The moonlight was clear and bright, and I could see clearly that the man who was washed ashore by the river was a man, about thirty years old, naked. After being rushed up, the man lay motionless on the sand.
I've been staying by the river for a long time, this kind of thing is not uncommon, I can see that this should be a dead person.
"That man didn't wear a shirt." Fatty Xu lay beside me and whispered to my ears, "Did you forget that when the old man talked about his village during the day, he said that after the three ships sank, no Seeing people, only the hat and jacket were washed ashore."
"Yeah." I nodded, and I remembered what the old man said clearly.
However, this must be very strange. People who die in the water cannot stay in one place all the time. Although the river here is gentle, the water is always flowing. If people die in the water, they would have been washed away by the water. Going far downstream.
Wow...
At this time, another wave of water surged to the shore. A corpse was still mixed in the muddy waves. The corpse was still topless. After being washed to the shore, it was like the previous person, lying face down. On the bank of the river, nothing moved.
The three of us didn't understand what was going on. Before we could discuss it, the waves continued to roll, and several people rushed up one after another.
These people are naked and between the ages of 30 and 40. Although we have not seen the villagers in the accident before, we can judge with our toes. This must be the old man. The fishermen who sank with the boat.
"This happened." Baijue Taoist stared at a few corpses on the river bank and said: "You can kill and bury. People are dead, and the corpses are returned."
"At this time, you don't want to talk about these heartless words, let's go and take a look to see how people died." Xu Fatty buried Baijue Taoist words and wanted to see what those corpses were. what happened.
At this time, a corpse suddenly moved, and Fatty Xu quickly retracted his neck. Immediately afterwards, the six corpses on the river beach seemed to be shaking their arms and legs gently, and it didn't take long for them to get up one by one.
I was shocked, is it a mistake? None of these people died
After a few people stood up, they slowly lifted their legs and walked towards the other side of the river beach. We suddenly didn’t dare to move. Looking back at the river surface, it seemed that calm had been restored. Only these few people could not tell whether they were dead or alive. Villagers.
"This is... Is this the Lord Long showing kindness?" Baijue Taoist stroked his beard and said, "Let the people come back and have a look?"
On the river beach, there have been many related legends. Many people who have had an accident in the river can’t let go of their wives and children. If the family members are sincere and give the tribute, the Dragon Lord will give extra kindness and let them go. Come back and meet your family again.
I don’t believe in this kind of legend that when a person is dead, he is dead, and where so many miracles happen.
"Don't be nonsense." Xu Fatty also sneered at Baijue Taoist's words: "Is there a Dragon Lord in this world?"
"Do you know that?"
"Then you have seen it with your own eyes? If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, do you know that there must be Lord Dragon?"
"Have you seen your father born with your own eyes? If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you know that your father must be there?"
When the two of them started fighting, it was endless. I hurriedly stopped him.
Guys, keep your eyes on those few people.
Although I don't believe in the legend that the Dragon King let them come back to meet with his family, but looking at the direction these people are walking, it is obvious that they are heading to a village not far away.
The village is very close to the river beach, but because of the high terrain, it has not been ravaged by floods for so many years. The few people walked slowly, staggered, and did not squint or talk to each other. Looking at their backs, I hesitated again. I have seen a lot of things while walking around the rivers and lakes over the years, but I can't tell whether these people are dead or alive.
I thought for a while and immediately divided the work. Baijue Taoist and I followed those few people to have a look, let Xu Fatty stay where we were, and continue to observe whether there were changes in the river course.
Bai Jue Dao Ren and I got up with a cat waist, ran out of the hiding place, and constantly used the depressions on the river beach to cover ourselves. Regardless of whether they live or die, the villagers are ordinary people anyway. It is not difficult for the two of us to keep up.
My judgment was correct. These few people really entered the village. After entering the village, the few people separated, and it seemed that they were walking towards their homes.
Fatty Xu and I stayed at the entrance of the village and observed for a while. Sure enough, after these people entered the house, several households turned on the lights one after another.
However, before I and Baijue Taoist could speculate about what was going on, those families, old and young, all went out one by one, walked to the neighbor's house next door, and slammed the door.
For a while, there were knocking sounds everywhere in the whole village, and the watchdogs were all awakened, barking barking and jumping around.
"The people of this village are simple and honest." Baijue Taoist picked his nose and said: "Not only to meet with his family, but also to bid farewell to the neighbors."
I ignored him, I just watched it with my heart. At most, for a moment, all the people in a village woke up and followed the six people from the road in the village.
