Everyone working on the water surface knows what Uncle Yan calls dark water.
So the captain seemed to have realized something and ran quickly towards the wheelhouse. He was preparing to take action himself and quickly move the ship out of the water.
The location where we are now is dark water, because there is an island in the river, which narrows the river channel and shortens it by one-half. There are tall mountain walls on both sides, blocking the sunlight. The water here is year-round.
You can't see any sunlight, not even a little bit of direct or oblique sunlight.
Such waters are dark waters. As for what exactly attacked us just now, no one has time to think about it now.
In order to cooperate with the captain's actions, Uncle Yan turned around and ran towards the small bamboo raft fixed on one side of the ferry. There were all things that Uncle Yan had brought. He insisted on asking Captain Liao to bring them on board in advance, saying that they would probably need to use them.
arrive.
One of them I have seen is the long bamboo pole that Uncle Yan used when rowing at Niujiatun Reservoir.
"Hongyi boy, come here to help..."
This bamboo pole is very long. I don’t know how long it took Uncle Yan to use it, but it still looks emerald green in color. There is no sign that the bamboo has lost its chlorophyll and turned yellow after being cut down for a long time.
They walked to the side of the ship carrying their pennies, one in front and the other behind. There was another violent impact and vibration on the ship's hull. The captain had already cursed in the cab, and the two female voices were frightened from the second floor.
's screams.
But the engine in the boat hasn't started yet, maybe there's something wrong.
In order not to let these people cause trouble to Uncle Yan, I shouted loudly, "Everyone, sit down where you are and find something to hold on to make sure you don't get hurt or fall into the water."
Maybe these few collisions increased the threat. Those students who had never seen the world no longer dared to make any sense, and they all obeyed. I motioned to Miaomiao to stay back and not stand next to the fence.
"Boom." The sound of an object falling into the water came. It was Uncle Yan who had already thrown the Penny into the water. Now he and Lang Hongyi were holding the Penny firmly with four hands. Uncle Yan was facing the cab.
The other side yelled at the top of his lungs, "Light the fire again, let's go!"
Strangely enough, just when the captain thought about the possible danger of the matter, went in to restart the ship, and continued to move forward quickly to leave the dark water area, the engine that had been pushed up after the first impact actually failed to start.
When I was anxious, I heard Uncle Yan's roar, and immediately pressed the start switch. The engine suddenly started working, and the ship began to move slowly. The strange attack just now stopped, as if nothing had happened.
After successfully getting out of the position surrounded by dark water, the ship successfully turned around and once again headed towards the leading position while everyone was trembling with fear.
At this time, those students who had been chirping and talkative just now were extremely honest, and the second floor was so quiet that it seemed like there was no one alive.
The ship began to turn again not far from the dragon's head. This time, the captain obviously remembered what happened before and avoided the shadow shelter under the dragon's head. He made a big turn before turning around.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought everything was finally over and back on track, a girl holding the railing on the second floor shouted at the dragon's mouth, "The dragon has sucked water!"
Everyone looked up and saw a magical scene. Right at the very lifelike dragon head, a dripping water slowly appeared visible to the naked eye, but it still hung there, like a giant dragon head.
The dragon opened its big mouth, revealing the majestic waves of water in the innermost part, which seemed to have not been sprayed out for a long time.
This phenomenon only lasted for a while. The next moment, a waterfall with splashing water slowly formed from small to large, falling from a hundred-foot-high cliff to the water surface.
Miaomiao looked at the neutral ruler on one side of the river in confusion and said, "That's not right. I clearly remember that the water level is not here. Why is the dragon sucking water so proud this year? Is it a solo performance for us to see?"
I almost fell in love with the cuteness of this young lady, but unfortunately it was not the time now, because my eyes clearly saw black shadows in the dark water area, and even silver fins that had emerged from the water.
The presence of fins proves that my previous thought that the attack might be caused by a large crocodile was shattered. Crocodiles, no matter what species they are, do not have such huge fins that stand upright and are silver.
"Uncle Yan, there is something in the water here!"
Uncle Yan had already started collecting the pennies upwards. Hearing my voice, the two of them ran over carrying the still dripping pennies. As soon as Uncle Yan arrived, he looked towards the water.
There is no doubt that the target is also facing the dark water area that does not see sunlight all year round, but now there is a waterfall interfering from above, so it is not very clear, but Uncle Yan still sees the clues.
"Come on, let's get to the pier first, and then we can all go ashore."
After all, on a boat like this where we can’t keep our feet on the ground, except for Uncle Yan who feels safe, all of us are not good at water. Even if we can swim, there are unknown things in the water. Just ask who dares to get into the water!
The door to the cockpit was not closed yet. The captain seemed to obey Uncle Yan's instructions and started the ship directly, heading towards the dock at the lowest point of the dragon's waist.
Here, Uncle Yan and Lang Hongyi have once again placed the bamboo pennant in the river near the dark water side. The two of them pulled hard to ensure that the bamboo pennant would not be washed away by the current. It looked like it was very difficult.
It's strange to say that those aquatic creatures with silver fins didn't come closer, as if they were afraid of the pennies in the water. Even if some were eager to try and approached cautiously, after getting close, they still left obediently and looked at the pennies.
The black shadow disappeared into the distance.
The captain may have been more careful. He entered the port very slowly and lightly. The pennies in the water were not extracted at all. There was even dark water that could not be avoided. Even the people and the boat were shrouded in shadow.
.
Uncle Yan said in a calm voice, "Everyone, get ashore and get off the boat."
The meaning is obvious, that is, all crew members, including the crew, must be evacuated.
Normally it would be absolutely impossible to ask them to leave their ship, but after this situation, the crew members and the students came ashore one after another, and according to Uncle Yan's instructions, they moved all the available things on the ship that could be moved.
Go down.
There are only four people left in the whole ship: me, Uncle Yan and Captain Liao, plus Lang Hongyi.
With less people waiting around, I had time to ask Uncle Yan, "Is that thing in the water just now a fish?"
Uncle Yan nodded, and he and Lang Hongyi used cables to fix the Penny on the side of the ship. Because he was worried, he made many layers of protection, and even tied one end of the rope to the iron door of the cab as a fixation.
I know that Uncle Yan is ensuring that the ship will not be attacked after we disembark.
"It's a fish, but it's not an ordinary fish. This is an iron-finned knifefish. They are huge, extremely fast in the water, have strong attack power, their bodies are hard, and their heads are as sharp as a broadsword.
This is a rare species, and it is definitely not an accident that it appears here, because their growth conditions are harsh. They can only breed and grow in places where there is no sunlight all year round and the water temperature is very low. Only when they are big enough will they go to other waters, but still
It cannot see light and can only grow in dark water."
