Chapter 45: The Fathead Fish
The river at the pier in the north of the town is flat and wide, as calm as a lake, and the mist on the river surface gives people the feeling that there is no end in sight.
The waterfront is covered with reeds more than a man tall, and the stems stand upright, showing a golden yellow like a wheat field in the afternoon sun.
More than 20 wooden steps are hidden in the reeds, extending from the river to the middle of the water, because of the erosion of the river waves, the planks have rotted, and some even lack several pieces, and people will creak when they step on it.
The four of them supported each other, for fear that one of them would accidentally step on the wooden plank and fall into the water, and several two-eyed wild monsters 'devil frogs' had been waiting in the reeds for a long time.
At the end of the wooden tread, there were more than a dozen small boats, and the four of them chose a light boat with a shed, and waved their oars to move away, and the two-eyed devil frog followed, and refused to leave around the boat.
The devil frog's hateful face made Baili Tu Su, Guigu Qi and Cheng Cheng look a little frightened.
Ye Bai put down the "Introduction to Wild Monsters" and comforted: "Don't worry, these devil frogs are wild monsters in the shallow water area, and they won't follow them when they reach the deep water area." It's a pity that with our current strength, we can't deal with more than three two-eyed monsters at the same time, and the follow-up road will be more dangerous, and we must speed up the improvement of our strength! ”
The three of them nodded in agreement, in this crisis-ridden world, having strength is the key to survival.
As Ye Bai said, when the boat reached the middle of the river, the devil frog stopped following.
The four of them turned the bow of the boat and went upstream, starting an unknown journey to find Hua Qianyu.
~
After the first day of peace, the four of them found a calm bay, anchored on the shore, and snuggled up to each other and slept in the cabin.
The next day, when the sky was light, 'good luck' befell them - a group of wild monsters from the river surrounded them, and the wild monster 'Fathead Fish' was eye-catching.
These fathead fish are really fat, fat only have a round head the size of a gymnastics ball, and the jagged fangs are exposed outside the lips, because they are too long, squeezing the eyes to the top of the head, looking extremely funny and ugly.
The fathead fish was originally a wild monster in the deep water, because it found the food that could move on the boat, so it followed all the way here, and finally waited until the boat stopped.
The fat-headed fish quickly gathered at night, released a lot of noise by swimming and slapping the water, and declared war on the people on the boat: "Listen to the food on the ship, you have been surrounded by us, you can't escape, and those who know each other should come out quickly, although we can't leave you with a whole corpse, because we also have to fill our stomachs, but at least we can make you die a little more happily!" ”
The fathead fish finished shouting, but the boat did not give any response.
The fathead fish were stunned, what's going on? If the food doesn't come out, they'll be out of the way.
At this time, a red fathead fish volunteered to stand up and suggested: "I heard that these people on the boat are called 'people', and their behavior is very strange, and they like to see us stuff the hook into their mouths, we might as well trick them out!" ”
The fathead fish followed its advice and began to splash up and down in the water en masse, making louder noises: "Help, help!" There are a group of fish drowning here, what kind person can put a hook down and rescue us? ”
But there was still no movement on board.
The group of fatheads was silent again, and the red fathead fish suggested again: "I heard that 'people' are all righteous creatures, and in order for our brothers to be born and die, we will be able to lure them out by taking advantage of their shortcomings!" ”
So the fathead fish group collectively circled in the water, making a uniform noise: "Listen, the people in the boat, we are your good brothers, fathead fish, if you are brothers, come out and cut me!" ”
……
At the same time, the situation on board the ship is as follows:
After rowing for a day, the four of them were already exhausted, and after the boat docked, the sky immediately darkened, and the four of them fell asleep after eating dry food and drinking water.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of water slapping outside the boat, Cheng Cheng was startled, and said in a panic: "Could it be that a group of wild monsters are coming outside?" ”
Ye Bai replied: "It is very likely that it is dark outside and it is the time when the wild monsters are active at night, but even if we go out, we can't see anything, and it is the wisest thing to hide in the cabin and sleep honestly!" ”
When he said this, the other three felt the same, so they simply let go of their courage and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but the noise in the water became louder and louder, as if something had fallen into the water and was struggling desperately, so noisy that the four of them couldn't sleep.
