Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding

Hearing that Ji Que wanted to hear a story, the muscular six-toed old man flicked the pipe, and while puffing, he told Ji Que a strange incident that happened on the Wu Gorge of the Yangtze River.

Lu Laoliu's hometown is a small fishing village by the Yangtze River. He has a good relationship with Wu San in the same village since he was a child.

Due to the heavy taxation at that time, a group of young people in the fishing village found it difficult to make a living only by fishing, so they went to the Yangtze River Wharf together to work as buddies.

Due to his extraordinary talent in sailing and the characteristic of having six toes, Lu Laoliu quickly gained a firm foothold in a certain boat company. As for later coming to Tianren City and having his own boat, that is something for another time.

At that time, it was very hard to run the waterway in the Yangtze River. He was okay and ran the relatively gentle river, but his brother Wu San was not so lucky. He often ran the most dangerous section of the Wuxia waterway.

The waterway of Wuxia Gorge is rugged, and there are many hidden currents and reefs. Even the old helmsman who often runs the boat has to play hard when he gets there.

According to Lu Laoliu, the cliffs on both sides of the river are full of towering ancient trees, overlapping each other. When the river is narrow, the sunlight can't penetrate too much, and the day is like night.

On this day, Wu San went to this waterway again, which was the most dangerous and hard way, but the wages paid were quite a bit more.

There is no way, the Wu family is the poorest, and the parents are not in good health, so they really need money more.

It was dusk at that time, the sky was dark, and the sounds of apes on both sides of the river echoed on both sides, like ghosts crying.

Wu San was still moving goods on the deck, but suddenly heard a cracking sound, and something fell beside him.

The ancient trees on both sides of that section of the waterway are towering, and the sunlight barely seeps in. Wu San squinted his eyes to look at it, but he couldn't see it clearly, he just thought it was a piece of clothing.

There was a hairy feeling in his heart, and that feeling of not being able to see clearly made him very uncomfortable.

At this time, a fellow on the boat walked by, and before Wu San had time to remind him, the other party had already stepped on it.

In the end, there was only a sizzling sound, and the guy slipped on the sole of his foot, and fell to the deck with a bang.

He was just about to help the other party, but a terrified roar suddenly sounded on the boat.

"Ghost! Ghost!"

The guy fell to the ground, flailing his hands and feet, and yelled in horror.

After the boat boss heard the movement, he rushed over with his people.

At this time, the dim sunset light just re-projected on the deck through the shade of the trees.

At this moment, Wu San, who had already been frightened, fell to the ground in fright, and scrambled back.

That is a piece of human skin!

The whole head has no bones and flesh to support it, but the facial features are still there, especially those yellow eyes, which seem to be staring at you coldly.

That's how the guy was scared just now.

Even the well-informed captain of the ship was startled, and the helper next to him couldn't help trembling: "Boss, what is this?"

The boss of the boat picked up Wu San who was next to him, and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

Wu San pointed to the top of his head, and said anxiously: "I don't know, it feels like it fell from above?"

This section of waterway is full of big trees growing between the cliffs, and it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate, just like another world.

"My lady thief, it must be someone who killed someone and threw the body from above." Said the boss of the boat.

The guy next to him tremblingly said: "But, there is no corpse, and there is no corpse with only one skin."

Yes, this piece of human skin lay there, under the dim light of the bow lantern, it looked very complete, and there were no bloodstains or wounds, which was very strange.

The boss of the boat slapped the guy on the head, and shouted: "Stop talking to me, I don't know the rules on the boat? Throw it overboard and continue working!"

Although the boss of the boat was apprehensive, he was an old Jianghu after all. He knew that this kind of thing would cause panic if the gods and gods talked about it, so he chose a rougher method.

That piece of human skin was thrown down by a guy with a bamboo pole, and the moment the thing fell off the boat, Wu San almost peed in fright.

At that moment, the human skin seemed to be smiling.

A group of people on board were terrified enough.

But soon, the most dangerous section of the waterway passed, the water suddenly calmed down, and everyone's tense hearts gradually calmed down.

Because they knew that they would arrive at the pier in just two more hours, and the frightened guys even made an appointment to go to the small mountain town to find a woman to calm their shock.

Wu San and the guy who stepped on the human skin were the worst scared.

The guy's name was "Xiao Wu", and he was so frightened that he couldn't do the work easily, so he was arranged to rest in the cabin.

Wu San is usually quite courageous, but today's situation was really weird, and he was quite frightened.

The cold feeling brought by that piece of human skin made his hairs stand on end even when he recalled it.

Especially the last smile on the human skin.

He knew that the companions on the boat must have seen that smile too, but they didn't say anything.

Or rather, dare not say.

Not long after, the exhausted Wu San fell asleep in the cabin.

In a vague way, he heard the yelling of the boatman, as if they wanted him to play with girls.

