The years when I was Captain Jin

246 Ghost Ship

In the setting sun, a group of rural old men and women dressed in white mourning clothes were singing dirty dramas in the mountains, which was enough to infiltrate people.

Now there was another strange sound of wind chimes, and I immediately got goosebumps all over my body, and quickly hid in the coffin.

The sound of the wind chime was like a death talisman for the underworld, making the noisy villagers shut up one by one, and the entire stage was completely silent in a blink of an eye.I could even hear the heavy breathing of the villagers out of fear.

I curiously looked in the direction of the wind chimes, and I don't know when, a strange ghost ship floated on the misty stream!The reason why I call it a ghost ship is because I have never seen such a weird ship in my life. The ship is boxy and looks like a coffin, but the color is not the red that is commonly used in rural coffins, but pure white. It's like it was folded out of white paper.

But how can such a big boat be folded out of white paper?After all, this ghost ship is as big as a small house.

Moreover, I have carefully looked at the creek before. The water in this creek is very shallow, and there are no fish, let alone sailing.But the ghost ship in front of him is floating steadily on the water, which is incredible.

This is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that on both sides of the ghost ship, there seem to be two rows of boys and girls in gorgeous silk clothes standing.

They couldn't see their faces in the mist at all, they could only vaguely see each person holding a green lantern in his hand, and from time to time they let out a series of piercing and strange laughs.

The laughter didn't sound like a child at all, but like a beast. I was terrified to hear it, so I asked Uncle Zhang next to me: "Uncle Zhang, do you know who they are?"

"Hush!" Uncle Zhang trembled with fright, quickly covered my mouth, and said in a low voice, "Young man, don't talk."

Afterwards, Uncle Zhang quickly got down on the ground, not even daring to look at the ghost ship, but kept kowtowing.

I saw that the whole village was kowtowing in fear, and no one responded to me, so I had no choice but to continue to observe the ghost ship in front of me.

At this moment, the wind chimes that had disappeared before rang again on the ghost ship.

The sound of this wind chime is a little different from the previous ones, the bell is beeping and shaking very hard, it sounds like a downpour.Every time there was a sound, the coffin under me would tremble. In this dark mountain, suddenly there was such a big movement, it was almost like an explosion.

Even though I blocked my ears with my fingers, the sound of wind chimes still passed through layers of obstacles and rang through my brain.

Hearing this made me feel like I had a splitting headache, wishing I could find an ax to cut open my own head!

Just as I was struggling all over the floor, I found Wang Yuanchao and Fatty crawling out of the coffin.

I was overjoyed and asked them how they were doing?
Wang Yuanchao quickly covered my mouth, pointed to the ghost ship and said, "Ding Dong, that ship is weird, let's see it first."

I knew that Wang Yuanchao might have discovered something, so I didn't say much, and continued to hide in the coffin, occasionally sticking out my head to take a sneak peek.

As the ghost ship approached slowly, the ear-piercing sound of wind chimes came continuously, like the tide of the Yellow River, wave after wave, harassing our ears.

The ringtone was not pleasant at all, and there was no rhythm at all, it just got louder and shriller.

It ended up being jingle bells, jingle bells.

Fatty Wang Yuanchao and I couldn't help plugging our ears, panting heavily.

On the contrary, the surrounding villagers listened very comfortably, and even danced intoxicated.

My ears seemed to be drilled with countless steel needles, so I grabbed Uncle Zhang next to me and asked, "Don't you feel your ears hurt?"

Old Zhangtou shook his head with a look of enjoyment: "It doesn't hurt, it sounds very nice."

Even the lazy man praised again and again: "That's right, this kind of beautiful wind chimes can only be swayed by the old man Stove Lord. It's much better than the songs of Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung."

Although I don't understand music, I also know that copper bells are one of the eight major musical instruments in ancient China. Since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been professional musicians playing copper bells. It looks like a small bell, but actually contains many Lots and lots of notes and melodies.

But the sound of the wind chime in front of me was nothing but pleasant.

I had no choice but to look helplessly at Fatty and Wang Yuanchao.

"Don't look at me, the fat man can't tell how beautiful the ringtone is anyway, it's so fucking noisy." The fat man shook his head repeatedly.

At this time, Wang Yuanchao suddenly said: "Ding Dong, do you think there is a sound in the ringtone that we can't hear?"

Can't hear the sound?

What sounds can't be heard?
Suddenly, my whole body was shocked, and then my eyes were fixed on the ghost ship in front of me.

That's right, why didn't I think of it!

I have also read several scientific magazines and know that some sounds in nature cannot be heard by human ears.Just like the infrasound waves emitted by the communication between elephants and the ultrasonic waves emitted by the communication between bats, if we let us listen, we can only hear the stabbing sound, but not the specific tone.

But if a person's ears are damaged and their hearing is reduced, they can hear some sounds that normal people cannot hear.

This is why what comes to our ears is loud bells, but what comes to the ears of villagers is beautiful music.

It turns out that there is a musical instrument hidden on that ghost ship that we have never seen before!
I tried my best to raise my head, trying to see what was playing on the boat, but apart from rows of green lanterns and a few virgins, I couldn't see clearly what was behind the misty water vapor. there's something...

Seeing that I was in a daze all the time, the fat man kicked my ass hard: "What the hell is the musical instrument playing, the top priority is, we have to get out of here before our ears are cut off."

While speaking, the fat man frantically took out a small knife from his shoe, cut the ropes on his hands and feet, and then untied the ropes on Wang Yuanchao's body when the other villagers didn't notice.

The fat man cautiously glanced around the stage, seeing that everyone was kneeling towards the ghost ship, not paying attention to our side, and immediately shouted happily: "Ding Dong, prepare to withdraw."

I raised my arm and motioned for the fat man to untie the rope for me too.

Wang Yuanchao, who was at the side, seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly changed his face and said, "Look at those villagers!"

Following Wang Yuanchao's reminder, I realized that all the villagers who were kneeling on the ground just stood up, dancing and shaking their heads, humming the melody of the bell, and their movements were stiff, like zombies who had been dead for a long time .

In an instant, the sweat pores all over my body opened, and I suddenly understood why the villagers listened with gusto to the sounds that the three of us couldn't hear.

They are not human at all!
