Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 74 The Weird Hair
Just as I was about to play chess with Duke Zhou, there was a sudden scream of terror from outside the camp.

The woman's scream was like a sharp thorn, piercing the tranquility of the night and piercing my ears hard.

I opened my eyes suddenly, jumped up like an electric shock, and rushed towards the lake like a whirlwind.

"What happened?" Everyone grabbed their weapons and rushed out, pushing aside the bushes in front of them.

"It's Han Jing! Han Jing said just now that she took a bath in the lake at night..." Gu Meidi said anxiously.

We soon came to the lake, and saw Han Jing struggling desperately in the water, her face was terrified, and her body was sinking into the water quickly, leaving only half of her head above the water: "Help... help... ..."

Gollum!
There is only a long string of bubbles left on the surface of the water, and there are ripples rippling in circles.

not good!There's something underwater!

"Tuobagu, you are a water mallard on the bank of the Yellow River, go down and have a look!" Professor Ye knew that I was the best water-savvy among these people.

At this moment, saving people is the most important thing. I didn't have time to think about it, so I jumped into the water and swam towards where Han Jing was.

A few beams of white light shot into the water, and I knew it was Professor Ye and the others illuminating me by the lake.

I soon saw Han Jing, who was writhing in pain in the water, struggling more and more weakly.

I looked down and saw that her ankles were entangled tightly by long water plants.I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. It turned out that I was entangled by aquatic plants. I thought there was some monster hidden in the water!The heartstrings that were tense just now relaxed, and I swam over quickly while scolding Han Jing for not paying attention to safety.

I gestured to Han Jing to signal her to calm down, then pulled out the shark blade from the bend of her leg, and stretched out my hand to cut the aquatic plants.As long as the aquatic plants are cut off, Han Jing will be able to surface safely.

However, things are not as simple as imagined.

What I never expected was that the sharp shark blade could not cut through the clump of aquatic plants. No matter how hard I tried, the aquatic plants remained motionless.I was a little anxious and increased the range of motion, but unfortunately it still didn't work.I wondered in my heart, even if it is a wire, I have to cut it. What is so weird about this clump of aquatic plants?
Thinking of this, I turned my attention to the aquatic plants, picked them up and took a closer look.The cold chill was like an electric current, and instantly penetrated my body. I only felt chills all over my body, and opened my mouth wide in horror. The icy lake water poured into my mouth all of a sudden, making me dizzy.

What wrapped around Han Jing's ankle was not any aquatic plants at all, but...hair!Yes, human hair!
At this moment, the oxygen in the chest cavity was almost used up, and I didn't have time to think about where these strands of hair came from. There was only one clear thought in my mind: "Rescue Han Jing! Must rescue Han Jing!"

This thought was like a thorn, piercing deeply into my mind, and I suddenly felt a lot more awake.

With all my strength, I frantically mowed that clump of aquatic plants, no, it was that clump of hair.

Finally, the clump of hair was finally cut off, and the strands of hair spread out in the water, like blooming flower buds.

Han Jing then had to take off, surfaced first, and swam to the shore.

At this moment, I was exhausted and my eyes were black, so I kicked my legs and was about to swim out of the water to catch my breath.At this moment, the blooming buds suddenly closed, and the severed strands of hair wrapped around my ankles like tarsal maggots.

I was terrified and struggled desperately a few times, but couldn't break free.

Once the weird strands of hair entangle the prey, they will entangle tightly, dragging the prey to the bottom of the water desperately.

What's worse, I am now that sad prey.

I sank to the bottom of the lake bit by bit, feeling as if my lungs were about to explode.More and more lake water poured into my mouth and ears, and I felt that the images around me gradually became blurred.I lost the strength to struggle, and my soul was floating, as if to be separated from my body.

Just when I was already feeling desperate, Gu Mei Di flew into the water.

I was anxious in my heart, and I couldn't curse out: "You stupid woman, the water is dangerous, what are you doing down here?"

Gu Meidi snatched the shark blade from my hand, cut off the strands of hair that were entangled with me, then grabbed me and quickly surfaced.

The fresh air penetrated into my lungs, and I breathed heavily until my chest cavity was filled with oxygen again. My whole body seemed to be reborn, and my whole body was full of strength.

"Tuobagu, let's go!" Gu Meidi pulled me and swam desperately towards the lake, the lake water was disturbed by us.

More and more strands of hair emerged from the bottom of the lake, stretching out like tentacles of monsters, like a big net, trying to trap us in the net.Fortunately, we were not too far away from the lake, and when those hairs just caught up with us, we were dragged out of the water by Wang Dongyu and Liu Hanhao.

Da da da!Da da da!
The taciturn Hao Mengkang suddenly picked up his assault rifle and fired several shots into the water. The gunshots shattered the tranquility of the night, drifted far away, and were sent to the distance with the night wind.

I was half kneeling on the ground, soaked and limp like a dried fish.

