Wushan Demon Coffin Chapter 18 Water Ghost
I looked at the crack, and with the naked eye, the edges and corners of the mountain wall in the crack protruded, and on the water surface between the two walls, you could see the protruding sharp reef, and the bamboo raft propped up into it, and without superb skill, it was easy to get stuck or even damaged.
At this moment, the river is quiet, but the crack is still very narrow compared to the wide river, and at a glance, there is a feeling of oppression and gloom.
Lao Jiang's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Alas, it's either it, it's not!" You can't go there. ”
Lao Hu stared at the slit tightly, and looked at the surrounding mountain walls from time to time, looking thoughtful, and when he heard what Lao Jiang said, he asked without looking back, "Why can't you go?" ”
Lao Jiang put the penny horizontally, the bamboo raft slowed down the speed of the downstream, he seemed to recall something terrible, the original look of talking and laughing, immediately showed a palpitating expression, said: "I really can't go there, I don't lie to you, I grew up in this Wuxia since I was a child, and when I was a child, I relied on the good water quality, and I didn't make a lot of noise in the water." When I was 12 years old, I played in the river with a few friends of similar age, holding a bamboo raft, and the boys were more wild and liked to be more exciting, so I crossed the river estuary and entered the iron rope bay, when I was still young, the adults never let us cross the river estuary, so while the adults were busy farming, we wild children crossed the river estuary. ”
After speaking, he sighed, with a complicated expression on his face, looked at the crack, and said: "At that time, I remember, there were five of us in total, all twelve or thirteen years old, the age of Zhengye, the children who lived by the Wuxia River, they could hold pennies in their teens, and we crossed the estuary, just like now, along the Rope Bay to this place. I remember that the fog was very heavy that day, and the sides of the mountain wall were the same as now, overgrown with green pines, and the mist was steaming, just like a fairyland. ”
"In ancient times, there were poets who praised Wuxia: once the sea was difficult to turn into water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, and Qu Yuan's "Mountain Ghost" has been sung for thousands of years. I haven't read much, but my ancestors have lived in Wuxia for generations, and I remember all kinds of poems and legends about it in my bones. It was the first time I had crossed the estuary, and the five of them seemed to be fascinated by the mountain ghosts, and they were only going to wander around the Rope Bay, but before I knew it, I saw this rift. ”
I guessed what was going to happen next, and then I said, "And then you went in?" Is there any danger? ”
Lao Jiang nodded fiercely, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Among us, there is a little friend, named Buffalo, he is bold and adventurous, so he came up with an idea and said that he wanted to enter that rift valley to explore. There are a lot of reefs in the rift valley, like ...... Like the interlaced teeth of a crocodile, it was difficult for the raft to survive, and I was relatively timid at the time, so I immediately disagreed. The buffalo laughed at me for being cowardly, boy, competitive, and as soon as I was laughed at by him, I gritted my teeth and agreed. ”
"At that time, we had a total of three rafts, not so big, they were small rafts that usually went up to the river to fish, small children, one person could hold up, the oldest boy at that time supported one by himself, and the other two had one. The buffalo came up with an idea, saying that the competition would see who could row fast. We carried the raft into the canyon. Because the raft is relatively small, the reefs don't have a big impact on us, but the waterway inside is crooked, and the more you row inside, the narrower the waterway becomes, and when you look up, you can only see a line of sky. Wushan**, the goddess Shi Wu is the most famous, in the end, our heads are full of clouds, even the sky can not be seen, the sun can not penetrate, everywhere is gloomy, at that time, the oldest boy is also strong, he took the lead, my raft followed closely behind him, and the buffalo and another little friend fell last. ”
"The fog was rising, and the surrounding area was gloomy, and I was timid, so I said to the man in front of me, who was curious, and said that it was all here, and it was better to see what the end looked like. I couldn't walk alone, so I could only follow behind on a raft, but while paddling, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the sound of the water that followed behind me seemed to disappear, and I quickly turned my head to see that the misty river was empty, and only the bamboo raft remained. ”
The fat man hissed and said, "Those two boys in the back, went into the water to fish?" ”
Lao Jiang sighed and said, "I thought so at the time, so I hurriedly shouted at the river: "Buffalo!" Come out quickly, get your clothes wet, and go home to be scolded. As a result, no one answered me for a long time, and the older boy said to wait, and it is estimated that the two buffaloes saw the big fish and dived into the water. We were born by the river, and as soon as we learned to walk, we could get into the water, and we didn't breathe for two minutes, so we stopped the raft and waited, but we waited for five minutes and no one came up. ”
The fat man said, "That's over, it's definitely drowning." ”
Lao Jiang nodded, and said with a wry smile: "We waited for more than twenty minutes, and knew that the two buffaloes were killed, so we became scared, and we were young at the time, and I didn't think of other aspects, but I just felt terrible, so I hurriedly held the raft and walked back, and I didn't dare to go back all the way, and the result was ...... Results ......"
