Mysterious world, I have special understanding

Chapter 87: The Story Comes True?

Hearing that Ji Que wanted to hear the story, the muscular six-toed old man flicked his cigarette pipe and told Ji Que a strange thing that happened on the Wu Gorge of the Yangtze River while puffing the clouds.

Lu Laoliu's hometown is a small fishing village by the Yangtze River. Since he was a child, he has had a good relationship with Wusan, who is in the same village.

Due to the heavy taxation at that time, a group of young people in the fishing village found it difficult to make a living by just fishing, so they went to the Yangtze River wharf to work as a buddy.

Due to his talent for sailing and the characteristics of six toes, Lu Laoliu quickly gained a firm foothold in a certain boating company. As for coming to Tianren City later, with his own boat, that's a story later.

At that time, it was very hard to run the waterway in the Yangtze River. He was fine, and he ran a relatively gentle river, while his brother Wusan was not so lucky, and often ran the most dangerous section of the Wuxia waterway.

The Wu Gorge waterway is rugged and contains many undercurrents and reefs. Even the old helmsman who often runs the boat has to work hard to get there.

According to Lu Laoliu, the cliffs on both sides of the place are full of towering ancient trees, overlapping and overlapping. When the river is narrow, the sunlight cannot penetrate too much, and the day is like night.

On this day, the waterway that Wu San ran again was the most dangerous and laborious way, but it paid a lot more wages.

There is no way, the Wusan family is the poorest, and the parents are not in good health, so they really need money more.

It was just dusk, the sky was dark, and the sound of apes on both sides of the strait echoed on both sides, like a ghost crying.

Wu San was still carrying the goods on the deck, but suddenly he heard a pop and something fell beside him.

The ancient trees on both sides of the waterway were towering to the sky, and the sunlight penetrated very little. Wu San squinted to see it, but he couldn't see it clearly, only thought it was a piece of clothing.

He felt a fluffy feeling in his heart, and that feeling of being unable to see clearly made him very uncomfortable.

At this time, a guy on the boat walked by, Wu San didn't have time to remind him that the other party had stepped on it.

As a result, only a squeak was heard, and the guy's feet slipped and fell to the deck with a slap.

He was about to help the other party, but a terrified roar suddenly sounded from the boat.

"Ghost! Ghost!"

The guy fell to the ground, his hands and feet fluttered, and he shouted in horror.

After the captain of the boat heard the movement, he rushed over with someone.

At this time, the dim sunset rays just re-projected on the deck through the shade of the trees.

At this moment, Wu San, who was already in a state of fright, fell to the ground and rolled back.

That's a human skin!
The entire head has no bones or flesh to support it, but the facial features are still there, especially the pair of yellowed eyes, which seem to be staring at you coldly.

That's how the guy was frightened just now.

Rao, the well-informed boss of the ship, was startled, and the helper next to him couldn't help but tremble: "Boss, what is this?"

The boss of the boat raised Wu San next to him and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

Wu San pointed to the top of his head, and said in panic, "I don't know either. It feels like it fell from above?"

This section of the waterway is full of big trees growing between the cliffs, and it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate, just like another world.

"Pi Niang thief, someone who killed someone and threw their corpses from above," said the ship's boss.

The guy next to him said tremblingly, "However, there is no corpse, and there is no corpse with only one skin."

Yes, this human skin was lying there, and in the dim light of the bow lantern, it looked particularly intact, and it was very strange that there were no bloodstains or wounds.

The boss of the boat slapped the guy on the head and roared, "Don't talk to me, I don't know the rules on the boat? Throw it off the boat and continue to work!"

Although the boss of the ship was frightened, he was an old man after all. He knew that this kind of thing would cause panic, so he chose a more rude way.

The human skin was thrown down by a guy with a bamboo pole, and at the moment when the thing fell off the boat, Wu San almost urinated.

At that moment, the human skin seemed to be smiling.

A group of people on the boat were terrified enough.

But soon, the most sinister waterway passed, the water flow calmed down, and everyone's tense hearts gradually calmed down.

Because they knew that they could arrive at the dock in just two hours, and a few frightened guys even made an appointment to go to the small mountain town to find a woman to suppress the fright.

Wu San and the guy who stepped on the skin before were the most frightened.

The guy's name was "Xiao Wu", and he was so frightened that he couldn't work, and was arranged to rest in the cabin.

Wu San's courage is usually not small, but today's situation was really strange, and he was very frightened.

The cold feeling brought by that human skin made his hair stand on end even when he recalled it.

Especially the last smile of the human skin.

He knew that the few companions on the boat must have seen that smile, but they didn't say anything.

Or rather, dare not say.

It didn't take long for the exhausted Wu San to fall asleep in the cabin.

In a blur, he heard the shouting of the ship's mate, as if to ask him to play with the girls.

