Chapter 17: Things have changed

And this kind of light can shine on the corpses in the river!

Of course, there is also a use, that is, it can attract corpses in the water to gather towards the light of the lantern.

Although, I don't know what the principle is.

However, as long as this lantern is lit, it can indeed attract the corpses in the water.

Because, I also saw such a scene at the beginning, and I still remember it vividly.

Next, my eldest brother and I got the raft into the river.

I thought that at the beginning, my father could watch this raft walk by himself.

However, now that I am carrying it with my eldest brother, I still feel that the raft is still too heavy.

As for the origin of this raft, the ancestors of the old Huang family have not passed it down, so there are too many sayings.

However, this raft is also very strange, not only does it not rot, but it does not even give birth to insects.

Moreover, whether it is thrown under the sun or exposed to the wind and rain, it will not affect it at all.

"Respect heaven and earth, ghosts and gods!"

After getting the raft into the water, the eldest brother looked at the time and said.

So I took out the incense that had been offered, and lit it.

My eldest brother and I knelt down facing the river facing ahead.

Immediately afterwards, the eldest brother began to recite the "Words of Respect for Heaven and Earth, Ghosts and Gods".

This is the tradition of the old Huang family, and it is a step that must be taken before the corpse is retrieved.

Naturally, I now also know the content of this "earth-shattering ghost and god word".

It's just that if the eldest brother is here, it won't be my turn to recite this play.

In the past, my father recited these things.

With the eldest brother, after finishing the obscure "Respect for Heaven and Earth Ghost and God Words".

The three tribute incense sticks the thickness of someone's thumb were also quickly burned out.

At this time, the sound of the river is much louder than before.

Also, the wind began to blow all around.

Even in the sky, clouds began to appear, and gradually the moon was obscured.

And, even weirder things are starting to happen.

From the other side of the riverbank, a mist appeared, and it quickly spread towards my eldest brother.

Soon, the surroundings were covered in fog.

And after my eldest brother and I got up, we also heard some extremely terrible voices.

Everywhere around us there was the sound of footsteps, and suddenly they became very close, and suddenly they were far away.

It seems that around me and my eldest brother, there are a lot of people all of a sudden!

However, my eldest brother and I could not see anything, nor could we feel the breath of a living person.

"Big brother, have you ever encountered this situation before?"

I asked.

The eldest brother said in a deep voice: "I haven't encountered it." ”

After listening to my eldest brother's words, my heart couldn't help but sink down.

I don't know if the occurrence of this strange situation is related to the eldest brother's mention of fishing for the corpse of the river girl after reciting the "Words of Respect for Heaven and Earth and Ghosts".

But judging from the current situation, it really makes me feel uneasy.

"It's all come to this, and there's no turning back!"

The eldest brother spoke again.

When I heard my eldest brother's words, I also nodded vigorously.

So, the two of us began to throw the dowry gift for the corpse of the woman standing in the river into the water.

If the corpse of the river girl agrees to this family matter, she will naturally give us a response.

Sure enough, not long after my eldest brother and I threw the dowry into the river, we heard something strange in the river.

But right now, there is a layer of fog above the river, and you can't see the situation in the river at all.

However, the voice was transmitted very clearly.

"Huh? Have you heard the water dragon? It seems that there is a woman singing? ”

Big brother he said to me.

"I hear you."

I immediately responded.

"Sounds like Liang Zhu!"

The eldest brother said here.

After listening carefully, I was sure that it was indeed Liang Zhu.

And at this time, I also felt that my shoulder area actually became wet, as if something had fallen.

I quickly reached out and grabbed my left shoulder.

As a result, I touched something.

When I took the item off my left shoulder and approached it, I found that it was a red hijab!

It's just that the red hijab is wet, and it is clearly stained with water.

I immediately greeted my eldest brother and asked him to come and see as well.

My eldest brother approached me, took the red hijab from my hand and looked at it.

"Okay, people agreed, let's start too!"

And after the eldest brother returned the red hijab to me, he said to me categorically.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, and clenched the red hijab in my hand.

My eldest brother and I got on the raft.

The eldest brother had already lit the lantern and carried it in his hand.

As the raft headed towards the deep water, my heart at this moment was also in my throat.

But this did not delay me, to shake the copper bell in my hand every five breaths.

The sound of brass bells echoed above the mist-covered river.

The white light emitted by the lantern also dispersed a lot of fog around the raft.

I saw that some figures appeared under the water clinging to the raft.

These figures seem to dance in the water, giving people a strange sense of intoxication.

They look like mermaids, full of seduction.

"Kiln"

At this time, there were strange sounds behind me.

It's like there are a lot of people talking, but when you want to listen carefully, you can't hear what they're saying.

Of course, I also know that this is the so-called nonsense, and it is the most demagogic!

Fortunately, the sound of the copper bell also has the effect of making people feel clear.

Just when the raft was gentle, entering the deep water.

Suddenly, I felt a violent shaking of the raft under my feet.

Subsequently, the raft also made a 180-degree turn!

This kind of change is also something that my eldest brother and I didn't expect at all.

If it hadn't been for me and my eldest brother who had clung to the raft, we might have fallen headlong into the water.

And when the raft turned around, it was as if it was being pulled by something invisible, and began to move rapidly against the current!

"Hold on!"

Big brother reminded me.

After the raft had been against the trend for a while, it suddenly broke through the foggy section of the river.

Immediately after that, the raft also came to a sudden halt.

Somewhat frightened, I began to look around.

"Kowloon Ferry!"

At this time, the eldest brother exclaimed silently.
