I was shocked to hear it.

And having denied the initial speculation, I think the guy I shot is probably a half-water man.

"Bullshit water people, I think it's a group of mutant weirdos, it should be called a fishman!" The big brother who sells fritters continued to scold, and seemed to be very unhappy that he was being drawn on the outermost periphery.

I didn't know how to comfort me, so I had to take a bite of the fritters again, and then praised: "Big brother, your frying dough sticks are really good!" ”

The eldest brother immediately became proud: "That's not it, in the past, during the fishing holiday, I relied on selling fritters to support my family." ”

"Alas~ It's a pity that I can't go back now!" The eldest brother said with emotion and sadness.

"Can't go back? Why can't you go back? I asked, puzzled.

The eldest brother shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it is said that for thousands of years, no one who comes here can go out." Did you see, the city gate over there is not guarded, there is no one who wants to leave, it's not that everyone doesn't want to leave, it's that they can't leave at all, it's good to get in here, and you can't get out at all, it's like there's an invisible wall blocking it, you can't get out anyway.

And even if you go out, do you know how many meters from the sea level are here? If it's a few meters, it doesn't matter, if it's a few hundred meters, thousands of meters, or even tens of thousands of meters, you don't have the ability to breathe in the water of those fish-people, and if you leave, you will die. ”

When I heard this, I jumped up at once, ran back, and when I ran to the city gate, I suddenly hit my head on something, and my eyes were dark, and I fainted.

I was woken up by the big brother who sold fritters, pinching Renzhong, and when I woke up, I felt that my head was waiting, and Renzhong under my nose also hurt, and tears came out.

"See? can't get out, every time a newcomer comes, he will hit his face like this, you are good, brother, you are quite durable. The big brother who sells fritters praised.

I couldn't laugh or cry, but I didn't intend to give up, I just raised the speargun and shot it, but there was no sound, and the gun fell to the ground.

I was completely dead, and I also found a problem, when I came in, the resistance was soft and elastic, but when I went out, it became an invisible and hard wall.

I regret it a little bit when I think I'm going to be stuck here for the rest of my life.

I also remembered why Jiu Ye and Wang Sheng disappeared after they came in, they couldn't get out.

I feel uncomfortable, but it's impossible to complain to the big brother who sells fritters, people are just a fritters seller, and they can't ask too much.

So I was helpless, smelling a question that was not nutritious, but I was also very curious: "Where does this food come from?" Are there fruits and vegetables? Is there rice wheat? By the way, where did you get your fried fritter flour from? ”

"Bought it!" The eldest brother said speechlessly.

I was speechless: "I mean, can you farm here?" ”

"The place here is so big, the whole city is full of people, naturally there is no way to farm, of course, there are also people who grow some vegetables and fruits, but they are all planted by themselves, not on a large scale. There are two sources of food here, one is to plunder the land world, and that is the shipwreck.

Another is to sow seeds by themselves, and here I have to say that the water people do have something special, they will sow crops in the ocean, and they don't have to worry about anything, just harvest when the time comes.

The crops sown are no different from those on land, and even better.

You see I'm a lot stronger. ”

The big fritter seller said, raising his arms to show me his muscles.

When I saw it, the biceps muscles were swollen like a bun.

"By the way, big brother, have you seen anyone else coming in lately, twenty days ago, and ten days ago." I finally asked what I wanted to know most.

It turned out to be an unexpected answer: "No!" ”

"No?" I can't accept it.

"Don't worry, this underwater world has sixteen city gates, and we are only one of them, are you here to find someone?" The big brother who sells fritters suddenly came to his senses and asked.

I didn't want to admit it, but the eldest brother is so enthusiastic, there is no need to lie to others, and there is nothing to hide about this matter.

So I admitted it, nodded and said, "Yes, several of my friends have accidentally disappeared around here, and I came to find them!" ”

"Then you must have seen a mirage?" Brother Churro, suddenly asked a question that shocked me, he couldn't get out under the water, how did he know about the mirage.

"Yes!" I didn't deny it, I just admitted it.

"It's so hateful!" Brother fritter slapped and scolded.

"What's wrong?" I was puzzled.

"This is the trap of those fish people, when they are short of people, they will release the illusion of a mirage, attracting the attention of the people around them, many people will come close to check when they see it, but anyone who approaches will be caught, and many people will be caught in this way." Brother Churro obviously doesn't have any good feelings about these people who caught themselves in the water.

