Chapter 015: The Mule

Looking at the way he muttered there, I knew that this kid was really a careful eye for revenge, but I didn't care, the days to come will be long.

Squinting at the big gold chain, I wanted to ask him if it was real, but when I thought about it, it was a very interesting idea. If that thing were real, I'd be treated like a wretched person who hadn't seen the world, and if it was fake, I'd have to get into a little trouble at this juncture.

Yes, there is often nothing to communicate with a wrongdoer, thinking of this, I had no choice but to avoid the little black fat man to see Jin Jiuye.

Jin Jiuye walked in front, and together with the old man, and the villagers who walked with him, he found out that the old man turned out to be the old secretary of this place, the number one who had just retired. And they were not very vague about the purpose of coming to us, and after a symbolic greeting of three or two sentences, they effortlessly set up a little clue.

"Here we are, dead people." The villager who spoke to me sighed softly, then glanced at the rest of the people and lowered his voice and said carefully: "This little brother, since you can do things by Jin Jiuye's side, you must also be a big man with some means, I won't hide it from you, what I encountered this time is really tricky." ā€

"Oh?" As soon as he heard this, as a newcomer, he couldn't help but feel a little big, and the little black fat man snorted coldly when he saw this, "Isn't it just a water monkey, what's the big deal." ā€

I cĒŽo, hearing him say this, I was not happy at the time, I just asked him and he said that he didn't know what to do here, so a "water monkey" appeared after such a while?!

Wait, what is a "water monkey"?

I thought about it, and cast a puzzled look at Jin Jiuye, who was walking in front, Jin Jiuye, who had been whispering to the old secretary, saw me waving his hand and ignored him, at this time, the little black fat man pushed me and said while walking: "No culture, the water monkey is a kappa, that is, you often call the water ghost, because he looks like a monkey, we all call him that, this thing, the ability on the ground is not as good as a four or five-year-old child, but once you get into the water, your ability is great." ā€

"Are you sure?"

As soon as I heard this, I narrowed my eyes in disbelief, and when the little fat saw that I questioned him, he felt annoyed and angry, "Isn't it, just ask them!" ā€

"Stop yelling, why isn't it over yet!?"

Seeing that the two of us were going to fight again, Jin Jiuye frowned and stood still, taking this opportunity I ran forward to spit out the question in my heart, but the old man standing on the side took over first: "What kind of kappa?" Not a kappa! It's a water ghost! I've seen a kappa before, the skull of that thing is bare, but this one has hair! ā€

As soon as these words came out, I was stunned, not only me, but even the little black fat man stared at the old man with his eyebrows twisted for a long time.

"What, don't believe it, let me tell you, don't look at the old man, I'm old, but when I was young, I was a soldier in the army. I remember very well what happened at that time, it was on the edge of the Yellow River, and our mules were drinking water by the river, and no one expected that at this time, the mule suddenly went crazy, and in one fell swoop, a big monkey-like thing was lifted out of the water

That big monkey-like thing, how long can it be, and it's covered in that kind of pimples and scales, oops, don't say it, I'll take you to see the scene first, and then, eat. ā€

The old man spoke, as if he remembered some unbearable memory, and pulled Jin Jiuye to make a gesture of invitation, and walked towards the pond downstream of the reservoir with his hands behind his back.

Halfway through this story, it was really uncomfortable to hold back, but looking at his appearance, you can know that this guy is a stubborn old man with a strange temper, this kind of person, if he doesn't want to tell it, there is no way to beg him.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be discouraged, but I didn't think that the uncle next to us patted us on the shoulder and retold us what happened at that time, he said that this story was also told by the old man, and the details may be different, plus the correction of the people who looked like the village cadres next to him, and the general context was formed.

Actually, there are two stories here, one is about the kappa in the old man's mouth, and the other is the water ghost I really want to catch.

Kappa is famous in Japan, and it originated in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin.

According to the records in the "Youming Lu", this creature is called "Water Worm", also known as "Worm Child" or "Water Spirit", about 60 cm to 1 meter tall, weighs about 45 kg, looks like a child between 3 and 10 years old, looks like a human, but also like an ape. It smells bad and has mucus on it.

This bear thing is also one of the higher creatures in Japanese mythology, with the beak of a bird, the limbs of a frog, the body of a monkey and the shell of a turtle, and the "dragon" is like a synthesis of a variety of animals, more awesome than the dragon is that the **thrust of this thing is very strong, a fart can collapse itself into the sky, and some people say that there is a depression on its head, which can hold water, and the water in it represents its energy and life, as long as the water flow inside dries up its mana is gone.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were not as many mechanized troops as there are now, and species like mules still bear the important task of operating in the mountains, one day the troops rested in the tributaries of the Yellow River, and the mules themselves ran to the river to drink water, and there was nothing unusual in the process of drinking water, but when the mule turned around and came back, he was suddenly pulled by something.

It should also be that Xiao Er's bad luck, accidentally pulled on the hind legs of the mule, and before the things in the river could be murdered, he was thrown ashore by a legendary "back kick".

According to the old man's description, the thing was covered with scales, with claws, and there were "webs" on the paws for paddling, and it moved relatively quickly, and the mule kicked not lightly, but it didn't kill the thing, and everyone was stunned and it got up and ran into the river, but fortunately, a recruit caught him with a net, and everyone didn't know what kind of monster it was, so he immediately hung on the tree, and beat the little monster into honeycomb coal with a random shot.

One of the two hundred and five said that this thing might be a great thing, and he heard that an old lady in an island country in East Asia lived for hundreds of years because she ate a small monster caught in the river. They want to eat this thing, maybe they can live forever, the warriors at that time were also superstitious, and they really cooked that thing after discussing it, but as a result, it is difficult to say whether there is immortality, but it is true that vomiting and diarrhea are real.
