During this period, the board and lodging were all taken care of by the motorcade. The money had been prepaid in advance. At the coachman’s reminder, Uchiha Lihuo and his father and daughter got out of the carriage and stood on the camping open space.

At this time, the heavy rain had stopped, but the sky was still shrouded in dark clouds, and no light was visible.

A campfire has begun to rise in the open space. The wood used for the campfire is dry wood prepared in advance, which will not produce thick smoke. A crock filled with fresh water is hanging above it, and a pot of hot soup is being prepared.

The food delivered by the convoy was two fist-sized seaweed rice balls. The rice balls were still warm, without the feeling of distinct grains. They should be soft and delicious.

"Guests, I will send you a bowl of fish soup later to warm up your body." After delivering the food, the coachman went to help. If you don’t get ready for camping as soon as possible, the guests will have to complain.

On this road to and from the train station, there is more than one caravan, and word of mouth is very important.

Grumblingly, the vegetable broth in the crock was boiled, and the team members who were in charge of preparing the food even filled up the soup and sent it to everyone in the team.

Both Uchiha Lihuo and the father and daughter also received a bowl of boiling hot soup. Just holding it in their hands, they felt a warmth spreading in their hands.

The fish soup in the bowl is stewed and boiled with cabbage and fish. The neon is surrounded by the sea. Fish is the easiest meat to obtain. Cabbage is also a common dish, but it is very sweet when added together.

After drinking the fish soup, the warmth spread in the body, making the cold rainy night warmer.

The middle-aged man next to him was also awkwardly feeding his daughter, waiting for his daughter to eat before he drank the remaining fish soup.

"Dad, I want to listen to the story of the kappa." The little girl who had eaten and drank was tired, crying, and wanted to listen to the story of her father before going to bed.

The middle-aged man looked at his daughter helplessly, touched the back of his head and apologized to Uchiha's Lihuo, and began to tell the story of the kappa.

"A long, long time ago, a patriarch named Jiuqianfang led the kappa clan from a long distance to Kyushu, and settled in a place called Kumagawa Unzen Hot Spring.

The Kappa clan looks like a human, but has the body like a monkey, a tortoise-like carapace, a frog-like flipper, and a dish of water on its head.

At first, they had nothing to do with the local people by name, but as the population of the Kappa clan grew day by day, the patriarch Jiuqianfang became malicious and began to looting the surrounding villages.

As for the surrounding villagers, they dare not say anything, so they have to swallow their anger.

Later, news of the increasingly raging Kappa clan came to the daimyo of Kumamoto Castle. Of course, the daimyo was very angry and ordered the dispatch of samurai to defeat Jiuchenbo. However, although Jiuchenbo is not tall, he is invulnerable to the sword and has tremendous strength. Lots of warriors.

Daming was very annoyed, but very helpless, so he found a lot of people to find a way, and finally learned the news of the apes feared by the Kappa clan, and scared the kappas to run out of the water. Later, the daimyo designed Jiuqianfang to bow to him. , Let the water on the dish pour out.

Without the water in the plate, Jiuqianfang would not have the ability to survive on the ground, so he had to admit his failure obediently and made a promise not to harm mankind.

But as thousands of years passed, there was a kappa clan who forgot the promise of their ancestors and began to stay by the river, waiting for pedestrians passing by to fall into the river, and then killed him, killing many people.

A samurai named Zuowei appeared in the area. The samurai walked to the river and saw the golden ring of the kappa incarnation, so he slashed towards the golden ring and cut off the kappa’s hand so that the kappa promised not to kill humans again. Save the surrounding villagers.

In addition, Qiandaozi, I heard that if children who did not keep their promises fell into the water, they would be treated as food by kappa."139 Chinese www.139zw.com

"Dad, it's terrible." When I heard this, the little girl named Qiandaozi shrank into her father's arms in fright, while the middle-aged man laughed and comforted: "Don't be afraid of Qiandaozi, Dad believes Qiandao. Zi is a good boy who keeps his promise and will not be eaten by Kappa."

Hearing this, Qiandaozi became even more frightened. Holding his father's hand, Qiandaozi said with a slight cry: "But my father told Qiandaozi not to be entertaining. Qiandaozi promised, but still sneaked out to play."

"It's okay, it's okay," the middle-aged man patted his girlfriend on the shoulder, "Daddy protects you."

"Besides, Kappa is just a story, and Dad has never seen a real Kappa."

The crying little girl was a little tired, and fell asleep quietly under the comfort of her father.

It was late at night, and most of the people in the convoy were sleeping. Only a few guards from the convoy were sitting under the trees, watching the night around the bonfire. The river at night is not safe. In case of flooding, the night watch The guards can also wake up everyone in time without losing their lives.

As for the beasts that appeared by the river, the guards didn't worry too much. Neon was an island country where there was no room for large beasts to live. It existed in time and was hunted down by those who love hunting.

The sharp teeth and claws of wild beasts are no match for the sharpness of bullets.

"Goro, Goro, how long do you think it will take to get to the middle of the night!" The caravan guard who watched the night put down his long knife, rubbed his palms, leaned against the tree and stretched his waist, facing the sleeping man on the other side of the tree. The partner said.

The vigil is very hard, not only physically, but also mentally. Looking at the surrounding woods swallowed by darkness, there are no stars above my head, which is really boring.

This is also the reason for arranging two people to watch the night, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night.

Even so, he almost fell asleep just now.

"Goro, you can fall asleep really fast." Seeing that there was no companion, the caravan guard smiled to himself.

With a smile, the guard's smile suddenly became stiff, because he found that the surrounding area was too quiet, and there was no sound, except the squeaking of the flames and the ticking of rain.

It was too quiet to hear the snoring of his companions. Goro was a fat man. Every night after falling asleep tired, he would snorted like thunder.

I once complained, but it was of no use, because there was no way to control snoring, and over time I got used to Goro’s bad habits.

Now that he couldn't hear Goro's snoring, he was a little scared.

"Goro, Goro." The guard muttered the name of his companion, and tiptoed with the torch to walk behind the big tree, where the companion slept.

"Goro is gone." The guard was a little panicked, because Goro hid behind a tree to sleep because he knew he hated snoring.

Now he was nowhere to be seen, and I don't know where he went.

"Perhaps I ran there to pee." The guard comforted himself in this way, but did not stop, holding a torch, looking for his companion.

Finally, he saw the dark shadow moving slowly by the river. The guard turned the torch forward, trying to get a glimpse of the dark shadow, but found that the dark shadow showed scarlet eyes and was leaping towards him.

"Ah!" the guard threw down the torch and yelled.

The huge scream was as harsh as thunder in the silent rainy night.
