Lezheng Zitan was speechless and glared at his subordinates.
"Hurry up and say it!"
As if he had received an amnesty, this man quickly revealed everything he knew.
"In a big river in our hometown, there is a big fish called 'Wuqing'. My grandfather and other people in his life said that it was the mount of the Sea Dragon King. It was banished to the river because it made a mistake.
Come."
"At that time, several villages around our river would hold fishing and hunting conferences every year. Young people from several villages would compete. Whoever could catch the largest black herring would win the prize."
"When my father was young, he and his old friends caught a big fish that was as long as a person. At that time, our old patriarch almost lost his temper because he said that he had never seen such a big fish in his whole life.
of fish.”
"In the end, he personally removed the flesh bit by bit from the fish, then washed the remaining skeleton, dried it, and enshrined it in the ancestral hall."
"I often went to play in the ancestral hall when I was a child. I have seen this big fish skeleton countless times, and it is very familiar to me. Now it seems that the fish skeleton we found this time is similar to the one in our ancestral hall."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, this guy has a talent for telling stories.
There was a hint of curiosity in Lin Mengya's eyes, "Have you ever seen this living big fish?" The young man shook his head and explained: "My father said that this fish is very powerful! The other fishes all eat aquatic plants and shrimps.
A small fish, this fish grew up eating meat. My father has personally seen this fish eat live chickens and ducks. As for eating
We don’t know about people who don’t eat people.”
"It's just that when they go fishing every year, they use the largest number of nets. People don't dare to stand directly in the water and catch fish."
When Lin Mengya heard this, she felt that there must be something strange about this fish.
He hurriedly called someone and asked the people who came forward to look for him to come back quickly.
Although the big fish is now a skeleton, it is unclear which year it was in the old almanac. If there are still descendants of these big fish in it, wouldn't those people be in great danger?
Fortunately, Long Tianyu held her shoulders and reminded her.
"I see the water level is so low, it doesn't look like there are any big fish."
This is true.
It is estimated that these big fish became skeletons because they were stranded.
Otherwise, such a big fish would definitely live in deep water.
As a result, the three people who went forward to explore the road brought back another news.
"Master, Your Highness, the further we walked, the deeper we found the water. It was already up to our calves just now. Even if you don't call us, we still have to come up."
While talking, several people took off their boots that had been soaked with water and poured out the water.
Lin Mengya asked people to quickly go to the car to change clothes and shoes. The underground water was too cold and was prone to unknown germs, so it was better to be careful.
So, the person who climbed down but did not climb in, was the underground river he wanted to find?
It's a pity that now that the person is dead, they no longer know.
But according to the person brought by Lezheng Zitan, if there are such ferocious carnivorous fish in the underground river, it will be quite dangerous down there.
"Master, should we put away this big fish skeleton?" Han Ye asked in a low voice.
Lin Mengya looked at the skeleton, which was as white as jade. It was rare to find such a complete and large fish skeleton.
"Well, put it away."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Long Tianyu's expression suddenly changed, and his figure was like lightning, and he appeared more than ten meters away in an instant.
"who?"
Lezheng Zitan was a little late, but he was also a practitioner, so he immediately followed Long Tianyu's movements and ducked over.
As for Han Ye and his party, they had already protected Lin Mengya tightly.
Not long after, a "plop" was heard, as if someone had fallen. No more cries of pain were heard, and then Lezheng Zitan came over with a bad look on his face.
"There was someone peeping over there just now. I was a step too late and that person escaped."
Lin Mengya nodded. In fact, she was not worried about her man's safety.
Long Tianyu is a very measured person. If the opponent moves so quickly, or if his martial arts skills are superior to his, he will definitely give a signal and let others follow him.
Now there is only one possibility.
He let people go on purpose.
I guess I noticed something was wrong and wanted to follow him to find that person's lair.
"Come on, let's follow them together. Leave a few people here to guard them. If anyone else comes close, take them down immediately to keep them alive."
She gave a few instructions, and Han Ye immediately ordered a few people to stay and watch. He and Lezheng Zitan followed Lin Mengya, following the code left by Long Tianyu.
Sure enough, the codes left by her men showed that her guess was correct.
Long Tianyu followed the man with ease, like a good hunter, casually playing with the prey that was escaping in a hurry.
Lin Mengya and the others were not in a hurry, but followed the marks and chased them all the way into the dense forest.
The landscape here of the Ancient Tribe is mountainous and forested. In fact, there are many places that can be cultivated, but the population here is insufficient. Even the fields that have been cultivated are many abandoned, let alone in such a deep forest?
