At 10:30 in the morning, Mrs. Xu returned from going out with a hoe. She went out at 6 in the morning and worked in the fields all morning. At this time, the sun was getting more and more intense, so she just went home to cook.
There was a cage of chickens in the yard. After washing and cooking the rice, she caught some millet and fed it to the chickens that kept digging the ground all day long. Two eggs have just been laid in the chicken coop, and it’s time to fry some leek and eggs at noon.
Usually at this time, she cooked the rice and cooked the dishes, sitting under the eaves and waiting for her husband to come back from the field. But now she was alone. Since the death of my grandson, my son has left, and so has my wife.
When her son left, he wanted to take her with him, but she didn't want to. It was outrageous to leave her hometown at such an old age. But I still miss Old Man Xu in my heart. Someone is in the village, so it’s good to have someone to take care of him.
She just couldn't forgive Old Man Xu. She didn't even think well of him as a person. He was just a little grandson who was gone at the last word, and he was still making nonsense about monsters eating people. He made me angry. No wonder his son wanted to cut off relations with him.
"Bah bang bang!"
The rusty iron door was knocked loudly.
The village chief's voice came from the door: "Sister-in-law, are you here?"
The old lady opened the door blankly and was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her. Many villagers gathered around the door. The one who knocked was the village chief. Behind the village chief were two policemen and old man Xu.
"Why are you coming back?" Mrs. Xu scolded her wife and then looked at the village chief.
"Old man Xu caught a monster in the reservoir. Really, there is a monster. Your family wrongly blamed him." The village chief looked excited. He never mentioned the fact that there was a lot of discussion in the village and scolded Old Man Xu.
"Where did the monster come from? It's a crocodile, a big crocodile. I don't know who released it." A middle-aged policeman said: "Fortunately, we caught it, otherwise someone would have suffered if they went to the reservoir."
The village chief nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's a crocodile. The boss is a crocodile."
Another policeman continued: "We are here to deliver the banner this time. We also have these five hundred yuan. Please take it."
The banner was unfolded, with these two columns of golden characters: The sword is still young, it can eliminate harm for the people.
There is also a signature from the local police station.
The surrounding villagers applauded and cheered loudly.
"Where did the crocodile come from in our reservoir? It's really strange."
"The police said it was probably a crocodile raised by people in the city who no longer wanted to keep it and threw it into the mountains."
"Fortunately, Old Man Xu cast a net in the reservoir and was caught by it, otherwise it would kill someone again one day. Hey, that crocodile is really big."
"You didn't see it."
"Nonsense, I saw the tail. It's thick and long. If the police didn't allow me to take pictures, I would have taken them for you to see."
Mrs. Xu looked at everyone blankly and listened to their voices. She asked several times, "Are there really crocodiles?" and "Are there really crocodiles?"
The middle-aged policeman said: "It's true. This matter will be on the news in a few days, and the banner is coming. How can it be false?"
After receiving a positive answer, Mrs. Xu sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
When Old Man Xu woke up in the morning, the police had taken over the monster's body and covered it with a white cloth. He looked around but could not find the two young men. He was interviewed by the police, who told him it was a crocodile, but a bit rare... and told him he could go home.
Old man Xu didn't care about the truth or falsehood, and cried heartbreakingly.
The police carried the monster's body down the mountain and did not leave in a hurry. Intentionally or unintentionally, they attracted a crowd of villagers to watch. By the way, we announced the news that Old Man Xu caught a big crocodile in the reservoir.
The monster's body was covered with white cloth and was never shown to the world. Now it has been transported away, leaving two policemen to take Old Man Xu home and solemnly present the banner.
The great revenge was avenged, but Old Man Xu felt empty. The two young policemen did not show up, and he could not even say thank you.
Outside the crowd, Grandma Grandma and Li Xianyu were eating spicy strips and watching the excitement. The banner was requested by Li Xianyu, which was a strong evidence for Old Man Xu to prove his innocence. Those police officers were actually employees of the Luzhou branch. After dealing with the horned salamander, he contacted the Luzhou branch and asked the company to send people to put an end to the matter.
Headquarters vampire group.
Walking pile driver: "@雷电法王, the Anshan Village Reservoir mission has been confirmed as a strange event, but the circumstances are somewhat inconsistent. I apply to increase the points reward."
King Thunderbolt quickly responded: "How do you say that?"
The Anshan Village Reservoir incident is a suspected blood incident. If the investigation turns out to be a real crocodile eating people, then Li Xianyu's trip will be in vain.
So far, only one child has died, and the harm is worse than a traffic accident, so even though the upper limit of points given for this task is 10 points.
Walking pile driver: "A few days ago, a strange creature came to the reservoir. It was a horned salamander. It was pregnant with a baby, so it went to the reservoir to wait for delivery and happened to eat one of the babies... "
Li Xianyu explained the situation again.
King Thunder and Lightning: "Wait a minute, I made a typo. Are you sure it's a horned salamander, not a giant salamander?"
Walking Pile Driver: "The giant salamander with the horns on its head is called a horned salamander, right? A hundred years later it will be a mountain dragon, and two hundred years after that it will be a dragon. Grandma told me."
King Thunder and Lightning: "It's actually a horned salamander? Oh my god, this thing has been extinct since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it's not extinct yet. Okay, okay, I'll notify the Luzhou branch right now and we must capture it alive..."
