Chapter 62: This Village Is Poisonous
When Chen Xuan returned home, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and he had called his parents before, saying that his classmates were hospitalized to take a look, so his parents were not worried. Of course, Chen Xuan would not tell them what happened in the hospital, so they would not have to worry about it.
Back in the room, the conch girl was not playing a drama, she was still hiding in the snail, Chen Xuan called her a few times, but there was no response, it seemed that she was frightened by General Sparrowtail.
"General Sparrowtail hasn't come back yet. Chen Xuan was a little worried, not worried about General Birdtail's safety, but worried that he would be found outside, and he didn't know what was going on.
Chen Xuan took a bath, and then while cultivating, he waited for General Sparrowtail.
As a result, I waited all night and didn't wait. The next morning, when Chen Xuan went out for a run, he heard a buzz in the village, talking about something.
"Several ships that went to sea sank inexplicably, and there were several knife marks on the bottom of the ship. ”
"It seems that the last time Lei Jianshu's ship sank, it was really not Ah Xuan's doing. ”
"What's going on, is there a water ghost?"
"What nonsense, it's just some ferocious fish. ”
Chen Xuan saw a group of people surrounding a few small boats on the beach, stopped and asked, "Uncle Ming, Uncle Li, what are you talking about, why did the boat sink, are you okay?"
"It's just strange, several small boats in the village suddenly sank, but fortunately it was near the sea, and the people were fine. Looking at the traces on the bottom of the ship, I don't know how it came about. Chen Yingming said.
Chen Xuan looked down and saw that there were several smooth cracks on the bottom of several small boats, as if they had been cut by sharp weapons. Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, it was not easy to cut the bottom of the boat like tofu like this, this trace reminded him of General Sparrowtail.
"No, didn't he go out to investigate, he has already returned?But even if he is back, why do you want to make a move on the boat if he has nothing to do?" Chen Xuan was puzzled in his heart, and decided to go home to see if General Sparrowtail had returned, but from a distance, he saw something suddenly jumping onto the shore from the sea, it was a very large Sparrowtail Mantis Shrimp.
"General Sparrowtail, it can't be that you sank those ships, right?" Chen Xuan ran over and asked.
"Hmph. The passerback mantis shrimp suddenly turned into a big man and snorted coldly.
"It's really you, why are you doing such a thing?" Chen Xuan wondered.
"You humans, fishing for marine life is really excessive, and there are also mantis shrimps, which you call Pipi shrimp, which seems to be very popular. General Sparrowtail said coldly.
Chen Xuan was dumbfounded, recalling that there were indeed a few pipi shrimp scattered on those sunken ships, it turned out that it was because of this. If you think about it, they were taken to the nest by the squid spirit before, and they ate all kinds of fish and shrimp, but there seemed to be no squid, clownfish, blue hanging fish, etc., none of which were of the same type as them.
"General, we humans also live on this, and besides, none of the marine creatures they salvaged are from the East China Sea, nor are they sperm, so you just turn a blind eye. If I really can't bear it, I'll tell them to let Pipi Shrimp go in the future. Chen Xuan persuaded, thinking that he would have to pay them some money when he turned back, otherwise he would not go. I didn't sink their ship myself, but General Sparrowtail brought it out himself.
As he was talking, suddenly there was a sound in the distance, and when he looked at the sound, he saw several big ships coming over, Lei Jianshu and others were at the bow, he was commanding the fleet, and it seemed that he wanted to salvage a few sunken ships.
"Poof!" Chen Xuanzheng was stunned, only to hear a pop, and when he turned his head, General Birdtail was gone, and there was a wave on the sea.
Chen Xuan secretly said that it was not good, but it was too late to do something, and after less than ten seconds, several large ships in the distance began to sink one after another, and there was a commotion on board.
"Evil!" Chen Xuan rubbed his temples.
"Holy, what's going on?" Lei Jianshu was already going crazy, he had sunk four ships before, and he had already suffered heavy losses, but the ship that came to salvage suddenly sank inexplicably. Moreover, this time it was even more weird, the bottom of the ship directly broke a few smooth cracks, what kind of creature could make it like this? Not to mention seeing Chen Xuan on the shore, even if he didn't see it, he wouldn't think it was Chen Xuan who did it this time, because this is not something that human beings can do.
"Boss, do you still want to send a boat to salvage?" On the lifeboat, Lei Jianshu was like a chicken in soup, and a crew member asked.
"Still send? Isn't it too much to sink? These boats are not wanted, give them them, this village is poisonous. Lei Jianshu was about to go crazy and walked away.
Seriously, this time even Chen Xuan felt a little sorry for Lei Jianshu, last time it was Lei Jianshu who was wrong, he deserved it, but this time people just came to salvage their own shipwreck, and they didn't do anything hurtful, it was purely a disaster.
"Whoa" A passerling-tailed mantis shrimp jumped ashore, Chen Xuan hurriedly took him back to the room, and said cautiously, "General, let's make it clear that we can't do this kind of thing again in the future, otherwise we will cut it in two, and I will no longer trade with you." ”
When he said this, Chen Xuan's confidence was not enough, because he was actually not a true disciple of the Zhantan Meritorious Buddha, and General Birdtail might not need him so much.
General Sparrowtail was silent for a moment and said, "At least, they can't catch mantis shrimp, otherwise I'll see one sink one." However, you don't have to worry about losing your life, I will only leave after making sure everyone is safely ashore. ”
"I'll try my best, but let's have something to discuss, don't be so radical, okay?" Chen Xuan had a headache, he didn't expect General Sparrowtail to be so noisy.
Chen Xuan took some money and went to a few villagers who had sunk the ship, ready to compensate them, but they refused to accept it, saying that it had nothing to do with Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan didn't know how to explain it, and finally came up with only one solution, which was to further expand the fish farm so that the whole village could join. They heard that fish farms even have rat spots, and the potential is huge, but fishing by the sea is becoming more and more unprofitable, so they readily agreed.
The news of the fish farm soon spread in the village, and they all heard about Chen Xuan's hot pot restaurant, fish farm, and pet shop, and they all heard about how well Chen Xuan is mixing now, and they saw it in their eyes, so more people joined the fish farm.
Obviously, Chen Xuan intends to lead the whole village to a well-off or even wealthy rhythm, and when it comes to Chen Xuan, the villagers all give a thumbs up.
After everything was done, Chen Xuan returned to the holiday, lay on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "General, you went out to investigate all night, did you get anything?"
"Gained, I found a mark left by his subordinates, he should be in Lingyun City, but that mark has been too long, it is badly damaged, the information is incomplete, I can't determine his location, I left a new mark, he will come to me when he sees it, other than that, I seem to have found a clue to a goblin. General Sparrowtail spoke.
