Pei Min secretly praised him for his courage to take responsibility. This deputy general named Wan Wen is good. He also asked Feng Changqing to bring some troops to support him so as not to have an accident.

No one knows what kind of creature the monster is.

Even if it is unexpected to the night, it is not easy to hurt Gongsun You.

At this time, an old woman came over from afar. She was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, with all kinds of unknown green grass inside.

"Who is she?" Pei Min asked Xiang Shishou softly.

The soldier immediately responded: "It's the doctor in the village, and Miss Gongsun asked her to treat it."

Pei Min quickly walked up, helped to carry the bamboo basket, and asked, "Old man, how is Miss You?"

His voice trembled unconsciously.

The old woman paused and said, "It's hard to say. The girl let the dragon tail sweep. She suffered serious external injuries. Both arms were severely displaced, and there were many scratches on her back. The old body had already attached the muscles and bones to the girl, bandaged them with herbs and fixed them with wooden boards. These were trauma of muscles and bones, and they would not be unconscious. The most difficult thing was the girl's head. The girl should have been hit when she flew out. The old body had limited medical skills and could only use medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Whether she could wake up or not depends on whether Allah would protect her."

She spoke with a little fear, but when she recited "Allah Allah", she felt a little relieved.

Pei Min knew that the evil dragon was quite intimidating, but faith made her weaken her fear.

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you!"

Pei Min still maintained a look of He Xun, and no one could understand the anger in his heart.

But all the anger was pressed into his heart.

As the head of the family, he shall bear it alone and shall not vent it to any outsider until everything is vented to the culprit.

After patting her stiff cheeks, Pei Min said something to Pei's mother, soothes her old man's emotions, nodded to Jiao Chen, and handed everything to her.

After dealing with all this, Pei Min asked Wang Xiaobai to see the woman who was rescued in danger last night and invited her to the village official office, and then quickly walked towards the village official office.

The official office of Yuquan Village is very large, no less than the government offices of towns, but the official office is extremely dilapidated.

In addition to a slender road leading to the main entrance of the government office, there are some bluestone hall roads, which are quite flat and are surrounded by dilapidated areas.

When I came out of the house and looked inside, I found that the lobby was simple and even the mat for the guests was a little damaged, but it was very neat and clean.

There is a stove in the middle of the lobby, and the old village chief is sitting on the mat and napping.

After getting sleepy and a stove was on the side, the old village chief was already asleep.

Pei Min took off her shoes, coughed, and walked into the room.

The old village chief rubbed his eyes, hurriedly put away his legs, knelt down seriously, and said, "I am not forgiving you at this age, please forgive me!"

Pei Min said: "It's okay, don't be so reserved, just be casual. We chat casually without handling official duties."

He said as he sat cross-legged beside the stove.

Seeing this, the old village chief also put away his kneeling legs and sighed: "Everyone said that the Duke is a great man, and he really cares about us. To be honest, at this age, I can't stand these two legs. Please ask, the Duke, I know everything. At this age, I know a lot of things."

Pei Min nodded slightly and said, "Do you know when the news of the evil dragon came out of Guicun?"

The old village chief thought for a while and said, "This is too early, it's not my life anymore. My grandfather once said that the fact that there is a dragon in Heihe has been circulating for at least 150 or 60 years. However, at that time, it seemed that it didn't take it seriously and there was no taboo. Yuquan Village at that time was completely different from the desolation now. At that time, our place was called Ganquan Town, which was also very famous in this Hexi land."

Pei Min nodded to show that he understood that Hexi is vast and sparsely populated. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, no one may be able to see him.

However, in Hexi, wherever there is water, there will be traces of people.

People here live in groups around the water source.

This is true for Guzang, Zhangye, Jiuquan or Dunhuang.

In the northwest of deserts, water is the source of life.

Ganquan Village is so close to Hei Shui, it is impossible not to be prosperous.

It can also be seen from the overall skeleton of Ganquan Village that Ganquan Village was once glorious, but later declined.

