Chapter 87: The Stone Statue of the Divine Beast Guarding the River

When the work was over, Village Chief Qi told everyone about Director Chen's praise. The villagers were very happy and thought that their work was recognized. With the praise from Director Chen of the commune, the enthusiasm of the villagers was mobilized again, and they shouted slogans and worked together.

The villagers also found that there were many fish in the water of the river section they were responsible for, but not in other places. The fish caught at noon were enough for lunch, and everyone caught fish and took them home to feed their families.

Qijia Village has completed 1,700 meters of the project, and there are still 300 meters to complete the task.

This is the eleventh day of Qijia Village. If it is completed tomorrow, it will be completed in fourteen days with two more days of inspection, which is six days ahead of schedule.

If it is completed early, not only will there be rewards, but you will start to hibernate afterwards, and you will have nothing to do for the whole winter. When they came early in the morning, everyone was in high spirits and competed to be the first.

Just when everyone was working hard, someone from the next village, Hujia Village, shouted in panic: "Someone is dead, someone is dead..."

It is very tiring to dig in the river, but those who come are young and strong, and no one will die because of fatigue or cold water.

The people of Hujia Village quickly carried the strong man covered with black air to the shore, and others did not care about working and came to check.

"Go and get a doctor." The village party secretary of Hujia Village immediately said to a young man next to him, "There is a bicycle over there, ride faster."

"Yes, village chief." The young man ran to get a doctor. He was worried that if he was slow, his distant cousin would die.

Just when everyone was surrounding the fainted man, someone else shouted: "Someone fainted, someone fainted..."

After being carried up by all hands and feet, he was put together with the previous big man. They were all black on their bodies, with no other wounds, but they were unconscious.

This one is in his twenties, and the other is in his forties. They were in good health before, but suddenly fainted. It is absolutely impossible for a barefoot doctor to treat them.

Secretary Hu immediately sent people to send the two to the commune hospital. He also ordered people to seal off the place where the two fainted just now, braving the black water, and not let anyone get close. Everything will be reported to the organization and the leadership will give instructions.

If it was just a simple injury, Secretary Hu could make the decision, but now two people are in danger, he dare not make a decision on his own.

After lifting them onto the ox cart, they were hurriedly sent to the commune hospital.

Other villagers did not dare to go into the water, and stood on the shore waiting for people from the commune to deal with the matter.

Village chief Qi also went to take a look, and after returning, he asked everyone to be careful. If there is black water or strange places in the water, come up immediately and don't continue to work in the water.

He Tiantian was puzzled. When she was a river worker in her previous life, she didn't hear about such a thing happening in Hujia Village. What is going on?

He Tiantian, who was washing vegetables, silently said in her heart: "Gulu Gulu Mi, please help the Snake King!"

The Snake King, who was immersed in cultivation, opened his mung bean eyes in the barrier and asked lazily: "What do you want me to do at this time? Haven't I already got you this piece of fish and shrimp in the river? Is it not enough to eat?"

He Tiantian was stunned and asked: "This... So all these are done by you, Snake King?"

He Tiantian couldn't believe it. Before, she heard Director Chen and Secretary Qi say that there were no fish and shrimp in other sections of the river, only here, and she didn't believe it. Now that the Snake King spoke, He Tiantian believed it.

"What do you think?" It didn't say it, but it didn't mean it didn't do it. He Tiantian was very thin. It hoped that He Tiantian could get a little fatter. After it replenished the holy blood, it would feel less guilty.

"Thank you, Snake King, hehe." He Tiantian said gratefully. The Snake King was so good to her. She didn't know how to repay the Snake King.

"Thanks are meaningless. Tell me what's going on." The Snake King was so happy to receive He Tiantian's thanks, but he looked very impatient and asked for a beating.

However, He Tiantian was in a good mood and didn't care about the Snake King's arrogant attitude. In fact, the Snake King was still very cute.

"We are fine here. It's just that in the next village, two people fainted while working. They were all black. I don't know what happened. There is a place in the river where black water is gushing out. Fortunately, they are downstream. If it is upstream, our village will also be unlucky. Snake King, you have great magical powers. Do you know what's going on?" He Tiantian explained, and at the same time flattered the Snake King without leaving a trace.

After hearing this, the Snake King closed his cold little eyes, released his spiritual sense, and followed the direction He Tiantian said to feel carefully. After a while, the Snake King opened his eyes.

"What happened?" He Tiantian asked hurriedly. She always felt that the place where the accident happened was strange and she felt uneasy.

"Those two people moved the untouched places, and now they are punished by the stone statues of the river guardian beasts. This matter is God's will, and I can't help." The snake king said slowly. It turned out that in the ancient times of this space, there were also beasts, but because of the ancient wars, countless wars, many died, and the number dropped sharply. In addition, several geographical changes, the spiritual energy here is thin, and many beasts left here, leaving only creatures without spiritual intelligence.

It was from that time that humans, forced by the changes in the environment, gradually gained spiritual intelligence, learned to use tools, make tools, and were good at thinking, and slowly became the rulers of this world.

Even if those beasts and powerful beings left this world, what they had done still left traces in this place, such as this river that has not dried up for tens of thousands of years.

"Can there be mythical beasts here?" He Tiantian asked in surprise. The existence of the Snake King opened a door to fantasy and unknown for her. It turned out that besides her original knowledge, there were many other things that she had only known before. You can see the content in mythological novels or mythological TV series.

"There are no mythical beasts here anymore. It's just a stone statue of a river-suppressing beast left by the great power in ancient times. There is a spell on it to protect the river from drying up and flooding." The Snake King replied, "In the future, this The area is dozens of miles around, so it’s probably not going to be very peaceful.”

This river flows through the entire Taoyuan County. It has existed for thousands of years after being repaired by generations. It nourishes the fields on both sides of the river and supports hundreds of thousands of local people.

Now humans have accidentally triggered the spell and are going to be punished, even the Snake King can't do anything about it. Now, what's the point?

However, He Tiantian was also puzzled and asked: "Snake King, rivers were repaired here before, but nothing like this happened? What is the reason for this?"

He Tiantian thought that things might not be as simple as she thought. She didn't have access to these inside stories before, but now that she has the Snake King, she hopes to know more.
