Everyone was stunned, and suddenly hearing Professor Lin say this, Wu Sidong couldn't help asking, "Teacher, what's going on?" ”

Professor Lin explained to us that this is not a space-time tunnel, in fact, this similar phenomenon is very common at sea, it is a mirage. This thing, also known as 'mirage', is a natural phenomenon formed by the refraction and total reflection of light, this phenomenon is more common in deserts and coasts, and the folk novels have mentioned 'sea market'. This phenomenon seemed miraculous in the past, but now it is not a big deal to crack it, but it is just a reflection of the distant scene. The warship we saw earlier should have been located far away, but it was only through the total reflection of the water molecules in the sunlight that the scene we just saw was formed.

At this moment, the sun is getting hotter and stronger, and the warship disappears as the activity of water molecules decreases.

In other words, we are deceived by the illusion, and this fish bilge floor is dismantled in vain. After Professor Lin finished explaining, everyone stared angrily, and looked back behind them, the reef belt and the ship were already invisible, and it seemed that we had fallen short and had to row back. Just when everyone was dejected and about to paddle back, Gu Wenmin suddenly said: "Hey, it's so strange, look below." She pointed to the sea water below her, and when I looked down, there was nothing else in the sea, and the visible range of the sea water was also clear, and there was nothing unusual to find, and everyone couldn't help but stare at her. Duan Fei didn't have a good deal with her, so he said in an unkind tone: "What's the matter, I'm surprised." ”

Gu Wenmin frowned slightly, ignored Duan Fei, and said, "Didn't you notice that our raft was moving forward by itself?" ”

Since there is no reference at sea, it is really not possible to feel whether the raft is moving forward or not, but even if it does, it is not surprising, after all, there are currents under the seabed, and it is normal to go with the flow. I was a little stunned by Gu Wenmin's words for a while, she didn't attract attention for such a trivial matter. Seeing that everyone didn't react, she shook her head and said, "Be a real yàn and you will understand." She suddenly reached into her pocket, and after a moment pulled out a small notebook. That's her work notes, I wanted to read it before, and I was clapped by her, women always have some little secrets.

This book was dried for two days before it was completely dried, and after opening it, most of the handwriting inside was paste, Gu Wenmin tore off a piece of unused paper casually, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the water. Soon, the paper ball was propelled by the current and headed towards our rear.

Tofu said: "Can you see anything from this?" ”

Gu Wenmin said: "You all look at the oars again." "She is not a person who can pretend to be a ghost, and she is more reliable, so everyone looks at the oars half placed in the seawater, and this look feels that something is wrong, the water pattern of the oars, and the direction in which the paper ball floats away, are completely opposite!

The paper ball is carried away by the current, and if our ship is also moving because of the current, then the direction of our water ripple expansion should be the same as the direction of the paper ball. Originally, we didn't have a reference, so we couldn't detect the abnormality, but Gu Wenmin connected the paper ball and the wood pulp to make a reference, so that we could see the situation we were in at a glance.

It turns out that we are not drifting with the current, but against the current.

In the case of paddling, it is normal to go against the current, but everyone has already stopped paddling just now because of the warship, so how can the raft go upstream? The only possibility is that there is some strange force pushing us! Tofu's rich imagination immediately made a variety of speculations, saying, "Will there be fish hiding under the raft?" I've heard that dolphins are very fond of pushing things that float on the surface, and maybe we have dolphins underneath our rafts. With that, he took a deep breath and plunged his head into the water.

After only a few moments of plunging into the water, he raised his head, stammered with a watery face, and almost bit his tongue, and said, "Really, really, there really is something." ”

Duan Fei exclaimed and said, "There are really dolphins." ”

I was shocked, and I thought to myself, let the dolphins carry it, God knows where it will go, and it is better to expel them. Just as I was about to plunge into the water to see what was going on, Tofu grabbed my arm violently, shook my head, looked very strange, trembled all over, and said, "It's not a dolphin...... Yes, it's a person, it's that little girl. ”

"Hiss......" A-Ying gasped, covered her mouth, and stared at her speechless. As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence, and a strange atmosphere permeated everyone, I even wondered if Tofu was joking, but I knew him, although he was usually unreliable, but when he could joke and when he couldn't, he was still very clear, and with his pale face at the moment, my heart suddenly chuckled.

Little girl...... She should have been killed, how could she be under our raft? This is definitely not a coincidence, is it the yin spirit, or is it arranged by that Tang Jiangze? What's the point?