The old village chief continued: "It was just that later the evil dragons were in trouble, and the rainstorms continued, and the rivers destroyed the fields and houses. At first, the court would take charge and allocate some money to provide relief. However, there was no news from the court after every flood. In the end, many people could not bear it and began to move away one by one. A good Yuquan Town became the current Yuquan Village. If this continues, Yuquan Village is afraid that it will not be preserved."

Pei Min pondered for a while and asked, "Ask a presumptuous question, has the old village chief seen a dragon?"

The old village chief shook his head slowly and said, "I have never seen it with my own eyes, but that evil beast really exists, old man, old man..." When he said this, his tone became rapid, and he was unwilling to hammer the floor for a while and said, "My son, I just let it swallow it alive..."

"Sorry!" Pei Min fell down with apologetic expression.

The old village chief sighed: "My son is Yuxun, his name is Xiaoqian. I gave him the name. His people are like this name. He is very filial, like a person, and he is also very smart. He is the most proud student of Gan Xu, a great scholar in Hexi. Gan Xu had high hopes for him and hoped that he would go to Beijing to exchange for fame and fortune. He also said that with his talent, he would definitely be able to go to high school. But the stupid child refused because his parents were there and he didn't travel far away. He was such a stupid boy. If he could listen to Gan Xu, maybe, maybe..."

The old village chief seemed to be conversing with Pei Min again, and seemed to be talking to himself, and he fell into a state of deep pain in memory.

Pei Min didn't interrupt and interrupt, but listened patiently.

"Xiaoqian is stupid and stupid. He... thinks that the reason for the flooding of black water is not the evil dragon, but the lack of friendly management and no flood control facilities. As long as the flood control facilities are built, the flood disaster can be avoided. He mobilized the people in the village to go to the river to build the embankment. Then, then..."

He shook his head, shed tears, and couldn't continue to speak, but just said to himself: "Sometimes, I often think that the evil beast wants to eat, so eat me. Why do you want to eat my innocent son, which will destroy my family."

Pei Min pondered for a moment and said, "Old village chief, I think your son is right. He is a very outstanding and thoughtful person. If he hadn't encountered misfortune, I would like to know him or even use him. It is amazing to be able to stick to his original heart and not be moved by superstition in places where rumors spread."

"Really!" The old village chief stared at Pei Min with wide eyes.

Pei Min nodded cautiously and said, "Really, it's not clear whether that monster or evil beast is a dragon. But one thing is certain, even if it is really a dragon, it does not have the ability to turn the clouds and rains. There are many reasons for the occurrence of floods, but the dragon is definitely not one of them."

A later generation behind him, Pei Min's words were loud and loud.

How rain is formed, is it a creature or something messy.

Pei Min didn't pay attention to it in daily life and had already returned it to the teacher. He just vaguely remembered the evaporation of water vapor, which condensed in the sky, turned into clouds, and formed rain. Then the rain in the world fell on the ground, forming a cycle...

Although there are still many things in the world that cannot be explained by science, there is no falsehood that what has been explained by science.

The formation of clouds and rain is a law in nature and is definitely not influenced by dragons.

The flooding of black water is closely related to the environment, not a bad dragon.

As for Yu Xun's murder, it can only be said to be a coincidence.

It is because of this coincidence that things that were originally superstitious became real and made people even more afraid.

The old village chief suddenly laughed with joy: "Then my son is right, he shouldn't bear the infamy, he is right..."

It turned out that Yu Xun was killed, but then he was like a punishment from heaven.

Heavy rain poured down and floods came again.

People in the whole village blamed Yuxun for angering the evil dragon, saying that he deserved it.

Not only did he die, but he also caused the whole village to suffer.

This directly led to the old village chief's wife being unable to bear the tragic death of her beloved son. The double blow of verbal violence made her unable to afford to be ill.

This incident also became a knot in the old village chief's heart, and he also felt that it was his son's ignorance that harmed the villagers.

Now Pei Min said the words to justify his son, and his heart knot was immediately untied.

Pei Min continued to ask, "Then those who have seen monsters are still in the village?"

The old village chief shook his head and said, "It has moved away a long time ago. They are worried about being retaliated by evil animals, so they moved elsewhere early in the morning. It has been more than 30 years, so there is no news."

