Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Shadow in the Water

Qin Chuan agreed, and in the afternoon, he followed the county order and went to the mouth of the river to take a look at the harmful water monster to confirm that what the county order said was true.

But there is still a little problem here, which needs to be solved, and it is not so easy to see.

First of all, of course, the water monster is not something that anyone can see if they want to, and it doesn't always show that shadow and never disperse.

Therefore, even if Qin Chuan goes, he may not be able to see it, the water monster is so coincidental, it appeared when Qin Chuan went.

Moreover, if the county order takes Qin Chuan here, it is very likely to alarm the water monster, startle the grass and snakes, and make the water monster more vigilant, and be alert to the fact that the county order is taking people to deal with it.

Of course, the county magistrate thought of these issues that needed attention, so before taking Qin Chuan there, he talked to Qin Chuan and said, "Brother Qin, this county will take you to see the water monster, of course you can, but there is another one in this, you have to listen to the county." ”

Qin Chuan is also an easy-going person, not stubborn, and said: "If you have anything to say, you can come and hear it." ”

The county commander frowned slightly, and said: "First of all, Brother Qin, you can't follow me openly, because, this is very easy to be discovered by the water monster, so as to startle the snake, the water monster will think that I am bringing someone to deal with it, in this way, it will be bad, it will definitely startle the snake, the water monster will be suspicious of me, no longer believe me, then it's over, between me and the water monster, there must be no negotiation, just like the kidnapping and ransom case, once the kidnapper is angered, the kidnapper is very likely to tear up the ticket." ”

"Makes sense." Qin Chuan nodded approvingly: "Indeed, if I follow you blatantly like this, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the water monster, so that I will be wary of you." It's not good, but how do I get there? ”

This county order has already been thought about, and said to Qin Chuan: "Brother Qin, this county has already been thought about, you don't get too close to this county, always keep a certain distance, disguise yourself as a passer-by who has nothing to do with this county, so that if you keep walking behind this county, the water monster will naturally not suspect it." ”

"I think it's okay, you're doing a good job." Qin Chuan agreed: "Then what's next?" ”

"We are like this, one after the other, to the mouth of the big river, when I get to the mouth of the big river, I will find an excuse, let the water monster show the shape to see me, it is estimated that nine times out of ten, the water monster will show a huge strange shadow, and in this way, you are not far away, naturally you can see it."

"When you see it, you will naturally believe what I say."

"Okay, since the prefectural magistrate said so, let's do what the prefectural magistrate said." Qin Chuan also agreed with this approach, and said: "The reason why I asked to take a look at the water monster you said is not because I don't trust you, but mainly because I want to understand the situation, otherwise, I won't even see the shadow of the water monster, so naturally it will be difficult to help you." Right? ”

"Brother Qin is right, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win a hundred battles, indeed, you have to go and see it with your own eyes." The county magistrate nodded, saying that it should be done, and said: "The shadow of the water monster is huge, and the scalp of the person watching it is numb, Brother Qin, I hope that this time, you can still win and save the lives of the county and the family. ”

Qin Chuan waved his hand: "Thank you or not, it doesn't matter, do you think I promised to help you in order to get your thanks?" ”

"Of course not, the reason why I am willing to help you is entirely because of your good deeds for the people of the county, not only to repair the dam, but also to face the threat of water monsters, and have no fear, respect you for being a man, so I am willing to help. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to care about your. Qin Chuan made an impatient look.

"That's that, that's." The county commander nodded again and again, groveling: "Brother Qin, you are rich, you can't spend a lot of silver, where can you see the small one with this little silver tael, but even so, the small one still has to say this, and I still have to thank him, this is a small piece of heart, gratitude." ”

"Okay, let's go and see the water monster first, whether this can be done, but it's not necessarily, don't be happy so early, in case it can't be done by then, and the gap between it and your expectations is too big, you should blame me again."

"If it can be done, it will definitely be done." The county magistrate said very firmly: "As long as Brother Qin goes out, there is nothing that cannot be done, I dare to pack a ticket!" The prefectural commander said, and raised his hand.

"Okay, okay, what kind of package ticket is blindly played," Qin Chuan came with a little disgusted expression, and said: "By the way, in the future, don't say anything about the help of a master behind me, what I have done is all done with the help of the master behind me, don't say that in the future, I will be angry when I hear it!" ”

"I know, I know, I won't say that in the future. To say that, I'm going to shut my mouth myself. The prefectural order made a gagged gesture.

"That's always okay, right?!" The county magistrate asked flatteringly.

"That's pretty much it." Qin Chuan smiled with some satisfaction.

Qin Chuan followed the county order to Dahekou.

