Chapter 528 Piranha?
‘Good guy, what you said is as if you know my cow better than I do. ’
Chen Ling was speechless, but he saw the fear on their faces, and they started talking to each other about the rituals.
No more words.
I watched the little white cow leading the yellow cow, mother and son, towards the woods to the north, and then followed.
A little kid like Ruirui can't stay at home, so he likes to play outside. The farther he goes and the more things he sees, the happier he is.
But Xiaobai Niu is not Heiwa Xiaojin after all, and he will not coddle him and let him run around on his own.
Whenever he wants to play near the water's edge, thorn bushes, or a tree that's leaning over.
He would hold the brat's clothes in his mouth, let the brat hang in the air, kick his legs and dance, and then gently place him in front of Chen Ling...
Then 'Moo' shouted to Chen Ling to discipline him.
At first, Ruirui was about to burst into tears, shouting: "The cow is bad, I'll beat you." Then he rushed up, pushing the little white cow, hitting it with his hands, and kicking it with his feet.
Not to mention that the little white cow is a gentle cow and has always been kind and tolerant to brats. What's more, this little force is almost like scratching an itch for it.
Let the brat do whatever he wants. In short, hit him and kick him. If he wants to run away, just drag him back with his clothes.
After repeating it several times, Ruirui actually found this very funny. She giggled when the little white cow hung her clothes in the air, and she actually couldn't bear to come down.
"Niu Niu, come again, come again~"
The little white cow is also happy to play with him, as long as he doesn't run around.
Playing like this may be interesting, so that the curious little scalper no longer cares about eating grass. After watching it for a while, he came over eagerly, but the little white cow flicked his neck and bent his head. The strong horns pushed it away, fearing that it would not seriously hurt the little boy.
The little scalper dared not come up again.
Just still watching eagerly.
Calves and lambs are no different from puppies and kittens. They are very curious and like to play with people.
"Did you see that the big white cow this man raised is different? It can also look after children."
"Yes, people say the white cow's eyes are different. It can see ghosts and ward off evil spirits. Why don't you invite others? Leading the cow to the place where people drowned in the Yaba River?"
"Forget it, I still have a baby at home, so young, how unlucky."
"Oh yes. , that’s right, then let’s ask someone to do it.”
In many places, it is believed that water ghosts will find substitutes. If there are frequent drownings in a certain place, they will think that water ghosts are causing trouble. I asked an expert to exorcise the evil spirits.
This statement is naturally a bit superstitious.
In hot weather, many people go to the river to bathe and play in the water. Men, women, adults and children drown every year.
There are many places near the sea and rivers.
Taboos are taboos, but there is nothing surprising about this kind of thing.
So after Chen Ling heard their discussion, he didn't take it seriously, and immediately took Ruirui and Xiaobai Niu to the depths of the forest farm.
I'm too lazy to listen to their nonsense anymore.
In fact, not many people come to the north of the forest farm. It is more desolate than the south, and the vegetation is more prosperous. The originally narrow dirt road is tightly blocked by weeds and vines on both sides, crowding the road. It's gone, leaving only a narrow gap.
There are also a lot of mosquitoes.
But they came out with mosquito repellent sachets, so mosquitoes would not get close.
Also...
Even if there are disadvantages, there are also advantages.
The good thing is that it is inaccessible and there are many wild animals. High-quality song insects and beautiful and interesting bugs are everywhere. Ruirui was so happy that she urged Chen Ling to keep catching in the grass and trees. What a joy.
Looking for bugs, and later I saw many wild animals hiding in caves in the grass and tree roots.
Such as Badgerzi Cave, Shanlizi Cave, etc.
There are many traces of their activities here.
Although there are not as many as in the mountains, they are not few in the forest farm.
Chen Ling thought of the hole he made when he watered the ground yesterday, but he still hadn't figured out what it was.
I thought I would go back and have a look tonight.
Now there are endless things in the wild areas outside the village, all kinds of things, and the feeling has returned to the feeling before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
I heard that when I was working on farmland, there were a lot of wild animals. hares and pheasants often ran past me. Rabbit holes and pheasant nests were even more common.
On rainy days, especially when it rains lightly in spring and autumn, you will still hear the long-pitched cry of cows "moo~moo~" while working in the farmland, but when people look for it, they can't see anything. arrive.
People say this thing is called ‘ground cattle’.
But whether it is a beast, a bird, or an insect, I can’t figure out.
At that time, there were too many strange things whose names we didn’t know and whose appearance we didn’t know.
Now I feel a little bit like that time again.
Chen Ling also felt happy when there were so many rare things.
