At 10: 30 in the morning, Old Lady Xu went out with a hoe and returned. She left at 6: 00 in the morning and worked in the fields for the whole morning. At this time, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and it was just the right time to go home to cook.
There was a cage of chickens in the yard. After she washed the rice and cooked it, she caught a handful of grains to feed the chickens that kept digging the ground all day long. Two eggs had just been laid in the chicken coop. It was just the right time to fry chives and eggs for lunch.
Usually, at this time, she would have finished cooking and sat under the eaves waiting for her husband to come back from the fields. But now she was alone. Ever since the death of his grandson, his son, and his wife had passed away.
When her son left, he wanted to take her with him, but she didn't want to. It was outrageous for him to leave his hometown at such an old age. However, he was still worried about Old Man Xu. With someone in the village, it would be good to have someone to take care of.
She just couldn't forgive Old Man Xu. He couldn't even take good care of a person. He only had this little grandson, and he was gone just like that. He even made up a story about monsters eating people. No wonder his son wanted to cut off all ties with him.
"Pa pa pa!"
Someone knocked on the rusty iron door.
The Village Chief's voice came from the door, "Sister-in-law, are you there?"
The old lady opened the door in a daze and was stunned by the scene in front of her. There were many villagers at the door, and the person who knocked on the door was the village chief. Behind the village chief were two policemen and Old Man Xu.
"Why did you come back?" Old Lady Xu scolded her husband and looked at the village chief.
"Old Man Xu caught a monster in the reservoir. It's true. There really is a monster. Your family has wronged him." The village chief looked excited. He did not mention that the villagers were gossiping about Old Man Xu.
"Where did this monster come from? It's a crocodile, a big crocodile. I wonder who released it." A middle-aged policeman said, "Fortunately, we caught them. Otherwise, if someone went to the reservoir, they would be in trouble."
The village chief hurriedly nodded. "Yes, it's a crocodile. Boss has a crocodile now."
Another policeman added, "We're here to deliver the silk banner, and here's five hundred yuan. Please take it."
The banner was unfurled, and there were two rows of golden words on it: The treasured sword is not old, eliminate evil for the people.
There was also the signature of the local police station.
The surrounding villagers applauded and cheered loudly.
"How can there be crocodiles in our reservoir? That's strange."
"The police said it might be a crocodile raised by a city resident. They didn't want to raise it anymore, so they threw it into the mountains."
"Fortunately, Old Man Xu cast a net in the reservoir and caught it. Otherwise, it would have bitten someone to death one day. Hey, that crocodile is really big. "
"You didn't see it."
"Nonsense. I saw the tail. It was thick and long. If the police didn't forbid me from taking pictures, I would have taken it for you."
Old Lady Xu looked at the crowd blankly and listened to their conversation. She repeatedly asked, "Is there really a crocodile?" and "Is there really a crocodile?"
The middle-aged policeman said, "It's true. This matter will be on the news in a few days. The pennant will be here too. How can it be fake?"
Old Lady Xu sat on the ground and burst into tears when she got a positive answer.
When Old Man Xu woke up that morning, the police had already taken over the monster's body and covered it with a white cloth. He looked around but did not see the two young men. He was questioned by the police, who told him that it was a crocodile, but it was a little rare … and told him that he could go home.
Old Man Xu did not care whether it was true or not. He cried his heart out.
The police carried the monster's body down the mountain. They were not in a hurry to leave, intentionally or unintentionally attracting the attention of the villagers. At the same time, they announced that Old Man Xu had caught a giant crocodile in the reservoir.
The monster's body was covered with a white cloth and was not shown to the world. Now, it had been carried away. Two police officers were left to bring Old Man Xu home and solemnly gave him the pennant.
His revenge was avenged, but Old Man Xu felt empty. The two young police officers did not appear. He could not even thank them.
Outside the crowd, Great-grandmother and Li Xianyu were munching on spicy sticks and watching the scene. The pennant was requested by Li Xianyu. It was a strong evidence to prove Old Man Xu's 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 someone to clean up the mess.
Blood Kin group at the headquarters.
The walking pile driver said, "Dharmaraja, the Anshan Village reservoir mission has been confirmed as a mutant incident. However, the situation does not match. I would like to request an increase in the reward points."
Dharmaraja quickly responded, "What do you mean?"
The Anshan Village reservoir incident was suspected to be a Blood Kin incident. If the investigation showed that it was really a crocodile eating people, then Li Xianyu's trip would have been in vain.
So far, only one child had died. The harm was less than a traffic accident. Therefore, even if the mission's upper limit was 10 points, it would still be worth it.
The walking pile driver said, "A few days ago, a mutant came to the reservoir. It was a horned salamander. It was pregnant, so it went to the reservoir to wait to give birth. It happened to eat a child …"
Li Xianyu explained the situation.
Dharmaraja said, "Wait, that's a typo. Are you sure it's a horned salamander, not a serpent salamander?"
The walking pile driver said, "A serpent salamander with a long horn on its head is called a horned salamander, right? After a hundred years, it's a mountain serpent, and after two hundred years, it's a serpent dragon. Great-grandmother told me. "
Dharmaraja said, "It's a horned salamander? Oh my god, this thing has been extinct since the founding of the People's Republic, but it's still alive. Good, good, I'll inform the Luzhou branch. We must capture it alive … "
As soon as the message was sent, Li Xianyu sent two photos at the same time. One was a bony skeleton, and the other was a horn that was half the height of a person.
