Chapter 52 Carp

Carp is commonly known as carp abduction, hairy child, etc., and belongs to the carp family. The body is flattened on the sides and the abdomen is round, the mouth is horseshoe-shaped, and the beard is 2 pairs. The dorsal fin is long at the base, and both the dorsal and anal fins have a stout serrated spine. The body sides are golden yellow, and the lower leaves of the caudal fin are orange-red. Carp usually inhabit the bottom of water bodies with aquatic weeds in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds and marshes, and mainly feed on benthic animals.

It is adaptable, cold-resistant, alkali-resistant, and hypoxic resistant. It can lay eggs in flowing water or still water, and the spawning place is mostly in aquatic grasses, and the eggs adhere to aquatic plants to develop. Common carp is the most abundant and widely distributed freshwater fish. A thick greenish-brown fish in the family Idae, whose scientific name is us carpio. Originated in Asia, it was later introduced to Europe, North America and other regions. It is large, with two whiskers on each side of the palate, and lives alone or in small groups in ponds, lakes, and rivers with calm, overgrown muddy bottoms. Omnivorous, digging for food often muddies the water, increasing turbidity, and has adverse effects on many animals and plants. For this reason, carp is often considered undesirable in Europe and the United States, and it takes a lot of effort for Europeans and Americans to get rid of it.

In winter, the carp hibernate and lie at the bottom of the river, not eating anything. Spawning in spring, females often lay a large number of eggs on plants or debris in shallow water, and the fertilized eggs hatch after 3~4 days. Carp grow quickly and reach sexual maturity in about the third year.

Faust knew that there must be more than one carp in it, and swallowed violently.

My mind went blank and I was a little overwhelmed.

He looked at the bright flashlight in his hand and suddenly realized something, maybe the fish was attracted by the light in the flashlight, and its target was not itself.

In the past, he liked to fish overnight, and he naturally knew that fish would feel "curious" when they saw light in the water, and they would have an exploratory conditioned reflex and tend to the light source. The instinct of the fish tends to its right light.

The irradiation of light causes the fish's photoreceptors to obtain light energy, and its optochrome undergoes a actinic reaction and swims towards or away from the light source.

There are various hypotheses in response to light stimuli in fish, such as curiosity, appropriate illumination, bait clustering, conditioning, forced movement, confusion and instinct. The phototaxis process of fish can be roughly divided into two stages: the first stage is that the fish swims close to the light source after being stimulated by light; The second stage is when the fish is stranded in the light source. However, after a period of time, phototaxis fish will leave the light source due to adaptation to light, fatigue, and changes in the environment. The juveniles of some non-phototaxis adult fish also have phototaxis reactions, such as ayu, eels, etc. For example, the juvenile stage is more obvious than the adult stage, and it is easy to be attracted by light when the intake is small, and some fish such as the saury are weakened in the egg-bearing stage.

Thinking of this, Faust took out a flashlight and shone it into the fish's eyes, and then shot the flashlight at a nearby pillar.

The carp looked at the beam and immediately turned around and swam in the direction of the pillar. Faust grabbed the gap and immediately slipped away, although this thing has gone beyond the range of the fish, but it is still essentially a fish and its habits will not change.

After swimming ashore, Faust collapsed directly on the ground, only to feel that his whole body was weak and his heart was beating rapidly.

He gasped for breath and rested for a moment at the starry sky before returning home, and then spent a week or so in a hotel before returning to London.

It all ended like this, though

There is no loophole in what Faust said, but Wang Feng felt that something was wrong, if it was just like this, then why did Faust hide it from himself? And Tesla was also deliberately unwilling to tell himself the truth at that time, maybe Faust had already prepared a rhetoric to deal with himself.

Wang Feng knew in his heart that he had no way to ask about the current situation, Faust might have been prepared for a long time, if he questioned it, then he would definitely come up with another set of rhetoric to deal with himself, anyway, this kid would never tell the truth, if he wanted to know the truth of the matter, he needed Wang Feng to investigate one by one.

Although Faust didn't have any bad intentions, it was too difficult to get something out of his mouth, which Wang Feng deeply understood.

For Wang Feng, it is best to assume that what Faust said is true, and wait until he has time to investigate it himself.

Faust kept looking at Wang Feng's expression on the side, which also confirmed Wang Feng's guess.

"That's the way it is...... Of course, there was a part of it that I didn't say because I didn't think that part mattered. In order to convince Wang Feng of what he said, Faust quickly coughed and explained.

Wang Feng nodded, and then looked at Ruth: "You send us back!" ”

"Are you going back now?" Ruth looked at Wang Feng and felt a little reluctant, if she could, she wanted to accompany Wang Feng for a while.

