In the evening, the enthusiastic Tuvan uncle told us not to rush away, because the autumn night in Xinjiang is particularly cold, the weather is cold, and we eat all kinds of delicious Xinjiang fruits around the steaming stove.

Everyone continued to talk about the dragon gate array, talking around the fireplace, the red flames reflected everyone's smiling faces, it seemed so warm and beautiful, people want to be intoxicated in such a beautiful atmosphere all the time, quietly enjoy all the peace and tranquility under the moment, say goodbye to those sinister lives of fighting and killing, bravely entering the rivers and lakes, Hu Jiaojiao said to the uncle curiously:" By the way, I heard that there are very terrible water monsters in the Kanas Lake here, and everyone is spreading the word that they are wearing ten, ten and hundred, and they are all wearing boiling water, whether this is true or not, you live next to this lake every day, you must know very well, have you seen what these water monsters look like?"

The uncle said thoughtfully: "This thing, our ancestors all said that this thing is a sacred object in the lake and protects this lake, but I have never seen them, but I have heard other villagers talk about it." It is said that once, a herdsman in our village drove a dozen horses to the Kanas Lake to graze, as if the weather was very good that day, the sun was shining warmly, and a dozen horses were either chewing grass sweetly, or running to the lake to drink water leisurely, so the villager saw that the horses were eating grass and eating very leisurely, and he was also a little tired from the sun, and was ready to take a nap and take a nap, thinking that these horses would not run too far, so the shepherd lay down peacefully on a meadow far away from the lake, and slowly fell asleep in the intoxicating aroma, and slept beautifully。 Who knew that when he woke up a great time, the large herd of horses that was still in front of him just now was gone, and he hurried to the lake to take a look, but the scene before him surprised him - he saw that the lake was dyed blood-red, and the shore was empty and there were only some messy horseshoe prints, and the frightened shepherd did not dare to stay by the lake for a long time, and hurried back home.

Later, two brave hunters from the village lurked in the grass by the Kanas Lake with shotguns to see what monsters were there. The two waited for a short time, only to see several huge monsters appear, and the lake monster set off a strong water wave, and the sound was like the beginning of the rising tide. Immediately, the lake was stirred into waves, and the eyes were full of dazzling red light. A hunter raised his gun and pulled the trigger on the nearest monster from the shore, and with a "bang" of gunshot, the monster suddenly disappeared, and the lake immediately set off a frenzy of waves and fog. When the wind and waves calmed down, there was no trace of these two hunters, and there was no trace of them, and it was estimated that those monsters were taken off the water, and their lives were whimpering. So even if there are water monsters, don't touch them, or you'll die. ”

The uncle's lover also came over with great interest and said: "Yes, this is really dressed like a god, legend has it that there is a lake monster in Kanas Lake, and when the local Tuvan people graze cattle, sheep, horses, and camels go to the lake to drink, they are often dragged into the lake to make snacks." Lake monsters often appear at dawn or dusk, and no one has ever seen what they look like. When the two herdsmen in the village, Miti and Bakken, were looking for livestock by the lake, they saw a very large thing in a bay, and the tail that was exposed to the water was as big as the felt of the felt house, and there was an old man named Wuxun in the village, when he crossed the Hanas Lake by logging, in the center of the lake, he found that there was a strange thing in the water more than one meter deep under the logging, and the slightly exposed half of the eye was the size of a washbasin, and he was very frightened at that time, so he pretended to lie motionless and let it drift, and the monster thought it was a knotted wood, and did not chase him, and he was scattered for about ten minutes before he dared to get up, and when he looked up, the monster was gone, rightWhen he had just come down from the mountain, he suddenly saw a floating object on the surface of the lake, which was about four or five hundred meters away from the boat, and the preliminary judgment was twice the length of the boat. He saw that the object had only a black back, and it had been moving slowly, and it was gradually becoming difficult to see because it was getting late.

It is said that there is a Tuva herdsman in our village who went to a relative's house to drink wine, and when he returned home, it was nearly dusk, passing by Kanas Lake, he dismounted and turned around and rushed to the mountains and forests, and suddenly heard a "bang" behind him, and hurriedly turned around, and found that his horse was gone, and he vaguely saw a pair of cold big eyes like copper lamps slowly sinking into the lake. He was so frightened that he was half awake, and hurriedly ran to the village, shouting as he ran: "The lake monster has eaten my horse!" When the villagers heard this, they organized themselves and made a big hook, using a cow as bait, and braiding a rope with a cowhide band, and twenty horses were attached to the other end of the rope. After waiting day after day, on the third day, there was finally movement, and at the sound of an order, twenty horses desperately pulled up, and the twenty horses who were tired foamed at the mouth and broke the cowhide rope, but they did not even see the slightest shadow of the lake monster. ”

The old man's son said disapprerovingly, "But this Kanas Lake is big and deep, and the things in it are very big, and we are not used to seeing them, and the lake is deep, and there is nothing in it, but the water monster is not something that can be seen by a person, people are the spirits of all things, and I think in fact they are also afraid of people, so there are generally few people who see them." ”
