I picked up the three water glasses on the table, lined them up in the same direction, and said, "The roots are here, the trunk is here, and the crown of the tree should be right here - Gushan Island."

Gushan Island is the only island on Fuxian Lake. It stands alone in the lake and is also one of the tourist attractions.

"Impossible." Ye Xun shook his head and said, "I have been to Gushan Island. There is Gushan Park and a tourist area there. It is densely populated. How could it be a tree crown? I think according to your arrangement, the tree crown should be at Under the water.”

I shook my head and said: "Two of the seven mysteries of Fuxian Lake are related to Gushan Island. The first one is King Shark Palace. Legend has it that Gushan Island is supported by ten pillars in Fuxian Lake, and under the island is King Shark 's palace."

"The second legend is the Gushan No-Fly Zone. There is a triangular area near Gushan where there are no electronic signals. It is very similar to the legendary Bermuda Triangle. I think there must be a mystery hidden on Gushan Island."

Ye Xun still refused to believe it: "Even if this is the case, how do you explain the tourist area on Gushan Island?"

I couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. After all, Gushan Island is not an inaccessible barren mountain. The entire island has undergone construction and development. Even if there are any secrets, they should have been exposed long ago. Is it our turn to guess here

When I was silent, Dong Xiaowei suddenly said: "I believe in Wang Huan's judgment. Didn't Zhang Hao find out a legend about Gushan Island?"

When Dong Xiaowei looked at Zhang Hao, the latter nodded hurriedly and said: "I have indeed heard of it. Legend has it that Gushan Island has been occupied by bandits three times. The last time was in the Republic of China. The Kuomintang's plane was still on Gushan Island. It was smashed into pieces by the impact. It is said that all the instruments failed after the plane flew there."

Another classmate said: "I have also heard a legend that a herring formation will appear under Gushan Island. Some people said: A long time ago, when a fish king came out to play, he got into the cave under Gushan Island. They never came out again. Later, in order to save the king, the fish formed a fish formation and hit the lonely mountain. However, they failed to break through the big lonely mountain that trapped the fish king, and only smashed the small lonely mountain. Later, the fish came every year. Facing Gushan to worship the Fish King, that’s how the Gushan Fish Formation came about.”

I looked at Ye Xundao: "The travel brochure also mentioned that fish came to worship the Shark King, and it was basically the same as what he said. The legend in the travel brochure was: The Shark King got into a place with a small mouth and a big belly. , can never come out again, so Gushan Island is called Shark Palace."

As soon as I finished speaking, one of my classmates said with a trembling voice: "Isn't the Jimensame who captured us also came from the Sharo Palace? I heard that those who worship Gushan are not fish, but ghosts!"

I turned around and said, "What do you mean?"

The classmate slowly said: "Legend has it that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Shuangli, one of the five commanders of the Great Western Army under Zhang Xianzhong, led his troops into Jiangchuan County. At that time, the magistrate of Zhou County led three thousand people to evacuate to Gushan Island to avoid the soldiers. Disaster. Magistrate Zhou was protecting the people and was captured alive by Feng Shuangli. He refused to surrender and was killed by Feng Shuangli."

"The people of Gushan were shocked to hear that Magistrate Zhou had been killed, and cried loudly. In addition, their families were ruined and they had no way to die. In despair, three thousand people unanimously committed suicide by drowning on the south cliff of Gushan Island. Legend has it that at that time, Gushan Island There were dozens of corpses floating for miles, rainstorms continued for days, and the waves rolled on Fuxian Lake. The corpses in the water were like big fish disappearing and appearing. They surrounded Gushan Island to stop the powerful enemy, and Feng Shuangli was not allowed to step into Gushan. Later, Feng Shuangli somehow landed on Gushan Island, destroyed all the buildings on the island, and left with his troops."

"Later, the south cliff of Gushan Island was renamed Sheshen Cliff. Every July 15th, people would go to the south cliff to worship their ancestors. Fish schools would also gather towards Gushan at this time to form a fish formation. People here believe that, The Fish Formation is the three thousand people who fought tooth and nail to protect Gushan."

When the classmate said this, he raised his head with horror in his eyes: "After Chechi and the others killed the fish, we have been chased by the ghost-faced shark, and the tour guide also came back to find us... That is the fish turned into a ghost looking for us to take revenge. ah!"

I stared at that person closely and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The classmate said: "I told you when I came back, but you didn't pay attention!"

"Didn't I notice?" My memory has always been very good. If he really said it, I would definitely remember it.

Dong Xiaowei said: "He did say that you didn't listen to the whole story at that time, only half of it. You stopped listening after you heard that Feng Shuangli occupied Jiangchuan County."

