Chapter 565: Yaksha Demon Song, Mystery in the Crab
Chen Sanlang was not happy.
After three days, I had already traveled all over the Pagoda Island, and even the rocks on the beach were rummaged through, but I found nothing and found no clues.
In fact, the treasure is not rushing to be discovered for a while, it is just a calculation of the time, so I can't afford to delay it. If I miss this, I have to find another opportunity.
Xu Nianniang looked as usual, without seeing any joy and anger. He had no concerns about the treasure. Coming here was to deal with business.
As for clams eating meat, they have a completely "knowingly" look. Over the past hundred years, there have been many monsters who have climbed the Pagoda Island, but no one has found anything like the Pagoda, and nothing is big or small.
Xu Nianniang said that the pagoda may not be a real thing, which is even more vague and unpredictable. To put it in the mystery, it may take an opportunity to obtain the treasure.
This opportunity has to be great, only a great opportunity can be achieved.
In this way, the entire treasure incident is like a prank, purely funny.
Chen Sanlang thought, a little annoyed and disappointed. Among the three, he was the most concerned about the treasure.
As dusk fell, the island was dim as it was dim, and within a short while, it was already gray. Standing on a reef and letting the lake breeze blow up, Chen Sanlang said silently.
There was a very diligent way to pick up two fat rabbits from the jungle. This island was facing water everywhere, and there were actually many hares living on the island, which seemed strange. I don’t know who took the rabbit to the island before and bred it.
These rabbits taste delicious. In the past two or three days, clams have become addicted to eating the food made by Xu Nianniang. They don’t think about anything every day, but just say that the meal is coming.
Now, it was not yet dark, so the guy quickly beat two rabbits, slaughtered them quickly with the lake water, cleaned them up, and sent them to Xu Nianniang's side.
Xu Nianniang glanced at him and said coldly: "Put it aside first and do it later."
Clams have long been used to eating meat. Knowing that this old man not only cares about the temperature but also the mood of cooking, he obediently agreed. When he walked across the beach, he saw huge guys crawling around. They were hairy crabs, which were the specialty of Dongting. Each one was the size of a fist and was full of teeth and claws.
Although these guys are fierce, they are delicious. The day before yesterday, Xu Nianniang made a fried hairy crab, and she almost swallowed her tongue after eating clams and meat.
Today is the season of crab paste plump. Fortunately, when I landed on that day, the black-sailed boat was not parked well, so Chen Sanlang asked the clams to eat meat and bring all the bags, luggage and other items, and did not sink with the ship.
Among them are changing clothes, dry food, oil, salt and seasonings, pots and pans, etc.
Without a boat, there is no need to sleep in the open air. The clams eat meat and have a good hand and feet. They cut wood for the house and made two rooms for Chen Sanlang and Xu Nianniang to live in. As for him, they were not used to it. They just lie in the grass and could sleep in the dark.
The food is easier to handle. I moved two stones to build it and it became a stove.
Seeing the hairy crabs climbing ashore, the clams licked their lips with meat. However, Xu Nianniang seemed to be in a bad mood tonight. She was impatient to be a rabbit. How could she make hairy crabs?
The clam had to hold back when eating meat, kicked several hairy crabs away with one kick, and went away in disappointment.
The lake at night is blowing with the wind, and there are clear waves rippling, beat by beat, with clear rhythm, as if breathing - this lake seems to be alive and able to breathe!
Chen Sanlang stared into the distance, thinking about things.
The black-sailed boat was photographed, but he was not worried about leaving. There were many trees on the island, so it was easy to cut the wood into a boat. As for the treasure, after searching these days, he gradually became weakened. As the rumors said, it may really be important to be responsible for a fate and cannot be forced.
Then this trip will be the only thing left for Xiaolongnu.
Or, you can set off early to Longcheng to make preparations.
At this moment, a graceful singing suddenly came from the distance of the lake, with an indescribable rhyme in the syllables, which made people suddenly lose their minds when they heard it.
