing.

Damn, if I throw a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder into the water, will everyone who swims in this river be stunned and float on the surface like dead fish? Such a ridiculous thought suddenly appeared in my heart, but the whole person did not hesitate, swam directly to the side of the mud and sand, fell to the bottom of the water, and didn't care about 3721, reached in and fished, this fish directly fished an arm, and suddenly pulled the person out of the mud and sand.

The person in front of him should be the big bear that the thick-eyed and big-eyed man said, at this time his consciousness was already unconscious, his mouth was gurgling bubbles, and his face was hideous, probably because of the water in the trachea, which was extremely uncomfortable. Seeing this, I quickly let go and took a step back, being caught / caught by such a delirious person in the water is undoubtedly a dead end.

As soon as he took a step back, a black shadow suddenly stretched out from the mud and sand, grabbing the young man's arm, as if trying to pull the young man into the mud and sand. This time I saw clearly, this black shadow was a black arm, as if there was a water monster hidden in the mud and sand, and this black arm was this water monster.

Reaching out and feeling the dagger in the mustard pendant, I swam over and slashed at the black hand, and what is surprising is that my knife is like cutting on a piece of black rubber, like a car tire, tough and hard.

Moreover, the black hand didn't seem to feel pain, and was still vigorously pulling the young man, and the young man was struggling desperately, seeing this, I gritted my teeth, swam over and stabbed the black hand more than ten times.

The last knife I used all my strength, and the blade finally inserted into the arm of the black hand, and it seemed to pierce the bones inside, and it felt extremely hard, and then a crisp/numb sensation came, like an electric shock. The black hand seemed to be frightened, and a huge pull came, and I didn't grasp it for a moment, and the black hand retracted with my dagger in an instant.

The mud and sand were still rolling, and I couldn't see what was going on inside the mud and sand, and I didn't know what the monster was tossing inside.

At this time, I couldn't hold my breath, I didn't care about the situation of the water monster, I swam directly to the young man, and was about to punch him in the head, knock him unconscious and drag him up, but found that he had fainted to death. Quickly grabbed / grabbed his hair and quickly swam up, and when I was about to reveal / the surface of the water, I glanced at the mud and sand, and vaguely saw the black hand swimming along the bottom of the water, directly to the center of the river.

As soon as the surface of the water was revealed, I gasped for breath, took off my swimming goggles, looked left and right, saw the three young men and women with panicked faces, and shouted, "Throw the swimming rings over." ”

"But I can't swim." The round-faced girl said in a trembling voice.

"What are you doing here, you can't swim?" I scolded, and in desperation, I had no choice but to grab the young man's hair and continue to swim towards the river.

At last, this place is not far from the river, and there is a sloping slope on the riverside, and after swimming for ten meters, I can step on the stones at the bottom of the water, and stagger and drag the young man to the shore, and at the same time call out to the fat man.

There were already several people around me, and one of them, a middle-aged woman, who seemed to have some experience, directly beckoned me to lay the young man flat on the ground, raise his neck, remove the mud and sand from his mouth, and then leaned forward and began artificial respiration.

Just when the middle-aged woman was helping the young man to do artificial respiration, his three companions had already run over in a panic, and the sharp-faced woman kept wiping her tears, crying and asking me: "Uncle, uncle, can my boyfriend be saved?" ”

I didn't even bother to scold her, staring at the young man on the ground, although the middle-aged woman in front of me was very skillful, but the young man didn't react at all, and at his ankle, there was a black finger print, which was particularly dazzling, and others were talking about the handprint.

"Tell everyone to stop swimming, there are water ghosts at the bottom of the river!" I pointed to the black fingerprint and said loudly to the crowd.

Fortunately, most of the people were playing in the water not far from the shore, and when they were greeted, the people in the water quickly went ashore, gathered around, looking at the black fingerprints on the young man's ankles, with a look of fear. And one of the middle-aged men with a big belly, his face was even more exciting, and his lips trembled slightly, so that the mole the size of a mung bean at the corner of his mouth was also trembling, and this person was the one who was backswimming next to these young people just now.

At this time, the fat man also squeezed in from outside the crowd, glanced at the middle-aged woman who was doing artificial respiration, rolled his eyes, stepped forward and pushed her away, grabbed the young man's two legs, lifted him up with a bang, and backhanded the young man's head and feet behind him, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of others, and jumped and jumped in place like crazy.

"Hey! Fatty, what do you do? The middle-aged woman said angrily.

The fat man didn't pay attention to her at all, but was like a wild boar in heat, jumping up and down happily. Just when the eyes of others looking at the fat man were a little wrong, and they were about to rush up and beat the fat man, wow, the young man behind the fat man finally spit out a big mouthful of river water and woke up.

"Thank you, fat brother! Thank you fat brother! The three young men hugged up and put down the young man behind the fat man, especially the sharp-faced girl, who cried with joy. When the others saw this, they discussed for a while, and then they dispersed.

"Uncle, thank you for saving your life, I am Wen Xiaoxiao from Xingcheng University, this is my classmates Zhang Haotian and Chen Siying, and my boyfriend's name is Zhou Zhixiong." The sharp-faced woman stood up and kept bowing to me and the fat man: "Thank you uncle for rescuing my boyfriend from the water, thank you fat brother for waking my boyfriend up!" ”

The thick-eyed and big-eyed man named Zhang Haotian seemed to be much more sensible: "Xiaoxiao, don't keep calling someone an uncle, this eldest brother is only ten years older than us at most." ”

Teenagers? Is it 'that' for him? Damn, Lao Tzu is only in his twenties, okay! I rolled my eyes and didn't make a sound.

Wen Xiaoxiao sighed, squatting down and wiping the river water and sediment from the corner of Zhou Zhixiong's mouth.

The fat man smiled and said to Zhou Zhixiong, who was lying on the ground with a pale face: "Boy, are you scared?" ”

Zhou Zhixiong nodded, his whole body trembled a little, it was estimated that because of fear, the situation of being dragged into the water by the water monster was not something that anyone could experience.

I smiled and said, "Take a break, hurry back to school, drink some ginger soup, if you are frightened, go to Qifengguan on Haitang Road to find Kong Xuandao, just say that it was introduced by Brother Ghost, and he will help you suppress the shock for free." ”

After speaking, regardless of their thanks, he got up and beckoned the fat man to step aside, and told the fat man what had just happened, and the fat man suddenly said urgently: "Damn, there is such a thing?" ”

I frowned and said, "Since I was a child, I have come here to swim every summer, and I am too familiar with the waters around here, and I have never heard of water monsters here, something is wrong with this." ”

The fat man disagreed with my statement: "Brother Ghost, every year Xingjiang drowns people because of swimming, sometimes three or four, and when there are less, there are one or two, this is a fact." ”

I nodded, vaguely understanding what the fat man was going to say.

"People who have drowned naturally can't tell others whether they have been dragged into the water or because of cramps or physical exhaustion, right?" The fat man smiled: "It's possible that these people were dragged down by the water monster, but you only saw the black hand today." ”

"All over the country, as long as there is water, people drown every year, can this water monster be teleported to other rivers in an instant?" I retorted in passing.

"Brother Ghost, I really don't know what to say about you, is there only one such water monster? Maybe it's an unknown underwater creature, and it's not necessarily that they exist in every river. The fat man sneered: "To exaggerate a little more, in the star river in front of us, there may be more than a dozen water monsters, and you have only met one of them." ”
