Chapter 1963 The Legend of the Sea Dragon Girl

Soon it was lunch time, and my mother-in-law borrowed two dining tables from neighbors so that she could put all the dishes on them.

The lunch was incredibly sumptuous. Abalone, oysters, lobsters, scallops, sea cucumbers, conches, and all kinds of fish. It seemed that all precious seafood could be seen on the table. Even the two royal princesses were treated to it. I was shocked by the precious seafood on the table.

Some of them are the treasures of Weijiu's mother-in-law, and some were bought from people in the village. In order to entertain these granddaughter-in-laws, she did not hesitate to spend a lot of money.

Li Xuehao sat on the tatami and felt deeply in his heart. After this meal, would he not be able to survive in the future?

Of course, this is just a subconscious complaint. One meal and two meals will not really deplete Weijiu's mother-in-law.

"Mother-in-law, you have done too much. We can't eat so much." Even Mai, who was helping me, was shocked to see the melons. She didn't know there were so many when she first helped.

"Eat, eat more." Weijiu's mother-in-law smiled happily and watched everyone eating happily.

Sayuri Chiba, Mai Kuanao, Yuki Majima, Ryoko Mizuhashi, Kachiko Mizuhashi, Nene Mizuno, Yuma Aragaki, Princess Yoko, Princess Reiko, Miho Honma, there were so many beautiful girls that she was dazzled by them.

"Grandma, you can eat too." Mizuhashi Kachiko held the bowl and walked up to her, trying to look up at her.

"Xiang Zhizi should also eat more, so that she can grow up quickly." Mother-in-law Miku squatted down and wiped away the rice particles stuck to the corner of her mouth.

"Yeah." Mizuhashi Kachiko nodded heavily and buried her face in the bowl again.

"Mother-in-law Weijiu!" Everyone was eating when a voice suddenly came from outside. From the anxious tone, it seemed that they were here for something urgent.

"Is it Long Yi?" Hearing the voice, Weijiu's mother-in-law already knew who the visitor was, and Li Xuehao also heard it. It turned out that the visitor was the young man who had been eager to help him before, Kitano Ryuichi.

Sure enough, following the urgent sound, Kitano Ryuichi ran in in a hurry.

"What happened?" Seeing his sweaty face, Weijiu's mother-in-law asked.

"Those people are here again. The village chief asked you to come over." Although Kitano Ryuichi was surprised that there were so many people eating here, there were more important things to do at the moment.

"I know, I'll be there right away." Mother-in-law Weijiu frowned, but she knew she couldn't delay.

"Grandma?" Li Xuehao stood up. From the expression on her face, it was obvious that the matter was very difficult.

"It's just a small matter, you continue to eat." Mother-in-law Weijiu said pretending to be relaxed, and left in a hurry with Kitano Ryuichi.

"Kouji-kun." Chiba Sayuri, who was sitting on the table, looked over. Apparently, she also realized that things were not that simple.

"I'll go take a look." Li Xuehao put down his bowls and chopsticks and followed him out of the door. Of course, in order to avoid being discovered, he arranged a stealth formation for himself and followed behind Granny Miku and Kitano Ryuichi.

Following the two of them, they stopped at a house in the village. This was also a wooden house. The houses in the village were basically the same.

Before he got closer, he could hear the quarrel coming from the house. It was loud, as if someone was angry.

Granny Weijiu and Kitano Ryuu looked at each other, and they walked in faster.

Li Xuehao followed, walked through the courtyard, and entered the spacious hall.

"Weijiu is here, let's see if Weijiu has any opinions..." Weijiu's mother-in-law seemed to have a high status in the village. When everyone saw him coming in, the loud quarrels that were originally going on fell silent.

There were as many as twenty or thirty people in the hall, divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right.

The people on the left are all fishermen with dark skin who have been exposed to the sun all year round. It can be seen at a glance that they are all villagers.

And all of them are elderly, both male and female. The leader is the oldest, a short old man, maybe not even 1.5 meters tall, but the people in the village respect him.

The group on the right has about the same number of people as the group on the left, but in addition to the dark-skinned villagers, there are also several people wearing suits and ties.

There were a group of five or six people, headed by a middle-aged man in his fifties, with most of his head bald, a slightly stout figure, and a pipe in his mouth. He was surrounded in the middle like stars over the moon.

