Chapter 30: The Ghost in the River

I screamed so loudly that the man didn't respond, and he was still walking into the river.

"Big brother! …”

The bank of the river was bare, and I threw off my stride, almost slipping, and finally rushed to the place where the man was. By this time, the man was several meters away from the riverbank, and the water had reached nearly his waist.

I didn't even think about it, in order to save this man, as soon as I lifted my foot, I stepped into the water... Here in the west of Ya'an, close to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the temperature is not high all year round, and now on this rainy night, the air temperature is more than ten degrees, and the water in the river is even cooler.

Flowing through the cold water, I came to the man and reached out and grabbed his clothes on the back.

At the same time, I felt a token with my other hand and hit the water in front of the man...'snap', and after the token entered the water, the man's body shook and then stopped.

"Big brother?" I'm busy.

"Huh?" The man turned his head, looked at me, and then looked around, "Where am I?" ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked into the water, it was dark, I didn't see anything, and I didn't know what the 'white thing' I had seen when I stood on that big rock earlier, what it was...

"Come with me..."

I grabbed the man's arm, and the two of them turned around and walked towards the riverbank. My physical recovery ability is quite remarkable, when I was in that old village, I was beaten to death by those villagers, and I was given hanging injections, and there was nothing wrong in one day. At the moment, the right leg muscle is strained, and it is also more than a day, although it is not up to the freedom to jump, but it is not a problem to walk, but it is not good as soon as it enters the water... Pulling this man, a few steps to the shore, my right leg suddenly cramped, and I almost didn't fall into the water in pain...

"Oops..."

"What's wrong?" The man asked.

"It's okay... Oops... Hurry on, hurry ashore..."

The two of them continued to walk, and when they saw that there were still less than two meters from the shore, the man suddenly stopped.

"Big brother..."

I endured the pain in my leg and dragged him, but the man didn't move, I realized that something was wrong, and I turned my head to look down, so scared that I opened my mouth all of a sudden... Just behind the man, right under the surface of the water, close to him, there was a white thing...

I didn't have time to think at all, out of instinct, I raised my foot and kicked, my leg jerked, I didn't stand firm, I fell into the water, hurriedly landed on my feet, and narrowly supported my body, at this time, I felt a cold right ankle, entangled by something...

It was a weird feeling, the ankles were cold, like a dead snake was wrapped around it, and the white thing, dangling in the water, looming, there was no doubt that this thing must have done it... I hurriedly touched my hand into the pocket of my raincoat, and found a magic weapon, and when I was about to hit it into the water, I glanced at this magic weapon, and I stopped, because this was the lonely magic rune that I had taken out of the dead body's mouth... This kind of talisman is very precious, there are only a few left, the water in this river is flowing, once this talisman is hit into the water, it is equivalent to playing the water...

I hesitated for such a moment, and suddenly felt that my right leg was pulled by a force, but fortunately I reacted quickly and reached out to support the shoulder of the man next to me. Just as I was straining under my feet, for fear that the force would pull me down and pull me down in the water, I felt that the man next to me was not quite right, his body was stiff, and he was holding his shoulders like holding a stake...

I was startled, and I turned my head to the side to realize that this man was actually twisting his neck to look at me, and by the faint light of the water, I saw that his two eyes were straight into each other...

I didn't care about going underwater, and hurriedly shouted, "Big brother...", the man didn't speak, I screamed again, and when I was about to push him, he suddenly raised his hand to block my arm, and then grabbed my shoulders with both hands, and pulled me into the water...

This man's strength is unimaginable, and he can't move me in the slightest. I tried my best to fight, but my body still fell into the water little by little, and when my head was still more than a foot away from the water, I thought of the Lonely Void Rune that I had been holding in my hand... Looking at this man like this, he must have hit an evil spirit, I want to use this charm to take care of him, but under the clamp of his powerful hand, my arm can't be lifted at all...

Just as my head was about to hit the water, I heard a 'plop' sound above my head, splashing water in my face. Then, the force that held my arm was gone, and I was unsuspected, driven by gravity, and I plunged diagonally into the water... Stimulated by the cold water, my brain became chaotic, and after choking on a large mouthful of water, I struggled to get out of the water, and not far away there was a 'plop' sound, and there was a splash of water, which felt like someone had thrown a stone...

When I was in a daze, I heard Uncle Yang's voice coming from the shore, "Xiao Leng, hurry up!" ”

Then, the man grabbed me and dragged me to the shore, and when I got close to the shore, Uncle Yang grabbed my other arm and pulled me up. After going ashore, after walking seven or eight meters, three people sat down on the ground...

