Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

Chapter 88

"Cat, are you really not dizzy?"

"I'm not dizzy anymore, I'm not dizzy anymore, sister-in-law Xiuxiu's medicine is really good. After sitting on the boat for so long, I don't feel seasick at all now!" Zhan Zhao stood on the deck, took a deep breath of the fresh sea breeze, and thought about waiting. I must ask sister-in-law Xiuxiu for more seasickness medicine later, so as not to make a fool of myself in front of this mouse, it is so embarrassing.

Fourth Master Jiang sat on the bow with his legs crossed, looked back at the cat and the mouse on the deck and said, "You two too, don't enjoy the empty island, but go to Laoshizi Island It’s not too tiring to check the sea monster.”

Zhan Zhao said: "Fourth Lord, according to sister-in-law Xiuxiu, the sea monster is probably a person. Since you have deduced the origin of the sea monster based on the direction of the sea water and the wind, we must go and see it. The sea monster died before it died. He asked us for help and said, 'Wuhe harmed me', in case there are still victims like him, how can we sit idly by!"

Fourth Master Jiang thought for a while, and said: "That's right. This sea area is the territory of our empty island. It is really necessary to investigate such weird things, otherwise it will spread the reputation of our Five Rats."

Bai Yutang said: "Fourth brother, are you sure that monster came from an uninhabited island?"

The white mist looming not far from the sea level, Jiang Siye sighed and said: "Actually, he is not called Uninhabited Island. He used to have a name called 'Wei Dao', and there was a small village on the island called Weijia Village. It was originally a paradise-like existence, but..."

Seeing Fourth Master Jiang frown and pause, Zhan Zhao asked curiously, "It's just what?"

Fourth Master Jiang put his legs away, sat up straight, and said still frowning: "It's just that I heard that about 30 years ago, a strange baby was born in Naweijia Village. Yes, there are fewer and fewer people on the island, and in the end, there is no one left..."

"No, it means they all moved away from Ojima?"

Fourth Master Jiang shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, no one has ever seen the people from Wei Dao again. At that time, some people said that they disappeared from the world, and some people said that the whole village died... But these are all It was a legend ten years ago, and now basically no one knows it, let alone the truth, and this tail island is located in a remote place, and it is covered by fog all year round. I can't find this place! Over time, this original Taoyuan-like Oshima Island has become a desolate and uninhabited island in your mouth..."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Does Fourth Master know what kind of strange method that strange baby is?"

"I really don't know, it's unlucky anyway... It is said that the strange baby frightened several people to death as soon as it was born, and the head of Weijia Village directly ordered the village to be closed..."

Bai Yutang said: "It's also because you believe in these strange things."

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Fourth Master Jiang said, "It's not a question of whether you believe it or not. A few years ago, I encountered a storm while sailing and happened to be close to Wei Island. In order to avoid the storm, I ordered everyone to go to the island to hide for a while. But as soon as you go to the island, you feel uncomfortable. It is an empty island, but you feel that there are countless eyes staring at you. I thought there was someone on the island, so I took a few people to the island to see I went around and found nothing, only a dilapidated uninhabited village... But the feeling on the island was really bad. Anyway, when I saw that the storm had subsided, I immediately asked everyone to leave Oshima and come back. I didn’t have the nerve to mention this to you afterwards, for fear that the third child would laugh at me for being timid.”

Bai Yutang said indifferently: "If you really said it, Third Brother will definitely laugh at you."

"I knew you brat wouldn't believe it," Fourth Master Jiang stood up, pointing at the fog in front of him and said, "Wait and see, there is Wei Island in front of you, and when you get to the island, you will understand what I said is true. "

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked in the direction of Fourth Master Jiang's finger, and saw a shape that looked like an island but not an island in the mist, and the surrounding air suddenly became cold for some reason.

Zhan Zhao took two deep breaths, looked at the unknown island, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of depression and irritability.

After walking for another half an hour, everyone could already clearly see the outline of Wei Dao. The sky turned black all of a sudden, and occasionally a few sharp lightning bolts appeared in the dark clouds, like horned dragons flickering frequently, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly chilled.

"The weather at sea is always like this, and it's probably another rainstorm." Fourth Master Jiang looked at the island not far away, and said, "I'll go have a drink first."

Bai Yutang said bluntly, "Courage?"

The corner of Jiang Siye's mouth twitched: "How dare you be so cowardly, drink some wine to warm up, okay?! Hey, would you like to have a sip of that kitten too?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Fourth Master, but to be honest, this island really gives people a bad feeling."

Jiang Fourth Master looked at Bai Yutang, and his face showed that a kitten is the expression of my confidant.

