Chapter Twenty-Seven: The River

"My father?" Nanmen Heng said in surprise.

"Is that your father?" said you were the son of the soul of the South Gate?" the old woman smiled.

"Hmm......" Nanmen Heng looked at the old woman, looking a little embarrassed, "Are you ......?"

"Ahh After all this time, why are you here?"

Hostess? I thought that this place was the village where my father came back then, and this is the village! Nanmen Heng was a little excited.

"Auntie, let's talk as we go!" Nanmen Heng looked at the old woman with a smile.

"Good, good. The two walked slowly along the river.

"Do you know what my dad was doing here back then?" asked Nanmen Heng directly.

"I don't know. But your father didn't come out after he went into the desert, and I don't know if he was dead or alive. ”

"Really?" Nanmen Heng was puzzled by this: My dad couldn't have disappeared here, otherwise there would be no follow-up. And they didn't have me at the time...... Nanmen Heng continued: "Are you sure? They never came back?"

The old woman patted her thigh, smiled, and said, "Sure." No, you're so similar to your dad, I thought they were back. ”

"Do you know what they're doing in the desert?"

The old woman frowned and said, "I'm not sure either. ”

"Huh, you don't know anything, what did they tell you at the time? ”

"Just say it, just say it...... I want to see it...... They said they were going to the desert and they wanted to find a guide. ”

Nanmen Heng didn't feel anything strange, so he didn't ask about it again. Suddenly, Nanmen Heng thought of the crazy old woman who died tragically in the diary, and couldn't help asking: "Hey, auntie, do you know the old woman who died tragically back then?"

The face of the lady in front of Nanmen Heng sank and said, "Oh." That's it, it's miserable, I'm right next to it, this face, it's scary!"

Nanmen Heng didn't care about what the eldest lady said now, just looked at the river. It's sunset, and the reddish-orange hues of the setting sun illuminate the sky and the river in front of you, sparkling in the light and reflecting the mountains on the other side.

Nanmen Heng looked at the river with concern, although the river was clear, there were no creatures such as fish and aquatic plants in the river, which seemed a little strange.

Nanmen Heng muttered a few words, and then reacted and asked, "Auntie, what did you just say?" I didn't care, I'm sorry. ”

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Nothing, nothing." But you seem to be interested in the river, don't you? ”

The eldest lady guessed Nanmen Heng's thoughts, Nanmen Heng smiled awkwardly, and said, "Ha, yes, this river is so clear, there is no life in the water, it is really strange." Don't you use the river?"

The eldest lady did not answer Nanmen Heng, but patted Nanmen Heng's shoulder and motioned for him to stand closer to the river again, so close that he could almost see the whole picture of the river.

"Look, isn't there grass here, there?"

"No, that's just a reflection. Nanmen Heng looked at the position that the eldest lady pointed to him, and the green in the water only reflected the trees on the opposite bank.

"Hmm, is it?" Nanmen Heng suddenly felt a huge forward thrust, and the whole person fell forward in diameter, and was about to fall into the river.

Nanmen Heng cursed a few words to the eldest lady in his heart, and then with a "snap", Nanmen Heng fell into the water.

The water is not deep, almost to the chest of the South Gate Heng, about 1.5 meters. Nanmen Heng's head first emerged from the water, then he wiped the water on his face with both hands and opened his eyes.

Nanmen Heng found that the eldest lady standing on the shore was long gone, and there was nothing nearby to climb up, so he could only shout for help.

I shouted for a while, but no one responded. At this time, the sun has all set, there is still a little afterglow, and it will be dark any later, and you won't be able to see anything at that time, Nanmen Heng thought to himself.

There was really no way, Nanmen Heng thought of the mobile phone at this time, fortunately, the mobile phone was on him, and it was not broken.

Nanmen Heng didn't say a word and called Zhuge Yuan directly, after opening up, Zhuge Yuan was very positive, after Nanmen Heng explained the situation, Zhuge Yuan immediately agreed, and now, Nanmen Heng just needs to wait for Zhuge Yuan to come.

Nanmen Heng sighed and calmed down. Nanmen Heng walked a few steps along the shore and thought: This water is really warm, not cold at all. But the bottom of the water is too clean, there is no silt at all.

It was already starting to get dark.

"Grunt......" Bubbles began to bubble not far away. Nanmen Heng also noticed something strange and wondered in his heart.

"Gollum, Gollum!" bubbling more and more often, always feeling like something is coming out of the water.

Nanmen Heng stared at it for a while, and found that the bubbling place had become muddy. Even though it was already dark, the place was still very muddy.

Nanmen Heng was very curious, put his face into the water, opened his eyes in the water, and looked at the place that had become turbid. Nanmen Heng felt as if the thing was moving. It is not clear when people open their eyes in the water, and it will be uncomfortable, so Nanmen Heng raised his face after a while.

Nanmen Heng looked at the surface of the water, and to his surprise, this thing was really moving! And it was also moving towards Nanmen Heng.

"Huh!" a black thing popped out of the water, startling Nanmen Heng. The thing then went back into the water.

When Nanmen Heng saw this thing, he felt that it was definitely not a good thing, so he ran away, but he was in the water, and he couldn't run fast at all, and he saw that this thing was about to go to Nanmen Heng's side.

"Gurgling ......" began to bubble in many places, and this cloudy substance appeared.

Nanmen Heng saw that many turbidities were coming to him, and he was at a loss, so he could only wait for Zhuge Wish.

"Say Cao Cao Cao arrived", Nanmen Heng heard Zhuge Yuan's voice and shouted: "Quick, quick! I'm here." This voice was very hurried, which made Zhuge Yuan speed up his pace.

At this time, the turbid matter was already very close to him, and Nanmen Heng saw that something was wrong, and suddenly jumped to the exposed part of the two stones on the river embankment. Because there was no handle, Nanmen Heng quickly leaned back. Fortunately, at this time, Zhuge Yuan came, she held a hemp rope in her hand, saw that the situation was wrong, and threw the hemp rope down. When Nanmen Heng saw his rope, he immediately pulled it with his left hand and stabilized it. However, before Nanmen Heng came back to his senses, a black body, with limbs, and nothing on his face except for his mouth, jumped out of the water, opened its mouth, and bit off Nanmen Heng's entire right arm in one bite, and then fell into the water again.

"Ah——" Nanmen Heng screamed, looking at the bloody right, the blood was still dripping down.

"Don't, come up first, those are not good things!" Zhuge Yuan found that the situation was not right, and shouted to Nanmen Heng.

Nanmen Heng struggled to pull the rope with his left hand, supported the river embankment with his feet, and slowly moved upward, Zhuge Yuan was also trying to pull the rope.

Nanmen Heng looked back at the river, and a lot of turbidity had gathered below Nanmen Heng.

"Hurry, hurry!" Nanmen Heng shouted bitterly.

Nanmen Heng moved towards the river bank with all his strength, but pulling the rope with one hand made Nanmen Heng unable to support it for long. Soon, Nanmen Heng's strength will run out. Suddenly, Nanmen Heng's left foot slipped and left the river embankment, pointing vertically down the river surface.

Those things were very agile, and when they saw Nanmen Heng's feet slipping, they jumped out again and bit off the calf on Nanmen Heng's left.
