Chapter 282: Salmon
It's really interesting that the city lord, the big fish that the locals don't know, this little plum, actually knows.
"Little Lizi, you know this thing." After my uncle finished speaking, Xiao Lizi nodded.
"Yes, I once saw this fish when I went to Xinjiang, this fish is a carnivorous fish, called the salmon. You can tell by its fangs that it's not a thing to mess with. "Let's put the fish on the ground and look at it. Sure enough, as Xiao Lizi said, a mouth full of fangs, if you are bitten by this thing, it will not be a few taels of meat.
"Not only is this salmon cruel by nature, but it also has a habit of attacking humans, and this fish can grow very large."
"How big?" I asked curiously.
"I've seen fishermen catch fish that are more than four meters tall, but the locals say the fish can grow to be bigger." If I go, grow bigger, won't I become a water monster?
"If you look at the bright red color of this big fish, it means that this is the season when the eggs in their bodies are ripe. When it is time to spawn, they will travel up the river from the lower reaches of the river and return to the upstream dive area of the river to spawn. I think the werewolf must have taken advantage of the migratory nature of the salmon to poison it. ”
Xiao Lizi's words did solve our doubts, but the fish didn't come here with poison in his mouth. This is impossible, if this fish really came up with poison, wouldn't it be drugged to death?
"Uncle, is this water really poisonous, why didn't this fish die in this poisonous water?" When I asked, my uncle was also asked.
"This, this...... I really don't know. "I didn't expect that even my uncle didn't know about it this time.
"But, please go into the water again and see if there is anything else in the river." Several soldiers rowed their boats into the river again, and after some searching, they made some discoveries. This time, the fishing net brought a large bunch of grape-like things, one by one, this, isn't this a fish egg?
After all, it is a big fish, and the fish eggs we usually eat are only the size of a grain of rice, but the eggs of this fish are the size of grapes. Sure enough, the fish is big, and the eggs are also big.
"Come, bring it to me and I'll take a look." My big fish was holding the eggs, and they were so purple-black that I couldn't even tell what the embryos looked like. My big fish suddenly threw the eggs on the ground and threw out a fireball that turned the eggs into foam. As soon as the eggs burned, a puff of black gas escaped from inside.
"Uncle, this black gas is."
"This black gas is the poison we are looking for, to be precise, this can already be regarded as a biological weapon. It seems that this fish should be a poisonous fish specially bred by Our Lady. These fish themselves contain toxins, as do their eggs. When these fish reach maturity, they can be allowed to swim up the river to achieve the effect of poisoning against the current. It's just that now there is just a fish in oil, and the poison is not enough to kill us, if there are a few more, it will be bad. ”
"City Lord, hurry up and send someone to the place where the river goes out of the city to intercept these salmon, and then send some people to search the river for fish that have slipped through the net. It seems that our situation is still very dangerous, and those werewolves have turned into sneak attacks if they can't attack. City Lord, we must complete the construction of the well as soon as possible, otherwise we will probably run out of water. ”
It seems that our situation is indeed very dangerous, and there is plenty of food in the city, but if the water is cut off, people will not survive for more than three days. These werewolves are really bad, and this can be regarded as a draw from the bottom of the kettle. You can talk about these years, and it's so difficult to drink safe water. My uncle and the lord of the city were discussing the matter of digging a well, and Xiao Lizi seemed to have a new opinion.
"Brother Yu, if that werewolf knew that we were digging a well, maybe he would also come and attack our well. I wonder if we need to send more people to protect the well, because if the well is destroyed, we'll be doomed. ”
Xiao Lizi is right, the city lord has not finished making the new antidote pill, how dare we drink those poisonous water now. Even if there is an antidote pill, we can't drink a sip of water and take a pill. That would be tantamount to drinking to quench your thirst.
"Well, little plum, what you said makes a lot of sense. In this way, the water in the city will be immediately checked for poison, and the water that is not poisonous will be preserved and distributed reasonably. We are now facing the dilemma of water cuts, and the digging of wells must be accelerated. ”
"As for the newly dug wells, they should be guarded by three shifts to prevent the enemy from destroying them again. Patrols should be intensified at all points in the city, and sentries should be kept on the city walls at all times. This side of the river beach should search for poisonous fish, and as for the people, they should hide in their houses. Now that the weather is hot, going out less can reduce sweating and prevent dehydration. City Lord, do you think these countermeasures of mine are okay? The city lord nodded.
"Sir, these measures are what I think, and everyone should follow them. Sir, don't go back to rest for a while, come with me to see how the well is doing. "My uncle and the city lord continue to inspect the well construction site, and I, the common man, should go back to sleep, so as not to dehydrate myself."
This man really can't live without water, and I'm thirsty in just an hour. It's a pity that the water hasn't been distributed yet, so where am I going to find water in the middle of the night? When I was swallowing foam alone, a bottle of mineral water was handed over to me, and when I looked back, it turned out to be Xiaoxue.
"Brother, you're thirsty." Xiaoxue looked at me with a smile on her face, no matter what the situation, she was always smiling, what a cheerful girl.
"Xiaoxue, it's good that you still have water here." I took the water and drank half a bottle in one go, which was really refreshing. At this time, I found that Xiaoxue's lips were also a little chapped, and it seemed that she had not had water to drink for a long time.
"Xiaoxue, you can drink some too, if you don't drink it, my brother won't drink water in the future."
"Okay, my brother will drink it too." Xiaoxue took a few sips and screwed the bottle on again. Xiaoxue is really a caring girl.
"Brother, I have a hunch that something will happen in this city." I patted Xiaoxue on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxue, with me, don't be afraid." Xiaoxue looked at me and smiled, and I laughed too.
Whatever happens in this city, it's time for us to go back to sleep. It was in the middle of the night when an explosion suddenly sounded outside, and there was a series of howls. Oh no, something must have happened. I went out in my pajamas and with a short sword.
When I went out, I saw a fire at the well. Xiao Lizi was right this time, the werewolf really came to attack the water source. I quickly dared to go to the accident site and found that my uncle and they had trapped two or three werewolves in the barracks, and there were several werewolf corpses next to them.
But I'm just curious about one thing now, the city is so well guarded, where did these werewolves come from?
