Chapter 55: Mermaids Don't Cry 5
Tsing Yi leaned against the willow tree with his back, gasping for breath with some difficulty. As soon as she woke up, she felt that her stomach pouch seemed to be full of fish, and it fell so heavily that she felt very uncomfortable.
A fine dull pain spread from her stomach, so she couldn't help but lean down slightly to hug her stomach, and at the same time weakly shouted, "What's wrong with me, ah-it hurts-"
"Is it still that uncomfortable?" Seeing that Tsing Yi's face was pale in pain, and the corners of her forehead were faintly raised, she was not completely unbearable, and her heart suddenly calmed down, and then she turned her head and stared thoughtfully at the broken white fish that was cut by herself and frowned.
The blood in the strange fish's body seemed to have dried up long ago when the dead wood cut off its forelimbs, so the flesh on its tail that had been cut open was a faint pink white, and its milky eyes widened, and it lay there motionless, indeed dead and transparent.
"It's not good to have fish like this......" Deadwood muttered to himself with a numb expression, "White fish meat still needs to be fresh......
As she spoke, she reached out and took out an ebony box from under her cloak, stroked it twice, then turned around and walked straight towards the river, turning back to Tsing Yi as she walked, "You bear with me for a while, and I will get medicine for you." β
Tsing Yi hurt hard, and she felt a little disgusting, but that disgusting feeling was like nesting in her heart, although it was uncomfortable and tight, but she couldn't escape from life or death, which made her more and more painful.
Just hearing that the dead wood asked her to endure it for a while, she still endured the dull pain and nausea, and nodded lightly at the dead wood.
I don't know what the dead wood did by the river, and in less than a cup of tea, countless ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the river, which was originally quite calm.
It was as if many huge fish were scrambling up from the bottom of the river, and for a moment the river was churned and rattled.
Tsing Yi sat under the tree with his eyes closed, drowsy, when he heard a sharp and miserable baby cry not far away.
The sound was so tragic that Tsing Yi shuddered unconsciously, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the place where the screams came from.
The screams came from the river, but when Tsing Yi sat under the tree, he could only see a half-crouching black figure.
Tsing Yi saw that the man was wearing a huge black cloak, squatting by the river with his back to him, not knowing what he was doing.
The back looked very familiar, and the dazed Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, and then recognized that person was the master of the dead wood.
Before she could guess why Deadwood was squatting by the river, Deadwood's back moved slightly, and then he straightened up and turned around.
Tsing Yi's eyes widened for a moment, and he couldn't turn his eyes away from staring at the dead wood's face in a bit of a reaction.
When she approached Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi could even clearly see that a few drops of dark red blood were slowly flowing down her cheeks, and finally fell on the snow, turning into a black and red blood spot.
The dead wood who happened to look at Tsing Yi immediately showed a bright smile, but with the blood stains on half of her face, it made her look even more bewitching and terrifying.
She walked to Tsing Yi in three or two steps, stretched out her right hand, handed Tsing Yi the piece of white fish meat she was holding in her hand, and said with a smile: "This is the medicine that can cure the mermaid poison on your body." β
So saying, she used a lancet knife to slice a small piece of fish from the piece of fish.
The slice of fish appears somewhat transparent in the sunlight and gives off a soft shimmer of fat that is characteristic of fresh meat.
But the fish was not brought to Tsing Yi, and the dead wood only lifted the fish to reflect the sunlight for a moment, and then turned his hand and stuffed the fish into his mouth.
"Well--the fish is sweet and full of juice--" Deadwood chewed the fillet carefully, and then sighed, "A hundred years later, the flavor of the white fish is still the same, and it is still so luscious......
Tsing Yi covered his stomach and looked at the dead wood with a stunned face, chewing the sashimi very carefully and slowly, until he chewed it before swallowing it.
She closed her eyes and immersed herself in the deliciousness of the fish, and it took a long time for her to recover.
"Ah, the old nun really got carried away-" The dead wood who came back to his senses smiled apologetically at Tsing Yi, and then slice another piece of sashimi and sent it to Tsing Yi's mouth, "Eat it quickly, this fish is the antidote to the mermaid's poison." β
Tsing Yi hesitated for a moment when she heard this, she quickly glanced at the bloody cheeks of the dead wood, held back her nausea and dull pain, and whispered, "Isn't this fish meat taken from the white fish just now......
"Of course not." Deadwood explained with a smile, "If you want to cure the mermaid poison, you naturally have to go to the fresh white fish meat as an antidote, and the white fish in front of you swallowed without waiting for Lao Ni to finish cooking, and the fish meat was not an antidote, so Lao Ni went to catch another one." β
As if echoing the words of the dead wood, there was a sound of tail fins slapping against the water by the river.
Is the fish alive?
Thinking of the terrible appearance of the fish, Tsing Yi felt a little nervous in his heart. I didn't want to open my mouth, but there were bursts of pain and nausea in my abdomen, which was really tormenting. Remembering that Deadwood had eaten a slice of it by herself, there was no problem with it, so she gritted her teeth and resisted the idea, and immediately opened her mouth obediently and bit the fish fillet.