Wu San felt that this kind of thing had to be social, so he struggled to open his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, the woman's human skin fell into his sight.

The human skin was attached to the wooden board above his head, looking at him coldly, and then suddenly showing the same smile as before.

I don't know who lit the oil lamp next to him, and the smile was yellow.
For a time, feces, urine, and snot poured out of Wu San's body. He was so frightened that he wanted to scream, but his throat couldn't make any sound.

At this time, only heard the sound of the door banging.

"The third child, Xiao Wu, don't sleep, it's almost there."

Wu Sanzhi saw that the man's skin flashed, and he took something out of the gap in the cabin.

At this moment, there was a terrible cry in the cabin.

Wu San's bed next door, that is, Xiao Wu's bed, lay a skinless corpse.

Only then did Wu San know that the thing that the woman took away just now was Xiao Wu's skin.
Xiao Wu's skin was ripped off!
Later, after Wu San and others went ashore, they did not dare to board the ship for nearly a month.

After everyone inquired, they learned from the old man in the small mountain city that the woman's skin probably belonged to a woman called "Rouge".

Rouge is a very beautiful girl who lives in the upper reaches of Wu Gorge. She has had a sweetheart very early. Once, she took a boat to this small mountain town to see her sweetheart, but she was killed by bandits who robbed the boat.

It is said that when she was thrown off the boat, her body was scratched by the tip of a protruding bamboo pole, and her skin was torn off when she fell into the river.

And the cargo ship hijacked by the group of thieves arrived at the pier quietly, but to the surprise of the people on the pier, no one came down.

Someone from the back boarded the boat to inquire, only to find that there was only a young woman hiding at the bottom of the boat, and the rest were all skinless corpses.

At that time, there was a lot of trouble, but in a small place, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the yamen was used to being powerful and powerful, and they had no strength.

After that, the boatman running on that section of the river would hear women's singing from time to time. If you listen carefully, you will find that a woman is telling that she is lonely and wants to find someone to accompany her.

The rumor of the strange human skin also started at that time, but few people actually met and believed. I didn't expect Wu San to have "good" luck that time.

"Pity our brother, he has never been in the water again, and has never been out of his hometown's small fishing village. But when we went back last time, we found that he had a virtuous wife and a beautiful daughter, and his life was not bad. , I am envious of the old man."

Saying that, Lu Lao Liu took a sharp puff of cigarette, and it was so fierce.

At this time, the setting sun had completely sunk, and the river was misty, and the boat soon became alone.

The weather was bad today, and the lights lit on the boat soon became the only light source here.

The steep mountains on both sides looked like a ferocious beast that was about to engulf the entire ship.

For a while, after listening to the story, Ji Que only felt that he was standing in the dark waterway of Wu Gorge.

Hearing such a story in such an environment, Ji Que couldn't help but sigh: "Master Liu, whether it's true or not, it's quite exciting to hear."

At this time, Lu Laoliu couldn't help laughing and said: "That's not true, son, if it wasn't for seeing how handsome you are, I wouldn't make up stories for you, old man. My boss, I am a native-born Tianren. People from the city, where have you been to Wushan Wuxia?"

Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi blinked at the same time.

Damn, this old man told a story so eloquently, daring it is fake.

I really believe his evil!
Ji Que couldn't help sighing: "Old man, it's a pity that you don't tell stories."

Lu Laoliu laughed and said: "There is really a teahouse to invite me, but I don't want the old man. I said, how can there be so many ghosts and ghosts in this world, and they all look like old men. Made by such people."

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard a pop, as if something like clothes fell on the stern of the boat.

Ji Que glanced at him and asked, "What?"

Lu Lao Liu smiled and said, "What could it be? It can't be human skin, right?"

It's just that he smiled, and the expression on his face stiffened a lot.

Because at this time, there was a faint female voice floating in the air.

This sound is not like singing, it is a bit like opera, as if the Hua Dan on the stage is singing with her throat hanging.

The voice was suddenly far and near, with a sadness, echoing in the mountains and forests on both sides of the river.

Lu Laoliu said with a bitter face: "This big night, in the mountains and forests, what kind of crazy woman sings a show, what should I do if I scare people?"

The song was getting farther and farther away, but at this time, there was a small sound of chi chi coming from the stern, as if a piece of clothes soaked in water was dragging on the wooden board.

Or, wet human skin?
At this time, Lu Laoliu looked like he was about to cry, his six toes were curled up together, and he said with a cry, "No way, so unlucky?"

He just dared to make up a ghost story to scare Ji Que, that's because he had always been running smoothly, and nothing had happened.

And tonight.
Ji Que stood there with a calm expression.

Is it not normal to encounter ghosts when you are unlucky to sit on a boat and listen to a story?
