After Lin Chou dispatched the last few guests, he began to prepare staff meals.
The current standard staffing of the small restaurant is Lin Chou, Chi Zhi, Su Yourong, and several small green and small autumn furballs, three yellows, four dogs, homeland tree pitcher plants, and Nepenthes.
Of course, there are basically only four mouths at the dinner table, and Gungun's one is of the excavator level.
Therefore, the preparation of this staff meal requires Lin Chou's basic skills - of course it is impossible to feed Gungun, and Master Gungun never feels too little, let alone too much.
As soon as I picked up the kitchen knife from the chopping board, Gungun carried the big-breasted lady and flew over from the back mountain in a hurry.
Chi shouted in a little panic,
"Boss, boss, I'm sorry, someone stole our water!!"
Lin Chou's mind didn't turn around for a moment.
"What?"
The busty sister said,
"Go to the back mountain and take a look. The creek is almost dry and the fish are out of the water..."
"Fuck!"
Lin Chou jumped out of the kitchen with a single stride, cracked the ground with one kick, and jumped twenty to thirty meters high, hitting the mountain stream.
Looking over from a high altitude, I saw that the water area of Houshan Zeguo, which had been plowed by Xiao Qing with very little skill, had been reduced by two-thirds, revealing large areas of dry tidal flats and river beds, where Lin Chou's crispy carp and other fish were all crowded. In the remaining area, it seems that it has begun to lack oxygen.
As for the white-shelled snails that Lin Chou found growing in the reed fields a few days ago, many of them dried directly on the reed poles and turned into mummies.
Lin Chou was so angry that he almost burst his blood vessels.
"Who the hell did this! It's so wicked!"
Shan Ye carried two large tabletop axes and smashed a second hole next to Lin Chou with a bang.
"Speaking of your ancestors, this is not just immoral, it's simply... lack of heart!"
Master Shan looked at the stream that was almost no longer flowing with distress.
"It's over... Will all the Osmanthus cicadas die..."
Osmanthus cicada is currently the most popular snack among hunters. It is more than three times more popular than peanut beans. If the production was not good, Lin Chou would have limited supply.
Lin Chou shook his head,
"The sweet-scented osmanthus cicada is definitely fine. They are not considered aquatic insects. They just hunt in the water. However, if the stream is out of flow for a long time, it will definitely not work. They will starve to death or lose weight."
Master Shan is anxious,
"Hurry up then. Mom sells batches. I want to see who is short-sighted and dares to cut off the water source of our small restaurant. I will dismantle his bones and turn them into a water tanker to generate electricity!"
"..."
Lin Chou looked puzzled. How could there be someone more excited than him?
Then, Gungun and the big-breasted sister also came, and even Su Yourong followed them carrying a pan in a decent manner.
Master Shan chuckled and said,
"Girl, your master has a damage bonus when using a frying pan. If you use it, it doesn't necessarily mean level three defense."
Su Yourong looked determined,
"I...I...I'll play the rhythm and cheer you up!"
Bravo!
Gungun roared twice, and the whole army attacked.
Everyone went upstream and soon walked out of the mountain stream of Yanhui Mountain.
Master Shan scratched his head,
"There are more and more mountains here. Could it be caused by strange beasts..."
Lin Chou said,
"What kind of alien beast has such a high IQ? What do they do to intercept the water flow... It is more likely that a landslide or other accidental blockage of the river channel will occur."
Everyone walked while talking, covering a distance of forty or fifty miles.
Lin Chou sniffed and asked,
"Did you smell..."
Huang Dashan said,
"It smells fishy, and it smells like dead fish."
Chi only raised his head and looked into the distance,
"Is this...the reason why the stream has stopped flowing?"
The stream flows from several extremely steep and long mountain valleys. When it falls into the plain, it forms a small waterfall with a width of about 20 meters and a height of more than ten meters. The original waterfall still retains traces of the water's perennial erosion. But now, there is only a small stream of water that is as small as a bead curtain.
Above the waterfall, there is a "dam" made of rocks and tree trunks that blocks the stream, forcing the stream to change its course. The stream that originally flows to Yanhui Mountain turns back to the depths of Zushan Mountain, and it is unknown where it is going.
After everyone got closer, they found that this dam had obvious "artificial" traces. The interweaving structure of stones and tree trunks was very reasonable. It looked majestic like a huge mace lying on the water. Those "inserted" in the The tree trunks that serve as bones on the dam are the tips of the mace.
The dam is more than seven or eight meters above the water. Each tree trunk is at least as thick as two adults hugging each other. The entire dam is extremely strong. Shan Ye jumped on it and stomped his feet, but only a few gravels rolled down. The dam The whole thing didn't even tremble.
Master Shan said,
"Damn it, such a strong dam, who did it? Eh?"
Shanye squatted down and pointed at the part of the dam close to the water surface.
"Look at these paw prints... they are of the same animal. Have you seen it? This thing seems to have six paws."
As he spoke, he pressed the soil layer and compared the size.
"It's at least the weight of a normal adult, maybe even a little heavier, and the paw print is about the same size as my fist."
Lin Chou looked at the paw prints all over the slope of the dam.
"Otter? Is this thing that strong? Each stone and piece of wood weighs at least several hundred kilograms, right? Has anyone ever discovered an alienated otter in Mingguang?"
Shan Ye scratched his head and said,
"I don't know. All the evolvers in Mingguang who have anything to do with water have been killed by the black army. I usually have to be very careful when crossing the river or wading in the water. I don't dare to go up there easily - you can see At the tiankeng, why don’t you realize that you haven’t figured out anything after such a long time? Apart from the gang at the Scientific Research Institute who don’t care about life, which hunter would dare to go there for nothing. I really don’t know much about the things in the water. .”
But Chi only spoke,
"Yes, there were otters near the sinkhole in the past, but they were very clever and ran away when they saw people. They have never built such a dam. How can they still do this?"
Su Yourong hugged the pot tightly,
"Hey, look at these tree trunks, they look like they have been chewed off. These teeth are really big."
Lin Chou nodded,
"Another poor kid who has never seen the animal world."
His face showed the excitement and enthusiasm for new ingredients that everyone is very familiar with.
Master Shan slapped his forehead,
"So... our dinner menu has been temporarily changed again?"
Lin Chou said,
"I have never seen an otter before. I only saw it when I was a child. They will build such a strong dam as a nest. The water surface intercepted by the dam will rise. The nest is half in the water and half on the water, but the entrance is at the bottom. This is a pair of natural enemies. It's equivalent to absolute defense, so they'll be very safe."
Lin Chou stared at the paw prints for a long time.
"Why don't I remember that otters have six claws? Could it be that they have mutated?"
Master Shan blinked his eyes,
"Ahem...what...why don't we go back to the shore first, and...we'll lie in wait for the opportunity. We've never seen this new type of strange beast, and we don't know what weird abilities they have. , Safety comes first!”
