Yuanjiang City, five kilometers southeast.

There is a large lake here, Hunan Province, Zi, Yuan, Li four water confluence injection, it belongs to the Dongting Lake water system, because of the location in the south, so it is called South Dongting.

It is a typical wetland characteristic, flooded lakes, water falling into continents, rivers in the territory, small islands, and hundreds of lakes and islands scattered across the vast lake.

It was dusk, the sun was shining, the waves were sparkling, and the water surface was swaying far away with gold marks, startling the two wild ducks. The wild duck flapped its wings, and before it could fly away, it was eaten by a big fish that suddenly burst out.

Crash!

The big fish fell back into the water, calm and calm, as if nothing had happened. If you don't know about it, you will think it's a good place with beautiful scenery.

"Sumire, you wait for me!"

A coquettish cry broke the silence, and two figures suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, thin and tall, one in front and one behind, as fast as walking on the ground.

"Don't wait, don't wait, it's so fun for me to come out by myself, I have to take you with me!"

Xiao Jin Balabala ran forward, Long Qiu was not angry, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy, this is the first time we go out together." ”

"Hehe, you're happy all day!"

She pouted, her steps non-stopping, but slowly she was caught up.

It is said that the two of them have been out for a month, and in addition to collecting the recipe of Liuyi mud, they also have to find the materials for the furnace body. When I came to the South Dongting, I was looking for one of them.

They leaped over the wide lake and soon reached a sandbar in the southwest corner. This sandbar is crescent-shaped, half-hugging the lake, and there is a similar island opposite, the two are relatively close, cutting off the large lake and enclosing a deep circular pond.

"The two islands hug each other, located in the southwest, the water is a ring, and there are tall trees on the continent, which is what Yu Jian said. ”

Xiao Jin carefully identified and made sure that it was correct.

Long Qiu also took a look and said, "That thing is usually in the water, how can we find it?

"That's boring, of course I'll go down and find it. ”

She put away the jade slip and said, "I'll go down, you wait on the shore." ”

"I'm going too!"

"Oh, you'll have to stay on top. ”

"I don't, you just want to play down there by yourself!"

"Tsk!"

Xiao Jin was depressed, the child was getting more and more refined, so she had to say, "Okay, let's do it together." ”

After all, they are like two mermaids, plopping into the water at the same time, surrounded by aura, and the water vapor does not touch at all.

The bottom of the lake was quite muddy, and there were long aquatic plants everywhere, and the tufts floated with the waves, like the hair of ghosts. There are also many unknown fish, shrimp and crabs swimming around, occasionally skimming a shadow, but it is a large herbivorous turtle.

"Wow, this crab is so big, it's ready for dinner. ”

Xiao Jin grabbed an unlucky crab casually, played with the crab claws twice, put it in the storage bag, and then went to catch the fish vigorously.

"Don't play, it's important to get down to business!"

Long Qiu grabbed her arm and used his divine sense to communicate helplessly.

"It's important to get down to business, it's important to eat, don't make noise, don't make noise!"

Xiao Jin broke away from the other party, and swam to a clump of aquatic plants, brushing aside the soft blades of grass, and immediately rejoiced, there were shrimp spawning in it, and shrimp roe was a good thing!

She happily went to fetch it, and suddenly her face changed, and her whole body sank down as if she had been pulled by someone.

"Uh-huh......"

She waved her arms wildly, her eyes widened, her muscles twisted in horror.

"Sumire!"

Long Qiu saw her being dragged into the aquatic weeds, scared to death, and directly summoned the Qingping Sword, the blue light flashed, boom!

Oh yes, half of the bottom of the lake has been split.

"Damn, you've murdered your husband!"

Xiao Jin swished out her head against the green blades of grass and yelled at her.

"You!"

Long Qiu saw that the girl was carrying a water monster, but there was no, so he immediately reacted, the drama spirit, the drama spirit!

The girl couldn't help but be a little angry, ignored it, and swam up by herself.

"Uh......"

Xiao Jin grinned and followed in a gray manner.

