Verse 33 Phantom in the Mist
Section 33
"Catching the sea is a big thing for the people of Kirishima. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Ah Xiu's voice echoed in Chen Yin's soul sea, and she was introducing this strange island according to Chen Yin's request. Of course, since Chen Yin himself didn't know what was important and what he could not listen to, his request was just a simple "what to think of".
"I heard that outside the sea nest, there is a circle of fog-free places, where there are countless fish, shrimp and sea vegetables. Every 15 days, a high tide will sweep the fish, shrimp and seaweed from there to the island. ”
"After the tide recedes, more seabed will be exposed than usual, at this time is a good time to catch the sea, the next ten days can fill the stomach, largely depends on the harvest of this sea."
"So, your food is mainly seafood?" Chen Yin asked.
"No, all the seafood received here needs to be handed over, and at the end of each rush, the general's soldiers will come to various villages to collect sea vegetables, saying that they want to make seaweed powder. Other fish, shrimp and seafood are sent to the plantation to be used as fertilizer. ”
"Why don't you just eat these fish and shrimp?" Chen Yin was puzzled and pointed to a scavenging crab that had just run past at his feet and asked, "Look at how fat that big crab is, it must be delicious when stewed." ”
"Nope." Ah Xiu shook his head, "This is a scavenging crab, which contains a lot of arsenic in its body, and eating two can kill people." There are also those fish and shrimp, which are contaminated with a lot of arsenic in the body of things that live near the shore, and people will die if they eat it. ”
"Only the fish and shrimp that have been washed over from the sea nest are not poisonous, but who can tell if the land is full of them?"
It is true that there are many fish and shrimp carcasses on the bare seabed, but there is basically no difference from the appearance, and if it is not for the hungry eyes, I believe that no one will risk their lives to fill their stomachs with these things.
“…… Where is the source of the pollution? ”
"I don't know." Ah Xiu sighed, "But people say that the pollution has something to do with the General's underground military factory...... But who knows? I don't believe it anyway - if the General can pollute the whole island, how much steel does he need? How many weapons are produced? If there were so many metals, needless to say anything else, that is, twenty or thirty metal spears were issued in each village, and the Dongren would have been exterminated a long time ago, so how could it be delayed until today? ”
"Indeed." Chen Yin agrees. Although the production of small workshops can also cause pollution, the scale is simply negligible. The self-purification ability of the sea can easily digest the pollution of small workshops.
Only large-scale industrial production will cause large-scale pollution and make nature's powerful self-purification ability useless.
However, although it is only a few hours to get on this island, judging from the level of material scarcity here, the productivity here is far lower than in the era of industrial production, perhaps because of resource problems, after all, this is only an island.
"You just said planting...... Won't using these fish and shrimp as fertilizer pollute crops? Chen Yin thought of a new question.
"Absolutely, but for the wood fungus, the impact is very small...... This way. Ah Xiu pointed in a direction and continued to walk forward.
Chen Yin's feet have actually stepped on the bare seabed, there are more stones here, and the beach is almost gone, so Ah Xiu doesn't have to worry about the footprints left by a few people.
“…… Wood fungus is a unique fungus that we find here, it only grows in places with dense humus, needs a lot of nutrients during growth, and dies once the nutrients are insufficient. But they grow very fast, and with enough fertilizer, they can stretch as tall as small trees......"
"Of course, the older the wood fungus, the less tasty it is, and the wood fungus that looks like a small tree tastes like wood. However, because of the large yield and high energy of this thing, we basically eat the oldest wood mushrooms. ”
"The Black Mill is a place where wood fungus powder is grinded, and small trees like wood fungus go in, and bags of wood fungus powder come out...... Almost all of them live off those things. Under Ah Xiu's calm tone, there was also a sense of helplessness.
"What about the general? He just doesn't want to think of a way? Chen Yin asked strangely.
"He? Hum...... He will only shrink in Fort General, waiting for us to pick up sea vegetables for him to eat. Ah Xiu said disdainfully.
"Can't you secretly leave some seaweed?"
"Of course it will, but every year someone is taken away by the General's soldiers for stealing vegetables, and then it never appears again...... Some people say that they were sent to the mine by the general to work and die, others say that those people were forced to clear the fog monsters, and some even say that these people were simply killed by the general. ”
"True or false, who knows." Ah Xiu doesn't seem to care about this issue.
"What is that fog monster? Is it the mire dragon that Abin said before? ”
“…… Almost. A hint of fear appeared on Ah Xiu's face, "Those things...... No one knows where they come from, and when it's foggy, they ......"
"Wait! Fog? The fog hasn't cleared yet, has it? Chen Yin interrupted.
"Of course not now, it's fog...... By the way, you haven't experienced it yet. "The fog refers to the 15th of every month, and the fog here will suddenly become very thick, and in some places there will even be a situation where you can't see your fingers. ”
"Then the monsters will come out and devour everything they can find...... Then after the fog clears, most of the monsters will disappear, leaving only a few scattered. If you are brave enough to hunt them...... It is said that the meat of the fog monster is delicious......"
Ah Xiu said that when he ate, his eyes bloomed with a strange look.
“…… Oh, yes. "Chen Yin is not interested in eating monsters in the slightest.
While talking, the group came to the end of this beach - the cliff.
"That's it." Abin pointed to the cliff and said, by the way, he threw down the beard he was carrying.
For a long time, Chen Yin didn't hear the sound of the corpse falling to the ground or entering the water.
Chen Yin walked to the cliff and looked down.
Beneath the knife-like cliff is a tumbling sea of fog, and if you put an uninformed person here, you might think that the white under the cliff is a sea of clouds.
Chen Yin casually threw a corpse down, and the little goo with a blue glow on his mouth rolled freely in the sky, and then plunged into the sea of clouds and disappeared.
"How deep is this?" Chen Yin couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, no one knows." Ah Xiu shook his head, "I heard that someone has gone down before, but the rope is always cut inexplicably, and the break is smooth as if it was cut by a knife, but overall it is very irregular......"
The rope is cut?
The fracture is so smooth that it looks like a knife cut?
And the fracture is very irregular?
"So not a single living person has ever returned?" Chen Yin frowned.
"Well, at least I haven't heard of it."
"Let's see, if it's something like this." Chen Yin silently took out a section of anchor cable. This anchor cable was inadvertently put away by him before, but he didn't expect it to be used here.
"What a sturdy rope...... Hey? This fracture!? Ah Xiu was stunned, "It seems to be like this!" You ......"
"It's an anchor cable." Chen Yin briefly talked about the situation at that time.
“…… However, it's empty underneath, and you're talking about ...... in the sea," Ah Xiu found incomprehensible.
"Who knows." Chen Yin put away the anchor chain and threw the remaining three corpses off the cliff one by one.
One last glance at the "trench" that was not only as deep as it was, then he turned his head and asked, "Where do you think there is a chance to find my companion?" ”
The next one will be repaired, 1600, about 1 hour.
Less steel? How many weapons are produced? If there were so many metals, needless to say anything else, that is, twenty or thirty metal spears were issued in each village, and the Dongren would have been exterminated a long time ago, so how could it be delayed until today? ”
