Chapter 65: Out to Sea

Wangyu Village is indeed very small, right on the delta of an estuary. The land is usually fertile, but they do not make a living from farming.

For fishermen near the sea, the vast East China Sea is a great treasure.

After many years of fishing life, the people of Wangyu Village have formed two big boats from zero to whole, and the young people of the village have been assigned to two boats to go to sea in turn.

Such large boats allow them to go to sea farther, fish more, and live better than the rest of the fishing villages.

But if you go far to sea, the risk will increase accordingly.

There are not only treasures in the East China Sea, but also countless weirdness.

It is well known that there are far more living creatures in the sea than on land. Correspondingly, there are more evil spirits in the sea.

And just like the eternal ocean, the evil in the deep sea is even more ancient and mysterious.

The one that happened in the small fishing village of Wangyu may be just a drop in the bucket.

But for the people of this village, it is the collapse of nearly half of the families.

So Li Chu took this matter very seriously.

After arriving at Wangyu Village, I saw that the old village chief and a group of villagers had been guarding here early.

As soon as the boat docked, it was warmly welcomed by the villagers.

The old village chief took the lead, and the villagers behind enthusiastically stepped forward to shake hands with Li Chu, especially the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the village.

said that their husband and son were turned into water monkeys, so they were looking forward to Li Chu being able to save them.

In order to appease their emotions, Li Chudu comforted them one by one.

But holding and holding, more girls ran out of the village, and the more they held it, the more people came, and then there was a long queue.

Li Chu couldn't help but ask the old village chief: "Have so many people's husbands become water monkeys?"

The old village chief blushed and coughed a few times, and drove away all the girls who came from behind.

Originally, the village also prepared a seafood feast to entertain their group.

Li Chu was a little moved by this.

After the little koi came to Deyun Temple, there was one more rule in the view.

No fish......

You can't even put fish balls in a hot pot.

So in Yuhang Town, which is adjacent to the East China Sea, their master and apprentice haven't eaten fish for a long time.

But think about it, before the arrival of the little koi, they had to eat a meat dish for half a month.

Without her, maybe there would be no Deyun Concept that is thriving today, and it would be relieved.

In this regard, Li Chu can actually understand that after any creature has spirituality, it may not be able to see its own kind being put on the table.

But it also gave him a wake-up call.

The fox girl is okay, and humans don't have the habit of eating fox meat.

In the future, they can't accept some demon slaves like pigs, cows, sheep, etc., otherwise, their Taoist temple will simply be changed to a temple.

But.

Considering the importance of saving people, Li Chu still decided that the matter of eating seafood could be postponed and go to see the water monkeys first.

The old village chief warmly invited, and seeing Li Chu's firm attitude, he had to take them to a pond outside the village first.

Because the water monkeys can't leave the water for a long time, they are simply placed in ponds.

Outside the pond, the old village chief sighed: "Alas, a good boatload of sailors has become such a monster......"

Take a look.

The pond is small in size, surrounded by a fence, which should have been improvised and very loose. There were also more than a dozen young people in the village who were watching with red tassel guns.

It shows that the old village chief is still on guard, for fear that these water monkeys will have any changes.

But it should be so, after all, it is related to evil.

There are thirty or fifty water monkeys fluttering in the pond, which seems to be a little crowded, but those water monkeys seem to be very happy, chasing me back and forth, and occasionally going ashore to climb up and down by the big trees, sometimes with an upside-down golden hook, sometimes with a monkey fishing for the moon.

As for the appearance, it is the same as what Wang Longqi described.

The size and posture are really similar to the wild monkeys in the mountains. The only difference is that the water monkeys are covered in dark cyan scales, which appear to have a sharper and more powerful tail, which may be easier to swim in.

Wang Long Qiyou sighed: "They are quite open, and they are still playing here." ”

The old village chief sighed: "Alas, who can have such a big heart in a normal person? When they first came back, they were still full of sadness, and they all remembered their identity." But now it looks more and more like a real beast. I'm scared that after a while, they'll completely forget that they're human!"