Lao Jiang's eyes suddenly widened, his voice was hoarse, and he said dryly: "When we rowed all the way back to the river and told the adults about this, people suddenly found that there were two corpses under our bamboo raft. ”
I couldn't help but gasp, this, fuck, tell ghost stories.
The fat man showed his disbelief and said, "Could it be that those two little ghosts, unwilling to die, grabbed your raft and went home?" ”
Lao Jiang's face suddenly appeared angry, probably dissatisfied with the fat man's careless attitude, and said sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, they, they died very miserably, their bodies were bloody, and there were a lot of aquatic plants and vines tied, the old people said that they were hooked by the water ghost mountain spirit and became a water ghost's minions." I'll never forget their deaths, it's horrible. ”
I was a little frightened by what he said, the scenery that I originally thought was beautiful, suddenly changed its taste, the steep and magical stone wall in my eyes, immediately distorted into a hideous face, by my imagination infinitely amplified, the ancient pine and cypress also turned into a ghost claw stretched out.
Just when I was annoyed that my imagination was so unreliable, Xiaohua suddenly put away her mobile phone, looked at Lao Jiang with a smile, and said, "This kind of thing happened, you still dare to enter the Jiangkou, you are quite bold." ”
Xiaohua said, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, ordinary people want to have this kind of experience, they must not dare to come again, this Lao Jiang, listening to his previous statement, seems to have brought tourists into more than once, doesn't he have a little psychological shadow?
I immediately thought of the time in Shandong Guazi Temple, and I couldn't help but be surprised, is it another underworld business? Is the master's luck really so bad?
Lao Jiang obviously heard what Xiaohua meant, the corners of his mouth pulled, his face was gloomy, and his voice was not very polite, and said: "I rely on labor to eat, the whole family depends on me alone, as long as I can make money, I don't dare to grit my teeth and hold on, I can't compare to you, at first glance, I am a big boss with a lot of money, no matter what you think, anyway, I won't go, I will return the money to you!" ”
After speaking, with a calm face, the penny flicked in the water, and began to paddle back. Lao Hu immediately made a gesture to stop, held down Lao Jiang's hand, and said, "Brother, we don't mean anything else, since you said that there is danger there, then let's not go in." ”
When the fat man heard this, he immediately said, "Old Hu, why are you talking, have you forgotten our goal?" Even if there is really a mountain ghost, the fat man will go in for a while. Lao Hu pressed Lao Jiang's hands with one hand and put the other behind him, and gestured to me and the fat man, signaling us not to make a sound.
I guess Lao Hu has other plans, so he said to Xiaohua: "Lao Jiang is also a good heart, that slit, it looks really dangerous, we are here to view the mountain and take pictures, and we are not a survey expedition, so forget it." ”
When Lao Jiang heard this, his face softened, and he nodded at me, I smiled at him, and said, "Brother Hu, what do you think?" ”
Lao Hu immediately smiled, patted Lao Jiang's shoulder warmly, and said, "I'm really sorry, it aroused your sadness, come, smoke a cigarette, let's go downstream." Then he pointed to Xiaohua and said, "My brother's heart is smaller, don't mind." ”
Cigarettes are a good thing, every person doing things, regardless of relatives or relatives, hand over a cigarette, and you can immediately close the distance.
Lao Jiang's face finally softened, and then he probably felt that he was too much, and he shouldn't treat the guests like this, so he smiled apologetically, put the cigarette to his ear, and thanked Lao Hu, and then said: "Since I have done the business of several bosses, I have to be responsible for the lives of several bosses. ”
