Chapter 935: The Ghost Ship
The Hanshui River is just a small body of water formed by the tributaries of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but it is a big river and sea for landlubbers who live in the northeast all year round. The water is very wide, and the small motorboat sails on it like a lonely leaf, like a grain of dust and sand in the desert.
Xiao Man and Ma Chengfeng sat on the bow of the boat and looked at the hazy mist on the water, and they didn't know where they were. But looking back, the hands of Pu Laofu in the cabin were not on the rudder at all, but let the boat blow with the river breeze.
"Senior...... You...... Have you ever been to Hanshui River before? How? Don't you even need to look for it to know where the Xuanwu Temple is? Ma Chengfeng asked him in surprise.
"I haven't been here, just because I haven't been here doesn't mean I can't find it, look at what's hanging under the bow of the ship?"
Ma Chengfeng grabbed the deck guardrail, looked down, there was a rope tied under the bow, and a small bucket was tied to the rope, the bucket was half floating under the water, half was still exposed above, there was water in the bucket, it was very turbid, but it could be seen that there seemed to be a living creature in the water. It should have been a fish, but because the bucket was shaking so much, Ma Chengfeng couldn't tell what kind of fish it was.
"Hey, boy, don't move, don't move, the living have yang energy, you can't touch that little play, let go!" Seeing that he was about to reach out and lift up the small bucket that was half floating on the river, Park Laofu hurriedly rushed up to stop him. "That fish can't touch the yang energy, don't be impatient, as long as the boat stops for a while, we can find the so-called Xuanwu Island."
The fog on the river is getting heavier and heavier, how heavy is it? Eventually, the little motorboat floated on the river, and several of them couldn't even tell that the boat was moving. This kind of weather is indeed a bit evil, if it weren't for Park Laofeng to accompany them, these two landlubbers would not dare to come down even if they died.
"Senior, are we still leaving? How do I feel like I'm not moving? Xiao Man went down, reached out and touched the surface of the water, and the water ripples on the water surface immediately spread.
"It's not the feeling, it's that it's really not moving, the boat is stopping." Park Lao Fu said as he looked at the calm water.
"Arrived?"
"No, this water area is so evil, it is impossible to calm the Xuanwu statue. Our boat was hooked by something underwater. Park Laofu's face was not shocked, as if this kind of thing often happened to him.
He took out his burlap backpack from the cabin and pinched a wad of yellow paper with the outline of the penis printed on it. He lit the paper money, and threw it into the air, and the yellow paper finally fell into the water with the light of the fire, and when they looked down, they saw where the paper ashes had fallen, and a small whirlpool appeared under the water, and rolled all the paper ashes on the surface of the water into it.
"It's all gone, it's all gone." After pouring out the paper money, Park Lao Fu slowly walked back to the cabin with his hands behind his back.
Not to mention, it really works, after burning the paper money, the small motorboat was immediately blown by the river breeze and moved slowly.
"Senior, we have also been to the Hanshui River before, if the Hanshui River is really evil, it is old and dangerous, last time we also followed an old fisherman, how did we get to you with just a few words?" Ma Chengfeng asked him curiously.
"Human life is different, I am a water collector, the water collector is the king of the water, we worship the ancestor mermaid, different from ordinary fishermen." He said slowly.
In late autumn, the wind on the river is very comfortable on people's faces, and it is neither hot nor cold. The small motorboat passed through the layers of mist and gradually drove into a wider body of water ahead. The fog in the waters was small, but it was quiet, as if all the fish under the water had fallen asleep, and none of them were gone.
The small motorboat drove until about one o'clock in the second half of the night, and then slowly stopped again, but this time it should not be a problem underwater. The waters are calm, there is no fog on the river, and everything looks normal.
"Here it is." Park Lao Fu walked to the deck, looked down at the bucket under the bow of the boat, and said.
The bucket was filled with water, and the little fish in it swam away along the overflowing river.
"Although the waters are open, there is no trace of the island?" The view on the river surface is very good, the endless river surface is empty, and the moonlight is sprinkled on the river surface, shining a silvery-white light, which extends to the end of the horizontal line.
"I can't see it yet, it's not the right time for us to come, Xiangyun said today, when did his father come last year?"
Xiao Man recalled that her summer vacation should be in early July.
"Oh, if I'm right, it's the fifteenth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, what day is it today? The fourteenth lunar calendar? Well, one more day! ”
"Senior, what can we see when we come over tonight?" Ma Chengfeng was a little puzzled, since he had long known that he couldn't find Xuanwu Island at this hour, why did he take this risk?
Park told them that the Xuanwu Island they saw tonight and tomorrow night were completely different. You wait here for me, I'll go down and see. With that, he took off his shirt, jumped into the water with a thud, and dived in the blink of an eye.
Park Lao Fu is good at understanding the nature of water, but he will not worry about him, I am afraid that even if the fish in the water drowns, he will not drown.
The waters of the Hanshui River are very mysterious, and the two of them passed through a dangerous water last time in a boat, but not here. The water is so empty that you can't see the shore from the left or right. Every body of water has its own rules, which have been set by fishermen on both sides of the strait and the dragon lord in the rivers, lakes and seas for thousands of years, and no one dares to break them. No matter what time of day it is dark, the fishermen will disappear from the water. I'm afraid that even the current fishermen can't say what they say, it's all the rules left by their ancestors.
The two of them were the only ones left on the calm water, their eyes wide and small, and the moonlight above their heads sprinkled on the river, but they did not have the slightest sense of romance. There is no way, for the two landlubbers, they can only hope that the boat will dock early, and only when they step on the land will their hearts be steady.
"Cheng Feng, why do I feel a little cold? Is it windy? Xiao Man asked as he slipped into his arms.
"It seems that the temperature is down, it's okay, it's cold at night on the river, let's wait for him a while." Ma Chengfeng took off his coat and put it on her.
Although the river breeze is not big, it is enough for a small motorboat without a motor! The motorboat was slowly and leisurely blown by the river breeze, drifting farther and farther.
"Cheng Feng, quickly turn on the motor, the boat has floated away!" Little Mando.
