Well of Mystery

According to the description of Huang Xiangyuan's staff, this sea monster is about the height of an adult male, with long fins on its back and a long tail.Although they were far away and the light was dim, the scales on the sea monster's body exuded faint blue fluorescence.

After it got ashore, it walked into the old Sea God Temple step by step, and at this time, the employee had already paralyzed on the ground in fright.

The next day, he told many people about it, but no one believed him.In the end, a large group of people walked towards the Sea God Temple happily, only to find huge and weird footprints on the sand outside the main entrance, with a line of dragging traces in the middle.

"They say that line is the sea monster's tail."

Having said that, Huang Xiangyuan skillfully took out his mobile phone and showed a photo in the album to the guests.

Bai Xiuqi narrowed his eyes slightly.He saw a piece of khaki-colored sand, with two footprints resembling goose palms left behind, and there was a groove between the footprints.

Judging from the scale placed on the side, the footprint is nearly [-] centimeters in length, from which it can be deduced that its owner is indeed a huge monster.

"Later, we made a reverse film for these footprints, and you can see them when you arrive on the island." Huang Xiangyuan said proudly.

The discovery of the sea monster's footprints caused a great shock among the employees. Several timid employees even jointly resigned, not daring to stay on this small island.At the time of the incident, Huang Xiangyuan happened to be working nearby, but after hearing the news, he rushed to Rose Fire Island overnight.In order to appease the emotions of the workers, he not only issued an extra subsidy.I also ate and lived with the workers, so I lived there for a whole month.

"The sea monsters made a lot of noise in those few days, and even killed several chickens and dogs. For this matter, we set traps on the island, but unfortunately found nothing. Later, we asked the police to guard the island with guns. After a few nights, it slowly subsided."

Are sea monsters afraid of the police?Hearing what Huang Xiang said, Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu looked at each other, and the same idea came to their minds.

"Could this sea monster be disguised by someone?" Bai Xiuqi asked, "For example, a fugitive from a nearby island."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."

Huang Xiangyuan waved his hands without even thinking about it: "We have asked many experts to identify the footprints. They all said that the footprints of living things cannot be mistaken. Besides, when I contracted this island back then, the local area has already swept away the fugitives in this area. Other than sea monsters, there has never been any petty incident on Rose Fire Island, and fighting and hurting people is even unheard of. It's very safe."

"But something happened in Luolong Village recently." Bai Xiuqi still added worryingly.

Now Huang Xiangyuan was really stunned: "Luolong Village? What's going on there?"

"The village chief was stunned and stuffed into the grass dragon. He was almost burned to death by a fire."

After this.Bai Xiuqi explained everything he knew, and Huang Xiangyuan's expression became serious.

"The village chief is an old friend of mine. I was supposed to visit him when this happened. Anyway, let's send you to the island first."

He paused at this point.He took the initiative to look at the guests sitting in front of him.

"It is of course important to make money when you come out to do business. But since you told me that something happened to the village chief, I still want to ask you what you mean—it may be risky to go to Rose Fire Island now. If you are worried, I will do it now You can tell the captain to turn around and drive back."

After saying this, he stopped and waited for everyone's reply.

"We're not leaving." Luo Weilu, who had been silent since the beginning, answered him first: "The hot spring on Rose Fire Island may have the effect of restoring my eyesight. This is my last hope. I don't want it to be so easy. Just give up."

Jian Tong also nodded silently on the side.

Seeing the seriousness of the atmosphere, Jiang Chenglu also laughed: "I said boss, don't think about it. Anyone who hesitates, then don't come to the pier or board the boat. Since we are all on your boat , I made up my mind to go to the island. But if you feel sorry for us, you can just get [-]% off and [-]% off, we welcome it.”

"..." Huang Xiangyuan really didn't expect the will of the people on this boat to be so firm, and he was stunned for a while before he finally recovered: "Then thank you for your patronage."

After that, Huang Xiangyuan said that he was going to make a condolence call to the family of the village head, and turned around and walked to the front cabin.Only the guests sat on the back deck and looked at each other.

Bai Xiuqi looked at Jiang Chenglu first: "Hey, what do you think about the legend of the sea monster?"

"Fake." Jiang Chenglu insisted: "I've never seen a sea monster that is afraid of Uncle Policeman. It's probably a human disguise."

"It is likely to be a fugitive who haunts the vicinity."

Hua Yang also thought of going with him: "It is estimated that they disguised themselves as sea monsters, one is to make it easier to go to the island to steal food, and the other is to scare Huang Xiangyuan and his workers away and prevent Rose Fire Island from being leased for development, so that they can I can continue to hide on the island."