In fact, this also caused some trouble.
For example, some small families like to live in this kind of forest and feel safe.
But it also cuts them off from opportunities to communicate with the outside world.
Under such circumstances, even if something happened to their whole family, it would be too hidden to be noticed by the outside world.
This census revealed many such cases.
As Lin Mengya walked, she lamented in her heart that this seemingly "safe" environment has become a "cage" for many people, from which they cannot escape throughout their lives.
No wonder there are many places in modern times that call for "going out of the mountains".
It’s not just that the roads in the mountains are remote and difficult to navigate, and resources are scarce.
The most important thing is that once a disaster occurs, the difficulty of rescue will be greatly increased, causing the people inside to miss the best time to be rescued.
It's a pity that the people here don't understand this yet, or in other words, the long-standing shortcomings of the ancient tribe have created this current situation.
It seems that Le Zhengyue and Du Zhige will both be busy in the future.
Several people followed Long Tianyu's traces until they reached the woods about a few miles away.
At this time, the sunset had already set, and the forest under the nightfall naturally seemed a bit eerie and scary.
Of course, the premise is for ordinary people.
Lezheng Zitan whispered to Lin Mengya worriedly: "How about we go back first? You have also seen that this forest is boundless. What if we get lost here?"
Before Lin Mengya could say anything, Han Ye said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lezheng, we have people here who are good at knowing the way, and we will never let you get lost here."
Le Zhengzitan opened his mouth, "Well, well, if there are wild insects or beasts or something..."
"That's even more impossible." Han Ye took out the purse hanging on his waist.
"We all have a special medicine bag made by the Gong family. With this, basically no bugs or wild beasts will come close to us."
Le Zhengzitan pursed her lips, feeling so envious all of a sudden!
It's a pity that he can't say it.
"Relax, since we are coming with you, I will definitely ensure your safety."
Lin Mengya never worried about getting lost or encountering some wild beast in the woods.
And when she just saw the mark left by Long Tianyu, she knew that this time they might find their real destination.
After passing through a patch of wild grass that was as tall as a person, they finally saw a familiar figure.
Right in front of Long Tianyu, several people were lying on the ground, and there was a vague feeling of confrontation.
Lin Mengya didn't dare to disturb him. The next moment she saw the figure lying on the ground pounced and headed straight for Long Tianyu.
But it is a pity that the other party's actions based only on the instinct of a beast cannot pose a threat to Long Tianyu, who is a master.
The other party didn't even reach the edge of his clothes before Long Tianyu grabbed him by the neck.
"Wait, don't kill yet."
Lin Mengya quickly spoke up to stop him.
Fortunately, Long Tianyu was not ruthless in his attack. He just hit the opponent's acupuncture point in one stroke. Then the guy who had been showing his teeth and claws just now was paralyzed in an instant, and he could only grin at him in horror.
Long Tianyu sneered and threw the person behind him.
Lin Mengya walked over in two steps and realized that it was actually a half-year-old child.
"Tail, tail! Look, there is actually a tail behind this thing!"
I don't know who it was, but it screamed in terror.
Immediately, someone shouted: "This must be the descendant of the mandrill! I heard that the mandrill likes women the most. It must be the mandrill who snatched the woman and went up the mountain to give birth to an heir!"
"Smash it to death! Such a non-human and ghost-like thing must not be left here!"
"Smash it to death!"
But Lin Mengya didn't think so. She looked carefully at the little guy in front of her.
Although he was wearing simple clothes made of rotten hemp and tree bark, the slight bulge in his chest could be vaguely seen.
This is still a little girl.
As for the "tail" on the butt, perhaps these people don't know the meaning of "atavism".
"Okay, shut up!" Lezheng Zitan yelled impatiently, "Look at each of you, she is only so big, how can she still eat you!"
Immediately, those who were shouting the loudest were forced to shut up.
But they don't know that from now on, they have been excluded from their and their brother's confidants by Lezheng Zitan.
What he and his brother need are capable people who can do the job. For example, the person who recognized the big fish bone just now is very cautious about advance and retreat. At least he knows to ask for his consent before speaking.
As for the few just now, they are just like a mob, unable to do their job at all, and on the contrary, they are reckless.
After returning, he sent them to unimportant positions so as not to ruin things between himself and his brother.
The young man who had just talked about the origin of fish bones didn't know why, but he felt that the eyes of the second young master looking at him were a bit friendly. Huh? I can't figure it out!
