Chapter 172 The Water Ghost

After that, I changed the air twice, and a wooden hut appeared in front of the bottom of the water. From the outside, it seemed to be a waterwheel house.

And behind the waterwheel house, a little further away, if you look carefully, there is a large area of ​​dark objects, layered on top of each other, scattered alternately, and carefully identified by the dim skylight at the bottom of the water, it turns out to be a pile of dilapidated houses one after another.

Most of those houses have collapsed, with broken walls and ruins, and a few intact ones are also full of dust and silt.

But even if it is so dilapidated, it can be recognized that this is the remains of a village.

The child stood at the door of the waterwheel house, waved lightly at them, and then walked straight into the dark room.

Now that I've come here, I naturally won't look back, so without hesitation, Hua Shu dragged Jiang Li to swim over, and entered through the door of the waterwheel house.Jiang Li was surprised when her foot hit the ground.Because the inside of the hut is full of air, there is no water at all, and the ground is dry, forming two completely different worlds from the outside.

Jiang Li tried to breathe, and found that she didn't feel stuffy at all, and the air was fine.

The room was dimly lit, but he could barely see.The hut is not big, about ten square meters. The little baby who came in first stood in front of a small bed against the wall, raised her head, and seemed to be looking at them.

Jiang Li and Hua Shu stood in front of the door, water dripping from their bodies drop by drop.After looking at each other for a while, Jiang Li walked over and sat down by the bed. The child turned around with him and looked up at him.

Jiang Li raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at him, "You asked us to come over and lead us, are you trying to show us where the sand table is?"

Xiaowa nodded and pointed to the flooded village outside.

Jiang Li guessed: "The sand table is in the village?"

The kid nods.

Jiang Li asked: "Can you take us there to get it?"

Xiaowa shook her head.

Seeing the child's refusal, Huashu said: "I'll swim over to have a look, you stay here, I'll be back soon."

Jiang Li nodded, "I need to take a breath and come here."

Huashu agrees.Then he turned around and stepped out, swimming towards the village soaked in the water.

Jiang Li stood at the door, watching the flower tree swim that way nimbly, Xiaowa stood at his feet, tugged at the hem of his clothes, Jiang Li lowered her head, saw Xiaowa shook her head at herself, pointed outside, He waved his hand again.

Jiang Li didn't understand what he wanted to express, so she squatted down and touched his wet head, chatting with him: "Have you reunited with your father?"

Xiaowa pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded vigorously.He pointed back to the direction of the village in the water.Jiang Li understood: "Is he in the village now?"

Xiaowa nodded again, pointed in the direction of the village, and made an expression of biting something with her mouth open, looking a little ferocious.

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then his face turned cold, and he hurried to look in the direction of the flower tree. He saw the flower tree suddenly turned his head and swam towards this side. Behind the flower tree, among the wreckage of the village, there were black lines Like a swimming snake emerging from water, the shadows emerged from the ground and between the broken walls of the house, and then swarmed towards the back of the flower tree, and launched a chase.

Jiang Li's heart tightened in an instant, and he screamed: "Huashu, hurry up." Then he stretched out one hand from the door into the water as hard as he could, while the other hand firmly stuck to the door frame, ready to go in Get ready.

The flower tree was swimming fast, and the black shadow behind him was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't let it go. Jiang Li's heart was already in his throat. Grabbing Huashu's hand and pulling him in, the two of them threw themselves together and fell to the ground hugging each other.

Huashu turned over at the last second and put it under Jiang Li.

With a "bang", there was a loud noise.

Jiang Li hurriedly got up and looked at the flower tree. The flower tree waved her hand, and even laughed, sighing and covering her chest, "It's so dangerous."

Seeing that he was fine, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back at the water ghosts squeezing outside the door. Although they were all black, they opened their big mouths with sharp teeth.

And standing closer, it can be seen that they are not without eyes, but the whites of their eyes are gray, and the eyes are black and dull. If it is not pasted on the water wall at the door, Jiang Li can see it unscrupulously, and it may not be so. clear.

Now, a wall of water separates the two worlds. The water ghosts who are crowded at the door and cannot enter are like predators staring at their prey, squeezed and lingering at the door.

The little baby who brought the two of them was already standing on the bed. At this moment, she waved her hand at Jiangli, her small face was hidden in the dim shadow, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

Jiang Li pulled Huashu up and sighed at Xiaowa: "If we hadn't helped you and got along with you, I would have wondered if you deliberately led us into a trap. Let us be food."

After Xiaowa heard it, she immediately waved her hands, then tilted her head, put her hands together, and made a sleeping movement.Then he pointed to the bed.

Jiang Li asked: "Are you going to sleep?"

The child waved his hand and pointed to Huashu and Jiang Li.

Jiang Li said, "You want us to sleep?"

The child nodded and pointed to the bed under his feet.

Jiang Li glanced at the crowded water ghosts at the door, and then at the bed board that was partly wet by the child. Seeing the situation, she couldn't get out for a while, Jiang Li looked away: "Okay, let's sleep then sleep."

Ask Huashu: "What do you think?"

Huashu nodded: "Yes."

