I made random guesses, and my hands were not idle. I cut off half of the fishing net with a few cuts. The three-masted boat was originally entangled in the sea willow boat with the fishing net, but before Shirley Yang and I could cut off the other half of the fishing net,

, under the ups and downs of the sea, the parallel angles of the two ships suddenly separated, and the fishing net was pulled tightly between the two ships. If the force of the tilting of the ship's hull was slightly greater, one of the lifeboats and the fishing net would be

It will be forcibly broken.

Amidst the massive shaking of the hull, my center of gravity tilted backwards and my body hit the cabin. Unexpectedly, the boat was not strong enough to withstand the collision. My body actually sank into the white wooden board of the cabin, causing a big hole to come out.

.

I felt strange and glanced around. From the dent in the hull that I had broken, streams of dirty blood were flowing out. The cabin was not made of wood, but simply made of white cardboard. Shirley Yang saw those

There was turbid and bloody blood, and the color on her face changed. She stretched out her hand to pull me up from the ground. I also noticed something was wrong in the cabin, and quickly said to her: "Escape quickly, escape quickly, this ship is made of white paper, it is a ship."

A ghost ship burned to the souls of the dead at sea.”

The calm water suddenly became turbulent, and the hull of the boat was shaking violently. I had no roots under my feet, and I stumbled backwards. My back hit the cabin. I heard a "click" sound, and the wooden board was knocked into the ground.

When I got in, although the impact was not light, I didn't feel any pain. It felt like I was in an empty paper shell.

I looked back in confusion, and saw that the white three-masted ship, about close to the door, collapsed in a large area after I hit it. It wasn't that the ship's planks were rotten and not strong enough, but that the door was simply made of cardboard.

If it wasn't for Shirley Yang reaching out and grabbing me, it's possible that she couldn't stop the momentum and broke through the cardboard and fell into the cabin. The crack in the cabin door was pitch black, and I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the boat. Only the strong smell of blood inside made me think.

He was about to vomit. The hull of the boat shook, and blood flowed out along the crack in the door.

How could there be a paper boat on the vast sea? I remember that in the coastal areas of China, there was a custom of sending the Five Saints back to the sea on a "Great Summer Boat". On the Great Summer Day, the boat was sent out to sea and left to drift on its own: There is also a strange method similar to chasing away epidemics.

It is a custom that whenever there is an outbreak of contagious plagues such as malaria, similar activities will be held. All abandoned old ships are used. Chasing the epidemic has the meaning of sending the plague god out to sea. Generally, the old ships are covered with white paper, and

There are a lot of paper figures and money tied on the boat. In addition, everything such as swords, spears, guns, various fishing and merchant ship utensils, and masts, troughs, rudders, etc. are all available. Only one liter of white rice can be placed at most. They are all donated by people who sail and fish along the coast.

The more things are donated on the ship, the farther the plague will be sent. Such ships are usually filled with the corpses of people who died of the disease. At most, the ship is full of corpses. The ship is towed to the distant sea and then

Set fire to incinerate.

There was an incident before liberation. There was a rice shop in a town near the sea. Late one night, a customer suddenly came and asked for rice. Because it was dark, the owner of the rice shop couldn't see clearly the guest's face. He seemed to be wearing

He was wearing a long robe. The clothes were very strange, a bit like the murderous clothes worn by the dead. Moreover, the visitor smelled of salty and rotten corpses. When asked why, the visitor said that the ship was carrying pork, and he was afraid of damage due to the long journey.

I took all the fresh meat with heavy salt and fishy taste. I didn’t expect that although the pork had been salted, it was still rotten and smelly because of the too hot weather. I will find a place to dispose of it at dawn tomorrow. The shopkeeper of Mipu is a greedy person.

Those who are cheap will see that these rice prices are very cheap. The only drawback is that the bag containing the rice is a bit smelly. However, the rice shop owner believes that it does not matter even if the rice smells of smelly meat. You can participate in the takeout and no one will notice.

, so he didn’t ask much else, lit a lantern and weighed the rice, and then ordered the waiter to put the rice in the courtyard for the time being, let the wind pass at night, and then enter the rice warehouse at dawn tomorrow, otherwise it would be too smelly, who would

When I looked at it the next morning, I saw that all the dozens of bags of rice that had been opened and dumped in the courtyard were gone. Only the grains of rice were left on the ground, which were about one liter in total. Only then did I realize that it might have been a ghost attack last night.

