91. The Seal of Memory
Seeing that Qi Jue hung up the phone, Hao Dong dared to speak: "Little Qi Ye, what sign do you see?" ”
Hearing his question, Qi Jue turned his gaze, stared at him with dark eyes for a while, and then spoke: "I'll draw it for you." ”
Of course, there is no pen and paper here, but fortunately, their mobile phones are powerful, so it is easy to draw a picture or something. Xiao Qi Ye has an excellent memory, and his pen is also very accurate, and soon a pattern like a family logo appeared on the mobile phone screen.
Hao Dong felt familiar.
The expression on his face obviously fully expressed this, and Qi Jue couldn't help but ask him, "Did you remember something?" ”
No.
Hao Dong carefully searched in his memories and found nothing.
But if you want to say that you haven't seen it, it shouldn't be. Because the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the mark gave him a very familiar feeling, and maybe even more than just familiarity.
This mark made him feel inexplicably intimate. It's like something that has been with him since he was a child, something completely harmless, or even something that will give him a sense of security.
It's so weird, it's just a graphic, why do you give yourself that feeling?
If it was something, it might be related to the Ru family, and I had been in contact with it in the past. But a pattern, even if it has been touched, what pattern will make people feel intimate when they see it directly?
This is not a picture of Mom and Dad!
Speaking of which, I can't even remember what my parents looked like.
Hao Dong didn't know why, his thoughts suddenly turned to his relatives.
Because I knew that I had completely lost my memory before, I hadn't been entangled in this kind of thing. But at this moment, seeing this marking pattern, his heart became a little anxious.
He felt that he should be able to remember his parents, or, if not his father, at least his mother.
He didn't know why he felt this way, it was like sometimes, when he stared at a pattern, he felt as if he could see the appearance of an animal or a human face in that pattern, and now when he looked at the pattern, he felt that he should be able to think of his mother.
The vague dream that came to mind before, and the foggy white gradually filled his eyes, and Hao Dong subconsciously covered his eyes.
However, such actions did not stop the spread of the fog, and the feeling that something wanted to break out of the shell became more and more obvious. But he knew that it wasn't his memory, it was something else, very important.
“…… East? Hao Dong? ”
Hao Dong opened his eyes again, and saw that Xiao Qi Ye was really anxiously calling for himself. He slapped Hao Dong's cheek, with a posture of "If you don't wake up again, I'm going to splash you with cold water".
Seeing that his eyes finally opened, Qi Jue reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief: "Did you remember something?" ”
Hao Dong was inexplicably a little weak-hearted: "No, I'm sorry ......"
The corners of Qi Jue's mouth were slightly upturned by his shrunken appearance: "Why do you want to tell me I'm sorry?" Don't worry if you can't remember, this pattern should be meaningful to you, take your time. ”
This is true, Hao Dong also feels that the pattern is like some kind of key to him, which will affect something in the depths of his memory.
It's a pity that for the self who has completely forgotten the past, this kind of pull is not strong enough for the time being to make him completely remember all the things that should be remembered.
He struggled to sit up, and passed the logo pattern drawn on Qi Jue's mobile phone to his phone, planning to take his time and try again after a while to see if he could remind himself of something.
Tossing until this moment, Hao Dong remembered that he was dealing with fish just now! It was their lunch!
Fortunately, he just put the fish down while talking, and nothing like that happened when he casually threw it near the water's edge and was washed away.
Although he was dizzy for a while, he woke up and found that there was nothing wrong with his body, Hao Dong was very conscious, and immediately went over to continue the halfway thing.
The island in the middle of the lake is small, there is nothing bare on it, and there are no natural resources other than water that can be used naturally.
When they fall, it's an accident, and they don't carry much with them.
Qi Jue's there are basically exploration props; Hao Dong had even less on him, in addition to some potions and band-aids that Ergou gave him for emergency treatment of wounds, there were also some regular expedition gadgets.
These things are not very helpful for making fish, because they can't be used for seasoning.
Hao Dong finally took out half a bag of salt noodles from his pants pocket, which he didn't use when he roasted a leg of mutton before, and gave him a trouser pocket.
It's a pity that there is no waterproof plastic bag on the outside of this half bag of salt noodles, and the inside is completely damp and has melted a lot. The rest is a little bit at the bottom of the trouser pocket, and it is clumped, a small lump.
Anyway, this is better than nothing, Hao Dong simply put a little water in the belly of the cleaned fish, dissolved all the salt noodles into it, and then directly put the fish rack on the fire to burn.
There is no way, the fuel they are using now is too special, and the fire is to keep it in the state of a small fire, and the strength is really not enough. It is also a pity that there do not seem to be any aggressive large animals that can come ashore underground, otherwise this small fire would definitely not have any protective effect.
Thinking of the aggressive large animal, Hao Dong remembered the thing that seemed to be a fish that he ran with in the water before. But he didn't feel like any ordinary fish, because it was so big, and there shouldn't be any whales here.