As soon as the message was sent, Li Xianyu sent two photos at the same time. One was a skinny frame, and the other was half a person's height with horns.
Walking pile driver: "There is a picture and the truth... Um, do you want to capture the Dharma King alive?"
King of Thunder and Lightning: "[vomit blood] [vomit blood] [vomit blood] [vomit blood]"
Vulcan: "[vomit blood] [vomit blood] [vomit blood] [vomit blood]"
Walking Piledriver: "Any questions."
King Thunder and Lightning: "That's a species on the verge of extinction. Are you going to kill it on your own terms?"
King Thunder and Lightning is really a veteran. Salamanders have been rare since ancient times, and horned salamanders that can grow into horns are even rarer. He kind of saw the legendary dinosaur, the last one in the world, but he was shot at randomly in the next second. Feeling of collapse.
Vulcan: "@walkingpiledriver, you killed a horned salamander? Oh my God, my mentality exploded."
Walking pile driver: "It eats people. Is there a problem if I kill it? Isn't the purpose of our company to eliminate these harmful aliens?"
King Thunder and Lightning: "... That's true, but the horned salamander is too precious. It has great research value. You should contact the company as soon as possible. The company will send people to capture it alive."
Vulcan: "Since you know that the horned salamander can transform into a dragon, have you ever thought about it? There are so many blood descendants in the world, but no matter how powerful the aliens or humans are, they can't break through the species prototype. But the dragon salamander can. Have you ever thought about the reason? ? With this kind of thing, if one of you dies, it’s a loss.”
Walking pile driver: "It's too late. Grandma and I have dismantled the horned salamander's body and thrown it into the reservoir. The cubs will be handed over to colleagues in the Luzhou branch for disposal."
King Thunder and Lightning: "There are still cubs, thank God."
Vulcan: "Let the Luzhou branch place the cub properly. I'll be back in a few days."
Walking Piledriver: "Come back and see its body."
King of Thunder and Lightning: (?｀?Д?′)!!
Vulcan: (╯°□°)╯︵┻━┻
Girl Killer: "This is nothing surprising. Meeting a horned salamander is nothing. I'm not surprised that Li Xianyu meets an alien when he goes out."
King Kong: "Then the aliens went crazy and insisted on abducting him."
Murphy: "After taking him away, his grandma exploded."
Li Bai: "Bang, world nuclear peace."
Li Shizhen's skin: "Terrible things force the body."
Walking Piledriver: "... .."
At this time, the God of Cookery, who had not been talking for a long time, jumped out: "@walking pile driver, where is the horned salamander? I will pay a lot of money to buy its body."
Walking pile driver: "Boss, why do you want its body? I kept it in the reservoir."
God of Cookery: "Idiot, are you throwing this top-notch food into the reservoir? Pick it up quickly, bastard. I'm willing to pay 100 points to buy the horned salamander carcass in your hand."
The book records that the meat of the dragon salamander is delicious and is the best food. It is said that Cixi once ate a mountain dragon and remembered it for many years. This legendary ingredient is much more delicious than the bear paws he chopped off.
Walking Piledriver: "So that's what it is, but it's a pity."
God of Cookery: "What do you mean?"
Walking pile driver: "I drained the horned salamander of its essence and blood, leaving only a skeleton and skin. The flesh is gone, just like a mummy."
God of Cookery: "......"
Half a day later, the God of Cookery entered the message in pain: "I am also mentally disturbed. Let's do this, you can send me the bones back."
Walking Piledriver: "Making bone broth?"
God of Cookery: "Yeah."
Walking Piledriver: "Fifty points?"
God of Cookery: "This one has a maximum of twenty points, but if you add horns, it will be fifty points."
Fifty points are a year's basic salary for senior employees.
Walking Pile Driver: "This won't work. I won't sell the horns. I'm confused whether to soak the horns in wine or keep them as family heirlooms."
Thunder Warrior: "Heirloom? Why should this thing be a heirloom?"
Walking pile driver: "Zhan Ji, my old Li family was also a famous weapon-refining family back then."
Thunder Warrior Ji squinted: "But your superpower is not strengthening."
Walking Pile Driver: "So let's keep it as a family heirloom for my son."
Thunder Warrior: "..."
Grandma finished eating the spicy strips and wiped her greasy fingers clean on her great-grandson. "What did the King of Thunder and Lightning say? Do you agree to increase the points?"
Li Xianyu nodded: "We have agreed to increase the point reward for this mission to 25 points. If we can capture him alive, we will get 50 points. The King of Dharma and the Vulcan are eager to kill me."
"Haha, let's go shopping at the Luzhou branch." Grandma smiled happily. She made an agreement with her great-grandson that the extra points would be converted into soft sister coins and given to her as a filial piety.
"Wait a minute, let's go back to the reservoir first and fish out the horned salamander."
"Why?"
"The God of Cookery is willing to spend twenty points to buy bones. Well, we can get half of it each."
"okay."
"Then, after staying in Luzhou for one day, let's rush to the next mission."
Grandma twisted her waist and said, "No, I'll wait for three days and scan all the gourmet restaurants in Luzhou first."
Li Xianyu thought for a while: "That's okay. Let's go to the Luzhou branch again and give the branch's chef the bit of meat we cut off from the baby dragon salamander."