Beside him, there were two young people standing on one left and one on the right, a man and a woman. The young man seemed expressionless, but his eyes were unruly. He seemed to be very disdainful of the villagers in front of him, while the young woman pursed her lips. , frowning from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.

A little further to the side, there is a woman in her thirties, wearing formal professional attire and holding a briefcase in her hand, like the secretary of the bald man.

There was also a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase, but he didn't look like a follower. He had an extremely shrewd and capable temperament, and he didn't look like a henchman at all.

"Village Chief, I'm here." After Weijiu's mother-in-law came in, she walked straight to the left and said to the short old man.

"Sit." Although the short old man is thin and almost child-like, he has a strong aura, which is completely inversely proportional to his thin body.

Weijiu's mother-in-law sat down next to him and confronted the person on the right.

"Mr. Oda, I think I have made it very clear. The mountain behind the village is the habitat of the sea dragon girl. We will not allow you to destroy it wantonly." The short old man seemed to feel confident because he had an extra helper here. A little more, he said in a deep voice to the bald man, who was obviously Mr. Oda.

"Village Chief, I think you misunderstood. We are developing this mountain not to destroy it, but to develop it and let more people appreciate the wonderful scenery of Hailongnu Mountain. This is also good for your village. It's good. When tourists from other places come, they can stay and buy things here. You don't even have to go to the sea to do dangerous fishing work. Gradually the village will become rich." Although the bald man's voice was not loud, his tone was calm. He has the majesty of a superior person.

"Thank you for your kindness, but our village has been doing fishing and planting work since thousands of years ago, and we don't need to rely on outsiders at all, so please come back." The short old man refused without hesitation.

Seeing that he couldn't make sense, the bald man frowned and said nothing more, but secretly he winked at a dark-skinned middle-aged villager here.

The latter received his hint, stood up from the crowd, looked at the short old man and said: "Village Chief, this is not your village alone. You should ask all of us for our opinions before making a decision."

"Mizushima, if you have any opinions, please tell me. This village is not my village alone. The village belongs to everyone. I only strive for everyone's interests." The short old man's eyes were like lightning, and he stabbed straight over.

The middle-aged villager named Mizushima seemed a little afraid of his terrifying gaze, but thinking of the future benefits, he suppressed the power that the village chief had developed over the past decades: "Village Chief, I think what Mr. Oda said is very reasonable. Fishing It is a very dangerous tool, just like last month, the eldest son of the Kakihara family dived to the bottom of the sea and never surfaced again, and even his body has not been found."

"Mizushima, what are you talking about? My son is not dead. Maybe he is somewhere else." Upon hearing the example he gave, a villager behind the short old man couldn't help but curse.

Mizushima was not afraid of him: "Kakihara, stop deceiving yourself, you know that kid..."

"Shut up! Besides, I want you to know how powerful I am!" Old Man Kakihara clenched his fists, wanting to go over and fight him.

Mizushima also shut up at the right time. He didn't want to completely offend the old man. He glanced at the villagers opposite and continued: "I believe everyone knows that fishing in the sea is never a safe job..."

"That's not necessarily true. For Granny Weijiu, there is nothing safer than this." Someone deliberately sang the opposite and interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Mizushima glanced at the expressionless Granny Miku and encouraged herself: "Sister Miku is just an individual phenomenon. No one can be as flexible as a fish in the water like her. I'm talking about ordinary people. It's easy. In danger."

"So, am I not an ordinary person?" Weijiu's mother-in-law finally spoke, with a self-deprecating and ironic tone, which made the people behind her burst into gloating laughter.

Mizushima's face was flushed, and he seemed to be a little angry, but he finally restrained himself: "Sister Miku, I know you are an expert at fishing and the number one among ama, but not everyone is as good as you, boy from the Kitano family. If I hadn't been rescued by you back then, I would have drowned long ago. I think you don't want such an accident to happen to the children in the village again, right?"

"This is beyond my control. Everyone has their own destiny, and Hailongnu can't save everyone." Granny Weijiu said calmly.

Mizushima couldn't refute that. Hai Longnu was a god in everyone's hearts. As long as she mentioned it, no one would show any disrespect, at least on the surface, they would never dare to show it.

"Okay, let's not talk about the fishing work, but everyone has already seen Mr. Oda's blueprint. As long as the back mountain is developed, our place will attract a lot of tourists. By then, our seafood can be sold directly to tourists at high prices. It’s not about selling it cheaply to those unscrupulous merchants.” Mizushima said earnestly.

