Zhangjiang slowly runs along Yuzhang County towards Poyang Lake. With the spring breeze, the weeds by the river have long become lush and green, and the scattered trees have begun to sprout new buds.

The clear riverside reflects the blue sky, and occasionally you can see a group of fish swimming in the water.

If it weren't for that bare leg lying pale and pale beside the river, this scenery would still be beautiful.

"This is not a scar left by a weapon!"

As a former tribal leader, Ashina Yong was used to life and death.

It's not that I was frightened by the leg in front of me.

"It seems to have been bitten off by something alive."

Atatu couldn't care less about his sadness now, standing aside and looking at the scars on his leg.

"Muramasa, was Tajpu eaten by a tiger?"

Although Taohua Village is close to Yuzhang County, in this era, unlike in later generations, the only chance to see tigers was in the zoo.

In the past few months alone, people from Taohua Village have killed two tigers in the surrounding reeds.

So it is normal for some people to speculate like this.

"No, this wound was not caused by a tiger bite. Besides, if it were a tiger, how could there be no hair, bones, clothes, etc. nearby?"

Ashina Yong had a confused expression on his face.

Obviously, something appeared near Peach Blossom Village that he may not be aware of.

No matter what time it is, the unknown is the scariest thing.

Maybe, Taohua Village's prosperous situation will be hit because of this incident.

…

In Yuzhang County, Li Kuan received the news at noon that day.

"Are you sure you weren't killed?"

After Li Kuan heard what Tang Tongren reported to him, he was a little confused.

This bizarre case couldn't have been affected by you, right?

Although it is a good thing to solve more cases, I don't want to have any adverse effects due to the system.

"Probably not, but I may ask the magistrate of Yuzhang County later about what the situation is, and he may have a clearer idea."

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come.

As soon as Tang Tongren finished speaking, someone came to report. Zeng Xing, the magistrate of Yuzhang County, asked to see him.

"Why did Magistrate Zeng come to see me?"

Li Kuan was in no mood to chat with Zeng Xing there right now.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I just heard about what happened in Peach Blossom Village and came here to explain it."

Zeng Xing naturally knew that Li Kuan was very concerned about the situation in Taohua Village.

In a sense, Taohua Village is a microcosm of the inward migration of hundreds of thousands of Turks.

If the Turks in Taohua Village can develop as expected by the imperial court, then the possibility of problems for the Turks resettled in other places will become very small.

"Oh? Does it mean that Magistrate Zeng knows who the murderer is?"

"Indeed!"

"Um?"

Zeng Xing's answer was a bit beyond Li Kuan's expectations.

I just asked casually, but I didn't expect to get an affirmative answer.

"Your Highness King Chu, only the people in Taohua Village don't know about this matter. In fact, the villagers in nearby villages have basically guessed it after hearing about it."

"Oh? Is there still this situation?"

Zeng Xing's words made Li Kuan even more confused.

I thought that a case was coming. The relationship case was basically a case where everyone knew the details.

"If the official guessed correctly, the missing Turk must have been eaten by the turtles in Zhangjiang River."

"Moon?"

"Yes, we people in Yuzhang also call it Zhu Po Dragon. This Pig Po Dragon will hibernate underground in the winter, and will not crawl out of the hole until spring. It just woke up from hibernation.

The pig-shaped dragons are the most dangerous. They will first try their best to find food to fill their stomachs. In the past years, there were cases of pig-shaped dragons eating people in Yuzhang County."

Li Kuan reacted when he heard Zeng Xing talking about Zhu Po Long.

Alligators do bad things about relationships.

However, alligators of later generations only exist in very few areas in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. I have not heard that alligators are also found in Nanchang.

It seems that after more than a thousand years, many situations are not exactly the same.

Just like tigers today, they can be found in every state and county, but in later generations, traces of a wild South China tiger would make headlines.

"This pig dragon eats people. How did everyone respond to it in the past years?"