The rain was still falling, and when I looked at it from a distance, the water on the river was hazy and calm, as if nothing had happened before.

"Uncle, I'm here just in time, right?" Uncle Yang asked with a smile.

I shivered with cold and gave a thumbs up.

"Grandma's, what's that thing in the water?" Uncle Yang asked.

I shook my head, my teeth chattering and asked the man, "Big brother, why did you come here?" ”

"I don't know..."

The man said that he slept in a daze, as if someone was calling him, and in a trance, he seemed to get out of bed and walked out of the house...

I thought about it, pointed to the river in front of me, and said, "Look at it, is this river the one you said you said, the one where the body of the little Red Army soldier was found?" ”

After I said this, the man looked around and said, "That's it, why did I get here?" ”

I felt a chill in my heart, could it be that that thing in the river was the soul of that little Red Army soldier? Because the man had mentioned him earlier, he called the man in? …

"Don't care what it is..."Uncle Yang said, "It's raining endlessly, your clothes don't want to dry, wrap them on your body, you have to be sick, hurry up and find a place, dry your clothes..."

The three of them supported each other and returned to the village where the Red Army had been stationed. Under the man's guidance, we came to a dilapidated house at the back of the village, went in to find a place where the rain did not leak, found some dry wood, lit a small fire, and sat there until dawn...

"I have to go back." The man said.

"It's okay, otherwise my sister-in-law will hang." I said, "We can't go with you, can we trouble the big brother to send those things back to us?" ”

"No problem..."

After the man left, Uncle Yang said, "Xiao Leng, do you want to find out what that thing in the river is?" We're looking for those Ran people now, so let's leave that thing alone..."

"Well, whatever that thing, I thought, since we're here, we might as well ask in this village to see if we can ask for clues that are useful to us."

Uncle Yang thought for a while and said, "It's okay." ”

"Uncle Yang, you wait here for the man to come back, I'll go to the village to ask, and when the time comes, after the man sends our things back, you will stand on the village road and call me..."

Leaving the dilapidated house, I came to the village road, and saw that every house was smoking. The rain hasn't stopped, so there's no one on the village road.

I am worthy of the 'electronic killer' described by Yu Xin, the mobile phone was damaged by water last night, and there is no phone line in the village, and it seems that there is no phone installed, so I don't know how to contact the master and them.

knocked on the door and came to one of the houses, where a bachelor lived, and talked to him, but got no clues about Ran Min. I thought to myself, if Master and they can't ask for clues, then we will have to follow the circle I drew on the map and look for it in the dark... That's quite a large area, the mountains are dense, and there is no clue, when will this be found? … Judging from Boss Cao's actions, they, like us, are also looking for those Ran Min, but they don't know what the purpose is, and I don't know where they are now, whether they have found it...

Staring at the rain curtain outside, I thought for a while, but I didn't hear Uncle Yang call me, it should be that the man hasn't come back yet. I said to myself, I waited like this, why don't I ask about that little soldier of the Red Army...

Talking to this bachelor, what he said was similar to what the man said. I heard it, but I didn't hear a reason. Suddenly, I thought of the temple I had seen last night, and interrupted the man and said, "When I came here just now, I saw a temple on the hill on the other side of the river. ”

"Temple?" The man was stunned.

"yes, the one on the mountain."

"You said that, it was the Red Army that asked me to repair it back then."

"Oh? Why let the temple be there? ”

"I forgot if you didn't mention the temple, it seems that it was because the little soldier of the Red Army deceived the corpse..."

This man told me that according to what his father told him when he was alive, the incident of the little soldier of the Red Army who had defrauded the corpse of the Red Army had caused panic and alarmed the headquarters of the Red Army. The day after the little soldier's body was burned, the headquarters sent a long-eyed Red Army cadre to investigate the matter thoroughly. The cadre wandered around for two days, and finally let a temple be built there...

"Did he say why he wanted the temple to be built there?" I asked.

"Nope..."

What comes to mind? I think of the ruined temple where Yuxin and I hid during the landslide in Stone Village, and the temple is said to have been repaired by 'Master Xu' when the Eighth Road was withdrawn...

Suddenly, I heard Uncle Yang call me, "Xiao Leng, Xiao Leng, where are you?!" ”

"Here! …”

"Hurry up and come out, your master and they're here..."
