After getting off the car, I saw a turbulent river in front of me. The muddy and yellow water was rushing and hitting the banks on both sides.
"Our next work is here." Tong Wu looked at the majestic Yellow River with worry.
Just as Zhang Meng was about to ask why, the guy left.
After getting off the car, they went to a local village and found a farmer's house to stay at.
People nowadays have an unusual respect for soldiers.
The owner of this household took out all the edible things in the house to entertain Zhang Meng and others.
Each person had a bowl of porridge. Looking at this treat, the seven people all looked a little strange.
Seeing that none of the seven of them had touched their chopsticks, the farm owner explained awkwardly, "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to give you delicious food. It's just that everyone in our village is starving, and this little bit of rice is the last bit left in my rice jar."
Zhang Meng thought about when she entered the village and saw that everyone in the village was skinny and she even saw some people eating dirt.
"Uncle, I want to ask what's going on in your village? Logically, there haven't been any disasters this past year, so why are the fields in your village so empty?"
Seeing Zhang Meng asking about the most unpleasant thing in the village, the old man sighed and said, "Comrade, do you think we don't want to grow food? It's really because our place has been cursed by the Dragon King. We can't grow anything to eat."
"Cursed by the Dragon King? Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
Seeing that the six people around him didn't ask, Zhang Meng had to ask himself.
The old man sighed heavily again. "Comrade, I know the country doesn't allow belief in ghosts and gods these days, but our village is truly cursed by the Dragon King. Let me tell you, whenever we eat something, the river in front of us floods during the harvest month. It's like this every year. Don't you think this isn't the Dragon King's curse?"
Zhang Meng's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, and he quickly looked at the six people around him. He vaguely understood that this incident was probably the reason why they came here this time.
The seven people ate a meal of porridge that was light enough to make people feel refreshed. When they were about to rest, each of them took out a few food coupons from their pockets and stuffed them into the old man's hands.
"No, no, I can't accept it. You are comrades in the People's Liberation Army. It is our duty to greet you."
The old man refused to accept it even if he died.
At this time, Wu Da, who seemed to be the oldest among them, spoke up, "Uncle, if you don't accept us, we won't eat or stay at your place anymore."
When the old man heard his words, he looked embarrassed, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take it." After saying that, his pair of black and broken hands slowly took the food coupons and a little money.
After the old man left, the seven of them sat at the only table in the room.
"Old Wu, what do you think is going on? Is this village really cursed by the Dragon King?" Tong Wu couldn't help but ask Wu Da who was sitting opposite him.
"In my opinion, how could there be a Dragon King in this world? The Yellow River is flooding, so it must be raining heavily." He Liu curled his lips, his face full of disbelief.
Wu Da immediately glanced at him and said, "He Liu, have you forgotten what our organization is for? There are all kinds of strange things in this world. Who knows if there is a Dragon King in the Yellow River."
"We'll know the truth if we go to the Yellow River tomorrow to check it out." The speaker was Liu Er, another member of the organization.
Zhang Meng, who was sitting next to them, listened attentively but did not express any opinion.
In fact, she believed that the legend of the Dragon King might really exist in this world. After all, from her rebirth to now, things that happened around her were things she never believed before.
The next day, after having a better breakfast than the day before, the seven people immediately set off for the Yellow River not far from the village.
Just like when I came here yesterday, the Yellow River is still turbulent. When the river water hits the shore, it seems to be able to set off a huge wave.
"There's something strange about this river." Feng San looked at the river with a gloomy face. At this moment, everyone present could feel that there was something wrong with this river.
"You guys stay here and I'll go down and take a look." After saying that, Wu Da took out a water-fixing talisman from his body and stuck it on himself.
Then he jumped into the river with a plop. "Wow, Boss Wu actually took out all the water-fixing talismans in our organization. It seems that the higher-ups are taking this matter very seriously."
Tong Wu's eyes were shining. Zhang Meng looked at the turbulent Yellow River and felt a little uneasy, as if something in the river was calling her to go down. She felt uncomfortable all over.
"Hey, Zhang Meng, what's wrong with you? You're sweating all over. Is it very hot here?" Tong Wu was the first to notice something was wrong with Zhang Meng.
When the others heard it, they immediately walked over to her and looked at her with concern.
Zhang Meng smiled at them sheepishly, "I'm fine, I just feel a little dizzy looking at the river."
Feng San stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and taught her, "Don't look at the river water. There's something strange about it. If you look at it for too long, you'll get dizzy."
Zhang Meng knew that she was concerned about her, so she smiled back and followed them to stand under a tree not far from the Yellow River.
Time passed little by little, and it had been almost half an hour since Wu Da jumped into the river. During this half hour, they were sitting on the shore, staring at the surface of the Yellow River nervously.
"Why hasn't Boss Wu come up since he went down there for so long? I hope nothing has happened!" Tong Wu paced back and forth anxiously.
He Liu looked at his figure spinning around, feeling dizzy. "Alright, stop spinning, okay? You're making me dizzy."
Tong Wu stopped with a look of grievance on his face and said bitterly, "It's a pity that our organization only has that one water-fixing talisman. If we had it, we wouldn't have to stay on the shore now and would have gone down with Boss Wu long ago."
"Do you need a water-fixing talisman?" Just as Tong Wu finished his complaint, Zhang Meng's voice rang out.
When she asked this question, the five people next to her immediately looked at her.
Suddenly being stared at by five people with eyes that looked at hungry wolves looking at meat, Zhang Meng moved a little fearfully and asked in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong?"
Feng San strode over to her side and asked, "You just asked us if we wanted the water-fixing talisman, didn't you?"
Zhang Meng nodded. "Yes, that's what I just asked. Any questions?"
Before Feng San could reply, Tong Wu's excited voice came over, "Of course there is a problem, Zhang Meng, you just came out and don't know how powerful this water-fixing talisman is? Let me tell you, this water-fixing talisman can only be drawn by a first-level talisman master. The one in our organization was given to us as a reward from above. Do you think this water-fixing talisman is really that easy to make?"
Zhang Meng smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and took out about ten water-fixing talismans from the bag she was carrying. "Can you guys take a look at this?"
The five of them stared at the ten water-fixing talismans she suddenly took out with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
