Chapter 1378 The Moon
The most terrifying thing is that through the gap, the wind is blowing outward. It is cold enough on the lake, but this wind is even colder, no, it is not just cold, but There was a chill that was so chilling that it seemed to freeze every bone in a person's body.
I don’t know what the old fisherman was thinking. He was suddenly very curious about the scene in the cabin. This curiosity even overwhelmed the fear in his heart. As he tremblingly stretched out his hand, he slowly pulled Opened the cabin door.
The moment the door was fully opened, the silence on the boat was broken. Someone screamed, and the old fisherman who bore the brunt staggered and almost fell off the boat.
There was actually a person lying in the cabin.
No, it should be a corpse. The corpse was half-hidden in the dim cabin, with its head facing their direction. From the old fisherman's perspective, half of the corpse's face could just be seen.
It was a man's face, with sharp edges and corners, and even a somewhat heroic look. He was wearing a set of old armor. As the hatch opened, a faint rancid smell filled the air.
This is obviously a general with a high position.
"The corpse...these damn officers and soldiers actually stuffed the corpse of their leader into the cabin of the ship. What do they want to do? After killing someone, do they blame it on us poor people?" Someone immediately It exploded. According to the laws of the dynasty, killing a soldier was a capital crime, let alone such a general. Their families might be implicated.
At this time, the gray-haired old man seemed to see something. He reached out and took off the lantern hanging on the bow of the ship. He slowly approached the bed cabin. After looking at it for a while, his expression suddenly changed. He said, "No, the armor this man is wearing is not the standard of this dynasty."
"It's not the armor of this dynasty. Did you see clearly?" The thin man could not withstand these repeated shocks. He was an honest and honest fisherman, and he was already crying.
"Yes, this is...this is the armor of the previous dynasty!" The old man insisted, "It can't be wrong. I used to be a blacksmith and I have seen this pattern. It can't be wrong!"< br>
Now things are becoming more and more confusing. On this ship, the body of a former general appeared. Although it may have been put on by a later generation with a set of armor from the former dynasty, who would do that? ?
Furthermore, when dynasties change, especially in Luo'an City, an important frontier town, the affairs of the previous dynasty are extremely strictly monitored. Once the armor of the previous dynasty is found secretly hidden, the end result will be death.
Everyone can't figure out the reason for doing this. Also, the officers and soldiers must know about the body of the former general. So the question is, what do these people want to do? Let them take a corpse to the depths of Spring God Lake. Should they send the corpse away, or use this corpse to lure them out...
Thinking of this, everyone dared not think about it anymore. The old fisherman and the gray-haired old man were more sensible. They knew that if the matter was not investigated clearly today, even if they could leave alive tonight, they would still be attacked by the officers and soldiers when they returned to the shore. If they can't solve this problem, they will have no chance of survival.
After thinking about this, the two became bolder. They ducked into the cabin and began to explore the bodies inside and whether there were any other clues.
As expected, they soon made a new discovery. They found water stains on the body. The body was wet from top to bottom, as if it had just been salvaged not long ago. At the same time, they also found water stains in the innermost part of the cabin. A pair of fishing nets, a long rope, and a big rock tied to the end of the rope.
The most important thing is that there is a wooden box. Inside the box is a letter carefully wrapped in cloth.
These people are all fishermen, all old and rough. Only the gray-haired old man and the old fisherman know a little bit about the words. The two of them guessed while watching, and the more they watched, the more frightened they became. Finally, they were convinced of the letter. I roughly understand what I said above.
Naturally, the letter was left by the previous officers and soldiers. I was worried that they would not be able to understand it. Most of the letter was in vernacular. The letter told them not to be afraid when they saw the corpse. When they saw the corpse, they must have come to the lake. deep in the lake, and also warned them not to waste their efforts. Before completing the requirements, they would absolutely not be able to leave the depths of the lake. There was also this heavy fog, and it was impossible to return to the shore.
If they want to come back alive, they must do as they say and keep driving towards the center of the lake. There is no need to use the oars to row, the current will take them to the final direction.
What they have to do is to throw the net down after arriving at that place, and then no matter what is caught in the net, do not look at it, let alone make the decision to pick up the net without authorization. Remember, as long as you feel that you have caught something in the net Things, immediately, immediately set off the boat, and then tried their best to drive the boat in the direction of the shore in their impression.
If you really can't judge the direction of the shore, then remember to stay away from the moon, away from the moon in the sky, and in the opposite direction to the moon. Keep driving, don't stop, and don't look down at the water. Remember.
The two of them felt chills after reading this incomprehensible letter. No matter how stupid they were, they knew that something evil had happened. I am afraid that what they were asked to salvage this time was very strange.
"Do you remember those fishermen from before? Those who were locked up with... us?" The bald man heard the conversation between the two and was so frightened that his tongue was tied. "Did something like this happen to those people, and then... And then they didn't complete the mission, so they all... died in this lake. ?”
Although the old fisherman was scared, his thinking was still clear. He thought to himself that this was nonsense. It must be the case, but now he wanted to know what happened to the corpse of the former general. , why...why didn't you mention a word in the letter?
Putting down the letter, the old fisherman squatted down and began to look at the body carefully. The body looked quite fresh, and there were still some water plants wrapped around it. The old fisherman had been living by the lake for most of his life, and he could tell at a glance that This is the unique beauty fragrance in Spring God Lake. Combined with the fishing net, the old fisherman has a bold guess that the body of the former general was fished out of Spring God Lake, and... and the time will not Long, that is, not long ago.
But this guess is too weird. Even if there are really corpses of people from the previous dynasty in Chunshen Lake, it was many years ago. The corpse has been soaked in the lake for so long, even if it has not been The fish and shrimps in the lake have been chewed and soaked to death by the lake water. How can it be still so intact? If you don't look carefully, it looks like a living person.
When you touch it with your hands, you can see that there is a layer of disgusting mucus on the corpse. The mucus is very slippery, like the kind found on fish.
Before the old fisherman could continue thinking, suddenly, the thin man squatting behind the hatch seemed to have discovered something. He touched the door bolt with his hand and made a strange sound, "It's... so sticky here." (End of Chapter) )
