He was certain that he had never seen this thing before.）For Xu Lei, a child who had lived in the city since he was young, it was unbelievable that there were animals living in the river. In his impression, only birds and fish lived in the river.
" Squeak squeak…" After the thing woke up, it shook its head and struggled to run towards the river. Due to its terrifying speed in the water, Xu Lei didn't dare to hesitate at all. He jumped five meters away and blocked its path.
" Squeak squeak!" This thing bared its teeth and barked at him twice. Its reddish-brown fur completely stood up, causing its fat body to suddenly double in size. Its aura looked unusually fierce.
With his speed, Xu Lei wasn't afraid of it fighting on the shore. He also lowered his limbs slightly and made a pouncing posture, ready to receive the attack.
The development of the matter was once again beyond his expectations. The fellow suddenly retracted its fur and turned its body around to escape into the river.
"No way, I was actually feigned?”Xu Lei leaped again, and his sharp claws instantly pressed against its back.
" Squeak squeak…" Seeing that he was stopped, the fellow quickly turned around and opened his mouth to bite him.
Xu Lei's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. His sharp claws slapped the creature's head, making it dizzy again. However, after a while, he realized something. This guy was not only fast in the water, but he was also extraordinarily strong. Just now, he was almost dragged into the mud and suffocated to death. However, he was ordinary on the shore and had very little strength. He was not his match at all. The difference was unbelievable.
"Could it be the water monkey?" A thought appeared in Xu Lei's mind.
When he was young, his parents were afraid that he would sneak into the river to bathe, so they often made up stories about water monkeys in the river to scare him. It said that this thing was very strong in the water, and even an adult man could not beat it. When it saw someone taking a bath, it would suddenly grab your feet and drag you down until you suffocated in the mud. (This chapter was uploaded by 79 Literature Network.

The water monkey was very strange. It had lost all its strength after coming ashore. A child could easily lift it up.
Xu Lei compared this thing to the legendary water monkey and found that it really did look like it.
" Squeak squeak…" That guy's voice became louder and louder. His body kept twisting and struggling, but it was useless. Xu Lei's sharp claws had at least three to four hundred pounds of strength. At this moment, he was pressing down on the water monkey's center of gravity, making it impossible for the water monkey to use its strength.
After struggling for seven to eight minutes, the guy probably understood that it was impossible to escape. His body completely lost its strength and he lay on the ground like a pile of rotten tofu. Her two small eyes looked at Xu Lei listlessly, and her mouth made a weak sound. He looked like he was at his mercy.
Xu Lei didn't know what to do. His parents would definitely be frightened if he brought the water monkey home. He didn't eat raw meat, so it would be a pity to kill him, so he let him go. If not for it, he would not have been able to find the sunken ship so quickly.
Just as he was about to let go of the water monkey, he heard a few loud cries from behind. The water monkey under its claws struggled violently again. It let out a hurried and loud sound, as if reminding the other party not to come over.
The figure was getting closer and closer. Soon, a wet head poked out from under a crooked tree. It was one size smaller than the one in front of him. It screamed at Xu Lei twice, twisted its body, and disappeared into the water.
Very soon, the fellow popped his head out again, and in his mouth was a live fish that weighed more than two catties.
Just as Xu Lei was feeling puzzled, he saw the water monkey slowly climb out of the water and clumsily crawl toward Xu Lei with the big fish in its mouth.
This time, the trapped water monkey cried out even more urgently. Its body suddenly exerted strength and almost escaped from Xu Lei's claws.
What kind of show was this? Xu Lei was completely confused. This guy was quite bold. He knew that the speed on land was very slow, but he still dared to come and die.
" Zhi zhi." When it was still ten feet away from him, the water monkey turned its head and threw the big fish on the ground, letting out a few ear-piercing screams.
"Could it be that you want to use the fish to redeem this water monkey?”He looked at it for a while and finally understood what this guy was trying to say.
After the car accident, Xu Lei changed from a high school student who was ignorant of society to a stray dog with scars all over his body. He looked at life from a different perspective and could see the society more clearly. There were too many temptations in society that made many people lose their nature and become indifferent to reality.
Therefore, when people were in danger, instead of trying to help each other out of the predicament, it was common for them to abandon their companions and hit others when they were down. Animals could put themselves in danger to save their companions. From this point of view, sometimes human behavior was worse than animals.
Xu Lei had originally intended to let it go. After seeing the scene in front of him, he let go of his claws and jumped to the side.
The two water monkeys didn't disappear into the water. Instead, they floated on the surface of the water and looked at Xu Lei curiously.
Xu Lei was still thinking about the sunken ship he had just found. There must be a lot of antiques in the cabin. However, these two fellows refused to leave the water, and he did not dare to enter the river.
On land, the two water monkeys were no match for him. However, in the water, he was just a small dish. Any one of them could pull him into the deep water.
In the end, Xu Lei got impatient and suddenly ran to the river bank, howling at them.
Only then did the two fellows dive into the water in panic. From the ripples, they should have escaped far away.
Feeling safe, Xu Lei dived back into the water. Of course, he was very careful this time. From time to time, he would turn his head to look at his surroundings so that he could escape as soon as possible if he encountered the water monkey again.
As he approached the bottom of the river, Xu Lei examined the sunken ship. He didn't know what kind of wood the sunken ship was made of, but it was still so sturdy after being soaked in mud for hundreds of years.
This was Xu Lei's ignorance. In fact, when wood was placed in the mud and isolated from oxygen, not only would it not rot, but it would also be stronger. People living in the countryside knew that when building houses in the past, they would throw wood into the water or bury it in the mud for a period of time to make the wood stronger and more durable.
When he entered the cabin, he immediately felt sorry. There was a pile of broken porcelain bowls at the bottom of the cabin. Judging from the marks, they were all new. It was obvious that they had been broken when they were moving the sunken ship.
He searched for a long time in the cabin and finally found two blue-and-white porcelain bowls in a pile of broken porcelain pieces.
He didn't gain much, so he got out of the cabin gloomily.
As soon as he came out, Xu Lei was shocked again and almost threw the porcelain bowl away.
The two water monkeys were looking at him stealthily from not far away, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Xu Lei was afraid that these two guys would make things difficult for him, so he swam especially fast. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he climbed ashore.
" Squeak squeak." Another head popped out of the water and shouted happily at him. He didn't know what it was saying.
However, Xu Lei soon knew the answer. After nearly five minutes, another guy ran to the river bank with a porcelain bottle that was 30 to 40 centimeters tall.
After the water monkey placed the porcelain bottle on the shore, it let out a few happy cries and went back into the water.
This was the same as the big fish. Were they both given to him?
Seeing the porcelain bottle, Xu Lei's eyes lit up. The surface of the glaze was smooth and oily. Under the sunlight, it looked like jade. There was a painting of flowers and birds on the bottle. Although he could not see the artistic conception, he could tell that the painting was very good. The color gave off an elegant and gentle feeling.
The item this time was definitely valuable!