It's also said that although people's lives were a little harder before, they were always able to be with their families, and after they were caught here, everything was gone.

"Hateful indeed!" I scolded and asked, "Is there a way to inquire about the whereabouts of my friends?" ”

"Yes! Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and there has always been a secret organization here, they have rebelled against the rule of the fishmen, and they have been operating in the shadows, gathering members, and among the members, the more new they are, the more willing they are to join. So they have agents at each gate, and once a new person comes, they will find a way to get closer, and if you want to find someone, you just need to find them! The big brother who sells fritters said.

I looked the big brother who sold fritters up and down, and said in a joking tone: "Big brother, you can't be a secret agent, right?" ”

I do think that the eldest brother is a secret agent, because after I came, he was the most enthusiastic and took the initiative to talk to me, obviously trying to win over.

As a result, the eldest brother's answer surprised me: "No, look over there, the one who sells steamed buns is the one who keeps looking here?" They're not a good thing either, they want to overthrow the rule of the fishmen, not to return to the land world, but to be the boss of the place themselves.

Fish-people have mastered a lot of things that we didn't expect, such as things that can isolate water, such as crops that can be sown on the ocean floor.

They oppose the rule of the fishmen, they just want to rule themselves, so I suggest that if you don't have anything to do with them, don't have anything to do with them.

With the help of the idea that the newcomers have just arrived and desperately want to return, they not only fool you into taking the supplies you have brought, but also fool you into doing something very risky. ”

Brother Churro reminded me again and again, I am very grateful, but in order to find Wang Sheng them, I

I had to get out of it.

At this time, I happened to finish my soy milk fritters, so I was ready to check out: "How much is my big brother?" ”

The eldest brother smiled: "Originally, it was three shell coins, but obviously, if you don't, I should make you a friend for free, I invited you." ”

"How can it be done, there is no shellfish, I will give you something!" As I spoke, I took out a few boxes of canned food from my backpack and handed them to Brother Churros.

Brother Churros' face bloomed with a smile, and he took it away with a smile, and said again and again: "How embarrassing that is!" ”

Looking at the smile of the big brother of the fritters, as well as the speed of collecting things, I finally understood, this enthusiastic big brother, from the beginning of the set for me, whether it is to take the initiative to say hello, invite me to eat, or say that I want to be exempted, it is all a routine, this is a canned food in my hand to prepare a routine.

"Hey, hey!" The eldest brother didn't feel embarrassed, but said very realistically: "I've been here for three or four years, I can't go back, and I can't stay alone. ”

I was speechless and speechless, but I didn't feel angry, but felt that my eldest brother was telling the truth, very realistic.

also took out two more boxes of canned food, handed them to the eldest brother and said: "This is my part, I wish the eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible and spread the branches." ”

"Thank you! Thank you very much! "The eldest brother thanked me again and again, and when he left, he had to wrap me with a few fritters.

This fritter tastes really good, so I'm not polite, and while holding it, I walked towards the stall selling steamed buns, intentionally or unintentionally.

I casually nibbled on the fritters, quietly observing the bun seller, the bun seller, who was not fast in his hands, busy all the time, and talking, but I could clearly see that he was also looking at me with his spare eyes.

When I came to the steamed bun stall, I said, "How do you sell steamed buns?" ”

"Two shells for meat, one shellfish for vegetables!" The skillful man who sells steamed buns answers.

"Yo! The first time you see the food, it's more expensive than the meat! I said deliberately.

"You're new here, aren't you? It's not easy to get the food here, so it's expensive, so you need a few! "The bun seller is not eager, but unhurried.

"I don't have shellfish, how about I exchange it for canned food?" I said and pulled out a box of canned braised pork.

To be honest, I'm speechless, there are a lot of canned meat in the food prepared by Li Jiaguo, this thing is dead and heavy, and it's tiring to carry on your back.

The seller of steamed buns took the can and looked at it, and then said: "Your canned food is not cheap, and it is a rare commodity here, you can buy me dozens of steamed buns with this can." ”

When I heard this, I was speechless, and I couldn't help but look at the big brother who sold fritters.

"Damn! There are a lot of cheats! I muttered to myself.

"Did he tell you that he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, and he had no money?" The steamed bun seller suddenly asked.

I nodded and said, "Yes!" I also came with two cans! ”

The steamed bun seller sneered and said, "He said this last year, and he said so the year before last." ”

"Groove!" I finally knew, I was fooled.

But I inquired about a lot of things, just a few cans, so I wouldn't go back to him.