Professor Ye came over: "Tuoba Gu, Gu Meidi, are you all right?"

I shook my head and glanced at Gu Mei Di, Gu Mei Di also shook his head: "It's okay! It's okay!"

Professor Ye asked solemnly, "What did you encounter underwater just now? What was it that attacked you?"

I stretched out my hand to scratch my throat, spit out the accumulated water in my chest, and then I took a breath, and said palely: "Hair! There are hairs under the water!"

Professor Ye looked at us suspiciously: "Hair? Is there hair underwater? The thing that attacked you was hair?"

Wang Dongyu pouted at Liu Hanhao: "Go and touch his forehead to see if he has a fever? Why are you talking so nonsense?"

Liu Hanhao really came over to touch my forehead, and I knocked off the back of Liu Hanhao's hand: "You just have a fever! I didn't lie to you, at first I thought it was water plants, but later I found out that the water was full of hair, I don't know Where did those strands of hair come from, anyway, it is very scary, I almost died at the bottom of this lake!"

Seeing that I didn't look like I was making up a story, Professor Ye looked back at the deep lake: "Is there really hair at the bottom of the lake?"

Liu Hanhao returned to the camp, brought some cold light sticks, and after beating a few times, the cold light sticks lit up.He threw the cold light stick into the water, and the faintly glowing cold light stick dangled and sank into the water, illuminating a large area under the water.Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the water, only to see that the water was really covered with cobweb-like hairs, swaying gently with the water waves.When everyone saw these weird strands of hair, there was a look of horror on their faces.

Song Mingqiu said: "Hey! Look, what is that white ball?"

"Corpse! It's a corpse!" Han Jing was the first to scream.

Among those strands of hair, there was a dead body wrapped. The dead body had been swollen by the lake water, uh, like a big white radish, and I don't know how long it had been soaked.

Li Yingxin turned to look at Lao Luo: "Lao Luo, you are an expert in the desert, what the hell are these strands of hair?"

Lao Luo shook his head: "I don't know, I've never seen such weird strands of hair!"

Professor Ye's face was sullen, and he said for a while, "If I'm not mistaken, there are water babbles at the bottom of the lake!"

I asked curiously: "What is a water mango?"

Professor Ye pursed his lips: "That's the water ghost!"

Water ghost? !
I froze.

Professor Ye said with a serious face: "It is said that after some people drowned, their resentment persisted, and they turned into water ghosts to harm others. The water ghosts with low morality just confuse and confuse people, while the water ghosts with deep morality It is called Shuizizi, and it will actively attack creatures that fall into the water. Those hairs are probably Shuizizi's hair!"

Wang Dongyu asked strangely: "Then why weren't we attacked by Shuibazi when we took a bath in the lake?"

Professor Ye said: "It was not dark at that time, and the Shuizi didn't dare to come out, because it couldn't meet the sunlight. During the day, it was buried deep under the mud at the bottom of the lake. It didn't come out to harm people until it was dark!"

Wang Dongyu shook his head, his expression suddenly changed, he bent over and vomited.

Liu Hanhao patted him on the back, and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? Why did you vomit after everything was fine?"

Wang Dongyu wiped the stain from the corner of his mouth: "You are stupid! There are so many strands of hair in the water, which means that there are countless dead bodies in the lake! In other words, the fish in the lake grew up eating dead bodies, and we just I ate those fish again, do you think it will not be disgusting? Woowawa—”

Hearing what Wang Dongyu said, we all felt our stomachs churning, and we vomited after him.

Our side vomited into a piece, but Lao Luo said very calmly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, it has already been eaten in the stomach. If I spit it out, wouldn't it be a waste?"

Hearing what Lao Luo said, we vomited even more.

Since there are deadly water spouts at the bottom of the lake, we dare not stay by the lake too much.

Back at the camp, I put my clothes on the fire to bake, and Gu Meidi sat beside her with her snow-white arms in her arms, trembling a little.

"Is it cold?" I asked.

Gu Meidi shook his head, bit his lip and remained silent.

"Thank you just now!" I fiddled with the fire, and the fire reflected Gu Meidi's face. Although she was a little pale, I thought it was very beautiful.

"Hey!" Gu Meidi bumped me lightly with his elbow, and laughed softly: "Thank you, we are good partners, we have been through life and death together several times, can I ignore you if you are in danger?"

Knowing that there is danger at the bottom of the lake, Gu Meidi jumped into the lake to save me without hesitation. I feel warm in my heart. If there are no outsiders here, I will definitely hold her tightly in my arms.

"Hey, let you save me every time, I'm really ashamed!" I sighed, thinking that Gu Meidi rescued me every time, I was grateful and ashamed at the same time, the boss felt very sorry.

"That is, the favor you owe me may not be repaid in this lifetime!" Gu Meidi chuckled lightly.

"How about... I promise you with my body?" I asked tentatively.

"Fuck you!" Gu Meidi gave me a slap on the head.