Wang Feng smiled slightly: "Lest you have a long night and a lot of dreams...... And there's a lot to do. ”

Ruth didn't say much, and then looked at Faust: "The Void Race won't stay in one place, you don't have to worry......"

Faust first hummed, then took out a newspaper and handed it to Wang Feng: "There was a previous case of murder in the park, and the results have been investigated...... It's almost all done by cultists, and someone helped us settle this matter, and I'm curious about who it is...... Is there anyone who travels through time? ”

"Oops...... I've been lying down for so long and haven't been back, my aunt shouldn't call the police! ”

Wang Feng suddenly remembered this.

"It shouldn't be fine...... I've been keeping an eye on your aunt...... Or as always, I ...... I also saw a person who looked very much like you, and if I'm not mistaken, this person should be helping you. ”

Faust remembered that he had gone to Wang Feng's house before and saw a person who looked exactly like Wang Feng eating with his aunt, otherwise Wang Feng had been missing for so long, and his aunt would have called the police a long time ago.

"Very similar to me? Who the hell is that guy? ”

Wang Feng was a little worried, a person who looked like himself appeared in his home without knowing it, and he definitely had a purpose.

"That person shouldn't be an enemy...... The park case I mentioned earlier, as well as the matter of your neighbor's house, if I guessed correctly, were all solved by him. ”

Faust relieved Wang Feng, because he didn't feel the guy's malice.

Ruth next to her was a little suspicious when she heard the two of them talk about this matter: "That person shouldn't be the future Wang Feng!" He knew that something like this would happen during this time period, so he would come over to replace him. ”

"I don't know ......"

Faust shook his head.

"Alas! Forget it, let's go back to Watertown first and take care of the rest...... Then hurry back to London and get rid of that Moritia guy. ”

Wang Feng sighed, now he really didn't want to delay any longer.

Faust didn't speak, he thought for a moment, and then asked Ruth, "How can I travel through time and space?" ”

It was better for him to teach him to fish than to teach him to fish, and Faust wanted Ruth to tell him how to travel through time.

"First you have to get to level three...... This is the most basic condition, just use your talent to open the space-time tunnel and choose the time point you want to reach. ”

"I've already reached the third level...... Wang Feng looked at the corners of the two of them and smiled slightly: "Then have I met the requirements now?" ”

Ruth nodded, "Yes......"

Faust pondered what Ruth said sounded very easy, but in fact it must have been difficult to death: "What is a time tunnel?" ”

In ancient times, there was a saying that became an immortal: "It has only been a few months in the cave, and it has been a thousand years in the world." "People now think it's nonsense, but it's true in real life."

Wang Feng looked at Faust and then walked and said, "Do you know the story of the Stone Bridge in Rotten Keshan? ”

Seeing Faust shaking his head, Wang Feng hurriedly told the story.

According to legend, in the Jin Dynasty, there was a woodcutter named Wang Qian, who made a living by chopping wood. Once, he went to the mountains to chop wood as usual, but he didn't want to encounter a supernatural thing. On the way up the mountain, the woodcutter meets a pair of people who are playing chess. The chess skills of the two were very exquisite and fascinating, and it happened that Wang Zhen also felt tired at this time, so he stopped and watched the two play chess with high interest. The two chess players were very clear-headed, and the chess game was exquisite, and Wang Zhen gradually became fascinated. Game after game, the two of them kept playing chess, and Wang Zhen was always watching these chess games. Maybe the chess game between the two people was too exciting, and time passed unconsciously. When Wang Zhen reacted, he looked up, and at this time, the two chess players who had not spoken since they started playing chess spoke, and one of them said to Wang Qian: "It's been so long, why don't you go back?"

Wang Zhen saw the sun setting and nodded to the people playing chess, it was indeed very late. So he said goodbye to the two chess players and went home. But at this moment, a strange scene happened. When Wang Shi bent down to pick up his axe, he was surprised to find that his axe had completely rotted.

Wang Zhen felt a little frightened, so he hurried down the mountain and hurried back to the village. It's just that he didn't expect it, and what he saw next surprised him even more. After he returned to the village, everything in the village changed, not only the change of the environment, everyone in the village was a new face that Wang Zhen was not familiar with, Wang Zhen had never seen them, and even Wang Zhen's own home did not know where to go. Wang Zhen hurriedly pulled a villager to ask, and only after this inquiry did he know that a hundred years had passed since he went up the mountain to cut firewood. At first glance, the sun was about to set.

At that time, the woodcutter king may have entered such a "wormhole" by mistake. In just a few games of chess, a hundred years have passed under the mountain, and this is the transformation of different periods. And this wormhole should be the so-called time tunnel. ”