The villagers across the street were either disdainful or thoughtful.

"The back mountain is the Sea Dragon Girl Mountain. It is the habitat of the Sea Dragon Girl. If you destroy the back mountain and the Sea Dragon Girl loses her habitat, all of us will suffer retribution. Shuidao, you haven't heard of that legend." Weijiu The mother-in-law said with a cold face.

"The legend is just a legend. It has been thousands of years. Who has seen Sea Dragon Girl? I am not denying the existence of Sea Dragon Girl. I just want to say that maybe Sea Dragon Girl has changed her habitat long ago and she is no longer here." Shui. Dao said, fortunately he changed his mind in time.

"Shut up! You blasphemous guy!" the short old man cursed loudly and angrily. When his temper got worse, he ignored it. "In short, I will not agree to use the back mountain as a development site, never! "

"Village Chief, this is for everyone's welfare. You alone cannot represent the village." Mizushima also went all out and argued, "Let's vote. Anyone in the village who is over 18 years old can vote. If you agree, With a majority of the votes, village chief, you can’t stop this.”

"Very good, let's vote." The short old man was obviously very confident in his authority, and he was not worried at all about losing the vote.

"Okay, then it's settled." Mizushima said solemnly, but there was a hint of secret joy deep in his eyes, as if some kind of conspiracy had succeeded.

"The voting will be launched later. The time limit is 5 pm. Voting after this time will be invalid." The short old man also had his own plan. In order to avoid accidents, he had to anticipate any possible situation.

"Okay." Mizushima nodded. With Mr. Oda's financial support, I believe that the number of votes willing to vote for this stubborn old man will never exceed half.

"Okay, you can go out." Seeing that things had been temporarily agreed upon, the short old man ordered the people opposite him to be kicked out. Next, they were going to have their own meeting.

"Then we'll take our leave." Although there was a big fuss just now, this courtesy will not be lost.

The group of people left the house one after another. Li Xuehao glanced at Weijiu's mother-in-law and decided to give up following her and follow those outsiders instead. After all, they were the culprits who divided the whole village into two factions.

After leaving the house, some villagers left. Only Mizushima remained, following the group led by the bald man fawningly.

"Mizushima, good job." Seeing that he was far enough away from the village chief's house, the bald man praised him.

"These are what I should do, Mr. Oda." Mizushima looked very humble.

"Very well, as long as the thing is successful, you will receive the due reward. I can guarantee that it will be a huge astronomical sum." Mr. Oda said with a smile.

Mizushima rubbed his hands together and laughed so hard his mouth split: "I'm happy to serve you, Mr. Oda."

"By the way, what is that legend?" asked the young woman next to the bald man. Seeing that she could interject at will, it was obvious that she had a high status among the group of people.

"That legend is just a legend. No one has ever seen it. Miss Oda, don't worry." Mizushima said with a flattering smile.

"I want to know what the specific legend is?" Judging from the surname, Miss Oda seems to be the daughter of a bald man.

Mizushima couldn't refuse, so he began to tell: "It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a carp demon here who specialized in eating children. But one day, a beautiful woman came to the village and she was willing to be chosen as a sacrifice instead. The child went to feed the carp demon... The next day, the beautiful woman appeared, and the huge carp demon was beaten to death by her and dragged back. When everyone thanked her, she suddenly turned into a dragon with dragon horns and dragon horns. The sea dragon girl at the tail has also designated the back mountain as her habitat. No one can destroy it without her permission. Once destroyed, she will retaliate."

"Nonsense!" After hearing what he said, before Miss Oda could say anything, the young man in a suit and leather shoes with unruly eyes said disdainfully. There are countless such legends around the world. How could there be carp monsters and carp monsters in this world? Sea Dragon Girl? It's just made up by people, and then it is passed down from generation to generation, and I don't know how many people have been deceived.

"Brother, if a legend can be passed down, it is not necessarily false." Miss Oda disagreed with his statement.

"My dear sister, do you think there are monsters in this world? Don't read so many monster comics in the future, it will do you no good." The rebellious young man said with a sarcastic tone.

"That's enough." Seeing that the elder brother was about to teach his sister a lesson, the bald man scolded, "That's it for now. We pretend that we haven't heard of such terrible legends. Go back now. Come and listen at five o'clock in the afternoon. News is enough.”
