Chapter 416 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (24)
Yu Zhan looked down at the empty teacup and remained silent.He also has no idea.

The lizard god is probably irresistible to humans.

After a long time, he suddenly said, "Perhaps that famous detective can help."

Lao Song almost doubted his ears. "Is that the boy just now?"

Yu Zhan nodded, with another wry smile on his face.

Thinking of him as an experienced old detective, he would think of turning to the so-called high school student detective for help.It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?
But he and Lao Song didn't know.The real detective is not Mikaka.

On the other side, Qi Mu and Mi Kaka were wandering aimlessly in the street, thinking about where to look for clues next.well!Residents nearby kept secrets; the police station refused to enter; even Wang Chen, who lived next door, kept his mouth shut. It was really difficult to get a few words from him.

Where can they look for clues?
Under the hesitation, the two gave up on themselves a little, and simply sat down and rested in the shade in front of a grocery store.At this time, a group of local children were playing around.

One of the little boys, who seemed to be the king of the group of children, was about seven or eight years old. He faced the other playmates in a majestic manner, holding a straight branch and holding it high, imitating the scene of the gods descending to earth. Swear loudly in an extremely sacred posture: "Listen all of you, I am the Lizard God! You all have to submit to me, or I will kill you!"

Lizard God?
Capturing the sensitive words, Qi Mu and Mi Kaka looked at each other tacitly.

Unexpectedly, this group of children actually cosplay the game of Lizard God.Maybe, clues can be found from these ignorant and fearless children.

I saw that these little kids were frightened by the little boy pretending to be a lizard god holding up a stick, and they all knelt on the ground devoutly to worship.This move made Mikaka and Qimu dumbfounded.

Keep reading, maybe there are more clues.

At this time, the owner of the grocery store was not as they wanted, and ran out of the house.He put his hands on his hips, pointed at this group of troublesome little kids, and scolded: "You guys, if you offend the Lizard God, you will be punished by God!"

The sudden appearance of the grocery store owner scared the children away in all directions.At the same time, it also interrupted the plans of Mikaka and Saiki.Seeing that they finally had some clues, how could they give up so easily?The so-called catch the thief first, catch the king, directly catch the little boy playing the lizard god, this matter becomes much easier.

"Hey, little brat, please wait a moment." It was too late to say it, but at that moment, Mi Kaka hurried to catch up and blocked the child's way.

"Who's the brat?!" The little boy looked unhappy, crossed his arms around his chest, and proudly turned his head to one side so as not to look at Mi Kaka.

"Oh! I'm sorry. This little friend." Mi Kaka quickly put on a sincere face, expressing her apology.

"Why?" The little boy always felt that this person had malicious intentions, and looked him up and down.

Mikaka said, "I want to ask about the lizard god."

Without even thinking about it, the little boy refused cruelly: "I won't tell you." Then, he turned his head to the other side, not looking at him.

This little kid is pretty cool.

But dealing with this kind of child is simply a piece of cake for Mi Kaka.He told the little boy to wait there, turned around and quickly went back to the grocery store to pick up a box of ice cream.

Attractive ice cream kept dangling in front of the little boy's eyes.Mikaka is like a human trafficker who kidnaps and sells children, smiling treacherously: "Little friend, I'll give you ice cream. Can you tell my brother?"

The little boy's eyes staring at the ice cream gleamed, he swallowed saliva, and almost snatched it.

To deal with naive children, sugar-coated cannonballs are tried and tested.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Mikaka asked, "Little friend, tell me about the Lizard God, okay?"

In front of the snacks, the little boy's psychological defense was completely broken.He nodded quickly like pounding garlic, grabbed the ice cream, unpacked it, and took a bite in his mouth.That expression is one of satisfaction.

He got what he wanted, now it's time to answer the question.

Mikaka asked without losing the opportunity: "Tell brother, what is the legend of the lizard god?"

While eating the ice cream, the little boy raised his head, with an innocent expression on his face, and asked in puzzlement, "What is a legend? Can it be eaten?"

"..."

Dare this brat not even know the meaning of the legend? !
How to explain this problem?Mi Kaka was scratching his head and thinking hard, but Qi Mu, who had been watching coldly, simply and rudely slapped Mi Kaka away with a Tathagata Palm.Mikaka was hit hard, and suddenly staggered forward, almost falling to the ground.He clutched the back of the head that Qi Mu had slapped, and asked angrily, "Why did you hit me?"

Qi Mu raised his hands and said coldly: "Get lost! Let me ask!"

