Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 15: The messenger
When Anne asked this sentence, Lin Shuo kept watching the old man's expression.
The old man's wrinkles and squinted eyes are not big, but they are shining.
As soon as Anne raised this question, the light in the old man's eyes seemed to freeze.
He was taken aback, then sighed and said, "Hey, those outsiders are ignorant, they got retribution."
"Outsiders? Are they from the same village as you?" Anne asked.
"This is a long story." The old man snorted two puffs of dry smoke and said, "More than seventy years ago, the Japanese occupied the northeast. My grandfather took the villagers and fled here and saw There are mountains and waters here, so I settled down.
But when I first settled, life was difficult. A group of farmers have returned their hunting skills to their ancestors a long time ago, and they ran out of food, and they couldn't survive the first winter.
Then every morning, everyone finds that there are always dead animals by the river.
What roe deer, wild boar, and deer, the meat is fresh.
That winter, there were about 30 people in the village who lived on these things.
My grandfather was curious. He didn't sleep one night and squatted by the river for a night, and finally saw the real body of the old man, the Black Water Dragon King.
It turns out that it was the old man who delivered meat to our village at night.
Later, my grandfather inquired that it was not only our village. At that time, thousands of people who had fled from the south and settled in a radius of hundreds of miles here received relief from the elderly.
From that time on, we have been here for hundreds of miles, and we all remember the kindness of Lord Long.
We have a saying here, as long as you see the old man, Lord Long, the old man will remember it, and he will bless this person's life.
Speaking of it, I'm actually considered lucky. I met when I was a kid. I have been on the mountain in my whole life and nothing happened.
However, Lord Dragon has a taboo. That is, things in the water can't move. If anyone moves, the elderly will be unhappy. "
Speaking of this, the old man stopped, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea to moisturize his throat.
Anne glanced at Lin Shuo and nodded slightly.
The mystery of the chain bridge over the river seems to be solved. That fish is not moving, it is probably the cause of the black water dragon king.
However, the two then thought of Jialinda, which was only five kilometers away. It seemed that the residents did not have this taboo. The two had seen many fishing boats.
It seems that once you leave the shore of Heilongjiang and enter the Waixing'an Mountains, the rules will be different.
"You mean, the village next door was made like this by the Black Water Dragon King because it moved something in the water?" Anne asked again quickly.
"Isn't it." The old man spit out the tea in his mouth into the cup and nodded, "This group of people have only moved here in the last two or three years. Most of them are unsatisfactory in the country. They came here to give Russia. A forestry company works part-time, cutting wood on the nearby mountain.
They think we are good here, and they have settled on the other side of the river.
This group of people, hate it!
We warned them not to touch anything in the water. They didn't believe it, they were fishing for fish in the river one by one. If you say this, Lord Dragon can agree to it?
This is almost a hundred years old, and I have never heard of such a big fire from Lord Dragon.
In the past, if someone moved something in the water, Lord Long came over in the middle of the night to eat a few of their animals, that's fine, it wouldn't hurt people.
As a result, you have also seen this time. The whole village was crushed and the people disappeared.
Hey, you young people listen carefully, the things on the mountain, you have eaten and drank to survive, but you can get the idea in the water.
Long Lord, my temper is not so good these days. "
Anne nodded again and again: "Don't worry about it. Those of us who come from the city can choke a few times in the water. Who can move things in the water?"
"That's okay." The old man seemed to be a little tired and yawned and said: "Okay, tomorrow morning, there is another big business in our village to be busy. You have to hurry tomorrow, rest early."
"Old man, what's going on in the village tomorrow?"
"Dragon King messenger, will come to preside over the Dragon King Festival in the village." The old man said,
"Dragon King Messenger? Who is that?"
"He is the one who can send a message to Lord Dragon for us."
"Is there such a person?"
"Of course there is. The snake statue made at the entrance of our village is used to pray for the dragon king messenger. This matter is more important to us than the New Year." The old man said, "Tomorrow I will be busy, maybe I can’t take care of you anymore."
"It's okay, old man, you are busy with you, don't worry about us."
"Okay, go to bed early."
……
That night, Lin Shuo and four of them slept in the guest room of the old man's house.
Said it was a guest room, but it was actually the house of the old man's younger son. The old man wanted to stay a guest, so he went to sleep in the second brother's house.
Yang Tuo and Liu Qing, after inquiring about the news in other homes, also came back. Four people crowded into a room, two women slept on the bed, and Lin Shuo and Yang Tuo hit the floor.
The four of them put together the news they inquired about tonight and found that they were basically the same as the old man's statement.
