Chapter 307 Under the Black Water
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a boat that was a full circle larger than the boat they were on slowly sailed out of the fog.
The moment they saw the boat clearly, the expressions of the four of them changed to varying degrees.
The boat looked like an old-fashioned black-covered boat with a boxy cabin, but what really terrified them was that the boat was painted bright red from top to bottom, which was very dazzling.
Floating in the mist, it looked like a blood-red coffin instead of a boat.
It seems that this is their second boat.
It's also the one for An Xuan and Xia Meng.
Although there was no clear regulation, everyone present had the same thought in their hearts. This blood-red boat must be used to hold corpses, that is, the "bride" they were about to pick up.
Without further hesitation, An Xuan slowly pushed the boat closer, and when the distance between the two boats was about one meter, he took a deep breath and jumped onto the blood-red boat.
There was nothing unusual on the boat, and then Xia Meng also jumped over. When the two inspected the boat, they found that the boat hidden in the mist was not as new as imagined, but very old.
The blood-red color on it is not blood, but paint that has been painted on. It looks good from a distance, but it is mottled and mottled when viewed up close, and many places have fallen off.The original wood color inside was exposed.
The whole ship seemed to have been soaked in water for a long time, the water vapor was very heavy, and some places were already rotten, a piece of rotten wood could be torn off with a little force on the handle of opening and closing the cabin.
The cabin was still dripping water from time to time.
"This boat doesn't look like it's on the lake normally." Crouching in front of the cabin door, An Xuan stared into the cabin and said, "It looks like a sunken ship that was salvaged."
Xia Meng was silent for a long while before she opened her mouth and said, "I can't control that much, let them go into the water first."
The time was limited, and according to the regulations, they had to find the female ghost's body before the second drum sounded.
Throwing the rope over, the fat man and Chen Qiang tied the rope around their waists, and then helped each other check whether it was stable. Looking at the dark lake, the fat man's heart trembled.
But there is no way, you may die if you go down, but you will definitely die if you don't go down.
Chen Qiang also seemed to be very scared, but he still encouraged the fat man and said, "Brother fat, if you encounter any danger down there, just signal to me, and I will come to help you."
"Thank you." Fatty nodded to Chen Qiang, "You too, if you are in danger, please tell me with your hand."
Fatty had a good impression of Chen Qiang. He didn't seem like the kind who was very calculating. When choosing costumes, he also asked himself to choose first.
If it was within his ability, Fatty thought he would give him a hand.
"Are you ready?" Xia Meng stood at the bow and urged, "Hurry up when you're ready."
The fat man looked at the black lake water, and then swallowed, "Is it going down here? The dead bride is under the water near here?"
He raised his head and said, "But why do I remember Shi Liao Zhi said that it should be near the shore?"
"Look back." An Xuan interrupted.
Turning his head, the fat man found that the fog behind him had dispersed a little, and not far away was the shore, where the embankment built of stones was looming, and it was exactly where Liao Zhi's finger was.
"After we go down, we will communicate through the rope." An Xuan tugged the rope around their waists, Fatty and Chen Qiang could clearly feel the force from the rope, "Pull once means to float up and take a breath, pull twice quickly If you are in danger, we will pull you up immediately, and we will pull you up three times if you find a dead body."
"It's very dark underwater, try to move within the range where each other can feel each other after going down." An Xuan added worryingly: "Be sure not to separate."
"Pfft!"
"boom!!"
The two entered the water one after another. Chen Qiang seemed to have diving experience and his movements were relatively flexible, but it was hard for the fat man, he took a big breath, and then followed down.
But to the two people's relief, the water is not as deep as they thought, and there is still a little light. It is difficult for untrained people to open their eyes underwater, but at this moment, both of them have done it .
The fat man puffed out his cheeks, and his two chubby hands groped cautiously under the water.
This is a very scary and weird feeling. He wants to touch something, but he doesn't want to touch anything.
Chen Qiang was right behind him.
The two of them made an agreement before they went into the water, and they would try their best to stand back to back and rely on each other.
Unlike what I thought before, the bottom of the lake was very clean, without many messy obstacles, and the fat man even caught a handful of fine sand.
Chen Qiang also had the same doubts. They all had a feeling that couldn't be called a feeling. It seemed...it didn't look like there was a corpse here.
Holding your breath in diving is no better than holding your breath on land. Soon, the fat man couldn't take it anymore. He poked Chen Qiang behind him, and the two looked at each other before they began to pull the rope to float up.
What reassured the two of them was that the higher-ups immediately started pulling the rope after receiving the news. Chen Qiang, because of his better water quality, also followed suit, so the speed was faster.
In contrast, Fatty's movements were much clumsy. He swayed his legs vigorously and tried his best to jump up. The outline of the boat was already blurred on it.
"Boom!"
One didn't get it right, and his head hit the bottom of the boat hard.
The impact knocked the fat man dizzy, he clenched the rope with one hand, and swung the other hand as hard as he could, subconsciously hoping to grab the side of the boat, or something else, and get out of the water as quickly as possible.
Finally, he grabbed a hand in a panic, and when he happily looked in the direction of the hand through the muddy lake water, he shivered suddenly.
Half a second later, a feeling 10 times colder than the lake water quickly penetrated his whole body.
He saw a bloated corpse quietly stuck to the bottom of the boat. The corpse was wearing a bright red costume, which almost merged with the blood-red bottom of the boat. The soaked limbs floated up and down with the current, as if they were smashed by a knife. aquatic plants.
What made the fat man collapse the most was that his right hand was grasping the corpse's seemingly boneless, extremely cold and slippery hand.
A gust of water flowed over, and the rotten and blue face of the corpse turned to him unsteadily. The next second, the fat man seemed to have discovered something suddenly. He couldn't hold it back any longer, and his eyes, which were almost closed, widened abruptly.
"Something happened!" Zuo Jing in the room couldn't bear it anymore and sat up.
Just now, all of them heard the third drum beating.
According to the rules, the four people who went out before should bring back the "bride" that was fished out before the third drum beat.
something must have happened
Throat rolled violently, Yuqi looked at the door, the fear in his eyes couldn't be hidden, "Why...why didn't anyone come back? What happened to them?"
