Chapter 44: The Resurrected Sea Monster(1/2)
"You two, when you come to the village, you must abide by the rules here. During the Bon Festival, you are not allowed to kill, let alone fish, otherwise you will attract sea monsters!"
On the edge of the beach, a middle-aged man looked at Fengyuan and Baizi with an unkind expression and said.
The two of them originally thought that they would catch some fish and prepare dinner when they got here, but they were stopped by the middle-aged man in front of them, who was the village chief.
"Excuse me, why is this?"
Fengyuan frowned and asked after hearing this.
"There has been a legend here as early as a hundred years ago that if you fish during the Bon Festival, you will attract sea monsters! You know, there used to be large groups of sea monsters in the Ohkari River in front of you.
Schools of salmon, also known as salmon, but now, just because some people don’t follow the rules, we can’t catch any fish in normal times!
So, no matter what, please don’t fish here and anger the sea monster!”
The village chief said with a serious face.
"Ah, okay, I understand, I will pay attention!"
After hearing this, Fengyuan didn't know what to say anymore, put away his fishing equipment, and then walked around to the village chief.
"Can you tell me more about the sea monster?"
Out of trust in Jianwu and curiosity about the sea monster, Fengyuan asked the village chief with a smile.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm a member of Team Mike. Even if there is a sea monster, I will help you fight it off!"
Seeing that the village chief was somewhat suspicious of his motives, Fengyuan couldn't help but reveal his identity.
"Are you really from Team Mac?"
The village chief asked dubiously after hearing this.
"Yes, I am indeed a member of Team Mike! So, please tell me carefully about the sea monster."
Fengyuan said confidently and seriously.
The village chief nodded after hearing this, and then took Fengyuan and the two to a temple not far away.
Inside the temple.
"Look, you two, this is the file I borrowed from the abbot. It records the appearance of sea monsters a hundred years ago. It also contains rubbings of the footprints left by sea monsters on the beach.
"
The village chief opened the file and handed it to Fengyuan.
"Oh my God, can it be said that that sea monster has survived for more than a hundred years?"
Baizi said in surprise when he heard this.
"Yes, that's why we have such a rule! If we don't follow the rules, everyone will suffer!"
The village chief nodded and said with a sad face.
"No, this is not a sea monster, it is the footprints of a Pottsian!"
Fengyuan's eyes narrowed upon seeing this, and after carefully examining the footprints, he said solemnly.
"Pots people? Could it be that the sea monster is a cosmic person?"
Baizi and the village chief were shocked when they heard this, and then asked in unison.
"Well, yes, the footprints of this sea monster are indeed those of the Planet Potts. The Planet Potts is an alien with a half-fish shape. His hometown of Planet Potts is a planet covered by water, so he came to
People will live in water after the Earth. The fact that you can’t catch fish may be directly related to the Potts people!”
Fengyuan nodded when he heard this, and then analyzed it seriously.
"Well, you are worthy of being a member of Team Mike. You can confirm the identity of the sea monster so quickly. However, the ocean is so big, you can't find the Potts people, right? So I think you still have to abide by the rules in our village.
Don’t fish or kill, after all, you won’t be living here in the future, please!”
When the village chief heard this, he nodded expressionlessly, then returned to the way he was when they first met. After a few words of advice, he left.
"Oh, wait!"
Upon seeing this, Fengyuan wanted to call the village chief, but the village chief left without looking back.
"Um, big brother, are you a member of Team Mike?"
On the way out of the temple, Fengyuan was blocked by a little boy.
"Well, yes!"
Although Fengyuan was a little confused when he heard this, he still smiled gently and replied.
"Then, big brother, if the sea monster really appears, will you help me defeat it?"
The boy asked expectantly.
"What? Did you find a sea monster?"
Fengyuan's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he asked quickly.
"Uh, no, no! I was just asking!"
The boy nodded when he heard this and said with a somewhat unnatural look on his face.
"Oh, okay, if the sea monster appears, I will defeat it!"
Seeing that the young man seemed unwilling to say more, Fengyuan stopped staying, nodded in agreement, and prepared to leave with Baizi.
"Hey! Why do you care so much about that? Did your father go fishing again?"
At this time, the village chief who had left came back again and asked with a serious face.
"No, no, there is no such thing!"
The boy panicked when he heard this and denied it.
"Humph, really? You didn't lie?"
The village chief snorted coldly when he saw this, obviously seeing Kazuo's guilty conscience.
"No, no, no!"
The boy bit his lip and shook his head, then turned around and ran away!
"Village chief, this?"
Fengyuan fell into thinking as he looked at the village chief who was leaving and returning and what the village chief had just said, and couldn't help but ask.
"Before, it was because his father secretly fished during the Bon Festival, so we couldn't catch any fish! It was always fine!"
The village chief said with resentment on his face.
"So that's the case, but why are you back again?"
Fengyuan nodded when he heard this, and then asked with a smile.
"After all, you are also guests. It is understandable that you don't know the rules. We still welcome guests from afar, so I thought about it and decided to come back and take you around our village and give you a good introduction.
"
Upon seeing this, the village chief's expression softened and he spoke softly.
"Sorry to trouble you, village chief!"
Fengyuan smiled and nodded when he heard this, glanced at the direction the boy was leaving, and then followed the village chief and left as if nothing had happened.
...
On the other side, Kenwu was leisurely carrying Carmilla on the beach, chatting and admiring the scenery. He was simply enjoying himself.
"It's great, the wind is beautiful, the sun is beautiful, the people are beautiful, hahaha!"
Jian Wu said to Carmilla very happily.
"Don't you notice something's wrong? There's obviously a beach here, and it's the Bon Festival, but no matter how you look at the beach, it looks a little sparsely populated!"
Carmila asked doubtfully after hearing this.
"Isn't that just right?"
Jianwu paused when he heard this, then turned his head and glanced at Carmilla, and said with a smile.
"No, you are acting as if you already knew that Senior Brother Leo was going to work overtime!"
When Carmilla heard this, she lightly patted Jianwu and said helplessly.
"What's the matter? This is all experience. In the past, when I was on vacation, monsters would come out to cause trouble. Even my daily work was to work overtime every day. Brother Leo's current situation seems to me to be good.
It’s over!”
Jianwu said confidently upon hearing this, but Carmila felt that Jianwu was a bit gloating about his misfortune.
"Tsk, as expected, the weather at the beach changes at any time, and it turned cloudy so quickly!"
Before Jianwu and Carmila could say a few words, the originally cloudless blue sky turned gloomy.
"Mua, how about we go back?"
Jianwu looked at the stormy appearance in the sky, turned his head, took a sip of Carmilla, and asked.