"According to that, this Black Water Dragon King is the goal of our trip?" Liu Qing said softly.
"It should be." Yang Tuo said, "but I didn't expect this strange creature to have such a good mass base in the local area. It seems that this hunting operation is unlikely to get the support of the locals. ."
"Are we going to hunt it?" Liu Qing asked, "It sounds like this creature is more like a guardian of humans."
"The local villagers within a radius of a few hundred miles are humans. The 182 loggers who disappeared are not humans?" Yang Tuo said in a deep voice, "When will the destiny of our human beings be destroyed? Only animals dominate?"
Anne said at this time: "Dr. Yang makes sense. If the Blackwater Dragon King really caused the 182 loggers to disappear, then it should pay the corresponding price."
"But those one hundred and eighty-two people are just missing." Liu Qing said, "There is no evidence that they are dead. Should we find out?"
"This is true." Anne asked, "But where do I start?"
"I think the current priority is to find the so-called Black Water Dragon King." Yang Tuo said, "It's not easy to find someone in this barren mountain. It's always easier to find such a big guy."
"But don't talk about us, even if the locals want to see the Blackwater Dragon King, it's even harder." Liu Qing said, "Dr. Yang, have we inquired about it? Even they don't know that the Blackwater Dragon King is usually there. Where."
"I heard the old man here say that tomorrow, the dragon king messenger who can communicate with the black water dragon king is coming. This may be a clue." Anne said, "Mr. Lin, do you think there are really people in this world who can follow Does the black water dragon king communicate with strange creatures?"
"Since you know a lot about the hunters' circle, why should you ask knowingly?" Lin Shuo said lightly.
Anne smiled: "Indeed, we heard that Zhang, one of the six hunters, has a secret skill to communicate with wild beasts. Moreover, the scope of activities of the Zhang family is also near the three provinces. You mean, the Zhang family , May it be related to this dragon king messenger?"
"I didn't say that." Lin Shuo said in a deep voice, "Zhang family, among the six families, is the strongest temperament. In previous years, it was their family who killed the most people who hunted.
They will never have anything to do with the Black Water Dragon King. Once it gets involved, either they will die or the Black Water Dragon King will die. There is no third possibility. "
Lin Shuo's words were loud and loud, and the room was quiet for a while.
After a short while, Anne asked, "The matter must have nothing to do with the Zhang family. Mr. Lin, I can’t tell you. We originally planned to invite you for this operation, as well as contemporary The head of the Zhang family, Mr. Zhang Lianhai.
On the one hand, it is because the Zhang family is close to here. On the other hand, we heard that the Lin family and the Zhang family cooperate most tacitly. If the two masters act together, there is nothing wrong with it.
However, Mr. Zhang seems to be missing. We really can't find him. "
When Anne mentioned Zhang Lianhai, Lin Shuo fell silent.
At night outside the Xing'an Mountains, there is no light pollution in the city, and the house is completely dark.
In the darkness, a small group of flames lit up Lin Shuo's face. He struck a match and lit a cigarette.
It was the guest cigarette that the old man's second son handed Lin Shuo during the day, but he kept it on his ears and didn't smoke it.
The small flame was quickly extinguished, and the brightness of the cigarette butts in the darkness flickered.
"George Zhang and Wife Zhang died on Kunlun Mountain six years ago~IndoMTL.com~Lin Shuo smoked a few cigarettes and said calmly.
"What?" Anne's tone sounded eight degrees higher.
"I know you are playing my words." Lin Shuo said, "but it's nothing to say now, after all, people have been away for more than six years."
Anne was silent for a while, and then said: "You said before that our goal this time was the strange creature on Kunlun Mountain?"
"Hmm."
"This Black Water Dragon King, really so powerful? Even your father and Mr. Zhang Lianhai joined forces, both..."
"Kunlun Mountain six years ago was not just a matter of a strange creature, it was not that simple." Lin Shuo interrupted Anne's words, and then pulled back to the topic that was already far away. The ability to talk is true, but this craft is not their unique skill at the bottom of the box.
In our hunter circle, this ability is not uncommon. Half of the six people know this. There are people with similar abilities outside of the six great masters, even outside the hunter circle. "
"At the same time, we do not exclude this Dragon King messenger, and cannot communicate with the Black Water Dragon King." Yang Tuo interrupted at this time, "He may use some deceptions to use the relationship between the locals and the Black Water Dragon King to commit fraud. For profit."
"Yeah." Anne replied, "It seems that we have to stay here one more day. Tomorrow, we will meet this so-called Dragon King messenger together."