Then he took off his shirt and wrung out a few handfuls of water, wrung the clothes dry as much as possible, and then wiped off the water stains on his body with this jacket, Jiang Li looked at his dense abdominal muscles, tight waist, smooth mermaid line, envious I took a few glances.

After the flower tree was wiped, she came over to lift Jiang Li's clothes, Jiang Li quickly grabbed her, there were so many eyes watching at the door, she couldn't afford to lose that person.

But Huashu was so strong that he still picked him up. After being pressed and wiped by Huashu a few times, Jiang Li was also relieved. He bent down and took off his wet pants, but Huashu froze and immediately He looked up at the sky, then turned his head and walked to the corner of the room by himself, as if facing the wall, and raised his hand to pick the wood grain on the wall.

Jiang Li gave him a strange look, and while twisting the water on his trousers vigorously, he said to him, "Take it off and twist it too."

The flower tree trunk responded, bent over with its back to Jiang Li, took it off quickly, twisted up the pants, and put them on as quickly as possible.The whole set of actions takes less than 30 seconds.

He was so amazed by Jiang Li's look that he almost forgot about this hellish occasion.

When Jiang Li put on his pants, the child was already lying on the bed, patting the bed board with his little hands, looking excited, urging them to go to bed.

In order to prevent unexpected accidents, both of them put on the clothes that had been wrung out of water again. Jiang Li went to bed first, followed by Huashu. Because the bed was small, Huashu hugged Jiang Li in his arms, although the clothes were wet and cold. It was cold and uncomfortable, but Huashu's embrace was very warm, after only holding it for a while, the discomfort caused by the clothes was relieved a lot, and was completely replaced by warmth.

As soon as his body warmed up, Jiang Li's mind also came alive, and he said to Huashu: "I didn't expect Dazhuang Village to be under the water, it has already been flooded."

Huashu said: "Yes, it's quite unexpected. I thought the original site was in Xiaozhuang Village, but I didn't expect it to be in the lake. It seems that the lake was flooded by the high tide."

Jiang Li said: "Water ghosts follow the water to take revenge and come out at night. They surround us now, but at night they will surface and go to the shore to try to take revenge. That's why they will leave at night and stop besieging us."

Huashu figured it out: "So we have to stay here until night, that's why Xiaowa let us sleep,"

Jiang Li clapped the board and said: "The sand table is in the village. We will wait for the water ghosts to leave at night to get it. Then we will come back to this hut after we get it. We will wait until tomorrow morning, when the water ghosts have rested, and we will go quietly without disturbing them. Leave, and that's it."

Huashu said: "It's wonderful."

After understanding this point, Jiang Li fell asleep with peace of mind.

Waking up again, Jiang Li opened her eyes and found that Xiaowa was standing by the bed, patting them with her short hands.Huashu has also woken up, and sits up with Jiang Li in his arms.

The clothes on her body were already dry, and Jiang Li didn't feel cold. Xiaowa walked to the door and waved to them, then walked out.

This seemed to mean to lead the way. Jiang Li immediately followed Huashu. Surprisingly, there was no water outside the house. Jiang Li walked out of the house and stood on the wet muddy ground. The village in the distance Shrouded in darkness, there was a shimmer of water-like light cast down above his head. Jiang Li followed the light and looked up. It was like being in an undersea tunnel, where the water was separated from the top of his head, and he could still see the moon refracted outside.

It is night now.

Xiaowa's feet were hanging on the mud floor, and she couldn't get a little bit of mud, but Jiang Li had to support the flower tree to stabilize her heels in the slippery mud.

Due to the refracted moonlight on the top, the village exposed in the night is not very dark.

They still have traces of water soaked during the day, and there is still wet mud on the ground, but the water ghosts who cannot live without water are gone.

Walking into the village with one foot deep and one foot shallow, there are ruins everywhere, but you can still vaguely see the original traces of the village. Jiang Li tried hard to combine it with the village scene he saw in the illusion, but he couldn't find it anymore. out of resemblance.

They walked between houses, on the road that should have been the village road but was soaked at the moment, passed one house after another, and came to the best preserved building in the middle of the village, which was made of bricks and tiles. The design, the corner cornices, looks like a ancestral hall.Xiaowa stopped in front of the hall, raised her legs and stepped into the half-open door.

Jiangli Huashu followed, the inside of the ancestral hall was pitch black, Huashu took out a lighter to take a picture, it was indeed the ancestral hall, there were rows of long tables inside, and many memorial tablets were densely placed on the long tables, even after years of erosion, the lake water After soaking, it was still placed neatly, and there was no sign of damage and festering at all, as if it was newly made.The flame of the lighter shone through, and the lacquer on the tablet was dark and shiny.

Xiaowa stood in front of the long table in the middle and nodded towards the table.

Jiang Li walked over and saw a palm-sized wooden round box on top of it.

The box was covered with a lid, like a pawn for chess pieces.

This box doesn't look like a sand table.

Jiang Li took a step forward, opened the lid of the box, and saw a pattern rising from the bottom of the box. The pattern was suspended one foot above the top of the box, and it was a three-dimensional translucent microscopic model of the village.

What this model shows is not the destroyed Dazhuang Village, but the Xiaozhuang Village by the lake above the water.Projected from the bottom of the box, it is as lifelike as a projected image.
