Chapter 22 Xiangxi Pingshan

When the boatman heard what Lin En said, he rolled out of the way. After all, no matter how powerful the Dragon King was, wouldn't he be dragged ashore by this monster?

It's really terrible!

Lin En walked up to the "Iron-Headed Dragon King" and saw that it was still opening and closing its big mouth full of sharp teeth. This mouth was really big, and you might be able to walk right in if it opened it completely.

Linn jumped on it, squatted on its head and tapped it with his hand, and there was a clanging sound. Good guy, it is really hard!

He gently covered it with his palm, and with a burst of An Jin, there was a muffled "bang" sound.

Source energy +1...

A little less~

dislike!

Lin En curled his lips and called everyone, "Come on, let's eat grilled fish today!"

He looked at the boatman and asked, "Is there a village near here?"

"Yes, there is a village called Ganyuangou just over a mile to the west."

"Go and call all the villagers. Let's eat fish together tonight. If you don't eat it, it will go bad tomorrow. It's a waste!"

The boatman didn't dare to say anything more and trotted westwards.

After a while, a large group of people came from the west, old people, children carrying pots and basins, and there were no less than two hundred people.

When those people came closer and saw the "Iron-Headed Dragon King", they all fell silent. The old man said that this was the transformation of the River God, and that the Dragon King would be blamed for eating it and became even more panicked.

Lin En saw this and said loudly: "I killed the fish and raised the fire. If you want to blame, blame me. What are you afraid of? Besides, if you don't eat it, it will be wasted tomorrow!"

The villagers were right. Shaanxi has always been a poor place, and people don't have much to eat meat throughout the year. This time, if you can eat fish for free, you should make up your mind and eat your fill first.

Everyone swarmed over and stripped the fish, which weighed several tons, cleanly. The flesh was carefully shaved off, and the bones were collected and kept together.

The entire bank of the Yellow River is full of firelight and the smell of meat!

Lin En vomited it out after taking one bite. It was not delicious, old and hard, and had no freshness of the fish at all.

The common people don't care about this, as long as it is meat. The elderly and children will have round bellies after eating it.

This year is such a bad year and it’s another disaster year. Maybe a few more people can survive because of this meal of meat!

Lin En and Partridge Whistle left quietly.

The boatman told the story of how Lin En captured the "Iron-Headed Dragon King" in a jealous way. The villagers guessed that Lin En was definitely not a mortal, maybe a god!

Oddly enough, after the villagers finished eating the fish, the water level of the Yellow River dropped that day, and the villagers became more and more convinced that Lin En was a god.

The story became more and more sinister as it spread, and in the end, a local myth and legend emerged. It was said that in the 20th year of the Republic of China, a demon dragon in the river caused chaos and flooded thousands of miles. God sent a giant spirit god to fight with the demon dragon for three days, and the demon dragon was killed.

The dragon suppressed it, dragged it ashore, and distributed it to the people for food. The floods subsided, and the people lived a long life, etc...

Later, I heard that a businessman bought the fish bones and built a fish bone temple to ensure good weather. I don’t know what happened next.

After Lin En and the others left, they went all the way south, passing through Huashan Mountain and Qinling Mountains. They planned to cross Hubei and go straight to western Hunan.

However, heavy rains in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River caused disasters. Floods swept through eight provinces in the Yangtze-Huaihe River Basin. The Hankou embankment collapsed. It directly impacted the economic center of the Nanjing government. The floods caused a quarter of the country's population to be affected. Frequent riots occurred in Hubei and Anhui.

People can only transfer to Chongqing and then enter Hunan.

A large number of disaster victims fled south to seek refuge in Hunan, causing the collapse of order in various parts of Hunan. The government was unable to organize relief for the victims, chaos broke out, and warlord annexation intensified.

People with lofty ideals among the people opened warehouses to release grain to help stabilize the situation. Among the civilians who took the longest time to release grain and saved the most people, Chen Yulou was known as the leader of tens of thousands of Xiling.

This Chen Yulou is a legendary figure. He was born in the Xiling family. He has a huge fortune and countless fertile lands. He started his family by robbing tombs. The Chen family has been the leader of Xiling for three generations. Chen Yulou was born in the ancient tomb.

He only came out of the tomb when he was one month old, so he was born with a pair of night eyes, which can detect treasures in the world.

When he grew up, he inherited the family business and became the leader of Xieling. He relied not on ordinary skills but on his wide connections and large family business.

I want to buy guns and cannons from him.

Although this Chen Yulou man was treading in the mud, his heart was pure. Seeing countless victims starving to death on the roadside and Yi Zi eating each other, he couldn't bear it. So he opened the door of his house and opened the granary to stock food, leaving countless people alive.

But the number of victims is not 12,000, nor does it mean that if you eat today you won’t need to eat tomorrow. Day after day, the victims are gathering more and more, and no matter how big the family fortune is, they can’t withstand such consumption!

Moreover, victims of disasters from all over the country are still coming in a steady stream, and the journey is smooth, with warlords even leading the way.

The warlord who led the way for the victims was called Luo Laowai. He got the nickname Luo Laowai because of a long scar on his face and the crooked corners of his mouth.

Luo Laowai has a very good relationship with Chen Yulou. He was a warlord supported by Chen Yulou. He first gave people guns. When Luo Laowai had guns, he would grab the territory if anyone had it. If he grabbed the territory, he would organize an engineering battalion and put his own territory to the grave.

They were all stolen, and the property was used to buy guns and artillery to expand the territory. Within a few years of such expansion, he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he became one of the most powerful warlords in Hunan Province.

Luo Laowai recently wants to get big votes, equip a division at once, so as to establish his advantage in Hunan, annex other warlords, and dominate Hunan! Then annex Jiangdong, then unify the south, and then unify the whole country! Rebuild China!

But I don’t have any money!!!

So I came to Chen Yulou a few days ago to find a big tomb in partnership to make a fortune so that he can realize his dream of unifying the world!

But Chen Yulou was busy with disaster relief and ignored him.

He went back with a frown on his face, and a good idea came to his mind as soon as he rolled his eyes. Aren't you, Chen Yulou, going to provide food for disaster relief? Then I will help you and send all the victims from all over Hunan. Let's see how good you are.

A deep family can fill this bottomless pit.

Facts have proved that this trick is indeed effective. Chen Yulou's money to store food is getting tight, so he agreed to Luo Laowai's request. He mentioned that there are several Yuan Dynasty tombs in Pingshan, western Hunan. These Yuan Dynasty ancient tombs like to bury large treasures deep, among which there are many treasures.

The goods must be extremely plentiful, and if they can be discovered, they will surely solve an urgent need.

When Luo Laowai heard this, he jumped three feet high with joy! He pulled out his pistol and asked his adjutant to take the guard camp and engineer camp and set off!

Chen Yulou stopped him and decided to take a few people to trample the plates first. The people in Xiling and Luo Laowai's large army could hide behind them, and wait until they figured out the situation, then take them down in one fell swoop, and then run away.

!

After agreeing on the strategy, Chen Yulou took three of his confidants, Huamaguai, Hong girl and Kunlun, and went into the mountains together. Luo Laowai was eager to make a fortune, so he also took his adjutant and set off with Chen Yulou.

Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai deceived a child from the Miao village near Pingshan to lead the way. He walked all the way to Pingshan just in time for heavy rain. As a last resort, he stayed in a hotel in the mountains to take shelter from the rain. That night, he was lured out by a wild cat and fell into a trap.

Life and death are at hand!
