Chapter 13 Chapter Eleven The Flood

The flood came, just like the situation thirteen years ago, suddenly appeared in one section of the Yangma River.Rushing down the house without emotion, and then rushing to the next disaster site with power brewing. Unexpectedly, the birthplace of the disaster and the first disaster-affected point would be near Yangma Village.Again, there was no sign, and no one noticed it. When the villagers saw it, it was already too late. The flood quickly submerged farmland and houses, and brought a small half of the horse-raising village into the bottom of the river. The hotel is near the Corpse Pavilion, and the flood peak this time is more violent than thirteen years ago. I am afraid that the Corpse Pavilion will no longer be the dividing line of disaster.

I scurry around the hotel like a headless chicken. Zhao Yun was in a hurry: "What are you doing? You're going to die, don't run away!" "Stupid, you didn't see that I was looking for something!" I continued to search without looking back. "What?" "Lifebuoy. I can't swim at all!" Zhao Yunhan was speechless when she saw that I answered with confidence, she grabbed my arm and ran outside. The air outside the house was full of humidity, and the slightly fishy smell of the river wafted in the wind, which made people very uncomfortable.The surrounding chaos was like a vegetable market with no rules and regulations. People were running around, shouting and crying everywhere.Some people are looking for husbands, some people are looking for children.

Some people even went completely crazy, standing there with a dull expression, holding messy things tightly with their hands, waiting stupidly for the flood to submerge them.I'm afraid it's the end of the world. According to the shopkeeper's words, we ran desperately towards the hills less than 100 meters high in the west. The river was against us, and it followed wherever we ran. Gradually, the shoes became soaked, and when I looked back, I realized that the water had reached less than two meters behind.Not far away, there is a shocking wave towering high and condescending, rushing over.

Probably under the influence of the big man's idea, I subconsciously pushed Zhao Yunhan forward forcefully. The flood peak swept over my head and swept me into the water.At the end of my consciousness, I desperately opened my eyes wide, wanting to take another look at this world with nostalgia. But all I could see was the water, and the miscellaneous litter, twigs, logs, and human corpses tumbling in the water.At that moment, my brain was so clear that I was afraid that even if I didn't drown, I would be squeezed to death by these debris.I'm afraid the appearance after death is not good-looking, forget it, I have no choice!

I wanted to laugh at myself, but at this moment, a golden thing suddenly appeared in my sight.It seemed to be moving towards me, and I tried to open my eyes to see it, but got hit on the head with a goddamn firestick. A long time ago, I thought about how I died. At that time, I thought that I would either be famous or notorious for thousands of years. In short, I would not be ordinary, but I never thought that I would die in such an obscure and shameful way. I am really not reconciled up... Am I dead?Am I alive?Or am I dreaming again?The flood just experienced, and a series of things are just my own daydream.Woke up and everything was fine.

So I really woke up, covered my still hurting head, supported my body with my right hand, and sat up. Opening my eyes vigorously, I found myself sitting on an endless river beach.There are round pebbles all under the body, snow-white, crowded and lying quietly. Which section of the Yangma River has he been washed to?What about the flood?I struggled to stand up, glanced around for a while, and suddenly my whole body froze in surprise.I saw countless soul-calling towers standing all over the place close to the river. The number of floors in the Soul Summoning Tower represents the age of the child who drowned.However, some of the summoning towers here have collapsed, some are about to collapse, and none of them are complete.

There is also a black object not far away from me, which looks like a ship, but I can't tell how big it is due to the distance.I approached that object cautiously, and finally saw clearly that it was indeed a ship.An aging diesel-powered ferry. The ferry did not dock in the water on the shore, but ran aground abruptly on a rocky beach.The mottled hull is dirty and looks out of harmony with the environment. I look to the sky.There is no sun in the sky, and there is no blue silhouette, but only layers of low dark clouds. The surrounding atmosphere has an astonishingly oppressive feeling that makes one feel restless.When I got to the front of the boat, I climbed up with great difficulty, and the inside of this small ferry, which was only more than ten meters long, was immediately unobstructed.

