"Since it can only be solved in the water, let's go into the water." Haitang said with a smile.
"You didn't tell me why he was his opponent in the water. If he had any accomplices, three of them would have died." Heizi immediately refused.
"I didn't let you swim in, we have a boat." Haitang didn't get angry with Heizi and still smiled.
"But even Xiaotian almost capsized when he entered." Zhou Jiaonan said with some worry.
"If one boat doesn't work, then get a few more." Haitang said and looked at me.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" I slapped my thigh excitedly and stood up.
"Wait a minute, don't get excited. Even if we connect a bunch of boats together or even build an underwater platform, the question is how to catch that thing?" Heizi came over and pushed me back on the sofa.
"The opposite of resentment is righteousness. We need to find a few ordinary people with righteousness to serve as bait." Mudan startled me when she started talking.
"Is this impossible? What should I do if something happens?" I was a little nervous.
"No wonder the forest ranger's old friend was turned into a zombie on the bottom of the river. Wasn't he just going down to save people..." Heizi seemed not to have heard Mudan's words and was analyzing it on his own.
"There are definitely risks, but there is currently no other way." Mudan said.
"Even if we lure that thing out, the question is how to catch it?" I returned to the question Heizi asked before.
"Iron chains." Mudan said with a roll of her eyes.
"Fishing?" Heizi interrupted.
"It's not fishing, it's hooking." I thought about it and stood up.
As soon as we left the house, we contacted the old doctor Wang Liangshun. He was the most familiar person in this town.
Things involving Biyu Lake are also related to the livelihood of the people in the town, and the people who come here are more active than me.
"Mudan, I'll leave the iron hook matter to you and Heizi." I looked at the two of them and said.
"No problem." The two nodded vigorously and pulled the two blacksmiths to the side to discuss.
"We need to build a platform, and then go to the lake to catch that thing." I said directly to the people in front of me.
A few carpenters immediately started talking, and a few boatmen put forward some opinions.
In the end, we decided to use the wooden boats on the lake as the bottom, fasten all the wooden boats together, and then lay wooden boards on top.
In this way, even if it sinks, it is impossible for it to sink completely, and it is impossible for it to sink at all unless the whole thing explodes.
We just went ahead and finalized the plan. Everyone in town who could do it came, even us.
Carload after car of lumber has been delivered to the lake, and carpenters have begun to connect wooden boats on the shore.
Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high. Watching our platform continue to unfold in the water, there was a little more hope to clean up the things in the water.
The ranger uncle also came to help, but we didn't dare to tell him that his old brother had become a zombie walking on the bottom of the river.
The blacksmith also made rapid progress, and huge iron hooks were quickly delivered.
We didn’t need any instructions. As soon as the hook was delivered, the town residents spontaneously gathered around and threaded strong hemp rope on the big hook.
When everything was almost done, it was almost dark, and everyone worked together to push the large platform of hundreds of square meters into the lake.
"How do you choose someone?" Heizi came over and asked softly.
"Easy." I said and jumped directly to the platform.
"Everyone be quiet..." Seeing that I was about to speak, Lao Wang immediately shouted at everyone.
He spoke more forcefully than the mayor, and everyone present immediately fell silent.
"Only the few of us can't hold up this platform, and we have to deal with getting things, so we can't be distracted. I need a few boatmen." I said it directly to everyone without talking nonsense.
As soon as I finished speaking, the crowd started talking, and even Heizi looked at me with some confusion.
Logically speaking, I should say a few reassuring words to ensure your safety and to rest assured that we are here for you.
But if this is the case, how do I know if they are completely voluntary? This is righteousness and righteousness. Only such people can lead the corpses from the bottom of the river.
"I'll go." I didn't expect that the first person to raise his hand was the ranger uncle.
I nodded and reached out to pull him to the platform.
The carpenter designed seven oar positions at the end of the platform, and also designed wooden guardrails. If a person stands on the oar positions, unless the platform overturns or the person jumps off by himself, safety is absolutely no problem.
