Chapter 89 Si

Yangchuan City experienced torrential rain for three or four days. The abnormal rainfall seriously affected the normal travel of the people in the city. During the morning and evening peak hours, the streets and alleys were flooded with stagnant water that did not reach the calf. Pedestrians walking to and from work.

In addition, the rainstorm has been continuous these days, and the roads are heavily flooded, so many houses on the road and the exteriors of low-altitude buildings are covered with a strange and disgusting smell.

The smell is not like the usual humid and unpleasant plum rain smell, but it smells a bit like the smell of dead mice that sometimes stinks and rots in the house and no one notices it, which makes many people in the city secretly panic, and can only look bad every day With the ground above his head, the sky seems to have been leaked by the Dragon King, and he continues to travel between cities to buy vegetables, go to work, work and live.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhse...

The girl's screams suddenly broke out by the side of the road, breaking the original noise and busyness of the city. In the heavy rain, pedestrians on both sides of the road stopped and turned their heads to look, but they could only vaguely see a swollen hair slowly floating in the sewer beside it. Black, a wild cat corpse with a belly still squirming strangely under a piece of fur.

And just when everyone was wondering what was going on, a few sharp teeth suddenly crawled out from the mouth of the fetid cat corpse soaked in rainwater, and its body was larger than ordinary rats. The strange hairy mouse scared some timid girls and immediately screamed in horror, and at the same time, other passers-by who knew what it was were suddenly relieved.

"Oh, I thought it was something just now... It turned out to be a few water rats..."

"Water, water rat? What's a water rat?"

"Cousin of the mouse haha, but these things can't be taken seriously, it's an old saying that people in the past will believe... I heard that this kind of water mouse would come out early as long as there was a flood in a certain place... …When you were young, didn’t you hear the old man in your family tell the story about the rats eating the cats and the floods coming? It is said that every time the wise dragon in the sky is angry and about to cause floods, he will send these water mice to find the way for him. All the cats and dogs in the city that could warn of the imminent disaster were killed, so that the mortals who offended the Dragon Lord would not know that they were about to face a catastrophe... There is also the story about the dragon's misfortune, which is what my grandma used to tell every night It's used to scare me to sleep quickly..."

This well-informed passer-by said it so completely without seriousness, obviously he didn't take it seriously, he just told his companions around him as a joke to scare children, but the few stories about the flood that he mentioned The story is actually a tale of ghosts and ghosts that has been widely circulated throughout the country, and the Dragon King Poloutian is one of them.

The Dragon King stabs the sky, which comes from a real folk story in the 40s and [-]s. Many elderly people in Yangchuan City like to describe this situation as the angry dragon king who is on top of everyone. It was leaked to describe the relationship between the rain and the dragon in the sky.

And if we want to talk about the incident of the Dragon King's anger in detail, we have to talk about a major flood that occurred in Yangchuan and even the entire central plain in 1937.

This flood was once known as the last major flood before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is said that the cause was that a military fort in a certain place was bombed at that time, and a section of unknown animal bones suspected to be a dragon's back bone buried deep in the ground was abruptly blown out.

Once these keels were unearthed, they received close attention from all over the world. However, because they were in that special era with frequent wars, they were not well preserved and restored by the government after three months.

Hearing the news, foreign businessmen, military officers, and even priests who came here quietly took away these rare treasures from the locals with one or two silver dollars, and planned to transport them secretly by ships docked in Guangzhou, Chengdu and other places. Go back to France or England and treasure it forever in the Museum of All Nations.

But who knew that before the ship left the port, the heavy rain mixed with the dragon king's fury arrived. The blue sky and white sun flag in front of the Guangzhou government was struck by three thunderbolts from the sky. Even the portrait of Jiang Zhongzheng hanging outside the city government office Almost followed by a seedling.

