My Goddess is a Cat

v2 Chapter 232: Ancient Underwater City (8)

Eight people had a lively meal. Just as Uncle Hei said, only the boiled fish from Baidao Lake is the most authentic and authentic taste, perhaps with shad. The reason is that it seems to be better than the lunch at noon. Even the bones of the fish can’t help but bite, and they sucked the pulp from the spine of the fish.

"Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine is light, and there is no problem with it before. At that time, the chicken, duck and fish meat raised at home were naturally hormone-free. They were boiled in water and they were delicious without seasoning. Where is it like now, buy it at the vegetable market? Those dishes without seasoning are tasteless. So Jiangzhe cuisine is now the cuisine that pays attention to the most ingredients to make the taste." Zhao Ben expressed his opinion like a glutton.

Zhao originally wanted to give money, but of course Tang An and the others would not ask for it, but Zhao originally brought a bottle of red wine. He originally planned to enjoy it romantically with his girlfriend, and now he drank a little separately. Tang An made an excuse to stay vigil at night and refused completely. When there were girls around, Tang An decided not to touch this stuff again. The lesson was profound enough to be unforgettable.

The dinner made by all eight people was quite hearty. Everyone was full and packed up after eating. After everyone played games wherever they were happy, Zhang Yuying also performed a ∵▽house system. Animation dance, this time is relatively late, everyone seems to have forgotten the fear of the attack of the water ghost.

Moonlight fell on the camp through the sparse leaves, and the bonfire was still burning. The fluttering flames cast shadows of teeth and claws on the tent. When the vigil was started, everyone began to feel some tension and slight worry.

Thinking about so many people sleeping together, there is nothing to be afraid of. Tang An is holding a wooden stick. The first class to accompany him is Zhao Ben, but Zhao Ting doesn’t dare to sleep alone. In the middle of the night, Zhao Ben woke up to accompany Tang An, so if Zhao Ting woke up and found that no one around him would be scared, she would simply cancel Zhao Ben’s vigil and let Tang An, Zhang Mulin and Zhang Zhongfa take turns.

Tang An asked Zhang Mulin and Zhang Zhongfa to go to bed first. He would call them later. In fact, he didn’t plan to call them. No one called them. No one guessed that they would sleep until dawn. They stayed up all night, not to mention that once something unexpected happened, it would not be convenient for Tang An to show his power and means beyond ordinary people.

As everyone entered the tent, the camp suddenly fell silent. Tang An sat beside the fire, watching the black and shiny golden charcoal under the yellow-orange-orange flames. The surrounding air seemed to be filled with the unique characteristics of the lake island. Tang An has a deja vu. He remembered his experience on the small island in the middle of Yangcheng Lake that night. Suddenly he felt that the faint scent he smelled in the air when he first came to Baidao Lake during the day seemed to be the same as the **** of the lake. The smell of flowers and plants next to the temple is somewhat similar.

The wind passed by the trees, bringing the branches and leaves to flick, like a little beast walking through it, Tang An pricked his ears to distinguish the various sounds, feeling that such things as the night watch are not only lonely and difficult, but more importantly, they are exhausting and must be refreshed. Otherwise, the vigilance is not high or it is difficult to maintain, then the meaning of the night watch will not be played.

The sound of the zipper of the tent behind him sounded, and Tang An turned around, and it was Zhang Yuying who came out and sat beside Tang An.

"Why are you still asleep?" Tang An said.

"I'll stay with you for a while." Zhang Yuying blinked, "Long night, unconscious sleep, such a beautiful day, the bright moon is sky, the crow and magpie fly south, why don't you and I have a drink and spend the night together?"

The lake and islands are facing the water, the water is shining, the bright moon hangs on the bottom of the water, the faint islands are like undulating dark clouds, and the faint night is considered to be a beautiful scene, but the flight of the crow magpie to the south is just a nonsense. Zhang Yuying went to drink He took the rest of the wine, poured a glass and handed it to Tang An.

Tang An took a sip, "Don't drink it, I'll want to sleep later."

If someone else handed it over, Tang An wouldn't know how to drink a mouthful.

Zhang Yuying didn't mind, holding the cup and drank the rest of the wine. Tang An looked at her lips, but was not sure if the edge of the cup she had just touched was the place she had touched just now.

"I still don't think it's a water ghost, it may be a big fish." Zhang Yuying nodded surely after thinking.

"Uncle Hei said he had seen it with his own eyes." Tang An said.

"Maybe he lied to us? All the water monster rumors in this world came from the so-called witnesses, but they generally can't get any evidence, not even photos." Zhang Yuying lowered her voice. , Seems to be afraid that the whispers in the night will spread farther, "Do you think that Uncle Hei misses his wife and children so much that he is deranged and enters the world of self-intoxication to support himself?"

