Ji Xun, Shen Yuyu, and Sun Xian Ling were also on the boat, and a big rooster was hanging on a sturdy bamboo pole with a rope.

The boat slowly came to the center of the river, and as it was near noon, the sun shone on the water, and it was as calm as a mirror, and it was impossible to see what was hidden under the water.

"Put the chickens in." Sun County ordered.

The sailors put the chicken into the water little by little, and the rooster clucked and struggled in horror, as if he were afraid to go into the water, and fluttered his wings as soon as it touched the water.

"Press it into the water." Sun Xian Ling said again, before the voice fell, the chicken had been brought into the water with a bamboo pole.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the chicken that had gone into the water, but the water was quiet, and the chicken could be seen struggling in the water, but it was not real. The river is deep and the visibility is not so good.

In order not to let the chicken drown, he lifted it down shortly after entering the water, and after recovering and pressed it into the water, and repeated this more than a dozen times, but nothing came to catch the chicken.

The people on the boat looked at each other, and they became more and more convinced that it was a water ghost who was dragging people in the water, otherwise why didn't the chicken drag it?

"Why don't you try a different goat? Maybe it doesn't like chicken?" It was proposed.

Sun County's order was also helpless, and nodded and said, "Then change the sheep, land first."

"Okay." The man with the chicken responded, and was about to withdraw the bamboo pole in his hand, when Ji Xun suddenly pressed his hand, "Wait a minute." Everyone hurriedly stared nervously at the surface of the water, and after a few glances, they didn't see anything.

"Don't wait, it's useless." The man said that he was about to carry the pole, but suddenly a force suddenly pulled it, and the bamboo pole was dragged away and fell into the water, and then the chicken and the bamboo pole quickly disappeared under the water.

"See?" Sun Xianling looked at everyone and asked, and everyone shook their heads blankly.

But Shen Yuyu saw it, she saw it when others were careless just now.

Shen Yuyu's mood at the moment can't be described, she saw the water ghost! It was really a slippery thing, and even glanced at her in the water, and the eyeballs did not have the whites of the eyes, which was particularly rash.

"It's a bit like a child with no clothes on." Ji Xun spoke, "But I'm sure it's not a water ghost, it must be some kind of animal." ”

Everyone looked at Ji Xun and didn't speak, even Sun Xianling couldn't understand why Ji Xun's thoughts were so firm, almost everyone thought that it was a water ghost in the water, but he didn't think so.

"Tie me around my waist with a rope, and I'll go into the water to probe." Ji Xundao.

"No, it's too dangerous." Shen Yuyu immediately objected.

Ji Xun rubbed Shen Yuyu's head melon seeds: "It's okay, there are no ghosts in this world, believe me."

Sun Xianling thought for a moment and said, "In this case, send a few more people into the water, tie the rope to your waist, and as soon as the rope is pulled, we will drag you up."

"No, you don't." Ji Xun shook his head, "There's no need to let so many people go into the water, it's enough for me alone." ”

Seeing that Shen Yuyan was worried, Ji Xun assured, "I'll definitely be fine, and I have to catch that water ghost." ”

Shen Yuyan was still not at ease, and tied three ropes to Ji Xun's waist, arms, and thighs before letting him go into the water.

After Ji Xun got into the water, he swam on the surface of the water for a while, there was no movement, he dived into the water again and looked around, but he was pulled out of the water not long after he entered the water, and everyone was very nervous.

Shen Yuyu's tears were about to come out.

"I'm fine, when I pull this rope later, you can push harder." Ji Xun confessed.

Everyone had to let go of the rope again and stared nervously at his movements.

Ji Xun began to dive into the water again, and the deeper he dived.

In the end, it was the person who crawled out of the pile of dead people, the courage was not ordinary, Ji Xun opened his eyes and patrolled in the water, and as he slowly dived, he suddenly found that there was a row of naked guys squatting under the dark water, looking up with his head up, looking like a row of unclothed children at first glance.

This is more than ten meters deep in the water, this kind of scene is enough to be rash just by looking at it, but Ji Xun was not afraid at all, he held his breath and dived down violently, quickly grabbed one, and then immediately pulled the rope.

The people above began to pull hard, and Ji Xun took the slick guy to the surface of the water quickly.

With a loud pull out of the water, the thing Ji Xun was dragging struggled desperately, and was stunned by Ji Xun and thrown onto the boat, and then he was also pulled onto the boat.

Everyone curiously gathered around what had been thrown up.

The thing was lying on the plank, with pale skin, bare limbs, and a tail dragging on, and it looked like an unclothed child in the water, and it didn't look so much when it got to the boat.

"This is the water ghost?" Someone opened his mouth strangely.

"I don't know if it's water ghosts, but they must be dragging people."

"It's not a water ghost, it's all bleeding." Someone opened his mouth in surprise, and everyone looked at it, and sure enough, that thing was slapped by Ji Xun and bled out.

Shen Yuyu was untying the rope on Ji Xun's body, and after untying it, he came over to take a look and suddenly realized.

This thing, although it has no hair and is larger than an ordinary beaver, is definitely a beaver, and the strange thing is where does their hair go? After losing the hair, the sleek skin is pale and miserable, just like the legendary water ghost.

"This animal, there is a large group in the water." Ji Xun said, "It's these guys who killed five or six people!"

It's the first time everyone has seen this animal, and they don't know why.

And Shen Yuyu always wondered why all the hairs of these beavers had fallen off? Why?

Shen Yuyu looked around with doubts, and suddenly saw a tributary in front of him flowing into this big river, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he asked the people on the boat: "Where did that river ~~ flow out?"

Everyone replied: "Baijia Village."

Sure enough, Shen Yu understood and ordered Sun County; "This animal is called a beaver, and it likes to build a dam and make a nest at the confluence of the two rivers, and it must be that the river in Baijia Village is polluted, causing all the hair on its body to fade."

As he spoke, he stepped forward to check the blood flowing from the beavers, "They are poisoned and have a violent personality, so they drag people into the water in groups." ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and Ji Xun nodded silently.

Sun Xian Ling could only shake his head and sigh: "The Baijia Village Iron Mine is not shallow, fortunately it was closed in time, otherwise ~~~" said and looked at Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu with deep eyes, if it weren't for them, that iron mine would not know how many people would be harmed, His Royal Highness the Prince~~ It's too disappointing!

After looking around, Shen Yuyu got up and pointed to the confluence of the two rivers, "They must have built a dam under the water there, and the missing people may have been dragged there by them to build a dam." ”

After listening to Shen Yuyan's words, everyone drove the boat to the confluence of the two rivers, parked the boat, and then sent someone who is good at water to tie the rope and go into the water, and sure enough, a huge dam built with tree trunks and branches was found under the water, and in the gap of the dam, there was obviously the body of a drowning person caught in it.
