Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 824 The Danger of the Yellow River (4000)

"?!"

Obviously, the man named "Big Dog" who had spoken to Wu Liang just now fell into the water.

And judging from the movement just now, it seems that it is not an ordinary fall into the water, it is more like encountering some unclear accident...

"Go back and have a look."

For this straight-talking guy, Wu Liang still had a slight liking for him. It was fate that this guy fell into the water in front of him now, and if he could save his life with just a little effort, he certainly wouldn't choose to stand by and watch.

of course.

This man has lived by the Yellow River all year round, and his water skills must be much better than ordinary people. He also has more experience in facing the Yellow River. Although he fell into the water at the moment, he might be able to float up with his own ability after a while. .

However, this did not delay Wu Liang from leading others to help, and he didn't expect to be able to help much, and he didn't need someone to express his gratitude afterwards. This move was just to prevent the tragedy from happening to him as much as possible.

at the same time.

"Big Dog, what the hell are you calling, what's going on?"

The middle-aged woman who had just returned to the house also heard the movement outside, and while running out of the house to check the situation again, she asked in a rather rough voice.

However, the middle-aged man had just fallen into the water at this moment.

The surface of the water has not yet calmed down, and the head of the middle-aged man has not emerged from the water. How can he respond to her?

While speaking, the Huan army, who hadn't gone more than ten meters away, had turned back.

Seeing that the middle-aged woman didn't get a response from the big dog, she had no choice but to look at them suspiciously. Wu Liang pointed to the floating boat in the Yellow River and said to the middle-aged woman, "Big dog Just now when we sailed to collect the net, it seemed that the fishing net was entangled with a woman's corpse, and then suddenly let out a scream, and when we turned around, we saw that he had fallen into the water."

"Female corpse?"

Hearing these two words, the face of the middle-aged woman changed drastically, and she rushed to the river to look into the river, and seeing that the big dog had disappeared from the boat, she immediately sat down on the ground anxiously , kicking his legs and crying, "Mother, why does this short-lived enemy refuse to listen to people's persuasion? It's good now. Finally, he was dragged in by that water monkey. It's over, it's over, this short-lived It's easy for the enemy to leave, how can I live with the three children at home, I don't live anymore, I can't live anymore!"

"This……"

Seeing the reaction of the middle-aged woman, Wu Liang and the others in the Huan army couldn't react for a long time.

Normally, when someone falls into the water, shouldn't the first reaction be to call for help?

Why did the middle-aged woman skip all the steps, without any intention of rescuing her, and directly entered the final mourning session, as if she had already decided that the big dog would not come back?
The crying of the middle-aged woman finally alarmed the people who lived together in this small village.

"What's the matter, Lotus?"

Within two breaths, a dozen people came out to inquire about the situation, among them there were three middle-aged men and two women, and the rest were old people and children.

"The sky is falling! The big dog was dragged into the water by the water monkey when he went to collect the net!"

The middle-aged woman had already kicked off the straw sandals, and her feet and legs were also covered with dust, but at this moment she didn't care about it at all, and just patted her thighs and kept crying.

It turned out that there were other middle-aged men in this humble village.

Seeing this, Wu Liang was not in a hurry to teach the Huan army to rescue them. After all, these people lived by the Yellow River all year round, and their experience in dealing with the Yellow River was much better than that of the Huan army. It must be that these people are getting twice the result with half the effort, and it is not their turn to make a move.

What's more, the middle-aged woman had already mentioned the term "water monkey" twice.

The legend of "water monkey" has been circulating in China since ancient times, and in some places it is also called "water ghost". Different ponds and rivers can drag people into the bottom of the water, cover the victim's seven orifices with mud and cause them to die. They also like to suck human blood, nails and eyeballs.

In the process of exploring the Gongshu Tomb before, Wu Liang was also attacked by "water monkeys".

