Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Fish Are Crazy
After Wan Yushan and the others left Xiangyang City, they estimated that Shui Yixiang and they should have gone away with the beggar disciples, so they took off Bibozhuang's clothes, pretended to be ordinary travelers, and rushed to the nearby ferry.
After buying five tickets, everyone stepped onto a large cruise ship on the Yangtze River.
The shelter provided by the beggars is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the most convenient path is to take a boat down the river.
Although the waterway is convenient, it is difficult to escape if it encounters danger because it has been driving in the center of the Yangtze River.
The land route has a large flow of people, which is suitable for hiding traces.
So at the beginning, Ying Yarou suggested that the bright road where they were located should choose the water route, and Shui Yixiang and they chose the land route.
There is a distance from Xiangyang City to the Yangtze River ferry, and along the way, Wan Yushan and the others are all in good spirits, paying close attention to the movements around them, and finding that there are no abnormal signs, which also makes them breathe a sigh of relief.
Originally, they planned to abandon the ship immediately if they found the whereabouts of the Blood Boy on the road, and instead went east along the coast.
But now, there may not be a need for that.
After the five of them stepped on the cruise ship, Ying Yarou called Lin Yu to carefully inspect all corners of the ship, including all the passengers, they were secretly observing, and after making sure that there was no trace of the blood son, the heart that had been tense finally relaxed.
At night, the five of them gathered around the dining table, eating all kinds of fresh food in the Yangtze River, and felt that it was extraordinarily delicious.
Thinking of going down the river and arriving near the destination in five days, Jingfa was in a very happy mood and enjoyed the food in front of him.
And Yun Danhong, who was sitting next to him, not only ate a large portion of the fish head in the blink of an eye, but also drank all the remaining fish soup in the pot.
Seeing Jing Fa and Yun Danhong gobbling up, Ying Yarou frowned and shook her head, so she had to clear an open space on the table in front of her to cut the boundary with the two of them, so that Wan Yushan's diet would not be disturbed.
After this nutritious and hearty dinner, Wan Yushan's complexion improved, and he had been safe all day, his solemn expression gradually relaxed, and he began to talk and laugh with Ying Yarou and the others.
In this way, the five people have changed from the original escape to the appearance of enjoying the mountains and rivers, and they are integrated with the other passengers on the cruise ship, and they are harmonious and serene.
At night, the passengers on the cruise ship fell into a deep sleep, leaving only a few crew members to patrol around the ship.
Tonight's Yangtze River is exceptionally quiet, there is no wind and no waves, and the ships are sailing on the river, as if walking on the ground, making the passengers sleep more peacefully.
Suddenly, a soft thud came from the hull ahead.
The crew patrolling on the side of the ship ignored it, he had been a crew member on the Yangtze River for more than ten years, and knew that during the cruise ship, he would inevitably encounter some river fish that had no time to dodge.
However, after a while, there were several more bangs, and they came from the hull of the ship in different directions.
"Strange that these fish don't have to rest at night?" the crew snorted, walked to the bow of the boat, and looked at the place where the hull touched the river.
The cruise ship travels fast, tearing through the river and stirring up white spray.
At this moment, there was a sudden bang, and the crew clearly saw a large river fish rushing towards the hull of the ship, and was instantly killed by the great force of the ship's movement.
In the past, when the hull of the ship hit the river fish, the river fish would dodge, but this time it seems that the river fish themselves took the initiative to rush in the direction of the boat.
While he was wondering, several more river fish crashed into the boat, and each one was the same, rushing towards the hull at great speed.
The fish in the river at night are not normal, absolutely abnormal.
The crew wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and hurriedly ran to the captain's room to report the abnormality to the captain.
When the captain heard this, he also went to the bow of the ship to check, and found that there were more and more fish hitting the boat, and the impact sound became more and more frequent, so that some passengers who were more alert had been woken up by the sound and walked out of the cabin one after another.
"Captain, I hear a constant sound coming from the hull of the ship, what is this? Could it be that it has hit some reef? It stands to reason that there can't be a reef on the Yangtze River?"
"Yes, Captain, I have to take this cruise ship several times a year, and I have never heard such a voice, what is going on?"
......
In the face of the passengers' gossip questions, the captain hurriedly laughed and said: "Don't worry, passengers, this is just some small fish in the river, accidentally hit the boat, our ship is very strong, there will be no problems." ”
After listening to the captain's explanation, some of the boatmen stuck out their heads and looked at the river, and indeed saw some fish rushing towards the cruise ship at high speed, slamming into the hull of the boat.
After identifying the source of the abnormal noise, the passengers breathed a sigh of relief and slowly prepared to go back to the house to continue sleeping.
At this moment, suddenly, the thud quickly became louder and louder, and it continued to hit the hull like hail.
The force of each fish hitting the hull is small and can be quickly dissipated, but once the amount is large enough, the momentum will increase exponentially.
Suddenly, the hull of the boat shook violently, and the passengers were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another, and several tourists standing on the edge of the boat directly screamed and turned over and fell into the river.
Seeing this scene, the captain hurriedly arranged for the crew to rescue, but when they were just about to jump into the river, they saw a piece of river fish rushing towards the cruise ship as if they were crazy, and instantly hit the boatmen who fell into the water all over the body.
This scene frightened the passengers on board, who screamed loudly and hid in their rooms, locked the door, and never dared to come out again.
And the captain hurriedly rushed into the wheelhouse, personally took the helm, and controlled the hull.
The huge impact came one after the other, and it lasted for about a quarter of an hour before it gradually subsided.
The captain held the rudder in his hand and was already in a cold sweat.
After hearing the sound disappear, he hurriedly rushed out of the wheelhouse with the crew to check the damage to the ship's hull.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, they clearly saw that the hull of the ship was hit by river fish everywhere, but fortunately it was not directly penetrated, otherwise in the center of the Yangtze River, both sides of the river are dangerous peaks and cliffs, once the cruise ship leaks, the consequences will be unimaginable.
This movement was very loud, and finally woke up all the passengers on the cruise ship, and everyone got up one after another and went out to check the situation.
In the end, under the captain's great comfort, everyone slowly dispersed, but Wan Yushan's brows furrowed.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Jingfa heard a loud scream from someone outside the door, waking everyone up from their sleep.
Outside, he saw the passenger in his pajamas, huddled in a corner by the side of the ship, shivering.
At this time, Jingfa suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood, rushed to the side of the boat, and looked at the river.
I saw the corpses of hundreds of river fish floating on the surface of the river, and the river water was stained red with blood.
