"Variety?" Xiao Ai said, as if he was very confused.

"Yes, there are many kinds, and I can't even tell your master how many there are." I said, shrugging my shoulders very helplessly.

"For example?" Ding Ling heard this, but said.

"For example, we are more familiar with the kind, there are scales and horns and fangs and, the character is more ferocious called Jiaolong, no horns are called Chi dragons, horns but smaller sizes, called "Qiu", in addition, I also know that there is a winged dragon called Yinglong, back then, when Dayu ruled the water, there was this thing to help, but, in the eyes of most people, Jiaolong, dragon, Qiu, Ying Long, are not the orthodoxy of the dragon, the orthodoxy of the dragon is called Canglong. ”

"Old Dragon." Xiao Ai said, suddenly laughed, I shook my head, corrected: "It's not the old dragon, it's the green dragon, although the dragon looks very noble, but the green dragon is the main one, just like this on me." I said, rolling up my sleeves and smiling.

"Aren't you a candle nine yin, why did you become a dragon again, you liar." Ding Ling said, pouting fiercely.

"Who sued you, Candle Jiuyin is not a green dragon? This thing is not only a green dragon, but also an ancient dragon, if you want to count the generation, you can treat it as the ancestor of the dragon clan. I said, hooking the corners of my mouth and looking very proud.

"Cut, bragging." Ding Ling said, still looking unconvinced, but after thinking about it, he asked me very suspiciously, "Eh? What are you talking about, don't you want to say, this chain is really tied to something like a dragon? Ding Ling said, obviously a little surprised.

"I didn't say that, I'm telling you this, I just want to tell you that dragons don't necessarily exist. A few years ago, I heard a classmate say that in his hometown, there was a very famous incident, and it was also in the newspapers, this is the sensational dragon falling incident, you want to find it, and now you can still find relevant reports. ”

I said, patted the bull's head, and then explained to Ding Ling: "Actually, similar incidents have happened many times in China, but the ages are different, and the details are different, but if I remember correctly, similar things have happened at least five or six times." For the first time, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a book called "Seven Cultivation Manuscripts", which recorded that in the 32nd year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1162 AD), a dragon was found by Taibai Lake, with huge scales and long beards, a white belly and a green back, fins on its back, and high horns on its head, which could smell fishy from several miles away. The local people covered its body with mats, and the government even sent people to worship it in person. After a night of thunderstorms, the dragon vanished. It left a deep furrow where it had scum. ”

After that, it was the second time, that is, the Ming Dynasty, which was also recorded in that book, that is, in the last year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1487), a dragon fell on the beach in Xinhui County, Guangdong, and was beaten to death by fishermen. This dragon is about one person tall, dozens of zhang long, similar to the dragon in the painting, only the abdomen is red, and the martial arts are abnormal. After it should be the Qing Dynasty, there was a book called "Yongping Mansion Chronicles", which was a local history reading, at that time, there was a passage in it that recorded that in the summer of the nineteenth year of Daoguang (1839), there was a dragon landing in the territory of Leting County in the lower reaches of the Luan River, and the gnats were all over the body, that is, it was wrapped in mosquitoes or something, like a dead fish. The local people were amazed and built a shelter for it to shade it from the sun and constantly splashed its body with water. Three days later, on a thunderstormy night, the dragon left the place and flew into the sky, and since then, there has been no major famine in the land for ten years. ”

"Is that the dragon at work?" When Xiao Ai heard this, he hurriedly said.

"Not necessarily, it may be a coincidence, but people prefer to believe that the dragon is working." I said, smiling bitterly.

"Where did you see all this from" looked at me very suspiciously, Ding Ling asked, seeing that she was really curious, I pulled a chair and sat next to her and said to her: "Your husband, relatively poor, family conditions are not good, when you go to college, you don't have money for food, and you love face and refuse to ask your family, in order to survive, you have done all kinds of work, the librarian is one of them, you stupid girl will not understand, how to come over a boring day from morning to night, that time, I spent the rest of my time in the library except for classes, and sometimes it was the night shift. ”

As I spoke, I sighed old-fashionedly, thinking of the hard days of the year, and I really felt a little emotional.

"So, you've read a lot of books?" Xiao Ai said, thoughtful.

"Sort of, I'm sure I've seen more than you." I said, hehe, hey, hey, hey, he

"Hmph, what's the comparison with me, people haven't read a few books, how boring it is to read." Xiao Ai said, obviously a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, he patted me on the shoulder with a smile and said to me: "However, it is always good to have a master, listening to the master tell stories is more insightful than reading books." ”

"Are you making a fool of yourself?" As I spoke, I pinched Xiao Ai's nose, and then explained slowly: "However, you are right, your master knows a lot of things, such as this kind of dragon falling incident, which has not happened in recent decades, and the closest to us, in Yingkou, if you like it, you can check it yourself." ”

As I spoke, I told them about a few events that were very influential at the time, the first of which was clearly recorded in the local area.

Around that time in 1934, a farmer in Dongxiao Street on the north bank of the Liao River said that he had found a giant animal white bone in a nearby reed pond, about 10 meters long, with a corner on the left and right sides of the head, more than 1 meter long, and a total of 29 spine joints. At that time, the Yingkou No. 6 Police Station transported it to the open space near the West Customs Wharf for several days, and there was an endless stream of people who went to visit. Even the "Shengjing Times", which had some influence at that time, sent someone to interview.

In the newspaper, there is a black and white photo with a bone grown, and as for the title, different versions are not the same, but, in general, the keywords are indispensable for "dragon", "dragon falling from the sky", "Yingchuan falling dragon", "giant dragon", etc.

My old classmate said that at that time, the citizens of Yingkou were vying to watch, and there was an endless stream of visitors from nearby cities, and his grandfather's grandfather went to see the excitement, because there were too many people, and the purchase of train tickets to and from Yingkou became nervous. For a time, it was regarded as a strange talk.

Later, it was reported that after seeing those things, Mr. Zhang, a teacher from the Fishing Department of Yingkou Aquatic Senior High School, judged that "this thing is indeed a Jiao".
