MTL - My 1995 Small Farm-Chapter 384 The True Face of Mount Lushan 【Part 1】

  Chapter 384 The true face of Mount Lu [Part 1]

   "Brother-in-law, isn't the earth dragon an earthworm? How did it become a water monster? It couldn't be that the earthworm became a spirit."

  This morning, Chen Ling's family, who heard the news, rushed to the reservoir.

  Chen Ling hugged the baby and walked together with Wang Susu, while the little girl Wang Zhenzhen walked restlessly in front of their family of three.

  While swinging his arms and walking backwards, he asked questions with a puzzled face.

   "What earthworms become spirits? Earthworms are called earth dragons. This is an earth dragon. I guess the earth dragon refers to crocodiles..."

   Chen Ling gave her a speechless look. She must have followed her sister to pack the medicinal materials and saw the medicinal names of earthworms.

   But when he heard Earth Dragon, he thought about it for a long time before he vaguely remembered that maybe this should be the native name for crocodile.

He was still thinking about it just now, if he won't see the water monster later, he would ask Fourth Grandfather, he was born before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has experienced a lot, and he has seen a lot, and he often went to play when the reservoir was still a big lake. , might know something.

   "Huh? Crocodile? Is it the kind of crocodile with hard scales on its body and such a big mouth?"

  Wang Zhenzhen looked very surprised. She knew about crocodiles. It was in the aquarium album Chen Ling bought, and it was also mentioned in some extracurricular books. It was said that a kind of bird could pick the teeth of crocodiles.

  She is naturally very interested in such things, so she is very impressed with the ferocious appearance of the crocodile, and she remembers her appearance clearly.

   "Yeah, that's the crocodile."

  Chen Ling nodded, then was taken aback for a moment.

  But I remembered that someone saw the water monster for the first time in the autumn of the year before last, saying that it had a blue face and fangs, and it was covered in scales. It opened its mouth wide enough to swallow two ducks in one mouthful.

  At that time, he felt that what the villagers said was too exaggerated. If it was passed on to hundreds of people, and everyone added a little bit of oil and vinegar, the truth would have been changed beyond recognition.

  But now that I think about it, if it were a crocodile, this slightly exaggerated statement would be true...

  The big hole in the earth that Chen Ling couldn't understand and wondered in his heart was solved in an instant.

   After all, although crocodiles are better at digging holes than badgers, as a surviving amphibian that has lived in the world for tens of thousands of years, it has extremely superb digging skills.

   If the crocodile is not a water monster, nor is it a water monkey as the old people talk about, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

  Wang Susu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Chen Ling said. She had been worried when she heard about the water monster just now.

  Wang Zhenzhen also turned lively again, while walking backwards, while teasing the little guy in his sister's arms: "Ruirui, look at my aunt, I will walk backwards, will you? Hee hee."

   "Okay, don't make a fuss, let's go and find out what it is, parents are still at home waiting to go to the county to save money."

  Chen Ling said something to the little girl, and San San and Xiao Xiao hurried over to the reservoir.

  On the dam at the entrance of the village, there are a lot fewer tourists, but there are a lot of stalls, so it is surrounded by water.

   But seeing Chen Ling's family, they politely let him in.

   There were also villagers who carefully told him about the situation just now.

   Soon, Zhao Dahai also waved at him, pointing to two collapsed earth caves to show him.

   "These are two connected soil holes, one was dug and the other was exposed..."

"At first, we thought it was a hole of a badger or a fox, but as soon as the hole was dug, a dingy thing ran out from the reeds, jumped into the water and swam away. When the old man saw it, he was startled and said it was a water monster."

  Zhao Dahai wiped the sweat off his face, panted and said, but he was frightened by the scene just now.

   "Are you sure it's one, not two?"

   Chen Ling looked at the two earth holes and asked.

  The traces in these two soil holes are very new, not the two holes he blocked at that time, which proves that something lives in them.

   "Uh, we saw one clearly just now."

  Zhao Dahai scratched his head and knew what Chen Ling meant by asking.

