The whimpering wind blew on the sunken sea, accompanied by the creaking sound of Haizi sharpening knives, echoing monotonously in this deserted settlement.

"I was born on this small island, and I heard that my family has a hereditary (xìng) mania, and the older generation died without leaving any legacy. When it came to his generation, the three brothers didn't seem to be very normal, so he couldn't find a wife when he reached the age when he should get married. Haizi said lightly

Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and only then did he react that the "he" in Haizi's mouth should refer to her father.

"Later, it was said that it was the government to help the poor? Anyway, we had a fishing boat, and I remember eating all kinds of seafood since I was a child. But still no one wants to get married. ”

Fu Li silently recited in his heart, "You've seen the hell...."

"Maybe he was afraid that the family would be cut off, so the old lady let him marry his own sister." Haizi smiled abruptly, "It's not so much about marrying him, it's better to say that you were forced by (bī)." There was no wedding, and it was impossible to register, so how could anyone be willing to marry him. ”

"So your parents are actually sisters and brothers?" Fu Li asked in disbelief

"Yes, otherwise no one else will marry him, so our family will not be cut off from children and grandchildren, but it is useless for the old lady to ask God and worship Buddha, they still can't give birth to a son." Haizi grinned, and the laughter that sounded brisk, but it was clearly creepy in Fu Li's ears.

"It is said that because they are afraid of being known about it, it will affect them to receive government subsidies. Under the pretext of fishing convenience, the family moved to this island, so that they could also receive an additional monthly subsidy for cultivating wasteland. Haizi smiled and said, "Look, they're not that stupid, are they?" ”

"And then?" Fu Li was completely immersed in this absurd and bizarre story, and forgot to ask the specific name of the island for a while

Later, in order to give birth to her son, the old lady encouraged her three sons to work together to get my mother pregnant again as soon as possible. But they beat me so hard that my mother soon fell ill. ”

"Hit too hard?"

"Yes, they think that not being able to conceive a child is a problem in my mother's stomach, and if it is not good, it would be good to hit it twice. You know, for example, if the TV is broken, just take a picture. ”

"How could it be..."

"Then they found out that my mother was no longer pregnant, that the old lady was dead, and that there were no other women on the island. It just so happened that I was growing up, and they used me to have a son. ”

The more bland Haizi said, the more Fu Li felt a huge physiological discomfort rushing to his face. The story she told was so bizarre that it sounded like a terrible nightmare from a mad madman.

"It's a pity that I can't give birth either, if only I could give birth to a son." Haizi sighed and said, "You humans, why do you want a son so much? I feel like if I had to choose, I'd rather have my mother than him. ”

"It's not like that, it's not like this in general..."Fu Li stumbled and said, "Generally speaking, I think, this uh... It's your father who is wrong, or your (nǎi) (nǎi) is wrong. ”

"Thinking about it now, it should be because I was too young at that time, it would be good to wait a few years, and I would be able to have a baby in a few years, but they..."

"What's wrong? What are you doing? ”

In the dim skylight, a bright smiling face was reflected, and the fair and transparent skin revealed a sickly beauty, and the girl said happily to the man who fell to the ground

"Now that the knife is sharpened, let's start cooking!"

"Oh, okay."

…

On the ground floor of the Municipal Museum in S City, Zhang Changxu was nervously processing the (qíng) report that came back, and Ren Yuan poked out a big basket after half a day's work, and the busy headquarters was anxious.

"Commander Zhang, Ren Yuan sent a contact to ask us to locate Haizi's location." Liu Wei pushed the door in and handed over the report

"I'll deal with this later, what's going on with the mercenary?" Zhang Changxu stared at the display screen in front of him and asked without raising his head

"The mercenary sent a message that Yan was dead, and he was suspected of committing suicide in fear of crime."

"Suicide?"

"Yes, there are no traces of other people at the scene, and the cause of death is currently due to poisoning."

"What about the surveillance records?"

"It's the same as the situation of Haizi's (qíng), it was destroyed, and it is not clear by what means."

"Hmph, if it's suicide, why bother breaking the monitoring equipment in one fell swoop." Zhang Changxu sneered, "Let the Third Research Institute come forward to find out the cause of Yan's death, and be sure to find out what is going on behind this." ”

"Yes."

After Liu Wei withdrew from the command room, Zhang Changxu pressed the communication channel and said

"Give me the No. 3 Research Institute, and immediately organize the gathering of people who have participated in the research of the Haizi experiment."

Soon, several researchers from the No. 3 Research Institute started a video conversation with Zhang Changxu

"I have news for you right now, that the Inhuman Autonomy Association has been exposed to colluding with the Adventists, and that there is an Inhuman Haizi on the run, and I need you to give you a plan to locate it." Zhang Changxu said straight to the point

"Haizi?" A researcher flipped through the information and said, "Intermediate D-class, god-type climate type alien, she has nothing special on land except for her physique, since she escaped, she must have escaped to the sea, right?" Didn't Skynet track it? ”

"No, she should have used a means of the advent sect to conceal anomalous fluctuations, and Skynet did not observe anomalies." Zhang Changxu said

"Well, wait a minute, when did you know when Haizi escaped?"

