triple world

Today's itinerary is boating.

The group of people still finished breakfast at the family next door, and the expression on the woman's face changed when she heard Fu Yan and the others say that they were going to go boating.

She muttered her lips a few times and finally said nothing, but said "be careful when playing in the water" when Fu Yan and the others left.

In fact, this sentence should not have been said by her. For foreign tourists, this kind of remark was brought up abruptly after the incoherent words. It always makes people feel that they don't expect good things from them.

Fu Yan also felt that the most important thing in her words was the word "water", and she subconsciously relaxed it when she said it.

This Sanlong Village is really weird, afraid of old houses and water, or is there any connection between the two?

When they came out, there was an old lady washing clothes in the small lake by the door. She was squatting on the steps by the lake, and the soap foam from her hands drifted away along the current, dirtying the water.

This lake is actually not big, and there is no obvious water flow confluence. It should be hidden on the west side of the lake, where the dirty things on the lake surface gather there, but their side is cleaner.

However, seeing the filth of the water surface not far from the steps blocked by bamboo poles and other sundries, Fu Yan felt that few people who were present here would dare to wear the clothes washed here.

When they passed by, the old man greeted them kindly and told them to have fun, but when she heard the boating, she also changed her face, and quickly put away the unwashed clothes and went back without saying a word.

"What's going on?" Wang Xiaona was a little strange.

The hostess of the house next door and the old lady felt a little bit shy away, they were really afraid of this word.

For a while, everyone was a little serious. If they really wanted to get on the boat, they would be involuntary if they were in danger.

It's just that no matter how worried you are, you can only follow the itinerary given by the mirror.

There are not only this small area of ​​houses in Sanlong Village, but there are two rows of houses along the path to the south. To the east of those houses is the largest river here, and to the south is the tributary of the river that enters the village. Fu Yan's destination is right there.

As a village with many water sources, Sanlong Village has a business of renting out boats for those tourists to take them to some nearby small islands. Row yourself.

When Fu Yan and the others walked to the location marked on the map, there was only an old man in his 70s and [-]s sitting on a small stool by the river. When he heard Fu Yan's footsteps, he asked lazily: "Rent Ship? One hundred and one day."

He didn't even look at anyone, just took another puff of the cigarette he had in his mouth.

"Master, one hundred per person?" Fu Yan stepped forward and asked.

When the old man heard his words, he turned to look at him: "A boat is one hundred."

When he turned his head, everyone saw his face and couldn't help but gasp.

The old man looks tough just from the back view, but his face is already full of wrinkles, the skin is loose and drooping, and white spots cover his entire face, making him look extremely old, and his eyes are also a little cloudy , as if he couldn't see things clearly, it made people feel a little weird at first glance.

The two girls, Li Qian and Wang Xiaona, couldn't help but took two steps back to distance themselves from him.

And the boat he was talking about should be the concrete boat in the river. It looked a bit worn out, but it was big enough and there was no water in the boat.

Fu Yan had a feeling that this ship was just for them.

They didn't talk much to the old man, and the other party didn't respond to their interest, and let them board the boat directly after they paid the money, and didn't mention rowing for them.

There are only two bamboo poles on board, which are probably the so-called oars.

The old man had already turned his back, and a group of people boarded the boat one after another.

"Which of you can row a boat?" Gong Ming asked with some embarrassment. He was actually a little seasick, even if he was a little swaying now, he was starting to feel a little uncomfortable.

The two girls shook their heads, they wouldn't be dizzy, it's just that they didn't have the strength to support such a boat.

Fu Yan and the others don't have this experience, so they can only take a look for the time being. After several attempts, they decided to let Gu Wensheng and Wu Bin punt the boat. They are actually not very good at it, but they won't make the boat crooked and lose direction. At least they can move forward. .

Soon, the boat went out along the river, and was about to enter the big river of the narration.

After drawing a certain distance, Fu Yan turned his head and saw the old man staring at them, but he couldn't see his expression clearly because he was a little far away, but he was inexplicably chilly.

"What's wrong?" Gu Wensheng followed his gaze, and also saw the old man who had changed his sitting posture, and quickly frowned.

He didn't notice that gaze, the reason was simple, the old man wasn't looking at him, he should be staring at other people in the team.

So, who is that person?

Gu Wensheng did not mention this discovery. If other people knew about it, it would probably cause them to panic again. Now, the whole team is already a little uneasy because of that old man.

"Let's go over there and have a look." Wu Bin laughed dryly and pointed to a small island over there.

