A retort of strong displeasure sounded behind us, and I turned my head to follow the voice, only to see a middle-aged man with a big beard, dark skin, and a strong body, who did not look like a good person, looking at us with a grin.

The man looked to be in his forties, with a white cloth scarf on his head, and was dressed plainly, and he knew at a glance that he was a farmer who had been digging in the fields all year round.

"Uncle, ...... are you?"

Looking at the other party's appearance, I was a little dazed, and I couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do for a while, but seeing his fierce and vicious appearance, I was also a little weak in my heart, so I could only ask tentatively.

"Hmph, you doll knows a ball, in this world, there are really sharks?"

This person still said the same thing just now, but the tone of his speech this time was no longer as bad as just now, but his expression showed piety and yearning.

I was in a daze, and my heart said don't you keep repeating a sentence, and when I wanted to continue to speak, the doctor glanced at me and asked me not to speak, and I swallowed the words that came to my mouth, and then saw the doctor turn around and salute the man, and then politely asked, "This uncle, I don't know what to call it?" ”

The middle-aged man saw that it was the doctor who spoke, and his attitude was much better, and he replied in a dialect: "You have a good understanding of the baby, and you can recognize the merman, unlike that melon baby, who comes when he opens his mouth, and sprays feces all over his mouth, and he doesn't know how to talk nonsense." ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man glared at me again, making me smile bitterly in my heart.

"Don't be polite, don't call me uncle, if you can afford it, call me Lao Gui."

The doctor smiled politely and said, "In this case, then we are not polite, I am a doctor, you can call me a doctor, this is a reporter, and in the same way, you can also call him a reporter......

After the doctor introduced the three of us to Lao Gui, we knew each other, and after a few words, we knew that Lao Gui was a local, who had worked outside before, and it was almost the New Year now.

As for us, the doctor told him that we were here for a tour, and Lao Gui's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he spoke politely.

At this time, the doctor turned the topic to the question just now and asked Lao Gui: "Uncle Gui, just now you said that there are indeed sharks, have you seen it with your own eyes?" ”

Hearing the doctor's question, Lao Gui's face flashed a hint of piety again, because we had some trouble listening to his dialect, this time he spoke Mandarin with a strong dialect flavor, but compared to just now, this is already very good.

"I haven't seen it, but I've seen it in my old watch, there are indeed shark people, don't lie to you, they are all shark immortals, and they are the protectors of our landscape."

The more Lao Gui spoke, the more excited he became, and the pious color on his face became more and more intense, and the doctor and I both felt a little weird, and the expression on Lao Gui's face at this time could be described as fanatical, which couldn't help but remind me of some extreme belief in gods.

Lao Gui told us that the river under our feet is called the Daxu River, which is formed by the convergence of all the mountain water veins within a radius of 100 miles, and its source comes from all directions.

There are many legends in the Daxu River, among which the most widely spread is the legend of the shark people, it is rumored that in the many source water veins of the Daxu River, there is a branch vein at the end of the hinterland that stretches nearly 100,000 mountains, connecting the fairyland, so the shark immortals living in the fairyland go down the river and enter the Daxu River.

At that time, the waterway of the Daxu River was congested, and the bottom of the river was full of reefs, and passing boats often capsized, killing many people.

In the age of ignorance, people blamed the overturning of the boat on the wrath of the gods, so they organized sacrifices to the river gods, fed human animals, the so-called human animals, that is, using people as sacrifices, tied limbs, tied to boulders and sunk into the river, such behavior, I believe that people who have studied elementary school will feel familiar, because this is the same as the background of Ximen Leopard Zhiye.

It is said that such cruel and ignorant sacrificial activities cannot play any role, but when the people and animals are fed, the so-called shark immortals really appeared in the Daxu River, and they were under the watchful eyes of many people, and were recorded in the local county records.

Many people have witnessed the true face of the shark immortal, and it is rumored that it is a fairy who is so beautiful that all living beings fall in love with it, floating out of the water half-naked, with a smile on her face, and I don't know how many men have charmed.

What's even more bizarre is that since then, the number of boat capsizing in the Daxu River has decreased dramatically, and people attribute it to the blessing of the shark immortals, and since then they have been worshipping it even more.

This is an old legend from hundreds of years ago, and it is said that with the popularization of scientific knowledge, few people should believe it, but the locals have always believed in it, because there are often rumors that someone has witnessed the appearance of the mermaid in the Daxu River.

A long time ago, Lao Gui didn't believe in this, but just five years ago, he was lucky enough to witness the legendary shark immortal with his own eyes when he went fishing on his old watch boat to catch fish and cruise the stream. If someone else said so, Lao Gui would not necessarily believe it, but his old character was honest, he never lied, and he was a well-known honest person in the village.

Hearing this, I couldn't help rolling my eyes, and I couldn't help but complain in my heart, feeling that this old Gui's face was full of yearning, it was actually for the half-naked merman,, how old are these people.

When Lin Qiao'er heard this, she couldn't help frowning, and asked Lao Gui: "Uncle Gui, what happened to those people and animals who were thrown into the water, and did the Shark Immortal save them?" ”
