The fishing man is not stupid. In order to prevent accidents, he tied a hemp rope to the bow of the boat. If something goes wrong, people on the shore can pull the hemp rope and drag the boat back.
"You two are watching from the shore. When I lift the big light over there, you pull back." He turned on the fishing light he carried with him, took a deep breath, and jumped into the boat.
The water is pitch black, no one knows what is hidden underneath, and it looks a bit scary.
His body swayed with the boat. The fishing man slowly sat down, placed the harpoon in a convenient position, and sandwiched the fishing light between his legs. After doing this, he picked up the oar.
"Do you want to think about it again?" Zhang Dapo was guarding the hemp rope. He was really worried that the fishing man would never come back. After catching so many fish, he would eventually be buried in the belly of the fish. This would be a bit miserable.
"Some fish become more active at night. The king fish only bites the hook at night, which means it is this kind of fish. If you drag it later, it will be even more dangerous." The fishing man tried to calm down, holding the oar with both hands, and slowly
Row the boat away from the shore.
"This guy really wants to die." Chen Ge rarely comments on others like this. His water quality is not good. If it were him, he would definitely not go to get the fish float at this time.
He was not afraid of evil spirits, but looking at the undulating dark water, he also felt an indescribable fear.
It was almost an instinctive reaction. There was a voice in his mind reminding him that there was something under the water and that the reservoir was dangerous and it was best not to get close.
The fishing man was getting farther and farther away from Chen Ge and the others, but what was bad was that the fish float drifted farther and farther with the current.
It was only six or seven meters away from the shore at first, but now it has drifted ten meters away.
The fishing man sat with his back to Chen Ge and the others. He put down his worries and rowed hard, and the boat approached the location of the night light drift.
The huge reservoir was eerily quiet. On the shore, Chen Ge and Zhang Dapo held their breaths and looked at the fishing man.
Both of them had seen the fish king bite the hook and knew that there was indeed a monster living in the reservoir.
The night was dark, with no stars or moon visible, the sky was obscured by clouds, and the water surface in the reservoir was also dark. The sky and water surface were like an open mouth, and the fishing man was trying hard to paddle towards the depth of the mouth.
"Almost there." Sitting on the boat, the fishing man stared at the night light not far away. He gritted his teeth and forced himself not to look at the surrounding water.
"Nothing will happen. The fish king is frightened. He should avoid the boat at this time. When the police came to retrieve the body at night, this ghost thing avoided it." The fishing man comforted himself in his heart, and the movements of his hands
Going faster and faster without any delay.
The surroundings were so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the swishing sound of the paddle hitting the water. This sound made the fishing man feel inexplicably irritated.
"The fish float seems to be floating forward. This direction of the water flow is very unfavorable to me, but fortunately, the hemp rope is very long. I just need to get it back before the hemp rope becomes stretched."
One end of the hemp rope is tied to the boat piling, and the other end is tied to the bow of the boat to connect the boat to the shore, just like a safety rope.
Perhaps due to the current, there was always a distance between the man and the fish float.
The boat rowed farther and farther, and Zhang Dapo gradually realized something was wrong: "He is already ten meters ahead of us, but the longest rope in my warehouse is only ten meters. Could it be that he tied several ropes together?"
With doubts, Zhang Dapo reached out and grabbed the hemp rope sunk under the water. He tried to pull it back, but he did not encounter much resistance.
"not good!"
He screamed and quickly pulled the rope back with both hands, only to find that the hemp rope connecting the shore and the boat had been broken at some point!
"Come back quickly! The rope has been bitten off!" Zhang Dapo panicked and shouted to the fishing man.
Chen Ge didn't expect such a change. He looked at the broken hemp rope and saw it was uneven. It didn't look like it had been cut by a knife, but rather like it had been bitten by something.
"It's not easy for the 'Fish King' to be able to bite off the hemp rope in such a short period of time." Chen Ge reached out and touched the edge of the hemp rope. The rope may have been soaked in water for a long time and exuded a faint fishy smell.
He checked the break carefully and found that there were dense tooth marks on the rope near the break.
"It doesn't look like it was bitten by one fish, it looks like it was bitten by many fish at the same time." Chen Ge always felt that the tooth marks looked strange, but he couldn't explain why it was strange.
Zhang Dapo was still calling the fishing man desperately, but the fishing man seemed completely unable to hear him.
"Possessed?"
When Zhang Dapo was in a hurry and had no other choice, the fishing man finally approached the luminous drifter.
"Only two meters left!" The fishing man was sitting with his back to Chen Ge and Zhang Dapo. He did not look back. He only knew that the hemp rope was connected to the boat pile on the shore. When the rope reached the limit, the boat would be roped.
Hold on, now he can continue paddling forward, which means he is no more than ten meters away from the river bank.
"Come back!"
There was a vague sound coming from behind, but the fishing man seemed to be confused. His dead fish eyes were staring at the luminous drift.
There is only one meter left.
He moved his body forward, sat on the bow of the boat, and raised the fishing light.
The light shone on the water, and he found that even at this time, the luminous float was still floating forward, and the direction of the float did not seem to be completely consistent with the direction of the water flow, as if there was something underneath the fish float dragging it forward slowly.
Same.
The fishing man looked at the night light and felt a very ridiculous feeling in his heart.
It was as if the luminous float was deliberately put down by the fish king to catch himself.
With the special fishing float close at hand, the man no longer hesitated and raised the fishing light.
The light penetrates the water, and there is nothing nearby.
"A false alarm."
The man holds a fishing light in one hand and stretches his other hand toward the water.
Just when his hand was about to touch the fish float, the water surface near the boat suddenly undulated greatly.
Immediately afterwards, under the illumination of the fishing light, the man discovered that there was a large shadow floating rapidly below the fish float!
Fish King!
The fishing man Ye Guangbo didn't bother to pick it up and grabbed the harpoon on the boat.
But when he took the harpoon and looked again, the shadow under the water disappeared again.
"Where have you gone?"
Before he could take a breath, the boat shook violently, as if something was trying to overturn the boat.
"Under the boat!"
The fishing man squatted down and lowered his center of gravity, but the fishing lamp placed beside the bed suddenly slipped from the boat and fell into the water.
"Oops!"
The man watched the fishing lantern begin to sink. He was very decisive. After the last light, he stretched out his hand to grab the luminous float, then turned back to the shore and shouted: "Quick! Pull me back!"
When he turned around, he realized that he had run far away from the shore.
There was also a fishing line connected to the bottom of the luminous float in his hand, and the fishing line was covered with fishy-smelling black hair.
