Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

When Ji Xun heard this, he quickly turned his gaze to the river. Sure enough, many men in the river seemed to be drowning, no, it should be said that they seemed to be dragged to the bottom of the water by something.

These men are not ordinary men, all of them are familiar with water, but at this moment, some of them are splashing in the water, sinking into the water for a long time without getting their head out.

Ji Xun hurriedly walked towards County Magistrate Sun, "There is something in the water, the county magistrate, please stop the game and sail over to save people."

County magistrate Sun was still mediating the conflict, and after hearing Ji Xun's words, he looked into the river and realized something was wrong, so he hurriedly waved a flag on the bank to signal to stop the boat.

The dragon boats catching up behind stopped when they saw a boat capsized in front of them, but it was not easy to save people. The dragon boats were originally streamlined and small, so they couldn't fit other people.

Fortunately, there were boats on the shore, and several boats were quickly sent over to pull up the men who fell into the water one by one.

Someone went into the water to save people, and climbed into the boat as if he had seen a ghost without swimming twice.

"There are water ghosts, don't go into the water, catch people with bamboo poles."

After hearing this, everyone was shocked, no one dared to go into the water anymore, they all took bamboo poles into the water, and the men who fell into the water grabbed the bamboo poles and climbed into the boat.

Shen Hailin was almost suffocated when he was dragged onto the boat, and it took him a while to recover, and he hurried to help rescue people.

Shen Yuan and Ji Xun were naturally also listening.

"It turns out that there are really water ghosts. No wonder there are many more people drowning in the river this year than in previous years."

Now that I think about it, the sudden loss of control of the boat in Liujia Village was probably not man-made, but something in the water changed the direction and caused the boat to collide. It seems that I must have misunderstood it before.

Not long after, the river calmed down, and almost all those who could be saved were rescued. As for how many were dragged into the water, it is unknown.

"Isn't it? One of my neighbor's sons was dragged in by the water ghost? The body was never found."
"It's too scary, everyone tell each other quickly, don't go swimming in the water."

The dragon boat is small and light in weight, so it easily capsizes like this.Seeing this situation, dozens of other dragon boats hurried to the shore, and quickly disembarked after landing.

Sun Juling's face was extremely ugly: "What kind of animal could it be? I've never heard of it." Of course, except for water ghosts, I've heard that water ghosts look like that.

Several men were out of breath, Shen Yuan quickly gave them CPR to rescue them, she alone was not enough manpower, and taught many officers and soldiers how to rescue them, fortunately, they were all rescued.

In the countryside, most of the water ghosts refer to the incarnation of children who drowned in the water. Now that all they see are children, they must be water ghosts.

Sun Juling blamed himself and grieved, unable to understand why this happened.

After evacuating the people at the scene, they comforted the family members of the deceased, and then gathered the men who were rescued from the water to inquire about the situation after falling into the water.

County magistrate Sun also changed his face. As a court administrator, he naturally cannot believe in gods and ghosts, but everyone's words can't be lying at the moment, so what else can that thing in the water be if it's not a water ghost?
Ji Xun said: "Where do ghosts come from in this world? It must be some kind of animal that lives in water."

Before Ji Xun could finish his sentence, a dragon boat parked at the side suddenly swayed from side to side, and soon the whole boat was overturned, and everyone fell into the water, and the men were thrashing about in the water.

How could the people who walked out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood on the Ji Xun battlefield believe in ghosts and gods?
As for Shen Yu'an, an atheist from modern times, of course he doesn't believe in the words of water ghosts, and his heart is full of doubts and puzzles, listening quietly from the sidelines.

Several boats that came back later rescued several more with CPR, and three boats continued to salvage in the water.

Shen Hailin spoke first, "I'm very good at swimming. I was dragged into the water twice and escaped. I saw that the person who dragged me was a naked child." When he said this, there was still residual panic in his eyes.

Another person answered with certainty: "Yes, it's a child, without even hair, definitely a water ghost."
As soon as the words of the two fell to the ground, many men nodded one after another, saying that what they saw was a child who was seven or eight years old, naked.

Of the three capsized boats, two people were missing from Liujia Village, one person was missing from Shenjia Village, and two people were missing from Zhaojia Village.

The county magistrate hurriedly summoned the heads of the villages to count the number of people. This count caused the scene to cry bitterly.

Everyone was uproarious, and Shen Yu'an heard these words, so she didn't believe there were any water ghosts, but right now she didn't have time to analyze what appeared in the water, she was busy saving people.

After another half an hour of salvage, nothing was salvaged, and the five people were missing.

"There are water ghosts in the water, it's true." After the rescued people came ashore, they all looked terrified.

"No." Shen Hailin answered very positively, "It's just the skin that is smooth and soaked pale."

"Yes, yes, I can assure you that it is true. After I fell into the water, my right foot was grabbed and dragged me to the bottom of the water. Fortunately, I am good at water, so I kicked the water ghost off with a few kicks. Saved a life.'
"Me too, I took a look after kicking it off, a white shadow, like a child without clothes, it's too scary!
The people on the shore also exploded.

And the boat that rescued the people quickly returned one.

After hearing this answer, Shen Yuan was completely confused. Biology was not too bad when he was studying. There is no such thing as a child in the water. Could it be that there are really water ghosts in this world? Shen Yuan himself is not sure stand up.

Shen Yu'an is also confused. The river is wide and deep. Even if there is a 'Chinese sturgeon' in the water, she doesn't think it's strange, but what everyone sees now is a 'creature that looks like a child'. What kind of creature is this?
"Do you have hair on your body?" Shen Yuan asked.

Ji Xun said: "Master County Magistrate, those dragon boats may let them land first, and they don't know what's in the water."

Ji Xun remained calm as usual: "Everyone, don't be afraid, it can't be some water ghost. I'm a good swimmer, so I'll know when I get into the water."

Shen Yuan hurriedly grabbed him: "Ah Xun, you can't go." Xindao is really ignorant and fearless, maybe it is really a water ghost? She couldn't think of anything other than a water ghost.

"Since you are worried about your husband going, then think of a different way." Ji Xun said, "Take a sheep, or chicken or duck, tie it with a rope and throw it into the water, fish it out, and you will know it at a glance. .”

"Okay, let's do it like this." County magistrate Sun knew that if this matter was not resolved, it would be a big problem, and the five missing people would not be able to communicate with each other, and maybe the black yarn on their heads would not be guaranteed.

Soon, County Magistrate Sun asked Catcher Li to quickly find a chicken and tie it up with a rope. He took a few men with good water skills into the boat and rowed to the center of the river.
