Chapter 69: Reef Fat Fish
Mingshu rowed an oar, and Li Xiang and Huang Xu took turns operating an oar. Huang Xu saw that Mingshu could subdue a man with one hand, and knew that this girl was powerful, so he didn't feel embarrassed. The little boy Sean sat on his knees on the bow of the ship, wearing an eye patch, and looked like a little pirate.
Mingshu asked, "Sean, do you remember your father, and what kind of person is he?"
When his father disappeared, Sean was six years old and already remembered. Sean has the impression that his father loves him very much, and as a Westerner, Sean's father is more accustomed to communicating with his children on an equal footing. "My dad never beat me, he always said I was his pride," Sean said. But when Sean's father was there, Sean didn't show any natural abilities, so Sean wasn't sure if his father would misunderstand his ability to sorcery like everyone else. Sean's cool expression loosened when he talked about his father.
"Did he tell you his story?"
"I've talked about it, but I don't remember it exactly. He seems to have come here during some ditch investigation. ”
Mingshu had a faint guess in her heart: "Is it Heizhugou?" Sean thought for a while, shook his head and said that he couldn't remember, Mingshu asked unrelentingly, "What's your father's name?"
Sean replied in a whisper, "William." ”
"William White?British?" Sean nodded again, and Mingshu continued to ask, "How old is your father?"
"It's more than a thousand years old. ”
Li Xiang interjected: "The Englishman who accompanied your great-grandfather on the expedition?" Mingshu said that she was not sure, but it was very likely that she had the same name and surname. Lee thought about it, this William had stayed in the void long enough. He pouted at Sean's back and whispered to Mingshu, "If your guess is correct, according to the age of his hometown, we have to call him grandpa." Li Xiang rarely made a joke, but it attracted Mingshu to roll his eyes.
"Brother Lin Zi saved a girl, who came from his hometown in 1928, according to you, Brother Lin Zi should call her great-grandmother, but Brother Lin Zi is not a girl who shouts very smoothly. ”
Li Xiang also heard about Xiaoqin, and Zhou Kun, who was born in the nineties at the end of the century, also called his sister, of course, compared to him marrying a "mother", this title is really nothing.
roughly guessed Sean's life experience, and Mingshu became a little closer to Sean. Suddenly, Huang Xu shouted, "What a big fish." As soon as the words fell, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the boat shook violently, Mingshu hurriedly grabbed Sean's arm and dragged him into the cabin to prevent him from falling overboard. A large fish more than a meter long flicked its tail and swam past the side of the boat.
"Reef fish?" Mingshu exclaimed.
Li Xiang was also a little surprised, since he met the stone egg bear, Li Xiang carefully read the "Nine Hills Species Examination", although it was not transparent, but he was still very impressed by this reef fat fish. This fish is a deep-water fish that usually lives on the reefs of underground rivers, feeds on plankton in the water, and is cautious by nature, usually not swimming to the surface.
Mingshu tried to communicate with the reef fat fish with the medium frequency wave, but there was no response, she turned on the high-frequency perception again, and immediately found that there were more than a dozen reef fat fish and some other fish within a radius of five miles nearby, and the emotions they expressed were excitement and eagerness. What makes them have such emotions? Mingshu used low-frequency waves to get nothing, Li wanted to turn on the ultra-low-frequency waves, and what he perceived was the dense light spots in the water, and the light points composed of these ultra-low-frequency consciousnesses had no soul and no consciousness, just like the most elementary particles, or 0 and 1 in computer language. "There's a lot of plankton in the water. Li Xiang said. Mingshu also understands that what she feels is the emotions that fish are aroused by food.
Mingshu asked, "It's a little abnormal, have you paid attention to the situation in the water before?" Li Xiang shook his head.
The boat continued to move forward, Mingshu turned on high-frequency perception, and Li Xiang turned on ultra-low-frequency perception. Little cool brother Sean sat in the middle cabin, next to Huang Xu. He took off his blindfold, and his beautiful blue eyes flickered.
After another four or five miles, Li Xiang noticed that the plankton was getting denser and denser, and Sean said, "There is a boat ahead, and there are eight people on board." Li wanted to ask Mingshu why she didn't perceive these people. Mingshu said that she perceives the other party through her emotions, and the fact that she can't perceive the other party means that these people are very calm. But she also noticed an anomaly, there were four reef fat fish gathered together, and they were agitated, as if they were confined to a certain space, and they were rushing left and right.
The boats in front were moving slowly, and when the two boats were a mile apart, they saw each other. The other party is a slightly larger boat, with eight men on board, all of whom are powerful. The moment she saw the other party, Mingshu seemed to feel a hostility, which was fleeting, so that Mingshu thought it was just her own illusion. Now Mingshu can be sure that the four reef fat fish are at the bottom of the boat, and the reef fat fish's mood has changed from agitation to excitement, and they have begun to feed.
Mingshu whispered, "They're catching reef fat fish." ”
Li Xiangqi said: "Although this fish is non-toxic, 70% of the whole body is oil, and it has no edible value at all." ”
"It's very likely that their purpose is to get oil. ”
"What is the purpose of their grease acquisition?," Li Xiang said, his face gradually turning pale.