Li Kuan had only seen crocodiles in zoos in later generations. He was really not sure how to deal with such a tenacious prehistoric animal.

Although the crocodile looks silly and floats on the water like a log, in fact its nose is very sensitive and its eyesight is very good.

As for slowness...

According to later studies, crocodiles can actually move at a speed of 56 kilometers per hour over short distances on land.

What is this concept?

Bolt, the 100-meter sprint gold medalist at the 2008 Olympic Games who is most familiar to the Chinese people, has a fastest instantaneous speed of only 45 kilometers per hour.

So, don’t make the mistake of thinking that a crocodile that looks sleepy is a slow-moving guy.

Don't wait until the moment you are attacked by a crocodile to realize that he is not a slow animal.

It can be said that crocodiles are the "Cheng Yaojin" of the animal world. They look silly, but they are actually smarter than anyone else.

Otherwise, how could people live so long?

It suffocated the big boss dinosaur to death.

"I'm ashamed to say that there is really no good way to deal with this pig-shaped dragon. The only way is to stay away from the place where it hangs out. Especially when spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, these pig-shaped dragons come out of their caves to move around.

If you are careful, something hurtful may happen. In fact, the situation in Yuzhang County is relatively good. If it is near Poyang Lake and near the Yangtze River, pigs and dragons are rampant. This is why the farmers in that area are not very

Many reasons.”

As the magistrate of Yuzhang County, Zeng Xing is obviously quite familiar with Zhu Po Long.

Especially today, the first Turkic person died in Zhu Po Long's mouth, which attracted Li Kuan's attention. Naturally, he wanted to give a good introduction to Zhu Po Long's situation.

By the way, I would like to remind Li Kuan that in the future, he must be careful of the attacks of Zhu Polong on the banks of Zhangjiang River, in the reeds, and in the swamps.

"County Magistrate Zeng, since this pig dragon is so sinister and has affected people's farming, why didn't the county government organize manpower to hunt them down in the past?"

Wang Xuance asked puzzledly from the side.

"Manager Wang, you don't know something. Although we know that this pig dragon likes to live in lakes and swamps, it is still very troublesome to catch it."

Wang Xuance: "Oh? Could it be that this pig-woman dragon is extremely powerful? Or does it move quickly?"

"It's not mainly for this reason, but because the Pig Po Dragon is very good at digging holes. Its head, tail and sharp toes and claws are its burrowing tools. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but these Pig Po Dragons

There are more than three caves."

Zeng Xing was afraid that Li Kuan might mistakenly think that he had nothing to do in Yuzhang County, so he quickly explained.

"Zigpolong's caves usually have several entrances, some are in the reeds on the shore, and some may be at the bottom of the swamp. This thing is very smart. When the cave is at the bottom, it will often dig an entrance on the ground.

and vents, and they will also have side openings to accommodate various water levels.”

Listening to Zeng Xing's introduction, Wang Xuance was a little stunned.

This pig-shaped dragon is actually so difficult to deal with?

But Li Kuan felt normal.

This crocodile can live for hundreds of millions of years. Even the oldest dinosaurs at that time have turned into fossils. It is still alive and well. It naturally has its own way of survival.

Zeng Xing sighed helplessly, "In the past years, I personally took people to catch this Pig-Bo Dragon. I once dug three feet into the ground to dig out the cave of a Pig-Bo Dragon, and found that its hole was**

The winding paths lead to secluded areas, crisscrossing each other, just like an underground maze.

In addition, there are almost no animals on the ground that can cause harm to it, and after the Pig Woman Dragon is caught, there is no other use except to kill it. Therefore, although the people hate the Pig Woman Dragon very much, they want to hunt it down.

When they were released, everyone was not very active."

Li Kuan: "Who said that Pig Po Dragon is useless?"

Li Kuan could understand everything else Zeng Xing said, but he couldn't accept the fact that Zhu Polong was of no use.

Can everything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, and crawls on the ground be of any use in the eyes of the Chinese people?
