Ji Xun hurriedly turned his eyes to the river when he heard this, and sure enough, many men in the river seemed to be drowning, no, it should be said that they were constantly dragged to the bottom of the water by something.

These men are not ordinary men, they are all familiar with water, but at this moment, many of them are splashing in the water, sinking into the water for a long time and not coming out.

Ji Xun hurriedly walked towards Sun County, "There is something in the water, the county ordered the Lord to stop the game and drive the boat to save people." ”

Sun Xianling was still mediating the conflict, and after listening to Ji Xun's words, he looked into the river, noticed that something was wrong, and was busy waving the flag on the shore to signal the boat to stop.

The dragon boat that caught up behind met before the boat overturned, and they all stopped, but it was not easy to save people, the dragon boat was originally streamlined, the boat was small, and it couldn't sit for other people.

Fortunately, there were boats on the shore, and a few boats were quickly sent over to pull up the men who had fallen into the water one by one.

Someone went into the water to save people, and climbed onto the boat as if they had seen a ghost without swimming twice.

"There are water ghosts, don't go into the water, use bamboo poles to catch people."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were cold, no one dared to go into the water anymore, and they all took bamboo poles to probe into the water, and those men who fell into the water grabbed the bamboo poles and climbed onto the boat.

Shen Hailin was almost suffocated when he was dragged onto the boat, and it took a while for him to recover and hurry up to help save people.

Ji Xun said: "Lord County Commander, I'm afraid those dragon boats let them dock first, and I don't know what is in the water."

Looking back at this moment, the boat in Liujiacun suddenly lost control, I am afraid it was not man-made, but it was caused by something in the water that caused the boat to collide, it seems that it should have been misunderstood before.

Before Ji Xun could finish speaking, a dragon boat parked on the side suddenly swayed from side to side, and soon a boatload of people was shaken overturned, everyone fell into the water, and the men fluttered in the water.

The dragon boat is small and lightweight, so it can easily be turned over like this. Seeing this, dozens of other dragon boats hurriedly approached the shore and quickly went ashore after docking.

And the ship that rescued the people soon came back.

"There are water ghosts in the water, really." When the rescued people came ashore, they were terrified.

"Yes, yes, yes, I can guarantee that it is true, after I fell into the water, my right foot was pulled and dragged me to the bottom of the water, but fortunately, I was good at the water, and I kicked the water ghost away with a few hard kicks and picked up a life."

"Me too, I kicked it off and looked at it, a white shadow, like a child without clothes, it's terrifying!

The people on the shore also blew up the pot.

"It turns out that there are really water ghosts, no wonder there are many more people who drown in the river this year than in previous years."

"Isn't it? Didn't one of my neighbor's sons get dragged in by a water ghost? The corpse was not found. '

"It's so scary, everyone quickly told each other, don't go into the water to swim."

Everyone was boiling, and Shen Yuyu also heard these words, so she didn't believe that there were any water ghosts, but she didn't have time to analyze what appeared in the water at the moment, she was busy saving people.

Several men lost their breath, Shen Yuyu hurriedly gave them cardiac resuscitation to rescue, she alone was not enough, and taught many officers and soldiers how to rescue, but fortunately, these people were saved.

It didn't take long for the river to be quiet, and almost all that could be saved was saved, and I don't know how many were dragged into the water.

Several more boats were rescued by CPR, and three more boats continued to be salvaged in the water.

The county order hurriedly summoned the heads of each village to count the number of people, and the scene cried bitterly.

Among the three boats that capsized, there were two less in Liujia Village, one less in Shenjia Village, and two less in Zhaojia Village. The scene of celebration in the blink of an eye was gone, and in the blink of an eye it was shrouded in sorrow.

After another half an hour of salvage, nothing was salvaged, and the five people were nowhere to be found.

Sun Guling blamed himself and grieved, and couldn't understand why this happened.

After evacuating the people at the scene, he comforted the family of the deceased, and then gathered the men who were rescued from the water and asked them about the situation after falling into the water.

Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun were naturally also listening.

How could the people who came out of the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield believe in ghosts and gods?

And Shen Yuyan is an atheist from modern times, of course he doesn't believe in the remarks of any water ghosts, and his heart is also full of doubts and incomprehension, listening quietly on the side.

Shen Hailin was the first to speak, "I am very good at water, I was dragged into the water and escaped twice, and I saw that it was a slick child who dragged me. There was still a lingering horror in his eyes when he said this.

Another person answered, very sure: "Yes, it's a child, he doesn't even have hair, it's definitely a water ghost."

As soon as the words of the two landed, many men nodded one after another, saying that what they saw was a seven or eight-year-old child, who was slick.

In the countryside, most of the water ghosts refer to the incarnation of children who drowned in the water, and now they see children, so there is no doubt that they must be water ghosts.

Sun Xianling's face also changed, as a court administrator, he naturally can't believe in gods and ghosts, but at the moment, everyone's words can't be a lie, what else can that thing in the water be if it's not a water ghost?

Ji Xun said: "Where did the ghost come from in this world? It must be some kind of animal that lives in the water. ’

Sun Guling's face was extremely ugly: "What kind of animal can it be?" Never heard of it. "Of course, except for the water ghosts, I heard that the water ghosts look like that.

Shen Yuyu is also full of paste, this river is wide and deep, even if there is a 'Chinese sturgeon' in the water, she doesn't think it's strange, but now everyone sees a 'child-like creature', what kind of creature is this?

"Is there any hair on your body?" Shen Yuyan asked.

"Nope." Shen Hailin replied very affirmatively, "It's just smooth skin, soaked in a miserable white color." ”

Shen Yuyu was completely confused after hearing this answer, his biology was not bad when he was studying, there was no such thing as a child-like creature in the water, could it be that there were really water ghosts in this world? Shen Yuyu himself was unsure.

Ji Xun was calm as usual: "Don't be afraid, it must not be a water ghost, I am good at water, I will know when I go into the water."

Shen Yuyu hurriedly grabbed him: "Ah Xun, you can't go." The heart is really ignorant and fearless, maybe it is really a water ghost? She couldn't think of anything else but a water ghost.

"Since Yoyo is not worried about her husband's going, then she will think of an alternative way." Ji Xun said, "Take a sheep, or a chicken or duck or something, tie it up with a rope and throw it into the water, fish it out, and you can see it at a glance." ”

"Okay, let's do it." Sun Xianling knew that if this matter was not solved, it would be big, and the five missing people alone would not be able to deal with each other, and maybe they would not be able to protect their heads.

Soon, Sun Xianling asked Li Yu to quickly find a chicken and tie it with a rope, and brought a few men with particularly good water skills on the boat and rowed to the center of the river.
