Volume 1 Morning and Twilight Chapter 162 The strange fish in the water is menacing
"Miss, this matter is finally over, but I heard that there is a bloody storm in the capital. On weekdays, some dignified officials were greedy for a lot of gold and silver, and Long Yan was furious and cut off the heads of many corrupt officials. ”
Wen Yuan didn't think there was anything to it, "How can there be people who don't get their shoes wet when they walk by the river, do you think that there are only those corrupt officials at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" Some people can't move, and the truth that the whole body is affected by a move, and the emperor knows better than us. ”
"I heard of an adult who was so frightened that he had heart palpitations and died of fright."
Yo? And this kind of thing? Wen Yuan heard it for the first time, and immediately became interested, "Who?" ”
"Miss, you must know, Lord Yushi Shen." It turned out to be him...... Then it is not surprising.
This person doesn't know how to be cautious when doing things on weekdays, but Wen Yuan didn't expect him to be so timid that he was scared to death directly.
Chunhua continued: "I heard that the imperial court has collected a lot of silver from the homes of those officials, and it has been filled into the treasury, and it seems that there are many adults who are about to be promoted."
"Regardless of them, let's just live our free lives here anyway."
But this peaceful day is destined not to last long.
And the free days in Wen Yuan's mouth also ended completely after five days.
It was the rainy season, and it rained heavily for five days.
Flying Flower City is low and surrounded by mountains, so it is easy to cause water accumulation and landslides.
Wen Yuan looked at the heavy rain like a pouring force, and secretly worried in his heart, "How can this be good, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the people in the city will be in trouble......"
"Miss, it's not good, the river is rising, and now it has spread to the streets, and now the low-lying places in the city have been flooded, go and take a look!" News came from the outside from the spring.
Wen Yuan thought for a while, and hurriedly summoned all the secret guards in the princess's mansion, "You follow me, there must be a lot of people affected by the disaster outside now, can you save one is a person who knows?" ”
The place where her princess's mansion was located was some distance from the center of the crowded city, and the terrain was high, so the water had not yet overflowed her.
By the time Wen Yuan and his people arrived, half of the houses there had been flooded, "How could it be so ......serious?"
Some sat on the rooftops of their homes waiting for help, but many more may have been washed away.
"First find a way to get the surviving people to safety."
The current situation Wen Yuan is not the most worried, what she is most worried about is the plague after the rainstorm is over...... If it happens, it will kill a lot of people.
A day later, the rain gradually subsided, but the ground was still unclean.
Wen Yuan took her own people to dredge the river in person, but she didn't expect that there was something more powerful waiting for her.
"Huh! Look! The ripples of this water are so abnormal! ”
A group of people looked in the direction pointed by the woman, and the river had long since turned the yellow of the earth, and it was impossible to see what was under the water, but it was true that the abnormality of the water surface could be seen.
The man was not surprised, "When the water rises, there will be some big fish that are rarely seen, what is unusual." ”
Where they were, they couldn't really see what was going on in the water, but the people on the hill who were in charge of observing their surroundings could see clearly.
The man listened to the big fish in the water below, and looked down with curiosity.
The strange ripples on the surface of the water seemed to indicate that there was some strange creature underwater, and when he looked closely, he only saw a row of black scales floating out of the water, and the scales were the size of a man's palm, and he could imagine how big a fish it was.
I wanted to explain the situation to the people below, but before the man could speak, the black strange fish exposed its head to the water.
The group didn't notice that the fish's snout was very prominent, very different from ordinary fish, and a big mouth full of sharp teeth, the man had a bad heart, and quickly let the underwater people come ashore, "Come up!" The strange fish in the water are approaching you! Come on! ”
But the people below couldn't hear him clearly, and thought that he was also communicating with them when he saw the strange appearance of the water.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" The people below chimed in.
A woman next to him approached him and asked, "Did you hear what he said?"
"Nope."
"And you answer so like?!"
"Hold on."
The woman gave her a thumbs up, or are you more powerful, brother.
Before the people above could rush down and disperse them, the strange fish had already swam closer, and with a stretch of its tongue swept away the nearest man, "Ah! ”
Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong, "There are monsters in the water!" Get on it! Get on it! ”
But the man had already come ashore, and the thing under the water stretched out its long tongue and swept the person away, "Get out of the place near the water!" Hurry up, hurry up, go away! ”
Leaving the place near the water, a group of people were shocked, "Go, go quickly and find Princess Sunyang and report this matter to him." ”
After living in Flying Flower City for so many years, it was the first time they had seen such a long-tongued monster.
