Chapter 227: The Yellow River Affair

Seeing that Lao Wu's expression and tone didn't look like lying, I realized that maybe there was a purpose in catching the drought king to drink.

Wei Lingzhi also took a sip of wine and explained with a smile: "Didn't I tell you!" The Drought King has a very sensitive sense of smell, and it is timid and cautious by nature, especially afraid of people, so once they smell the breath of the human body, they will drill into the dirt hard, and when the time comes, they will find it, this thing is not very good at swimming, but it is good at digging. ”

I seemed to understand what he meant.

"Drinking alcohol to disguise the smell of people?"

"That's right! On the one hand, it is to hide the smell of the body, and of course there is another reason, that is, the eight kings of drought like the smell of fermented grain, that is, the smell of old wine. ”

Now I finally get it all.

Quickly picked up the wine glass and drank half of it in one gulp.

Immediately, the three of them pushed their glasses and drank them, and after a few glasses of wine, Wei Lingzhi's words also increased.

After three glasses of wine, I only felt hot all over my body, especially my lower abdomen, as if there was a small fireball burning.

While the wine was strong, I asked again.

"Uncle Wei, you are ...... Tell me, what exactly are you preparing? ”

Wei Lingzhi's face was already flushed, and he smiled and pointed to the two black jars under the table on one side: "Actually, I've already told you - I have prepared a few jars of old wine and millet soaked in sesame oil, these two things are its favorites." ”

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard that he was preparing this thing.

I've already drunk two glasses, and looking at the capacity of this glass, there must be three or four taels, which is far more than my alcohol capacity.

But Wei Lingzhi said that he still had to drink until every pore in his body emitted the smell of alcohol.

I had no choice but to continue drinking, and the three of us continued to drink while chatting, until in the end my tongue was bigger.

Among the three people, Lao Wu had the best amount of wine, and at this time, his face was just a little ruddy, and he still didn't talk much.

Wei Lingzhi was also drunk and hazy, and he talked obviously more.

"Xiao Ding! How much do you know about the Yellow River? ”

Wei Lingzhi asked me with a grin.

"How old I am, I don't know how many things I know."

I wasn't drunk enough to be confused, and when I heard him say this, I naturally knew that I shouldn't do it at this time, but lured him to say what was next.

"In the sixties, there was a People's Liberation Army truck-sized Wang Ba in the Yellow River, and the local garrison sent hundreds of people, using the most advanced crane at that time, and also made a set of pulley equipment, and finally caught Da Wang Ba, but unfortunately I don't know what the reason was, Da Wang Ba disappeared mysteriously."

"Missing? What does it mean to be missing? ”

After Wei Lingzhi took a big sip of wine, he shook his head: "No one knows, and then it came to a period of ten years of turmoil, and no one dares to ask about this kind of thing, let alone mention it casually." ”

I deliberately ridiculed him: "How can there be such a big king in the Yellow River, I guess it's bragging!" ”

Wei Lingzhi slapped the table, and his voice rose: "What is this!" In the 70s, it seems that it was 76 or 77 years, when a section of the Yellow River embankment was built in Shanxi, an excavator dug out a huge cave, and a big white snake more than 20 meters long crawled out of it, which was as thick as an urn for water in the countryside. ”

"So big? Wouldn't it be fine? ”

"That's right! At that time, the foreman was a strong temper, did not listen to the advice of the old people in several nearby villages, and directly asked the workers to use an excavator to shovel the snake into three sections. ”

"Such a big dead snake, just abandoned in the wilderness?"

Wei Lingzhi smiled coldly: "Things have just begun!" When they came to the construction site again the next day, they found that the snake's corpse was gone, and the ground was full of zigzag marks, all of which had disappeared from the edge of the Yellow River. ”

My curiosity was aroused again, and I hurriedly asked, "It can't be something that eats the corpse of the big snake, right?" ”

"Eat?" Wei Lingzhi glanced at me with the eyes of a fool, "More than thirty meters long, the urn is so thick, even ten wolves can't eat it all, and there are no large beasts of wolves and tigers in Shanxi in the seventies." ”

"Where did the snake's corpse go?"

"This is only speculation left so far - a few old local farmers carefully looked at the strange traces on the ground, saying that this is left by snake crawling, if these old farmers are right, it must have appeared thousands of snakes overnight, using the principle of ants to carry food, relying on the collective strength of all snakes to 'carry' the big snake into the river."

"How many snakes are there?"

"At that time, they didn't take it too seriously, who knew that a few days later, all the workers involved in this incident had accidents, in short, all kinds of tragic deaths! There are two who didn't die, but they both became fools, and it's better to live than to die! ”

"What about the foreman?"

"The boy was killed on the construction site by a big rock that rolled down from the construction site."

I drank the last sip of wine in my glass: "Count him as the mastermind, and he died so painfully, but he was cheaper." ”

"Cheap?" Wei Lingzhi sneered, "Then you haven't finished listening to this story yet." ”

"When everyone is dead, shouldn't it be over?"

"This boy was less than forty years old when he died, and his daughter-in-law was three or four months pregnant, and five or six months after he died, he gave birth to a boy, but do you know what this boy looks like?"

I put down my glass, thinking that if I took another sip, I would immediately get drunk and unconscious.

"Kid! When I was born, I looked pretty much the same, and I was pretty ugly. ”

Wei Lingzhi smiled coldly again, shaking his head like a rattle.

"What? That can give birth to a child with two heads! ”

"Not really, it's just that the child was born with a disability, and his legs are together, like a snake's tail! And his tongue was thin and long, with a fork in the middle, which was clearly the tongue of a snake. ”

"Snake Baby?"

"Sort of!"

I still want to ask for more details, and Lao Wu, who was sitting opposite me, slapped the table: "It's almost time, let's act!" ”

Wei Lingzhi nodded, he could see that he had a lot of respect for Lao Wu, probably based on his admiration for his ability!

Wei Lingzhi asked me to hold a jar of millet, he carried two jars of wine, and the three of them went straight to the edge of the stinky puddle, Lao Wu and Wei Lingzhi muttered a few words, then chose a place, put things in one place, and then the three of them walked to a place more than twenty meters away and hid.

After crouching down, I glanced at my phone, and it was already 11:35 at night.

I waited for nearly two hours, and just as I was bored and wanted to pull out my phone again, the hand that was suddenly stretched out into my pocket was pressed by Lao Wu.

I was startled, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the "trap" that had been placed, and saw two dark brown Wang Ba the size of four carats of paper slowly crawling towards the two jars of wine and millet.

This is the Eight Drought Kings? It seems that the eight kings in the world all look similar.

Looking behind me, there were two more people climbing up on the edge of the puddle, probably like the mandarin ducks, they all acted in pairs.