There are several rows of simple seats for passengers in the cabin, there is no cab, the diesel engine is placed behind the ship, and the handle next to it is the rudder that controls the direction. A photo was posted on the engine, and after I looked at it carefully, I couldn't help being stunned.I actually know the person above, it is the corpse picked up on the pier that day, Zhao Fan. Didn't it mean that Zhao Fan's missing boat has never been found? Why is it here?And why am I here?What exactly is this place? My injured head began to ache again, and I sat weakly on a chair, looking into the distance through the glassless window.

There is a river flowing more than ten meters away, no trees or animals can be seen anywhere, and even the lingering mosquitoes by the river have disappeared, which is really weird. What's even weirder is the river beach. I used my fingers to draw a virtual line perpendicular to the river in the air, and then looked in that direction. I didn't expect to see the river beach, full of snow-white pebbles, and piled up with pebbles. Yes, the incomplete Soul Summoning Tower. There is no reason for such a scene, and there is no such place in the information about Yangmahe in my memory. Not to mention anything else, just looking at such a large number of stones is enough to attract all the upstarts in the nearby sand and gravel fields to go crazy.But this place has not been recorded in any literature, not even on the satellite map that I saw before departure.

Damn, what the hell did I go to? I must find a contact method to ask for help from the outside world, and tell my father, mother, and a bunch of bastards who hope and don't want me to die││I haven't hanged up yet. The brain was thinking hard against the pain, and immediately denied several ways to survive and ask for help. In the end, when I thought about it, my brain was empty, and I realized that no matter what method I used, it was completely ineffective for my current self.The best and only way out is to get out of this endless cobblestone cell.Maybe if you walk along the river and keep walking, you will always come to the civilized world.But was he still alive at that time?

