As a result, the road was blocked by ponds in many places, and the three of them had to bypass it in order to continue their journey. These ponds only appeared during floods, and they turned the western suburbs into a swamp.

Chitose said faintly in Yan Saburo's ear: "This is not good, if Longhu sends a big flood every few years, the Xicheng plan will not be implemented at all." ”

Now the western suburbs are just a piece of muddy land, if there is still such a big flood after the city is built, it will not be waterlogged at two ends in three days?

Yan Saburo didn't squeak.

When planning Xicheng, the problem of flooding of Longhu was already taken into account. But they never imagined that the flood would be so ferocious. It stands to reason that it shouldn't.

What is the reason for the sudden rise in river levels, apart from the long rainy season this year?

Yuan Yang didn't say a word on the way, but he acted quickly.

Suddenly, he heard a question from behind him, "Who is the old godmother?"

The sound was still in his ears, and the boy was startled, and his feet froze, and he looked back at it with a look of disbelief.

Yan Saburo was half a position behind him, and raised his eyebrows when he saw him turn around.

"Are you asking me?" Yuan Yang was not sure, and the voice of the question was ethereal, as if it was not like a male voice.

"Hmm. Of course, Yan Saburo didn't speak, but he knew who was doing the demon.

"I'm talking about my grandma. The boy lowered his head and pushed aside a bush of reeds, "She has bad legs and feet, and she can't walk far, and Daddy dislikes her and doesn't want to keep her at home." ”

He stressed again: "Grandma just can't go far, but she can still do a lot of work." ”

Yan Saburo nodded silently.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Half of the boy's book was missing after the flood.

Yan Saburo asked him again: "When did you remember the first time the monster attacked?"

"At the end of last month, I remember a few days after the fifteenth day, and the moon in the sky was missing. The boy thought for a moment.

"Ah Xun from the village went out fishing in the morning and never came back. Two days later, the villagers went looking for it, but they found only a broken shoe on the shore. Although no one has ever seen the murderer, I suspect that he was taken by a monster. Otherwise, he is very good at water, and he taught me to swim when I was a child. ”

At the end of last month, Yan Saburo slowly thought about this point in time. Chitose had already reminded: "It's about the same time as the second flood comes." ”

Was it a coincidence? Or did the monster just come on the flood?

Before the thought was finished, Yan Saburo smelled the moisture in the wind.

Sure enough, walking a hundred zhang further, Yuan Yang stepped into the water with a "croak" under his feet.

"Huh. He took a step back, "Even this place is flooded." "When he fled from Yuan's house, the water had not yet overflowed here.

Jin Yu pointed to the ground and said to Yan Sanlang: "Young master, look." ”

There were several footprints in the clearing, and there were traces of dragging.

The footprints are three toes forward, and they are definitely not human footprints. Jin Yu gestured with his hand and found that a single footprint was the size of his three palms.

"This guy is not small, his stride is very large, and one step is about a foot. He whispered, "And the tail." ”

"More than that. Chitose whispered two words in Yan Saburo's ear, and he copied it, "The footprints and stride length are so large, it stands to reason that this thing is very heavy, but the footprints are very shallow, only one finger deep." ”

Jin Yu looked at it, and sure enough, it was so. "So it runs fast. In line with Yuan Yang's description, "Let's be careful and see the direction it is heading, which is consistent with us." "It's also going back and forth to Yuan Jiadang.

The three of them continued on their way.

Yuan Yang really knows the place where he was born, and has found the right way forward many times when the old road has been truncated.

Soon, Tsubame Saburo walked out of the grove and saw the roof not far away.

"It's here. ”

Fortunately, Yuan Jiadang has not been flooded. The three of them walked into this small village and found that the exterior walls of more than a dozen houses were basically intact, but five roofs had been dug out of large holes, and thatch was everywhere.

Fallen door panels, scratches and bumps.

Yuan Yang swallowed his saliva and walked to the front of a house: "This is my home." ”

There is also a big hole in the roof of his house, which can be stuffed into at least two Yan Saburo: "Monsters attack from the roof?"

It looked so clever that it knew that the roof of a house was only a thin layer, and it was the easiest to break.

The lid of the bookcase behind Yan Saburo was pushed open, and the white cat jumped off the ground and walked outside.

After staying in the box for a long time, it went outside to find some clues.

"It was a dark and heavy rain that night, and we all slept, when suddenly there was a noise on the roof, and then the monster fell from the sky into the hall. Ah Niang came out to see, and just happened to have a face to face with the monster, but she was caught. Grandma grabbed the fire stick to save me and told me to run. ”

His ears seemed to be echoing with his grandmother's terrible screams.

The boy's description is brief. "I ran out only to find that the kind of monster was attacking everywhere in the village, and the reckless man who lived next door ran out and was dragged back by a monster. ”

The village does still have its old scarf, littered with paw prints, blood stains, knocked over objects, and traces of dragging and dragging. Jin Yu looked at it and asked, "Where is your father?"

"Ran. "The boy was expressionless," and when the monster came in and A-Niang screamed, he jumped out of the window and ran away. ”

Is that why he was unharmed? Jin Yu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Your father is really not a thing." ”

The trio found more footprints in the village. In one house, there were several deep tooth holes left in the window lattice. Yan Saburo took out the fangs and compared, which happened to coincide.

The white cat is also sniffing around. Yan Saburo was not worried about it: "Don't run around, be careful of being swallowed in one bite." "Monsters eat people so easily, isn't it easy to deal with this fat and juicy little ball of meat?

The cat gave him a roll of his eyes: "It smells rancid." "A cat's nose isn't as smart as a dog's, but it's much stronger than a human.

"Where?"

The white cat sniffed around, then led them to a cellar. "This is underneath. ”

The cellar door is small and hidden, hidden behind a dwarf thorn bush.

"This is your cellar?" Yan Saburo asked Yuan Yang.

"Yes, for pickles. ”

"The cellar door is well closed. Jin Yu also followed, "Shi Congyi also came to investigate, didn't you find it?"

"The cellar door is too small. Yan Saburo opened the door with one hand, "He didn't think the monster could get in." ”

"The monster cleared the ground in front of the door. The white cat walked back and forth in the open space in front of the cellar with its tail cocked, "erasing all traces of itself." ”

Jin Yu grabbed the cellar door and gently opened it out.

The remaining two raised their vigilance, and Yan Saburo even held the cat in his arms.

The cellar door opened, and it was quiet inside.

"Wow, it stinks!" the white cat turned its head and plunged into Yan Saburo's arms and didn't come out.

This time, even the three of them smelled a strong stench, something was rotten, and it was at the bottom of the cellar!
