Songhua River Dragon Falling Event?

1August, 944 (I can't remember the exact date), my father Ren Baijin led me (Ren Dianyuan, then 27 years old) and fishermen Cong Laishun (43 years old) and Sheba (38 years old) to sail out of the river for fishing. We leave the river for as little as three to five days and as much as ten days. We also crossed the river with four ships 10 people.

This morning, our boat sailed to the south bank of Mudanjiang (formerly known as Songhua River Section 1) (then under the jurisdiction of Zhaoyuan County, located at 15 km northwest of Zhaoyuan County), and suddenly found a lot of people surrounded behind Chenjiaweizi Village, which is estimated to be more than four times that of Chenjiaweizi Village. We put the boat ashore and asked a man on the shore. The man whispered to us, "The black dragon of Heilongjiang has landed on the beach!" " "On hearing the news, we were both excited and nervous. Father said, "surfing the internet on fish is not bad." Let's go and have a look! " "Five boats/kloc-more than 0/0 people all landed, and we almost arrived by running.

Seeing that scene, all the old "osprey" like my father were shocked. But I saw a huge black animal lying on the beach. It's too big! Chen Jiaweizi's people built a shed on it with wicker, which is more than 20 meters long. Body length 10 meters, head and neck thinner than the body, as big as a small bull's head. Slightly square, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. There is no fork on its head, but there is a flat shovel-like horn on its forehead, which is short and straight, and its root is about 10 cm thick. The face is similar to the dragon in the painting, with seven or eight long beards, thick and hard, and still shaking. The mouth is like the mouth of a catfish, flat and wide. The mouth is more than 30 centimeters long, and the teeth and tongue are closed. It closes its eyes and there is a fly in the corner of its eye. When its eyelids moved, the fly flew away with a snort. It has four claws, but I can't see how many toes they have, because the claws are deeply stuck in the sand and the calves are thicker than the young man's arms. The first half of its body is very thick. Because it is lying on the ground, it can be seen that it is as high as the waist of an adult, and the estimated diameter is over 1 m. The back of the hind leg is the tail, which is thinner than the front, but it is very long, with a foot of eight or nine meters. The whole image is like a huge four-legged snake (called horse snake in Northeast China, that is, lizard). It is covered with scales, and the scales on its back are iron blue, as big as an ice tray and similar in shape to carp scales. The scales on the belly and claws are pink and white, which are tender and slightly smaller than those on the back. The scales on my back are as dry as dried fish. A large group of flies flew around it, and it shook its scales from time to time and made a dry "click" sound. Every time it rings, the fly flies "buzzing"; As soon as the noise stopped, the flies fell again. Its smell is so strong that it can be smelled hundreds of meters away. There has been a long ditch lying under it, and all the tender weeds around it have been trampled down by it. It's a pity that you can't see what footprints are like.

There are only more than 20 families in Chenjiaweizi, with a total population of more than 60, but more than 300 people are present. It turns out that people from several nearby villages, such as people's enemies, tile houses and Shangwozi, are all here. They have buckets to pick, pots to carry, tools to hold water, and everything is under the command of Jin Gyeong, the pseudo-village head of Chen Jiaweizi. Jin Gyeong forbids people to call it a "dragon", just a "water bug". According to Jin Gyeong, he was here yesterday afternoon, but there was nothing. This morning, someone saw this "water bug", which means that it was lying here last night and was found this morning. Jin Gyeong organized the Chen family to set up a shed, and then asked people to carry water and pour it on the water worms. As soon as the water is poured, the scales on the water bugs shake, and people pour water on the water bugs in buckets. Sheba said, "Look, its neck looks like a horse's neck! This guy is very fat, if only he killed someone and ate meat. "

After watching it for more than an hour, my father said, "Let's go and see it tomorrow." In this way, we barely got on the boat. On the boat, everyone is still talking about it. Cong Laishun said: "If this' water bug' has no tail, it is Lao Li with a bald tail in Heilongjiang." Xie overbearing: "This must be the black dragon of Heilongjiang. Don't you see it's all black? " Everyone didn't even catch the fish.

It rained heavily that afternoon and turned into a rainstorm at night. It rained all night, sometimes slowly, sometimes urgently. The next morning it turned into Mao Mao rain. After our five boats went straight to Chenjiaweizi Village, we got there to have a look, and our hearts were cold! Only a deep ditch where the "Black Dragon" once lay, the sand still exudes a strong smell. According to the local people, "Shuichong" left in the middle of the night. No one knows how and where it went, because it is impossible for anyone to wait for it on a rainy night. However, we can clearly see that there is a deep ditch in the northeast of the sand ditch where it is located. Obviously, it was done when standing up, which means it is likely to go northeast, but how to get there is a mystery. Could it be that the fish scales flew a certain distance like an airplane and then spread out and flew? This can only be a guess.

Later, when we went fishing there, we heard the local people whisper that the Japanese had blocked the news and people were not allowed to talk around. It has been more than 40 years now. We still don't know what animal it is, but the scene more than 40 years ago is still vivid, as if it happened yesterday. ...

This story was published in Volume 3, No.41February, 989 in the column "Wonders of the World" in Selected Books at Home and Abroad, and was edited and published by Shanghai People's Publishing House. The title is "The Black Dragon I See". Dulbert dictated to Ren Dianyuan, a retired cadre of Shan Dairy Farm, and the Dulbert Museum arranged it for young people. Ren Dianyuan died in early March. 1994. Excerpts from Chinese and Foreign Books published this manuscript at the same time, and also published a letter written by Ren Qingchun to the editorial department-Comrade Editor:

/kloc-It was my idea to write this article 0/0 years ago, because my father saw the "dragon" with his own eyes, which shocked me greatly. I always feel that it should be recorded and sorted out, which will be a very precious material. It has been more than 40 years, and many witnesses have passed away. For example, Cong Laishun and Xie Ba in the manuscript have long passed away, and even my father is 73 years old. But he is in good spirits and is not confused at all. It seems as if it happened yesterday.

I don't know if there are any records in Zhaoyuan County, but I believe there are witnesses like my father near Chenjiaweizi. This is the first time I have disclosed it to the newspaper. Although I heard about it from my father a long time ago, I doubted the truth of it at that time. 1986 I went to Zhaoyuan county on business and stayed in an individual hostel opposite the county hostel. An old man in the same room chatted with me at night, and the story was exactly the same as my father's. I asked him where he came from, and he replied that he was from Chen Jiaweizi, who was 77 years old (unfortunately, he forgot to ask his name). He is also one of the witnesses, personally carrying water and pouring it on the black dragon. Through this, I believe that my father is telling the truth.
