Chapter 271: Water Monkey

Liu Junhao strode across the river embankment, only to see several children walking towards him

This...... He was dumbfounded. Isn't the hairy child good, the little baby is lying to himself? This bear child, wait until I go back to clean him up.

As soon as the group of children saw the adults, they immediately shouted loudly: "Uncle Xiaohao, hurry up, the hairy child was scratched by the water monkey." ”

"You guys, haven't you learned "The Child Who Herds Sheep", even adults dare to lie" To be honest, Liu Junhao is quite annoyed now, when he first heard the news, he was almost not stupid, but when he came, he saw that people were fine. Now they are still unrepentant, and they are so ignorant.

"It's true, look at his trouser leg," a child reached out and lifted the furry child's trouser leg.

"Hiss" when I saw the hairy child on the ankle that. When there were some dark blue paw prints, Liu Junhao also took a deep breath.

This paw print is not a forgery at a glance, that. There's blood oozing from there. Are there really water monkeys?

Along the banks of the great river about the legend of the water monkeys. There are countless things to say, this thing is more and more evil, and in Qingshan Town, its mystery is second only to that unicorn water monster.

If only a few people have seen the water monster, it is to see it. There are many people who have water monkeys.

Legend has it that this thing is dressed in jet-black or turquoise hair, and is able to. Walk upright. Although it is not tall, it has a lot of strength in the water, and can easily drag an adult into the water.

When I was in junior high school before, my biology teacher used to explain this kind of . Water monkey "phenomenon". According to him, all of this is just an imaginary idea.

Why spring, autumn and winter. Few people are pulled by water monkeys in the third season, and most of them are in summer alone? There are some reasons for this.

In summer, the weather is hot and dry, and ordinary people only need to work in the field for half an hour, and their bodies will be wet with sweat.

Some people can't stand the heat, and they rush into the water to take a shower after work, and they don't care about sweat to dry.

Due to the exposure to the sun, the temperature of the water meter can reach thirty or forty degrees, while the deep water is only a few degrees. Because the temperature difference between the surface of the water and the bottom of the water is too large, people have no time to adapt to it after entering the water, which can easily cause sweat pores to be blocked, which in turn leads to cramps in the legs.

This gives people the impression that their feet have been caught by something, and in addition to the hallucinations in panic, they will think that the water monkeys are the fault.

Liu Junhao used to believe in this theory, but when he saw the real thing that was killed, he thought that there might really be an unknown creature like a water monkey. And the teacher's speculation is purely on paper and seriously unreliable.

The water monkey incident occurred in the summer of the first year of high school, there was a village called Li Wan in the lower reaches of the river, and when someone in their village was washing vegetables in the pond, they accidentally found a water monkey lying not far away to warm up.

The people in the village were afraid that the children would be disobedient and secretly go into the water to bathe and have an accident, so they discussed and got a few pumps to pump all the water in the pond clean.

As a result, when the water was drained, a gray-black thing was found at the bottom of the pond, and everyone was carrying shovels and slashing until they were killed.

At that time, this matter spread widely, and many people went to watch it. Liu Junhao felt strange and went with the villagers, but saw a half-meter-long thing, covered in fluffy and fluffy, with webbing on its four paws, which really looked a bit like a monkey. However, because the flesh and blood were cut by someone, the water monkey could not see it really.

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Junhao waited for his breath to even, and then asked.

"The ...... we ran into when we were sticking to the fish"

It turns out that the root cause of the matter is still feeding the birds, and a few days ago, a tourist paid for the children in the village to help catch fish. The hairy children thought that catching fish in the weir pond was too slow, so they secretly took the sticky net to the river to catch floats.

Grabbing and catching, the hairy child suddenly felt a tightness under his feet, and then squatted in the water.

At that time, he thought that he had stepped on the aquatic weeds, so he pedaled with his foot a few times, but he felt that it was a furry thing that grabbed his foot and neck. The kid immediately knew that the bad dish must have been caught by the water monkeys in the river.

To say that he was also smart, he did not immediately shout for help, afraid that if he shouted, the other children would definitely flee to the shore because of fear.

At that time, the child shouted in a hurry: "Let's play the bolt pulling competition, you guys go up together, see if you can pull me up, and each person who pulls up will be rewarded with a dollar." "The tie game is also a game often played by children, that is, one person lies on the river bank and grabs the aquatic grass or holds a large rock to fix the body, and then let the others pull it.

At that time, a group of children thought he was laughing, and jumped into the water to pull. Seven or eight children worked hard together, like pulling turnips and skewering them together, and finally everyone exerted their strength to feed the milk before pulling the furry children to the shore.