He bought rice from the plague ship and did not dare to announce it at the time. Within three days, the plague broke out in the town and nearly half of the people died.

I heard this legend more than once when I was in Fujian. All the narrators said that this incident was true, but it did not happen in Fujian. The specific place of the incident was somewhere along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was an old incident during the Republic of China. At that time

I am young and have an immature world view, so I really like to hear about this kind of strange power and chaos. I still remember it fresh. Sometimes I accidentally think of the zombies on the ship who go to the rice shop at night to sell rice and send away plagues. I really feel a bit chilly on the back of my neck.

So when I saw that the door of the ship was sealed with white cardboard, I first thought it was a ship chasing the epidemic. I wonder if the ship was separated from the ship that towed it and drifted here with the ocean current?

I immediately remembered this matter, but hasn't the custom of chasing epidemics been abolished long ago? I couldn't understand it at the moment, but I had a preconceived idea of ​​chasing the epidemic ship, and thought that this ship was definitely not a good place. If I stayed for a long time, maybe it would

The epidemic could spread to the corpses on the ship, so I didn't bother to look more carefully, and hurriedly called Shirley Yang to quickly withdraw the "Trident".

Shirley Yang poked the deck under his feet with his fishing knife, making a thumping sound, and said to me: "How can there be a paper ship on the sea? All ships have front and rear hatches covered with paper armor. If the entire ship

The boats were all made of paper and had long been swallowed up by the surge.

I thought to myself that although Shirley Yang has a wide range of knowledge, she received an American education after all. How long is the history of the United States? Of course, I don’t know that China is a vast country with rich resources and has many strange customs and customs since ancient times. The current situation is urgent, so how can I care about it anymore?

He gave a detailed explanation, and at this time, the sea was filled with mist and the atmosphere was thick. He was afraid that a rice seller would jump out of the cabin that was oozing with blood, so he didn't say any more and immediately took her hand and ran to the ship's bow.

The sea surge gradually increased, and the last half of the fishing net entangled with the two boats was almost broken even without cutting it with a knife. In order to prevent an accident, Shirley Yang still used a knife to completely cut the fishing net. The two boats lost their connection, and the hulls

As it swayed further and further away, the gangplank fell into the sea. The boss of the ship, Ruan Hei, controlled the trident to respond with all his strength, making it stick as close to the three-masted ship as possible. Several people on the opposite ship shouted at us and listened, and pulled the two

The cables tied with the lifebuoy were thrown to us one after another. I threw away the fish-cutting knife and hugged the lifebuoy tightly with my arms. It seemed that if I wanted to return to the "Trident", I could only float through the air like a monkey.

The sea surface.

The height of the deck from the water is very low, but Duoling and Guchai are very experienced. They have already wrapped the rope around a higher place on the top of the ship in advance. They have to grab the rope and go over without falling into the water. They are about to take action, but the fat man

I shouted loudly and pressed the searchlight beam onto the sea surface, as if there was something in the water. I lowered my head to look at the sea surface under the boat, and couldn't help but take a breath. The water was full of sharks' spines and fins. They were attracted to the blood.

, are coming from all directions, there are many of them, and they are all circling around the boat. Because they are so excited, they swim so fast that it is dazzling to see. If they fall into the water, they will be torn apart in a moment.

No matter how brave you are, you will feel intimidated when you see these sharks. With their speed and several layers of sharp teeth in their mouths that are better than knives and saws, hunting people who have fallen into the water is like a tiger attacking a sheep. Shirley Yang even knows the blood.

He was horrified by the power of the group of sharks: "Oh my God. Old Hu, be careful, don't fall."

I knew it was powerful without her reminding me, and I had to remind her: "Don't hesitate, don't look into the sea when passing by..." At this time, the three-masted ship was rising and falling even more violently, and the gap between the two ships was

The distance expanded again. Due to the intrusion of sea water, the hull on this side was already tilted. And the farther the distance, the more likely it was that I would fall into the water when swinging over. I no longer had time to fully prepare myself mentally.

It was impossible to walk together. One had to drag the other up to increase the height above the ground and minimize the possibility of touching the water. I dragged Shirley Yang and said, "You go first, I will help you."

…”

Shirley Yang said anxiously: "No, you have to show off again, how can you get there by yourself?" When every second counts for life and death, I don't want to wait for her to say anything more. I pick up her feet and push her up hard. Shirley Yang's body is light.

Pulling the lifebuoy and being driven by the rope, she slid across the water in a flash. As soon as she touched the lifeboat hanging on the side of the ship, she immediately climbed onto the string of the ship with her hands and feet, turned around and shouted to me: "Come here quickly, that ship is going to

It sank."

