This whole meal made Li Guoqiang's family tremble with fear and feel uncomfortable. But at the same time, it was also the most worthwhile meal in Li Guoqiang's life.
During the meeting, Secretary Tian was concerned about the work status of the workshop director and the operation of the factory. I told him to do things down-to-earth and make contributions to the people of the country.
This made Li Guoqiang ten years younger as if he had been injected with chicken blood. After returning home, I tossed with his wife until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and there were two rounds.
...
the next day.
As soon as my mother came back from shopping for groceries, a man in his thirties with a steady demeanor came to the door carrying a gift. He claimed to be from the Public Security Bureau, and was ordered by Director Wu to visit Wang Yan's parents.
After drinking a few sips of tea and exchanging pleasantries, he got up to say goodbye.
After he left, my mother looked through the presents. They were all expensive tobacco and alcohol, as well as nutritional products such as ginseng, bird's nest, and cordyceps. Immediately, his face flushed with excitement, and he suddenly looked younger by several years.
In her words, the family used to celebrate New Years and holidays, and several relatives sent some worthless small gifts back and forth. Or thinking about whether to give some gifts to the leaders, but afraid of this and that.
This is good, the family turned around all of a sudden, and even Director Wu sent someone to bring gifts. This satisfied my mother's vanity like never before.
Just as the public security bureau left, people from the Municipal Party Committee came.
Naturally, there was another reception, and after the other party left some exquisite gifts, they left.
This whole morning, it started to flow in an endless stream. What tax bureau, education bureau, electric power bureau, street office, police station. This morning at the old Wang's house, people never stopped.
In the end, even the family planning office came to join in the fun.
My mother never tires of it, but how can Wang Yan bear it? The excuse was that I made an appointment with my classmates to go to Danghu Ancient Town, so I drove away in the car.
When Wang Yan went to Danghu Ancient Town, he wanted to avoid those people from his family who kept coming up to make connections. Secondly, the little monster in Danghu who has practiced for a hundred years must be dealt with.
Otherwise, no matter how good the newly bought villa is, Wang Yan would never dare to let his parents live there.
After spending a whole morning, Wang Yan visited some old farmers and fishermen along the lake, and also made inquiries in the town.
It turns out that Danghu Lake has always had legends about the lake god. Especially among some fishermen groups, every year before the start of summer fishing, they will sacrifice to the lake god first.
This tradition has been going on for hundreds of years.
For fishermen, the lake god is real. There is even an old fisherman in his seventies who said that he went fishing with his father in the lake when he was a teenager. As a result, when a typhoon landed, the small fishing boat could not stand the storm. Just when the boat was about to capsize and people died, the lake god appeared.
A huge black shadow carried the small fishing boat and drove them all the way to a sheltered bay.
It has been nearly sixty years, and when the old fisherman talked about this incident, he still remembers it clearly, and his new thoughts are very clear. Wang Yan asked a few details, and he was able to answer them one by one, and expressed them very clearly.
In the words of the old fisherman, it was a golden red-tailed carp seven or eight meters long. Because it jumped out of the water once when it left, and he saw it clearly. The whole body is covered with shining golden fish scales, and the tail is as red as blood.
This made Wang Yan a little strange. The black shadow he saw was three or four meters long, and it didn't look like a carp at first glance. Moreover, what happened to the old fisherman happened sixty years ago, and the breath revealed by that black shadow is one or two hundred years of Taoism.
The old fisherman said again that the legend of the lake god has been going on for hundreds of years. The old man of the lake god has been keeping the waters of this side safe. I heard from his grandfather that during the Anti-Japanese War, there was a brigade of little devils wandering in the lake in boats, sweeping around the villages along the lake, and they were extremely vicious.
As a result, the little devil's dozen or so speedboats were enveloped by a strange wind, and then all the people and boats disappeared. Everyone said that it was the lake god who appeared and took those little devils away.