When he got ashore, the bear child spoke, "I may have been dragged by the water monkey just now." ”

As soon as they heard this, the children turned white with fright, and almost threw the guy on the riverbank.

In the end, they sent the little baby back to the village to report the news, and a few people drove the furry child back.

Seeing that he was fine, Liu Junhao let go of his heart. This guy is not only smart enough, but also has a pretty good psychological quality. If he yells after being dragged into the water, it will definitely scare the group of little children away.

"Are there really water monkeys?" While speaking, Professor Zhao also rushed over.

"Yes...... Look at the hairy child's legs ......" several children recounted the incident again.

In this way, Liu Junhao leaned over and put the hairy child on his back and sent him directly to the village.

By noon, the whole village knew about the presence of water monkeys in the river, and told their children not to go down to the river to play. In fact, needless to say, these guys will be honest for a while.

"When I came back from going out on the street, I heard that the hairy boy was dragged by the water monkey, what the hell happened?" Zhang Qian came back from the market, and the first thing she said was this.

"It's all right," Liu Junhao smiled and comforted.

Out of the water monkey incident, he remembered that Zhao Guangming led people to catch turtles some time ago, when the cage was well grounded, but he didn't know that something quietly cut a few big holes.

Isn't it also a water monkey? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and finally his heart was gradually filled with curiosity. What the hell is this water monkey, is it an animal that humans have not yet discovered?

"Look, the Internet says that water monkeys are otters." At this time, Zhang Qian suddenly pointed to the computer screen and shouted.

"Otters!" Liu Junhao hurriedly walked over.

An expert above explained that otters usually like to wrap aquatic plants around their bodies and then lie on the surface of the water to sleep or bask in the sun. People stop and watch from a distance, as if a monkey's head is floating on the water.

Otters are very fond of their fur, which is why they like to go ashore and groom their hair.

With the explanation of the previous biology teacher, Liu Junhao was also skeptical of this statement and felt that it was a bit far-fetched.

Otters, otters have so much strength in the water, according to the villagers, this thing can pull an adult into deep water.

Seeing is believing, and it is useless to just listen to other people's analysis. For a while, Liu Junhao had the idea of going down to the river to return to this water monkey. If it's an otter, you can catch it and sell it for money, and I've heard that the fur is worth a lot of money.

"No, you're not allowed to go, what if it's not an otter," as soon as he said this idea, Zhang Qian immediately shook his head in disagreement. It seems that in the heart of his wife, he is also skeptical of this statement.

"I just opened my mouth to say it, I didn't plan to really go down to the river" Liu Junhao denied it, but his heart was completely moved, and he carefully looked up information about otters on the Internet.

Not to mention, there are many people who believe that the otter is the legendary water monkey, and of course, there are many objections on the Internet.

The next day, when Zhang Qian went to school, Liu Junhao quietly led Xiaopi and Chitu out, and of course took a plate of well rope in his hand.

Go to the shore and see if there's anyone around. He wrapped the well rope around his waist and tied the other end to the reins of the red rabbit, and when everything was ready, he pulled up his trouser leg and went down to the river.

I believe that with his own strength, coupled with the strength of the red rabbit on the shore, even if he really touches the water monkey later, it will not be able to pull it.

It was quiet, and there were only a few water ducks floating gently in the center of the river.

Liu Junhao stood in the water and waited for half an hour, but there was no movement, which made him a little impatient.

Now I always feel stupid in my actions, this big river is dozens of miles long and dozens of zhang wide, who knows where the water monkey will appear.

The hand inadvertently touched the stone lock on his chest, and Liu Junhao's heart moved again, maybe he could use the spring water to yin, and when he led the baby fish before, the effect was surprisingly good. Since it is okay to deal with giant salamanders, this water monkey can naturally do it.

The tumultuous water poured out of the stone lock, and the fish in the big river immediately reacted and began to slowly gather around Liu Junhao. The water is much deeper than a mountain stream, so even if a school of fish gathers, it is not very obvious on the surface of the water.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, the fish around him gradually increased, but there were no other abnormal changes at all. Liu Junhao stood in the water for nearly an hour, although the river water in April was not cold, but after a long time, he still felt numb in his legs.

Seeing that the water monkey should not appear like that, just as he closed the stone lock passage and walked to the shore, he suddenly felt a sudden drag under his feet. Caught off guard, he stumbled and hurriedly stood up straight again.

"Water monkeys!" Although he couldn't see the thing inside clearly through the water, Liu Junhao could still feel the thing firmly grasping his ankle.

After the initial panic passed, he gradually calmed down, fixed his feet in the sand, and then groped his hands down the water.

Before he could touch the water monkey, he felt that his other foot was also caught. Then his feet loosened, and he sat in the water, and the cold river water soaked his clothes