However, it was finally found out that the "water monkey" was just a "water monkey" disguised by a living person. She was actually a bride sacrificed to the river god by the local villagers.

As for the "water monkey" mentioned by the middle-aged woman, Wu Liang is not sure whether it is true or not, but in many folk rumors, the "water monkey" is indeed closely related to the drowned female corpse...

When thinking about it like this.

"Ugh--"

When the three middle-aged men heard the middle-aged woman's cries, they didn't even have the slightest intention of going to the rescue, instead they let out a long sigh with sympathy on their faces.

The two women also stepped forward to support the middle-aged woman, and one of the women gently patted her on the back to persuade her: "Lotus, since this has already happened, you should also mourn and change. Life has to go on, doesn't it? Even if you don't want to live, you still have to think about the three children you and Da Quan?"

"Yes, Lotus, you have to hold on for the sake of the three children."

The other woman was also consoling, pointing to the shortest man among the three middle-aged men and said, "It just so happens that Lu San'er has no wife. He has been single for so many years, and now you are orphans and widows again." Mother, if it’s really not possible, you two will live together in the future, so that you and the three children will have something to rely on, won’t you?”

"?!"

Seeing the reactions of these people, especially hearing the words of the two women, Wu Liang and Huo Renjun were both stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.

Who are these people? !

The big dog just fell into the water not long ago, don't say that the bones are not cold, even the breathing may not have stopped, and the wife and children have already been found here. Is this really a fucking thing?
But then again.

Anyone can see that the despair and crying of the middle-aged woman is definitely not faked, and the shortest man and the middle-aged woman seem to have nothing to do with each other before, and the behavior at the moment is indeed like that As the woman reassured, it was just that he had to live with a partner to make a living.

Wu Liang and others have seen this kind of thing a lot.

Not to mention such a miserable place, even in Yongqiu's farming army, many widows and refugees had to live together, and there was no choice at all.

and so……

"Everyone, interrupt!"

Seeing that Da Quan must not be counting on these people, Wu Liang finally couldn't help but interjected and asked, "What is the 'water monkey' you keep talking about? Could it be that Da Quan really can't be saved at all?" Is it?"

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

He is the kind of person who does what he can, and he will never put himself and the Huan army in danger for others without understanding the situation.

So even if you have an idea to help, you have to ask clearly before making a decision in the face of this situation.

But it has to be fast!

Wu Liang actually had some understanding of where the Yellow River was.

Because he has heard his father tell stories about the Yellow River countless times in later generations. His father served in the military in Lanzhou when he was young, and the barracks happened to be located on the bank of the Yellow River.

As the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat mountains depends on water to drink water, and the army is the same. At that time, crossing the Yellow River by kayak was a major recreational activity in the military camp after training.

At that time, there were comrades-in-arms in the army from all over the world, and naturally there were some recruits with better water skills from the south.

As the saying goes, those who drown are those who can swim.

During his father's military service, a comrade in the south who was extremely confident in water skills privately challenged him to swim across the Yellow River. However, the result was that the man plunged into the Yellow River and never came out again.

When the company learned of this, it immediately sent a large number of kayaks and soldiers to salvage and intercept it downstream. However, after several days of salvage, no body was found. Just when people were puzzled, a local fellow told them that the Yellow River The most frightening thing is not the sand in the water, but the unpredictable turbulent currents and whirlpools under the water surface. These turbulent currents and whirlpools can't be seen from the surface at all, and the danger can only be experienced after entering the water.

In the end, the fellow villager made a suggestion to the company. Since the salvage in the downstream was fruitless, you can try to salvage it in the place where it fell into the water.

It turned out to be true to the villagers. The company quickly salvaged the man's body from the place where he fell into the water. Inhaled into the mud and sand, no matter how good the water is, he couldn't break free.

This is the story Wu Liang's father told him countless times.