Later, the little devil's base camp sent a large force to Danghu to encircle and suppress. In the end, something happened, and the encirclement ended. Since then, dozens of villages along Danghu Lake have never been persecuted by the little devils again.
Wang Yan listened to these stories with gusto.
The words of the old fishermen have also been verified in some other information channels. The story of the carp lake god seems to be widely circulated. Only in recent decades, there have been fewer and fewer stories about the appearance of the Lake God.
The last time the lake god appeared was more than ten years ago. A young man went fishing in a boat and accidentally fell into the water. He was rescued by a huge carp, which sprayed a jet of water and lifted him back to the boat.
Wang Yan also specifically inquired about the young man's name, and then obtained the other party's contact information through the intelligence system in the bureau. After a phone call, the "young man", who is now in his thirties, was very excited when he talked about this matter.
He told this story to many people, but no one believed it. They all said that he was frightened and stupid after falling into the water. In this world, how can there be a carp that is seven or eight meters long, weighs two or three tons, and can spray water?
Now the only one who still believes him after hearing this story is his three and a half year old daughter.
After listening to him tell the whole story, Wang Yan expressed his thanks. Then he squatted by the lake and smoked a cigarette and thought about it. Judging from the comprehensive information, there is indeed a monster in the lake, and it sounds like a kind and helpful monster.
Thinking about it, it is indeed true. If such evil things as missing people happened from time to time, the National African Bureau would have already noticed this place.
With the ability of our State African Affairs Bureau, it is impossible to let a harmful monster continue to go unpunished.
But Wang Yan also noticed another piece of news. In the past two years, there have been five or six missing cases. The missing include some villagers, tourists and fishermen around Dang Lake.
Some fishermen also responded that they saw a huge black shadow three to four meters long in the lake. As soon as that black shadow sprang up, a streak of white water would appear on the surface of the water.
This information is very consistent with the signs that Wang Yan saw with his own eyes.
This made Wang Yan wonder if there was a little demon besides the lake god carp in the whole lake?
The reason why Wang Yan wanted to scout for information everywhere was to find out the origin and footsteps of the other party, and also to take targeted action. Secondly, according to the principle of peaceful coexistence of human beings and demons signed by the State African Bureau and Yaolei. The State African Bureau must have a certain process for dealing with demon life.
For monsters that have never harmed people, you can use methods such as capturing and inducing them to move them to the monster natural habitat protection area. However, if the other party refuses to agree, the forced relocation shall not be carried out.
As for those monsters who have harmed people, the National African Bureau has the right to sentence them, imprison them, or even execute them.
Wang Yan has to figure out whether the monster has ever harmed anyone, and this also determines how drastic methods Wang Yan can use against it.
Judging from the information that Wang Yan has received so far, Wang Yan decided to find the monster first. See if you can communicate, and then decide what means to use to deal with it.
Generally speaking, carp are relatively mild-tempered. And once the wisdom is activated, the wisdom is not weak.
In the next few days, Wang Yan rented a speedboat in Danghu Ancient Town, pretended to be a fisherman, and wandered in the lake to search. Sadly, nothing came of it.
...
On this day, Wang Yan came to Danghu Ancient Town again early in the morning.
He was wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses. Wearing a white T-shirt, loose casual shorts, and a pair of elastic sneakers.
Even after several days in the sun, Wang Yan's skin was only slightly darkened, showing a textured light wheat color. Instead of reducing his temperament, it made him more sunny and handsome.
Park your car. With a fishing tackle bag in one hand and a huge two-meter-long box in the other, he walked towards the pier with ease. The little ferret squatted on Wang Yan's shoulder, too lazy to move.
Huh?
Today's Danghu Ancient Town is a little different from usual. Early in the morning, a dense crowd gathered, many of whom were girls in their teens or twenties.
"Wu Xiuxin, you are so handsome. Wu Xiuxin, I love you."
The yelling one after another made Wang Yan wonder and wonder, who is that Wu Xiuxin?