   "Okay, who said that thing looks like an earth dragon?" Chen Ling asked again.

  Zhao Dahai heard the words and looked left and right, searched around, and finally pointed at the old man on the west side of Chen Ling: "He said it."

  Old Tiny Wai also hurriedly echoed: "Uncle Kannian said it, he said look at the tail of that thing, and the vortex it stirs up looks like an earth dragon."

   Then he talked about the first time the water monster was discovered in the autumn of the previous year, and saw the characteristics of the water monster to prove it.

   Said that many of them could see clearly at that time.

   Then he talked about something like blue-faced fangs and a **** mouth, and said how many people saw it at the time, for fear that others would not believe it.

   "Do you sound like an earth dragon? Grandpa Fourth."

   "It must be, that's what Tulong looks like. When I went out to escape, I saw militiamen playing this thing by the river, hanging it on shelves and trees in a row."

  Chen Gannian gestured in his hands, describing the characteristics of the earth dragon in more detail.

   Listening carefully, Chen Ling was convinced that the earth dragon was really talking about the crocodile.

  But the crocodile that lives in the wild in China should be the Chinese alligator.

  Why did you come to their side?

  At this time, someone next to him asked: "Uncle Kannian, didn't you say earth dragon? It's called a dragon now, so why do the militiamen dare to fight with guns?"

Chen Kannian thought for a while and said: "The earth dragon is a dragon on the ground. It has no horns and can't fly. It's far from the real dragon flying in the sky. It doesn't matter if you shoot it with a gun. If the earth dragon in the reservoir If you mess around, if you dare to hurt someone, let's shoot his mother with a gun."

  Everyone laughed out loud.

  Many people also laughed and said, the reservoir is guarded by the turtle king, so what is the earth dragon, they will definitely not dare to make trouble.

  Because everyone made a fortune recently, they believed that the fortune was given by the Turtle Lord, so no one questioned this statement, on the contrary, they agreed with it.

  Chen Ling himself felt a little relieved.

  If it is a Chinese alligator, it is not vicious, and it is timid. It will sneak away when it sees people. Generally, it will not hurt people. Just keep away from the baby, and it will not harm adults.

  Because the earth dragon was scared away, the true face of the earth dragon could not be seen.

  Chen Ling's family didn't stay here to watch the excitement.

  The villagers were not as excited and excited as they were when the old turtle showed up.

  Because everyone already knew about the water monster.

  So I was just a little surprised, and chatted in a normal way while setting up a stall.

  The side of the reservoir is far less lively than last time.

Only those tourists who have not left and a few people from other villages are very excited and curious, and they are still pestering the informed villagers to ask all kinds of things about water monsters and earth dragons in more detail, and they never get tired of it , dangling back and forth on the side of the reservoir, reluctant to leave.

  After Chen Ling went back, Jiu rode his motorcycle non-stop to take his father-in-law to the county town, and saved the money he earned during this period.

   By the way, I went to the small courtyard in the south of the city to have a look, and then went to a small village next to the forest farm in the east of the city to find someone to buy three guns of different models.

  Take it home for self-defense.

   Not only against wild animals, but also against people with evil intentions.

  Recently, the village has been in the limelight, and most people from all over the world know that their village has made money, so it is inevitable that they will be missed.

   Now is the fourth month of the lunar calendar, gradually entering the busy season of farming.

   Once the busy farming season comes, it is a good time for many idlers and bums to do bad things everywhere.

  At this time, the farmers are busy in the farmland, and there is no one at home, or only the old and young are left at home, which is an excellent opportunity to steal.

  In the past few days, the flow of people in this village has shown signs of gradually dispersing. After this prosperous time period, we must be vigilant and be more careful.

  In addition to these, after a while, I have to go to the city to attend the wedding of Bobcat and Dujuan.

  Although Zhao Dahai said that he would drive with them in the car, this time Wang Susu and his children will also go with them. After attending the wedding, they will look at the house they bought in the city.

   Chen Ling couldn't be too cautious as his wife and children followed her on a long journey.

  Zhao Dahai and himself took two guns, and left the rest to the old man at home.