Now it seems that only Princess Sunyang can restrain this monster.
A few people came to the outside of the princess's mansion, but there were so many people gathered here that they couldn't squeeze in at all.
"What a squeeze, I know you're in a hurry, but you also have to queue up." Occasionally, if you move forward a lot, you will be told by the person in front of you.
But now is the time of the rising water, this matter can not be delayed, one of them was in a hurry, suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed, Wen Yuan noticed the situation here and asked his people to carry the man over.
But as soon as he arrived at the front, the man immediately became alive, "Princess Sunyang." He knelt on the ground and kowtowed Wen Yuan three times, "I also have no choice, please listen to what happened to me." ”
Wen Yuan frowned, thinking that there must be a reason for the incident, so he let his men go down to appease the people who were cut into the queue, and listened to him: "Just now a group of us were dredging the river by the river, and a strange fish appeared and dragged our companion into the water, and the tongue of the strange fish can stretch out!" And I saw the scales of that thing, so big and hard, that you really had to let people look at it. ”
This is not the first time Wen Yuan has heard about strange fish today, just now, there was also a man who said that he saw a big black fish in the river.
But...... This man said that his companion was swept away by a strange fish, and this should be true, Wen Yuan immediately made a decision and asked the man to follow the man to the river to see if he could find anything.
At this time, the owl also came back from the other side of the river, and he still held a scale as hard as a human tooth in his hand, "Princess, look at this...... I picked it up in the place where the water receded, and judging from the scales, there might be something in our river......"
Wen Yuan squinted at the scales on his hands, "Take your subordinates to a high place to see if there is anything strange on the surface of the river, and inform everyone not to go near the deep water area." ”
This is no small matter, and if an unknown creature does appear, it will be very dangerous for everyone.
She remembered that Chi Zhaoyue was very watery, "Ah Yue, can you go into the water and have a look?" You can also use hexism in the water, so it's relatively safe. ”
"This water is so muddy, even I can't see it clearly underwater, now it's just to concentrate the people in a high place, it seems that this is taking advantage of this big water, something new has come."
On that day, Wen Yuan moved the people to the mountain behind, there is a huge cave on the mountain, which can accommodate many people, "In order to prevent people from approaching the water's edge, everyone will take a look in this cave first, and when we find out what this is, we will repair the house for everyone, and everyone can go home." ”
Although they live in the mountains, Wen Yuan eats and drinks a little less than they do, children still have candy to eat, and even the elderly and pregnant women have eggs to eat every day.
It's just that the rain suddenly became heavy again, and Wen Yuan was worried that someone would be swept away by the strange fish again, so he sent someone to look for it every day.
But after a few days, there was no trace of the strange fish, but Wen Yuan also saw this monster hidden in the water.
Even though it's just a little dorsal fin that sticks out of the water, you can feel the size of this thing, "I've never heard of this thing......"
At least in the twenty-six years she lived, she had never heard of such a long-tongued monster fish.
One night, Shen Huaiyan found an ancient book and put it in front of Wen Yuan, "This is the mountain and river spirits recorded by the predecessors, look at this." ”
The "...... of the Eel" does record a large strange fish, and the basic description is also in line with the information that Wen Yuan and others currently have.
She continued to look through the ancient books, it was clearly written that this thing had long ceased to exist, how could it appear in Flying Flower City again, "But doesn't this say that they have long disappeared in the water?" ”
"Hiding to reproduce better, or is it really gone?"
Wen Yuan couldn't answer this question, she only knew that this kind of thing was not suitable for appearing here, "If they can't eat people, what do they feed on?" ”
"Anything that can be eaten in the water ......"
Yes, anything that can be eaten in the water, what if such a huge fish eats everything that can be eaten in the water?
It was impossible to determine how many such fish there were, and if there were so many of them, it would be difficult for Wen Yuan to imagine what irreversible damage would be done to the waters of the Dragon Kingdom.
"But we really can't be sure of the number of these strange fish, nor do we know their habits...... You can only wait for the water to recede. ”
Now there is only one way, Wen Yuan looked at Shen Huaiyan's face and suddenly left everything in front of him behind.
"What's wrong? Looking at me like this...... "They don't know that Wen Yuan has recovered his previous memories yet, if they do, Shen Huaiyan will definitely not miss this opportunity again."
Wen Yuan smiled and tilted his face to the side, "It's nothing, I just think you look a lot like someone I know, but that person seems to have slowly faded in my mind, and I gradually forgot about him." ”