"Really?" I am now a little doubtful about what happened at that time. Did I really neglect something at that time

I recalled it for a long time, but still didn't dare to confirm anything. I could only vaguely say: "No matter what, we have to go to Gushan to see it. Let's rest for a while, let's go out and get a boat, and go around Gushan first. Let’s talk about it later.”

I originally wanted those students to take a rest, but in this situation, no one could sleep. I simply stopped waiting and took them out of the villa towards the lake.

While others were rushing on their way, Ye Xun deliberately lagged a few steps behind and whispered to me: "Bring them all out, is it wise?"

I reacted immediately.

I know exactly what Ye Xun means. Ye Xun and I cooperated, so we didn’t need to worry too much, but with classmates like me, it would be easy to be timid. They each have their own plans, but they will immediately fall into chaos when something happens. No one cares about anyone else, or they don't want to care about others. If they are in danger, there will be no other consequences except casualties.

Should I let them go back

As soon as this idea popped into my head, I couldn't get it out of my mind.

When I was thinking about how to get those classmates back, Ye Xun suddenly pulled my sleeve and dragged me to the side of the road: "Get into the water!"

"Get off..." As soon as I said one word, I caught sight of the oncoming police car from the corner of my eye. I immediately dove into the water and stood close to the lake.

Not long after, I heard the sound of the police car opening the door: "Are you Wang Huan's classmates? Has he come to see you?"

After being questioned by the police, none of my classmates spoke.

They must have been confused. They all knew that I was walking at the back, and I didn't have to look outside to imagine that some of them must be subconsciously looking back. Their thoughts cannot be hidden from the eyes of the police.

After a while, I heard someone walking towards me along the lake shore. Before the other party reached the lake, Ye Xun kicked down the rocks and sand on the shore. The lake water around me suddenly became turbid, basically blocking my body.

"Did you see anyone coming here?" The policeman was probably talking to Ye Xun, and Ye Xun said calmly: "I didn't see him."

The policeman asked again: "What are you doing here?"

"Look at the scenery." Ye Xun only said two words.

The policeman asked unexpectedly: "Are the footprints on the ground just made?"

Oops!

My heart suddenly "thumped". Did I leave footprints on the shore when I went into the water

Ye Xun said: "I don't know. I just came here and followed them."

Fortunately, Ye Xun didn't say that the footprints were made by himself. At this time, the more you cover up, the easier it is to reveal your flaws.

The policeman took two steps above my head and stopped. Soon, I heard a splash of water coming from above my head. Are the police washing their hands

I quickly squatted down into the lake and stood half bent over in the water. The water in Fuxian Lake is clear. If Ye Xun hadn't kicked the stone just now, I would have been seen by the police.

The police finally stopped and shouted in the distance: "You little classmates, come here."

Why did he call me classmate

I almost couldn't hold my breath. If he called my classmate over to say a few words, I wouldn't be able to get out of the water to take a breath. This is not fatal!

What's even worse is that none of my classmates were still hesitant and unwilling to move forward. It took a long time before they came over.

I couldn't hold my breath anymore, so I tried to slowly poke my head out of the water. Who knows, just as I was about to put my head out of the water, someone stepped on the top of my head and pushed me into the water.

It was definitely Ye Xun who did it. No one except him dared to do anything near the police.

But I can’t do it without breathing! I have reached the limit of my endurance. If I don't take a breath, I will stand up from the water out of instinct.

When I tentatively stretched my head to the water again, Ye Xun stepped down with his two bare feet, and both feet covered my face. I quickly breathed out into the gap between his feet. Before I could take a deep breath, he stepped into the water again.

The policeman asked inexplicably: "What are you doing?"

Ye Xun said matter-of-factly: "There was sand in my shoes just now, please wash your feet."

While Ye Xun was talking, he sank his two feet into the water together and stepped on my shoulders - he sat by the water and washed his feet to protect me. But the more this happens, the more worried I am. If my classmates let it slip, Ye Xun might be able to do something with his courage.

While I was in the water holding my heart, I heard the police say: "I know that you and Wang Huan are classmates. It is not easy to get along with each other for four years in college, and the friendship between classmates is also very sincere. However, friendship cannot replace the law. You are both College students all know that harboring criminals is also against the law. I hope that before you make any decision, you will think about whether you are helping Wang Huan or ruining your own future."

The policeman paused and said, "I know you want to help him, but I must tell you that the best way to help Wang Huan is to persuade him to surrender, rather than helping him hide."

After the policeman finished speaking, his partner also said from a distance: "You are helping Wang Huan now. Maybe he will confess you after he is arrested. The crime of harboring also requires a prison sentence. You think clearly."

The soft and hard dialogue between the two policemen is the most fatal cooperation.

My heart couldn't help but lift.
