Xiao Zhen, you're back! ”

Suddenly, I heard someone in the crowd shouting my name, and I hurriedly looked back and saw that it was Li Xiaobai.

I asked Li Xiaobai: "Little bad brother, where did this water snake come from?"

"It's Li He from our village, who was just caught last night!"

Li He is an old fisherman in Laomiao Village, and he and his gorgeous father can be regarded as the "peerless Shuangjiao" in the fishing industry in this area.

Some people believe this, some people don't believe it, but whether you believe it or not, Li He is indeed a good hand in the Yellow River, and it is no problem to sink into the water in one breath and hold it for about ten minutes.

Li Xiaobai said that it was dark at that time, and Li He was naturally ecstatic when he suddenly caught such a big fish, and he didn't see the Yellow River water snake with a doll's head.

"Where's Li He?"

I asked.

"It's already in the hospital! When he brought the fish here this morning, he saw a water snake with a human head, and he was so frightened that he had a heart attack. ”

Zhang Kailong dispersed the crowd and called the Fisheries Bureau to let people come and see.

The three of us then entered the village, and suddenly a feeling of depression came over us.

The feeling of oppression in my chest was strong again, and it didn't feel good, every time I had this feeling before, something evil had happened, and it seemed to have become a signal.

I always felt that the village was strange, an indescribable feeling, both familiar and strange.

Wang Jiliang was anxiously pacing in the courtyard, his face not looking good.

Seeing me come in, Wang Jiliang seemed to see a savior, and grabbed my arm at once.

"Xiao Zhen! You're here, there's an accident in the village again! ”

His voice was hoarse and deep, and he probably didn't sleep well last night.

"Uncle Wang, I know everything, not only our village, but now the whole area is not peaceful!"

I briefly recounted what had happened in the past two days, and asked him again: "Uncle Wang, haven't the district and the town issued a notice?" If you don't let everyone get close to the Yellow River for the past two days, why don't you listen? ”

I'm referring to Li He, I just heard from Xiaobai that he went fishing in the river again last night, and caught a strange fish, which scared him out of heart disease.

"Hey! Since you suppressed the evil cult of the Yellow River, it has been very peaceful a few days ago, and I used the loudspeaker of the village branch to broadcast the notice in the district, but many people don't believe it! Now people only believe in you......"

Actually, I understand, ordinary people! Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the river to eat the river, even if there is danger, you have to work!

"Let's figure it out......"

Wang Jiliang's voice was full of helplessness.

In fact, I am also beating the drum in my heart, until now, I don't know what is happening in the Yellow River, this is like a doctor seeing a doctor, I don't even know the cause, how can I see a good disease?

But seeing that Wang Jiliang was so anxious, I had no choice but to comfort: "Uncle Wang, don't worry!" Captain Zhang and I will find out the reason as soon as possible. ”

Wang Jiliang told us about the situation in Laomiao Village in the past few days, and took us to the broken temple in the western suburbs of the village.

"For as long as I can remember, this ruined temple has been almost like this, except for the original Yellow River Ancient Bell, there is nothing strange about it?"

Wang Jiliang said to me as he walked.

"I can't say this well, but if you think about it, Uncle Wang, my parents died on their knees in this temple back then, and the cat-faced cat was also found in the temple, as well as the antique Li later, why is it all related to this broken temple?"

I replied.

"When you say this, you also remind me that the land around this temple is particularly fertile, and the same tree species here is obviously taller than in other places."

Wang Jiliang said.

The four of them quickly walked into the ancient temple, and they were all attracted by the sound of chirping.

"So many birds!"

Zhang Kailong said in surprise.

The ruined temple is surrounded by towering trees on three sides, and the big and small birds nearby naturally like to gather over, but at this time, almost the entire tree is full of birds, and there are thousands of them hovering in the sky, and there is nowhere to stay.

Obviously it's not normal!

"That's an osprey! How can there be so many ospreys! ”

Chen Laosan pointed to a group of green birds the size of pigeons, with pointed heads and long legs.

None of the three of us had ever heard of such a bird, let alone seen a bird of this kind.

"Third brother, what kind of bird is the osprey? We don't seem to have seen this piece before! ”

I asked hurriedly.

"This bird lives in the mountains at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters and depends on the Yellow River, which I know is only found in the depths of the Tanggula Mountains."

"Qinghai?" Zhang Kailong exclaimed.

"Birds are very regional, and Qinghai is tens of thousands of miles away from the estuary, which ...... What is this called, how can the eagle's bird come to us? ”

Wang Jiliang muttered.

"It's not just ospreys, you see, there are at least 100,000 birds near this ruined temple, and there are many species, and it seems that many of them are not local!"

Zhang Kailong replied.

I have good eyesight, and I have seen something even more evil, and there are countless birds coming in this direction from all directions, and it seems that they will stop here.

It's not going to be a big gathering of birds today, is it? Could it be that animals also have this habit?

"Look ahead!" He pointed to the ground a dozen meters in front of us.

As I walked along the way, I saw countless ants crawling on the ground. Actually, I don't like to use words like "innumerable" and "approximately", but when I saw the ants on the ground, I really couldn't think of a more appropriate adjective.

The whole ground was almost full of ants, densely wriggling, and I had the impression that there had never been such a picture, and if there were people with dense phobia, they would definitely go crazy on the spot.

These ants seemed to be very restless, and they were all trying to climb forward, and like the birds above their heads in the trees, although they were all ants, they had different species.

The most common in our local area are the small black ants, and there is also a type of big ants called "sticky ant sheep" in dialect, but there are almost all kinds of ants in front of us, red, yellow, color, different colors, different sizes, and I don't know where they came from.

"Something is wrong!"

Zhang Kailong's voice was a little out of tune.

"Xiao Zhen, what can so many birds and ants mean?" Wang Jiliang looked at me with a frightened expression.

I thought about it for a moment and replied, "What does it mean, I don't know yet, they should be coming to the ancient temple!"

The ancient temple has been very dilapidated, the roof of the temple has collapsed more than half, but no matter how heavy the rain is, there is never a drop of water in the temple, even if the rain is so heavy this year, the ground in the temple is still very dry.

Walking into the temple, I suddenly felt extremely cool, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"It's so cold!"

Chen Laosan said casually.

Wang Jiliang and I also think it's very abnormal, although the temperature in this temple is usually a little lower than the surroundings, but the temperature difference is not so big!

It was the end of August, and many people were still wearing skirts and half-sleeves, but as soon as they walked into the temple, it was as if they had suddenly entered spring.

"Xiao Zhenna! I've seen a building like this before! ”

Chen Laosan looked around and said to me.

"Have you seen it? It can't be in my grandmother's valley, right? I replied.

As I said before, there is also such an ancient temple in the Jade Girl Village, but the area is smaller.

"It's not! It is on a cliff on the edge of the Yellow River. ”

Chen Laosan replied.
