Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 9 Ghost Ship

Chapter 9 Ghost Ship
The afternoon passed quickly, and at dinner time, Gu Meidi drank another jar of old-fashioned flower carvings with his grandfather.The little girl Gu Meidi looks fair and clean, but she didn't expect that she can drink so much.After drinking the wine, Gu Meidi's small face showed two faint blushes, setting off her fair skin, making her look even more beautiful, full of a charming femininity.

There are no recreational activities in the country. Since I had an early dinner, my grandfather suggested that I take Gu Meidi to walk along the Yellow River to see the beautiful sunset on the Yellow River.Anyway, sitting is boring, so it is right to take a walk to digest food, so I readily agreed.

When I was about to leave the house, Gu Meidi naturally took my arm and put her face on my shoulder affectionately. We looked like a loving young couple.I sniffed her faint fragrance, and my heart was slightly disturbed.I never had any unreasonable thoughts about Gu Meidi before, but since she claimed to be my girlfriend, a strange feeling for her sprouted in my heart.

Gu Meidi suddenly raised his head and smiled charmingly at me, "Tuobagu, your heart beats so fast!"

I smiled awkwardly, "Where...how can..."

"By the way!" Gu Meidi suddenly asked me, "Have you dated girls before?"

I shook my head, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "A poor man like me, how could a girl fall in love with me?"

Gu Meidi said: "You can't say that. Not every girl likes tall, rich and handsome. In fact, there are still many good girls in this world. It's just that you haven't discovered it!"

I said "hmm", with a slight bitterness in my heart.

Why have I never been in love since I grew up?It's not because I have a psychological problem or a problem with my sexual orientation, it's because I dare not fall in love.Because in this impetuous and realistic world, I don't have the capital to fall in love.I don't have a house or a car, and I only have so little living expenses every month. How can I fall in love with a girl?

Gu Meidi seemed to see what was on my mind, she quietly held my arm tightly, "One day, you will also meet a girl who is desperate to be with you!"

I don't know if Gu Meidi's words are implying something to me, but my heart is warmly moved, so I can't help but hold her hand tightly.

Before we knew it, we had come to the edge of the Yellow River, and the muddy water slapped the bank, making a clattering sound.The scenery along the Yellow River is different from that of the seaside. There are no rushing waves like thousands of horses, and there are no beautiful golden sandy beaches.The sea is like a beautiful woman, which can make people feel amazing at a glance.But the Yellow River is different. Its beauty needs to be savored and experienced slowly with heart and emotion.

We walked hand in hand on the uneven cobblestones, like two swaying penguins, and laughed like silver bells along the way.Tired from walking, I sat down on a big rock by the river with the help of Gu Mei Di. The evening wind was like a mother's arm, brushing our faces warmly, and our hair was blowing in the wind.

I looked at Gu Meidi's flushed face and asked, "Have you seen the sunset?"

Gu Meidi said: "Of course I have seen the sunset! I have seen the sunset on the grassland, by the sea, on the top of a mountain, and on the tall buildings of the city, but I have never seen it by the Yellow River. Over the sunset!"

I nodded: "After you have seen the sunset over the Yellow River, you will definitely feel that the sunset over the Yellow River is the most beautiful sunset in the world!"

The sunset on the Yellow River is a great scenic spot on the Yellow River, and it is also the most beautiful picture in my memory.Whenever the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun splashes on the river surface, sparkling with golden light.The setting sun was intoxicated in the water of the ancient Yellow River, and then smudged, adding a bit of enchantment and mystery to the Yellow River.The darkness annihilated the vast sky little by little, and the setting sun sank into the water level little by little.At the place where the water and the sky meet, the sky is rendered in a crimson color.The setting sun is gradually torn apart, and with a tragic heart, it turns into bits of gold and sinks into the vast Yellow River.On the other side of the river, a crescent moon cuts through the sea of ​​clouds, and the world presents a hazy color of alternating yin and yang.

Gu Meidi stood up excitedly, opened his arms and shouted loudly: "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

There were a few small fishing boats moored by the river, and Gu Meidi ran over excitedly and begged me to take her for a ride on the river to experience the tragic sunset on the Yellow River.

Unable to withstand her repeated begging, I took her, jumped into the fishing boat, untied the rope, and sailed away from the river with the oar.

Almost everyone who grew up on the banks of the Yellow River is a master of rowing, and I am no exception.This kind of small fishing boat can be driven by one person, which is very convenient.The ancient Yellow River sang 5000-year-old songs, small fishing boats swayed gently on the water, and bits of gold shone in the water. We seemed to have entered a fairy tale fairyland, like a dream.