An indescribable delicacy slid from the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue in an instant, and the fish melted in the mouth like a snowflake. Just bite the tender fish meat with your teeth, and the delicious sweet gravy will flow out of the mouth, and then slowly flow down your throat and into your stomach.
Tsing Yi swallowed the fish almost in one gulp, and before she could smile happily, the piece of fish that had entered her stomach bounced in her stomach as if it were alive.
The expression on Tsing Yi's face suddenly froze, and he felt that his abdomen was churning, and a wave of intense vomiting* instantly surged from his stomach to his throat.
She didn't have time to cover her mouth, so she turned her head and vomited in the snow.
Mouthfuls of filth were constantly spit out by Tsing Yi, and it wasn't until she completely vomited out what she ate today that the feeling of nausea slowly disappeared.
"How do you feel now?" Dead wood saw that Tsing Yi spit it out, so he stepped forward to help Tsing Yi and said with a smile, "It's good to spit it out, but you just ate too much and it hurts, the poison is like this, it will make people want to eat fish constantly, if you eat it, you have to burst your stomach." β
Tsing Yi vomited for a long time, but now his stomach is empty, his stomach doesn't hurt anymore, but his throat hurts hotly. Hearing this, she covered her mouth and coughed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Master-cough-cough-"
Deadwood stretched out his left hand to support Tsing Yi, but he shook his head and replied, "No need to thank you, it just so happens that Lao Ni wants to ask you for a favorβ"
"Hehe, do you still eat this fish?" Master Gao's loud voice suddenly came out from the side, and then the dead wood felt a light hand, and when he turned around, he saw that the fat Master Gao was grabbing the piece of fish and chewing it, muttering while eating, "Mmmmmm, it's delicious, I can't eat enough of it so delicious......
Tsing Yi was taken aback when she saw this, as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly asked, "Ahem-Master Gao, isn't there still half a big fishtail in the kitchen that has not been cooked?" Have you eaten it all? What about the bowl of fish balls I put on the stove? Did you eat it too? β
"Fish - I've already eaten it-" Master Gao devoured the piece of fish, and finally licked his fingers and replied with an unhappy face, "I just reached out to take the fish balls, but I was seen by Hei Saburo who entered the kitchen, and I directly snatched them and swallowed them in one go!" That guy was too stingy, I just wanted to eat one, and he wouldn't even keep one for me, he ate it all himself! β
Tsing Yi was silent for a moment. But the dead wood showed a strange expression, as if talking to himself: "I really can't think of it...... He actually ate ......"
Master Gao licked his mouth again, looked around a few times with a salivating appearance, and when he saw the big fish that had been cut into pieces by dead wood, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he pounced on it at once, holding the cut fish flesh and eating it violently.
Tsing Yi couldn't look directly at Master Gao's wild appearance of gnawing on fish, so he glanced at it, and suddenly turned to look at other places unbearably.
As soon as she turned her gaze, she suddenly saw that the body of the dead fish was slowly sliding into the river.
The fish had long since died, and had been on the bank of the river for a long time without moving, so how could it suddenly move now?
Tsing Yi felt that something was wrong, and immediately stared at the body of the fish to take a closer look.
Then she found the fish with a pair of white hands.
There was a layer of webbing between the fingers of that hand, and the sharp nails were deeply hooked into the flesh of the white fish, because the color of the hand was almost the same as the color on the tail of the fish, and it was really impossible to see at a glance.
The hands were dragging the fish slowly into the river.
As the fish was dragged on the snow, its scales rubbed against the ice, making a rustling sound.
Seeing that the fish was about to be completely dragged into the water, Master Gao, who was eating raw fish by the river, still didn't know it, and was still there with his back to the river.
When the fish had been completely dragged into the river, a bright red head suddenly slowly emerged from the water, with an ape-like protruding muzzle and a wide mouth ajar, revealing two rows of sharp and fine teeth like a carnivorous fish.
As if to confirm the surrounding environment, the head slowly turned his head to look around, and finally stared straight at Master Gao, who was still eating meat vigorously on the riverbank.
Master Gao was so immersed in his insatiable appetite that he didn't even lift his head, let alone find the terrible head that was baring its teeth at him behind him.
Tsing Yi was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he immediately involuntarily took a step back to the dead wood, and then whispered in fright: "Master Gao-behind you-"
"Huh?" Master Gao raised his head when he heard the sound, his mouth was full of fish and meat, and he looked at Tsing Yi with a confused expression.
"Fish-fish-" Tsing Yi clung to Master Deadwood's side, stretched out his hand and pointed to the river behind him, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Behind you-fish-"
Because the expression on Tsing Yi's face was too frightened, Master Gao also felt that something was wrong, so he just took a mouth full of fish and turned his head to look behind him in confusion.
