Chapter 87 The story comes true?

Hearing that Ji Que wanted to hear a story, the muscular old man with six toes swung his pipe and puffed on the smoke while telling Ji Que about a strange thing that happened on the Wu Gorge of the Yangtze River.

Lu Laoliu's hometown is a small fishing village on the Yangtze River. He has had a close relationship with Wu San from the same village since he was a child.

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

Due to his extraordinary talent in sailing and the characteristics of six toes, Lu Laoliu quickly established a foothold in a certain boat shop. As for later coming to Tianren City and having his own boat, that was a story later.

It was very hard when running waterways in the Yangtze River. Fortunately for him, he ran on a relatively gentle river. However, his brother Wu San was not so lucky and often ran on the most dangerous Wu Gorge waterway.

The Wu Gorge Waterway is rugged and contains many undercurrents and rocks. Even an experienced helmsman who often runs boats has to be very energetic when going there.

According to Lu Laoliu, the cliffs on both sides of the river are covered with towering ancient trees, which overlap one another. When the river is narrow, the sunlight cannot penetrate very much, and the day seems like night.

On this day, Wu San traveled to this waterway again. This waterway was the most dangerous and difficult, but the wages paid were much higher.

There is no way, Wu San's family is the poorest, and his parents are in poor health, so they really need money more.

It was just 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 he heard a snap and something fell next to him.

There were towering ancient trees on both sides of that section of the waterway, and very little sunlight penetrated. Wu San squinted to look at it, but couldn't see clearly. He only thought it was a piece of clothing.

He had a fuzzy feeling in his heart, and that feeling of not being able to see clearly made him feel very uncomfortable.

At this time, a guy on the boat walked by. Before Wu San could warn him, he had already stepped on him.

In the end, only a sizzling sound was heard, the sole of the boy's foot slipped, and he fell to the deck with a snap.

He was just about to help the other person, when a frightened roar suddenly sounded on the boat.

"Ghost! Ghost!"

The guy fell to the ground, fluttering with his hands and feet, and screamed in terror.

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

At this time, the dim sunset light just shined on the deck again through the shade of the trees.

At this moment, Wu San, who was already frightened, fell to the ground and rolled back.

That's human skin!

The entire head has no bones and flesh to support it, but the appearance of the facial features is still there, especially the pair of yellow eyes, which seem to be staring at you coldly.

That's how the guy was scared just now.

Even the experienced ship boss was startled, and the helper beside him couldn't help but said with a trembling voice: "Boss, what is this?"

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

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

This section of the waterway is full of big trees growing among the cliffs, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, making it feel like another world.

"Piniang thief, who killed someone and dumped the body from above?" said the boss of the ship.

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

Yes, this human skin was lying there. Under the dim light of the bow lantern, it looked particularly complete. There were no traces of blood or wounds. It was very strange.

The boss of the ship slapped the guy on the head and yelled: "Don't bother me, I don't know the rules on the ship? Throw me off the ship and keep working!"

Although the boss of the ship was frightened in his heart, he was an old man after all. He knew that he was afraid of causing panic in such things, so he chose a rougher method.

The human skin was picked up by a waiter on a bamboo pole and thrown down. The moment the thing fell off the boat, Wu San almost peed in fear.

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

A group of people on the boat were frightened.

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

Because they knew that they would be able to arrive at the dock in just two hours, a few of the frightened guys even made an appointment to go to the small mountain town to find women to calm their shock.

Wu San and the guy who stepped on the human skin before were the most frightened.

The boy's name was "Xiao Wu". He was so frightened that he couldn't even do his work, so he was arranged to rest in the cabin.

Wu San is usually not timid, but today's situation was really weird, and he was quite frightened.

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

Especially the last smile of the human skin.

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

In other words, I dare not say it.

Not long after, the exhausted Wu San fell into a deep sleep in the cabin.

Vaguely, he heard the shouts of the boys on the boat, as if they were asking him to go play with the girls.

