This horrific scene even diluted the joy of surviving a desperate situation. If he had just extended a helping hand to the third young master, he would be the one sinking to the bottom of the lake now.
The ghost in the reflection must be Xiyao. The scene just now was a repeat of Xiyao's tragedy, except that the protagonist was replaced by Mr. Feng's precious son.
The third young master is dead, Yang Xiao can be sure of this.
Su Tingting sat slumped on the ground with her back against the cabin, panting heavily, her fingers clenching the oars still trembling. Everything she experienced after coming to this world completely overturned her understanding. There are things in this world. It's spooky, and the horror is far beyond imagination.
After the red lantern of the Bochu boat disappeared, a big red lantern appeared in the mist in the distance, hanging swaying high.
The two of them had no choice but to try to get closer. The lake surface under the mist was completely different from that in the daytime, and it seemed so big that it was boundless.
Yang Xiao and Su Tingting held their breath and moved forward little by little in the direction of the red lantern. They were surrounded by white and could only hear the sound of water in their ears.
Suddenly, Yang Xiao became alert. A ship appeared not far away from them. As it got closer and closer, Yang Xiao saw clearly that it was a ship exactly like the one they were standing on. There was no one on board and there was no sound.
"Did the second team also die here?" Su Tingting was about to collapse. They were the only ones left alive on the huge lake.
Yang Xiao frowned after observing carefully and interrupted Su Tingting, "This is not our ship. There is no incense burner or lantern on the bow, and the things on the ship are wrong."
This ship is not old, and there is no water leaking everywhere. On the contrary, it looks better maintained than the one they are standing on.
"Isn't it our ship?" Su Tingting looked around with a guilty conscience, "Did the Feng family send other ships besides us to look for the third young master?"
Yang Xiao grabbed the pole and raised it a little above the water, "Pull the boat over and get closer."
Now Yang Xiao was the absolute authority in Su Tingting's eyes. Even if he asked her to jump on this unknown ship, let alone a boat, she would think about it.
With the cooperation of Su Tingting's paddle, their boat turned half a circle, but the next second, their attention was attracted underwater at the same time, and they saw something floating in the dark lake.
Taking a closer look, Yang Xiao couldn't help but be startled. It turned out to be a corpse. The corpse's back was facing up, and its face could not be seen clearly. There were more than one corpse, and there were others in the distance. These people were wearing the clothes of servants in the mansion.
Seeing that he was no longer a teammate, Yang Xiao felt relieved a little. If all his teammates died, he would have to face the next problem alone.
"Look at this man's head!" Su Tingting pointed at the floating corpse.
With a "pop" sound, Yang Xiao knocked down Su Tingting's hand, "Don't use your fingers. The floating corpse is full of resentment. Be careful of using you as a substitute."
At that moment, Yang Xiao also saw a very conspicuous tumor the size of a tennis ball growing diagonally on the back of the corpse's head.
"It's him!"
Yang Xiao recognized this person's identity. This person was the papermaker who sent them into the water not long ago. The paper figures in Feng Mansion were made by this person.
He actually died on the lake...
But the strange thing is, why didn't Butler Liu tell them that the papermaker would go into the water with them to search?
Connecting these events, Yang Xiao made a bold guess. It was not they who were actually sent by Feng Mansion to look for the third young master tonight, but this accomplished papermaker!
Their three boats were bait, aiming to attract Xi Yao's attention and buy time for the papermaker.
But judging from the results, the papermaker's team also ran into trouble, resulting in the death of everyone on the ship.
It was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so Yang Xiao immediately ordered to leave. The two of them continued to move in the direction of the red lantern. It didn't take long this time. As the fog dissipated, they finally saw the shore!
Su Tingting almost cried with excitement. She would never take a boat again in her life. This incident left a huge shadow on her.
"Don't be anxious, slow down." Yang Xiao reminded, he signaled Su Tingting to slow down his movements, "Do you know what to say when you get back?"
Su Tingting looked at Yang Xiao in confusion, "How do you say that?"
"Don't say you saw the papermakers, and don't mention the boat. Just pretend that these two things never happened." Yang Xiao lowered his voice, "Don't talk after you get ashore, and you must act very scared. , the kind that scares you out of your wits, you are good at this, I will handle the rest."
"Okay." Su Tingting followed Yang Xiaoyan's advice.
The distance was even closer, and Yang Xiao could even see clearly the dead face of Butler Liu. There were two boats docked on the shore. One of them was the same as the one at Yang Xiao's feet. It must have belonged to a teammate. The strange thing was that the other boat was on the boat. It was wet, like a sunken ship that had just been salvaged from the water.
After getting off the boat, Butler Liu came up to him with a strange look on his face, "How's it going? Have you found any clues about the third young master?"
Yang Xiao told Butler Liu exactly how he met the third young master of the paper figurine, and then encountered the ghost ship driven by Sun Amao. They managed to escape after a lot of effort.
As a script writer, it goes without saying that the plot has twists and turns after a little polishing, but it is done just right so as not to deviate from reality.
Seeing that Yang Xiao couldn't ask anything, Butler Liu turned to Su Tingting, who was on the same boat, but Su Tingting sat blankly on the boat, motionless, with a dull expression on his face.
A servant asked her a few questions but got no response, so he got on the boat and grabbed her with his hands, but Su Tingting suddenly screamed like crazy, scaring the servant and almost falling into the water.
"Quick, come here!" the servant also shouted, "She is possessed, she must be possessed!"
Everyone was in a hurry, and finally lifted the crazy Su Tingting off the boat. Su Tingting's hands and feet twitched from time to time, until Yang Xiao gave her a look of relief, Su Tingting tilted her neck and fainted.
Not to mention deceiving Butler Liu and the servants in this scene, even Yang Xiao was almost deceived. If Su Tingting hadn't received the code he sent, he would even suspect that Su Tingting was not acting and was really possessed.
"Do female college students have so many dramas now? It's amazing."
Butler Liu arranged for someone to send Su Tingting back to rest, and then took Yang Xiao to the other side of the shore. After turning a corner, a stone table appeared behind the wall, and several people were sitting together.
"Brother Chu!" Kuang Hongyi stood up suddenly.
The other two people also stood up, namely Shi Dali and Shi Guanming.
People came back from both boats. This was something Yang Xiao didn't expect. He looked around and made sure that Xu Su was not there. "Where's Sister Xu Su?"
Hearing this, Kuang Hongyi sighed and his face darkened, "She's dead. We ran into some trouble. Those ghosts got on our ship."