Facing such beautiful scenery on such a beautiful day, Gu Meidi couldn't help singing: "Do you know how many bays there are in the Yellow River? How many boats are there on the bays? How many boats are on the boats? Pole? Dozens of those boatmen come to move the boat? I know that there are 99 bays in the Yellow River, 99 boats on 99 bays, 99 boats, 99 poles, 99 boatmen Yo, come and move the boat..."

The singing voice of Gu Meidi is clear and loud, melodious and melodious, as if it is going to rush into the sky.

I stared at Gu Meidi's beautiful back with infatuation, and my heart flew into the sky with her singing.

Suddenly, Gu Meidi's singing stopped abruptly. She turned her head and shouted anxiously to me: "Tuobagu, your uncle, are you asleep? Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder! It's about to hit the ship ! Going to hit the boat!"

About to crash? !
The scream of Gu Mei Di woke me up suddenly, and I opened my eyes wide and looked into the distance.I saw an iron ferry boat appearing on our left side at some point, less than 20 meters away from our small fishing boat. If we were hit by this iron ferry boat, Gu Meidi and I would definitely sink into the Yellow River today. up.

The iron ferry rushed over aggressively as if it hadn't seen us, with the "Chaoyang" flag on the bow fluttering in the wind.

I swayed the scull quickly, and with all my strength, the small fishing boat drew an "S" shape on the water surface, and finally escaped before the iron ferry rushed up.

I wiped off my cold sweat, and couldn't help turning around and yelling at the iron ferry, "Bastard! Don't you have eyes?" Then, after taking a breath, I turned around and asked Gu Meidi, "Are you okay?"

Gu Meidi's expression was a bit unnatural, she fixed her eyes on the iron ferry that was going away, and said something that made me shudder, "There seems to be no one on that ferry!"

A gust of river wind blew in my face, and I shivered uncontrollably.No one on the iron ferry?So...then how can it drive on the river?ah!I suddenly thought of a problem, this kind of iron ferry usually makes a roaring motor sound, but when the ferry passed by just now, it seemed to be drifting quietly, without any sound.

I licked my dry lips, cold sweat running down my spine.

Gu Meidi crossed his arms, with the same expression of fear on his face, "We... met... a ghost?"

"Cough!" I said pretending to be calm, "You are still an intellectual doing archaeological work. We are all atheists. How can there be ghosts in this world? In my opinion, the cable of that ferry boat may have been broken, and it was caught by the river. Rush down from upstream..."

Speaking of this, I felt something was wrong, because I suddenly remembered that the ferry just now was going upstream and coming up from the downstream direction.Obviously, my explanation is not logical at all.What made me even more terrified was that when I looked up at the ferry boat, the river surface was completely empty, and there was no shadow of the ferry boat.The ferryboat seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the river and disappeared without a trace.

I was stunned, and the sky gradually became dark, casting a black shadow on my heart.

An unmanned iron ferry boat drifts on the Yellow River like a ghost. What a strange picture it is!

Gu Meidi also lost the excitement she had just now. She put her arms around her shoulders and said, "Tuobagu, I think...we...we should...let's go home..."

I nodded, swallowed hard, and steered towards the shore with the oar.

When we reached the river bank, it was completely dark. We looked back at the dark river, and felt a cold chill in our hearts.

When we got home, Grandpa saw that our expressions were not right, so he quietly pulled me aside, "Did you quarrel?"

I shook my head, "No!"

Grandpa said: "Don't fool me, Grandpa can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with you two. You are fine when you go out, why do you look so ugly when you come back? Let me tell you, it is said on TV that women need to be coaxed." ..."

Gu Meidi came over, waved his hands and said, "Grandpa, you misunderstood, we really didn't quarrel!"

Grandpa said "Oh", "Could you have caught a cold by the river? You look so bad. Go back to the house and take a hot bath! Now that every house has installed solar energy, taking a bath is very convenient!"

Gu Meidi looked at Grandpa, then at me, with a hesitant expression.

Grandpa seemed to have discovered something, he stared at us for a while, "Did something happen to you?"

I took a breath, and said in a deep voice, "Well, we did encounter a... a strange thing on the Yellow River just now..."

Grandpa lit a cigarette and sat down, "Are you out of the boat?"

I nodded.

Grandpa smacked his lips, took a puff of tobacco and said, "Let me tell you something weird."

Gu Meidi said: "Let me tell you! Just now we encountered an iron ferry boat on the Yellow River. The ferry boat appeared on the river surface like a ghost, and almost knocked over our small fishing boat. When the ferry boat As we passed in front of us, we found... we found that there was no... no one on the ferry..."

Grandpa breathed out the smoke, and the lingering smoke covered his face, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

After a while, Grandpa knocked on the pipe and said quietly: "You may have encountered a ghost ship!"

Ghost ship? !
Gu Meidi and I were startled at the same time, a chill crawled up our backs like a poisonous snake, making us shiver slightly.

