Chapter 4162: The sound is like a baby crying

"Where's the weird part?"

"It's black and about the size of a fingernail."

While speaking, Jiang Wenhui gestured with her fingers and extended her thumb.

“That’s about the same size.”

After a pause, Jiang Wenhui continued:

"There are bugs of other colors, but they are rare and can bite people. I heard from the doctor in the village that those bugs can spread viruses, which can cause insect plagues. I was still young at that time, and my grandfather told me that many people died. I heard that experts from the capital came and developed a serum, and the insect plague was eliminated."

"But you said it was strange. What was strange about it?"

"Sound." Jiang Wenhui thought about the situation at that time:

"That kind of insect will chirp, just like a cicada, but the sound of the insect is like a baby crying. Maybe the sound of a single insect is not so obvious, but if they appear in groups, the sound is very similar. Every time I hear such a sound, I can't sleep, and..."

After a pause, Jiang Wenhui continued, "That kind of bug looks scary, and its mouth is like a pair of pincers. I'm still scared when I think about it now."

It has a pliers-like mouthpart...

Lin Yi had not seen many such creatures on land, but on Tilia Island, there were many such insects.

Hundreds of them can eat a corpse clean in just ten minutes, even a living person.

But we cannot say that the existence of such things on land is abnormal. It is reasonable to have such things in dense mountains and rainforests.

So it cannot be used as a basis.

"Besides this, is there anything else?"

"As for other aspects..."

Jiang Wenhui thought about it, "There shouldn't be anything wrong with the other aspects, but the crying sound is weird, like a baby."

"Didn't you say that your grandfather had seen a dragon? Has anyone else in your village told you a similar story?"

“Yes, but I think they are all stories I heard from my grandfather.”

Lin Yi thought about it and felt that this aspect could be explored in depth.

"Have you ever verified this aspect of the problem? Did your grandfather hear it from somewhere else, or did he see it himself?"

"I didn't ask about that. It was just a rumor anyway. We just listened to it as a story at the time. I guess they also spread it by word of mouth, heard it from other people, and then told it to other children in the village."

Jiang Wenhui looked at Lin Yi with a serious expression.

"Your question just now was a bit strange."

Lin Yi smiled and asked, "What's so strange about that?"

"Why are you asking? Did other people hear the story from my grandfather, or did they see it themselves? How could anyone have seen something like that? It doesn't exist."

"Maybe I expressed it wrongly. I'm just curious about this matter. Why are so many people talking about this matter?"

"These rumors were passed down from my grandfather's generation," Jiang Wenhui said.

"I guess it was probably someone from my great-grandfather's generation who told them this story. And as you know, people of that generation didn't read much, so they believed it when they heard it, and then told us to show off their knowledge."

Jiang Wenhui gathered her hair and said:

"I think they may have seen some shadows, or some animal bones, which may have been shaped a bit like a dragon, and then believed it to be true."

??????????.??????

After saying that, Jiang Wenhui thought for a moment and said, "I remember there was a kind of lizard that was very large. I think I learned about it in the textbook."

"You mean the Komodo dragon?"

"Yes, yes, that's it. I suddenly remembered that kind of thing is quite similar to a dragon."

Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are confused. The ones similar to them are dinosaurs, not dragons in the traditional sense of our country."

"Yes, but if it's dead and rotten and only bones are left, won't the shape be similar?"

"It's too close, it's unlikely."

"It's possible, actually. People of that generation were not well educated, so it's hard for them to make rational judgments about these things. So I think it's very likely that they saw the remains of some creature, and then spread rumors that they saw a dragon."

"If you say so, it's possible."

"I suggest you just stay curious about this place, and don't try it lightly, as it is really dangerous."

Jiang Wenhui looked at Lin Yi and said with a smile:

"If you want to travel, you can go around our village. There are many undeveloped natural landscapes there. I still think those places are beautiful and not dangerous."

"When I want to go, I will definitely call you."

"Then say it." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Well, when the time comes..."

Dangdangdang——

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lin Yi got up and went to open the door. He found that the person standing outside was Xu Ying, who was also wearing pajamas.

This is the difference between young girls and young women.

Xu Ying was wearing pajamas and pajama pants. The cuffs and trouser legs had a little bit of white lace with a bear pattern printed on it.

On the other hand, Jiang Wenhui was wearing a suspender nightgown.

The two have completely opposite personalities, one is bold and the other is conservative, but their choices in this regard are indeed a bit contrasting, which is quite interesting to watch.

"Brother Lin..."

Xu Ying was about to speak when she saw Jiang Wenhui sitting on the sofa, and her expression suddenly became ambiguous.

"Brother Jiang, you guys chat first. I won't disturb you. I'll leave first."

"I have something to ask her. Don't think of those weird things in your head." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"This is all normal, I understand. You guys can chat. I don't have anything to do. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Jiang Wenhui stood up embarrassedly and pulled Xu Ying into the house.

"Come in quickly. If you leave, something will happen to us."

"This is all normal. Sister Hui, you are full of charm and are definitely the first choice for mature men. Hehe, if I were a man, I would have thoughts about you."

"Go, go, go, say whatever you want."

Jiang Wenhui felt a little embarrassed by the teasing and changed the subject, "Why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong?"

"The faucet is leaking a little bit, it's dripping, I tried to fix it for a long time but couldn't fix it, it's disturbing my sleep, so I wanted to ask Brother Jiang to come and see what's wrong, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at all."

"Let's go early. I'll go and take a look." Lin Yi said.

"No hurry, no hurry."

Xu Ying quickly retreated, "I'll find a way to block the faucet, you guys continue, just pretend I was never here."