Wu Liang's ears had already heard the cocoon, but he still pretended to be hearing it for the first time every time. However, this story also made Wu Liang have a deep-rooted awe of the Yellow River, and he never dared to underestimate her.

"This young master doesn't know that the 'Water Monkey' is a water ghost transformed by a drowned young woman. Such a woman must have great resentment and resentment, so the water ghost she transformed into is even more powerful."

One of the men looked at Wu Liang, who was "many and powerful". Although he was a little reluctant, he said patiently, "Once dragged into the water by the 'water monkey', its hair will tightly entangle the person who fell into the water." hands and feet, no matter how good the water quality is, you can’t break free, it’s really impossible to save.”

"..."

Although Wu Liang didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, he couldn't quite accept this kind of statement in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but that he had also encountered real evil things, such as ja, such as giant gnats, such as anthrax...

Although these evil things are very powerful, they are not completely without solutions.

Compared with the evil creatures he encountered, this "water ghost transformed from a drowned young woman" was obviously of a lower rank, so it might not be impossible to rescue a person who had just fallen into the water from it.

Also.

In fact, Wu Liang is not very afraid of water and water-related evils. Don't forget that he also has a "water control technique".

The most important thing is that Wu Liang has not only entered his five viscera temple since he obtained the "Seven Techniques of Yin Talisman of the Classic", but recently practiced according to this book every day, and the qi of the five viscera has also been greatly improved.

Just as it is recorded in "The Seven Techniques of Yin Talisman": "Cultivate the five qi, and the heart can get one, and then you can master the Taoism."

During this process, Wu Liang discovered that not only had he subtly improved his spirit, soul, soul, spirit, and aspirations, but the "water control technique" was no longer as difficult to control as before.

Although his "Water Control Technique" has not yet reached the horror level of the "water cutoff" at the beginning, it is still enough to deal with most of the dangers encountered in the water.

Now the man still only uses "water monkey" to explain the matter, and he didn't mention the dangers that other human beings can't compete with. Wu Liang is naturally a little relieved.

Besides.

Wu Liang also wanted to take this opportunity to learn about the Yellow River and the so-called "water monkey" in advance, so that he could know himself and the enemy.

After all, Big Dog said before that in addition to waterfalls and torrents, there are often hundreds of floating corpses gathered in the place they are going to, and there are naturally some young women among those floating corpses. If there are "water monkeys", there must be only More.

"Several fellow villagers, can you lend me the two boats by the river?"

After pondering for a moment, Wu Liang turned back and said to several villagers.

"What do you want to borrow a boat for?"

One of them asked puzzledly.

"Rescue people, the big dog has not been in the water for a long time, maybe it can still be saved."

Wu Liang didn't ask for their opinions, so he just answered briefly, and then looked at the Huan army, "Dianwei, Yang Wanli, pick a few brothers with good water skills to board the boat, let's go over and try to salvage them."

……

After a moment.

The two small boats had already left the shore and headed quickly towards the place where the big dog fell into the water.

The boat that Big Dog was on before was only about ten meters away from the shore. Although it was in the current of the Yellow River, the boat was not washed away by the current. up the anchor.

The distance of more than ten meters only took two or three breaths.

Coming to the side of the small boat in this way, Wu Liang ordered the soldiers of the Tuan Army to plunge the bamboo poles of the punting boat into the water to try to salvage them, while checking the situation on the small boat that the big dog called before.

At this moment, a small part of the fishing nets had been brought back to the boat, and there were three carps in the bucket. The largest one weighed at least ten catties, and the smallest one weighed five or six catties. It was the big dog's catch, much better than those later fishermen who claimed to never fly in the air force, at least they definitely didn't buy it from the vegetable market.

Apart from these, there are no noteworthy details.

So Wu Liang followed the direction of the fishing net and continued to look into the water at the bow of the boat.

When he probed like this, Wu Liang saw a black mass leaning against the side of the boat together with the fishing net. The black mass swayed gently with the current, as if it had life...