The ranger uncle said hello to us, and then walked to the oar position and stood up consciously.
"I'll go..." With this leader, someone else came out immediately.
"I'll go too..." Things went much smoother than I thought.
"Tianshi, I have no place..." The boatman who finally climbed onto the platform stood aside and looked at me awkwardly.
"All boatmen, blindfold," I shouted.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at me in astonishment.
"Don't look at that thing and you'll be fine. It just so happens that he has no place and he will guide you in the direction." I said and looked at the boatman who asked the question.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and one by one they quickly took the cloth strips handed to them by the people below and quickly tied them around their eyes.
"Are you all covered?" I asked loudly.
"Okay." All the boatmen responded in unison.
"Turn on the lights." These lights are all rechargeable lighting equipment in the town.
As soon as the lights are turned on, the platform instantly lights up like daylight.
"Master Tian, how can I give them directions?" The lone boatman hurried forward.
"Here is the watermelon." I said, pointing to the watermelon in the frame.
Naturally, we still use the old method to fix the corpse, and with these boatmen as bait, I don’t believe we can’t lure that thing out.
"This..." The boatman naturally didn't understand and looked at me with confusion.
"Don't ask, you'll find out later." Heizi smiled and patted the boatman on the shoulder.
Since it was something harmful to people, I didn’t set up an altar to worship it. I just picked up a watermelon, pasted it on talisman paper, and tied it with red thread.
"Settle down and guard the altar. Your Majesty has ordered us to hunt down the evil spirits. We are as urgent as the law. Forgive me!" As soon as I pointed the sword with the seal in my hand, the watermelon flew into the water.
Speaking of this watermelon, there is no such thing in this town at this season. The truck driver in the town notified his colleagues from other places to deliver it from a long distance.
We left a gap two meters long and wide in the middle of the platform. There were several spotlights around the gap that illuminated the bottom of the lake. Naturally, the watermelon was thrown into this gap.
As soon as the watermelon fell into the water, it kept running forward. The boatman who guided the boat was dumbfounded for a moment and was speechless. You must know that the lake is calm now.
"Don't be stunned, let's set sail." Heizi looked at the guide boatman and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I understand..." The boatman finally calmed down and looked away.
Following the guide boatman's shout, everyone on the oars moved in unison, and the oars were inserted into the water at the same time.
"Thank you for having a professional." Heizi looked at me with a smile.
The chants spoken by people on the water were instructions. The boatman shouted, and the platform followed the direction of the watermelon and slowly sailed towards the lake.
"Brother, I'm going to release my protective spirit ghost to help, don't be afraid." I walked up to the guide boatman and said in a gentle tone.
"Oh, okay." He probably didn't understand, and nodded dully.
"Also, you must not look into the water, just stare at the watermelon." I looked directly at the boatman and said seriously.
"Understood." The boatman responded nervously.
"Relax, we will protect you." Heizi patted the boatman's back gently.
"Wei Yucheng, Liang Feng." I walked aside.
"The end is here." Two ghosts appeared at the same time.
Even after saying hello to the boatman, although he couldn't see Wei Yucheng, he could see Liang Feng.
As soon as Liang Feng's zombie face appeared, the boatman was still too frightened to stand still. He took two steps back and fell to the platform.
Fortunately, the platform was large enough. If it were an ordinary boat, the boatman would probably fall into the water.
"It's okay. This is my senior brother's protective spirit ghost. There is another one you can't see. Don't be afraid. It's a good ghost." Heizi stepped forward to help the boatman up and motioned for him to continue guiding the people on the oars.
"Okay...Okay..." The boatman stood up shakily, and when he saw Liang Feng standing respectfully in front of me, he shouted the slogan again.
"You two are responsible for lowering the hook and lifting that thing up. Remember, don't look into his eyes." I told the two ghosts in front of me.
"Understood." Ergui said and picked up the prepared hook.
"What are we doing?" Heizi and the three women came over.
