57 Chapter 7 Section 3

So, a group of people, led by Sun Shengkui, followed the traces to the grassy hillock behind the village. The grassy hillock was very large, filled with bushes, weeds and many trees.

There are also many hares, hedgehogs and other small animals in the rocks, and snakes often appear, but no large beasts have ever appeared.

Everyone was searching around the trace and moving forward. After a while, they came to the edge of a pool. This pool is called Baima Pool, and it is about five or six meters deep.

The "chasm" led all the way into the White Horse Pond. Upon seeing this, Sun Shengkui said: "It seems that the thing is probably at the bottom of the pond!"

Sun Ji wondered: "Dad, during the severe drought, the water in this pool bottomed out, but there was nothing in it!"

Sun Shengkui said: "Perhaps that thing is an alien thing. It has just arrived in our territory. Otherwise, why hasn't this kind of thing happened before?" After saying that, he turned to look at Tanzi again, and then said: "Let's go,

Everyone, go back, that thing is in the water, it’s not a problem for us to waste it here, let’s go back and think of a way, it’s dangerous to stay by the river!”

Everyone nodded. After returning to the village, the Sun family was crowded with people. Everyone was waiting for Sun Shengkui to come up with an idea. If there really was a wild beast that could drag a buffalo out of Baima Pond, it would be terrible. Even the buffalo could eat it.

People are not like eating melon seeds!

Li Zhu said: "Master Sun, a buffalo weighing more than 800 kilograms was dragged away so silently. I really can't think of any beast that can have such abilities! But I heard that there is a beast called Big

Elephant, I wonder if it eats buffalo? If not, it’s a tiger?”

The others also agreed: "It's probably an elephant. Tigers probably aren't that strong."

Sun Shengkui shook his head and said: "Why do we have elephants here? Besides, elephants eat grass!"

Liu Ping, who had been standing silently, suddenly remembered what happened to Ma Laizi yesterday. She still remembered that after Ma Laizi was pulled up from the bottom of the well, he kept muttering something about "Well Dragon King!" He was in the well at that time.

Could what you see below be related to the beast that dragged away the buffalo?

At that moment, she expressed her thoughts. Many people had witnessed what happened to Ma Laizi yesterday. After listening to what Liu Ping said, she really thought it was possible. If it was really a "dragon", then he would be dragged away.

A buffalo should be a piece of cake.

Rural people at that time were very superstitious, because the level of science and technology at that time was very low, and there were many unexplainable natural phenomena that were called gods in their minds. Therefore, even knowledgeable intellectuals like Sun Shengkui believed

There must be "dragons" in the world.

Sun Shengkui nodded and said: "This is not impossible. We are very close to the sea. The water in the big stone well (the well where Ma Laizi went down) has become salty since it was dug. It probably leads to an underground river, and

That underground river must lead to the sea. If Ma Laizi really saw the Well Dragon King at the bottom of the well, then I think it was probably a dragon swimming from the sea!

When everyone heard Sun Shengkui's analysis, they felt that it was reasonable, but Liu Ping always felt that this was not the case. If the dragon really dragged the buffalo away, how come Ma Laizi was not eaten at the bottom of the well?

Furthermore, it is said that the big stone well leads to an underground river and should not be connected to the White Horse Pond. If what Ma Laizi saw is the same thing as the thing in the White Horse Pond, then it would not make sense.

Thinking of this, Liu Ping asked Sun Jida: "When you were digging that big stone well, did you see anything strange underneath?"

Sun Ji shook his head and said: "I remember that the well was indeed very deep. Later, it seemed that the underground river was dug, and we came up. No one went to look at the bottom of the water at that time. I wonder if there is any Well Dragon King in the underground river."

Liu Ping nodded, then turned to Li Zhu and said, "Brother Li, I'd like to ask you a favor, can you go to Xiaoliu Village and find the man named Zhou who had a quarrel with Ma Laizi yesterday? I have something to ask him.

"

Li Zhu nodded and said, "No problem." After saying that, he ran out.

Everyone wonders why Liu Ping is looking for the man named Zhou. Could it be that his family's jade fell into the water and turned into a dragon king?

After a short while, Li Zhu came with the man named Zhou. Liu Ping stepped forward and asked: "Brother Zhou, I have something to ask you. I hope you can tell me the truth!"

The man surnamed Zhou knew that the Sun family could not afford to offend him, so he nodded and said, "Young lady Sun, just ask!"

Liu Ping nodded, and then asked: "Yesterday you had an argument with Ma Laizi, and later you said that a jade pendant fell into the well? Are you serious at this time?"

When the man surnamed Zhou heard this, he looked slightly panicked, but quickly calmed down and said, "Yes, this is indeed the case!"

Liu Ping said: "Then can you lend me that jade pendant to look at?"

The man surnamed Zhou took out the jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Liu Ping and said, "Here!"

Everyone saw this and felt curious, so they gathered around one after another. Even Sun Shengkui got closer to look at the jade pendant. They saw that the jade was completely dark green, and there seemed to be a faint dark light flowing in it. At a glance, they knew it was a good thing.

It's just that the jade pendant was carved with the shape of an unnamed monster. Everyone didn't recognize it and felt curious, so they asked the man named Zhou: "What is the carving of this jade pendant handed down from your ancestors?
