Because now only in the deep mountains, there are mountain chestnuts, Huai Mountain, yam eggs, Poria cocos, the road is far away, Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, Liujia Village and other dozens of village chiefs, along the way, idle is also idle, all while walking to talk about some of their new and strange things.

Xiao Qiongzhi was carried by Zheng Bang, condescending, and it was very convenient to listen.

She listened to a paragraph here, a paragraph there, and was listening interestingly, when Zheng Bang suddenly whispered: "Zhi'er, your Aunt Liu may be saved!" ”

"Really?" Xiao Qiongzhi was overjoyed, and her voice shook the sky.

The patriarchs of the villages who walked behind Zheng Bang were all taken aback, shut up one after another, and looked at them curiously.

Zheng Bang took the opportunity to point to one of the patriarchs and said to Xiao Qiongzhi: "I just heard that this Liao patriarch is talking about their village, and someone has found out about Tai Sui, you can ask him carefully what is going on." ”

"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi immediately realized that Tai Sui should be the thing that could save Aunt Liu.

She looked at Patriarch Liao and asked curiously: "Patriarch Liao, may I ask your village, who discovered Tai Sui, that Tai Sui, where is it now?" ”

Patriarch Liao is a very discerning person.

While Xiao Qiongzhi was talking, he strode to Zheng Bang's side and replied to her very cautiously: "Little master, this matter is a long story, you and the big hero just keep moving forward, and I will follow closely behind you and tell you slowly." ”

"Okay, thanks." Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly said.

Zheng Bang immediately continued to walk forward.

"In our village, there is a big mountain called Baibao Mountain, and there is a lake on the top of the mountain, called Baibao Lake. The lake is very deep, and it is said that the deepest part can reach the bottom of the mountain. ”

"As early as hundreds of years ago, Liao Xian, the eldest son of Liao Dada, the patriarch of our village at the time, was fishing in Baibao Lake and found a very strange thing inside."

"The appearance of that thing, part of it looks like a pig's brain inside a pig's skull, part of it looks like a shaved pigskin, and there are a lot of big crucian carp swimming around in the water together."

He thought it was strange and went home and told his father Liao Dada about it. Liao Dada is a very well-informed person, saying that it should be Tai Sui, only in ancient times, appeared, it is said that as long as you eat a bite of its meat, you can not only bring the dead back to life, but also prolong life. ”

The next day, the father and son took a number of clansmen, armed with fishing rods, fishing nets, bows and arrows, and planned to go to Baibao Lake to catch Tai Sui. However, they stayed from morning to night, and Tai Sui never appeared again. ”

"They were not reconciled, they found a cave near Baibao Lake, and Liao Xian led ten clansmen to live on the mountain, and took turns guarding Baibao Lake every day and night, while fishing, while waiting for Tai Sui to appear, even the food was sent by another person, and it was sent up every day from below."

"But even so, three full months have passed, and that Tai Sui still hasn't appeared again."

The people in the clan suspected that Liao Xian was wrong at that time, and did not agree to guard Tai Sui again. Only Liao Xian was still unwilling and continued to guard there. Liao Dada believed in him, and every day, he personally brought him food, and also found a kind of bait used to catch Tai Sui from ancient books, found it, and gave it to Liao Xian. ”

"Seven years later, one day, Liao Dada went up the mountain in the morning to deliver food, but he hadn't come down the mountain by noon, and his wife was very worried, so she told the two old ladies in the clan who were in charge of the matter."

"The two old ladies took dozens of young people up the mountain to look for them, and finally, by Baibao Lake, they found Liao Dada's clothes, and there were two pieces of paper wrapped in oiled paper in the clothes."

"A piece of paper draws the appearance of Tai Sui, and a piece of paper says that there is indeed Tai Sui in the lake, it is too big, there should be two or three hundred catties, when Liao Xian fished, he was thrown into the lake by Tai Sui, he wanted to go into the water to save Liao Xian, and he may be more auspicious."

"He hoped that the people would tell his family about it when they saw the note, and at the same time, tell his family not to try to avenge them."

"Liao Dada's other sons are all honest people, they listen to Liao Dada's words very much, and do what he tells them, but Liao Xian's two sons are not reconciled, they take out the bait to fish Tai Sui when they are free, go to the lake to fish, want to catch Tai Sui, take revenge, and leave their last words, let their children and grandchildren do the same."

Speaking of this, Patriarch Liao may have been a little tired, stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "It's just that hundreds of years have passed, and no one has ever found that Tai Sui, including Liao Xian's descendants, although they have been insisting on fishing Tai Sui, but they have found nothing. ”

"Until the third day of the first month of last month, I was leading my clansmen to dig bamboo shoots on the mountain, and suddenly I heard a sound of help on the top of the mountain, very similar to the voice of Liao Chong, the twenty-seventh grandson of Liao Xian, I suspected that it was related to Tai Sui, and hurriedly took everyone to see it."

"Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the lake, we actually saw the Tai Sui that Liao Dada drew on paper. It is very large, it should be four or five hundred catties, and it is surrounded by a large circle of black crucian carp, which is also very large, and it must have nearly a catty. ”

"Liao Chong is next to Tai Sui, holding a fishing rod in his hand, but his whole body, hands and feet seem to be stuck by Tai Sui, and he can't move, only his head can still be turned, and he keeps calling for help from us."

"Since they were already in deep water at that time, at least thirty or forty meters away from the shore, the clansmen I brought with me only had hoes and palladium in their hands, which were not useful at all."

"I can only ask everyone to pick up small stones from the shore and hit that Tai Sui."

"It's certainly not very useful to do that. Patriarch Liao, why don't you let people go down to the lake, swim to Liao Chong's side, and save him? When Xiao Qiongzhi heard this, he was very puzzled.

Patriarch Liao hurriedly explained: "Little master, Baibao Lake is very evil, there is a strange black crucian carp, their teeth are particularly sharp, usually, they swim at a distance of about twenty meters from the shore of the lake, no matter what it is, if they fall there, they will rush up and bite it hard. ”

"The big circle of black crucian carp around Tai Sui that I just mentioned is this kind of fish."

Moreover, at that time, that Tai Sui was very cunning and swam very fast, and after a while, he swam out a hundred meters away and took Liao Chong to dive underwater. By the time the men I sent to chase them into the water, when they dived, they would not be found. ”

"I and my village are not reconciled, after all, we all watched Liao Chong die in the hands of that Tai Sui."

"Since the fourth day of the first lunar month last month, I, like Liao Dada, found the cave near Baibao Lake, picked ten people, lived on the mountain, and took turns guarding Baibao Lake every day and night, while fishing, while waiting for Tai Sui to appear, even the food was sent by another person, and it was sent up every day from below."

"It's a pity that until now, that Tai Sui has never appeared again."
