Chapter 201: Little Friend
Not to mention Mo Qingye, even if there is no him, it is impossible for him and her, beauty is beautiful, good is good, but fate is sometimes difficult to have a standard to measure.
The boat continued to move slowly on the river, after nightfall, Gu Lao slowed down the speed of travel, the visibility of the whole river surface is quite low, with the vision of ordinary people can see at most dozens of meters away, and it is not very clear, the surface of the river seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, the dilapidated wooden boat is the ups and downs of the waves, and from time to time there are splashes of water in the boat, staining their clothes.
The sound of water ghosts crying and howling around them became thicker and thicker, mixed in the miasma of the night, like an elegy wrapped in black veil, calling passers-by to go to Huangquan together. Little Mushroom and Little Ash got together in a pile, trembling. The stone slave was still as steady as a rock, and his face was expressionless. Seeing the swaying ship heading towards the water ghost, Du Yuanyuan couldn't help but secretly clench his hands, and it was also after the night sank that the dark clothes on his body once again glowed with a faint light, reflecting the bleak moonlight, ghostly and mysterious.
Out of gentlemanly demeanor, he should have given up this protective shirt to Huang Ying, but at this time, he didn't care about any demeanor, he wanted to live, even if everyone died, he had to survive, just because the green night was waiting for him. At this, Xiao Du exhaled inaudibly, wrapped the clothes on his body, walked towards Gu Lao, and said, "Elder Zun, you are also tired for a day, otherwise, let me paddle." ”
"You?" Gu Lao looked at him with a few wisps of contempt while shaking the oars, "It's better to stay in the seat honestly and don't cause me trouble." ”
"Ahem." Du Yuanyuan shrugged the tip of his nose, "Isn't it just individual work." ”
"Manual work? Hehe, if this was just a hard job, there wouldn't be so many people in Entropy Town who would be willing to pay a lot of money to hire me to cross the river. Gu Lao took out his empty hand and lit a dry tobacco, and said with a click, "But in the past few decades, no one has ever gone out and come back." ”
Hearing this, Du Yuanyuan was silent, and raised his eyes to look at the dark river, "Perhaps, we won't come back." ”
"Hmph, you're a bit self-aware." Gu Lao took a spicy puff of tobacco leaves, "On this road, on this Wangshui River, I Gu Yiqiu can pat my chest and promise that none of you can die, but when you go ashore, it depends on your own well-being and creation. ”
"Huh." Du Yuanyuan smiled, in fact, what he said was the truth, they really won't come back, the people they have seen, the things they have experienced, are all fleeting, and Gu Lao, who is talking about it at such a moment.
As the distance gradually closed, wisps of rotten smell began to waft in the air, as if there were countless rotting corpses piled around. Xiao Du covered his nose and sat back in his seat, repeatedly telling them to be more careful, with sharp eyes and sharp ears.
Little Gray Ash and Little Mushroom have long been frightened, hugging each other in fear, looking like the sky is falling. On the contrary, Huang Ying was very calm, although she could also smell the ghost sounds around her, her face was still calm and tenacious, and she did not have the slightest fear.
A pungent smell came with the wind, smelling a few people nauseating again and again, and a small cool breeze blew, the little mushroom was the first to lose, lying on the edge of the boat and vomiting, the food that had just entered the stomach was reversed, and the viscous residue floated on the surface of the river, the little guy vomited and cried, the snot and tears were twisted into a ball, and the look was extremely miserable, and suddenly, her whining suddenly stopped there, staring at the water with tears in her eyes.
Then, the little mushroom suddenly smiled again, and with an inexplicable joy and curiosity, stretched out his little hand and reached into the river, "Come up." ”
"Little mushroom, who are you talking to?" Little Ash was surprised.
"Ash, look." The little mushroom stuck his eyes, "That little doll." ”
"Why didn't I see any little dolls?" Little Gray also looked at it, and Du Yuanyuan, who was sitting next to him, was also very worried, and asked, "Little girl, it's better if you spit it out." ”
"Daddy, there's a cute little kid in the water." Little Mushroom looked back at his immature way.
"What a little friend." Xiao Du immediately became alert, this is not a joke, a handful of the little mushroom dragged over, and looked under the boat, but it was not true, only to see that in the surging and gloomy river, there was a black shadow up and down, round, the head was super big, like a bulging ball, but the body was very small, in stark contrast to its big head, no hair, two eyes as round as the head, also black and shiny, a delicate little mouth, a cherry-like little nose, the whole body was as black as ink, But it's obviously not a physical entity, it's a little translucent, it looks really cute, and it's wearing a small skirt, the corners of the skirt ripple with the waves, and it's blinking at Du Yuanyuan, who is also blinking in surprise.
But no matter how well-behaved and lovely it is, it's a ghost on the cards!
Xiao Du didn't think about it, picked up the fish basket on the boat and threw it into the water, the little guy let out a series of whimperes, and ran away in a hurry. But Fluttershy is very fond of it, and weakly says, "Daddy, don't be cruel, maybe it's a nice and simple ghost." ”
"You're big!" Du Yuanyuan pounced, threw away the fish basket, and shook the waterway in his hand, "It's not good in this place." ”
"But it's so funny, and Fluttershy likes ......"
"If you like it, jump down and marry it!"
…… The little mushroom pouted a little lost, still probing his brain to look around, and said ecstatically, "Daddy, that's there, I want to catch one and come up to play." ”
"Play with your spoon!" Xiao Du said angrily, looking in the direction of the little mushroom's finger, and suddenly his head buzzed, this is the little ghost's nest, with the undulating river surging to a large group of little ghost heads that are exactly the same as Fang Cai, let out a low whining sound to attack this side.
"Not good." Huang Ying said in a low voice.
"It's broken." Du Yuanyuan looked around, "We are surrounded by the rhythm." ”
At this moment, Gu Lao, who was ferrying at the bow of the boat, smiled sarcastically and said, "Look at your knowledge." ”
Several people looked at him in unison, and the night wind blew up the coarse linen shirt wrapped around this old and strong body, making Gu Yiqiu look particularly vigorous and powerful at this moment, only to hear Gu Lao turn his back to them and say, "These are just the shadows of the water demon, which scared you so much that you even forgot where your ancestral tomb was, if the water demon really came out for a while, I am afraid that you will be scared to death if you are not eaten." ”
"Shadows? But if it's a shadow, why can it make a sound? ”
"Ghosts are still shadows, can't they be said to laugh, cry or shout." Gu Yiqiu became more and more contemptuous, "I think I gave you a few of you for nothing this trip, even if you cross this Wangshui River, you will die sooner or later when you get there." ”