Xiaoqiu returned to the sandbar and didn't say a word, and the goods coaxed him all kinds of ways: "Oh, I teased you just now, I didn't mean to." ”

"Don't be angry, I'm wrong, okay?"

“……”

Long Qiu just ignored it, Xiao Jin rolled her eyes, and said, "Okay, I promise not to make trouble in the future, come on!"

She forcibly pulled the other party and changed the subject: "Look, this is the water monkey, haven't you seen it?"

"Yikes!"

Long Qiu glanced at it and was instantly attracted to attention.

Water monkeys have legends everywhere, but whether they exist or not is always uncertain. Now that the environment has changed, this kind of ghost with a folk foundation has come out.

The thing was two feet tall and thin, like a child of several years old. He has a human-like ape-like face and a foul smell and is covered in mucus.

The hands and feet are like people, but they are particularly slender, and they all have three toes. He has stray hair and a disc-shaped depression in the center of his forehead. What's special is the back, which is actually carrying a tortoise shell.

It curled up on the ground, shivering, and looked at the two of them with a spiritual gaze.

“……”

Xiao Jin circled around twice and said, "If it weren't too ugly, I would really like to raise a few." Yu Jian said to take a finger bone to replace the water demon scale armor, well, it is the finger. ”

Long Qiu looked at the fingers, there were three, the left and right were shorter, and the middle was longer, and asked, "Shall we take that section?"

"I don't understand this, come, I'll teach you!"

The goods pointed out the virtue of the country and said: "Zi said, three short and one long are the longest, and three long and one short are the longest, and the quasi-guarantee is right." ”

Long Qiu sounded very awkward, and asked, "Why are they all chosen?"

"It's not easy to use!"

As she spoke, she grabbed her middle finger and slammed it hard.

"Wow!"

The water monkey screamed in pain, looking more and more pitiful.

"Why don't you pretend to be quails here, you're so blood-sucking, think I don't know?"

Quack!

She broke another phalange, sealed the other's limbs, and kicked it back. After a while, the corpse floated up, causing a school of scavenging fish to circle around.

"Alright, let's go!"

It's also strange to say, if Long Qiu comes out by himself, he has to be responsible, he has to be wise and wise, but when he comes out with others, he will unconsciously become dependent - Xu is used to being spoiled.

The two completed their mission and immediately returned to Yuanjiang City, five kilometers away.

Yuanjiang is a county-level city, with a population of more than 700,000 people, and the place is not small.

There is a river through the city, divided into two, originally there were embankments on the banks of the river, but now the water surface has expanded, has flooded the embankment, poured into the block, and approached the main city.

They found a barbecue restaurant at random, borrowed the charcoal stove left behind, poured out a table of aquatic products, and began to roast in a mess.

"Brother is in retreat, I don't know what's going on?" Long Qiu took a sip of wine, very concerned.

"Mind him, he'll be fine. "Sumire took a crab.

"It's been almost a year since my sister left, and the news rarely returns ......"

"You are doing your daughter's life and your mother's heart. People have a male protagonist and a female protagonist, with a halo and good luck, so I can worry about you and me?"

She dragged another fish and said as she gnawed: "But it's April, it's time to plant crops over there, right? Let's set aside a large piece of land, and the township entrepreneurs who are helping the poor are sitting down." ”

"It's also a good thing to have more grain! This year, if the climate is good, if it is neither cold nor hot, there will definitely be a bumper harvest. ”

"Hmm? Xiao Jin paused.

"There will be a good harvest. ”

"No, the previous one. ”

"It's not cold or hot. "Long Qiu doesn't understand.

"Neither cold nor hot......"

Xiao Jin blinked, she felt that something was wrong from the time she arrived in Yuanjiang City, and finally reacted at this moment.

"According to the situation of previous years, Hunan Province should have heated up a long time ago, how can it be cool?"

She simply put down the sign, ran out of the door, jumped onto the high-rise building and looked at the sky, only to see a dark cloud in the distance, which was slowly spreading to this side.

"Grandma, it's going to rain!"

(Ahh
