"Are you really a police officer?" The old man cocked Erlang's legs in a posture of chattering.

"Yes, Zhang Yuanjun, the captain of the first brigade of the North District Police Department of Jingchu City, I have a mission to go out of the city this time, and you are going to cause trouble if you arrest me."

This subtext is a clear threat, and it can be heard by weighing nine catties, and it is impossible for this old man not to hear it.

But the threatening words of a man who was thrown into the pool with his hands and feet tied were not credible.

"Then you can't let it go." The old man tapped his earthy blackened pipe twice on the stone by the pond, opened his mouth to show his yellowed teeth, and said with a smile: "Hehe, speaking of which, I am also a colleague, and I also worked as a policeman when I was young."

At that time, I had just graduated from the police academy, and then I encountered a major earthquake, and the people in the city were killed and injured, and many people died, and I fled with the large team in a daze, and many years have passed, and I have never seen a living policeman, you are the first. ”

The cigarette was lit, the little sparks were extinguished, and the old man's face showed a trace of melancholy of memory.

The bottom of the pond slowly seeped upward, the cold river water gradually did not reach the ankles, the weight of nine catties looked down at the gradually rising water level, and glanced at the old man smoking a pipe, he was not a big-headed fish, the true spirit of the old man was a drooping old Chinese pastoral dog, the kind of pipe with his front paws crossed and crooked.

This is one of the reasons why the weight of nine catties is unwilling to maintain the state of the true spirit pupil every day, and the image of the true spirit is not serious enough many times, and it is like a walking emoji.

"Heavy classmate, if the true spirit image you see has no actual ontology, it comes from the earth's native culture and your life experience."

What you see is what you think.

... Belch...... weighs nine pounds, and after a while, I feel that this reminder of the dead guide is like scolding.

"What's the matter with those big-headed fish, the villagers in this village are not human?"

This time, the Death Guide immediately gave an answer, "No, strictly speaking, they're just another human race in the human category. ”

Thinking about it carefully, most of the bighead fish that weighed nine catties were young, and many of them looked like they were only in their teens or twenties.

"That's an alien-Earth hybrid?"

Again, the dead guide gave a negative answer, "No." ”

"Cross-species hybrids?" Weighing nine catties, a picture of a person and a big koi suddenly appeared in his mind, hugging and loving each other.

True love is not guilty, since gender and age are not a problem, it is not impossible to broaden the scope of mate selection across species, she is more open-minded.

"It's not."

The dead guide negates the triple.

"And what are they?"

"Let us go, please, I won't say anything."

"Really, I swear, I don't say anything, we don't know anything, let us go."

It is likely that there are naturally formed caves and grottoes underneath that connect the inland ponds to the river, and the water level is constantly rising, and it is now down to the calf.

The water temperature is cold and biting.

On the other side, the water level in the large pond rose a little more slowly, and a pool of naked people gradually woke up.

The dreamers woke up, the dream dissipated, and although they were out of the dream, their bodies did not immediately wake up from sleep, but it was only a matter of time before they woke up with the current of water.

Judging from the number of people in the pool, the number of scavengers pretending to be villagers at the ferry crossing was about 20 at that time.

The true spirits of those people are varied, but none of them are big-headed fish.

"If you hadn't woken up suddenly, you would have arrived at Wuyatou Mountain at this time, and there might still be a glimmer of life, if you want to blame these two people who woke up first." The old man took a puff of his cigarette and said this deliberately.

The blockage in the mouth of the middle-aged man surnamed Ge was torn open, "Don't let Lao Tzu go up and kill you." ”

The Chen couple were frightened, "The legend is true, you really raised a man-eating monster?" ”

"Nonsense." The old man scolded, his expression was solemn and he suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, the sacrifice is about to begin, and you may not necessarily die, in the end, it depends on how the river god decides." ”

What the hell is a river god?

"Don't worry, no one in the village eats human flesh, so you can do it yourself."

What about those who aren't human? weighs nine pounds, and he can't rest assured when he hears this.

"Why are you running to tell us this?" Weighing nine pounds, I don't understand the meaning of this operation. "Have you really seen the river god?"

"Of course I do." The old man's body trembled slightly when he heard this, as if he had thought of something, and the hand holding the pipe trembled slightly, shaking off a lot of smoke and sparks.

The old man looked at the eyes weighing nine catties, and for some reason he only felt a chill in his heart, and instinctively avoided her eyes, "Don't worry, wait a little longer, you can all know." ”

"What does he mean by that?"