"It's a pity that once the police uncle came, their ghost camouflage couldn't go on. They moved their positions in a desperate manner, or they were simply arrested elsewhere. In this way, the sea monsters on Rosefire Island followed Completely disappeared." At this point, Jiang Chenglu clapped his hands proudly: "I am really a genius for seamless reasoning."

"You are beautiful." Bai Xiuqi couldn't help but glared at him: "In this way, isn't the scroll found in the Sea God Temple a bit suspicious? Maybe it was deliberately placed there by the fugitives for the workers to find out." Woolen cloth?"

"It is indeed possible." Jian Tong also joined their discussion: "But I heard that pirates appeared near here in ancient times. Is there a possibility? The legend does exist, but the prototype of the so-called sea monster is a certain A pirate who fell into trouble was taken in by the villagers. What happened next has been exaggerated and distorted with the passage of time?"

"Hmm..." Everyone unconsciously fell into deep thought.

In the end, Jiang Chenglu was the first to laugh: "What are we doing? Are we supposed to be so serious? We didn't come here for archaeology, so we should just enjoy the scenery on the sea."

With that said, he stood up first and walked towards the stern.

Realizing that there was something in Jiang Chenglu's words, Bai Xiuqi took a glass of drink and followed him as if nothing had happened.After walking down a few steps, we arrived at the hydrophilic deck at the stern, just in time to see Jiang Chenglu squatting by the water and biting his finger.

"What are you doing?" he asked quietly.

Hearing the inquiry, Jiang Chenglu turned around and found Bai Xiuqi standing behind him, and immediately frowned: "It's slippery here, it will be a disaster if you fall into the sea. Don't come here."

After thinking about it, Bai Xiuqi simply stepped into the fixed lifeboat and sat down.

"Now can you tell me what you're doing?"

Unable to hold back him, Jiang Chenglu put his finger back into his mouth again, bit it hard and took it out again, and squeezed it hard on the surface of the sea.A drop of blood fell from the fingertips, fell into the boundless blue sea, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Bai Xiuqi suddenly heard the sound of bubbling bubbles coming from the sea water.In the originally blue sea water, there are large and large silver scales indistinctly.

Fortunately, apart from Jiang Chenglu and Bai Xiuqi, there was no third person looking down into the sea.Otherwise, he would not have believed his eyes—except for the propelled area of ​​the bow, the entire yacht was surrounded by schools of fish, large and small, colorful scales were constantly floating up, and the mouths of the fish were floating in the air. The waves are ups and downs, opening and closing silently, as if speaking a wonderful language that humans cannot hear.

But Bai Xiuqi knew that Jiang Chenglu could hear him.

"Okay, I understand, thanks for your hard work."

Jiang Chenglu sat on the deck by the water, looked at the fish school in the sea with a smile, then he stretched out his hand and patted it twice. At the same time as the applause sounded, the fish school disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the sea surface recovered. calm.

Bai Xiuqi watched the whole process in astonishment, and then a question arose: "According to the division of the five clans, you should also belong to the Scale clan. Then these fish, shrimps and crabs are all of your same clan, can you say that?"

"I understand what you're trying to say. You want to ask me, since I'm also a scale clan, why do I usually eat fish? Isn't this cannibalism?" Jiang Chenglu turned around and looked at him: "According to the division of modern biology, humans Both are mammals like pigs, and they can be regarded as the same family in a broad sense, don’t humans eat pigs?”

"This is totally different from that!" Bai Xiuqi thought that Jiang Chenglu was irrational again: "A pig won't tip you off."

"Who says it won't be, it's because you have never seen it before. Pig clubs, fish clubs, and even cabbage clappers are good, but only those of the same race as them can understand." Jiang Chenglu sneered: "Then you see fish clubs now. The group informed me, do you still eat seafood when you go to the island?"

"..." Now it was Bai Xiuqi's turn to be speechless. After thinking about it, he ended the topic abruptly: "What did the school of fish tell you?"

"About the sea monster." Jiang Chenglu stepped into the lifeboat with his long legs, and sat beside Bai Xiuqi: "Little Yu'er told me that they have never heard of any sea monsters. , Human beings can’t believe what they say.”

Bai Xiuqi felt that he was also shot, and grinned: "Then my grandfather's oil painting is also a lie? There is also a half-man, half-fish monster painted on it."

"Oh, those little fishes also said it." Jiang Chenglu nodded: "They said that there used to be a fairy living in the wandering island, who was half human and half fish, but unfortunately they haven't seen it for decades. .”