Pei Min asked again: "Where are there people in the village who know the monsters?"

The old village chief smiled wryly and said, "The Duke of the State does not know the situation in our village. He has almost gone. Now there are only more than 30 families, and there are only a hundred people in total. Either the old or the Gu family are unwilling to leave. In order to avoid attacks from evil animals, the village will offer some tributes every once in a while, and Dunhuang also sympathizes with us and will send some tributes from time to time. For a long time, the evil animal has never attacked the village and thought it was the reason for the tribute. But for some reason, the evil animal actually came to the village."

Pei Min's heart moved and asked, "Is this the first time a monster attacked the village?"

The old village chief nodded and said, "Yes, in my memory, the records of evil animals were always near Heishui. Or it was the first time we came to the neighboring village."

Pei Min hurriedly asked, "Where is Hei Shui Village? Is there anyone else?"

The old village chief said: "There is no one anymore. It was two years ago. Officials from Dunhuang forced them to move elsewhere. Because we had not been attacked, we just let those who were willing to go, and those who were unwilling to force them. Unexpectedly, it was our turn..."

Pei Min pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there a record of the time when monsters appear? That is, the record of his attack on people or animals."

"Some!" the old village chief nodded and said, "There are many, I will go find it for the Duke."

After thinking about it, Pei Min added another sentence: "Unless it is a case of artificial theft, those missing people and livestock will be found together."

Pei Min was about to go with her to help, but she saw Wang Xiaobai, who came over with a woman outside the hall.

Pei Min went up to meet him and asked Wang Xiaobai to help the old village chief.

Looking at the woman who was still a little scared, Pei Min first introduced herself: "Madam, I'm here to Pei Min. Last night, the two women were my wife who had not passed the door, and the other was my future wife and sister. I want to ask, what happened last night? Do you remember the monster's appearance?"

Gongsun Xi described a monster, but at that time he was nearly ten steps away from the monster, and he could only see a long and thick black shadow in the dark night.

But it looks like a dragon...

When the woman heard that she was the family of the savior, she was so moved that she knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Pei Min asked the question again.

The woman said with a little horror: "Caomin remembers it very clearly. It was around the hour of Hai. Caomin and Caomin's man were about to sleep. He heard Ah Huang's call and thought a thief came. Caomin's man took a fork and went there. After a moment, he heard his scream. Caomin thought something had happened, so he ran out, saw it, saw it..."

She said here, looking terrified and said in a trembling voice: "It's a dragon, it's really a dragon! The grass people's mind was blank, they only remembered that it was a monster several meters long, black, with scales on their bodies, scarlet eyes the size of a lantern, and horns on their heads. Every year, we couples have to pay tribute to the Dragon God, why does the Dragon God still have to look for us..."

Pei Min thought of Gongsun Xi's description that the monster was black. They couldn't see it clearly at night, but their eyes were green, not red. After a pause, he asked again: "Where is your husband?"

The woman wiped her tears and said, "He, he was so scared that he lost his soul, and the soul was eaten by the dragon."

Pei Min looked at the already dark sky and called some soldiers to gather the people in the village, and at the same time gathered cattle, sheep and other animals to facilitate protection, so that the woman could bring her scared husband over.

I patted my somewhat stiff face again, combined the information in my mind and analyzed everything.

About a quarter of an hour, Feng Changqing and Wan Wen led the soldiers back.

Pei Min went up and asked, "Have you found anything?"

Wan Wen and the others saluted Pei Min first, and then said: "We followed the traces on the ground and reached the Ganquan River. There were no traces in the water, and we didn't know where the evil dragon was going."

Feng Changqing pointed to the three people who came together and said, "The three of them are soldiers who followed Miss Gongsun. But their steps were not as good as Miss Gongsun. When they arrived, Miss Gongsun had already swept the tail and the evil dragon disappeared. In addition to the green eyes, there was also a disgusting smell of fishy smell. He only saw the thick and long black shadows as thick as a bucket. I don't remember how long it was. However, the victim was the only person who had seen monsters and was sober. She said it was really a dragon!"
