I stayed in the ice lake cave with the second master, and I didn't plan to leave yet, I thought that I would fish like Uncle Zhang, and hesitated to cut my little finger with a knife and squeeze out some blood to make bait. Now in winter, the skin is thickly cut, and the wound is more difficult to bleed.

The second master saw that I hesitated, so he simply took the knife and said, "Okay, master, cut me!" I have a lot of blood. ”

As he spoke, he was about to cut off his fingers, but when Uncle Zhang saw it, he immediately pointed at the two of us loudly and scolded: "Wait, no, you can't catch fish with your blood, only the people in our village can." ”

I wondered, does this fish also recognize people and eat blood, is it so magical! In that case, is it still a fish? It's strange in itself.

Uncle Zhang was also very angry, but when he saw us, he obediently put down the knife, his face softened a little, and said: Red herring is such a species.

In the past 20 years, I have eaten the blood of the people in the village, and I am used to it, and everything has an inertia, so it is not surprising.

What Uncle Zhang said is not strange, it is precisely the strangest, I once learned in a biology textbook that the fish itself is covered with bone scales, breathes with gills, uses domestic fins as locomotor organs, and feeds on the upper and lower jaws, and is a kind of ectothermic aquatic vertebrate.

Most of the fish live in seawater or freshwater, only a few are alien, can live out of the water for a short time, most of them have a body shape suitable for swimming, and fins, breathe with gills, and hunt with the upper jaw, but I have carefully observed the red herring.

The lower jaw of the fish has gills, and the skull of the fish also has gills.

The second master and I grabbed the red herring we had just caught with both hands, this fish has a lot of strength, and its teeth are similar to shark teeth, especially when I pry open the mouth, I found that the tongue is actually blue.

This fish is really strange, it looks like an alien star.

The second master's thoughts, and expressions, are estimated to be with me, he stared at the fish strangely, and whispered: "Luo Ye, this is the same as a monster in a science fiction movie." ”

"I haven't seen this fish in my life."

I whispered, "It's okay, I'll know at night, now don't say anything, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

The second master nodded obediently, then put the fish back into the fish basket with a look of disgust, came to my side, and quietly lit a cigarette and smoked it.

I pushed him, pinched his nose, and reminded, "Smoke, stay away, I don't want to die of lung cancer." ”

The second master smiled, the cigarette in his mouth could only be taken down and extinguished on the ice lake, and it was extinguished at once, and the cigarette butt was on the ground, and it froze in a few clicks.

I was amazed and thought to myself, this freezes so fast. I took off my gloves and touched the ice, thinking that my body was a little warm, and it wouldn't be so cold.

Unexpectedly, I even froze my hands on the ice lake, I shivered with cold, and after the second master saw it, he hurriedly came out for me to pull it out, but he couldn't pull it out, so he called Uncle Zhang in a hurry.

Uncle Zhang came over, saw my hand on the ice, shook his head and sighed a few times: "I just didn't look at it for a while, you see that something happened." ”

As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his pocket, poured it, squatted down and sprayed my hand, I sniffed it, it was alcohol. Soon I let go of my hand and hurriedly put on my gloves to warm my hands.

By the way, I looked down and saw that on the ice surface, the five-finger palm prints of ice sculptures had been formed.

The second master looked at the handprint and exclaimed: My good boy, this is frozen. It's time to hurry.

Uncle Zhang took back the wine bottle and said to me, "Little brother, do you want to eat another bite of fish, it will be good for your hands." ”

I nodded, followed Uncle Zhang to kill fish, he gave me the fattest meat, and the hands that I didn't feel slowly warmed up.

I was amazed at the effect of this fish, which was even more effective than medicine. I told Uncle Zhang about the magic of this fish, and Uncle Zhang was very happy to hear it, just like his grandson was praised by others.

Afterwards, I caught five fish, Uncle Zhang took the hook, and was very happy to pull me away, I cooperated with the walk, while wondering, it is difficult to become a red herring, you can get the favor of the villagers, so it seems to be true, look at the second master and quickly draw conclusions.

When I returned to Uncle Zhang's house, I found that Canghai had changed into a padded jacket, and when I saw me and the second master come back, he gave me a look and asked me to hurry back to the room, so I secretly pulled the second master.

This cargo can't wait to stay away from Uncle Zhang, and when we return to the kang room where we live, the second master complained again and again, and when I went in, I was held down by Canghai, covered my mouth, and punched me in the stomach.

Seeing this, the second master said, "Master Hai, why are you beating him." ”

Canghai hit me on the stomach several times in succession, and said, "Wait a minute, you'll know." ”

After a few punches, I covered my stomach and fell to the ground and vomited.

I started retching, I couldn't spit out anything, and after waiting for a while, I spit out small fish from my mouth, and they were still jumping around, swinging their tails on the ground, and the sea ran over them, and the small fish suddenly turned into meat puree.

When I had finished spitting, Canghai took out a sheepskin bag from his pocket and poured me a mouthful of soup, as if it had been made of garlic.

I feel much warmer in my stomach.

At this time, the second master was beside him and whispered: "Haiye, now, you can tell me!" ”

Canghai wiped his hands and nodded and said, "This kid ate dirty things, at first, it seemed that there was nothing wrong, but after that, he became a part of the snow village." ”

"You didn't see it, that Uncle Zhang was much more enthusiastic about him than he was for you and me."

"Ordinary people eat red herring, just like you, the second child, what you eat is stinky, but this kid eats really sweet, which means that his physique is relatively easy to adapt to the dirty things in the snow village."

The second master nodded hurriedly, suddenly realized, and then, he looked strange and said, "Then fortunately, I vomited out, but dirty things, where is the dirty?" ”

"Could it be that you will be poisoned, and you will become a member of the Snow Village, what's the matter? And Luo Ye eats fish, and actually spits out small fish boys? ”

I also hurriedly echoed these questions, all of which I want to know.

Canghai eased down, threw the sheepskin bag to me, he sat on the kang, poured a cup of hot water and drank a few sips, looked sideways at the window, and then he whispered: "There is a lot of snow in the snow village all year round, and the temperature itself is cold, a few decades ago, it is estimated that this is also the case." Just like you heard Uncle Zhang say, at that time, many people in the village couldn't eat enough, and people often starved to death. ”

"But then it wasn't someone who came, leaving this fish, in fact, this fish is very weird, it only eats blood, and just eats a drop."

"Originally, a drop would do, but after a long time, now it becomes a bucket, a jar."

"It's the same as making offerings."

Saying that, his face was full of doubts, and he didn't seem to be very clear, and continued: "That thing, I only know that it is very evil, but I have never figured it out, what is it? ”

"The reason why Los Angeles will spit out small fish is because the red herring meat, after the stomach, will use gastric juice as a nutrient solution, and the fish bacteria that breed will grow small fish."
