Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 27 Corpse Rat

I don't know what happened, but when our boat passed through the pile of corpses, those floating corpses floated over one by one, surrounding our boat, making it impossible for the boat to move forward.In desperation, I had no choice but to jump onto the deck and use a penny to push away the floating corpses on the side of the boat.But those floating corpses gathered more and more, until they almost blocked the entire water area, and I couldn't push it open with a penny.The snow-white and swollen corpses floated around us. Although we studied archaeology, we were still a little apprehensive in the face of these piles of corpses.

At this time, Mr. Goat’s voice was heard from the fishing boat in front: “Dead bodies block the way, and there is nowhere to go! I beg the King of the Yellow River to show mercy and let us live!” After that, Mr. Goat knelt down on the deck.

Seeing this, the others followed Mr. Goat and knelt down one after another, clasped their fists together, and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "I beg the King of the Yellow River to be merciful and let us live!"

Mr. Goat threw a wad of paper money into the air, and the paper money fluttered in the air like yellow butterflies circling. Then Mr. Goat stood up tremblingly and shouted at Yu Guangwei on the third fishing boat Said: "Do Xueyin! Quick! Do Xueyin!"

Yu Guangwei stomped his feet violently and pushed his wife to the ground.

Screaming to Qinmei: "Why are you hitting me again?"

Without saying a word, Yu Guangwei grabbed Xiang Qinmei's hair and dragged her to the edge of the deck.

Everyone looked at Yu Guangwei in bewilderment, not understanding what he was going to do to Qinmei.

Yu Guangwei pressed Xiang Qinmei's arm, and took out a sharp dagger from the back of his waist: "Old woman, don't blame me, I have no choice but to bear it! Only in this way can everyone's lives be saved!"

Xiang Qinmei yelled in horror, tears streaming out: "What are you going to do? Let me go! Bastard! What are you going to do to me? Ah——"

Yu Guangwei used a dagger to cut a deep gash in each of Xiang Qinmei's palms, blood flowed out instantly, and Xiang Qinmei struggled while screaming loudly.

Yu Guangwei held Xiang Qinmei tightly, put her hands outside the side of the boat, and let the blood in his palms drip into the water.

"It's so cruel! It's so cruel! How can he treat his wife like this?" I gritted my teeth and cursed. I hate the most when a big man bullies a woman, and he will rush up when his head gets hot.

Gu Mei Di grabbed me and whispered in my ear: "Don't go! That Mr. Goat is not easy!"

I stomped my feet angrily: "What blood quotes? This is simply a sign of ignorance! What age is this, I didn't expect such stupid people to exist!"

Gu Meidi said, "Can you keep your voice down?"

I said angrily: "What? Are you afraid they won't hear you? I want to speak louder! I want to wake up these ignorant idiots!"

"Hey! Hey! Stop scolding, look! Look!" Gu Meidi tugged at my arm.

There are really many things in this world that we cannot explain with science. Yu Guangwei's approach seems absurd and ignorant, but everyone was surprised to find that after the blood dripped into the water, the floating corpses seemed to have been stimulated , It slowly drifted away with the waves of the water, and it never blocked the way.

I opened my mouth in a daze, and stared at this scene dumbfounded, and could no longer swear the following words.

Xiang Qinmei also stopped crying, she got up from the ground, pointed at Yu Guangwei's nose and cursed: "Why didn't you cut your palm? Are you still a man?"

Yu Guangwei explained: "This is what Mr. Goat ordered! Mr. Goat said that these disasters were caused by you, a dead old woman. You offended the King of the Yellow River, so I have to use your blood to make atonement to the King of the Yellow River. The King of the Yellow River forgive us!"

The fleet was finally able to set sail again, and I secretly exclaimed in my heart: "I didn't expect there to be so many weird things on this ancient Yellow River road. This time I came out and it was really an eye-opener!"

When I was a child, I often heard from my grandfather that there are many taboos and rules for walking on the ancient Yellow River road, and there are also many strange customs and strange myths and legends. These add a lot of mystery to the ancient Yellow River. An important part of.Of course, although I had heard a little about these customs and taboos before walking the ancient Yellow River Road in person, I never thought that these ancient customs and taboos would be so magical. Customs and taboos are not groundless, and their spread has its own reasons, which makes me feel a little more in awe of the Yellow River.

Just as the fleet was about to enter the cave outside, there were screams of panic from people ahead.

I put down the penny, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the water in front of me suspiciously: "What the hell happened again?"

