Approaching the Xuanhe River, the creek has become a small river.
We have to dive through this water to avoid being discovered by the watchman...
After entering the Xuanhe River, follow the direction of the village entrance and swim for a while to reach the main road.
He Zhi and I watched the watchman in the distance vigilantly. He kept pacing along the river and showed no signs of moving away or relaxing.
And another troublesome thing is that I carry a big black wooden box with me, as well as the Nine Arts of Yinsheng and the House Sutra.
I definitely can't take these things into the water, otherwise I will destroy the Zhai Jing and the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng.
In addition, He Pheasant's diving ability is definitely not as good as mine. She may not be able to dive over such a long distance.
In this way, I can only approach the watchman first, kill him quietly, and then walk out of the water. Otherwise, I will have to go out alone...
I asked He Pheasant to wait for me first in the village and help me carry the big black wooden box.
My mind quickly analyzed the feasibility of these two things.
Finally I came to a conclusion that only the latter is feasible.
Because of the former, we may not have the ability. If something goes wrong, we will be besieged by many watchmen.
I also had to place the big black wooden box somewhere else, which added a bit of risk.
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath, turned to look at He Fei, and whispered, "I'll go out alone."
Initially, He Pheasant looked very unwilling, but when I explained to her my analysis just now, and also expressed the importance of the big black wooden box. There were two crucial books in it and they couldn't touch the water. Pheasant was obviously startled.
She looked at me with complicated eyes and said, "Do you believe me now?"
I said awkwardly: "I already know I was wrong."
Taking a deep breath, I looked even more solemn. I took out the scriptures and put them into the big black wooden box. I also took out the pig belly contained in it, as well as some things that could be used by people who fished for corpses underwater. thing.
"I will definitely be able to get out. Don't go back to Fang Zi's house. Don't fall into the hands of the watchman, otherwise you will become a handle. Find a safe place to hide in the village and wait for me to come back." I told He in a deep voice. Pheasant.
After a moment of silence, I continued: "If I come back late, or something happens later, you can find a safe place to hide, or go to Fenggangzi from here. Those people will never be able to escape." Dig an inch into the ground and dig three feet into the ground...the most important thing is to save your life."
After saying that, I handed the big black wooden box into He Zhi's hands.
He Zhi quickly took a few steps back and reached the shadow of a courtyard wall.
Her face was tense and she muttered something.
I vaguely heard her saying that I believed in her, she believed in me, and she was waiting for me.
Taking a deep breath, I crawled onto my stomach and carefully climbed to the water.
During this period, I looked sideways and looked ahead. There were a lot of weeds on the ground and I couldn't see clearly.
From my angle, I couldn't see the watchman guarding me, so naturally he couldn't see me either.
Soon, I got into the water from the riverside of weeds and stones.
The moment he entered the water, he felt cold.
The river water instantly enveloped my body from all sides.
The pressure that was everywhere on me suddenly reduced a lot.
It's like being in the water, I have more certainty and control...
The river was about two or three meters deep. I kept a small range of movements and slowly swam to the bottom...
There is a lot of sediment in the hanging river, but the bottom of this kind of river ditch is full of silt.
I just swam forward a few meters. After my body became more flexible, I carefully dug up a large ball of mud from under me and quickly kneaded it in my hands.
The blackened silt suddenly made the water around me filthy, reducing visibility a lot.
I raised my head slightly and looked up. This turbidity can make the water blurry.
If you look underwater from the shore, as long as you don't pay too much attention, you will only feel that the water has become turbid, making it difficult to spot people underwater...
Feeling slightly happy, I continued what I was doing, moving downstream while loosening the mud along the way.
And I didn't swim in the middle of the water, but swam close to the bottom edge of the river. This way, I would be more concealed.
Keep swimming forward, I estimate the distance.
The bottom of the river gradually became much deeper, no longer two or three meters. I estimate that after I swam forward forty or fifty meters, the depth would be four or five meters.
At about this distance, it should be near the watchman.
I kept my movements steady, dispersed a large group of silt, and made the water flow more turbid. Then I swam quickly along the edge of the river bottom to this section.
My movements accelerated evenly in a smooth manner, and at the same time I pulled the water plants on the bottom of the river forward, trying not to swing my legs and feet to reduce fluctuations in the water flow...
My heart beat harder and harder, almost breaking through my chest.
The water around us becomes more rapid!
During this period, I have used the pig's belly to ventilate several times, and the remaining breath will not last long.
Finally, a corner appeared at the bottom of the river ahead...
I was so happy that I increased my movements and quickly swam towards the hanging river!
There is no need to hold down my hands and feet, I can jump out more than ten meters away in a few clicks.
After entering the Xuanhe River from the small river, the water flow suddenly became much more rapid, and the underwater pressure also increased!
But my whole body felt relaxed.
I swam forward for a certain distance along the bank of the hanging river. When the pig's stomach had exhausted its breath and I couldn't hold on any longer, I swam towards the surface of the water.
When I surfaced, I was immediately stunned!
Because before I went into the water, the sun was still shining brightly.
But at this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
The lead-like dark clouds seemed to be sinking at any time, and there were bursts of muffled thunder. The sunlight had been completely blocked, as if it were dark night...
I subconsciously turned my head and looked at the entrance of Hejia Village in the distance.
I could still vaguely see a few watchmen walking around, and a group of ghost women were tied up in the middle of the village road, still not sure whether they were alive or dead...
Fortunately, no hags continued to arrive during this time.
I couldn't help but breathe a little faster.
The dark clouds covered the sun, coupled with the thunderstorm, the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.
This is a great thing for Granny He!
This thunderstorm is dark, and the evil spirits are even more fierce! He doesn't have to wait until nightfall, he can use the Five Ghost Soul Requesting Technique!
And if the watchman hasn't arrived yet, the celestial phenomena may not be useful to him...
Besides, I'm a little worried.
Will the mother and son still cause trouble?
Will the paper-pricked figures promised by the paper figures be suppressed by the rain?
Pursing my lips, I tried my best to dispel my thoughts. My worries at this time were all in vain. I rushed back as soon as possible to help.
I changed direction and continued swimming along the Xuanhe River.
This time I didn't dive underwater.
The distance is far enough that as long as I'm in the water, they can't find me.
I had to swim almost a mile to make sure they couldn't see me. My body was exhausted and exhausted before I could even get ashore.
The sky was getting darker, extremely dark and gloomy, and the thunder was louder, as if the rain would fall at any time!
It's almost as if it's really dark now...
I staggered slightly and walked along the roadside. Looking up ahead, I could still vaguely see some remnants of the smoke.
I don’t know how long I’ve been walking, but I guess it’s another two-quarters of an hour. I think we’re almost here.
No matter how far away it is, there will easily be side roads. There should be no problem waiting for the ghost woman to come here...
I just stopped and was looking around.
A blurry figure appeared on the road at the end of the line of sight.
My heart suddenly beat wildly.
But their speed is really slow...
It took a long time before they got close enough to see clearly.
But I was stunned.
After the shadow became clear, it was a man of about middle age, riding on the back of an old ox.
Next to it, there is a girl holding a cow rope.
The girl is about the same age as He Fei, and her appearance can't be seen clearly at this time, but her clothes are neat.
The middle-aged man wore a tall hat on his head.
And the clothes he was wearing were a light gray robe.
On his waist was not the ghost knife and mourning stick that all hags wore, but a whisk used by Taoist priests.
It was a cloudy day and the wind was strong, blowing white dust threads constantly.
I don’t know why, but when I saw him, I felt an uncontrollable sense of fear from the bottom of my heart. That feeling came from instinct.
These two people are definitely not witches!