At this moment, I was dizzy again. The six people who had been washed up from the river were staring, as if leading the way. A village of men, women and children, all sleepwalking, followed behind with closed eyes. The few watchdogs in the village were silent at this time, and shrank in the corner, silently watching the crowd pass by.
Although the crowd was walking slowly, they were walking all the time. After a while, they walked to the entrance of the village. Baijue Taoist and I hid in the dark. Seeing this, I felt that the scene in front of me seemed familiar.
"This is an important person of the Dragon King."
"Fart dignitaries." I interrupted Baijue Taoist's words, remembering that when I first set foot in river beaches and lakes a long time ago, I saw ordinary people who were deceived by the roads of the world and the roads of heaven and earth, walking down the river like corpses. After going down the river, all these people were sent to Huangquan Road to do coolies.
It's just that this kind of thing is not very common. Human Road generally doesn't do too much. It's impossible for all the people in the village to get rid of it. Besides, even if the old and weak women and children go to Huangquan Road, they can't make any effort. Therefore, they are just abducting some strong laborers.
Now that I don’t know what’s going on, Baijue Dao and I have been trailing behind, following the people in the village, walking out of the exit from the village, and slowly walking towards the river beach.
In the second half of the night, hundreds of people in a village were all on the river beach, and the six who were walking in the front
The man still did not stop and walked straight towards the river.
The two of us quickened our pace, walked around from the side to the front, and ran to Xu Fatty. Fatty Xu kept staring at the river, saying that there was nothing unusual about the river.
"I also said that there is no abnormality, you are blind!" Baijue Taoist pressed his voice, pointed to the side, and said: "Several whirlpools that are so big, can't you see?"
"The whirlpool has just come out, not a moment ago, Niubi, you can speak politely..."
Sure enough, I saw several whirlpools appearing in the river bend close to the shore. The whirlpools were very large, each of which was two to three feet wide, covering the entire river bend. The six people walked to the bank of the river, and without hesitation, they continued to move forward.
At the same time, the villagers behind them all took a step forward and walked over together. The formation was obviously confused and wanted to follow them down the river. These are all ordinary people. Can there be a way to survive after going down the river
"Those whirlpools are very similar to the entrance of Huangquan Road." I turned my head and said to Fatty Xu: "We have to take a look."
"Entrance of Huangquan Road!?" Fatty Xu became energetic at once, doing his part: "I'll go and see!"
The five-colored golden man was in the boat by the river. When Fatty Xu heard that these whirlpools might be the entrance to Huangquan Road, he was so excited that he hurriedly left his true body in place, and his soul thoughts attached to the five-colored golden man.
The five-color golden man crawled out of the boat quietly, pressed against the river beach, and sank into the water quietly. I can see the five-color golden man floating on the water, swimming towards several whirlpools not far away.
The five-color golden man swims fast, and the villagers on the shore walk slowly. When the first six people stepped into the water with one leg, the five-color golden man had already swam to the front.
Boom! ! !
The vortex of the river has been slowly rotating silently, but when the five-color golden man swam past, the vortex suddenly speeded up, setting off a wave of waves. The whirlpool turned quickly, as if there was an invisible suction force, to suck the five-color golden man in.
The five-color golden man struggled in the water, this thing is not invaded by water or fire, and with great strength, it is stubbornly fluttering in the water. Bai Jue Dao Ren and I stood up back and forth. If the situation is not right, we must try to get the five-color golden man back.
"Those villagers are going into the water." Baijue Taoist said: "You have to stop it."
I nodded. With so many people, it would be difficult to clean up if they were in the water before and after.
Huh! ! !
At this moment, I saw a bamboo pole suddenly stretched out in a whirlpool. On the bamboo pole, there seemed to be a thin noose. The noose was thrown away with the bamboo pole, and it immediately caught the five-color golden man's neck.
After the five-color golden man's neck was looped, the bamboo pole shrank back into the water. The noose was very thin but extremely strong. The five-color golden man was dragged into the whirlpool like a hooked fish.
The strength in the whirlpool is terrifying. After all, the five-color golden man is in the water, and the strength can't make it. I saw that the momentum was not good, so I rushed over, trying to pull it back, but it was still too late. After a step, when I ran to the river, the five-color golden man was suddenly dragged into the whirlpool.
The vortex suddenly seemed to boil, rumbling and tumbling water waves, the turbid water waves up and down, vaguely, you can still see the five-color golden figure struggling with something in the water.