There is a sense of accomplishment in getting back something you once owned.
I am eager to see what lives in that cave.
However, he didn't have time to go back that day.
When the sun went down, the family was stuffing leftover dumplings into wontons in the yard when they heard a commotion coming from outside.
I also heard someone shouting: "Prince Turtle is on a trip, Prince Turtle is on a trip, Prince Turtle is here to bless us. He just rescued the girl who fell into the water at Liangjiaqiao in the Yaba River. Come and see her."
Prince Turtle is on a trip. ?
Chen Ling looked stunned, why did Garlic appear in front of people again? !
Then I thought something was wrong. I used to let Guan Duo wander around in various rivers and lakes in the middle of the night when no one was around, enjoying the addiction of He Bo patrolling the river.
They are already familiar with local rivers and lakes.
And since the huge strange fish disappeared from the reservoir, he asked Garlic to pay attention to it and make it wary.
They now appear at the dumb river.
Could it be that someone was drowning there and that big strange fish was causing trouble?
Think about it this way.
It is not incomprehensible if a strange fish that is more than ten meters long attacks and eats people.
"Oh, Lord Turtle has gone on a trip this year. He has not missed a whole year... Ling Zi, go buy some raw meat and catch two fish. I will pull two red cloths. Let's go to pay homage to Lord Turtle later. . ”
Come on, when she heard the news, the old lady was so excited that she urged Chen Ling to prepare a tribute.
This is a coincidence.
Garlic appears for the first time in July and August of the lunar calendar. At this time, they seem to have a wider range of activities than at other times.
People subconsciously think that the so-called Turtle Prince travels in this month.
It appears again this year, and it’s really the right time.
"Yes, Aling. You heard people shouting outside, Prince Turtle has saved people, and the Dumb River will be safe from now on."
Wang Susu held her belly and pulled Rui Rui stood at the door and said with a happy smile.
Heiwa Xiaojin also slowly waggled his tail and stood in front of the two mothers, staring at the people running back and forth on the road outside with curiosity.
"Okay, I'll go buy it now. You and your mother stay at home. There are so many people outside now. Just watch Ruirui at home. I'll buy the tributes before going there in the evening when there are fewer people."
Chen Ling agreed and led the little green horse out.
In view of the increasing number of people, he did not go to the place where Garlic appeared at this time to join in the fun. He just took a detour back to the village through a less crowded path.
Took out the big fishing net that had been woven before and threw it into the cave.
If you encounter that strange fish when you pass by at night, just put it into the cave and that's it. ……
As the saying goes: Seventeen or eighteen, people are still and the moon is bright.
After the 15th day of the lunar calendar, the moon comes out later and later, and after ten o'clock in the evening, it just appears.
Chen Ling chose to go there in the middle of the night, when it was quiet, which was a good time.
So that night, when the moon was sparse and the stars were shining brightly, Chen Ling quietly came to the Yaba River.
Yiba River is a very peculiar river.
Because there are no toads here, the whole river is silent and very quiet, so it is called the dumb river.
Because it is located east of the forest farm in a remote and desolate place, the river water is very clear.
Under the moonlight at night, the river is sparkling and flowing.
The sounds of insects on both sides of the strait are melodious, and fireflies are flying.
It seems quiet and beautiful.
The people who came to worship Prince Turtle also dispersed before midnight.
It is said that it is because these big old turtles disappeared into the river before nine o'clock.
Only the remains of incense candles and paper ash were left on the ground, as well as the strong sulfur smell left by various firecrackers, which dispelled the gloomy atmosphere of this place where three people died in a row in twenty days.
However, I saw that this place was completely silent.
Chen Ling didn't know if Guan Tou and the others were still there now.
Just follow the previous method, after approaching the river, reach out and tap gently on the surface of the river in a slow and slow rhythm, making a splashing sound.
But, it’s a pity.
I tried several times in succession, but it didn’t appear.
I don’t know where the garlic went.
He rode a horse at night and searched along the river for a long time. Nansha River and Dumb Lake also disappeared. He called a few times from time to time, but there was no trace.
It wasn't until the next morning, when there was a market day in the county town, that the noise on the riverside started again.
Under the cloudy sky.
The Nansha River outside the city is flowing. I don’t know when several monsters as huge as sea beasts appeared on the wide river. Especially the leader is the largest, like a round boat floating on the river. , and like a huge island.
There are huge waves in the river, pushing water from the west.
That's exactly what garlic is for them.
And it's not just big old turtles like them that appear, there are many schools of fish swimming behind them, and they are also very large in size. There are even big bright white fish jumping out of the water to chase small fish for prey.