Wu San felt that this kind of thing could not be unsocial, so he struggled to open his eyes.

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

The human skin was attached to 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 his smile was glowing 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, only a bang was heard as the door opened.

"Lao San, Xiao Wu, don't sleep, we're almost here."

Wu San only saw the human skin flash and get out of the gap in the cabin with something.

At this time, a terrible scream sounded in the cabin.

On the bed next to Wu San, which was Xiao Wu's bed, lay a skinless corpse.

Only then did Wu San realize that the thing that the woman's leather belt had just taken away was Xiao Wu's leather leather.

Xiao Wu's skin was completely ripped off!

Later, after Wu San and others landed ashore, they did not dare to board the ship for nearly a month.

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

Rouge was a very beautiful girl who lived in the upper reaches of Wu Gorge. She had a sweetheart for a long time. Once, she took a boat to this small mountain town to see her sweetheart. As a result, bandits robbed the boat and killed her.

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

The cargo ship hijacked by the bandits arrived at the dock quietly, but what surprised the people on the dock was that no one got off.

Someone later boarded the boat to inquire, only to find that there was only a young woman hiding in the bottom of the boat, and the rest of the people had turned into skinless corpses.

This incident was a big fuss at that time, but in a small place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The yamen is used to being domineering and has little strength. There is no time to take care of such strange and chaotic things.

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

The rumor of the weird human skin also started at that time, but not many people actually encountered it and believed it. Unexpectedly, Wu San had such "good" luck that time.

"I have pity on our brother. He has never been in the water or left the small fishing village in his hometown. But when we went back last time, we found that he actually had a virtuous wife and beautiful daughter, and his life was not bad.

, I am so envious of you, old man.”

As he spoke, Lu Laoliu took a puff of cigarette, which was so fierce.

By this time, the setting sun had completely set, mist appeared on the river, and the boat soon became alone.

The weather was bad today, so the lights lit on the boat soon became the only source of light here.

The steep mountains on both sides looked like ferocious beasts that were about to swallow the entire ship.

For a moment, after listening to the story, Ji Que 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: "Sixth Master, you don't care whether it's true or not in advance, it's quite exciting to hear."

At this time, Lu Laoliu couldn't help laughing and said: "That's not true, young master, if it weren't for your handsome appearance, I wouldn't make up stories for you, old man. My boss, I am a native of Tianren.

People from this city have never been to Wushan and Wuxia."

Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi blinked at the same time.

Damn it, this old man told a story with so much emotion and emotion, it's so true.

I really believed his evil deeds!

Ji Que couldn't help but sigh: "Old man, it would be a pity if you don't tell stories."

Lu Laoliu laughed loudly and said: "There really is a teahouse that invites me to go, but I don't want to go there. I said, how can there be so many gods and ghosts in this world? After all, they all look like the old man.

Made up by people like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a snapping sound, as if something like clothes fell on the stern of the boat.

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

Lu Laoliu said with a smile: "What could it be? It can't be human skin, right?"

It was just that he was smiling, but the expression on his face was quite stiff.

Because at this moment, a misty female voice floated over.

The sound doesn't sound like singing, but a bit like opera, as if a beautiful actress on the stage is singing with her voice high.

The sound was distant and near, carrying a sad tone, echoing in the mountains and forests on both sides of the river.

Lu Laoliu said with a bitter look on his face: "This late at night, deep in the mountains and forests, what crazy woman is singing and scaring people? What should I do?"

The singing gradually faded away, but at this moment, a small chirping sound came from the stern of the boat, like a piece of water-soaked clothing being dragged along the wooden planks.

Or rather, wet human skin?

At this time, Lu Laoliu looked like he was about to cry. He curled his six toes together and said in a crying voice: "No way, you are so unlucky?"

He just dared to make up a ghost story to scare Ji Que. That was because his boating had always been smooth sailing and nothing had happened to him.

And tonight.

Ji Que stood there with a calm expression.

Isn't it normal to encounter a ghost if you are unlucky enough to take a boat ride and listen to a story?
