I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

An hour later, under the scorching sun, the team came to the Jinyan River.

This is a big river in Luocheng, and it is also the only way to go to Nanquan Township where Yao Lishi's home is.

There used to be a bridge on the river to communicate between the two sides of the river, but after Qin Shaoyou and the others arrived today, they were surprised to find that the bridge was gone, only a few stone pier bases were left standing alone in the river.

"Where's the bridge?"

Zhu Xiucai was dumbfounded.

"I walked through here half a year ago. The bridge was in good condition at that time. Why are there only a few stone piers left?"

Fortunately, there were a few fishing boats parked on the shore, so he and Qin Shaoyou patted the horse and asked the fisherman on the boat about the situation.

"Excuse me, boatman, why is there no bridge in this river? What happened?"

"There was a flood, and it collapsed."

On a fishing boat closest to the shore, the fisherman was cooking when he heard the question and raised his head to answer.

"Flood?"

Zhu Xiucai was even more surprised: "When did it happen? Isn't the Jinyan River always flowing slowly, and there hasn't been a flood for many years? And it's not yet the rainy season, why did it suddenly burst into a flood, and the bridge was given to the Collapsed?"

The fisherman sighed and said, "It's really weird. Just two months ago, the county organized people to dred the river, and guess what? A big stone bull was cleared out!"

"Big stone cow?"

"Yes, the stone ox is big and heavy, and the oldest old man nearby doesn't know when or who put it into the river.

After the county magistrate heard about this, he sent a lot of people to pull it out of the river.

When Shi Niu came out of the water, many people gathered around to watch the fun, and we went too.

The stone ox was extremely well-carved, and it looked lifelike, as if it were alive.

The county magistrate came to the scene, and after seeing the stone ox, he was very happy, saying that it must be auspicious, calling the stone ox a blessing or something?

In a word, according to the meaning of the county magistrate, this stone ox was born in our county, and it will definitely be a bumper crop in the future, and there will be no disasters every year.

Everyone was very happy to hear it, and the county magistrate even arranged manpower to transport this stone ox back to the county, and then send it to the capital to present auspiciousness to the current emperor.

But at this time, a village elder stood up to stop it, saying that the stone cow was placed in the river, mostly for water control, and should not be removed, but should be put back into the river to avoid accidents.

But the county magistrate refused to listen and insisted on having the stone ox transported away. As a result, on the second day after the stone ox was transported away, the water in the Jinyan River suddenly became turbulent, and it rained heavily!

On the seventh day after Shi Niu was taken away, the Jinyan River flooded in the middle of the night, not only collapsing the bridge here, but also destroying many farmlands and villages along the river.

When the village elders and gentry gathered together, they felt that the stone cattle had to be put back into the river, otherwise the flood would not know how long it would last, so they collectively went to the county seat and found the county magistrate to make a statement.

The county magistrate heard that the Jinyan River was really flooded, and was frightened. He did not dare to insist on sending the stone cattle to the capital to report auspiciousness. He hurriedly sent people to return the stone cattle to the Jinyan River.

Then, something miraculous happened.

On the second day after the stone ox entered the water, the heavy rain stopped.

A few days later, the flood also stopped.

But this collapsed bridge has been hanging here for a long time. I don't know when someone will come to repair it. "

Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai looked at each other, but they never thought that behind the bridge collapse, there was still such a story hidden.

Even if that stone ox is not a supernatural item, it still has some spirituality, otherwise it would be impossible to suppress the flood.

Maybe it has something to do with the feng shui of the Jinyan River, so after being taken away, it caused floods and harmed property and people.

Qin Shaoyou glanced at the fishing boats that were leaning here, and also understood: "Now that there is no bridge, if you want to cross the river, you can only rely on you to ferry?"

The fisherman smiled and nodded: "We just buy some strength and make some hard money. But..."

He glanced at the coffin being pulled on the carriage and shook his head.

"It's okay to cross people, horses and goods, but dead people, coffins..."

Zhu Xiucai understood what he meant: "We can add money."

"Then there's no problem." The fisherman smiled and said, "There are no taboos when there are copper coins to press the boat."

"Thank you very much."

Zhu Xiucai quickly thanked him.

Qin Shaoyou also thanked him.

Immediately, the two turned around and went to greet everyone to board the boat.

Qin Shaoyou made an arrangement: "Xiucai, Lao Liao, you two are in a boat with me, guarding Lao Yao's coffin. Monk, you take the others on another boat."

With so many of them, one fishing boat can't fit in, so two must be needed.

"Yes." Everyone took the order.

Qin Shaoyou thought for a while, and then whispered: "Be careful when you get on the boat."

Zhu Xiucai was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "Why, these fishermen have a problem?"

Qin Shaoyou said: "It's not a problem, I just felt that the boatman's attitude was a little weird. He said that he was taboo about coffins, but I didn't see much taboo on his expression and reaction. Even if we didn't pay more, he would probably do it. Cross us across the river."

"Maybe you just want to raise the price and make more money?" The strong man guessed.

Qin Shaoyou said: "It would be best if this is the case. In short, everyone should be vigilant, it is definitely not wrong."

"Yes." All the warriors nodded in unison, taking orders in a low voice.

After arriving at the river, they divided into two teams according to Qin Shaoyou's instructions, led horses and carts, and boarded two fishing boats.

As soon as they got on the boat, everyone smelled a fresh fragrance.

Zhu Xiucai asked the fisherman curiously: "Boatman, what kind of good things are you cooking on the boat? It's so fragrant."

The fisherman was telling Qin Shaoyou that they should take good care of the horse and not fall into the water.

Hearing the question, he turned around and said with a smile: "What good things can be on board? It's just a few fresh fish. If the guests want to eat, just eat it, and you won't be charged."

"Don't take money?"

"If it was in the past~www.readwn.com~ I would definitely have charged you, but now that I have charged your fare, this fish will be given to you for free."

Zhu Xiucai walked to the bow of the boat and saw that there was a stove here with a pot on it, and the steam was blowing out.

The aroma here is stronger, Zhu Xiucai said, "Your fish is really fragrant, is there a secret recipe?"

The fisherman said: "The guests are joking. We can have any secret recipes, but it is better than the fish being fresh. Eat them, these fish are delicious."

He propped up the boat, but looked at Zhu Xiucai with a hint of hope in his eyes.

Zhu Xiucai smiled and lifted the lid of the pot. Sure enough, there were a few fish stewed inside.

But after he saw these fish, he frowned slightly.

In the end, he didn't eat the fish in the pot. He closed the lid and said with a smile, "This fish is really delicious. Unfortunately, I just had lunch and my stomach is very stretched. I'll eat it later."

When the fisherman heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled at Qin Shaoyou and Liao Lishi and made an attentive recommendation: "Try two guests?"

Zhu Xiucai quietly gave Qin Shaoyou a gesture.

Even without Zhu Xiucai's reminder, Qin Shaoyou could see the strangeness of the fisherman.

Naturally, he wouldn't go to eat fish. He smiled and said, "No, we just had lunch, and we're not hungry yet. Wait for Xiaoxia, and then come back to taste the deliciousness of your fish."

"Okay, okay." The fisherman Shan Shan replied without saying any more.

Zhu Xiucai quietly gestured towards Monk Ma and the others on the other boat, telling them not to eat the fish cooked on the fishing boat.

"what happened?"

When Zhu Xiucai came to his side, Qin Shaoyou immediately lowered his voice and asked him.
