Chapter 287 Deep Sea Fish(1/2)
The moonlight illuminates the way back for mankind.
The short-haired young man was swaying in his steps. If he hadn't been supported by someone, he might have slipped on the sole of his foot, stepped on a puddle and fell into the field ridge, rolling all over in mud.
"Brother Xia...Brother Xia has a rock in front of me!" The minor grabbed the adult and pulled him to the left, barely avoiding the raised obstacle.
I don’t know who would be so unethical and drop the gravel on the ground. It looked like a stone slab falling to the ground and breaking into pieces.
Gao Tianyi pulled once and it was still a pull, but when he pulled it twice, the young man collapsed a little.
"I said." Gao Tianyi tugged on the adult's sleeve and tried to turn his head, "Can we go faster."
Go back early so that drunk adults can take sobering medicine.
They made a mistake and didn't bring everything with them. Just relying on refreshing spells didn't have much effect. It was considered a success to make Xia Chengyin react to his drunken state so late.
Gao Tianyi took out another talisman and stuck it on the adult's back, thinking about the possibility of knocking the person unconscious.
If you think about it, you will find that it is unrealistic. A young man cannot defeat an adult without using any means, not to mention that the other three are on their own, and no one cares about him.
Gao Tianyi: I am still young and I am so tired.
A man and a woman at the back sandwiched another companion in the middle. The one wearing glasses observed carefully, especially the area between the black-haired young man's cheek and the auricle. The skin there was smooth and there was no abnormality.
"There are really no adverse reactions?"
"No."
"Well, this is the truth."
"...Everything he has said so far is not true." Qi Zhuyue tossed her head irritably and messed up her long hair, "That fish on the table...Bai Su, you said the fish you saw in the backyard
——"
The person under observation lowered his head and quickly slid his fingers on the screen of his mobile phone.
For a while, the black-haired young man seemed to have seen something, holding his chin and lost in thought.
"..." Qi Zhuyue didn't know what to say, so she could only call out the person's name again, "Baisu?"
The black-haired young man turned his head following the voice, and looked at the human woman with eyes of the same color. He opened his lips lightly: "I just... saw this fish."
The screen of the mobile phone was turned to someone else, and after loading for a long time through a slow network, a photo appeared - a silver-gray oarfish with a red dorsal fin.
This fish is actually nothing. The photos on the Internet make it look a bit ugly, and its body looks extremely huge compared with other fish around it.
But the problem is, Bai Su saw it in the backyard.
"Are you alive?" Tang Nuo asked.
"It's alive." Bai Su replied, "The moment the light hit it, it swam twice."
The coiled figure is more hidden under the water, and what can be observed with the naked eye is the head-down dodging movement of the banded fish.
The three to four meter long body is condensed in this small water tank. It's a little pitiful, but more importantly, it's weird how deep-sea fish survive on the shore.
Human beings looked at the photo, heard the answer, and fell into deep thought.
They really didn't expect that on their first day and night, they would encounter such a thrilling and unconventional thing during dinner.
With the appearance of the oarfish, the other fish in the fish tank are not very eye-catching. After Bai Su's search and identification, he still found a few fish that did not belong to shallow water.
How could he normally come into contact with so many fish? He could recognize the oarfish because he had caught it while playing a human game. What was that game called? One was an island building game. All he fished for was bass all day long. He didn't know anything about that game.
Interested, I played it once or twice after being recommended by fans; another game called Fishing ○ Undercurrent also has oarfish, which is one of the few fishes that has no mutation.
One thing he said was that he was quite curious about the taste of those contaminated and mutated fish... was it the same as the ones cooked in this village?
"By the way." Thinking of something, Bai Su took back his phone, "I asked where the water pipe in the backyard leads to."
Under Bai Su's description, Tang Nuo could almost restore the layout of the backyard.
There are three rows of fish tanks that are three or four stories high. The top layer of each stack is connected to a water pipe. Several water pipes merge into a corner of the yard to form a very thick one, which climbs from the position opposite to the water tank.
Get out.
"People... said it was connected to sea water."
"...Huh?"
The eyes of the three parties faced each other. Except for Bai Su's plain eyes, Tang Nuo and Qi Zhuyue undoubtedly showed expressions of astonishment.
Sea water.
Bai Su also confirmed it, and the middle-aged woman said that those water pipes led to the sea.
If you want to talk about raising marine fish, humans can still make it up and find some barely credible scientific methods to explain how the fish was transported. After all, money can make all the difference.
But the sea water... Let’s not talk about the altitude of this mountain village, but let’s talk about how dilapidated the pipes are. To draw some liquid from the mountain stream, you have to cross hundreds of meters of horizontal ditch... To put it bluntly, it is too dilapidated.
