smuggler

Chapter 110
Although the surface of the river outside the boat shed was still shrouded in an ominous layer of fog, fortunately there were no dangers along the way, and the boat went smoothly.

The old man who was frightened at the beginning, now his face has regained some color, his voice is still a little shocked, and he said to us: "We are almost there, and it is normal to have fog here. When we are close to Fengshan Village, there will be a cloud of fog all year round. .”

It seems that the things under the water have not followed up, and I feel more relieved.

If you encounter corpses and ghosts on the bank, you can deal with it, but if something happens on the river, there is really no way to deal with it.

If what the old man described before is true, then it is not unusual for places like Fengshan Village to accumulate fog all year round.

Whether it is the terrain or the customs of Fengshan Village, the whole village has become a deadly place. The accumulation of resentment over the years and the formation of miasma can only show that the inside is not peaceful.

Chu Yuan tied the gauze on the side, and it seemed that there was nothing serious. He turned his head and asked, "The river god you are talking about, are those who died under the water?"

When the old man heard this, his face was full of sorrow, and he sighed heavily: "To tell you the truth, too many people died in this river, and various things happened, this place has bad geomantic omen. Well, a few years ago, I specially invited the elders of the temple to do rituals, but the effect was minimal. The elders said that there were too many dead souls in the water who could not be saved. , basically encountered some evil things.”

The old man said that if the boat on the river was fine, but there was a sudden thick fog on the river without warning, it might be the river god in the water who was doing something weird.

Just like encountering a ghost hitting a wall, the boat can't get out of the fog and keeps spinning in place, or like we did at the beginning, the boat was directly anchored in the river.

This must be meeting the river god.The old man said that there are three situations. The first is that the water ghost finds a substitute. The probability of this kind of thing is not very high, because it is said that the substitute that the water ghost finds needs to match his horoscope.

The second is encountering ghosts blocking the way. These are ghosts in the water who come to beg for money. It is best to get rid of them. As long as you burn paper and offer incense to them, they usually leave.

The third type is the corpse hugging boat we encountered.

People who don't often take boats in this river rarely encounter such weird situations, but at least half of the old boatmen who have sailed on this river have been harassed by "corpse hugging boats".

The so-called "corpse-embracing boat" means that the boat in motion is suddenly fixed in the current without any external force, as if something is holding the boat.

In such a situation, as long as you go into the water and take a look, you will definitely see a corpse standing upright in the water under the boat. The corpse seems to be standing in the water, with two hands supporting the bottom of the boat.

People who used to go on the boat had to carry incense candles and tributes on board all the year round, as well as some messy things, because they thought that the corpse holding the boat under the water must ask for something.

That's why they dragged the boat and refused to let go. Only by doing their best to meet the requirements of the corpse could they escape safely.

Generally, when encountering a boat with corpses, the boatman will throw things into the water one by one until the boat can start again.

This kind of thing is very popular in the local area. The old man doesn't know whether throwing tribute into the water will work or not, but he has heard of a story. There was a time when a corpse hugged a boat, and the boat carried more than a dozen people across the river. people.

The boatman threw down all the incense and candle offerings, but the boat remained motionless, and was trapped like this for more than an hour. The people on the boat were crying and crying, and they were completely panicked.

The boatman knelt down to the bow of the boat and begged unceasingly, saying that next time he went down the river, he would definitely prepare a thick offering.

The plea of ​​the boatman was answered, and soon after, the water patterns scattered on the turbulent river surface, and finally gathered into a character "person".

Things suddenly became very cruel. The boatman told the people on board that the "things" under the water wanted human sacrifices.

In the end, a teenage girl was thrown into the river, and the boat, which had been motionless, was suddenly able to move on.

When encountering this kind of thing, we can only resign ourselves to fate. Whether the whole boat can survive depends entirely on the "mood" of the corpse holding the boat.

The old man said in a low voice: "At first there was a word in the river, it should be that the underwater river god wanted to board the boat, let us take him out, many foreigners died in this river, some of them died ghosts from other lands Maybe I have an obsession with my life, but I can't leave the river, so I want to get relief in this way."

It can be seen that the old man is very regretful, saying that he should not have earned this money, and he has never encountered such a wicked thing before sailing according to the rules.

It is said that the boat cannot be taken in July, because the gate of hell is wide open, and the God of the River is going to come out to collect debts.I looked at the old man with a look of remorse, and I didn't pay attention to what he was muttering behind.

But thinking of the scene that happened at the beginning, it is absolutely impossible for the underwater corpse to get on the boat.

I'm not trying to avenge Yinhun, but he had all kinds of obsessions about his life and how he died in this river, these are all nothing to do with us.

The old man's story seems to be almost the same, and after such a toss, he lost all interest and just rowed on his own.

Just like that, after more than ten minutes, the old man suddenly said, "We'll be there soon, be careful."

At this time, through the thick fog, I also saw the outline of a small island.

The boat slowly approached the port.

The old man said that the river is surrounded by mountains, and there are villages on both sides of the river, and each village has a port by the river.

If you go to the market town, you always come to take a boat at the Dan port, but the port of Fengshan Village seems to have not been used for a long time, and it is covered with layers of moss and a little moldy.

"I still advise you not to take this risk. There is nothing unusual about this village. You have seen what happened at the beginning. This place is very evil. I advise you not to stay in such a place."

The old man saw both of us disembarking with packages and was still persuading us.

But I have made up my mind, and Chu Yuan also told him to just do what he said when he got on the boat.

Seeing that we are determined to go to Fengshan Village, the old man nodded: "Since you are determined to go there, then I will not stop you, but let's make an agreement that I will come here after three days, and I will wait for the two of you." If you don't come when the time is up, I will leave."

The old man had another meaning in his heart. It is estimated that if we don't board the boat for two hours, we will basically die in it.

I nodded and followed Chu Yuan off the boat.

When I arrived on the shore, when I stepped on the ground, I really felt the feeling of being down-to-earth.

It's much more comfortable and solid than floating on a boat without a bottom.

But when I got down, I swallowed and looked at this place with an indescribable uneasiness, as if the island attracted everything around it.

And once I got off the boat there was definitely something wrong with me, I found the place to be a little too quiet.
