In previous years, there was a large-scale drought in the north, and the drought in several remote villages was particularly serious, and then the villagers caught an unknown creature in the field, and some old people in the village said that it was the legendary drought fish, and it was necessary to get rid of it quickly...
In one village, which suffered from a severe drought in a row, the water in the wells was drained, and the drought had not been alleviated, and seeing that the fields were about to be harvested, the villagers planned to pool money to invite opera classes and jugglers to do rituals and pray for early rainfall.
The legendary Dryad
Unexpectedly, this rain prayer ceremony was not smooth, and the invited theater class caught fire on the stage for no reason the next night, and the play ended early before it was finished. There was no stage, and the jugglers who came to juggle and monkey charmers also left.
The failure of the Dharma is like a dark cloud on the heads of the villagers, which has not dispersed for a long time, and some people talk privately that the drought is cursed by them, and some people say that they may have a drought here, of course, most of them believe in science and do not believe in anything.
However, the village really seemed to be cursed in response to someone's words, and a fire suddenly broke out in the wheat field outside the village, and by the time the villagers found that they had rushed to put out the fire, the wheat field had already burned a large area, and the whole village used a pump to carry water on a flat stretcher, and it took a whole day to completely extinguish the fire.
The fire was brought under control, and although the villagers suffered a lot of damage, fortunately there were no casualties, but some villagers reported that while they were busy watering and putting out the fire, they seemed to have seen a strange-looking creature less than a meter tall running through the burning wheat field.
However, when others asked in detail, the villager said that he did not see too clearly and did not know what it was. Curious villagers speculated, so some people associated it with the drought ray.
Fire in the wheat field
Legend has it that the drought is a very ferocious and terrifying monster, capable of attracting drought, and no one dares to provoke it, and it is recorded in the "Divine Scripture": "There are people in the south, two or three feet long, with their bodies and eyes on the top, walking like the wind, and their names are called rays." The country seen was in great drought, and the land was thousands of miles away. “
The rumors of the drought had a breeding ground, and soon spread throughout the village, all discussing in private whether the drought in the village was caused by the drought, and soon an incident occurred, making the rumor become true.
A villager named Li Ergou in the village got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and when he opened the door, he saw a black shadow moving by the well in the yard, and at first he thought it was a shadow falling from a tree.
But when he got closer and looked again, he felt that something was wrong, because the black shadow still had glowing eyes. After Li Ergou looked at those eyes, the black shadow suddenly jumped up, and a twitter sound came out of his mouth, and then he quickly flew onto the wall, his movements were very sharp, and then he jumped off the wall and disappeared.
Li Ergou was immediately frightened by this sudden scene and almost peed his pants, and also ran back to the house with a wow, quickly closed the door, and quickly hid in the bed, and did not dare to come out.
It was not until dawn the next day that the neighbor came to the door, and found that Li Ergou was hiding in the house and did not dare to come out, knocking on the door for a long time before Li Ergou reacted, it turned out that Li Ergou was frightened and started a high fever.
Villager Li Ergou's house
After taking the fever-reducing medicine, Li Ergou gradually recovered his senses, and the villagers who came to see him asked him what was wrong, and Li Ergou described to the big guy about the monster he encountered last night with a look of horror.
At first, everyone thought that Li Ergou was joking, but seeing that what Li Ergou said was serious, they had to believe it, and according to Li Ergou's description, it was very similar to the unknown creatures that the villagers encountered in the wheat field.
When the old man in the village heard about it, he said that this was the drought to fetch water at night, because the water in the field had been evaporated by the drought, and he was going to enter the village to steal the well water that the villagers ate.
After these two events, the villagers all believed in the drought and began to put everyone at risk, this mysterious creature now appeared in their lives, which was completely beyond their ability to deal with, and they could only pray not to let themselves bump into it.
Soon some people in the village said that boy urine and black dog blood can deal with drought, and the villagers did not care about distinguishing between true and false, so the little boy in the village became a baby, and groups of them looked for the little boy to pick up the boy's urine, and the little boy saw this battle, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't pee, and he cried with anger.
Those who did not have enough urine and those who did not have children at home all attacked their own black dogs, so the black dogs in the village also had bad luck and were killed and bloodied.
Black Dog
Under the heavy defenses, the villagers felt a lot more relieved, but at this time another wheat field outside the village was on fire, although this time it was discovered in time and did not cause a catastrophe.
However, the continuous fires also caused dissatisfaction and anger among the villagers, how can they live in the long run, and the rations for the whole year are counting on the two acres of land at home.
After checking the fields, several key suspects were screened, one of which was an old, Qing dynasty graveyard. Because the villagers found that this cemetery was strange, the other graves were very dry, only the soil on this grave was moist, but they heard the village elders say that under the drought, the grave must be strange.
It was even asserted that the grave was probably the hiding place of the marshre, and his account was agreed by several other villagers to discuss whether to dig up the grave for confirmation.
Qing Dynasty ancient tombs
But fortunately, just as they were about to dig, another team that went to look for the drought ray came with news that they had found the drought ray, so the villagers here hurried over. When the villagers arrived, they found that the place had been formed in a circle, and the villagers' screams and fears were heard in the circle.
These villagers quickly gathered around with weapons in hand, and when they entered the circle, there was really an unknown creature surrounded by the circle, and at this moment they grinned at everyone, trying to find a breakthrough to escape, but they were unsuccessful.
。
There were more and more villagers coming to see the excitement, the encirclement was like an iron barrel surrounded by water, and it was impossible for the terrible creature to escape, but the villagers did not dare to easily step forward and take the initiative to provoke, so a stalemate began.
Until a villager brought boy urine and splashed it at the monster in the circle, originally intending to destroy the monster, but found that it did not have any effect, but washed away the dirt and weeds on the monster.
Villagers watch
At this time, after careful observation, the careful villagers said in amazement, how can this drought ray look a little like a monkey. After he said this, more and more people followed.
The place where the villagers are located is a plain, there are no monkeys at all, where did this monkey come from, then someone remembered that a few months ago, the village invited a circus to come, and there were not monkeys who came with them at that time, could it be that they ran away at that time?
Although the villagers were a little ignorant, they were not stupid, so someone called the monkey charmer and asked him if the monkey had been lost, but when the other party connected, there was a voice on the other end of the phone.
The monkey charmer's behavior aroused the suspicion of the villagers, so someone called the police. When the police heard that the villagers had caught the same marsh as monkeys, they quickly brought in agricultural and forestry experts. After verification by experts, experts firmly said that this drought ray is a monkey.
Monkey
Later, after the intervention of the police to find the monkey charmer, he quickly admitted that the so-called drought fish was its lost monkey, and he also confessed that when he was singing, his monkey secretly untied the rope and slipped out, the monkey loved to smoke, and I didn't know where he picked up a cigarette butt and got into the stage, thus causing the stage to catch fire.
The monkey charmer was afraid of taking responsibility, so he did not dare to tell outsiders that his monkey did it, so he did not dare to find the lost monkey, so he quickly packed up his things and left, as for the monkey burns, it is likely that they were burned in the wheat field.
However, more than a little later, with the arrival of autumn, an autumn rain fell in time, and those rumors that still believed in the drought were dispelled. (Constantly being updated...) ）