I settled down, patted the hand on my shoulder with the tofu, and said, "I'll take a look." "In addition to me, there are also four people, obviously none of them are sitting still, the five of us took a breath together, plunged our heads into the seawater, opened our eyes, and sure enough, there was a person attached to our raft, as if stuck to the raft. The man was not large, and he had a very wide coat on his body, which was spread out under the impact of the current, like a jellyfish, but the specific appearance was not clear. But just by virtue of the clothes and figure, it is expected that it is also the little girl.

Why is this happening?

Could it be that this little girl or is she doing something wrong with his father? Where is she going to push our ship?

As I was thinking about it, there was a sudden movement outside, and I felt a violent vibration on the raft, as if the people on the raft had suddenly stood up.

What happened? I had planned to salvage the little girl to have a look, but the raft shook my head out of the sea, and I shook the drops of water to look back, only to see that the rest of the people on the plank were standing up. Tofu immediately said to me, "There's a meadow ahead. ”

Grassland?

I said, "You've got grass in your head, right?" Everyone looked different, and I didn't know what I found, I couldn't help but stand up and look, and I was dumbfounded for a while, yo, there is really a meadow.

At the end of the horizon, the blue sea has disappeared, and a green stretches across the place where the sea and the sky meet, like a large meadow.

How so? I couldn't help but turn my head and ask the carp, "Is there a big island in front of you?" This island has a lot of greenery. ”

The carp hurriedly said, "We deviated from the course due to the storm before, and I'm not sure where we are now." As he spoke, he spread out his palm, and the index finger of his other hand was erected, standing in the center of his palm, facing west, and looked at the light and shadow left by his fingers, probably using a more primitive measurement method to position. After a while, he said: "It's more biased, I haven't been to this area, but this area is not such a big island...... Could it be ......" As if remembering something, he suddenly gasped and said, "Is it a cannibal spiral?" Not good...... Quick, back off, we can't go to that place. ”

As soon as the carp said about the man-eating spiral, I was shocked, because when I used to sell fish, I heard from fishermen and friends on the beach about the man-eating spiral.

It is a spiral seaweed, which mainly floats on the surface of the sea, and is a new creature that was discovered only 30 years ago, and some people predict that it may be due to marine pollution, and it may be a mutated plant produced by marine pollution. Sometimes when the ship is moving, those things will pop out of nowhere, and by the time the crew reflects it, it has already stretched out of the cannibal spiral pile.

The seaweed was indistinguishable from regular spirulina on the front side, but red on the reverse, with a zippered opening in the center and barbed inside, where any sea creature, including humans, could eat it. When they are full, they will turn over, and then the sea will turn blood-red. This thing is full of food and drink, basking in the sun, and photosynthesizing, and it will dive into the sea to rest, and the dragon will see the head and not the tail, like an ogre on the sea, which is daunting.

As soon as the carp said this, I also reacted, of course, there can be no grass on the sea, the large green on the horizon must be a man-eating spiral, and what is even more terrifying is that we are now going in that direction!

Could this be what Tang Jiangze and the little girl meant?

What are they trying to do? Revenge?

We didn't deliberately leave the little girl, at that time, everyone had no ability to save people, is it because of this, that we are going to be killed? After listening to the description of the cannibal spiral, Duan Fei immediately became nervous, and kept saying, "What to do, what to do?" The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and suddenly my heart darkened, and I said, "Scoop up the corpse and expose it to the sun!" "I don't believe she and her dad can still be a monster under the scorching sun.

The people immediately understood what I meant, and No. 1 and No. 2 entered the water one after another, and without much effort, they salvaged the little girl. I only looked at it, and I felt sick in my heart, after soaking in the sea water for three days, the corpse was already swollen, as if it would rot if I pinched it, and it was bruised and purple, like a swollen balloon, and the little girl who was sluggish but beautiful before was completely invisible.

Although I came up with the idea of a violent corpse, when I really looked at it at this time, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, thinking that Tang Jiangze did everything possible to entrust his daughter to us, but in the end, his daughter also died a tragic death, and his heart must be unwilling. But after thinking about it, if it weren't for saving Tang Jiangze, we wouldn't have provoked the ghost worm, let alone caused a storm, and ended up in this situation, it really doesn't make sense for him to blame us.

When I think about it, the uneasiness in my heart also dissipates, sometimes when people do bad things, they have to learn to find reasons for themselves, so that they can continue to do it with peace of mind.

As soon as the body was fished up, the stench and smell of the sea was unbearable, so we all crowded her and placed her alone on a raft. There is a folk saying that the corpse burns the ghost, and in order to survive, we can only do this.

Sure enough, as soon as the body was fished up, we found that the raft had finally stopped flowing backwards.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
