The old man's surname was Liu, and he could hear the accents of Hu Bayi and the others, saying that when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, his eyes will burst into tears... That's pretty much what it means.
In short, Old Man Liu was very happy to meet three fellow villagers like Hu Bayi in this remote Gulan County, which is really far away from his hometown.
"I saw you just arrived, looking like drowned rats. Did something happen?" Old Liu, who briefly introduced himself and said that he had lived in Gulan County for decades, asked curiously.
At this time, Ding Ze had already finished his noodles. He and Old Man Liu were not fellow villagers, and their accents were different. So he took out the cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and pushed the cigarette case to the fat man on the table.
At the same time, he winked quietly at the fat man.
The fat man was still very smart and reacted immediately. He quickly finished the noodles in the bowl in two mouthfuls, wiped his mouth, picked up the cigarette and handed it to Old Man Liu enthusiastically.
"We were really unlucky. Not long ago, we took a small boat to cross the river. On the way, a big guy who didn't know what the hell it was appeared in the water, and almost capsized us and the boat."
The fat man is very eloquent... To put it bluntly, he is very eloquent. "Fortunately, we were lucky enough to avoid falling into the Yellow River and becoming water ghosts. Master Liu, do you know what that is?"
The fat man described the big guy who collided with the boat as best as he could.
Hu Bayi brought a stool from the side and asked Old Man Liu to sit down.
There are five people at the table, and if you keep interrupting each other, it’s not called chatting, it’s called quarreling.
Ding Ze said nothing, lit a cigarette, and listened quietly. He believed that with the fat man's wit, there would be no problems in this part of the plot.
Old man Liu smiled and held a cigarette, "So you have encountered that thing. You are really lucky. Those who run boats call it the River God. It sounds superstitious. In fact, that thing is a big river god."
fish."
"Normally you can't see it, but when there is a flood, it will come out. It's very evil. The people here call it the Iron-Headed Dragon King. I once saw it with my own eyes, and it also caused a flood."
"The Yellow River here in Gulan County is relatively shallow. There was an Iron-headed Dragon King stranded and lying on the bank. Almost everyone in the county came to watch."
"It was not yet liberated at that time. The common people were quite superstitious and there were a lot of people running boats. They all said that it was the river god and that it had to be sent to the river. As a result, the Iron-headed Dragon King burped before he could do anything.
What a fart."
"The common people are afraid, so they burn incense and worship, fearing that the river god will be angry and flood Gulan County."
"I just joined in the fun and ran to have a look. When I saw it, I was really scared. How could I have imagined that there could be such a big fish in the river."
Hearing this, the fat man asked out of curiosity, "Master Liu, what does that fish look like?"
Old man Liu smiled. He was also a talkative person. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop talking. "This big fish is really scary to say. The head of the fish alone is as big as the front of a Jiefang truck, but it's black."
And then the fish scales on the body, not to mention how big they are, actually have seven layers, they are blue, like steel, very hard."
Hearing this, Hu Bayi interjected and asked, "Then what happened to the fish? Was it eaten or buried?"
Old man Liu seemed to be amused when he heard this, "Then who dares to eat it? Aren't you afraid of the anger of the river god? The people were planning to bury it, but it happened to be a hot day at that time, and in less than a day,
That iron-headed dragon king is rotten, and the stench is so high that the whole county can smell it."
"It was too smelly, so I didn't dare to bury it, for fear of a plague, and everyone would have to die. So, some brave people in the county cut the fish meat and lit a fire, leaving only one
Vice skeleton."
Big Jinya made a sound at this time. He was an antique collector, so the words were naturally from his perspective. He sighed and said, "It's such a pity. If such a big fish is sent to a museum and made into a specimen, it will definitely be...
There are a lot of people visiting.”
Old Man Liu nodded, "Isn't it true? But no one dared to do such a thing at that time."
Hearing this, Ding Ze decided to interject and ask, "What about Master Liu, how did you deal with that fish skeleton?"
Old man Liu heard this and smiled, "Speaking of this, it's a coincidence. At that time, everyone was discussing what to do with the fish skeleton, and suddenly a businessman from out of town stood up from the crowd and expressed his willingness to pay.
Build a fish bone temple and bless your country with peace."
"Why don't you have feelings? Everyone was worried and didn't know what to do. A rich man happened to come and was willing to pay. They hit it off and the fish bone temple was built on Longling not far from here."
Ding!
Got it!
-------------------
Ding Ze was overjoyed, and at the same time, there were a lot of idiot viewers in the live broadcast room... Again, idiots don't mean there aren't smart people among them.
Even though smart people are smart, they can also be fools. I just saw...
"Longling! This game world is called Longling Labyrinth!"
"Haha, yes!!!"
"The anchor is so awesome, he got the clue so quickly."
"As expected, he is indeed the anchor of Wolf Slayer King. He doesn't even need to say anything. He just sits there and smokes and gets things done. Awesome!"
"Speaking of which, is it because of the cigarettes? When you look at the anchors, they almost never let go of their cigarettes... Is there some kind of special connection here?"
"...Contact you, you big-headed devil! You know nonsense all day long! The anchor smokes all the time. That's because the anchor wants to lie down in the coffin as soon as possible. It has nothing to do with other things."
"!!! It makes sense, I can't refute it!"
"Smoking is harmful to your health. For the sake of you and your family, please quit smoking immediately!"
At the dinner table, Ding Ze had just lit another cigarette. When he heard this, he saw that Hu Bayi wanted to ask again, so he jumped in first.
"Fat man, look at Master Liu telling us a story. It's boring just to talk like that. It's still early. How about we get some wine and some dishes and we go to the room to eat and talk?"
Ding Ze said this. When the fat man heard this, he was really smart and immediately said, "Old Ding, you are absolutely right. Just talking is boring. Master Liu, just wait, I will go out to buy some food and wine."
After saying that, without giving Old Man Liu a chance to refuse, the fat man stood up and ran out. It was still raining outside, and he didn't care at all.
soon.
The story transitioned to the room.
Ding Ze took the initiative to ask Old Man Liu, "Master Liu, what does this foreign businessman have to say for funding the construction of a fish bone temple here? It sounds a bit strange to me."
Old man Liu was a good drinker, and his face turned red after a few glasses of wine.
"Little brother, what you said makes sense. Some people thought it was strange at the time. Although it is a good thing, it is quite strange for a stranger to do good things for no reason."
Ding Ze nodded, "Yes, I am quite rich, but I won't just throw my money away."
As soon as these words came out.
A bunch of idiot viewers in the live broadcast room: "..."
"No, I mean anchor!"
"Why am I so disgusted with your appearance as a nouveau riche?"
