"Yes, it is said that in the early years, there were also people from the villages near the lake who saw the black shadow of a suspected water monster in the lake. This time, we're going to inspect the place where the fisherman found the monster. ”

Zhang Qingyang knew in his heart that if there was really a water monster, maybe there would be a battle in the lake. He looked at the Titan in the bag with some concern, and he didn't know if it would water.

Sad, why do you have to fight in an unfavorable environment when you participate in a mission for the first time.

The three of them came to the lake in a car, and there were about two dozen fishermen, looking anxious, looking like they had been waiting for a long time.

When the fishermen saw Zhang Qingyang, they were obviously stunned.

"Such a dangerous thing, why do you still have a child. One of the fishermen muttered unpleasantly.

The two patrolmen glanced at a young man in the crowd with a strong dissatisfaction on his face.

Patrolling Lao Huang said loudly: "This Lord Zhang Qingyang Zhang looks young, but he is a Dragon Emblem warrior. ”

More than two dozen fishermen looked at him blankly, and none of them showed a trace of the shocked expression he had imagined.

He sighed, knowing that the fishermen were uninformed. The range of activities every day is their own village and this big lake, and I am afraid that I have not been to the city a few times, let alone heard of the Dragon Emblem Warriors.

He glanced at the crowd and said, "The Dragon Emblem Warriors are all people with extraordinary powers, and if we find out that it is a water monster that is causing trouble, we need the Dragon Emblem Warriors to protect us." ”

An old man with bronzed skin among the fishermen came out and said, "Please also invite this dragon...... Lord Longhui Warrior forgiveness, we are all a group of fishermen, usually fishing, and have little knowledge. ”

The old man looked to be in his sixties, with a weather-beaten face.

"Uncle doesn't need to be like this, this trip is still mainly with you. Zhang Qingyang looked embarrassed, where did he need the other party to compensate for any crime, "Let's hurry up and carry out the task." ”

Zhang Qingyang looked at the group of people on the other side with swords, harpoons and fishing nets, and a few boats parked on the lake, obviously ready.

Lao Xu and Lao Huang glanced at each other, and also said loudly: "Old grandson, don't make these false courtesies, let's hurry up and get on the boat to do things." ”

More than 20 fishermen waited for a long time, and they were eager to move quickly.

After a while, more than twenty people divided into four boats and drove out on the lake.

Zhang Qingyang and the two patrolmen were standing on Lao Suntou's boat.

The wind and waves on the lake are calm, and the boats move silently, and the sparkling water waves swing in both directions.

The fresh leaves of the aquatic plants on the surface of the lake sway in the breeze, and from time to time there are waterfowl on the surface.

Lao Huang and Lao Xu stood at the bow of the boat and the other at the stern, scanning the lake, trying to find some clues.

"What's the steam? Lao Huang, who was standing at the bow of the boat, suddenly asked.

Old Sun Tou leaned over and explained: "Lord Huang, our lake is called Qizhou Lake, just now we were in the outer ring of the lake, and now we are driving towards the interior of the lake, so the water vapor on the lake is gradually increasing. ”

The water vapor on the surface of the lake is getting thicker, and the field of vision is limited, and you can still see it relatively clearly within seventy or eighty meters, and it is blurry further away.

After a while, Lao Xu walked over from the stern of the boat and said, "Did you see anything?"

Lao Huang shook his head and said, "The wind is calm, I haven't seen anything suspicious." ”

Lao Xu found a place to sit down and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, if it was so easy to find clues, this matter would have been solved a long time ago." ”

Lao Huang agreed: "That's right, this lake is a little cold, if you can drink two sips of old wine to warm up, it will be comfortable." ”

The old grandson said with a smile on his face: "The two adults don't have it, the little old man has a wine gourd here, I'm afraid that the two adults don't think the wine is good." ”

Lao Huang was pleasantly surprised: "I forgot that in order to dispel the cold, your fishing family will bring some spirits with you, so bring them quickly." ”

Lao Sun Tou handed over the wine gourd, Lao Huang raised his head and poured a big sip, and handed it to Lao Xu.

Lao Xu also took a big sip and handed the wine to Zhang Qingyang, who didn't know how to drink and politely refused. The Titan cat is like a small stove, carrying it on his back, where does Zhang Qingyang feel cold.

Lao Huang, Lao Xu and Lao Sun Tou, you take a sip and I take a sip, and in a while, I will drink a gourd of spirits cleanly.

The old grandson squinted his eyes and said, "At this time, if you can have a fish tart, with this pot of wine, that taste, tsk." ”

"The two adults don't know, there used to be a lot of fish in this lake, and they caught them casually. Moreover, the fish in this lake, the younger they are, the more tender they are, and they do not smell fishy, but are a little sweet. Cut off piece by piece, thin as a leaf, chew it in your mouth, and don't change it for a fairy. There is also a kind of shrimp, soaked directly in wine, it gets drunk, and throws one into the mouth, the taste is really fresh and tender. ”

Lao Huang and Lao Xu were described by him shaking their heads and shaking their heads, which caused saliva to seem to drip down.

Lao Xu said: "Old grandson, when did you notice that the fish began to decrease?"

Lao Sun Tou recalled: "About two years ago, in the past, a net went down, full of fish, shrimp, crabs, and then there was only half a net, and now, there is no more than a dozen nets, and there is no harvest at all." But this little thing is not enough for the people in the village to eat. ”

Lao Xu said: "I remember that you lakeside villages have planted some sweet potatoes near the village." ”

Lao Sun Tou nodded and sighed: "I planted some, but that thing is not delicious, red skin and white heart, tasteless, and no one wants to eat it, it is all fed to pigs." There are not many plants, and now that there are fewer fish, everyone has no choice but to fill their stomachs with sweet potatoes. ”

"It's far worse than Huxian. Lao Huang said on the side.

Old Sun Tou sighed: "No way, the population of the village has increased by 30% in the past few years. There are more people, less food, and life is not easy. ”

"The population has increased so much?" asked Lao Xu with a smack of his tongue.

Speaking of this, the old grandson suddenly became proud: "In the past few years, the wind and rain have been smooth, God has taken care of it, no newborn has died, no pregnant woman has had a difficult birth, and no young man has died of illness." The population of Zhonghu Village and Xiahu Village has also increased a lot, but not as much as the population of Shanghu Village. ”

Lao Huang and Lao Xu glanced at each other, this thing was a little strange. You must know that with the current medical conditions, even in a big city like Nanling City, there will be a large number of dystocia and neonatal deaths every year.

In a village by a lake, you can imagine how poor the medical conditions are, but not one of them died. Is it really God who takes care of it?

Lao Huang said: "Your village's luck is really good. ”

The old grandson nodded, and said with a bitter face: "It's a pity that this kind of good life has come to an end, not only can I not catch fish now, but the people in the village continue to disappear, and the days are getting more and more difficult." ”

Zhang Qingyang's Bridge of Mind sensed that Old Sun Tou's mood was particularly heavy and full of fear.