These fish are gathering more and more, surrounding these giant turtles.
The scene looks very shocking.
It’s really like a tour of the Dragon Palace in mythology.
All of a sudden, the emotions of all the onlookers were aroused. The crowds on both sides of the river gathered more and more, and the crowd became excited. They shouted excitedly, and as the old turtles moved, the crowd also moved towards Eastern move.
Some people who were driving ducks and fishing in boats in the river hurried to the shore, not daring to take any offense.
Chen Ling's family also saw it. Wang Susu hadn't gone out for many days. It happened that there was no sun and the weather was relatively cool today. She took the two of them out to herd the cows and wander around. Unexpectedly, they met them swimming towards them.
‘These old turtles are really getting bigger and bigger. ’
Chen Ling murmured in his heart: ‘I haven’t fed them spiritual water anymore, so they must have stayed in the cave for a long time and their species have mutated. ’
That’s what I was thinking.
Just listen to a loud roar like an old cow's "moo" in the river.
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then broke out into even more enthusiastic shouts.
“Listen, it’s the dragon’s roar, it’s the dragon’s roar!!!”
“The turtle prince is also the son of the dragon prince, and it can also roar like a dragon.”
< br>"Let me tell you, this must be Prince Turtle who has lived here in his old age. Knowing that we people sincerely worship him, he came out to parade again.
As soon as he comes out, everything will be fine and everything will be fine for us here.
Floods, floods, water ghosts and water monsters were all driven away by them, and they were too frightened to come back again. "
"Moreover, Prince Turtle can still save people. "
"Yes, I can also save people. I am no longer afraid of water ghosts looking for substitutes. ”
“……”
Wang Susu and her mother were also very excited. They stood on the river bank with red faces and shouted loudly. Ruirui even stepped on the back of the little white bull next to her, holding on to its horns and letting the little white bull lift her up a little.
The little white cow is tall and strong, and it seems to have roots under its feet. It is like a white wall blocking Wang Susu and her mother, and the surging crowd cannot get close at all.
Seeing this, Chen Ling directly scolded the two of them, and worked together with Little White Niu to push through the increasingly turbulent crowd and take the two of them out.
Seeing that Chen Ling was a little angry, Wang Susu also realized that she had forgotten the identity of the pregnant woman in her excitement, and she stuck out her tongue guiltily: "Prince Turtle roared, Aling, why are you not excited at all? ”
Rui Rui was still trapped behind Chen Ling’s armpit, struggling to kick her legs with her butt stuck out, screaming and wanting to run out to see.
After being slapped twice on the buttocks by Chen Ling, he immediately became honest.
"What's the excitement? I'm just worried about you two...Have you forgotten that you still have a child in your belly? You still dare to stand by the river without fear of being pushed by the crowd? Are you patronizing? Just watch the excitement.”
Actually, there was a little white bull standing by to block the crowd, and they were keeping calm, so nothing happened to the two of them.
But, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.
And Chen Ling finally caught his wife making a mistake, so she must seize the opportunity to bully and teach her a lesson.
Wang Susu was really afraid that he would lose his temper. Her face, which had become fairer and plumper due to her pregnancy, had two strands of hair attached to her face, and her cheeks were slightly puffed up. She looked at him and whispered: "How can this be fun? Prince Turtle is from the river. God, I want to be blessed too.”
This attitude looks like that of a young daughter-in-law when she was just married.
Chen Ling's heart softened and he casually joked: "Prince Turtle has a spirit. He will offend you if he gets too close. Just worship him quietly."
He said it and pretended to be vicious. Looks like: "I won't let you go out until you have the baby. If you bump into too many people, our family will regret it... If you dare to go out and run around, you will be like Ruirui. See if I don't spank you."
Ruirui was trapped under the creaking nest by Chen Ling. He tilted his little head and looked at his father and then his mother furtively, then the brat's eyebrows curved and he laughed.
Nothing else, the brat can't understand other words, but he understands spanking the best and has conditioned reflexes.
"Pa."
Chen Ling's old face darkened, he moved the brat to his other hand, and slapped him: "How dare you climb on the cow's head? "I haven't even settled the matter with you yet. How dare you laugh at me?"
"Wow, mom, I'm looking for mom."
Rui Rui said, "Wow." Finally burst into tears.
...
At this time, the weird and dull cow roar outside was still ringing intermittently.
The crowd became more and more passionate.
Even at a certain moment, a louder noise arose from the already lively noise.
“The water monster is coming, there are monsters in the water.”
"The water monster dragged the boat away."
"The turtle prince appeared and killed the water monster."