Bai Yutang said indifferently: "Mao'er, do you know Yun Chuizhen?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, and said: "In the "Fenghou Eight Formation Art of War Diagram" developed by Huangdi and Fenghou, the Yunchui Formation is a combination of eight formations, 24 formations, and the six formations, which are the first to practice martial arts. Everyone knows it."

Bai Yutang smiled and said: "The gate of the master of the Yunchui Formation is the gate of the great evil. The land in the northeast is the home of Gen, and the Gen is the mountain, and the mountains and rivers come out of the clouds, which is the Cloud Formation."

Zhan Zhao said: "Is there any relationship between this Cloud Chui Formation and the Wei Island we are going to?"

Bai Yutang pointed to the surroundings, and then said: "Look at the surrounding sea area and the location of Wei Island, the clouds attached to the ground are invisible at first, and then they become flying birds, and then they take shape..."

Zhan Zhao followed the direction pointed by Bai Yutang, stunned for a while, and said uncertainly, "You mean, this is a naturally formed cloud formation? Can formations be formed at sea?"

Bai Yutang smiled and said, "Why not?"

Zhan Zhao still looked surprised: "It's amazing, so the reason why we feel unwell is because of this fierce battle?"

"That's true."

"It's okay to be a mouse, you've seen it all!"

Seeing that Zhan Zhao didn't seem to know that Bai Yutang was good at shielding armor, Fourth Master Jiang wanted to help Bai Yutang take credit: "Little Zhan, I'm not bragging, our fifth son..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang gave him a sideways look.

"what?"

Fourth Master Jiang fell silent for a moment, laughed a few times in embarrassment, and said, "Our fifth son has been smart since he was a child, smart haha...haha..."

Although I knew the reason for everyone's discomfort, the strong sense of discomfort still existed. As we got closer to the island, the dense dark clouds suddenly rolled up. After a while, heavy rain poured down, and everyone had to go back to the cabin to hide from the rain. , When they landed, they found that the rain would not stop for a while, so several people discussed it, and except Bai Yutang, they all agreed to go ashore in the rain.

No way, because of the cat, Bai Wuye, who loves cleanliness, had to compromise and go ashore.

Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, and Fourth Master Jiang brought a dozen of his men. They all put on coir raincoats and set foot on the shore of Weidao. As soon as they landed, the thunderstorm seemed to be getting worse. Bai Yutang frowned, wishing he could turn around immediately Just go back to the boat.

Think about it or forget it, you will be laughed at by that cat.

"Everyone follow me! Let's go to Weijia Village first!" The rain was so loud that Fourth Master Jiang had no choice but to yell at the top of his throat.

The echoes of the crowd were drowned in the rain. Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang who had written "I'm very upset" all over his face, and was about to say something when suddenly, a figure seemed to flash across the woods on the bank.

However, before he could take a closer look, all the traces were covered by heavy rain.

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips, not sure if what he just saw was an animal or a human figure...

Or, just dizzy?

Before he thought about it, he saw that everyone had already walked a long way in front of him, even the reluctant Bai Yutang walked in front of him, Zhan Zhao hurriedly followed the crowd.

If it's an animal, it feels a little too big, but if it's a human, the speed is weirdly fast...

Just as he was thinking about it, he realized that someone had patted his shoulder. Zhan Zhao came back to his senses, and saw Bai Yutang pointing to the front, and then slowly mouthed to himself: "Be careful."

Zhan Zhao understood that Bai Yutang must have discovered something, but the sound of the rain was too loud to explain, although there were only two words, he already knew it in his heart.

The legendary deserted village appeared in front of my eyes. It could be seen that it had been uninhabited for a long time, dilapidated, and cold. Standing at the gate of the deserted village, imagining how it was like in the past, and comparing it with the desolate scene now, I felt a chilling feeling.

Simply because the village is not big, a few people decided to investigate the situation of the village first. After the troops were divided into several groups, Zhan Zhao brought a few subordinates from the empty island and began to inspect the houses one by one. Basically, they found all the daily life The supplies are all there, but they are all covered with thick dust, and the scene inside the house does not look like the whole village has been relocated. Zhan Zhao thought about it, and slowly wiped the dust away with his hands. Searching for traces, they followed Zhan Zhao's example and wiped away the dust around them.

There are several houses in a row, but the expected traces are not found. Zhan Zhao ruled out the possibility of massacring the village, and he couldn't find the connection between the sea monster and Weijia Village. He walked out of the house at a loss, and saw Bai Yutang in the village. Walking back and forth, as if he was looking for something, Zhan Zhao was about to go up and ask, when suddenly he heard Fourth Master Jiang shouting in the heavy rain:

"Who is there?!"
