The dilapidated bus caused a gust of dust to blow as it drove on the cracked concrete road . There was only one sign at the bus stop at the entrance of the town . The bus shed was not set up, and the people waiting for the bus were sweating .
The bus stopped by the stop, and a young man and woman came down from the bus . The man was tall and handsome, and his eyes were bright . The woman was more stunning .
She was an eighteen or nine-year-old girl who was fair and beautiful . She was young but her small body was particularly curvaceous .
Her ample chest was the object of envy of girls her age and she had a slender waist . Young girls normally had slim waists but the curves accentuated by sweat pants were something girls of her age should have .
At an age where girls were supposed to be a pure, she had an enchanting figure . She was so gorgeous that some men froze when they saw her .
The bus driver honked his horn and shouted, “Are you getting on the bus? If you are not, I"m closing the door . ”
Several young men then reacted from their trance and got into the bus reluctantly . The car drove out a distance, and Li Xianyu, with his sharp eyes saw that there were still pairs of eyes looking back on the bus .
A lot of men will probably brag to their friends, “s.h.i.+t, I met a celestial fairy at the bus stop at the town entrance . She"s so beautiful . ”
As the bus drove away, Li Xianyu looked away and looked around the town . Since it was a small town, it was definitely more developed compared to rural infrastructure . However, the main road in the town was full of dust and disrepair .
There were no greenery on both sides of the road, and the houses on both sides were beautiful buildings mixed with white or yellow .
It reminded Li Xianyu of Shanghai twenty years ago, which is probably what it looks like .
“It feels like there are mountains all over the place except in Shanghai . ” Li Xianyu looked at the mountains in the distance .

During this period, he had been to Yucheng, Changsha, Northeast China and Luzhou . The cities resembled each other, and the biggest difference was the gap in construction, but almost all of these places have mountains in the countryside .
Shanghai was a place without mountains . The only Sheshan was also in the suburbs, and the first peak of the Shanghai could be seen everywhere in Hunan and Zhejiang Province .
For him, who has lived in Shanghai for 20 years, his experience during this period has greatly opened up his horizons .
He felt like a rich young master touring around . Compared with them, while maidservants followed the young masters, eighteen year old Great-Grandma was the one following him .
The former would be responsible for taking care of him, while the latter will only put on airs of an ancestor and ask him for money .
A few days ago, a strange occurrence happened in the town . There was a large river outside the town, belonging to the Qiantang River system in the eight major water systems of Zhejiang Province, as well as fis.h.i.+ng boats and cargo s.h.i.+ps .
The town is in a state of semi-industrial and semi-farming . More than a decade ago, it was expected to get rid of farming completely .
The town was expected to attract investment and they originally built an industrial park outside the town, but later found that doing so would bring very serious sewage pollution and destroy the river outside the town .
Thus, a few years ago, the government called for the conversion of farmland to forests, to protect the environment . Even the river had seen improvements and did not flush down the muddy currents .
However, about half a month ago, there were always strange occurrences on the river . Almost all boats would encounter accidents in the river .
The small fis.h.i.+ng boats would be overturned for no reason, and the larger freighters would leak . After salvage, it was found that something had gnawed a hole at the bottom of the boat .
Although it was a small freighter, the hull was forged of steel . What can gnaw out a big hole?

