Chapter 62: Temptation (I)
Because of the geographical location near the sea and the non-existence of private schools, most of the children play at a young age, and help the family work when they are a little older.
Nowadays, it is summer, the season of fishing, so some families take their children to the sea together, a total of seven or eight boats have been destroyed in the past few days, and the bodies of adults have been found, but the unique children's bodies have not been found.
At first, the villagers didn't pay much attention, but for several days, such problems occurred, so they naturally thought things were going in a bad direction.
Nanniwan is close to the sea, coupled with the characteristics of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, so the villagers of Nanniwan have always been in awe of the sea, seeing that something happened in the past few days, a group of people in the village have been talking about it and can't say why.
But everyone had a hunch, but they didn't say it, that is, maybe this kind of thing should continue to happen, but no one wanted to say the worst outcome in their hearts.
Knowing the cause and effect of the matter, Zhao Jiuge did not make his own remarks, but thought about his thoughts silently, but Wang Qing and Liu Laogen put their eyes on Zhao Jiuge's body, after all, this Zhao Jiuge is an immortal-like existence in their eyes, so no matter what it is, it should not be a problem in their minds.
"Don't go to sea tomorrow, since the ship is wrecked and people are dead, there must be something strange, and recently on the sea, there should be nothing unusual, I think most of it is some strange handle in the sea, or some sea beast, but I don't see the specific situation, I can't be sure, but the children's corpses are missing, and the adult corpses have been found. โ
Zhao Jiuge frowned slightly, and said softly, as if he was deliberating about something, after all, these ordinary villagers would not make enemies with the monks, they would be killed and killed, and there was nothing valuable on them, and if it was a sea beast in the sea, it was somewhat possible, after all, the essence and blood of children were much richer than that of adults, so it was very likely that this was the case, but all of this was just Zhao Jiuge's speculation, so if it was uncertain, Zhao Jiuge would not easily draw conclusions.
There is another situation that may be normal, but it is more accidental, and it happens together continuously, so Zhao Jiuge did not make a fuss, but waited to see how things continued to develop.
Wang Qing and Liu Laogen nodded, and did not continue to say anything, but decided to follow Zhao Jiuge's instructions to stop for a day tomorrow, but their meaning is not sure to represent the opinions of the whole village, after all, there are still a small number of people who do not care, and some families have one less day to go to sea in this summer, and the loss is naturally self-evident.
In the past few days, the things have spread throughout Nanniwan, although there are many discussions, but it has not yet reached the time when people are panicking, and some artists and bold people continue to choose to go to sea, and the harvest of each day is relatively rich, and the timid ones do not go out, choose to rest, but regardless of those superstitious or not superstitious villagers, they will not take their children with them after going to sea.
Today's weather is still cloudless and sunny, but invisibly, there seems to be some haze in the sky, which makes some people in the village not in a good mood and always worried.
Today, Wang Qing and Liu Laogen deliberately did not go to sea, Zhao Jiuge accompanied them to the beach for a walk, wanting to understand the situation at the same time, by the way, waiting for the villagers who went to sea today to come back safely.
Wang Qing and his wife are not the only ones who have this purpose, but many villagers who have not gone to sea today, who have nothing to do, come to the port by the beach, all to see if it is a chance coincidence or something strange.
When the sun sets, it should be the time when the fishing boats come back one after another, and even Uncle Liu, who is highly respected in the village, has come to the port with the support of others, and there is already a circle of people here.
Everyone was looking into the distance, watching the sky gradually darken, and some people's hearts also sank, after all, if it exceeded the scheduled time, I don't know if something will happen again.
And Zhao Jiuge clasped his hands in front of his chest, lowered his eyes, and did not listen to the suspicions of those villagers, after all, at this point to them, infinitely close to the existence of the top, if there is really something, it will not be beyond their control, before the divine sense permeated a certain range of the sea, and did not find any abnormal spiritual power aura and fluctuations, so he could only wait quietly, it was really a big deal, he went to sea, thinking that he was the master of the valley, there were a lot of things, and he stayed here for more than half a year, solving these trivial matters, Zhao Jiuge couldn't help but laugh at himselfใ
Just when everyone was waiting anxiously and impatiently, wondering if something would happen, a ship finally appeared in the distance, and people's hearts relaxed a little.
Ah Lian was also in the crowd, but her face seemed to be a little frightened, after all, no one wanted anything bad to happen to Nanniwan, which had always been calm.
"It's Liu Fangliang's brother's boat. โ
By the time the boat, which was not too large, hurried back to the port, some of the villagers had already recognized the two men on board.
Although the number of ships going to sea today is not too much compared to before, it is not too few, there are one or twenty, but now only one has returned.
Seeing the boat approaching the port, before some impatient villagers stepped forward to inquire about the situation, they saw two figures disembarking from the boat, and seeing so many figures on the beach, the two people immediately hurried in this direction.
