Kill the river demon

After the baptism of blood, Anjiazhuang regained its peace, and all the ugliness and evil were buried by justice. With a new young master, An Jia will also usher in a new tomorrow.

An Yin took Mrs. Duchun to ride the white dragon horse, along the mountain road, enjoying the bright spring sunshine, the rape flowers in the mountains dancing in the breeze, and the birds in the forest playing the symphony in spring.

The adult An Yin exudes the breath of a man, his sturdy physique cannot be covered under a green shirt, his face is angular, his eyes under the thick eyebrows are deeper, and the beard at the corner of his mouth is slightly raised.

Twilight is also a mother of two children, and she looks more mature and dignified.

"Madam, look at the green mountains and white clouds, it is refreshing, our life is also stable now, in the past few years, you have really worked hard for this family!" After saying that, he hugged Mrs. Twilight even tighter.

"To be with my husband, the hardship and tiredness are not enough to worry about, I just hope that our family can be safe, it is the blessing of the slave family." said and snuggled in An Yin's arms, "Now that the An family's business is on the right track, my husband is also working hard for this family, and I have to take care of my body!" ”

After passing through the Changchong slope mountain road, go around to the horse farm of Anjia. Everyone smiled and greeted Mr. and Mrs. An Yin warmly when they came to inspect the horse farm, and the family members of the An family have also been taken care of by An Yin over the years, and Mrs. An is also very easy-going, often asking the family members for warmth, and getting Mrs. An's help if there are any problems. So in the minds of Jia Ding, Grandpa An and Mrs. An are very good-hearted people.

After inspecting the horse farm, An Yin thought that he hadn't helped Bailongju take a bath for a long time, and his wife pulled the horses to the horse washing pond, it was already sunset, and the couple picked up the clear Huanlong stream water and helped Bailongju wash the fur spotlessly. In the past few years, the white dragon horse has accompanied An Ye to the north and south, traveling tens of thousands of miles, cold and heat, never tired, the bones are more and more prominent, and he looks more vigorous, rolling in the river, jumping ashore, like a dragon out of the water under the reflection of the sunset. An Yin saw it and couldn't say how much he loved it.

When I went home, it was already dinner, and I saw two children sitting and waiting for their parents to come to dinner, the eldest boy was seven or eight years old, and the younger girl was five or six years old. After the family had dinner, the wife took the two children to the study to read and practice calligraphy. An Yin came to the Juxian Hall and asked the housekeeper Zhu Lu to come to check the accounts of this month and also make plans for the next step of business.

Zhu Lu used to be a storekeeper in the An family, the age is similar to An Yin, this person is smart and studious, he has learned a lot of things in the hands of the old housekeeper, and he can talk to An Yin, and the relationship has always been very good, so after An Yin took over the An family, he called Zhu Lu to help him run Anjiazhuang.

An Yin saw Zhu Lu and invited him to sit opposite, the two chatted while drinking tea, Zhu Lu said about the income and expenditure of the An family in the last month, and said that the cloth and salt for the next month must be purchased in the next few days, otherwise the Duanyang Festival will be out of stock after a while, and the Huanlong River will be flooded next month, and if the behemoth comes out and crashes the wooden bridge, it will have to wait a few months to buy a series of living materials in Anshun Mansion. In the past few years, this river demon has brought a lot of losses to our business.

Speaking of this river demon, according to eyewitnesses: no one knows how many years this monster has come out to forage for food in May and June every year, and only sneaks back into the cave in October, the body is nearly five meters away, the body is golden, the head is big and the eyes are small, the mouth is like a big wooden barrel, there are two long whiskers about one meter at the corner of the mouth, it has jumped out of the water to devour a calf, and some people have died in this mouth, so the people and merchants in the vicinity are frightened and panicked.

At the mention of this, An Yin frowned, and after being silent for a long time, he said one of his bold thoughts to Zhu Lu: "Kill the river demon." ”

Zhu Lu was taken aback when he heard this: "Young Master is serious?" ”

"Of course, if this demon is not removed, the lives of the people will not be guaranteed, and the merchants will become scarce day by day, which will have a great impact on our business." After that, he told Zhu Lu about the plan of how to get rid of the demon.

Zhu Lu also felt very hung when he heard it, but An Yin was full of confidence.

Just after Zhu Lu arranged the itinerary for the purchase, there was a sudden rainstorm that night, it rained for three days and three nights in a row, the water of the Huanlong River overflowed the rocks in the middle of the mountain, and it rose about dozens of meters, and more than half of the towering trees on both sides of the river were washed away, and the rolling river water rushed all the way along the winding mountains, and the sound of the water was deafening.

At the beginning of the rainstorm on the fourth day, An Yin took Zhu Lu to ride a horse to inspect the situation of the wooden bridge under the Diga River: I saw that the big river roared all the way to the direction of the racecourse, and the water surface was only one meter high from the two piers, and the wooden bridge had been cut off at the waist, and only a few ropes were left on both sides of the piers floating in the river. It seems that the river demon has come out, and it seems to know that only by breaking the wooden bridge will he have a chance to forage for humans and livestock.

When he got home, An Yin told Zhu Lu to prepare the tools and bait for the killing, and he would go to the monster tomorrow.