Team Zhang shrugged, he didn't know either.

"Hmm"

"Hmm...... What's going on? ”

"Did the ship sink?"

"Which one are you, don't be a fool!"

"Lao Tzu's clothes are gone!"

The people in the big pond next door finally woke up.

The man whose hands and feet were tied could only struggle in vain in the water, and this time it was really like a swollen and tumbling meat-filled dumpling in the boiling water, fluttering blindly.

Captain Zhang leaned sideways to block the sight of the nine-pound man.

"It's time for the sacrifice, I'll make a long story short." The old man who smoked the pipe did not say to a few people weighing nine pounds this time, but took out a big horn and patted it a few times.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

The sound spread throughout the village, and the villagers cooperated with the shouting "Hear, hear." ”

"Okay." The old man crossed Erlang's legs, took a puff of his pipe, and then picked up the horn and continued, "Don't be afraid, don't panic, we have no ill will." ”

This time, it was clear that the speaker was not the villagers, but the people who had been thrown into the pond.

Fools don't believe what they say.

"Welcome to Dukou Village, we are a small village with a long history, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and don't want to leave, I want to tell you a good news, there will be lucky people among you who may become a member of our village, please keep your faith and work hard to live for this goal."

The crowd "......"

it!

Your uncle's!

I'll go to your ancestors for eighteen generations!

A group of innocent and arrested scavengers, all kinds of curses from ancient and modern China and foreign countries rolled in their hearts!

The old man who weighed nine pounds and looked at the old man who was shouting sincerely, understood one thing, the people in this village had a different way of thinking, and it could not be inferred from common sense.

One after another, the villagers came to the edge of the big pond and stood in a row, and the village chief undoubtedly occupied the C position.

The village chief stood in the center of the front row, and a group of big-headed fish neatly watched the unclothed scavengers in the pond as the water level gradually increased.

On the other side, the pond is still pushing people into the water, compared to the small pond where the weight of nine pounds and a few people belong to the baby area, the big pool next door belongs to the ten-meter jumping pool, which is more than ten meters deep, the stone wall is smooth and covered with moss, and the awakened people struggle to climb up and keep falling, raising their heads and shouting.

All kinds of curses and cries came from the bottom of the pond, but the villagers were completely unaffected, but looked extremely excited.

"What the hell are they trying to do?"

"Death guide, isn't there any other hint for this mission, at least tell me the goal of the mission, whether it is to rescue the scavengers, or capture the villagers, or investigate the origin of species, don't you say how do I know what to do next?" Heavy nine pounds, a little anxious in his heart.

Things are getting weirder and weirder, and it's confusing.

At present, it seems that the way of thinking of these big-headed fish is unusual, and it has gone beyond the category of ordinary humans.

"Classmate Chong, you misunderstood, it was never me who issued the task, I just assisted you in learning to become a tutor for the qualified trainee Grim Reaper."

"So you don't know either?"

"Yes."

At this time, the village chief stood on the edge of the large pond and raised his hands, and the villagers who were shouting excitedly immediately fell silent.

"The river god has given me a new life."

As soon as the village chief's words fell, all the villagers knelt on their knees.

I saw that everyone washed off the black ointment on their faces, revealing their true faces.

The nine-pound gaze swept over the kneeling villagers, and soon found that the little stammering who could build dreams was also among the kneeling villagers.

It may have been maintaining the dream of many people for a long time, and the little stammerer who had just escaped from the dream looked extremely weak, and he regretted that he didn't open his eyes to see his true spirit at that time.

Otherwise, it would not be after being dragged into a dream to realize that there is something wrong with this ferry village.

At this time, it was only clear that the faces of these villagers were more or less the shadow of fish, many of them had fish scales on their necks and cheeks, and they had no ears and were replaced by gills, some people took off their hats to expose the fins on the top of their heads, and some people could not separate the five fingers of their palms and grew fish webs.

The younger the villagers, the more obvious the fish characteristics become.

The eyes of the people floating on the surface of the pool were even more apprehensive.

"Monster"

"The people in this village are all monsters"

The Chen couple and Xiao Xiaohua, who also saw this scene, were also frightened, and several people shook their heads, "No, dreaming, you must still be dreaming." ”

"Yes, it's a dream."

The villagers didn't care about this, and many of the children even showed pity.