There was a slight and brief sound of surprise in the crowd, and a bad premonition permeated everyone's hearts again, because seeing Liu Fangliang's two brothers, their bodies were panicked, their faces were unbelievably frightened, and they didn't even know that one of the shoes on their feet had run away.
"Oh no, no, no, there are monsters in the sea. The two brothers Liu Fangliang were out of breath, seeing so many people on the beach, the panic was a little calmer, but the panic in their eyes couldn't be hidden.
However, when he saw Zhao Jiuge's figure and was also in the crowd, this dark-skinned man finally slowly calmed down, after all, he also had blind confidence in this immortal.
"What's the panic, let's talk slowly, where are so many people going, what the hell is going on. Uncle Liu was still much calmer, and he slammed his crutch to the ground and hammered it, and then he scolded loudly.
Liu Fangliang swallowed his saliva, faced everyone's eyes, and then slowly began to talk about today's events.
It turned out that the day was normal, and the area where the ship was destroyed in the past two days was safe, and their worries were relaxed, and then they looked at the cloudless sky, and after a day's work, the harvest was abundant, but the good times did not last long, and when they came back, for some reason, in that sea area, suddenly there were waves, and then the ships that came back together were pushed up by the high seawater, and then there seemed to be a monster in the sea, and immediately tore the ships vigorously, all the ships, and the ships were destroyed immediately, and the two brothers had a big life, and they had been in the forefront before, and had left the sea area, so they were able to escape and come back, looking at the monster in the sea from afar, destroying passing ships.
Hearing what happened, everyone fell silent again, only Zhao Jiuge had a little score in his heart, presumably it should be a certain sea beast in the sea, I don't know how to coincidentally, came to this sea area, so these things happened, it is not a strange thing, for a monk like Zhao Jiuge, it is not strange, it is not unremarkable.
"From tomorrow, everyone will not go to sea for the time being, and the family will help each other with food, after all, life is important, and the children at home are not allowed to play in the water. After listening to what happened, Uncle Liu immediately said in a deep voice, and everyone's hearts seemed to be shrouded in a haze.
After the words fell, including Uncle Liu, the eyes of all the villagers fell on Zhao Jiuge, and everyone was naturally full of expectations for this immortal, after all, the villagers of Nanniwan were able to save the day last time, thanks to Zhao Jiuge's action.
Feeling the eagerness of the villagers, Zhao Jiuge sighed, and then asked softly, "Today, all these destroyed ships took their children with them?"
Although the matter is roughly understood, and Zhao Jiuge also has a guess about the culprit, Zhao Jiuge naturally wants to figure out this strange point.
"No, since there have been a few incidents in the past two days, no one dares to take the child today, but they still encountered the same poisonous hands. Liu Fangliang hurriedly shook his head and said hurriedly, for fear of affecting Zhao Jiuge's judgment.
Zhao Jiuge pursed his lips and didn't speak, his heart was thinking, combined with all the clues, the information that Zhao Jiuge could deduce at present was that most of the sea beasts with unknown head cultivation, and they liked to devour the essence and blood in the children's bodies, so they could judge that their own strength was not too high, and today they killed so many people, and the means were bad, most of them were due to the fact that there was no food, and some of them were ashamed and angry.
Looking at a group of villagers, including Ah Lian, who regarded themselves as saviors, the corners of Zhao Jiuge's mouth twitched a little, and then he said softly to the people who were looking at him, "I'll go to the sea to investigate the situation first." โ
Zhao Jiuge couldn't bear to let these villagers be lost, and after dropping this sentence directly, regardless of the fact that the night had completely begun to darken, he directly rose from the ground, and white spiritual light surged around his body, and the next moment he shot towards the sea in the distance.
The white light was unusually dazzling in the night, but soon Zhao Jiuge couldn't see the slightest figure.
Everyone invariably looked at the white light, the direction that had disappeared, and hope and yearning surged in their eyes.
"No one should go to sea these days, if you don't want to die, go to sea, and when the matter is resolved, go to sea, and those who don't have food will eat stock or receive help. Uncle Liu said with a serious expression, it is not much of a problem not to go to sea in a short time, after all, the seaside is rich in materials, and it will not affect the livelihood for a while and a half, but it is naturally not possible to do it for a long time, so there must be a solution to this matter, and at the moment can only rely on Zhao Jiuge, and even many people began to rejoice, and they don't know what good things Nanniwan has done, and there can be such a fairy figure here.
The villagers will not go to sea too far to go to sea to fish, so Zhao Jiuge will naturally not be difficult to find for that location, the night is dark, the destroyed boats and corpses, naturally only tomorrow Zhao Jiuge will be in charge, let the villagers clean up, and at the same time take the opportunity to see if the mysterious sea beast will come out to do evil.
The white light converged, Zhao Jiuge stepped on the sword above the sea, under the night, the sea was calm, and occasionally the wind whistled, and the wreckage of those destroyed ships floated on the sea, Zhao Jiuge directly diffused his divine sense, whether it was around or on the bottom of the sea, he did not let go of a little suspicious trace and gap.
