I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

An hour later, the team arrived at the Jinyan River under the scorching sun.

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

There used to be a big bridge on the river to communicate with the two banks, but after Qin Shaoyou and the others arrived today, they unexpectedly found that the bridge was gone, and only a few stone pier bases were left standing alone in the river.

"Where's the bridge?"

Zhu Xiucai was stunned.

"I walked here half a year ago, and the bridge was still fine at that time, why are there only a few stone piers left now?"

Fortunately, there were a few fishing boats parked on the shore, so he and Qin Shaoyou patted their horses and went forward to ask the fishermen on the boat about the situation.

"May I ask the boatman, why is there no bridge in this river? What happened?"

"Flooded and collapsed."

On the nearest fishing boat to the shore, a fisherman was cooking something. When he heard the question, he raised his head and answered.

"Flood?"

Zhu Xiucai was even more surprised: "When did it happen? Isn't the Jinyan River always flowing slowly, and hasn't had a flood for many years? Besides, it's not yet the rainy season, why did it suddenly flood and destroy the bridge?" Collapsed?"

The fisherman sighed and said, "This thing is really weird. Just over a month ago, the county organized people to dredge the river, and guess what? A big stone cow was cleared out!"

"Big stone cow?"

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

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

When the stone cow came out of the water, many people gathered around to watch the excitement, and we went too.

The stone ox was carved very well, and it looked lifelike, as if it was alive.

The magistrate of the county came to the scene and was very happy when he saw Shi Niu. He said it must be auspicious, and asked Shi Niu to send blessings or what?

In short, according to the wishes of the county magistrate, if this stone ox is produced in our county, there will be a bumper harvest in the future, and there will be no disasters every year.

Everyone was very happy to hear that, and the county magistrate even arranged for manpower to transport the 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 villager stood up to stop it, saying that the stone ox was placed in the river, it was mostly used for town water, it should not be removed, it should be put back into the river to avoid accidents.

But the county magistrate refused to listen and insisted on having the stone cow transported away. As a result, on the second day after the stone cow 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, which not only washed away the bridge here, but also destroyed many farmlands and villages along the river.

The elders and gentry thought together and felt that the stone ox had to be put back into the river, otherwise the flood would last for an unknown amount of time, so they went to the county town collectively and found the county magistrate to make a statement.

The magistrate of the county was frightened when he heard that the Jinyan River was really flooded. He didn't dare to insist on sending the stone cow to the capital to report auspiciousness. He hurriedly sent someone to release the stone cow back to the Jinyan River.

Then, something magical happened.

On the second day after Shi Niu entered the water, the heavy rain stopped.

A few days later, the flood also stopped.

However, this collapsed bridge has been left hanging here, and it is not known when someone will come to repair it. "

Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai looked at each other, but they didn't expect that there was such a story hidden behind the bridge collapse incident.

That stone ox, even if it wasn't a supernatural item, still had a bit of 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 the people and property.

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

The fisherman nodded with a smile: "We just buy our strength and earn some hard money. But..."

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

"It's fine to ferry people, horses, and goods, but dead people, coffins, etc..."

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

"Then there is no problem." The fisherman said with a smile: "There is no taboo to press the boat with copper coins."

"Thank you very much."

Zhu Xiucai quickly thanked him.

Qin Shaoyou also bowed his hands in thanks.

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

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

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

"Yes." Everyone took orders.

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

Zhu Xiucai was taken aback for a moment, lowered his voice, and asked, "Why, do these fishermen have problems?"

Qin Shaoyou said: "There is no problem, but I feel that the attitude of the boatman just now is a bit weird. He said he was taboo about coffins, but I didn't see much taboo from his expression and reaction. Even if we didn't add money, he would probably Take us across the river."

"Maybe you just want to raise the price on the ground and make more money?" Some Hercules speculated.

Qin Shaoyou said: "It would be best if this is the case. In short, everyone should stay vigilant, and there must be nothing wrong."

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

When they came to the river, they divided into two teams according to Qin Shaoyou's instructions, led the horses and drove the carts, and boarded two fishing boats.

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

Zhu Xiucai asked the fisherman curiously: "Boater, what good food do you cook on board? It smells so good."

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 his head and smiled and said, "What good things can there 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."

"No money?"

"In the past, I would have charged you money, but now that I have charged your ferry fee, I will give you this fish for free."

Zhu Xiucai walked to the bow, and saw a stove was placed here, and a pot was placed on it, and steam was gurgling out.

The fragrance here is stronger, Zhu Xiucai said: "Your fish is really delicious, do you have any secret recipe?"

The fisherman said: "The guest is joking. We can have a secret recipe, but the fish is fresh enough. Eat it, these fish are delicious."

He supported the boat, but looked at Zhu Xiucai with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Zhu Xiucai smiled, and lifted the lid of the pot, and there were indeed several fish stewed inside.

But after he saw these fish, he frowned slightly.

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

When the fisherman heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and recommended to Qin Shaoyou and Liao Lishi: "Try it, two guests?"

Zhu Xiucai quietly gestured to Qin Shaoyou.

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

Naturally, he would not eat fish, and said with a smile: "No need, we just had lunch, and we are not hungry yet. We will taste the delicacy of your fish after we digest our food."

"Okay, okay." The fisherman Shanshan replied without further words.

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

"what happened?"

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