"About an hour ago, we lost the footage of the real-time monitoring transmission. She also lost contact with a member of the Coyote Brigade who often interacts with her (rì), and I have sent you a memo of the process so you can take a look. ”

"Okay, we'll give you an approximate search in a moment."

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Changxu asked

"Based on the speed at sea, we can roughly estimate her escape range, and the distance she can move in just an hour is very limited. Considering that she also brought an ordinary person with her, it was not ruled out that she would stay on the surrounding islands. Since the disaster ministry's skynet for abnormal fluctuations cannot be seen, it is sufficient to mobilize military satellites to directly search for objects within the demarcated area and move in a high-speed straight line and long distances. ”

"How long will it take to get results?"

"Give us half a little... No, I'll give you feedback in fifteen minutes. ”

…

Although Fu Li is responsible for transporting Haizi's daily necessities, it is the first time he has seen Haizi cooking.

The thin, sharp kitchen knife flew up and down in the girl's hand, skillfully and accurately handling the dazzling array of seafood. In no time, a large pile of materials mixed with fish, shellfish, and molluscs were cleaned.

With the water from the well, Haizi poured them into a freshly polished copper pot and set them up on a fire raised with a fire knife. The tumbling seafood soup has a coppery green color, and the fragrance wafting up is also a hint of sweetness. Although there is no seasoning, this pot of soup is unexpectedly very good-looking after Haizi's conditioning.

While waiting for the pot to boil, Fu Li watched Haizi sharpen the wooden chopsticks with the knife.

"Where did we just go?" Haizi asked suddenly

"Say, it's like saying that your mother can't have children..."

"Oh yes, I remember." Haizi nodded and said, "After that, my mother died. ”

"Dead?"

"Yes, he kicked him to death. He knew that his mother had given me the ability to heal his wounds, but he still went to beat her. Haizi pursed his lips and said a little angrily, "It's good to beat me, why do you want to beat my mother!" ”

"I don't think it's good to hit you..."

"Why did my mother die, you say?" Haizi suddenly asked Fu Li seriously

"This... I guess I was tortured by your father..."

"No, I was the one who killed my mother." Haizi shook his head and said, "The fundamental reason is that I didn't give birth to a boy, she thought wrong, she thought everything wrong. She gave me everything in order for me to have a baby for that man, and she thought that in this way I would be able to have a baby and that man would be satisfied. But she was wrong, I couldn't give birth at all, and my mother was counting on the wrong person from the beginning. ”

"What did you say?" Fu Li hurriedly interrupted her, "You said your mother asked you to go to that or something?" ”

"yes, I didn't really want to have children in the first place. But my mother told me that it was okay to have a boy, whether it was a man, an uncle, an uncle, or whoever I had with it. As long as I give birth to a child, even a girl, when she is old enough to have children, my mother and I will be free. ”

Hearing this, Fu Li felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he finally understood that this family, as Haizi said before, had gone completely crazy.

"But she died before I could give birth to a boy." Haizi was silent, and said with some grievances, "Don't talk about giving birth to a boy, I haven't even been pregnant, do you think I'm useless?" If my mother hadn't counted on me to be so useless, and had worked hard to give birth to one herself, maybe she wouldn't have died. She has given birth and must know how to get pregnant better than I do. ”

Looking at Haizi who was dejected, Fu Li felt as if his reason had been trampled on madly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"So after my mother died, I figured out that since I had failed my mother's hopes, I had to turn everything around with my own hands." Haizi said quietly, "Since the problem is that I can't give birth to a child, wouldn't it be nice to solve the problem of the person I gave birth to?" ”

"Are you..."

Haizi looked at the kitchen knife in his hand, his eyes gradually became deeper, and his thoughts drifted to that night nine years ago, and even his voice carried an indescribable etherealness

"I began to think, what's the difference between a man and a woman? The difference is just there, so I thought it would be nice to just turn that man into a woman and let him have a baby with his uncle and uncle? ”

"It's actually very easy, they like to drink so much that every time they sell fish, they change it and ship it back. Then after hugging me at night, they would get so drunk that they wouldn't wake up with a knife. I sharpened the knife quickly and sharply, and with a single stroke he would become a woman and take my place at work. ”

Fu Li really couldn't describe his heart (qíng) at this time, he didn't know how to speak, and what to say when he spoke. Knowing that this was a tragedy that had ended ten years ago, his heart couldn't help beating violently following the girl's description. He asked in a hoarse voice

"And then?"

"I succeeded and I failed." Haizi said a little depressed, "I turned that man into a woman, but they didn't agree with my approach, they all thought I was wrong." Now, do you think I'm really wrong? ”

"Well, as far as I know..."Fu Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, "The difference between a man and a woman is not that simple..."

"yes, you think so, too. It seems like I'm doing something wrong, but it doesn't matter. Haizi shook his head and said

"After all, what happens after that (qíng) has nothing to do with that."