The two boats were close, and this time Mingshu clearly felt the three vigilant emotions, which were quickly suppressed again.
"Those people have problems. Mingshu whispered, looked at Li Xiang, and then looked back at Huang Xu and Sean: "Pretend not to know anything, if it's really a villain, I can't protect the three of you in conflict." ”
Sean said coolly: "Big sister is not afraid, Uncle Huang will be fine if he speaks." With that, he closed his eyes and lay down in the cabin, he didn't want the people to see his eyes.
Huang Xu stood up, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Fellow, how far is it from Zhibao Village? ”
One of the people on the boat replied, "It's not far, it's a day and a half away." Several others turned away and ignored them.
Huang Xu said: "That's good, that's good, I'm afraid that if I go for another ten days and half a month, I'll go crazy." The person on the opposite boat laughed twice, which was a response.
Seeing that the other party didn't want to say more, Huang Xu made a gesture to the other party: "Then you are busy, we have to hurry." I don't want to stay in this passage for a moment. He turned his head and scolded Mingshu and Li Xiang: "It's you two little ghosts, you have to go through this passage, and you are bored to death." ”
The two boats staggered, Li Xiang's eyelids jumped slightly, and the oars in his hand did not pause.
The boat walked forward for more than 100 meters, and Huang Xu's anger still did not subside: "I told you two, go back and walk, it is useless for you to beg your father to tell your grandmother." He snorted heavily, "The rest of the day is halfway through the boat, you two rowed, do you hear?"
Mingshu and Li Xiang replied loudly, "I heard it."
Huang Xu lay down: "Then I'll sleep for a while, don't bother me if it's okay." ”
Leaving the big ship far behind, Ming Shu burst out laughing: "Uncle Huang, are you a drama spirit?"
Huang Xu sat up and said, "Don't blame the young lady, I was acting for others just now." In our business, it depends on acting and acting well, so that people are willing to enjoy food. ”
Mingshu listened to Zhile, but turned his head to catch a glimpse of Li Xiang's calm face and frowning, Mingshu asked him what he had found.
Li Xiang said: "They are dead soldiers, and I feel the shackles of their hearts. When he was chased and killed before, he never thought of using ultra-low frequency waves to perceive living people, but after a video conversation with Yang Mingtai, he remembered that there was indeed such a ruthless method as a shackle in the heart. When the two ships were wrong, although he couldn't feel the sea of consciousness of those people, the ultra-low frequency consciousness in the shape of a round card in his brain was clearly perceived.
Li Xiang continued: "The closer you get to their boat, the denser the plankton becomes, and here, there is very little plankton, and they are obviously using plankton to trap reef fat fish for oil. I can roughly guess what these oils are used for. But why don't they just grow it? Why do they have to go to such great lengths to fish here?"
Mingshu immediately denied Li Xiang's statement: "Pure grease that can be used as fuel can't be grown, and Yu Wan doesn't allow it." ”
"Sister Shu, do you want to stop them?"
Mingshu looked at the three people on the boat again: "Can you three swim?" and all three shook their heads.
"Forget it, after all, this is in Yu Wan's body, and it is disrespectful to God to have a conflict, if you happen to be seen by Yu Wan's distraction, both sides of the conflict will be punished, even if I am from the Yang family. Moreover, I am not sure to protect the three of you, we have crossbows, and the other party may not have them. ”
"Aren't those people fishing afraid of being distracted by Yu Wan?"
"They are now trapping the fish in the bilge, and they have not hurt their lives, and even if they see it, they may not be able to make a move. ”
Li Xiang leaned close to Mingshu's ear and asked quietly, "Sister Shu, do you think there is something wrong with this girl's intelligence?"
Mingshu glanced at him: "Don't talk nonsense." Then he sighed, "Who knows? ”
"How can the young lady be a mortal? The young lady is obviously a fairy. He heard the conversation between Mingshu and Li Xiang before, but he didn't understand it, but he understood the last sentence, and took the opportunity to pat the little benefactor who took him away from Chiwang.
Mingshu's face is a little crimson, and it is always a pleasure to be praised by others. "Uncle Huang, you are all old, and you are still a little sister and little brother, so you are not ashamed to say it. ”
Huang Xu laughed: "If you do what we do, you have to drink the northwest wind if you know it." ”
was interrupted by Huang Xu, Li Xiang and Mingshu did not continue the topic just now, and the boat continued to move forward.
On the fishing boat, the person who talked to Huang Xu looked in the direction where the boat disappeared.
One person asked, "Brother Chen, do those people have problems?"
Brother Chen shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"Do you really want to let them go? forget about the two men, the little girl's skin is a water spirit, and the brothers are happy to catch them back. ”
Brother Chen knocked on the door of the man's head with a chestnut: "Want to make trouble, don't look at what kind of place this is! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get to work, this kind of good bait will be delivered next time I don't know what life it will take to arrive." Hey, you, remember to put some bait in the fish tank at all times and don't let them make a noise. ”
