At dinner, Hu Dagui went home.

Lu Changhua excused himself and stayed again.

The fry in the reward pen had not yet been launched, and the growth promoter had not been used, so how could he leave.

After Hu Dagui walked away, he came to the water's edge, and Xiong Bao followed, lying on the water's edge to see the strangeness.

Looking at the golden fish in the reward column, the halo is misty.

He was thrilled that he could finally bring the reward to the real world.

"Use the fry!"

He muttered softly.

Well? No response! The little goldfish still sparkles.

Use fry!

He thought in his heart.

But it still doesn't work.

Lu Changhua's cold sweat broke out.

Broken!

I won't use it myself!

What's the matter?

He became anxious, and every method he could think of was used.

Standing, sitting, lying down, in various positions.

The passwords are also varied, and they almost shouted to open the door with sesame.

Alas, what can be done!

He crouched at the water's edge, and although it was dark, he could still see the dark shadows in the water dimly.

That must have been the fry stocked today.

In despair, he thought about it again, no matter what, anyway, just a thousand fish fry in the system would not make much difference.

I already have more than 60,000 here, which should be enough.

He subconsciously reached out to tease the water, wanting to tease the fish in the water.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as his fingers touched the surface of the water, the golden carp fry, which had not changed at all, jumped suddenly and came to life in the reward column.

Lu Changhua was not surprised.

He withdrew his hand, and the carp fry returned to their original state, shining quietly. He put his hand into the water again, and the little carp came back to life.

It turned out to be touching the water!

He had been in contact with water before, but the fry didn't react much, so why did they react so strongly now?

Could it be that there is a similar kind in the water? Or is it activated only if other conditions are met?

Anyway, the golden carp fry are activated.

Lu Changhua silently recited, "Free-range." ”

Then he saw the little golden fish jump up, turn into a golden light, and swim into the water one after another along his hand.

Lu Changhua really felt that the little lives that were jumping around jumped out of his hands.

He had a strange feeling in his heart, as if these little carps had some strange connection with him.

But this feeling is vague and elusive.

One thousand fry were quickly stocked.

There are only small green bottles left in the reward slot.

At this time, Lu Changhua put his hand directly in the water and silently recited, "Use half a bottle of growth promoter." ”

He knew that a bottle of accelerator could use 100 acres of water surface, but he only had 40 acres, and half a bottle was enough.

As a result, people don't like him at all.

Nothing has changed.

Well? Again?

It looks like it's an improper operation!

So, that bottle?

He hesitated in his heart, and suddenly the green light of the small green bottle flashed violently, and a stream of green liquid came out of his palm.

Soon it was boiling through the water.

Until there was no more green liquid flowing out of his palm, and the number on the small green bottle in the reward column changed to "9", he was sure that a bottle of growth promoter was used.

At this time, the full moon is high, and the hazy visible water surface is shining.

Thinking he was dazzled, he rubbed his eyes, and the entire surface of the water was slowly rising with mist.

He had planned to go home after stocking the fry, but how could he rest assured in such a situation.

He didn't believe that the fog had nothing to do with growth promoters.

In the current weather, it is impossible to naturally generate fog, there must be a reason.

He beckoned Xiong Bao back to the duty room.

I found some pine wood and lit the stove.

Now the stove is not burned for heating, but for dehumidification.

The duty room is too close to the reservoir, and dampness is inevitable.

The flames in the stove licked the bottom of the pot, and a pot of water was bubbling.

"Changhua? Are you there? ”

Mother's voice came from outside the door.

"Mom? I'm here, come in. ”

Lu's mother pushed the door and walked in.

"You don't go home for dinner."

"I just planted the fry today, I don't worry, I'm guarding here."

"I know you're not going back tonight, let's eat."

Lu's mother took out a cloth bag containing five steamed buns.

The aluminum lunch box contained several dishes.

"Mom, have you eaten? Eating together? ”

"I'll eat it, you can eat it."

The mother sat on the edge of the kang and watched her son eat.

Lu Changhua eats on top, and Xiong Bao eats below.

One man and one dog feasted.

Seeing that her son had finished eating, Lu's mother packed up the dishes and put them in a bag.

"Mom, it's dark, slow down. Do you have a flashlight? ”

"What kind of flashlight? Strangely expensive. ”

Lu's mother thinks it's a waste of battery.

"Mom, aren't you rich!"

"Where is the money? Your dad will be out of work soon, and he doesn't need money to open a restaurant? Don't you need money to eat and drink at home? If you don't have a home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! ”

Lu's mother let go of her grumbling and pushed the door away.

"Mom, I'll send you."

"No, I'll go back myself."

Lu's mother picked up a wooden stick by the wall and left.

Lu Changhua put a set of futons in the duty room, and he lay down early.

Xiong Bao was lying on the kang root.