"You think too much." Tang An knows that Zhang Yuying, as an ordinary person, has a relatively low level of acceptance of such weird things. "In short, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not. After we get through tonight and return to Zhonghai tomorrow, Don’t worry about this. Water ghosts will never leave Baidao Lake and go to Zhonghai to chase us. At that time, whether Uncle Hei continued to catch water ghosts or waking up from the intoxicated world, it has nothing to do with us. ."

"You are really indifferent. According to the way of the heroic hero in the general story, you should stay with Uncle Hei to fight the water ghosts of Baidao Lake, and finally become the famous ghost catcher of Maoshan Taoist priest." Zhang Yuying Signed a gesture of wielding a mahogany sword.

"You still think too much." Tang An is not an indifferent person, but he is also not the kind of person who will sacrifice his life for the sake of others' stories. "If I go to catch ghosts, I will definitely bring you with you."

"Take me for what?" Zhang Yuying looked at Tang An puzzled.

There was a small flame shining in her eyes, and Tang An was stunned, and said to himself, there is no reason... Tang An coughed, "Take you, at least it's fun."

"Am I interesting?" Zhang Yuying looked at herself, "I always think you are more interesting."

"Of course, it is because of fun that everyone can become friends. Generally no one likes boring people." Tang An said with a smile.

"I think Uncle Hei should be a boring person." Zhang Yuying frowned. "I admire him for being able to live on this island for so many years, but it is also quite boring. He is usually more difficult to explain. , It’s rare that he would talk to you so much."

"Everyone has the desire to confide in their inner world, and it depends on whether they meet someone they are willing to confide in. Maybe he feels that I believe what he says more, and I don't treat him as a lunatic." Tang An thought. I thought, "If this water ghost is an unknown creature, I can understand it, but listening to Uncle Hei’s meaning, it seems to say that the water ghost is really a kind of ghost. I don’t know what he means, and he didn’t say at the time. What is his guess."

"Do you want to tell ghost stories in the big night?" Zhang Yuying grabbed Tang An's arm, but seemed to have the courage to play freely, and said casually: "I think the water ghost is the water ghost, just look at it from the name. Shui Ghost... isn't it just a ghost that a person drowned in water turns into a ghost?"

"Then you are metaphysics. I believe there are monsters that humans have not seen before... or unknown creatures, or even aliens, but any ghosts formed by human grievances are completely nonsense." Tang An shook his head. , "Aren't ghosts unable to see the light? Then they are so arrogant in broad daylight, and they come to the shore to arrest people."

"It was underwater at the time." Zhang Yuying insisted on her point of view, "I think, water ghosts are formed like this... Think about it, when the Liger City was going to be submerged, it must have been living in The people inside have moved away, but can you see how many nail households there are now? There must be nail households back then!"

Tang An couldn't help laughing, "According to your statement, the water ghosts of Baidao Lake are the nail households that originally refused to relocate? When the nails become ghosts, they can be called the most powerful nail households in history."

Zhang Yuying hit Tang An, and continued to earnestly immerse himself in her imagination, "Listen to me...you have to know that people back then were more traditional than they are now, right? There is a saying that leaves fall back to the roots, and people return to their homes after death. Some people feel that if they move out, wouldn't they be able to return to Liger City after they die? You must know that people at that time had a stronger sense of hometown than it is now, and it is almost incomprehensible to people nowadays. Perhaps they were unwilling to move away...When the floods flooded the city of Liger, those who did not move died in the city of Liger under the water, because of their strong obsession and protection of the city of Liger. Faith has become the current water ghost."

After speaking, Zhang Yuying felt that her explanation was too reasonable, so she showed a tragic expression, sighed again and drank another glass of wine.

"Uncle Hei said that the water ghost first appeared more than ten years after the city was submerged, and that it had nothing to do with the city being submerged. If your explanation is that Uncle Hei has listened to it~lightnovelpub.net ~ I guess he would agree." Zhang Yuying is right to explain the formation of water ghosts, but Tang An feels that water ghosts are after all an underwater creature, and it is impossible to change from a normal human to a gene mutation. Yeah. But what Uncle Hei said has something to do with "ghost", what exactly is it referring to? Does Uncle Hei think the same as Zhang Yuying?

Maybe this is just a kind of habitual thinking of human beings. Facing phenomena that cannot explain the lack of cognition, I use mysticism to describe and imagine.

"I don't want him to agree." Zhang Yuying yawned, then tilted her head and leaned in slowly, resting her head on Tang An's shoulders, "Tang An, you said that if a water ghost is really coming to attack you. what should we do?"

"I'm here." Tang An smiled slightly, and smelled the scent of her hair. "Don't worry, even if my brother has a broken arm, I will protect you well."

"Don't use this protective character!" Zhang Yuying's cheeks were slightly red, "It feels so evil."

Tang An remembered that there had been a period of time when the Internet used to describe the series of behaviors of the man to the woman in the relationship between men and women by using "protection", so he smiled and said, "You just like to think too much."