Cheng Cheng said angrily: "Damn, I'm about to pee out when I'm nervous, I'll go out and put some water to see the situation by the way." ”
With that, he got up and went to the board, and after a 'boo' sound, he got back in.
"How? Did you find anything? Baili Tusu asked nervously.
"I can't see anything in the dark outside, but I poured a soak of urine into the river, and those things didn't make trouble!"
The three of them listened attentively, and if this was indeed the case, it was completely quiet outside, so they fell asleep again.
The fathead fish were very angry, they did not calculate that the enemy on the ship would shamelessly use 'biological weapons', after the yellow liquid fell, they were so smoky by the stench that they could not stand it, and had to retreat strategically, waiting until the stench dissipated before daring to turn back again.
"Stinky and shameless, you come out, you have the ability to do it with a knife, don't pee in the water!"
The fathead fish were furious.
"I'll go and come again!" The four of them were woken up again, and Cheng Cheng pushed Ye Bai, "Brother Bai, it's your turn." ”
"Understood."
Ye Bai got up in a daze, walked to the side of the boat in a daze and released himself, the river immediately quieted down again, and the four of them fell asleep peacefully again.
An hour later, the school of fathead fish turned back again and severely reprimanded:
"We are here to fight, not to destroy the ecological environment, we are very sorry for your actions and have decided to sanction and crack down on you, please come out and accept the punishment!"
The four of them were woken up again, and Ye Bai and Cheng Cheng kicked Guigu Qi, who was sleeping opposite, with their feet at the same time, and said, "It's your turn." ”
"Roger."
Guigu Qi stood up extremely reluctantly and walked outside the cabin.
After a 'water' sound, another hour of sleep was exchanged.
"I've never seen such a brazen person!"
With great rage, the school of fathead fish turned back again and screamed.
Cheng Cheng got up excitedly, and smiled evilly at Baili Tu Su: "Sister Tu Su, should ......"
Baili Tusu: "Get out!" ”
Cheng Cheng turned to Ye Bai with an aggrieved face, and asked for help: "Captain, you give a comment, Sister Tu Su doesn't follow the rules and has no team spirit, I ask you to criticize her harshly!" ”
Ye Bai rolled his eyes and said to Guigu Qi: "If you want to kill him, I will never stop him!" ”
Then he kicked Cheng Cheng hard again, urging: "As the captain, I announce that the task of peeing tonight will be carried out by the three of us men alternately, and now it's yours again." ”
Cheng Cheng got up helplessly and complained: "Men and women are really unequal, I will go if I go, but I have 'dried up my urine cyst', don't blame me if I can't sprinkle it." ”
"Wait!" Baili Tu Su dragged him back, his face was slightly red, and he said, "Let me go first." “
Ye Bai: "Tu Su, don't pay attention to the fat man, he likes to joke." “
"It's not." Baili Tusu was a little embarrassed, "I, I...... Can't hold it back! ”
Then he pointed at Cheng Cheng and said, "Ah Qi, go and cover his ears, he can't pee when he listens!" ”
Cheng Cheng looked confused and said indignantly: "Why can't I pee when I listen to you, Brother Bai?" ”
Baili Tu Su smiled slyly: "He's handsome, I don't mind!" ”
After saying that, he hurriedly ran out of the cabin.
Cheng Cheng wailed: "God, open your eyes and take a look!" The inequality in this world has escalated, from gender inequality to beauty and ugliness inequality! You're in charge! ”
In the face of his commotion, Ye Bai was speechless and rolled his eyes, and then fell asleep, Guigu Qi really pounced on Cheng Cheng and forcibly covered Cheng Cheng's ears.