No matter, instead of sitting here waiting to die, it is better to seek death yourself.Thinking about it, I started to act, collected the edible things on the boat, put them in the bags I found, and prepared to disembark. The moment I stepped out of the cabin and came to the side of the ship, I was suddenly stunned by the sight in front of me. I saw that the river beach, which was empty just now, was densely packed with children of all ages.They wore costumes that completely transcended the era, squatting on the ground with concentration, and piled up the Soul Calling Tower in front of them. What on earth happened? My brain was sluggish, and I was completely thrown away in this unexpected and unrealistic situation. I could no longer think effectively. The bag I was carrying in my hand fell to the ground due to shock, and the food rolled all over the floor. It took me a long time to wake up, and I continued to be ecstatic. It seems that I am not in a strange place where birds do not lay eggs, but in a village shrouded in civilization.I just don't know which village near the Yangma River this is, and why they have this weird custom of stacking soul-calling towers! I quickly jumped off the ferry and asked the nearest child, "Little beauty, can you take me to your village?" The seven-year-old girl didn't speak, didn't even look back at me, just buried her head in silence Continue to pile up the stones in front of you.I felt uncomfortable, as if I had overlooked something important, and tried to talk to the other kids around me, and finally, I understood what was wrong. I was stunned once again, the bone marrow of my whole body seemed to freeze, my muscles contracted, and I couldn't move anymore. Voice, I can't hear my own voice!No wonder I felt that the surroundings were so quiet that it was maddening from just now, but due to the anxiety and helplessness of coming to a strange place and the desire to survive, I didn't pay much attention to it. Did you encounter the phenomenon of Mysterious disappearances (mysterious disappearance)? In 1711, more than 4,000 Spanish soldiers were stationed overnight on Mount Pelianmin.The next day, when the reinforcements arrived there, the camp fires were still burning, the horses and artillery remained intact, but thousands of officers and soldiers were all missing.The military searched for months, but there was still no trace. One night in the spring of 1903, in a small village in northern Canada, more than a hundred Eskimos suddenly disappeared, and even the grave at the head of the village was opened, and the bones inside were gone, only clothes and eating utensils , Drinking utensils and other daily necessities are intact. These all come down to the phenomenon of Mysterious disappearances.No one knows where those people went. Some researchers believe that in addition to the three-dimensional space we live in, there is a fourth-dimensional space that humans cannot perceive. I am afraid that the position I am in now is one of the countless fourth-dimensional spaces. No wonder I don't feel hungry so far, and I don't have the slightest desire to excrete. Could it be that he is really dead, and what is left now is just a lonely soul?This is Santu River at all, so where is the Naihe Bridge?Where is Meng Po? "There is no Mengpo here, and there is no Naihe Bridge." A silver-like laughter came from behind, very pleasant. Turning his head suddenly, he found a little girl walking behind him at some point, a very beautiful little girl, with big eyes, wearing a short white skirt, a pale face, and long black hair blowing in the river wind. Swinging, but not being blown very scattered. She was smiling, blinking her long eyelashes, and said softly: "I knew you would come back." "Who are you?" Although she is a cute girl, but in the four-dimensional space, nothing It can happen.I watched her warily and asked. "My name is Mu Hongsi, and I'm your wife." There was an innocent smile on her face. "Have I ever married a wife named Mu? Why can't I even remember it myself!" I wondered. "Yes, we had a wedding. You won't lie to me this time, leave me and leave, will you?" "Have I been here before?" I couldn't figure it out even more. "Of course, you were so young back then, and you lied to me." The girl pouted, "But it doesn't matter, no matter how many times you run away, I will catch you back!" Suddenly an unbelievable thought popped up in her heart, I shouted in surprise: "You are the golden baby!" "What golden baby?" Although she was puzzled, she still had a smile on her face, which seemed to be the only expression. Although her smile was sweet, it made me shudder.It's like no matter how good the music is, if you listen to it constantly, every day, one day you will feel like vomiting. "Don't worry about it so much, come and play with me." She wanted to grab my hand, but I dodged it subconsciously. Mu Hongsi grabbed me again unwillingly, and the moment she was about to touch me, there was already a pair of hands behind me tightly hugging me. She held my hand and pulled me back hard, and whispered in my ear: "Don't go with her, or you will never go back." For some reason, her voice gave me a feeling of trust.I followed her and ran desperately, I don't know how long I ran before stopping.Turning around, it was a girl again.She was wearing white clothes, with a silk scarf covering her face, so she couldn't see her face.However, the age should not exceed six years old. "Xiao Ye, do you know the correct way to build the Soul Summoning Tower?" She walked up to a pile of stones, motioned me to squat down and asked. I scratched my head: "Who are you and why do you know my name?" "You've grown up. But now is not the time to introduce yourself, hurry up and pile up the tower, or she will catch you." The girl's There was a hint of hesitation in the voice, "Everyone has a tower. This is your tower. It was built once when you were five years old. If it is Xiao Ye, I believe you can remember the method of building the tower!" " I have never built it before, let alone what method is needed to build a tower!" I looked at the five-story soul-calling tower that had been collapsed under my feet, and said: "The first floor of the soul-calling tower represents one year old. Do I want to build eighteen floors? It’s hard to pile up cobblestones at all!” The girl raised her head and looked at me through the silk scarf, “You just need to stack this five-story pagoda again, and you can return to your world.” “Where is this place? "I was keenly aware that there seemed to be an understanding of this place in her words. "I don't know, I've already been here after waking up." The girl said calmly, "Hurry up, she's coming." Under her urging, although I didn't know why, I still squatted in front of the Soul Calling Tower After thinking hard, I also began to try to pile up the towers.But as soon as the fourth floor is reached, the entire tower will collapse, and no matter what method is used, it cannot be piled up. Just as I was about to get angry, I felt the girl's hands tightly grasping me, staring at me behind her, her body even trembling.Following her line of sight, there was fog in the distance, and the sound of suona came from a distance in the fog, which was extremely lively.Could it be that there are people in the fourth dimension who get married and send the bride? In my doubts, the noisy suona sound was getting closer, the white tumbling mist, and the black figures seemed to emerge from the end of the sky, walking here in a row. "It seems that it's too late, it's okay, there is one last way!" The girl next to me became even more anxious, she hugged me tightly, and seemed to have made a decision: "Xiao Ye, no matter what, as long as you are saved, I will be satisfied." It's gone." Then my head became dizzy, and in my sight, the voice and figure of the girl in white were violently distorted and deformed.The eyes suddenly went dark, and then a dazzling light radiated out. On the other side of the light, father and mother, uncles and aunts, aunts, aunts, seventh aunts, eighth aunts, all the familiar and unfamiliar anxious faces are slowly revealed...