But at this time, the two boats were undulating with the waves, and the distance between them had widened. Just now, in order to help Shirley Yang swim across the sea, I put my lifebuoy next to me. Before I could find a place to fix it, the two boats came together.

The life buoy was dragged into the water by the cable. Fatty, Guchai and others were so anxious that they jumped on the deck. They quickly pulled the cable to drag the life buoy back to the ship, hoping to throw it over again to save people, but

When it was a little far away, it fell into the sea again.

There was a big crack in the bottom of this three-masted ship, and seawater kept pouring in. Although the hull had tilted, for some reason it not only did not sink, but began to shake, as if something huge on the bottom of the sea was grabbing the bottom of the ship.

If it rocks a few more times, the inherently weak hull will fall apart.

I saw that I was getting farther and farther away from the "Trident". I could no longer see the faces of my companions clearly in the sea fog. They gradually disappeared into the thick fog. I could only hear them shouting desperately. My brain was so heavy that I couldn't hear them.

I don't know what they shouted, but just hearing those voices made me feel a little sad, and a feeling of loneliness arose spontaneously. Is it really going to be buried at the bottom of the sea with this ghost ship? As the ship's hull jolted, the blood in the three-masted cabin

It also kept pouring out and flowed along the deck of the ship into the sea. Although there was no light in the night fog, it was difficult to distinguish the situation on the sea, but listening to the messy noise in the water was like dumplings being put into the pot, and you could tell what was going on around you.

The number of sharks gathered was beyond estimation.

The ship was dark, with only the solitary lamp on the mast on. I looked around and saw almost nothing, so I had to hold the mainmast to steady my center of gravity and turn on the small spotlight flashlight I brought with me. Finally, there was some light again.

I took a look at the torn paper door. The white cabin was stained by the blood flowing out of it, and I could no longer see its original appearance. I thought to myself, I might as well see what was in that cabin before I died.

The thing bleeds so much, so I can report it truthfully when I meet Lao Ma and the others down there, so as not to be questioned and I will remain a confused ghost until the day I die. This ghostly white blood ship seems to be alive, and it is damaged everywhere.

It bleeds, but it doesn't look like a ship to chase the epidemic. I really want to see what's going on in this ghost ship?

I don't know why at the last moment, my curiosity always overcomes my fear. I feel fierce and plan to rush into the boat to see what's going on. But before I can lift my legs, the boat suddenly sinks.

, I cursed "Fuck the second uncle," why did it suddenly sink so fast again?

After so many years of training in the melting pot of the army, and many times doing desperate things like touching the golden captain, when faced with this kind of situation, after all, I couldn't just wait for death, so I bit the micro condenser with my teeth and crawled on it with my hands and feet.

When I got on the mast, the ship sank quickly, so I climbed faster. I climbed to the top of the mast in a few clicks. I saw sea fog all over the top, bottom, left and right, and below there was the chaotic sound of turbulent water and swimming sharks.

Hearing this made my heart tremble.

The three-masted ship sank faster and faster, and the whereabouts of the "Trident" could no longer be seen in the thick sea fog. I thought that all I could do now was try to buy time and wait for them to sail back for rescue. Now I can only

I hope that the ship will sink slower. At first, I could still hear their shouts, but now there is no sound. The hope has become much slimmer. I guess I will never see the day of victory. I am waiting hard.

Before the reinforcements arrived, huge fluctuations suddenly appeared in the sea. The leaking three-masted boat suddenly emerged from the water again, like a leaf fluttering in the wind, being thrown up and down by the waves, spinning in the sky.

Under the violent shaking, the mast I was holding was trembling and tilted to the point of breaking, and might fall into the water at any time.

The three-masted ship finally began to sink into the sea due to water leakage. Sharks were circling in the sea water. I was excited by the smell of blood. The wooden ship was knocked by the sharks and made a clanging sound. I quickly climbed to the top of the mast. Unexpectedly, the hull of the ship was shaking at this time.

When I got up, the part that had sunk into the sea suddenly emerged from the water. In the fog, I could only hear a huge sound in the cabin, like a dragon roaring and a tsunami.

All my clothes were soaked by the sea water stirred up by the three-masted ship. The wind was whistling in my ears. As the ship's hull rose and fell violently, I hugged the mast tightly and dared not let go. When I heard the movement under the ship, I couldn't help but say no.
Chapter completed!