The searchlights on the ship were turned on at the same time, and several dazzling beams of light swept across the water. Under the illumination of the searchlights, we were horrified to find that hundreds of strange animals suddenly appeared in the surrounding waters. mouse.Those mice were about the size of piglets, and their bodies were snow white. The white hairs of the mice were wet and sticky together, which was very ugly.The eyes of those mice turned out to be a strange scarlet, and the long fangs pierced the lips, exposed like a scimitar, shining with a frightening cold light.There was a constant sound of popping on the water, and these terrifying white giant rats sprang up from the water like mushrooms after a spring rain, and rushed towards the floating corpses floating on the water.

I opened my eyes wide in disbelief: "Gu Meidi, tell me, are... are these really mice?"

Gu Meidi was also shocked by the scene in front of him, opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.

The people on the boat were going crazy, and someone couldn't help but yelled: "Damn it! What the hell is this place?"

Looking at the crowd of white rats surging like a tide, my heart trembled crazily. What are the origins of these giant white rats?Where is this cave?Why is there such a huge group of rats besides countless water drifters?All this is so weird, I desperately want to get out of here, away from here.

The next scene made us even more disgusted and frightened. We saw those giant white rats crazily pounced on the floating corpses on the water. In his eyes, those floating corpses are the most delicious food.Those rats cut through the corpse with their sharp fangs, and the corpse oil inside flowed out, and the cave immediately filled with a disgusting stench.Some people with weaker psychological endurance could not help lying on the side of the boat and vomited.

What is even more frightening is that those giant white rats not only devoured the dead bodies, but also quickly gathered towards our ship, apparently preparing to attack the people on board.Hundreds of white giant rats quickly gathered around the boat. When we came back to our senses and wanted to start the boat, we found that the boat could no longer move and was surrounded by giant rats.

I retreated to the cabin in horror: "My God! What are these weird mice?"

Professor Ye said solemnly: "If I'm not mistaken, these should be corpse rats!"

I looked at Professor Ye in surprise: "What? Corpse rats?"

Professor Ye said: "This kind of cadaver rat usually lives in a mass grave or in an ancient tomb where a large number of dead bodies are buried. It makes a living by eating the dead bodies of various people and animals. Over time, a large amount of corpse poison will accumulate in their bodies. .Under the influence of the corpse poison, these mice will have a genetic mutation, their hair will turn white, and their size will also grow crazily..."

Before Professor Ye finished speaking, he heard his grandfather yelling outside: "Come out and help, these mice are about to climb onto the boat!"

We were startled suddenly, quickly picked up the thing and rushed out of the cabin.

Gu Meidi and I each took a penny, and Professor Ye held a wooden stick. He warned us: "Don't be bitten by these corpse rats, otherwise you may be infected with corpse poison!"

We nodded nervously, our palms already overflowing with cold sweat.

"Fuck you!" Grandpa raised the old shotgun, aimed at the head of a corpse rat, and pulled the trigger at close range.

There was a bang, and the melon seeds on the head of the corpse rat burst open, and the stinky mucus was scattered in all directions.

Not to be outdone, we grabbed the guys in our hands and attacked the rats who wanted to climb up the side of the ship.

Gu Meidi raised the penny, aimed at a huge corpse rat, and stabbed it down.The tip of the penny was very sharp, piercing through the corpse rat's body with a swish, nailing the corpse rat to the deck.The Corpse Rat let out a strange chirp, struggled violently twice, and soon fell silent.

I frowned: "Xiao Mian, I can't see that you are quite cruel!"

Gu Meidi wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself! Hey, there are several mice climbing up over there!"

Gu Meidi stretched out his hand and pointed, I raised the penny, and with a note of "sweeping thousands of troops", swept five or six corpse rats that had climbed up the ship's side into the water.

Professor Ye held a wooden stick in his hand, just like whack-a-mole. As long as the head of a corpse rat emerged from the side of the ship, the wooden stick in Professor Ye's hand would fall down.With one hit, those corpse rats fell into the water with a plop.

Even though we fought hard to resist, the rats didn't show the slightest intention to back down. Killing and death made them even crazier.They are like warriors who are not afraid of life and death. When one falls, another will immediately make up for it.

The pennies in our hands have been gnawed by rats to only half. If this situation continues, sooner or later the rats will rush onto the boat.

Now the four ships on the water are surrounded by swarms of rats, and the ships cannot respond to each other, and can only fight alone. The situation is very serious.
