The snail girl calls herself the Dragon Girl, the princess of the Water King, who often sees the orphan fishing, and is very sorry for his previous sinful life, and is kind-hearted and comes to save his life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the poor orphan met Bai Fumei, the life of course got better and better, and he lived in a courtyard with a square head, a loft with a horse, a stilted building on both sides, and a veritable mansion.

Even the barren grassy slope in front of the mansion was turned into a watery terraced rice field overnight, and it became a small landowner.

Then, after the two of them sweated day and night, they gave birth to a doll naturally.

This story is a typical dick silk encountering Bai Fumei, turning over as a serf and singing.

The days are getting better and better, so it has attracted people who like to see it, why can he, a fisherman, take such a beautiful daughter-in-law, live in such a luxurious house, and have such a fertile field?

So one day, the orphan went out with the child, leaving only the snail girl to sleep at home. As the saying goes, sleep like a dragon, which means that if the dragon falls asleep, it will not wake up even if you are windy and thunderous.

When the dragon girl fell asleep, a group of ill-intentioned people who couldn't see orphans living a good life appeared. While Bai Fumei was asleep, she applied chicken blood and duck blood to her mouth, glued chicken feathers and duck feathers to her mouth, and put a lot of chicken feathers and duck feathers under the bed, chicken blood, duck blood, and muscle duck meat......

When the scene was almost faked, a 'well-wisher' went to inform the orphan and said, "Oh, it's terrible! Oh, you're still plowing here, and your mother-in-law is a monster." A lot of chickens and ducks in the village have been stolen and eaten by her, why don't you hurry home and drive her away. When the time comes, even your melon skin will be eaten. ”

The orphan definitely didn't believe it at first, but there were too many people who couldn't stand it, and they all said it, and they also caught it. The orphan was timid, had nothing to say, and was afraid that the chickens and ducks in the village would run out and would really eat people, so he agreed to drive her away.

The dragon girl didn't wake up until dark, and the orphan said directly: "You are a monster, I don't want you anymore, you go by yourself, where did you come from, where do you go back." ”

The dragon girl knows that she has been framed, but no matter how she explains it, the orphan never believes her and wants to get rid of her no matter what. She really had no choice but to leave.

Let's go, the dragon girl hated him for his ruthlessness, and as soon as she jumped into the river, she shouted: "My fields, my houses, my livestock, all go with me!"

When she shouted, the fields and houses were gone, but the straw hut where the orphan had used to be was still there; Chickens, ducks, cows and sheep rushed to the river. The orphan seized only the two horns of the sheep, and the horns were twisted crookedly, but he did not grasp them.

I was not ashamed for several years, but once I returned to the pre-liberation period, the orphans became poor again, not only poor, but this time I couldn't even catch a fish, so I could only take my children to dig up the wasteland and eat turf every day.

Not long after, there was a sudden drought here, which was very serious. The orphan couldn't even dig up the wilderness, and he was so hot and thirsty all day that he couldn't survive, so he could only ask his children to go to the river to find water to drink.

When the child went to the river to fetch water, where was there any water in the river? The child was so young that he was sad and desperate for a while, and he began to cry. At this moment, water plucked out of the cracks in the dry riverbed.

When the child thought of his mother, he became more and more sad, and couldn't help but sing: "

Pong pong puff, my mom is on the water!

Mommy is back, come back and see me!

Funny, my mom is in the water!

Mommy is back, come back and look at me."

Speaking of this, Ji Cailan laughed, he listened to the stories told by the locals, all in dialect, and she retold them as they were.

Tang Scarlet Carp was keenly aware of something unusual from this unfinished story. This kind of myth and story basically entrusts the good wishes of poor people, so the process and ending will not be cups.

Everything else sounded to him as unnutritious. Isn't this the predicament they are facing now? She pressed the doubts in her heart and continued to listen to Ji Cailan's story.

After the child finished singing, the dragon girl really appeared, and saw the skinny child very distressed, combed the child's hair, caught lice, and finally asked the child to take his tears back with a gourd and give it to his father to drink.

The tears of the dragon girl were cold and sweet, and the orphan was suspicious, and the honest and simple child told him about seeing his mother.

After a few years of hard life, the orphan has always missed his wife's goodness, and felt guilty. So he taught the child to continue fetching water tomorrow and find a way to coax his mother home.

The next day, when the child saw that his mother asked for some water, he cried and said, "Mother, I'm so scared to go back alone, you can give me a while." ”

The dragon girl couldn't bear it and sent him away for a while.

The boy cried again and said, "Mother, take me to the foot of the maple tree over there." ”

As soon as the dragon girl sent him to the foot of the maple tree, the orphan who was hiding behind the tree jumped out, hugged her, and vigorously confessed her mistake and begged her to go back.

The dragon girl sighed and said, "I can't go back, there are bad people in your world, and good people can't live in peace." Now, there's another big evil star, and the water is drained, and I can't even stay in the Dragon Palace. ”

The orphan said, "As long as you don't leave me, you will get it wherever you go." ”

When the dragon girl heard this, she cried and said, "My home is almost gone, and I can't go back." If your father and son are really willing to be with me, let's do something good for the people, and we will never be separated from each other. ”

The orphan nodded again and again, and the dragon girl breathed a sigh of relief, and the husband and wife became two willow trees on the riverbank, one in the east and the other in the west, and their children became water birds, flying around on the two willow trees all the year round, crying:

"Squeak East,

Squeaky West,

Who is my Abba,

Who is my grandma,

Squeaky South,

Squeak North,

Abba is here!