As soon as this incident happened, the whole country was shocked. Several master masters from the Chinese Buddhist Association on Mount Wutai went down the mountain overnight to search for keel bones to sit on. Xiang Huo begged for forgiveness from the Dragon King who had disturbed the tomb, but it still couldn't stop a flood of the Dragon King from coming.

Back then, Yangchuan City was one of more than 20 surrounding disaster-stricken areas. During the whole year, heavy rains washed away a large number of local dwellings from the last century. The incident fermented to the end, and the final death toll in the country was quite shocking.

A large number of livestock and even the decomposed corpses of living people who died of dysentery just floated casually to be devoured by ferocious flesh-eating water rats the size of cats and dogs. The water bugs also flooded into the streets and alleys of Yangchuan City and occupied the houses, and for a while there was no room for living people.

What's even more chilling is that, apart from those giant water rats that are elusive and can't be killed with sticks and tongs, in the streets and alleys of Yangchuan City at that time, for some reason, it was rumored that the angry Sifang water ghost under the Dragon Throne was everywhere. Strange rumors of death.

It is said that as soon as night falls, in the old sewer pipes along the street and in places where there is a lot of water during the day, there will be old people and children with blue hands grabbing people, and they can drag the living all the way to the underworld.

There are even eyewitnesses claiming that they have witnessed a pale but relatively intact female water ghost trying to return from the underworld to the underworld to look for her husband.

The female water ghost was wearing an elegant peony cheongsam, her mouth was bright red, her teeth were even and bright, she sounded vaguely like Wu Zhong's accent, and she spoke standard Wu Nong's soft language, as if she was singing a ditty when she opened her mouth. Once asked about his life, he will take the initiative to cry about the sad past of not seeing his husband for 38 years after he lived by the Taihu Lake.

Because of this incident, some people once speculated that the Dragon King whose keel was blown out by the fort might be the legendary Dragon King of Taihu Lake. These water ghosts and fish and shrimps probably also came from the same Taihu Lake. So the truth of the matter finally came to nothing.

However, these ghost stories that were mixed with some personal imaginations of the people, but were sufficiently sensational, were eventually compiled into a report that was popular in Shanghai at that time.

Although many literary scholars at that time wrote to seriously criticize this kind of anti-intellectual behavior that talked about ghosts and gods in daytime, which was neither scientific nor vulgar, but many of them were widely circulated at that time, about Taihu Dragon King, the Dragon King The strange stories of the famous Sifang water ghosts and shrimp soldiers and crab generals have been handed down like this.

However, after many years, Yangchuan City once again experienced the precursors of the Dragon King flood. Not only did it rain strangely for days in the urban area, but even before the flood, there must be corpse odor and rats eating cats. The words are right, and this has to make people feel a little hairy.

And although many people nowadays certainly don't believe in such a thing, for some parties who are closely following the progress of this matter, the significance of all that happened in the past few days is a bit different.

"Hey... I said you really plan to stay up all night to find out the Si's gate? To be honest, I still have doubts about whether the black dragon you are talking about really exists. Big suspicion, isn’t that the doppelganger of your family who didn’t know where he came from and made it up to lie to you and Qin Niuniu…”

Sitting together on Zhao's divine horse carriage galloping through the night clouds, Jin Heng, who sat in front of the car and searched for the sky while driving, and Liao Feiyun, who was beside him, said these words casually, and then it was inevitable talked about this issue.

Hearing this, Jin Heng, who didn't have many superfluous expressions on his face, didn't say anything in a hurry. He just looked at the night sky in front of the carriage and thought for a while, then frowned and said slowly,

"The black dragon, Qin Xuan, is also known as the Undefeated General, because the Si family once helped Dayu to control the water and turned a dragon by the Sishui, and was also known as the Sishui Dragon King. Water ghosts and shrimp soldiers and crab generals all obey his orders, this is clearly recorded in the surname book, and it is impossible for anyone else to know except me."

"...Then...how did that doppelganger happen?"