Grandpa said: "The Chaoyang ferry sank as early as two years ago. At that time, the ferry was seriously overloaded. When it was in the middle of the river, the boat capsized and many people died!"

After a pause, Grandpa continued, "Fortunately, you didn't get on that boat. If you boarded the ghost ship, the ghost ship would take you to hell, and you would never come back!"

In fact, for thousands of years, there have been rumors about ghost ships on the ancient Yellow River Road.Many fishermen claim to have seen ghost ships. They have not only seen ships that have sunk in accidents driving on the river, they have even seen ancient official ships, and they have seen beautiful dancers dancing on the boats.As for where the ghost ship came from, no one can explain it, even the scientific community has no conclusion.The Yellow River ghost ship incident is exactly the same as the famous ghost ship incident in the world. It is widely believed in the scientific community that the appearance of the ghost ship may be related to the cracks in time and space or the reversal of time.

Gu Meidi and I are not timid people, but what we encountered today really scared us.There are several bedrooms on the second floor of the new house, and Gu Meidi and I sleep in one each.After taking a hot bath, the two went to bed early.

Before going to bed, I used my mobile phone to check the news about the sinking of the Chaoyang.As soon as I opened the Baidu website, a lot of news about the sinking of the Chaoyang ship immediately popped up.It seems that Grandpa did not scare us. The Chaoyang ferry sank two years ago. Many people died at that time, which caused a great impact in Henan. Many media reported the sinking incident one after another.There are also photos of the Chaoyang ferry boat on the news website. Looking at the ferry boat in the photo, I feel chills in my bones. The ferry boat is exactly the same as the ghost boat we saw in the evening. banner.

Turn off the phone, close my eyes, there are so many things flying in my mind: weird turtle coffins, mysterious eyeball tattoos, terrifying ghost boats on the Yellow River, the delicate and beautiful face of the ancient Meidi...

I tossed and turned on the bed, not falling asleep all the time.In the dimness, I felt someone walked into my bedroom, and I sat up suddenly, "Who?"

"It's me!" The voice of Gu Meidi rang in my ears.

I turned on the desk lamp, and the scene in front of me made my blood boil: Gu Meidi was wearing a translucent white nightgown, her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, the deep gully in the middle of her chest was faintly visible, and her slender snow-white thighs naked.

I was a little dazed, staring blankly at Gu Meidi, my heart beating wildly, "You... what are you doing?"

At that time, I was thinking, if Gu Meidi suddenly threw me on the bed, should I resist or obey?Or feign defiance first, and then happily obey?

But unfortunately, the picture in my fantasy did not appear. Gu Meidi sat down on the sofa in my bedroom, "I...I can't sleep..."

I yawned, "What? Are you still afraid?"

Gu Meidi pursed her lips, as if what I said was right on her mind, but she refused to admit it, "Who is it? Who is afraid? I am not a coward!"

I smiled speechlessly, what a strong woman!

"Come and sleep in my bed." I said.

I was just kind-hearted at first, but Gu Meidi looked at me warily, "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, you'd better get rid of those evil thoughts!"

I yelled that I was wronged, and raised my right hand to swear, "The conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't have any evil thoughts! I mean, you come to sleep on my bed, and I will sleep on the sofa!"

Gu Mei Di looked at me, "Really?"

I nodded, "Really!"

"Then why don't you get out of bed!" Gu Meidi happily ran over and drove me out of bed without hesitation.

Gu Meidi hid under the blanket, fluttering her big eyes, "Hey! I still can't sleep, why don't you tell me a story?"

I rolled my eyes, "Sister, I didn't sleep last night, and today I bumped all day, I don't have the energy to fight with you, I'm going to sleep!" I said, turning over, leaving my back With the butt facing the Gumei flute.

"You are so boring!" Gu Meidi snapped off the lamp.

Darkness engulfed the bedroom again, and the night in the countryside was quiet, and everything was silent, and no sound could be heard.

Drowsiness hit my head, I closed my eyes drowsily, and fell asleep.Just when I was about to fall asleep, I vaguely heard a strange sound - "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At first I thought it was Gu Mei Di grinding his teeth, but later the sound became clearer and less like teeth grinding.I was just about to open my mouth to ask what Gu Meidi was doing in the middle of the night, but Gu Meidi took the lead and said, "Tuobagu, what are you doing, boy? You're still beating the drums in your dreams, it's so loud, it's so ugly Already!"

"Ah? I thought it was you who made the sound!" I felt very wronged.

"Nervous! Isn't it you?" Gu Meidi asked.

I said, "It's really not me! Is it really not you?"

Gu Meidi said: "Of course it's not me, I'm almost falling asleep!"

"Hush!" I turned on the light, made a silent gesture, and lay down on the edge of the window sill to listen intently.

After a while, I turned back to Gu Meidi and said, "It sounds like it's coming from the old house!"