The humans had obviously thought of this as well. When they left Wen Jianyuan's home, they turned a corner and took a look behind the house. Indeed, there were inconspicuous pipes sunk into the turf and covered by vegetation.
I didn’t see it during the day, maybe they ignored it.
"Then... let's just consider it to be sea water and living deep-sea fish..." Tang Nuo pressed his forehead and gave up thinking, "We will discuss these issues tomorrow. The top priority is-"
He led other people's eyes to look forward. In front of him, two people, one large and one small, were squatting on the ground in an imageless manner.
Bai Su: "...Does Officer Xia have a bad drinking capacity?"
Tang Nuo: "Actually, it's pretty good, but I can't bear to drink so much today. It's a gift to be able to drink like crazy until now."
Qi Zhuyue: "I think we should help each other... Taoist priest Xiao Gao almost fainted from the pressure."
After being reminded by Qi Zhuyue, who really couldn't stand it anymore, the two men finally stepped forward and each of them pulled up the person on the ground.
Xia Chengyin was so drunk that he was half asleep, relying entirely on his own conditioned reflexes to move around. Bai Su was almost hit by him when he walked over, but there was no reaction after Tang Nuo was replaced.
In response, Tang Nuo pushed up his glasses and said, "It's probably because he's not familiar with your breath yet."
Bai Su looked at his hand that was almost hit and shrugged indifferently.
When he went to lift Xia Chengyin, he considered the strength of human arms. Since humans didn't appreciate it, he stepped aside. It was quite effortless to lift the human imp.
After wholeheartedly transporting the drunkard, they finally returned to their place of residence under the moonlight, accompanied by the distant sounds of barking dogs and insects from time to time.
First, they put the drunkard in and drank anti-hangover medicine until he sobered up. Then he took out some samples hidden in his clothes and brought them back for testing.
In the end, only Bai Su and Qi Zhuyue were left standing together with nothing to do.
It can't be said that everything is fine. According to the human plan, they planned to do a simple check-up on Bai Su, who had eaten the entire fish feast.
Even if the person involved says it doesn't matter, the inspection is still necessary.
This job fell to Qi Zhuyue who had nothing else to do.
As soon as the human woman heard this, she put on a mask of pain in her heart, and her entire emotion was expressed as - you might as well kill me.
Bai Su felt that it was too quiet around him. He raised his eyes and looked at Qi Zhuyue, who had a "calm" expression beside him.
"It's not about inspection." He asked, "Is it enough to just look at it?"
"Ah...ah, wait a moment." Qi Zhuyue suppressed a sentence.
She returned to the house and took out the blood collection props from the bag. Their special department's bag was just like this. It could be regarded as a treasure bag to a certain extent, but of course, it still couldn't reach the level of Doraemon.
She went in and out quickly, and when she came out, the black-haired young man was standing under the moonlight.
The moon, which had been covered by clouds for a long time, finally came out, and the cool light shone on people's bodies, creating several circles of intoxicating white light.
As if it was Qi Zhuyue's illusion, she seemed to be blinded by the moonlight. How could she see gills opening and closing like fish on a person's face... hmm?
By the time Qi Zhuyue came to her senses, she had already crossed the two-meter gap and touched Bai Su's face.
It feels cold to the touch. There is no so-called gill structure, just a smooth skin.
It’s just... can human body temperature really be that cold?
"What's wrong?" Bai Su asked.
His plain eyes looked at the human woman who was half a head shorter than him. She was looking at him blankly, her hand still pressed against his cheek.
This was a very close distance, almost intimate, but Bai Su did not avoid human touch.
After all, he created the illusion of fish gills on purpose.
For humans, it seems like they are seeing an illusion that does not exist, but for Baisu, it only needs to slightly modify the contours of the cheeks to simulate the respiratory organs of the fish.
No, Qi Zhuyue was confused after just one glance, and then staggered over, wanting to touch the reality she saw.
When the woman's hand was about to touch it, the change disappeared.
Now, the black-haired young man pretended to take a step back and away from the woman's hand, and then put all his doubts aside.
"Has there been any change on my face?" He asked knowingly and touched his face, then touched the back of his cheek towards his ears.
The ear bones are soft and are being kneaded by the fingertips. They are human ears, not fish fins.
After a long silence, the human woman finally woke up from what she saw.
The cold temperature escaped from her fingertips, and she could only rub her fingers twice, recalling the possibility of smoothness and coolness coexisting.
This man's skin is also so good...the temperature...the temperature may be caused by the night breeze.
The night wind in the mountains blew gently, causing a row of goosebumps to appear on the exposed skin.
To be continued...