"The doppelganger will know this, apart from the fact that he has indeed seen Qin Xuan himself being taken away by Meilang, and has had any contact with Qin Xuan, there can be no other reasons. Yang Chuan has been raining non-stop these days , there is still a faint trend of floods, and it is very likely that the lost Sishui Dragon King has been instructed to stay in the nearby clouds for a long time and has not left. To curb Sishui wine, only the legendary Si Dayu once again controlled the water, otherwise, when the rain flooded Yang Chuan and caused more casualties, Qin Gentiana would really be speechless this time."

Hearing the seriousness of Jin Heng's words, Liao Feiyun, who was still joking with him there, became inexplicably serious, but after thinking about it, he thought about other things inexplicably, and Liao Feiyun asked a little puzzled after thinking about it. ,

"Uh, alright, alright... What is the ancestor of the Shi family saying now? Are you really planning to help your Qin Niuniu hide the evidence this time? But the snake sloughs and red ropes left at the scene, and He went to Feng Zhichun's house, what if the ancestors of the Shi family find out, after all, you have to think about yourself in the end, in case you end up falling along with him..."

Liao Feiyun, who didn't feel that he was in the crow's mouth at all, was glanced at by Jin Heng blankly before he finished speaking, and he was stunned when he saw this, and then quickly covered his mouth, and the old Comrade Liao poohed embarrassingly. He explained dryly,

"Don't, don't, I... I'm talking nonsense, don't believe me, didn't you make an agreement with Shi Xiaoguang and Qin Niuniu's mother... wait until you find out the truth... then Explain everything slowly so as not to cause any misunderstandings in advance, they seem... well... they are quite reasonable, and they shouldn't deliberately trick you on this kind of thing or..."

When Liao Feiyun said this, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the mother and son were just ordinary people, and it was impossible to really go beyond Jinheng's way to do some unnecessary things. When he said this, Jinheng with a complicated expression Unconsciously, he also recalled Feng Zhichun, who was curled up on the hospital bed when he went to the hospital a few days ago, looking pitifully dazed and even a little dull.

Losing her son and her husband one after another had dealt a huge blow to this woman. When Jin Heng approached the ward, she couldn't even make a sound from her throat, she just looked at the pale top of her head silently as if she was dying, No matter what people around her said, she didn't respond at all.

And I wanted to ask her about the strange book that Shi Xiaoguang once mentioned, but in the end he didn't say anything, just explained to Jin Heng some things that had to be concealed with her help Then he left just like that, but for some reason, he always had a premonition that something was wrong these two days, so that even though he knew that Gentiana Qin was staying safely in the Chongjie, he was still a little worried.

And it seems that he also noticed the strange emotion of the Jinheng Assassin. Liao Feiyun, who knew that he had said something wrong just now, was also a little guilty, so he could only take the time to say something else while continuing to fly in the sky with him. For some reason, it also brought up a somewhat strange topic.

"Hey, but when you say it this way, Jin Heng, Sishui Dragon King, sounds quite powerful... Then your Qin Niuniu will become a real dragon in the future. Doesn't she have to have a special name? The subordinates still have to manage a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the Quartet Water Ghost...Then what is the name of the pond he is staying in now..."

"...It seems to be called Chishui."

He replied hesitantly, but he wasn’t quite sure in his heart. Jin Heng had never been to the Jiaojun fiefdom of Gentiana Qin in the Chongjie. The reason why Gentiana Qin likes to go to the fish pond to watch frogs is because of the dragon, and it is also because Chishui used to be a swamp with a lot of frogs.

And when he heard him say that, Liao Feiyun, who was particularly annoying, also made a fuss and bluffed, then he suddenly paused for a while and then deliberately joked,

"Oh... so he has to be called Chishui Dragon King after he transforms into a dragon, right?"

"It should be, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, but since he will be called Chishui Dragon King in the future, don't you have to have a slightly more foreign name after him haha... For example, the man of the Dragon King? Let's say..."

"..."

"Red—water—dragon—husband—"

Jin Heng: "..."
