Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mochizuki
Tan Zhe turned around and said, "There are fish!" It's not a small sound! ”
I nibbled on a compressed biscuit as I looked up at the full moon in the sky and didn't speak. As the saying goes, the full moon is round, since I left home, the moon has been full twice, and I have made a lot of phone calls to my family, my parents always say that everything is fine, but I still can't help but miss.
There was a loud bang, and the splash by the river was more than a meter high, and then I heard something fluttering in the water, "Liu Mi, Liu ...... Liu Mi ......"
I was suddenly frightened: Tan Zhe shouldn't have fallen into the water, right?
I ran to the water's edge to take a look, only to see that Tan Zhe was already some distance from the shore, he raised his hands high, his head was floating in the water, choking on a few mouthfuls of water, and the water splashed beside him.
I clutched my stomach and laughed: "I can't see it, Lawyer Tan, the five big and three thick ones are actually landlubbers!"
Tan Zhe seemed to be very annoyed, and kept beating the water with his hands, and pointed behind his back vigorously.
I took out my wallet and mobile phone and threw them on the ground, and said jokingly: "Don't worry, I am the eight-time swimming champion of our village, even if you fall into the sea, I will catch you up with a fierce prick!"
I jumped into the water with a "poof", but Tan Zhe resisted and drifted farther and farther, and I scolded: "Don't fucking flutter, you'll be on the other side of the river in a while!"
I finally caught up with him with great difficulty, and as soon as I put my hand on his shoulder, I suddenly heard him shout at me, "Snake, there is ...... Snake! ”
Before I could react, I suddenly saw a dark yellow deflated head pop out of his back. It was the size of two fists, thicker than my arm, and a mouth full of fishy stench that made me almost sick.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and kicked Tan Zhe on the lower abdomen.
I was in the water, and the kicking Tan Zhe floated back half a meter, and I also retreated half a meter under the action of inertia.
This horse-drawn ditch is already narrow, and thanks to my kick, I actually kicked Tan Zhe to the opposite bank, although his body was still entangled by the big yellow snake, but he could barely show a head in the shallow water!
The night breeze on the mountain was a little cool, and I shivered in the water.
I turned around and yelled at Tan Zhe: "You hold on, I'll go get the knife!" This snake is very strong, and it may be difficult to subdue it by manpower alone, so we bought two sharp daggers before going up the mountain, which came in handy at this time.
Tan Zhe grabbed the head of the yellow snake with both hands and struggled, but the yellow snake's body seemed to be full of mucus, and it was not slippery at all, and several times, he was almost bitten by this beast.
I pulled out the dagger from my backpack and rushed down the river, Tan Zhe's physical strength was almost exhausted. His face was pale, and his muscles were trembling slightly.
"Don't move." I groped my way behind Tan Zhe, and taking advantage of the faint moonlight on the river, I saw the tabby-like pattern on the big snake's body.
I raised the dagger in my hand high and was about to fall, but I didn't expect the beast to sweep it with its tail, and I staggered and fell into the water.
"Fuck!" I didn't care about anything else, so I found the right time and stabbed it with a knife, and the blood spread like a knocked paint. The snake tossed a few times in horror, left Tan Zhe and swam away.
I quickly helped Tan Zhe to swim back to the other side, and the two of us didn't dare to stay by the river for a long time, so we supported each other to find a vacant place a little farther away from the river to settle down.
Tan Zhe was as tired as a dead dog, sitting on the ground panting, and I found a stick and slapped it in the grass nearby. Tan Zhe asked me with chattering teeth, "What are you doing?"
I said, "Do you know how to pick up grass and find snakes?" If that thing gives us a wasp-tail crochet, we won't see the sun tomorrow! Don't forget, snakes are amphibians! ”
Tan Zhe hugged his arms and trembled: "Don't bother, it can't come up, that thing is not a snake!"
"What's not a snake?"
Tan Zhe sneezed loudly and said, "That's a yellow eel!"
Whose yellow eel is that big? "Are you bullying me for not reading much?"
Tan Zhe took out a can of solid fuel from his backpack, took out some ignition and added some dry firewood to it, he said: "At first, I thought it was a snake, but it had no scales, its body was bare, and besides, when it opened its mouth, didn't you see its tongue?" The snake's tongue is forked, is that thing's tongue forked? ”
I thought about it carefully, I don't know if it had scales or not, but it really didn't split its tongue when it opened its mouth!
"Holy, is this a youkai? Is the eel so thick? So big? ”
Tan Zhe said: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." I heard my master say that there is a kind of eel called Mochizuki eel, which grew up eating carrion and is much larger than ordinary eels. Every full moon night, you will come out to look at the moon. It is highly poisonous, and if you eat it, you will bleed to death! ”
"Mochizuki eel?" I took off my wet clothes, pouted, and said, "I haven't heard of it."
Tan Zhe said: "Haven't you heard an allusion to Ji Xiaolan?"
Why the hell is this still related to Ji Xiaolan?
Tan Zhe said that Ji Xiaolan once stayed in Zhenjiang and happened to encounter a case of a woman murdering her husband. But the neighbors said that the relationship between the two was harmonious, and this woman was virtuous and virtuous, and they didn't believe that a woman would kill her husband.
Ji Xiaolan found something suspicious after interrogating the woman involved in the case, he bought a lot of eels from the market and kept them in the vat. When the moon was full, a head peeked out of the tank.
Ji Xiaolan managed to catch the eel and slaughtered it in front of the blind date to feed the dog, and after the dog ate it, it bled to death, exactly the same as the death of the victim in this case.
It turned out that the two families were poor, and the husband finally caught an eel, but the daughter-in-law was reluctant to eat it, and after stewing, she gave her husband all the strength to replenish her body, which eventually caused a tragedy.
After Tan Zhe finished telling the story, I said, "If this is really a moon-gazing eel, I would like to ask how it grew so big." You say that it eats carrion, this barren mountain and wilderness, its range of activity is limited, where can it get so much carrion to eat? ”
Tan Zhe shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." Ahh
When I saw him sneeze loudly, I threw him a stick and said, "Take off your clothes and roast them on the fire, or you will catch a cold."
Tan Zhe looked around at no one, and took off his clothes and hung on the wooden stick like me, I saw the white flesh on his body, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you as thin and tender as a little girl?"
Tan Zhe's face turned red, and he stiffened his neck and said, "I have good genes, what's the matter, are you not convinced?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft "click" behind the two of us, as if someone had stepped on a branch......