Employees of the Hangzhou branch had come to investigate, but they had no clue . What was under the water that only destroyed pa.s.sing s.h.i.+ps, but did not hurt people"s lives? It was also very sneaky . As long as the company"s employees were still investigating the town, it will never show up .
All kinds of strange events were happening every minute and every second in the world . The Hangzhou branch was too lazy to take care of such events that were troublesome but not fatal .
“I hope we didn"t come in vain this time,” Li Xianyu said .
A big mouse sprang out by the side of the road, just a few meters from the two of them . Great-Grandma ran over and kicked the mouse, sending it flying . The mouse squeaked and flew out in a perfect arc, and happened to fall into the supermarket not far away .
“Who threw the mouse in, who is so heartless?” The owner of the supermarket drove the mouse out with a broom, his hands placed on his waist at the door, as he scolded .
Great-Grandma stuck out her little tongue, and Li Xianyu pulled her away as soon as possible .
This was the third mouse they have seen in five minutes . The mice in the country seemed to be so rampant that they were not afraid of people, and of course, people were not afraid of mice . This was not the case in the big city .
Li Xianyu remembered that one year, he was was.h.i.+ng vegetables in the kitchen for his mother when a big mouse popped up in the cupboard .
The mother and son screamed in horror, as the mouse ran around in fright . The kitchen was in chaos .
His beautiful sister who had just entered high school was in the living room and heard the commotion . She pushed the door open and stepped on the big mouse swiftly, killing it .
It made sense for Li Xianyu to be adjusted and dominated by Ice Shards for so many years . Ice Shards was superior to her brother in terms of intelligence quotient and courage .
They asked an auntie who was buying vegetables where to rent a boat . Li Xianyu acted cute with a beautiful face like an auntie killer . The auntie gladly agreed and led them to a fisherman in town .

When they arrived at the door, the man was not there . The old auntie in the room said that the man had not come back from the field .
Thus, Li Xianyu and Great-Grandma walked through the town in the direction she pointed out . They came to the plot of crops by the river, and found the old farmer surnamed Zhang .
Uncle Zhang, dressed in loose brown trousers and a yellowish s.h.i.+rt, stood on the ridge of the field, opening a ca.n.a.l to draw water for the rice field .
“h.e.l.lo, you are Uncle Zhang, right?” Li Xianyu walked on the soft ridge gently . Within a few steps, the surface of his shoe was covered with wet mud .
Uncle Zhang looked at him blankly .
“We are students from the Department of Biology of Zhejiang University . We came here to do field research and collect some aquatic plants and animal samples . I hear you have a boat . Can you rent it to us for a few days?” Li Xianyu asked .
Each company"s employees investigated cases in a different way . Li Xianyu himself found out a set of effective methods: waiting for an opportunity to present itself .
No matter what was in the water, it liked to cause trouble to pa.s.sing s.h.i.+ps . Thus, they would lure the snake out of the hole and let it come over on its own initiative .
“College students?” Uncle Zhang repeatedly confirmed, “You want to borrow a boat to go into the water?”
Li Xianyu nodded .
Uncle Zhang waved his hand at once . “No, no, no . ”
“Oh, maybe we didn"t make it clear that we wanted to rent it . How about 150 dollars for a day?” Li Xianyu took out money as he spoke .
“I can"t rent it either . There"s something in the water . You can go to another river for that collection . ” Uncle Zhang shook his head .
“Is there something in the water?” Li Xianyu and Great-Grandma looked at each other and Li Xianyu asked, “Have you seen it?”
Based on the data given by the Hangzhou branch, it was inferred that there was an anomaly in the water that destroys the s.h.i.+ps . However, there were no witnesses, unlike Old Man Xu in Luzhou, who saw his grandson swallowed up by the monster with his own eyes .
Uncle Zhang was silent and did not seem to want to say more .
“You are lying . If you don"t want to rent it, just say it . Why are you lying?” Great-Grandma looked at Uncle Zhang with disdain .
“I"m not lying . I saw it with my own eyes . ” Uncle Zhang was quite agitated .
The correct way of using the goading method was through a beautiful woman .
“On the night before yesterday, I rowed out to retrieve my fis.h.i.+ng nets . About nine o"clock, I cast several big nets in the river, which would have been filled with seafood usually . But I didn"t know why on that day, I didn"t even catch one fish . I picked the net up and found that it was bitten by something . ”
There"s an inexplicable familiarity, am I jinxed with water this year? Li Xianyu snarked internally .
“I have been fis.h.i.+ng for so many years, and it"s normal for a net or two to be damaged once in a while . However, it"s the first time that they had been bitten all at once . Just as I was about to row home, a strange thing happened . ” Uncle Zhang had a strange expression .
