The Antarctic ice sheet is bitterly cold, the vast snowfield is covered with thick snow and ice, and the wind roars every day as if it is not tired. However, in the underground world of this white wasteland, it is as warm as spring, and some places are as hot as summer.

In the Nemo world, the distinction between day and night was made by the sound of bells, and the clocks in their world were 24 numerals, and the daytime work began at 5 o'clock every day, and after 7 p.m. began the night life, because the sun was still high in the sky during the polar day. The Nemo have historically measured the passage of time based on changes in the natural world and people's feelings.

In the morning, as the clock rang, the town of Wickley woke up, and the townspeople got up from their warm beds to start their day. The streets come alive with shops, and the aroma of freshly grilled fish fills the air.

However, unlike in the past, the townspeople today are a little flustered, and the adults are a little distracted, talking about something in one ear to ear. At this time, Millie, who had just gotten up and was about to wash, turned on the faucet and shouted, "Ah! It's terrifying! Mom! Mom! Come on! Millie cried out to her mother. Vico heard the sound and immediately jumped out of bed and came to Millie's side. He was also stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

I saw that the water coming out of the faucet was blood red! Vico and Millie were startled by the blood-red water, and they panicked to turn off the faucet, but the sound of vibrations coming from the water pipe let them know that the red water was not coming out because the pipe was broken. Vico hurriedly turned off the faucet and pulled Millie out of the bathroom, they wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

Mom also ran upstairs and bumped into the two of them. "Millie, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Did my brother bully you? Mom asked softly while hugging Millie. Vico was a little annoyed and replied, "Mom! It's terrible, the water coming out of the tap is red, like the blood of a seal, it's so scary! After saying that, he felt that something was wrong, and added: "Also! Don't frame people. I didn't bully Millie! Mom realized that she had wronged Vico, and said apologetically, "Oh! I'm sorry, Vico. Then he crouched down and said to Millie, "It's all right, Millie, now it's not just our house that's turning red, it's the whole town's water that's turning red." After speaking, he pulled the two of them to the restaurant downstairs, and his father was also sitting at the dining table drinking morning tea at this time, and said to his mother: "At this time, the red water came a little early, maybe there is a little problem with the glacier water source, I will go to the mayor to discuss it later, and send someone to see what the water source is." Vicco asked his father curiously, "Dad, what's going on?" Do we have to drink red water at this time of year? ”

Dad smiled and stroked Vico's hair and explained, "It's a complicated question, our town's water comes from glaciers, and the water from glaciers is usually crystal clear. But sometimes, some of the substances in the glacier can dissolve in the water for some special reason, turning the water red. Although it may seem scary, it actually doesn't have much impact on our lives for a short period of time, because the town of Wickley has two water sources, and one is groundwater, which comes from the warm underground, but it is not enough for the whole town. So this matter still needs to be dealt with quickly! What a headache! ”

Vico and Millie were relieved when they heard this, and then Mom brought a plate of freshly baked grilled fish, which was full of aroma, and she smiled and said, "Don't overthink it, kids." It's breakfast time, come and have breakfast! ”

Vico and Millie forgot about the blood and sat down happily at the table. After breakfast, Dad went to the mayor's house and discussed with him how to deal with the blood and water. Vico and Millie picked up their school bags and went to school together.

As soon as they entered the school gate, Fosco and Brende ran over, "Vico, did you drink water this morning?" Brende said with a wicked grin. Vico said casually, "Drink a glass of red soda!" The taste is not bad. Fusco and Brende's mouths opened in surprise. Fursco was surprised and said, "You really drank red water?" But my mother said that you can't drink that kind of water, you will get sick! ”

Wei Ke blinked mischievously and said mysteriously: "Actually, the taste of that red water is really special, a bit like caviar, and a bit like the fragrance of Antarctic hair grass, don't you think it's amazing?" Fusco and Brende looked skeptical, but were still drawn to Vico's words.

Just then, Millie walked over, and she frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" Haven't you heard? This morning there was a problem with the water source in our town, and the water turned red, although Dad said that it would not have much impact on our lives in the short term, but it still needs to be dealt with quickly. ”