It was the only small island in the waters of Sanlong Village. The river channel running north-south ran eastward at that position, and the distance from the small island to the river banks on three sides was about the same.

Everyone has no opinion.

To be honest, the boating project in Sanlong Village has almost no temptation for them. If there is no scenery, it is just such a bare island with a few old houses. What a boating project.

But they are competent tourists, so they must act according to the plan made at the beginning.

The water in the river channel is not deep, and the bamboo pole can easily reach the bottom by pushing it down, but the further you go to the big river, the longer the length of the bamboo pole submerged in the water surface, which makes people worry that they will not be able to reach the bottom when they reach the middle of the river.

And soon their guess came true.

The river was not wide, but for some reason, it was impossible to reach the bottom, as if there was a bottomless crack in the middle of the river. Fortunately, they could still reach the shore, propping up the mud on the side to make the boat move forward.

But when they got to the middle of the river, this trick didn't work anymore, except for Gu Wensheng and Wu Bin who were holding bamboo poles, they could only paddle the water surface with their hands and contribute their own strength.

The temperature in the morning is not high, but it is summer after all, and it is still a bit comfortable to soak your hands in the water.

Fu Yan looked at the surface of the water and couldn't see to the bottom. The bottom was completely dark, and no one knew what danger was lurking in it, so he whispered: "Everyone, hold on to the boat and don't fall."

With the depth of this river, if they really want to fall, it may be difficult to get up. After all, there are only rivers that kill them in the game world, not a safe swimming pool.

After listening to his words, everyone grabbed what they could grab.

Li Qian didn't sleep well after what happened last night, and she is still a little sleepy now. She and Shen Wen stood on both sides of the boat holding hands, and moved their hands mechanically.

However, as she paddled, her expression changed, and she slowly withdrew her hand, staring blankly at her hand, speechless.

The first person who noticed her change was Gong Ming who was sitting in the middle of the boat and said, "Li Qian, what's wrong, you look so bad?"

Li Qian raised her head, her face was pale, she clenched her fist and said with lingering fear, "Something in the water seemed to touch my hand just now."

But she vaguely felt that it was more than just touching. If she hadn't retracted her hand at that time, it might be more than that.

Everyone looked into the water subconsciously, and there was almost nothing but fallen leaves floating with the current, not even a fish.

Their rowing trip had just begun, and there was another weird situation. They couldn't help but pay attention to it, but this person was Li Qian who had seen the shadow before. Everyone subconsciously guessed whether there would be any What is the connection.

Li Qian herself was also very scared, and immediately left the side of the boat and stayed in the center with Gong Ming.

In this situation, other people will not stop her, and it is not the right choice to put her partner in danger.

I don't know if everyone was a little more vigilant, until they arrived at the small island in the middle, nothing like Li Qian happened again.

Shen Wen gave Li Qian a hand, helped her to the shore, and softly comforted her: "You don't see anything wrong, maybe it's just a fish, you were just thinking about it yesterday after being scared, don't be afraid!"

There was nothing on the island except weeds and dead tree stumps, but there was nothing else in this place. They could only walk around this small island a few times, so as not to have to go back once they set foot on it.

Li Qian wanted to stop and rest for a while, her spirit was indeed under a lot of pressure, so Shen Wen stayed with her where she was and held the rope on the boat, otherwise it would float away with the current.

Normally, no one would come here, the island was overgrown with weeds, and there was no road at all. Fu Yan and the others could only move forward while pushing aside the tangled withered grass on the ground.

Fu Yan asked softly, "Is there anything under the water?"

Gu Wensheng walked beside him and nodded, Fu Yan couldn't help but look back at Li Qian who was sitting pale on the ground, so it was true that Li Qian said that something touched her hand.

"Could it be that the boating item in our itinerary is because of that thing under the water?" Fu Yan asked.

Gu Wen said: "Probably so, we have always been stuffed where the danger is."

Song Yu also nodded, strongly agreeing with Gu Wensheng's words, who was not sent by the mirror to die in this messy world?

The island is not big, it took Fu Yan and the others to walk the entire island in a few minutes, neither they nor Gong Ming, Wu Bin and the others had any harvest, as the naked eye could see that there were only weeds in this place.

At this moment, they heard the familiar scream again, it was still Li Qian's.

Fu Yan and the three looked at each other, and ran in the direction they came and went.

When they arrived, Fu Yan found that Li Qian was the only one left by the river, and Shen Wen who had been with her had disappeared, and the boat they took to cross the river had also disappeared.
