Logically speaking, my second uncle is more experienced than me. If there was "something" following us, he would have discovered it long ago...
Am I mistaken?
After swimming a few meters further, I turned my head and took a look.
There is a figure in the turbid water, really following us!
The thing seemed to notice that I was looking at it, and suddenly it became motionless...
I endured the uneasiness in my heart and didn't look at it. I straightened my head and went to inform my second uncle.
That's definitely not a living person!
As a result, the second uncle had already dived seven or eight meters.
I quickly continued downstream.
However, I failed to catch up with my second uncle. When I reached the bottom of the water full of sand and rocks, he stopped and I reached him.
There was someone lying at the bottom of the gravel, but it made my heart feel cold.
The man's hands were tied to his chest, his eyes were closed, but his mouth was slightly open.
He has short hair on top of his head, a round head, and bulging veins on his forehead.
This... is my father's body!
The second uncle looked at me and I understood that he was urging me to tie the body.
I suppressed the sadness in my heart, first raised my hands, put my index and middle fingers together, made a crossed gesture, and then pointed upward.
The second uncle paused, murderous intent burst out of his eyes, and he suddenly looked up.
The corpse fisher cannot speak underwater, but he has a set of sign language that can express his meaning simply.
What I want to say is that there is a "corpse" above us, and the person who comes is not good!
I also raised my head at the same time.
But at this time, there was only turbid river water above, but nothing could be seen.
The second uncle looked confused, but he turned around and pointed at my shoulder.
I didn't dare to stop any longer, so I used the pig's belly to breathe first.
Then he squatted down, took off the ropes from his shoulders, and tied up his father's body.
His body was as stiff and cold as stone...
I tied him tightly with the five-flower tying method, and then tied the other end of the rope into a tight knot around my waist!
My second uncle stretched out his hand to stop me once. I acted resolutely and ignored him!
After tying up the body, I raised my index fingers on both hands and pointed upward.
I'm waiting for my second uncle to nod.
But he bent down first and pulled something out from my father's waist.
It was the corpse-retrieving knife used by my father!
He inserted the divination knife into my waist and then nodded.
My legs suddenly exerted force and I swam upward.
There was a heavy feeling in my waist. I exerted all my strength to swim upstream, and then I was able to swim a little further.
I lowered my head and glanced down. My father's body was like a straight tree trunk, which I pulled up.
I took another breath with the pig's belly and continued swimming upstream!
I am very fast and very alert to changes in the water.
Now the force down there is not so heavy.
I knew that it was my second uncle who was holding my father's body, which relieved me a lot of pressure.
I have been worried that that thing suddenly came out just now.
I am also afraid of my mother, she is in the hanging river...
But my worries seem to be unnecessary.
Not long after, I saw the shadow on the bottom of the corpse boat!
I was so happy that I would get on the boat later and pull my dad on board, so I could finish the job!
I have more energy and can swim faster!
But there was a force falling back on my waist, which made me groan, and there was a sharp pain in my waist...
The veins on my forehead bulged, so I exerted all my strength and continued to swim upstream!
The anti-fall force reached a balance...
It must be that the second uncle is also exerting his efforts, otherwise, this third fishing may have failed.
My muscles all over my body were tense, and I used all my strength to swim upward bit by bit.
In the last few meters, I breathed three times, and my body was sometimes cold and sometimes hot.
Finally, my head popped out of the water!
He grabbed the edge of the boat with one arm and suddenly jumped up, half of his body on the boat.
I climbed up with difficulty, and the moment my body fell into the hull, I immediately backhand and grabbed the rope.
The friction resistance of the rope is very high and your hands will hardly slip!
This is a green hemp rope soaked in black dog blood, with steel wire wrapped inside, and it's tough enough!
I pulled the green hemp rope hard and stood up quickly.
Little by little, I pulled the green hemp rope out of the water.
My heart is filled with joy...
Just as I was concentrating on pulling the rope, suddenly, my ears twitched.
There was a thin sound behind me, as if someone was walking towards me...
My head was buzzing and my scalp was numb!
Not daring to relax my strength, I suddenly turned my head and looked.
Standing more than one meter behind me was an extremely short "person", only about one arm tall.
Its eyes are huge, occupying one-third of its head, its nose is short and flat, its nostrils are everted, and its lips are extremely thick!
No, this is not a human being!
In addition to being afraid of being haunted by death, corpse hunters are also afraid of encountering something else!
It’s the water monkey in the water!
This thing is so powerful that it can drag a cow down from the shore.
They are also called water ghouls.
The older water ghouls specialize in eating corpses for a living. The more sinister the corpses, the more they like them.
Corpse fishermen fish for corpses in the water, and water ghoul ghosts often fight to the death!
I've seen my dad kill water ghouls in the past, and he was seriously injured every time and returned home alive...
I was covered in cold sweat, and the water ghoul suddenly jumped out and hit the door directly in front of me!
Its shining nails are trying to scratch my neck!
I felt a chill in my heart, so I suddenly raised my leg and kicked him hard!
With a bang, it was kicked away by me and fell into the water with a splash...
But the next moment, there was a splash in the water, and it jumped out directly, grabbing my crotch with its shining claws.
My legs suddenly went weak, and the rope on my hand slipped a lot, which shocked me even more.
I also became fierce. If I don’t kill this water ghoul, my father won’t be able to catch it!
His right hand quickly let go of the green hemp rope. At that moment, his left hand quickly pulled the rope around twice and tightly wrapped it around his forearm.
At the same time, I took out the divination knife from my waist with my right hand and slashed it towards the neck of the water ghoul!
I have quick eyes and quick hands, and the water ghoul also rushed forward very quickly.
But when it came, fear burst out from its eyes.
There was a "click"... This sound was extremely slow, and the divination knife slashed into the back of the water ghoul's neck.
It let out a shrill scream and retreated crazily after landing on the hull. With a crash, it fell into the water and disappeared in an instant...
I was panting heavily, not daring to relax, so I lifted the knife smoothly, bit the back of the knife with my teeth, and immediately started to pull the rope with both hands to continue fishing for the body...
I was almost watching all directions and listening in all directions, for fear that something might happen again!
Not long after, there was a soft splash in the water, and my father's body was pulled straight out of the water.
The next moment, the second uncle broke through the water and came out.
He was still holding my father's waist with both hands, but he was shocked when he looked at me.
"Fuck...Yin Yang, what are you doing with the fortune teller in your mouth?"
With the knife in my mouth, I could only make whining noises that I couldn't explain.
The next moment, the second uncle's expression suddenly changed, he scanned the water surface vigilantly, and said quickly: "Hurry up, let's go ashore!"
