Chapter 206: There Are Really Water Thieves
Dragon King!
Zhou Fan, who got such an answer, was really a little crying and laughing. Although the people of this year are praying that the dragon lord can ask for a smooth year, it is obvious that those things are fooling people, where is the dragon lord in this world.
"That old man, tell me, what's going on with this dragon lord? Why would you ask for any sacrifices? Zhou Fan was also interested.
"My lord, you rich and noble people don't understand, only those of us who run boats understand. If you run a boat on the Yangtze River, you have to bring some sacrifices, and you are afraid that you will encounter the Dragon King blocking the way like today. But fortunately, the Dragon Lord is merciful, as long as he gives them sacrifices, it won't be long before he can go on his way safely. The bow of the ship said solemnly.
"What if you forget to bring a sacrifice one day and live without a sacrifice?" Zhou Fan continued to ask.
In an instant, the bow of the ship's face darkened, and said in a whisper: "Then it's troublesome, and then the Dragon Lord will be angry, and I know that many ships are destroyed because of this." Oops, I can't say it anymore, Lord Long doesn't like others to talk about it behind his back anymore. ”
With that, the bow of the ship walked away with a solemn face, and walked again, standing with the crew, and began to read in fragments, as if he were praying for something.
Zhou Fan looked at the serious appearance of the bow of the boat, but he did not laugh, but was quite understanding.
For those of them who walked the boat, they all had their own beliefs, and they believed in the dragon lord, so they naturally respected it.
This is actually a matter of faith, or superstition, sincerity is spirituality, and it can be regarded as praying for oneself and seeking comfort in one's heart.
However, although Zhou Fan can understand the thoughts of these boat walkers. However, let him believe that there will be some dragon lord, how can it be possible. And the dignified dragon lord actually asked for a few dead pigs as sacrifices. Wouldn't that be too cheap!
"Let's go, go over and have a look!" Zhou Fan said with a smile. At the same time, they walked towards the place where the previous men had put the dead pigs.
Gan Ning and the others couldn't help but shushed each other when they heard this, they are still people of this era, and they don't have the same advanced thinking as Zhou Fan. For things like the Dragon Lord, it is generally better to believe it than to believe it. However, now that Zhou Fan has gone over, wouldn't it be bad if they didn't follow them together, and in desperation, they had to keep up with Zhou Fan's footsteps.
"it!" As soon as I approached the side of the boat. Sticking out his head and looking over, Zhou Fan was suddenly taken aback.
I saw a wave of water rippling on the water, pointing out the circle Qilian.
The dead pig that was thrown out by several crew members did not sink at all, but floated on the water. Of course, it didn't float on its own, but it was lifted up by an external force.
And what is even more shocking is that it didn't take long for the dead pig of more than 200 catties to be separated, and it was obvious that there was something eating the wild boar below.
"It can't be a shark!" Zhou Fan muttered to himself. As soon as I saw this face. His first reaction was sharks, which he had fed when he was a breeder in his previous life. Although the whole pig is not fed, the noodles are almost identical.
However, the next moment, he was laughed at by his own thoughts.
This is the Yangtze River, a freshwater basin, where do the sharks come from, the sharks are all in the sea, not to mention that I can't see the shark fins at all.
What would it be, Zhou Fan immediately looked under the water, wanting to see what the real body of this "Dragon King" was.
"What is this?" At this time, Xun You and several people also came to the side of the boat. I was also shocked when I saw this scene. Most of them had never seen such a scene, and it was as if several tigers were eating their prey. However, this place is in the water, and there are beasts like tigers in this water?
"It's ...... Alligator! "And this time. Zhou Fan clearly understood that the thing hidden under the water surface was actually a Chinese alligator!
No wonder Zhou Fan was so shocked.
This alligator is a crocodile endemic to China and has been living in the Yangtze River basin.
And the most important thing is that this Chinese alligator was in Zhou Fan's previous life, which was a national first-class protected animal, and it was not at all as precious as the national treasure giant panda.
In the 70s, after investigation, the number of these Chinese crocodiles did not exceed 500, and after 30 years of artificial breeding, the number was only about 10,000.
The scale of the zoo where Zhou Fan worked in his previous life was large enough, but there were only two in the entire garden, which shows how precious it is.
And now, Zhou Fan looked at the past, rolling on the water, and there were seven or eight alligators biting, which really surprised him.
What's even more surprising is that this alligator is the smallest crocodile in the world, usually only about 1.5 meters, and the largest is only 2.1 meter.
And among the few Chinese crocodiles that Zhou Fan sees now, none of them are less than one zhang, that is, two meters and five, and a few are even more than one zhang and two, which is really surprising.
But it's normal to think about it, this is not the heavily polluted era of the previous life, the waters have not been very exploited in these years, and it is not surprising that there are so many Chinese alligators.
As for the volume, it is not worth mentioning, in the late Han Dynasty, how good the ecological conditions were, even the tigers, lions, leopards, bears, pigs, cattle and sheep and other animals that Zhou Fan saw were one size bigger than in the previous life, and it was not surprising that this Chinese alligator could live by one zhang and two.
Five of a kind of two levels of advanced, three of a kind of three level of beginner
Zhou Fan hurriedly looked over, and suddenly the information of the Yangtze crocodile appeared in Zhou Fan's mind.
Those who are not more than one zhang two are all two-level senior, and those three who have passed one zhang two are all third-level primary, seeing this scene, Zhou Fan couldn't help but show a smile, that is a little experience.
Catch!
"Lord, what is this, is it the Dragon King? How can it be so hideous, so vicious? Dian Wei exclaimed with some surprise. He has never been into the water in his life, let alone been to the Yangtze River, so naturally he has never seen this crocodile native to the Yangtze River.
The rest of the people also nodded hurriedly, they had never seen this Chinese crocodile, and they couldn't help but be a little afraid.
I thought about what it would be like if the dead pig below was replaced by me. Even Gan Ning, who has the best water-based nature, couldn't help but shiver.
After all, they humans do not belong to the water, how can they play in the water and play with the Yangtze crocodile, if they are in the water, he Gan Ning has the confidence to kill one head one-on-one, and the two ends are a little reluctant, it is estimated that they will be injured, and the three heads will die by themselves, if it is the following eight heads, I am afraid that they will be divided in an instant.
After a while, Zhou Fan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "This thing is called Yangtze crocodile!" (To be continued)