Li Chu had good eyes, and at a glance he saw a water monkey on the shore, which was different from other water monkeys.

It looked at the water with a sad expression, and stood with its claws on its claws, with many wounds on its body, some of which were bandaged, and it was still oozing blood.

"What's going on? It doesn't seem to be the same as the other one. Li Chu asked.

"It's called Wu Er, and it's the only person on the ship who knows how to read. "Thanks to him, we know what happened to them in such detail." ”

Li Chu asked again, "How did he get hurt?"

The old village chief smiled and asked rhetorically, "Little Daoist Li, just look at it like this, can you recognize any difference between these water monkeys?"

Li Chu glanced at it, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"yes, they all look the same, and we can't tell who's who. They slept with those maids on that small island, and the mother-in-law knew about it, so naturally she couldn't spare them. ”

But I couldn't recognize which one was my man, so I had to endure it first. ”

"But Wu Er is different, he knows words, he stood up and communicated with us first, and finished talking about the things on the island. His mother-in-law knew that this must be him, and she was the first to break out, picked up a rolling pin and rushed over...... If we hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have a good scale by now......"

"Poof. Wang Longqi couldn't help but laugh, and said leisurely: "Knowledge changes fateβ€”β€”"

Li Chu specially looked at it with his heart and eye.

These water monkeys are nothing special, they look like ordinary beasts.

If you have to talk about the difference, it may be that they have less negative emotions such as anger, fierceness, and evil spirit, after all, they are human souls in their bodies.

This is followed by a sumptuous seafood feast.

The seafood made by the fishermen may not be as fine as in the big restaurants, but it is definitely fresh and tender, and the amount is large and full.

During the meal, Wang Longqi intimately instructed: "When you get on the boat, don't eat too much." ”

Li Chu and the fox girl nodded one after another.

But when you really eat it, you can't care about it so much. It's not too much to eat a twelve-minute full stomach and barely pad your stomach, right?

Especially the fox girl, a little girl who looks soft and weak, but has an extra tail.

Who knew that her food alone was as large as that of three young and strong men, and the appearance of that eating was called a storm and clouds at a good point, and a hungry dog pounced on food at a bad point, and the surrounding villagers were stunned.

After eating, she smiled embarrassedly, wiped her mouth gracefully, and nodded slightly.

Dignified.

This time, she successfully changed the villagers' evaluation of herself from "actually a monster" to "worthy of being a monster".

No way, I'm used to being hungry.

She peeked at Li Chu and found that Li Chu was eating harder than her. But it just looks so calm, so chic, so bohemian.

She also secretly said to herself, worthy of being my master.

After eating, he boarded a large ship sent out by the village, led by eight or nine experienced sailors, and set sail for the sea.

The charts along the road are drawn by water monkeys with their paws, although they are a little crooked, but they should be eight or nine and ten. After all, they are all old fishermen, and they have come back from memory.

Soon after getting on the boat, Wang Longqi fell behind the boat and began to vomit.

He had the experience of going to sea before, and he had suffered losses, so he told him in advance, and he only ate eight points full.

Who thinks it's still so bad.

What puzzled him was that Li Chu and the fox girl, who went to sea for the first time, did not react at all. There you can enjoy the scenery of the sea, and the fox girl shouts from time to time.

Wang Lung walked over with a vegetable-like face and asked angrily, "Why don't you two get seasick?"

The master and slave looked at each other and shrugged.

The look in his eyes seems to say, no, no, no one will really get seasick, right?

Wang Longqi was aggrieved and left with his mouth flattened.

After about two hours, the sailor from the bow of the ship scratched his head and said, "Strange."

Li Chu walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

The sailor said, "According to the chart, we should be there now." At the very least, it should be in sight, but ......"

He pointed to the bare sea level ahead, and there was nothing.

Li Chu frowned, this is a little difficult.

Could it be some secret place or a movable island?

They had only talked for a couple of words, when they heard another shout from the sailors behind them, "Oh-"

When I looked up, I saw that billowing inky clouds were gathering.

The clouds are moving!

The sailor shouted, "It's changedβ€”"
