Chapter 9: The Four-Colored Fish
When Kirton got home, the Pekingese dog he had bought the week earlier ran over with his tail wagging and whirling back and forth at Kirton's feet, making his legs tickle. 【Immortal World. This Pekingese dog was carefully selected by Kirton's father from hundreds of dogs in the pet market, and it was his clever energy that he was interested in at the time. Now it seems that I made the right choice - I have become acquainted with every owner of the house in just a week. Usually not "messy" barking, and love to stick to people to spread joy, especially likeable. Kirton will give it the name "Pekingba" for its kind.
After Cotton changed his shoes, he patted the puppy on the head and walked towards the kitchen, where he found that his mother was off work and was cooking in the kitchen. Kirton called out, "Mom, I'm back." ”
My mother answered and said, "There's watermelon in the refrigerator, go get it and eat it." ”
Corton happened to be thirsty, opened the refrigerator door, took out a few pieces of watermelon cut inside, and sat down on the sofa in the living room to eat. Watermelon is cool and sweet, with plenty of moisture, which quenches thirst and cools off, and Corton eats it very much.
Mom came out of the kitchen while choosing the dishes and said, "Kirton, tonight, your father and I are not at home, so you can stay at home and don't go out at night." ”
Kirton munched on the watermelon and asked vaguely, "What are you two going out for?" ”
"Your dad is on night duty at the hospital, and I-a few colleagues ask me to play cards for a while......"
Kirton waved his hand briskly, "Okay, I'll look after the house alone." ”
Mom smiled, turned to the kitchen and went back to cooking. Kirton grabbed the remote control on the coffee table and pressed the TV on.
After dinner, before my mother finished putting away the bowl, she received a call urging her to hurry up, and Kirton knew that her mother only had the biggest hobby of playing cards, so she took the initiative to say: "Mom, you go, I'll wash the dishes." ”
"Ah, really?" The mother was overjoyed and felt that her son had really grown up and sensible. She took off the apron around her waist and said happily, "Then I'll go, son, Mom will invite you to eat Western food another day." ”
Kirton smiled, thinking that it would feel good to be considerate of his parents once in a while.
Before leaving, my mother told me again: "Remember to play at home, don't run out again for a while." ”
"Got it."
Mom hurried to the game. After finishing the dishes at home alone, Kirton sat down to watch the TV for a while, and thought the TV was boring, so he turned off the TV. The little Pekingese kept spinning at Kirton's feet, looking at his master expectantly, barking a few times from time to time, and it was clear that he wanted his master to take him out for a walk. In fact, Kirton also wanted to go to the basketball gym to play ball for a while - he had a massage for the past two days, and his muscles and bones didn't move much, he wanted to exercise for a long time, and he sweated profusely, but he had no choice but to promise his mother just now, and it was not good to regret it immediately. He sighed, touched the puppy's body and said, "Forget it, Jingba, let's play at home tonight." ”
The dog seemed to understand the words and barked in disappointment.
Kirton walked to his room, turned on his computer, and played an online game. But in less than half an hour, he felt that he was not in good spirits and absent-minded, and he did not have the feeling of dedication and excitement when playing games before, and he was not in a state at all. Kirton closed the game and sat at his computer desk in a daze, only to realize a problem that caused him to open his mouth slightly.
- He noticed that it had been like this since yesterday's massage - as soon as he sat down, or was still, his mind would involuntarily think of the "tale of the fisherman and the devil" that he had heard during the massage, and he could hardly concentrate on thinking or doing anything. And obviously, this feeling is much stronger today than it was yesterday.
Kirton's eyebrows slowly twisted together—he began to think something was out of order.
Yes, the story is fascinating, but it's not so addictive that it doesn't become like this. In the end, it's just a fictional myth, how can it be so memorable? Now, Kirton felt a little out of control of his thoughts, and whether he wanted it or not, the scenes described in the story would play out in his brain like a movie screen.
As he pondered it, Kirton felt more and more incredible, and he realized that the reason why he was so concerned, and even "obsessed" with the story, was because he seemed to be one of the people in the story—something he had personally experienced, and that's why he was so eager to find out how it turned out and solve all the mysteries—but where did this sense of reality come from? He had never heard other stories before, or watched any books or movies, and he had never felt so real.
Thinking of this, Kirton's mind entered the bizarre world again—strange mountains, lakes, four-colored fish, and palaces, what secrets are hidden in them......
After a few minutes, he came back to his senses from the dream world and shook his head vigorously, trying to drive away the reverie and thoughts that had indulged him. Kirton got up from his chair and planned to go to the bathroom to take a shower and clear his mind.
He walked out of his room and into the living room, and was about to walk through it into the bathroom, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the corner of the living room—the little Pekingese dog was lying upright on the side of the fish tank next to the TV cabinet, stretching out a paw to catch the fish in the water. Kirton couldn't help but laugh dumbly, walked over and picked up the puppy, and said, "Jingba, you're a dog, not a cat, what are you going to catch fish for—besides, it's for raising, and you can't eat it!" ”
After being picked up, the Pekingese dog still barked at the ornamental fish in the transparent fish tank. Strange as Cotton, he looked in the direction it was calling—and was stunned when his eyes touched the fish in the tank.
In the glass fish tank, there are white, red, blue, and yellow fish, just one color!
Kirton felt a chill run down his spine, and his eyes almost burst out of their sockets. He stood in a daze for more than ten seconds, judging whether he was blind. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at them again - yes! There are indeed four fish of different colors swimming in the fish tank, and those four colors are exactly the same as in the story!
Kirton took two steps back, a feeling of horror spreading through his body. Suddenly, he remembered the two children who had come home the previous afternoon and had asked him to help him with the water—Kirton's mouth opened wide in astonishment—and the first day he had heard the story of a fisherman who had fished a gall bottle out of the sea; The next day, I listened to the mysterious four-colored fish......
For two days in a row, the plot of the story was recreated in a similar form after he returned home!
Suddenly, Kirton remembered the story he had heard today, in which the king had ordered his guards to cast a net in the lake, only to have dozens of corpses fished up......
He suddenly had a terrifying thought of "hairy" -
Could it be that this plot will also play out in reality?