There is a sense of contempt at the top of the food chain.

The village chief stepped forward and faced the villagers, saying something weighing nine pounds and not understanding a word, knowing that it was a dialect, but the accent was too heavy and the speed of speech was too fast, and it was extremely unfriendly to outsiders.

What is the use of knowing foreign Chinese, what about understanding alien languages, at this moment it is not because it does not understand the dialect and becomes deaf, and the heavy accent dialect that weighs nine pounds like bird language can only stare silently.

After a while, the villagers who were kneeling on the ground stood up, their eyes reverently and eagerly looking at the group of naked humans in the pond, full of eager anticipation.

"Look."

Weighing nine catties, he bowed his head at Team Zhang's signal, only to see that there were more fine black creatures in the clear and turquoise water, which looked like fish fry, rushing into the pool along the open sluice, more and more.

"What's that?"

The pond is filled with not only water, but also the creatures in it.

A large number of small fish poured up from the sluice gate and rushed down the current to the people in the pool.

Fish therapy?

Especially the passengers in the big pond have been completely surrounded by small fish at this moment.

In just a few minutes, the pond was full, but instead of drowning, the people with their hands and feet were gradually coming to the surface, even those who could not swim.

The people in the water are the same as the rice planted in the water, straight and straight, and only the human head is exposed.

The situation of a few people weighing nine pounds is the same.

Heavy Jiujin tilted his head, a little itchy, and the little fish began to swim up the body along the soles of his feet, until he reached his chest, and the black pressure on the turquoise water pressed a small black shadow together.

People don't dare to shout casually anymore, for fear that when they open their mouths, the small fish that jump out of the water from time to time will fall into their mouths.

The air was instantly quiet and frightened.

"Before eating, wash it and massage it, is the next step to marinate the seasoning?" When he was surrounded by fish, he weighed nine pounds, and the first thought that came to his mind was like this.

The people in the small pond were still wearing clothes, and even so, the feeling of those small fish clinging to their bodies was still creepy, and you can imagine how the people in the pond opposite were feeling at this moment.

The turquoise waters of the large pond reveal human heads with panicked faces, and when you move your eyes to the water, you can see the dense gathering of fish and supporting everyone.

The village chief stood up and spoke again, this time no longer in a heavy accent dialect like a mantra

"These people struggle to survive outside the village, they can't adapt to the world, and they don't have the blessings of the river gods like us.

But it doesn't matter, we can help them, as long as any of them can pass the test of the river god, they will have the blessings of the river god as we do, become a member of our village, and become the children of the river god. ”

"Who else is willing to enter the Divine Pool to be tested by the river god now?"

As soon as the words fell, some villagers stood up one after another.

The villagers who came out stripped off their clothes and jumped into the pool in full view of everyone, and soon the fish covered their bodies with only their heads exposed.

This wave of operations made all the trapped passengers more and more panicked, and they couldn't help but cry, it's over, this time it's not just a monster but also a neurotic monster, to suffer.

"Did you notice that the villagers who entered the water had no obvious fish characteristics, and there must be a connection between them."

Heavy nine pounds saw Team Zhang's message and nodded, "I think so too." None of the villagers who jumped into the pool were big-headed fish, and she didn't believe it to say that it didn't matter.

"Bless the river god."

"Bless the river god."

The villagers stood up and walked to the pond with a reverent face, and the village chief bit his fingers, and the blood collected on his fingertips and dripped into the water, and the bright red blood fell into the water one by one.

After dripping blood, they stand in a line again until the last villager also drips blood into the pool.

The village chief picked up the cup on the table, filled it with water from the pool and drank it.

Rotate it again.

"May the river god bless you."

The small pool where several people weighed nine pounds was disgusted, and no one came to drip blood and drink water.

It seems that I don't plan to give them a chance to receive the blessing of the river god, which is really a relief.

The village chief glanced at them, "Leave two people to watch them." ”

After the ritual, the villagers got up one by one and left.

"That's the end of it?" The crowd didn't know why.

Weighing nine catties, he looked at the human heads emerging from the water in the big pool next door, these people were pierced with small wounds, and it was difficult to bleed to death, but what special effects these small fish had for a while I couldn't tell.

We'll have to look again.

Team Zhang obviously also had such a plan, "When those people are far away, we will find a way to evacuate." ”

When the villagers walked away, there were only three people left, two of whom were not very old, and only one was not a big-headed fish.