Wu San felt that this kind of thing had to be out of gregariousness, so he struggled to open his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, the woman's skin fell into his sight.

The human skin was stuck on the wooden board above his head, looking at him coldly, and then suddenly showed the same smile as before.

I don't know who lit the oil lamp next to him, and the smile was yellow.

For a moment, feces, urine and snot poured out of Wu San's body. He was so frightened that he wanted to scream, but no sound came out of his throat.

At this time, there was only a bang of the door opening.

"Third brother, Xiao Wu, don't sleep, we're almost here."

Wu San only saw that the human skin flashed, and he got out of the cabin with something.

At this time, there was a terrible cry in the cabin.

Wu San's bed next door, that is, Xiao Wu's bed, lay a skinless corpse.

Only then did Wu San realize that the thing that was taken away by the woman's belt just now was Xiao Wu's skin.

Xiao Wu's skin was peeled off alive!

Later, after Wu San and the others went ashore, they dared not board the boat for nearly a month.

After everyone inquired, they learned from the old man in the small mountain city that the woman's skin probably belonged to a woman named "Rouge".

Yanzhi is a very beautiful girl who lives in the upper reaches of Wu Gorge and has a sweetheart for a long time. Once, she went to this small mountain city by boat to see her sweetheart, but she was killed by bandits who hijacked the boat.

It is said that when she was thrown from the boat, her body was scratched by a protruding bamboo pole, and when she fell into the river, her skin was torn off.

And the cargo ship hijacked by the gangsters arrived at the pier quietly afterwards, but what surprised the people on the pier was that no one came down.

Someone from behind boarded the boat to inquire, only to find that there was only one young woman hiding at the bottom of the boat, and the rest were all skinless corpses.

At that time, this incident caused a big disturbance, but the small place was so high that the emperor was far away, and the yamen was used to being domineering, and they didn't have much strength, so there was no time to take care of such strange things.

After that, the boatman running on that section of the river would hear a woman singing from time to time. If you listen carefully, you will find that it is a woman who is telling her that she is lonely and wants to find someone to accompany her.

The rumors about the weird human skin also started at that time, but few people actually met them, and not many people believed them. Unexpectedly, Wu San had "good" luck that time.

"Poor our brother, he has never been in the water again, and he has never been out of the small fishing village of his hometown. But when we went back last time, we found that he had a virtuous wife and a beautiful daughter, and his life was not bad. , I am so envious of the old man."

As he said that, Lu Laoliu took a sharp puff of his cigarette, which was called a ferocious one.

At this time, the sun had completely sunk, and the water mist appeared on the river, and the boat quickly became alone.

The weather was bad today, and the lights lit on the ship quickly became the only light source here.

The steep mountains on both sides looked like ferocious giant beasts, about to swallow the whole boat.

For a moment, after listening to the story, Ji Que only felt that he was standing in the dark waterway of Wu Gorge.

After hearing such a story in such an environment, Ji Que couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Sixth Master, you don't care whether it's true or not, it's quite exciting to hear."

At this time, Lu Laoliu couldn't help laughing, and said: "That's right, my son, if I didn't see you as handsome, I wouldn't make up stories for you to relieve your fatigue. My boss, I am a native of Tianren. People in the city, where have you been to Wushan Wuxia?"

Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi blinked at the same time.

Fuck, the old man told a story with such a voice, it's a lie.

I really believed his evil!

Ji Que couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Old man, it's a pity that you don't go to storytelling."

Lu Lao Liu laughed loudly and said: "There are really teahouses that invite me to go, but the old man is not willing. People like this made it up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a bang, and something like clothes fell on the stern of the boat.

Ji Que glanced at him and asked, "What is it?"

Lu Laoliu smiled and said, "What could it be? It can't be human skin, right?"

It's just that he smiled and smiled, and the expression on his face stiffened a lot.

Because at this time, there was a misty female voice floating over.

The sound didn't sound like singing, it was a bit like an opera, as if Huadan on the stage was singing with her voice hanging.

The voice was far and near, with a sense of sadness, echoing in the mountains and forests on both sides of the river.

Lu Laoliu said with a bitter face: "It's late at night, deep in the mountains and forests, what kind of crazy woman sings operas, what should I do if I scare people?"

The singing gradually faded away, but at this moment, there was a small chi-chi sound coming from the stern of the ship, as if a piece of clothing soaked in water was being dragged along the board.

Or, wet human skin?

At this time, Lu Lao Liu looked as if he was about to cry, curled up his six toes, and said in a crying voice: "No way, so unlucky?"

He dared to make up a ghost story to scare Ji Que just now, it was because he had always sailed smoothly, so nothing happened.

And tonight.

Ji Que stood there with a calm face.

Isn't it normal to encounter ghosts by taking a boat and listening to a story?
