"Master, how did you dig out that stone ox? ”

Zheng Shaoqiu sat on the stones on the river beach with his buttocks, and said with a straight face: "Where did you dig it from, put it back again." ”

The excavator master chirped the cigarette in his mouth, didn't look at him, and waved his hand directly: "It's none of your business, go cool down." ”

At this moment, a man in his thirties walked over, with a fat face, a big belly, and a briefcase under his armpit.

"Who are you, get out of here, don't get in the way. ”

Zheng Shaoqiu glanced at him: "You are in charge of cleaning up the river?"

The fat man nodded when he heard this, with an impatient look on his face: "We are an outsourcing company, and we are in charge of this." ”

"What are you going to do with the stone cow?" Zheng Shaoqiu stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Stone Ox?"

The fat man raised his eyebrows, and the fat on his face trembled.

He circled around the big rock on the field twice, rubbed his chin, and sighed twice: "Hey, you really look like a stone ox when you say this, it's quite big, rare, rare." ”

After a pause, he lit a cigarette and took two puffs: "What else can I do, of course, I will wait for the garbage truck to come and take it away." ”

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and muttered two sentences dissatisfiedly: "Damn, it's all at this point, why can't those people come over, eat dry rice!"

Zheng Shaoqiu stood up, didn't leave in a hurry, looked at Xu Xu and said directly: "I can't eat today, you just buy some and pack it, let's go back and eat." ”

After a pause, he added: "Buy a pack of cigarettes and come back." ”

Although he was a little puzzled, he still didn't say anything, and turned around and left.

Ten minutes later......

The fat man kicked out a puddle of dirt and scolded and shouted, "Stop working, stop working!"

"Damn, the dredging garbage truck is out of order, and I can't get over!"

"If you don't have an accident in the morning, you won't have an accident in the evening, but if something happens at this time, Lao Tzu still wants to go home early for dinner!"

As soon as the words fell, the excavator stopped moving, and drove directly to the river beach.

Zheng Shaoqiu quietly walked a few steps forward, came to the fat man's side, handed a cigarette, and said, "Boss, since the stone cow can't be dug away, let me deal with it." ”

After a pause, he grinned: "My uncle just eats rags, not far from here." ”

The fat man looked at him twice, and did not hurry to speak, but took the cigarette and held it in his hand.

Seeing this, Zheng Shaoqiu hurriedly took out a lighter and lit it, and then stuffed the cigarette he was allowed to bring back into the other party's pocket.

"One thousand, no two prices. ”

"You contact the trailer yourself, I'm not responsible. ”

The fat man squinted his small bean-sized eyes and said in a man's voice.

"Good. ”

Zheng Shaoqiu nodded hurriedly and didn't say anything more.

An hour and a half later......

There is a stone ox in the courtyard of Nuoda, kneeling on the ground, the image is full, lifelike, although the knife work is shallow, but there is a faint charm.

The slightly pointed head has a protrusion, the cheeks are painted with cloud patterns, the sides of the body are also painted with auspicious cloud-like patterns of different sizes, the four feet are carved with hooves, and the buttocks and tail are also angular.

The whole body is mottled, and the years have left too many traces.

In addition, there are several clearly visible scratches on the back of its lower body, which are left by the gear of the excavator, which looks a little shocking.

It is about 2.5 meters long and almost 90 centimeters wide, and if it is connected to the base, it is estimated to be about 1.2 meters.

On the threshold, Xu Xu and Zheng Shaoqiu sat on the drum stool of Huanghuali, holding a lunch box in their hands, eating in the wind.

"What do you do when you buy this stone ox for a thousand yuan, it's all stones, and it also occupies space. ”

Permission burped, pulled a crumpled cigarette roll from his pocket, and smoked.

Zheng Shaoqiu put down the chopsticks in his hand, took out a piece of paper and wiped his mouth, and then said: "This is not a stone cow, it is a stone rhino, but it looks a little similar on the outside." ”

"Stone rhinoceros?"

Xu Xu stood up, circled around twice, and sighed twice: "I said that this cow looks weird, and it is not a cow at all." ”

After a pause, he hugged his shoulders again and took a few steps back: "What is this thing for?"

Zheng Shaoqiu said lightly: "It is recorded in "Huayang Guozhi Shu Zhi": King Qin Xiaowen took Li Bing as the Shu guard...... Make five stone rhinoceros to be disgusted with water spirits. ”

"Shu Ben Wang Ji" records that the river is harmful, Li Bing made five stone rhinos, two in the house, one under the city bridge, and two in the water, because the stone rhino is also. ”

Seeing that the other party still didn't understand, he added: "To put it simply, it is used to control water." ”

At first, he was still confused, but in the end, he suddenly realized that he smiled and said, "This thing can cure water? ”

As he spoke, he handed Zheng Shaoqiu a cigarette.

"Hoo ......"

The white smoke rose up, and Zheng Shaoqiu's face was like a waterfall that had been poured inverted, and it was not real.

"The origin of the stone rhino town water in the old folklore, based on the special beliefs of the ancients, felt that the rhinoceros had a water-dividing ability, so it was called the spirit rhino. ”

"Because the main character of the rhinoceros is on its nose, when it swims in the water, if it is fast enough, the waves will clearly separate to the sides, as if it is actively splitting the waves. ”

"Taiping Yulan" volume 890 "Nanyue Chronicles" said: There is a big rhino in the huge sea, and there is light in and out of it, and the water is open for it. ”

Ge Hong's "Hug Pu Zi Deng" even said: It is really more than three inches of rhino horns, carved as a fish, and it is used to enter the water, and the water is often opened by people. Three feet square, you can get qi and breathe in the water. ”

"During the Three Kingdoms, Wu Guowan Zhen's "Nanzhou Foreign Object Chronicles" said more mysteriously: the rhino has a special god, the horn has light, the day is like a horn, the night is dark, the light comes out of the middle, and the hope is like a torch. If you want to know that this horn is strange, put it in the grass, and the birds and beasts are all shocked. ”。

Therefore, it is very natural for the stone rhinoceros to stand by the river to control the water. ”

After a pause, Zheng Shaoqiu took a deep breath, and said unhurriedly: "There is also a legend that as long as the rhinoceros horn is lit, you can see the cow ghost and snake god in the water." ”

Hearing this, Xu suddenly felt a chill on his back, and quickly shrunk his neck and sat on the threshold.

Zheng Shaoqiu's eyes were a little distracted, and he muttered a few words: "Buried for a thousand years, the water god beast." ”

At this moment, a cat meow came from the bushes, followed by a black shadow rushing out, and the next moment it came directly in front of the permit.

"Wow, it's so punctual every time. ”

Xu Xu seemed to be very familiar with the cat, and directly poured the remaining rice from the lunch box on the ground.

The orange kitten was skinny, its hair was dull and glued, and when it smelled the fragrance, it whimpered and gobbled it up.

Permission's gaze softened, and the grit lines on his face were not so stiff.