This man is too violent and beats people at every turn.But when he thought of his embroidery needle trick, which was not inferior to Dongfang Bubai, Mi Kaka had no choice but to shut up obediently, and silently stood aside as a passerby.Sure enough, Qi Mu didn't like long-winded words, and went straight to the point without wasting time at all: "Little friend, who told you about the Lizard God?"

Although the person changed, the little boy still told the truth: "It's my grandma. Everyone in the town calls her grandma."

Qi Mu asked, "Where is your grandma?"

The little boy stretched out his little hand and pointed in one direction: "Over there."

"Take us to find it?"

The little boy nodded in agreement, and then swaggered ahead like a boss to lead the way.While walking, he turned back curiously and asked, "Brother, what are you doing in Shawan Ancient Town?"

The kid's question was not up to the mark, Qi Mu had no intention of opening his mouth at all, and put on a paralyzed expression.The task was given to Mi Kaka again. He could only be patient and explained with a smile: "My little friend, because my brother heard that the hot spring here is very good, so I came here to play."

Hearing this, the little boy became excited, with a proud expression on his face: "Yes! Our hot spring here is very good. It's just now..."

Halfway through the conversation, it stopped abruptly.The little boy had a look of distress on his face.He behaved exactly like Sister Hua, the hotel owner, hesitating to speak.It seems that there seems to be some troubles that are bothering the people in this town.Under Mikaka's questioning, the little boy faltered and hesitated to speak out, when suddenly——

He stopped and looked ahead.

A pool of water appeared not far ahead.

For some reason, many local residents gathered.People gathered around the pool, talking about it, and the discussion was quite turbulent.The little boy called grandma, and in a blink of an eye he slipped into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.

"This little brat runs really fast." Mi Kaka searched everywhere, but couldn't find anyone.

There are too many residents gathered, there are several floors inside and outside.

What are these people talking about?After Qi Mu and Mi Kaka listened carefully, they understood somewhat.

It turns out that Shawan Ancient Town is a well-known hot spring town, and tourism has always been the mainstay of the local economy, and most residents make a living from it.However, not long ago, the Ran family sold a piece of land under their name to a company at a high price, planning to build a waste incineration plant locally.

Residents of the town expressed strong opposition to the plan.Because not long after the construction team moved in, strange things that never happened in a thousand years began to occur in the town—those hot springs that had existed for thousands of years stopped flowing one after another.One after another, the hot springs dried up strangely, and even the geological experts from the province could not find out the reason.And this pool is the largest and oldest hot spring mouth in the area.Unexpectedly, it no longer gushes spring water today.

"This is the retribution of the Lizard God!"

Gradually, terrible rumors spread everywhere, and the residents who lived here for generations believed that the plan to build a waste incineration plant must have angered the lizard god.It is the master of this land, and it will never allow others to do anything wrong in its territory and defile this clean soil.As a result, it took back the gifts it gave to mankind one after another.

Sooner or later, the hot springs in this land will disappear.

"We can't stay silent any longer!"

Among the crowd, a young man jumped onto the pool, raised his arms and shouted.Wearing a white headband with protest slogans written on his forehead, he looks like an environmentalist.He loudly encouraged the surrounding residents: "If this continues, the hot springs in our town will end sooner or later. Let's go! Let's go to the construction site!"

Under the call of the leader, the residents responded one after another, and marched towards the construction site in groups.Along the way, residents continued to pick up their hoes, sickles, poles and the like to join the parade.Qi Mu and Mika Kaben had nothing to do with this matter, but they followed closely behind the team in order to observe the development of the matter at any time.

When the team gradually left the town, after a while, they came to a muddy road full of tire marks.

The construction site has arrived.

This is a vast field with a beautiful environment, but because of the brutal work of the construction team, it has become a bit desolate.The land is full of potholes, and young wild chrysanthemums are buried in the upturned yellow mud.It is a pity that such a poetic and picturesque land has suffered such bad luck.

While the workers on the construction site were rushing to work, they saw the menacing parade.They had to stop what they were doing and looked wary.Some workers also picked up shovels, pick handles, and iron pipes, and stood ready.

"Damn it! You're making trouble again! Do you think we're easy to bully?" A fat man in a hard hat led others forward with an iron pipe.From the looks of it, he should be a contractor or something.

"Get out of our land!" The young man who took the lead just now was not afraid.

The two sides quickly formed a confrontation, and no one was convinced.

"Bastards! This is our company's territory. It's not up to you to decide!" the contractor yelled angrily.