Hao Dong pondered for a while, but he couldn't help but ask: "Little Qi Ye, did you see clearly what was running away with me in the water before?" ”
At that time, he vaguely remembered that Xiao Qiye's left eye was a little red, so it meant that he should be in a state of being stimulated, maybe he could really see something.
Because whether it was in the water at that time, or now in the underground lake, it is not like the time when the ice was closed in Nandu, and there is no light around it at all if there is no lighting.
Hao Dong's question made Qi Jue's expression a little serious: "I'm not sure." ”
Even with his eyesight, he could only see a rough outline at the time, because the thing was very close to the water for a while. Later, when I sank a little, I couldn't see it at all.
Judging from the silhouette he saw, Qi Jue felt a little incredible: "I think it's like a giant." ”
"Huh?"
Hao Dong was very surprised by this answer, he was splashing in the water, only knowing that as far as his hand could see, there were slippery and sticky hard flakes, very much like huge scales. So he always thought that it should be a big fish or something.
Something like a giant sounds so unscientific!
Obviously, Qi Jue's thoughts were similar to his, so his brows were furrowed very tightly: "I may have read it wrong, it was too dark at the time." I just feel like seeing it has limbs. ”
The limbs were still very much like human limbs, but they were more than twice as large.
He didn't see the situation clearly at first, but when the thing carried Hao Dong to the center of the lake, he could vaguely see that Hao Dong was thrown on his back by it at that time, as if he was carrying a pocket.
Hao Dong was a little furious by Qi Jue's description, and subconsciously looked around. It was still dark and rumbling, and even if there was a fire on the island, the visible area was not large enough, and the surrounding water was not very wide.
Hao Dong subconsciously shuddered: "That thing, won't it also follow us?" ”
Qi Jue carefully recalled the scene of going into the water just now, and comforted Hao Dong: "Don't worry, there is nothing dangerous in the waterway you go out." ”
As a result, Hao Dong just breathed a sigh of relief, and he added very conscientiously: "But I haven't checked all of this place, and I don't know where else." ”
Seeing that Hao Dong's face turned pale again, he continued to add: "With me here, don't worry." ”
Although the current atmosphere is a bit eerie and terrifying, Hao Dong feels that if the opposite person is not Xiao Qi Ye, who is naturally very aura and deterrent, but Ergou, he must have jumped up and beaten the other party violently at this time. Talking and panting like this, what about the intention?!
It's a pity that Xiao Qi Ye was at a loss for this, he looked at the fire: "Isn't the fish almost good?" ”
Both fish have no scales, their bodies are white, and their eye sockets are partially sunken, which is a specialty of this underground lake. So, it tastes pretty good.
The meat is delicate, with a little sweetness, and the fishy smell is not heavy. If there is a fly in the ointment, it is that there is not enough salt to bring out all the umami.
And the part of the fish near the middle vertebrae still doesn't seem to be fully cooked. The flesh of the fish that is not completely curdled is like a milky gelatin, flowing near the vertebrae.
Hao Dong bit here, and he couldn't eat it a little, because he wasn't sure if he would be infected with any germs after eating, so he could only continue to put it in the fire and burn it again.
Qi Jue's body is much better than ordinary people, and there are basically no such concerns. In one breath, only the big bone was gnawed, and he rubbed his stomach: "I'll grab some more." ”
It seems that he has not eaten enough.
But as soon as he stood up, the mobile phone rang again, and Ergou was angry on the phone: "Zhao Zheng, that madman!" He's going to deliver something to you himself! ”
The first time, Qi Jue and Hao Dong, neither of them understood.
Ergou didn't react when he heard the other side, "Hey" twice, and got a reply that Qi Jue was still there, this time it was relatively clear: "After he fucking heard about the boat you said, he decided to go down and have a look himself!" ”
So it happened that Qi Jue asked Ergou to help prepare things, and Zhao Zheng planned to go into the water with that batch of supplies to see if he could also come to them to have a look.
The second dog is still angry: "He's a madman!" Lunatic! For his little credit, his life doesn't matter! ”
Although Hao Dong and they were lucky to be swept to the center of the lake, it didn't mean that others would be able to repeat their previous experience.
It's just a matter of not being able to find the passage they passed, and if they find the wrong one and are washed away somewhere, they may be completely killed.
Although Ergou also likes to find excitement, he will look for stimulation under the premise of safety. Injuries, even serious injuries, it's acceptable, but it's too much to play with.
Now that I heard that Zhao Zheng was going to come like this, it would be okay if it was okay, if something happened, could it be that their entire expedition team would have to compensate him?!
The queen also disagreed with this, and the two officers who led the team in his own unit even disagreed, but Zhao Zheng insisted on going his own way.
This man was strong, no one could stop him, even if everyone objected, he had already changed into a diving suit, and even made a life and death situation, so he planned to wait for the things that Qi Jue wanted to arrive, and he went into the water with the material package.