After listening to the tone of eating meat of clams, Chen Sanlang knew that the other party was singing the ancient demon song, but the tone was different. After changing to the female voice, the voice was lingering and had a different kind of sorrow, like a gentle woman who missed her husband, standing by the vast lake, looking out, and expressing her heart with her singing.
"snort!"
Xu Nianniang hummed, reached out and grabbed a stone, and smashed it into the reefs with great force, making a "bang" sound.
He heard that the song was mixed with magic, which was meant to bewitch people's hearts. He was afraid that Chen Sanlang would suffer losses, so he smashed the stone and made a sound to wake him up.
However, Xu Nianniang underestimated the concentration of her son-in-law. With the blessing of "Haoran Silk Book", she was in charge of the Niwan Palace. This monster song was far from enough to shake Chen Sanlang's mind.
However, the clams there were so sensible listening to the meat that they could not help but take steps and head towards the lake. Fortunately, they had just taken a few steps and were shocked by the sound of stones hitting them. They stopped quickly and were scared to sweat. They quickly blocked their ears with their hands and stopped listening to the songs.
Xu Nianniang said coldly: "It is said that the sea yaksha is not only aggressive, but also good at singing, and is specialized in confusing others' minds. When I heard it today, it turns out to be like this."
Chen Sanlang asked: "But this is a female voice..."
"Hehe, the words of 'Yasha', do you think it came out of thin air?"
Chen Sanlang listened and laughed silently, thinking that it was indeed the case.
The sound of singing on the lake is constantly floating with the wind, and its sound is faint, coming from all directions, without knowing the direction.
Xu Nianniang seemed to be nothing, and smiled calmly, "It is said that the mother Yasha is ugly and unbearable to the eyes. Unexpectedly, the song she sang is pleasant. Well, this song can be filled with wine, and it will be a big deal tonight."
As he said that, he took out the wine gourd around his waist.
When the clams were eaten and their eyes were immediately shining. They had been greedy for Xu Nianniang's medicinal wine for a long time. They had no choice but to drink it that day, but never drank it again.
Xu Nianniang didn't carry much wine, so she naturally saved her drinks. She stared at the clams and ate meat: "Go and grab some good crabs and drink wine, you must have the sip."
In order to prevent being confused by the demon song, clams had already covered their ears. Xu Nianniang said it twice before she realized it. She quickly picked a handful of grass leaves, kneaded them into a ball, and then went to catch the crabs. At the same time, she secretly admired her heart: This Yaksha Demon Song is definitely not easy, even if she is a monster, she would be caught, but Chen Sanlang and Xu Nianniang were leisurely and had nothing to do, which shows her awesomeness.
Somehow, every evening, when the lake rises and falls, many hairy crabs climb to the shore. This situation is only possible when entering the depths of Dongting, and cannot be seen in the outer areas. These are all delicacies and good things. When people live in places where people live, they are afraid that they will die in the light and will not be enough to catch them. And on the Pagoda Island, they can be seen everywhere and are rampant.
Not long after, a bonfire was set up. After a while, there were stars and moons in the sky. It was nearly fifteen years, and the moonlight was bright and bright.
Xu Nianniang was skillful in her skills. In less than half an hour, she prepared two dishes and started eating and drinking.
Clams are greedy for meat. After these days of contact, they also figured out the temperament of Chen and Xu. They seemed cold, but in fact they were not difficult to get along with each other and were not care about the details. So they didn't hesitate to catch a roasted hairy crab first, and they were not afraid of being hot, so they broke open the hard shell and opened it to eat.
As I ate, I glanced out of the corner of my eyes and seemed to see something strange, and I let out a light "huh".
Xu Nianniang joked: "You foodie, can you still get hot?"
The clams reached out to scratch their heads, held up the hard shell, and suddenly said, "Mr. Xu, look, there is a pattern in this shell. It looks like a person sitting, but it looks like a tower."