As they said, the two people pretended not to know each other, one walked in front and the other followed behind, always keeping a certain distance in between, so as to dispel the vigilance of the water monster.

In this way, the two of them came to the mouth of the big river, to be precise, the county order came to the mouth of the big river, and Qin Chuan was still dozens of zhang away from the county order, and the two people seemed to have no relationship at all.

But even if Qin Chuan is still some distance away from the county order, if the water monster appears, Qin Chuan can still see it clearly, because after all, Qin Chuan is also standing by the river, how can he not see the huge shadow in the water?

In the afternoon, on the bank of the big river, there are still some idle people walking around, there are fishermen, some farming, and some talking about love, but because the place is relatively empty, it is full of fields, big rivers, and no one cares about the county order.

"Grandpa the water monster, the little one is here, I'm here to call you back." The county commander stood at the mouth of the big river, his voice was not loud or small, and said to the water: "What you let the small one do, the small one finally opened up after careful consideration, and decided to dismantle the dam, after all, saving one's own life is the most important thing, other people's lives, what does it have to do with me, my head let the door squeeze, to care about the life and death of others, Grandpa the water monster, you said right?" ”

Speaking of this, the prefectural order stopped, as if waiting for the water monster to current, and replied.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement on the water surface, and there was no reply.

"Grandpa the water monster? …… Monster Grandpa? The county order had no choice but to shout a few more times at the water: "You should give a reply to the little one, so that the little one has a bottom in his heart, otherwise, don't demolish the dam in the small one, you still want to harm the life of the little one, what is the small one?" ”

"Hahaha~~~!" Suddenly, several eerie laughs came from the water. This laughter is not like a human voice, but it is very close to a human voice, and to put it more clearly, it is like the strange laughter of a person with a particularly thick voice.

"There's movement, finally there's fucking movement." The county magistrate listened to this voice and was excited.

And then, what made the county order even more excited was that just after the strange laughter came out, he looked at the water, and faintly, he saw a huge humanoid figure more than ten zhang long and five or six zhang wide, which gradually appeared, rising to the water surface little by little.

However, when it rose to a certain level, it was about a person's height above the water, so it stopped, stopped rising, and made a rude voice: "Very good, you have figured it out, then go and do it, grandpa, I will not harm you if I speak!" ”

The sound was clearly coming from the mouth of the giant humanoid figure in the water, but no one could see the true face of the monster, they could only see a heavy shadow.

"What's that? Run! It's a giant water monster! Run, everybody! "Anyone who was by the river, no doubt, saw that huge humanoid figure in the water, and they looked like a water monster, so they called it a water monster.

When some people saw the huge shadow in the water, and said a few rough and unusual words, as long as it was a person, they were frightened and ran to the shore, and, while running, they also shouted and warned others, saying, "Run, everyone! There is a shadow in the water! It's so frightening! It may have to go ashore, everyone run! ”

Naturally, Qin Chuan, who was already standing on the shore and waiting, also witnessed the giant strange shadow in the water, it did look like the shape of a giant lying in the water, but he didn't turn around and run like those people, but looked at it a few more times before turning around and walking away.

"It turned out to be true, in the big river, there are really giant shadow water monsters, it seems that the world is so big, there are indeed no surprises." Qin Chuan finally believed it.

Although Qin Chuan walked away, he still did not leave, but stayed, to see what the water monster would do next? Do you really want to come ashore, or will you dive into the water?

At this time, there are only two people left on the shore, the county commander and Qin Chuan, and the others have all run away, and none of them dare to stop and look.

Soon, Qin Chuan saw that the giant figure in the water slowly sank and sank into the water, to the point where it was gradually invisible.

"It's gone." Qin Chuan looked at the giant shadow that disappeared in the water and said in his heart.

Finally saw a humanoid figure!

Back at the county commander's house, the county commander said to Qin Chuan: "Brother Qin, how is it?" I'm not lying to you, right? ”

Qin Chuan nodded, with an eye-opening feeling, and said, "Yes, there is." ”

"That's the thing, threatening me!" The county magistrate said aggrievedly: "Moreover, when there is a flood in this county, it may be that thing that is fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire, making the momentum of the flood more violent, so that many people die." ”

"If we don't eradicate it, it can be said that there will be endless troubles and disasters."

"I believe that Brother Qin has this ability, eradicate the water monster, and restore peace and tranquility to the people!"

Qin Chuan thought for a while, and said calmly: "Okay, I know, I'm in charge of this matter, tonight, I'll take action, at the latest, tomorrow morning, the water monster will be eradicated, and when the time comes, something may float up on the water surface of the big estuary, don't forget to go and see it." ”
