Chapter 156
The black shadow left with a smile and went to the corridor on the second floor. Suddenly, he saw from a distance a boatman on the first deck taking advantage of the night to relieve himself.
She immediately stretched out her fingers, and then a black shadow flew toward the boatman close to the ground.
This caused the boatman to stumble, his feet seemed to slip, and he fell from the edge of the boat into the dark river.
Fortunately, there were other boatmen beside him at this moment. Seeing this scene, three ropes were immediately thrown down.
"Hold the rope!"
"Be careful, don't be swept under the boat by the undercurrent."
These boatmen are also people who are familiar with water. If they are called sailors in later generations, they are sailors. Almost all of them grew up near the water.
As soon as the fallen boatman touched the water, he spread his limbs. He was indeed experienced.
Although he was not swept down by the rapids, he caught the rope dropped by his companion in time, and immediately wrapped the rope around his waist.
When his companions saw him grabbing the rope, they weren't too worried.
It was common for them to fall off the boat when they were on a boat trip. As long as they didn't hit an undertow, it was generally not a big problem.
Some people even laughed: "Why are you so brave and want to jump into that water?"
But the bed worker who fell into the water looked unhappy: "How could I jump into the water when I was full and had nothing to do? Someone just pushed me."
The companion above looked at me and I looked at you. He was urinating on the top just now, but no one came near him.
"What are you talking about? Who would push you into the water?"
The boatman who fell into the water shouted angrily: "It was obvious that someone pushed me, why didn't you acknowledge it?"
As the person involved, he clearly felt a pair of hands reaching out from behind and pushing him hard.
"Can you climb up?" The companion above stopped joking and asked him seriously: "Do you need a rope ladder?"
The boatman who fell down was holding on to the rope tightly, and suddenly he shouted in a panic: "It seems like something is pulling my feet, and I can't climb up."
Under normal circumstances, with their skills, it is not difficult to climb up with only a rope, even without a rope ladder.
But at this moment, the boatman who fell into the water shouted in panic, and his body gradually sank into the water.
First the chest was submerged in the water, then the shoulders and head.
"Save...save~~~whirlpool~"
The last word that the boatman who fell into the water shouted was with his mouth in the water.
At this moment, he really seemed to be dragged by something and was about to be dragged into the water.
The companions on the boat shouted: "Lao Zhang, don't be ridiculous. It's not fair to scare people at night."
But at this time, Lao Zhang could only stretch out his hand to show the water, and his head was completely submerged in the water.
The companions looked at it for a while and felt something was wrong, so they all looked at an old boatman.
The old boatman's name was Lao Wang. They all came from the same place, and they were all brought out by Lao Wang.
Lao Wang looked at the situation down the river and immediately pointed at a few young boatmen and gave them signs.
The little boatmen understood it, so they hurried over, unbuttoned their pants, and peed underneath.
In their line of work, traveling on waterways at night encounters countless strange things.
Only when you experience more, will you accumulate more experience.
Before a young boy gets married, his body is pure yang, and a dip in the urine of a boy can often ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and it works repeatedly.
At this time, the four boys peed in the wind. As soon as the urine hit the water, Lao Zhang suddenly seemed to have really breathed a sigh of relief and crawled half of his body out of the water with a struggle.
He panicked and called for help from above: "Help me... pull me up quickly... there is really something dragging my feet down here."
"Quick, throw the rope ladder." Old Wangtou asked someone to bring the rope ladder and immediately threw it down.
Lao Zhang stretched out his hand to grab it and wanted to climb up.
But there was something dragging his feet, making it impossible to lift them up.
The dark figure standing in the cabin walkway on the second floor was lying on the railing, watching the scene with a smile, as if he didn't think it was lively enough.
Or maybe he felt that the behavior of the four boys peeing in the wind was too vulgar, so he stretched out his slender fingers again and tapped the backs of the four of them one by one.
Just when she finished clicking,
Just as the four boys were about to put on their trousers, they suddenly screamed in panic and fell down one by one from the edge of the boat.
Plop, plop, four sounds in succession, and all four boys fell into the water.
The black shadow in the aisle of the cabin on the second floor was so happy that he even clapped his hands.
Lao Zhang was not rescued, and four more people fell down. The other boatmen on the boat also panicked.
Suddenly, ropes and rope ladders were thrown down again, calling them to catch them quickly.
But those four young men were boatman apprentices. They had not yet mastered their skills, and their experience was not as sophisticated as that of Lao Zhang.
Four people fell, and in less than two breaths, three of them were involved in the undercurrent.
The remaining person was lucky enough to grab the rope, but he was also shouting: "Uncle Wang, there is really something grabbing my feet under the water... It is dragging me and not letting me out."
The old Wangtou on the boat turned pale after hearing this.
He hurriedly ran to dig out his luggage, took out the incense candles, and asked others to help light them. At the same time, he took out the paper money and threw it into the river.
"Don't blame me. Please let these children go. They are all poor people. They work as boatmen to make a living. It's not easy for them. Please forgive me."
Lao Wangtou knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.
When other boatmen saw this, they also knelt down and kowtowed.
But no matter how sincere they apologize, the people below have no intention of letting the drowning person go.
Lao Zhang was dragged down again, and his head was submerged in the water.
One moment the surviving boy was half of his body above the water, and the next moment he was suddenly dragged under the water and disappeared completely.
The old Wangtou on the boat was so moved that he banged his head on the board of the boat: "These children are ignorant, please forgive them, please forgive them..."
When there was a commotion outside, Jiang Ling suddenly came out of the boat house and went outside to see the situation on the bow of the boat. He was about to ask what happened.
The old Wangtou suddenly called him: "Guests, please go away and don't get close to the edge of the boat. Five people have already fallen into the water. This water area is not very peaceful."
He spoke tactfully,
The implication is that there may be something unclean in this water area.
Five people have already been entangled by evil spirits. If anyone else falls, they may not die well.
Jiang Ling frowned slightly. Could such a thing happen on the ship he was on?
Immediately, he walked to the edge and looked down.
Unlike others, he has opened his Dharma Eyes and can see darkness like daylight.
The first time he looked down, he saw a boatman struggling in the water, his face turned purple, and he was very uncomfortable.
And this boatman was none other than Brother Zhang who had talked to him during the day.
Looking down Brother Zhang, Jiang Ling vaguely saw a dark shadow dragging Brother Zhang's legs, pulling him deeper.