On this day, Lu Changhua was busy enough, and as soon as he lay down, he was sore, and the excessive fatigue made him fall asleep quickly.

He was asleep when someone called out to him.

He woke up suddenly.

Run out of the door and take a look.

The fog had dissipated, and the water was covered with a golden glow.

He walked to the water's edge, and a golden light appeared in the middle of the water.

So without saying a word, he walked into the water.

As soon as he entered the water, he didn't feel afraid, as if he was walking as usual, and just walked in.

He saw it clearly.

Schools of fish swim in the air.

And the place that emitted the golden light turned out to be a school of small golden carp.

He could feel that they were sleeping.

Lu Changhua nodded and walked back satisfied.

He suddenly saw the duty room not far from the shore, pulling shadows in the moonlight.

Well? Why am I here?!

His heart moved, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He was still lying on the kang.

Moonlight spilled in through the window, casting shadows on the ground.

Xiong Bao also lay quietly down and snored.

Everything is so normal.

Did I dream?

Lu Changhua blinked, rubbed his eyes again, and then pulled his shoes and walked to the window.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the plastic sheet outside the window of the duty room has been removed, and you can clearly see the outside through the glass.

The improvised shed also pulls the shade.

The reservoir not far away was calm.

He put on his shirt and pants, pushed the door open, and walked out.

The water was so foggy that it was impossible to see inside.

Nothing but the sound of waves crashing against the shore.

Xiong Bao was awakened by Lu Changhua's movement, yawned, and followed crookedly.

It also feels like everything is in order.

Lu Changhua was a little confused, the scene just now was so real, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

He slowly walked up to the dam and came to the position directly facing the center of the reservoir, and took a closer look.

He faintly felt a hint of golden light in the water, and a strong urge made him want to tug the boat into the water.

He felt separated from his body, which no longer belonged to him.

In a trance, suddenly a warm tongue licked his hand.

"Wang~"

Lu Changhua woke up suddenly, was he confused by the water ghost!

His eyes widened, Xiong Bao was desperately tugging at his sleeve, and he was already standing at the water's edge.

He subconsciously followed Xiong Bao back a few steps.

Cold sweat broke out unconsciously.

Xiong Bao whimpered and stopped in front of him, barking wildly at the water.

Lu Changhua was so frightened by this frightening scene that his heart beat wildly, his legs and feet were weak, and he hurriedly ran back to the duty room with Xiong Bao, turned on the electric light and got into the bed.

Xiong Bao looked around vigilantly with his ears pricked up, and when he saw that there was no movement, he yawned again, lay down again, put his head on his front feet, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Lu Changhua suppressed his fear and told himself that he was in a daze just now, and there was no water ghost.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless.

The sky is getting brighter, and the sky is full of red clouds.

Lu Changhua climbed up with panda eyes, but he felt top-heavy, and he fell on the kang again.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Hu Dagui came to the duty room with breakfast.

He was taken aback.

Lu Changhua lay on the kang with a pale face.

"Changhua! Changhua! ”

Seeing that Lu Changhua didn't react, he boldly reached out and sniffed.

Seeing that he was still breathing, he let out a breath and touched his forehead.

"Ouch, it's so hot!"

Hu Dagui pulled Lu Changhua out of the bed, put on his shirt and pants, and carried it on his back.

Xiong Bao shouted twice and followed.

These hundreds of meters of dirt road made Hu Dagui paralyzed from exhaustion.

After a few breaks, he came to Lu's house.

Lu's mother was startled when she saw Hu Dagui coming back with her son on her back.

"Dagui, what's wrong with Changhua?"

"Auntie, he may have a fever, I will take him to the health center to see, he should be injected and he will be fine."

Hu Dagui comforted Lu's mother.

"Okay, I'll go find the car."

Lu's mother went to Mao's house to borrow a trolley.

Uncle Mao just came back from the night shift, and when he heard that Lu Changhua was sick, he also came over to help.

The three of them helped Lu Changhua to the car and draped the quilt over him.

The group rushed to the health center.

Seeing that Lu Changhua, who was sent by the trolley, was in a state of confusion, Dr. Zhu measured his body temperature and heart rate, and said: "Thirty-eight degrees five, high fever, you will be fine if you take an injection, rest assured." ”

"Doctor Zhu, you have to save Changhua back."

Lu's mother spoke with a crying tone.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Lao Lu got the news and hurried to the health center.

"Lao Zhu, is my son okay?"

"It's okay, just hang the bottle here for a few days."

With Lao Zhu's words, Lao Lu and Lu's mother finally put their minds at ease.

The cool needle water slowly entered Lu Changhua's body, and he gradually came to his senses.

Seeing that his parents, his mother and Hu Dagui were there, and he still had a needle in his arm, he knew that he was sick.
