Chapter 3: Mountains in the Mountains: XIII. Strange Fish
Before dusk, we arrived at the two legendary lakes.
The lake is at the foot of the Gongbrazan Snow Mountain, we look at the time, no matter how the day can not climb the snow mountain, so we decided to spend the night by the lake, and then turn the snow mountain tomorrow morning.
Everyone found a suitable place and set up tents around the lake. These two lakes have no name and are not large in size. But it's really bizarre. The lake in front of it is a glacial lake. Under the summer sky, there is still a piece of crystal ice on the surface of the lake, and the reflection of the sun is dazzling. The water of this lake is a brilliant blue, the surface of the lake is as smooth as a mirror, and it looks a little strange blue in the sun. In this lake, you can see a kind of fish that, at first glance, seems to be no different from ordinary fish, but on closer inspection, this normal-looking fish has no scales. The fish swim unusually slowly in the water, like an old man strolling leisurely. When they find the arrival of man, they are not at all afraid, and they remain as if nothing had happened.
Ah Mei was the first to spot these fish, and she thought it was strange, so she beckoned everyone to come and see them. The others were busy dealing with the tents, and Lao Pao and I were old travel friends, and we moved relatively fast, and we set it up after dividing five by two. Hearing Ah Mei's greeting, we ran over.
Ah Mei squatted by the lake, watching a few fish slowly swimming under her feet, and when she saw me and Lao Pao passing, she said excitedly, "Look, these fish are so cute!" ”
As soon as the old cannon saw these fish, he smiled and said, "It seems that there is a good fortune in the evening." It's a pity that I didn't bring a fishing rod, so I had to think of a few ruts to bake them. ”
I said, "Fish grown in such an environment must be delicious." ”
Ah Mei glanced at me and Lao Pao with dissatisfaction, and said, "You guys are burning the qin and cooking cranes!" ”
Lao Cannon didn't pay attention to Ah Mei's attitude, he saw that the fish under his feet were swimming very slowly, so he tentatively stretched out his hand slowly. The fish in the water did not seem to sense the danger approaching, and still swam leisurely. The old cannon's hand reached closer and closer to the water, and he suddenly strained his palm, and quickly grabbed one of the fish. Seeing that the old cannon's fingers had already grasped the body of the fish, he suddenly grunted and plunged into the water. Fortunately, the water near the lake was shallow, and the old cannon immediately stood up from the water. Lao Pao was soaking wet, he reached out to wipe the water on his face, and said, "Damn, these ghost fish, there is electricity on their bodies, and they have electrocuted me." ”
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the old cannon, Ah Mei clapped her hands and laughed.
I said, "Baby, a little sympathy, okay?!" ”
Ah Mei smiled and said, "The one who counts the person is counted, and this person deserves it." ”
Lao Cannon came out of the lake wet and said, "Now, I finally understand what it means to base one's own happiness on the pain of others. ”
When they heard that there were strange fish in the lake, and the fish were electrified, the people of the investigation team gathered around and looked curiously at the fish swimming unhurriedly in the lake. Old Ash picked up a stone and threw it at a nearby fish. The stone did not hit the fish, but it made a loud noise, stirring up a small column of water. The fish by the lake were finally frightened, and with a swish, they shot like arrows into the middle of the lake. Soon, the surface of the lake returned to its mirror-like smoothness, but the fish never appeared again.
It soon became dark, the temperature dropped suddenly, and most of the people in the expedition team were not prepared for this situation, only a long-sleeved jacket. One by one, the turtles were frozen and shrank into the tent. Although they were reminded before, most of them relied on their youth and strength to take it seriously. Only Ruoyu brought a down jacket, and Ah Mei and Professor Luo brought a thick sweater and a thick jacket.
The night in the mountains was surprisingly cold, and everyone had nothing to do, so they got into their sleeping bags early one by one. Lao Pao and Li Lili and I were huddled in a three-person tent, and we all felt very tired after a day of hiking, and soon we all fell asleep.
In the haze, I felt like I saw a lake, a clear and clear lake. In the reflection of the lake, I saw myself dressed in a strange outfit with a blurry mass sitting on my shoulder. My eyes widened, trying to see what was sitting on my shoulder. But suddenly the lake rippled, and everything was distorted and abstracted.
I saw a group of people standing beside me, dressed in the same strange clothes as I did, but I clearly recognized them as my fellow travelers, who had traveled together through the land of death, Lop Nur.
The fellow travelers were smiling at me. Standing in the first is Wen Yiming, Wen Yiming graduated from the university with a major in business management, he is good at listening to the opinions of others, has a strong team spirit, has an opinion, and has a view of the overall situation. Behind Wen Yiming is Ruoyun. Ruoyun graduated from the Chinese Department of the university, she is smart, discerning, affinity, good at communication, and good at dealing with various characters. Behind Ruoyun is the Wenjing mirror. Wen Jingjing is a graduate student in the Department of History, and is familiar with various events and important figures in Chinese history. He is approachable and relatable, and he is serious and cautious. Behind the Wenjing mirror is Bi tenon. Bi Qian is a veteran, he is thoughtful, good at fighting, resolute and generous, and loves to play humor. Behind Bi Jiu is Hao Yunfei. Hao Yunfei was born in a martial arts family, graduated from the Institute of Physical Education, and has entered the top three in a variety of domestic free fighting competitions. Behind Hao Yunfei is Liu Yanan, who calls herself a goblin, with a generous, cute, funny, good joke, and good at causing trouble, and is a happy additive among travelers. Behind Liu Yanan is Zhang Zhang. Known as the Sixteenth Sister. Zhang Zhang is a student majoring in music and dance at the Conservatory of Music, proficient in various dances and familiar with a variety of musical instruments. But the faces of several people behind Zhang Zhang were invisible. Standing on the other side of me was a young girl, and I could feel the softness of her hand-out, and I could even feel her leisurely breathing, and I could feel the temperature of her breathing, but I couldn't see her face. When I reached out to grab her, she disappeared from my hand like a wisp of smoke.
At this time, I heard a singing. Like a delicate call, like a distant mother calling out for a child who has forgotten her way home, pulling my thoughts, curling in my heart, and waving a wave of shadows. I could even hear the singer's slight breathing, the undulation of the singer's veil, the fluttering of the singer's skirt, and the gentle footsteps of the singer tapping on the ground, step by step towards me......
At this moment, I felt a strong shaking of me, and I opened my eyes suddenly. I saw Li Lili say in a slightly trembling voice, "Someone is singing......"
