Chapter 8: Strange
The only needle eased up, and when she looked back, what she had just opened was an unknown creature that looked like a fish, not a fish, but a beast and not a beast.
The creature is dark all over, with fine fish scales, and there are undulating gills next to the cheeks, but there is no fish's characteristic fishtail fins, and the soles of its feet are like ducks with flippers, and its body is not large, only the size of an adult cat.
"Hmm~" When the only needle was still staring at the unknown creature in confusion, a small, panda-like cry came from the side.
On the sparkling surface of the stream in the moonlight, a small goldfish swam in mid-air, flicked its tail, and stopped half a meter away from her, looking at it.
"A flying fish, very good, very powerful." The only needle nodded, and the world once again refreshed its cognition, as for why the fish is called like a panda, it is right to think that it is selling cuteness.
"Uh-huh~" The little goldfish flicked its tail, swam to the creature that looked like a fish and a non-fish, spun around twice, and barked twice towards the single needle.
"......" The only needle blinked his eyes, looked at the little goldfish, and then looked at the little monster on the ground, puzzled.
……
On a quiet night, the stream murmurs in the moonlight, and the endless cries of unknown insects bring a bit of vividness to this quiet night.
With the sound of crackling dry wood being burned by the fire, a faint smell of meat wafted in the air, mixed with the sweet smell of unknown grass.
The only needle shrugged his nose as he looked at the roast on the stick, and his stomach cried twice.
The little goldfish also seemed to smell this tempting smell, and flicked its tail around the single needle twice, looking at the barbecue with a big eye, reflecting the fire in its big eyes.
The only needle turned the fish over, waited patiently, and reassured the little goldfish: "You are a goldfish, even if it is a goldfish that can eat meat, you can't eat barbecue." ”
Yes, what is roasting on this fire is the strange creature that looks like a fish and not a fish. The only needle couldn't understand the little goldfish's words, but saw it anxiously circle around the strange creature twice, and stabbed it on the fish and gnawed twice, then she knew that this was something that the little goldfish gave her to eat.
This world is too mysterious, although she has received all the memories of the solo dance, but the solo dance has lived in the solo family since she was a child, and she is still a child, and she doesn't know much about the world, and she doesn't know a lot of things.
For example, the goldfish in front of her that would eat meat and fly in mid-air, and the unknown strange creature in front of her, she didn't have it at all in her memory.
Although she didn't know if she could eat this thing, she was already hungry and had no choice, so she roasted the strange creature with the idea of 'being a full ghost even if she died'.
I didn't expect it to be quite fragrant, and the nice smell of grass she smelled when she woke up came from this strange creature.
There were no other spices at hand, so she just found some dry firewood, and luckily there were flints by the stream to save her from gnawing raw meat.
The little goldfish spun around in a hurry when the fragrance came out of the meat, but it seemed to be afraid of fire and did not dare to approach the fire, so it could only circle around the one needle, and from time to time it made a urging 'uh-huh' sound, and the one needle was quite interesting to watch.
"Can you eat it?" The only needle takes the cooked meat off the fire, holding the roast meat and the little goldfish to look at each other.
"Uh-huh~" The little goldfish flicked his tail around the barbecue, and from time to time he blew on the barbecue, as if he was afraid of being hot.
"Poof!" The only needle smiled, picked up a small piece of barbecue meat with his hand, put it to his mouth, blew it, and put it in front of the little goldfish to tease it.
The pieces of meat are very small, but compared to the small mouths of the little goldfish, which are about the same size as mung beans, there are still many of them. The only needle wanted her to take it away and eat it, but he didn't want the little thing to open its mouth, and before the only needle could react, the piece of meat had already disappeared from its mouth.
"......" Duyi looked at his hands, then at the ground, and finally at the little goldfish shaking his head and tail in mid-air, and had to admit that this girl was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
The only needle who didn't believe in evil pinched a piece of barbecue meat that was bigger than just now, even if she ate it herself, she had to divide a few bites to bite it, but as soon as it was cold, she stretched it out, and in an instant, the meat disappeared from her fingertips again, and the fast only needle was not detectable with the naked eye.
The little one was even happier when he saw her, and he leaned over to her cheek and rubbed it, and swam in mid-air with a swing of his tail.
Duyi smiled, she had seen too many strange things, and she was calm. I pinched a bite and put it in my mouth, the meat is very tender, with a faint fragrance, although there is no seasoning to reconcile the taste, but it is still very delicious, and the aftertaste has an unknown sweetness, which makes people taste fragrant.
From time to time, I fed the little goldfish, and after a while, I ate a lot of barbecued meat, leaving a lot of bones.
The bone was a fishbone, and the limbs of the creature were completely boneless, swinging on the muscles like a snake.
What an amazing creature.
The only needle threw the fish bone into the stream, extinguished the fire, and rested against the stone while watching the little goldfish circle around him. Suddenly, I noticed a burst of warmth coming from my body, slowly radiating from my abdomen to my whole body. It didn't take long, and after the warmth passed, the weakness of the body that was not controlled by itself was swept away.
She checked her pulse, and there was no change in the blocked meridians, but her body had improved significantly due to long-term malnutrition.
She couldn't help but touch her neck, which was still a little stinging, but now it has become much better, and it is estimated that the scars have faded.
"Thank you, little one." Although she didn't know what kind of monster this little goldfish was, it was the first creature to help her in this strange world.
The only needle stretched out her index finger, and the little goldfish touched her fingertips lightly, and then swung around her with her tail, so happy that she couldn't do it. But to the surprise of the only needle, in the next second, the little goldfish was stunned, slid around in mid-air, flicked its tail into the water, made a circle of ripples, and disappeared.
The only needle looked at its disappearing figure with some regret and sighed.
Hopefully there will be a chance to see it again.