The walking pile driver said, "There are pictures to prove the truth … Uh, Dharmaraja, you want to capture it alive?"
Lightning Dharmaraja: "[Vomiting Blood] [Vomiting Blood] [Vomiting Blood]
Fire God: "[Vomiting blood] [Vomiting blood] [Vomiting blood] [Vomiting blood]
Walking pile driver said, "Is there a problem?"
Dharmaraja said, "That's a mutant that's on the verge of extinction. You killed it just because you said so?"
Dharmaraja really wanted to vomit blood. Serpent salamanders had been rare since ancient times, and those that could become horned salamanders were even rarer. He felt like he had seen the legendary dinosaur, the last one in the world, but in the next second, he felt like he was being shot.
Fire God said, "The walking pile driver, you killed a horned salamander? Oh my god, I'm about to explode. "
The walking pile driver: "It ate people. Is there a problem with me killing it? Isn't our company's aim to eliminate these foreign species that hurt people? "
Dharmaraja: "… That's true, but the Horned Salamander is too precious. It has great research value. You should have contacted the company earlier. The company will send someone to capture it alive."
Fire God: "Since you know that horned salamanders can transform into dragons, then have you ever thought that there are so many bloodlines in the world, but no matter how powerful the beasts and humans are, they can't break out of their original form? But the Flood Dragon Salamander was able to do so. Have you ever thought about the reason? It's a loss even if one of them dies. "
The Walking Pile Driver: "It's too late. Great-grandmother and I have already dismantled the Horned Salamander's corpse and thrown it into the reservoir. The Flood Salamander youngling will be handed over to our colleagues at the Luzhou branch to deal with. "
Dharmaraja: "There are still cubs, thank the heavens."
Fire God said, "Let the Luzhou branch take care of the cubs. I'll be back in a few days."
The walking pile driver asked, "Are you coming back to see its corpse?"
Dharmaraja: (? ? Д? ′)!!
Fire God: (? ° □ °)? (?)
Teenage Assassin: "There's nothing to be surprised about. So what if he ran into a Horned Salamander? I wouldn't be surprised if Li Xianyu ran into aliens when he went out."
King Kong: "Then the aliens went crazy and insisted on taking him away."
Murphy: "After they took him away, his Great-grandmother exploded."
Li Bai: "With a bang, the world went nuclear."
Li Shizhen: "What a terrible thing to do."
The Walking Pile Driver: "…"
At this time, the God of Cookery, who hadn't appeared for a long time, jumped out. "The Walking Pile Driver, where is the Horned Salamander? I want to buy its corpse at a high price."
The Walking Pile Driver: "Boss, why do you want its corpse? I threw it into the reservoir."
The God of Cookery: "Idiot, you threw such a top-grade ingredient into the reservoir? Pick it up, you bastard. I'm willing to spend 100 points to buy the Horned Salamander's corpse. "
According to the books, the Horned Salamander's meat was delicious and was a top-grade ingredient. It was said that Empress Dowager Cixi once ate a Horned Salamander and couldn't forget it for many years. This legendary ingredient was much more delicious than the bear paws he chopped off.
The Walking Pile Driver: "I see, but it's a pity."
The God of Cookery: "What do you mean?"
The Walking Pile Driver: "I drained the Horned Salamander of its blood, leaving only its skeleton and skin. There's no meat, just like a dried corpse. "
The God of Cookery: "…"
Half a day later, the God of Cookery painfully entered a message. "I'm also mentally broken. How about this, you send me the bones. "
The Walking Pile Driver: "Make bone soup?"
The God of Cookery: "Yes."
The Walking Pile Driver: "50 points?"
The God of Cookery: "This is at most 20 points, but if you include the horn, it's 50 points."
50 points was the basic salary of a senior employee for a year.
The Walking Pile Driver: "This won't do, I won't sell the horn. My grandmother is wondering whether to soak the horn in wine or keep it as a family heirloom."
Thunder Zhanhime: "Family heirloom? Why is this thing a family heirloom? "
The Walking Pile Driver: "Zhanhime, my old Li family was also a famous refining family."
Thunder Zhanhime sent a sideways glance. "But your ability is not enhancement."
The Walking Pile Driver: "So it's a family heirloom, for my son to use."
Thunder Zhanhime: "…"
Great-grandmother finished the spicy stick and wiped her greasy fingers on her great-grandson's body. "What did Dharmaraja say? Did he agree to increase the points?"
Li Xianyu nodded. "Yes, he agreed to increase the reward points for this mission to 25 points. If we can capture it alive, we'll get 50 points. Dharmaraja and Vulcan can't wait to kill me. "
"Haha, let's go shopping at the Luzhou branch." Great-grandmother beamed. She and her great-grandson had agreed to exchange the extra points for RMB and give it to her as a gift.
"Wait, let's go back to the reservoir first and fish out the Horned Salamander."
"Why?"
"The God of Cookery is willing to spend 20 points to buy the bone. Hmm, we'll split it half."
"Okay."
"Then, let's stay in Luzhou for a day and rush to do the next mission."
Great-grandmother twisted her waist. "No, let's stay for three days and sweep the gourmet shops in Luzhou first."