On the second day, when the sky cleared, An Yin led the white dragon horse and stood in the courtyard of Anjiazhuang, Zhu Lu had already prepared everything according to An Yin's instructions: a hemp rope as thick as a wrist and about 100 meters long, and a fish hook the size of a sickle was tied to the hemp rope, which was specially made by a blacksmith according to An Yin's requirements. The "chicken cart" has a slaughtered fat sheep tied to it. Another "chicken bus" had a basin of sheep blood and a basin of chicken blood, as well as two or three live ducks.

When Twilight learns that her husband wants to get rid of the river demon, she takes her son and daughter to say goodbye to him, and tells him to stay safe several times. Then An Yin got on the horse and led Zhu Lu, four strong men and two coachmen set off.

Coming to the downstream of the wooden bridge, a large mountain with ancient trees blocked the boiling water, and there was a steep stone mountain on the left, and the two mountains forced the river to change its flow, forming a huge huiwan, and the water flow on the inner side of the huiwan was relatively calm.

They walked along the hill on the left, carving out a mountain road for the "chicken bus" to push. Finally along the steep up and down to the junction of the two mountains, here is relatively gentle, this is the distance to see the big bay, indeed the water surface is not as turbulent as a straight line, from time to time you can also see big fish diving on the water surface.

Everyone was curious why they chose to capture the river demon here, and An Yin said confidently to everyone: "According to my analysis, this monster came out to breathe and forage, and the water here is stable, and there are many plankton in the water, and it is more likely to inhabit here, even if it is not here now, I have a way to lure it over." An Yin instructed everyone to eat some dry food first, and after resting, they would start to capture the river demon.

After resting, An Yin found a big tree on the bank very close to the river, put the rope around the trunk, and placed the hook on the bank. Then he instructed the two strong men to pour a large basin of chicken blood into the river in the direction of the fish hook, and in an instant the river surface was filled with the smell of blood, and the surrounding river water of about five meters slowly turned pale red.

After an hour, there was no movement on the surface of the water, but there were quite a few big fish diving not far away. Then he asked someone to pour the second pot of goat's blood into the water, and the smell of blood in the water became even stronger. Then he threw the ducks he had brought into the river, and the ducks swam happily on the surface of the water as soon as they saw the water, and from time to time they stabbed a fierce boy to catch small fish in the water.

After another hour, there was still no movement, and someone asked, "Young master, is your method workable?" It's been so long, and there's still no reaction? ”

"Don't rush, wait slowly!"

"The sun is about to set!"

As he was talking, suddenly a large dustpan-like blister appeared on the water surface in the distance, slowly approaching the direction of the ducks on the water. And the ducks on the surface of the water seemed to sense something, and ran to the shore desperately.

"Come, quick, quickly hang the slaughtered fat sheep on the hook and gently put it into the water on the shore." An Yin urgently instructed the family members, "Let's grab the rope and hide in the woods behind the right side." ”

Zhu Lu also saw the bubbles in the water, and when he heard An Yin's order, he hurriedly followed everyone and pulled the rope and retreated to the small forest behind him.

An Yin stood first with the rope pulled, and the others stood behind, all holding their breath and waiting for the monster to take the bait.

Half a pillar of incense time, I saw the waves rolling on the water surface on the shore, a golden object out of the water, and into the water, a powerful force through the rope to everyone's hands.

"Everybody's tightened, bait!" An Yin shouted excitedly.

The rope grinded a puff of green smoke on the trunk of the tree, and An Yin ordered everyone to move forward slowly, release slowly, and not hard-pull, otherwise the rope would break.

An Yin kept walking forward, and everyone followed, seeing that he was about to reach the end of the big tree, An Yin hurriedly shouted: "Slowly put the rope, first consume its first wave of power!" "The rope of 100 meters is only about 10 meters away from the strong force. The trunk of the tree had been pulled through a deep gap.

"If this continues, this guy will run away." An Yin thought to himself.

The palms of everyone's hands were strangled by ropes and bleed, and Zhu Lu kept shouting there: "It hurts to death!" The rope is almost finished! ”

Seeing that the river demon was swimming farther and farther, and he couldn't control it, An Yin shouted loudly: "You all support it first, and I'll go into the water to take its life!" With that, let go, a carp entered the water and disappeared into the water.

Zhu Lu saw that An Yin poked his head out once and disappeared from a distance of dozens of meters. And the remaining rope in everyone's hands is less than a meter, everyone is worried about the young master, the rope in their hands is held tighter, and let the force continue to come, everyone gritted their teeth and dragged hard, even if the rope is broken, it can't be released.

I saw that a circle of ripples spread out 100 meters away, and everyone felt that the strength was big and small, weak and bright.

Suddenly, everyone fell backwards to the ground, and quickly got up, the rope did not have much strength, and it was easy to pull. Everyone hurriedly collected the rope, and after a while, they saw that the water of about ten meters turned red, An Yin jumped out of the water, took a deep breath of air, swam to the shore and lay down, covering his abdomen with one hand, and the blood in his abdomen stained the whole dress red. Zhu Lu suddenly lost his voice and shouted: "Young master, young master, what's wrong with you?" Few...... Father! Hurriedly ran over to support An Yin.

And the others did not dare to relax and accelerated the speed of reeling. Suddenly, I saw a golden giant monster fish surface, and a long cut was made on its snow-white belly, and An Yin's short knife was still stuck in it, and blood gushed out. The mouth of the blood basin is covered with rows of dense teeth, and it looks very scary.

Everyone hurriedly pulled the monster ashore in one go, and everyone looked extremely small next to it, no wonder so many lives were harmed.

Ahn Yin fainted.