Grandma is here!"

The willow tree that the couple turned into locked the water in a radius of 100 miles, making the land fertile and the people living and working in peace and contentment.

The story came to an end here, and Tang Scarlet Carp fell into contemplation, whether the story of the dragon girl is true or false, there is no way to verify, at least there are no so-called water birds on these two willow trees.

"Lord Tang, look. Ji Cailan walked thirty or forty meters along the mountain path between the two willow trees, pointed to an overgrown ravine, and nodded: "Does this look like a river?"

"When you say that, it's a bit imaginative. Tang Scarlet Carp brushed aside the weeds, raised his head and knocked on the trend of the mountain range, and agreed: "The terrain here is low, and the valley in front of it is like the entrance to the river. Could it be that there really used to be a river here, but it was only because of geographical changes that the river was diverted?"

"Possibly. It's just that the situation is special now, otherwise you can check the local county records. ”

"It doesn't matter. Tang Feili smiled bitterly and shook her head, based on her and Ji Cailan's exploration during this time, she basically locked the scope of the drought demon, which was in this nameless barren mountain.

The drought in Gannan came too strangely, and the vast territory and complex terrain cost a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as the national scientific research team mobilized by Xu Zhigao and several reconnaissance satellites, which took several months.

This barren mountain is about 100 kilometers in circumference, and the highest mountain is only 3 or 400 meters.

The drought here is severe, but fortunately it is too inhospitable to live, and two hundred years ago, the people of the last village moved out, leaving only a pile of ruins.

In view of the possibility of encountering the drought demon head-on, Tang Scarlet Carp and Ji Cailan have always been very careful, and the Huaxia Blessing Society led by Xu Zhigao is not allowed to follow at all. The two of them are very bold and bold, and if they really encounter the birth of the drought demon, if they can't eradicate it, they can at least get out of it.

These two abnormal willow trees gave them important clues. They can basically determine that the willow tree must be related to the water monarch at that time, and it is also related to the drought that occurred that year. As for whether it is really the dragon girl turning into a tree, or the beautiful imagination of the people, it doesn't matter.

The original forms of Tang Scarlet Carp and Ji Cai's scales are both aquarium elves, one is a winning fish, the other is an Arowana, and they have a strong affinity and perception for water. The two of them stood separately, each holding the mountain of the trunk with their palms, carefully feeling the direction of the flow of water vapor in the trunk.

In the hearts of the two divine willow trees, there is a continuous stream of water vapor, nourishing the branches and leaves, and the purity of their water vapor is not as pure as the true liquid of Tianshui, but it is very similar. In addition, they can clearly feel that the water vapor emitted from the heart of the tree partially nourishes the tree, and part of it seeps into the ground, extending into the distance along the direction of the ancient river channel.

Following the vague ancient river channel, two small cols were bypassed in succession, and finally a huge discovery was made.

A dilapidated village, the village is built on the mountain, hidden in the bushes of decayed bushes, the ancient river channel is bypassed in front of the village, the village is full of ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, more than half of them collapsed, most of the houses are three-story wood and stone structure of small buildings, the roof is all gray small tiles.

The houses are densely built, cleverly built on topography and artificially created foundations, and the most puzzling thing is that the hundreds of houses are all in an east-west direction, rather than the usual north-south direction.

"There's quirkiness in this village. ”

"I feel it too. ”

Tang Scarlet Carp frowned tightly, this uninhabited village is located in the middle of the canyon, and there is an exit from the east and west. Their location is the east entrance, and it is common sense that the drought in Gannan is so severe that the sun is getting hotter and hotter every day, and this place is certainly no exception. However, from the moment they stood at the entrance, they could clearly feel that the bone-chilling wind ran through the canyon from west to east.

The mountain breeze swept slowly, the withered yellow bushes rattled, and the smell of humus overflowed with the gloomy air current. Between the swaying branches, the outline of the village seemed to sink into a cloud of shadows, appearing and disappearing, becoming extremely strange.

Click.

With a crisp sound, Ji Caiyan gently moved his foot, only to see a white shin bone, which was pressed under the gravel.

"Colored scales, look there, there seems to be tents ......"

Tang Scarlet Carp raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and in the dense forest in front of the village, a corner of the blue tent was faintly exposed. The two of them looked at each other, stepped on the dead tree, and landed next to the tent in the blink of an eye.

It is a common outdoor travel tent, a total of three, in a zigzag section, with traces of a bonfire in the center. Ji Cailan kicked the bonfire and said, "The bonfire has already been cold. ”

With a flick of his hand, the tent lifted a corner, revealing two backpacks placed side by side, as well as a Sony CD player. After the tent was completely lifted, there were two yellow sleeping bags in the middle, and the head of the sleeping bag was littered with hair, and two withered, sauce-colored human heads.

They looked indifferent, and did not feel any discomfort, and opened the other two tents one after another, and the situation was basically the same, a total of five people, all dead in their sleeping bags.

"It should be a don't want to die. Ji Cailan picked out a diary from his backpack, which recorded that five college students with good relationships, three men and two women, met for an expedition last summer and accidentally discovered this ancient village. The rain was pouring that night, and they did not dare to venture into the village, so they camped outside the village, intending to enter the village tomorrow morning.

The diary came to an abrupt end here, and it was clear that none of them had survived until tomorrow.

"Truly the ignorant are fearless. ”

The cause of death of these five people is not apparent from the corpses alone. But it must be inextricably linked to the deserted village not far away.
