"These damn snakes, why do they always pester Xiao Ding?" the fat man cursed in a low voice.
"So do we still have to cross the river next?" the fat man asked, looking at the tent.
I was also a little hesitant and glanced at the two of them, but when I thought of Xiao Ding, I didn't know when he would wake up. After thinking about it, I decided that we should cross the woods first. Maybe Xiao Ding would wake up on the way, and if Xiao Ding didn't wake up, none of us could guarantee how long we would stay here.
I nodded and said to Fatty and the others, "Let's go to the woods over there. After all, we don't know when Xiao Ding will wake up in this place. How about this, I'll carry Xiao Ding, and then we'll cross it first."
When the fat man heard what I said, he thought it made sense and nodded, agreeing with my opinion. We quickly packed the tent, backpack and other things, and I carried Xiao Ding on my back.
"Fatty, you find the back of Jack Zhou in front, I'll lead Xiao Ding to walk in the middle, and then Fatty, you use a stick to test the depth of the water first to see if there is any place that is too deep." I said to Fatty based on my past experience.
I don't know where the fat man found a stick from, which was about two meters tall. He just stuck it into the water and found that the water was less than 0.5 meters deep. The fat man walked down with a look of joy on his face. I looked at him with fear, not knowing whether I should let the fat man walk in front.
"Fatty, be careful, don't be too anxious, and think carefully before you proceed!" While carrying Xiao Ding on my back, I was also worried about Fatty's safety. Suddenly, I felt like I was taking a risk with a group of problem teenagers. Maybe I was the biggest problem teenager, I thought to myself to entertain myself.
After a night, I don't know how Jack communicated with Fatty, but Fatty looked much better when he looked at me today, and he wasn't as angry about what I said as he was last night.
The fat man didn't even turn his head, and said with a strong joy in his mouth: "I know, you don't need me to tell you, I will pay attention!"
However, the fat man's behavior did not slow down at all, and his movements were still as vigorous as ever.
I shook my head and followed the fat man. The water was only about waist-deep. I tried to lift Xiao Ding up on my back to reduce his exposure to the water, but due to my height, Xiao Ding's feet were still submerged.
Just when I was halfway through the message, I suddenly felt a force pulling Xiao Ding. I thought it was Jack pulling Xiao Ding, so I quickly said to Jack, "Jack, don't pull Xiao Ding, it's very heavy."
Then an accident happened. Jack said to me, "I don't have his little Ding. Did you hook Xiao Ding's foot, or put something on Xiao Ding's foot?" Last night, Jack suddenly seemed to realize something and put his head into the water.
It was only at this time that we all realized that there was something underneath the message, but it seemed too late.
The fat man was cooking. When we said that, he turned around and saw Jack squatting in the water. He quickly came closer to me and pulled Xiao Ding and me.
It wasn't long before I saw Jack stand up completely, with a strange look on his face as he said, "I didn't see anything hooking Xiao Ding's hand. Are you sure you didn't feel it?"
However, I can be sure that my feeling just now was not wrong. There really was someone sitting there pulling Xiao Ding down, but the moment Jack got into the water, the force seemed to disappear.
The European and American heads suddenly became hot, and looking at Jack, they said, "I'm sure I didn't feel it just now, but the force seemed to disappear when you went into the water, but when you stood up just now, the force came out again, just like now."
"Hurry, I can't keep steady anymore!"
I was in a panic because I felt Xiao Ding Zhengyi sliding down even faster than before. I felt like I was going to fall backwards. At this time, Fatty and Jack also noticed this phenomenon, steadied my body and brought me forward.
This was the first time that all of us worked together. Fatty and Jack pulled me, and at the same time, they pulled Xiao Ding's body, pulling him up with all their might, but his feet just couldn't get out of the water. Fatty Jack felt that pulling me forward was as heavy as pulling a cow.
"Damn it, what's that thing down there? Why can I feel the force even though I didn't see you?" The fat man was pulling me, and he felt like he was using a lot of strength. Sweat was pouring out, and he said these words angrily.
I don’t know if he feels that way, but even I think the things under the water are weird.
Jack and Fatty's faces were already red. I felt like a mark might have been left on my back, but we had no choice but to move forward desperately. Fortunately, as we moved slowly, we had already walked two-thirds of the way out, and only one-third was left to reach the finish line.
At this time, Jack suddenly said: "Maybe I know what is down there. It might be the water ghost from before!"
The word "water ghost" made all of us look serious, because we all knew that the water ghost wanted to exchange life for life. He was dragging Xiao Ding and wanted Xiao Ding's life in exchange for his own survival, so we held Xiao Ding even tighter and tried to move forward, but I don't know why, when Jack said this, I felt like my body was sinking.
"No, I feel like I can't hold on any longer. My knees are too heavy." I said with difficulty, feeling like I could hardly breathe.
"No, you have to hold on! Do you want to watch Xiao Ding die like this?" The fat man said angrily. It seemed that my words stimulated his potential, making his strength suddenly increase a lot. He pulled me higher and reduced the weight of Xiao Ding on me.
I immediately took this opportunity to take Xiao Ding a few more steps forward.
Probably because it slowly began to decrease again, when Xiao Ding and I took a few more steps, we both noticed that there was a black mark on Xiao Ding's foot, which was clearly the trace of a water ghost grabbing it.
"It seems that we are really haunted by a water ghost!" Jack said seriously.
"It seems we have to find a way to get ashore!"
Suddenly, Jack's mind raced, and he said to us, "Wait a moment, Fatty. Hold on to those two. I'll go upstairs and light the fire and come down right away."
We didn't know what Jack was going to do, but we could only pin our hopes on him. After all, the water ghost would become more and more violent as he got closer to the shore, increasing the force with which he would pull us into the water. By the time we were about to reach the shore, he would become furious and drag the three of us in at the same time in a rage.
