Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Reed Boy (21)

The waves crashed on the shore, the cold wind was blowing, and some people began to retreat.

Suddenly there was a movement on the surface of the water.

As the tide gets higher and higher, the fishy smell on the shore makes many things that go out at night want to move.

Just as everyone held their breath and couldn't take their eyes off it, something suddenly rose up in the turbulent river.

Through the bright moonlight, the thing was clearly visible, a sharp, slender claw with long hair, coming out of the river!

Suddenly, the thing had already climbed onto the stone on the shore, and everyone looked at it intently, and they all gasped.

How can there be such an ugly thing in the world!

I saw that the thing was lying on the ground, with long hair all over its body, and its sharp claws were as sharp as knives, which could crush the stones under its feet, and it was crawling towards the dead fish on the shore, revealing a face as black as carbon, and its face was full of long hair, and behind the hair, a pair of red pupils flashed with a cold gaze, like a hellish ghost!

The most frightening thing is its mouth full of fangs, thin and long in the moonlight, and there is blood flowing from its mouth, which is terrifying to watch.

The thing crawled to the shore, grabbed the dead fish and chewed it with its fangs, and the flesh fell out of the teeth, mixed with the foul smell of its body, which was disgusting!

A few timid villagers were directly frightened and fainted, and the rest were trembling and ran away if they wanted to.

Who would have thought that this river, which has relied on hundreds of years, would actually live like a ghost.

Zhou Zhonglin was the calmest of them all, and he was about to go out with his harpoon to fight the unknown thing.

The silent young man on the side suddenly moved, he ghostly walked towards the bloody thing that he was eating, the cold breath made the thing raise its head vigilantly, and the moment he saw Lan Qing, the thing suddenly let out a baby-like cry, and his pupils burst out with intense fear.

It dropped the fish in its hand, turned around and jumped into the river, Lan Qing stepped on its tail with an understatement, it hung on the shore like a hanged ghost, unable to break free, only screamed more poignantly, crying blood, in the dark night, the scalp of the listener was numb.

Zhou Zhonglin ran to Lan Qing's side with a harpoon, and saw the appearance of the monster clearly, even a big man like him broke out in a cold sweat.

"W-what is this?"

Lan Qing took the harpoon from his hand, aimed it at the monster's head, forked it down, and stuck the head of the thing to the top, before he said expressionlessly: "Water monkey."

"What?"

Lan Qing stopped talking, let go of his foot, and the monster that had been inserted to death fell on the stone on the shore, there was no blood in his head, and a puddle of stinking black liquid flowed out, and after spreading the whole stone, the body of the thing turned into a puddle of stinky water under the light of the moon, and flowed into the river.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

It's completely beyond their imagination.

How could there be such a thing in the river? How did it come about? Why was it unheard of before?

Lan Qing returned the harpoon to Zhou Zhonglin and said lightly: "Bury the fish now, that's it for tonight."

The rest of the people have relatives: "There are monsters in this river, this monster not only eats fish, but also harms people, we are not safe here!"

"It's not going to come tonight." Lan Qing looked at the three water streaks that dissipated in the distance, and said, "You are on the shore, it is in the water, as long as you don't go into the water, it will not be able to go ashore."

Everyone looked at each other, "It's clearly not a human thing, what's weird about it that we can compete with?" ”

Lan Qing's face did not change and sneered: "It's your business to do it or not."

He turned around and was about to leave, Zhou Zhonglin went to pull him, and after pulling him out, he sneered: "This little brother, you said that the thing in this river is a water monkey, and what is this water monkey?" Is it a monster unique to the water? ”

Lan Qing saw that it was him, his face softened, and he said, "It's just some waste who has done pickled things, and after getting retribution, they still want to survive for a long time."

Zhou Zhonglin said that he didn't understand, "Can the little brother be more detailed?" ”

Lan Qing gave up, impatient, "I want to know, go and ask the old man in the village." ”

After that, he was about to leave, his eyes fell on a moving figure not far away, he coughed lightly, and looked at the trembling villagers, "Tomorrow morning, whoever has done something can come to the house to collect the money." ”

With that, he walked towards the girl who was carrying an oil lamp and wearing a Luo skirt.

Zhou Zhonglin sighed lightly, knowing that this matter was far from over, at least from the young man's words, the water monster in the river had not been completely eradicated.

However, looking at the appearance of the water monster being hung and beaten by the boy on the shore, it must be that this kind of thing can play a big role in the water.

He cheered up and organized the villagers to start cleaning up the mess, and when it was done, it was already slightly bright, and he raised his feet and walked towards the village.

This matter must be told to the village chief, and then to Liu Huawei if necessary.

The next day, after giving money to the villagers, Wen Cha took Lu Zhen out of the house, let Lan Qing hold it, and the two walked towards the river.

Liu Huawei, who returned home yesterday, is here again today.

Not only did he bring people with him, but he also brought a lot of tools.

The events of last night had been spread in the village, and the villagers stood in the reeds with palpitations, for fear that another monster would run out of the river.

After hearing the description, Liu Huawei had a calculation in his heart, standing by the river with the village chief and not knowing what to discuss, an hour later, he actually asked people to open another way at the source of the river, sparing the water source through the place of convergence and leading it to other river ditches.

"The water of this river is not dry, don't want to catch those monsters, instead of blind cats and rats here, it is better to build another plank road and see how many bones are buried at the bottom of this river!"

The village chief also found a number of people to help build a new artificial river channel to divert water into the river at the bottom, without delaying the livelihood of the rest of the village.

As for their village, there are monsters in the river, plus countless people have died over the years, what kind of fish do they catch, let's talk about monsters first.

Wen Cha stood quietly on the river beach, touched his chin and began to think about another thing, this old man Liu and his wife have done all the bad things, but they didn't expect that there would be such a caring relative as Liu Huawei to avenge them.

Zhu Dashan harbored evil intentions, but the village chief was generally not wrong with being his father.

Everything in the world has changed with different times, which is embarrassing.

Lan Qing held the umbrella, hugged Lu Zhen, glanced at her a few times, saw the faint sweat on her forehead, dragged her under the umbrella, and said softly: "I'm afraid it will take ten days and a half to open the road, and we don't need to go back."

Wen Cha nodded, took Lu Zhen from his arms, said hello to Zhou Zhonglin and walked back.

On the way, Zhu Dashan walked over with Zhou Bing, and when he saw the warm tea, Zhu Dashan's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his greasy hands and came over to brush his face, "Isn't this the tea sister of the Lu family?" I haven't seen you for a long time, do you still recognize my brother? ”

Warm tea: "......"
