Little Bosses and Little Monsters

When he saw the tooth marks on the drowned boy's arm, the word "fishwife" popped into Shu Jing's mind.It is a kind of alien, to be precise, it is not considered a living creature, so it is not considered a monster.It is a brand-new monster born from the parasitism between the drowned people and the fish in the river, but it is very different from mermaids. Most of them are extremely ugly and irrational. They only have the instinct of eating. Alive, but as soon as the human and fish parts are separated, they will die instantly.

The fishwives themselves are not very aggressive, but when there is no food, they will take the initiative to attack humans.

Qiangzi's father said that Qiangzi once salvaged a batch of fish in the lake and sold them to the restaurant down the mountain. Thinking of the rotten fish soup they saw in the hot spring club, it probably came from the fish that Qiangzi salvaged. Fishwives, if some fishwives are formed by drowning babies, they are mostly small in size, and the human form is usually not obvious, so it is easy to be confused with normal fish, because the essence is a dead carrion, so it is called After being killed and made into soup, it quickly returned to its rotten original body.

How many baby girls have been mutilated in this village for decades, how did they deal with those poor little lives?

The calm lake in front of us is the "Fengzi Lake" regarded as the sacred mother water by Banqiao Village. It is not a real sacred place, not the so-called blessed place blessed by ancestors. It is the most hypocritical purgatory in the world. It is an inhuman melting pot. What is reflected in the clear water of the lake is not the mountains, rivers and forests, but the mourning and flesh and blood of countless innocent girls. Those fragile children will come to this world, and their mouths will burst out with vitality. Crying, eager to be embraced by love and warmth, but what did the world respond to them?Maybe there are only indifferent eyes and cold lake water.

People in this village have even been drinking the water in Fengzi Lake. This is the most terrifying indifference. They don't even realize that they have become executioners, and they don't feel the slightest bit of guilt for their crimes. drink it.

Xu Ran turned pale when he thought of the food made with this lake water, and almost felt sick.

The deep sorrow captured the few people by the lake. They faced Fengzi Lake with solemn expressions at the moment. Even though the lake looked peaceful and beautiful, they knew in their hearts that there was a huge cemetery in front of them, and there were countless innocent souls buried without monuments. , they couldn't help wanting to do something, even if it was just standing like this and paying homage to them for a while, so that their birth would no longer be just a meaningless tragedy.

Hou Qing also lost her playful smile: "I have been in the human world for so many years, because these fragile and timid beings are not like demons, they don't have so many unique advantages, just surviving, it seems that they have exhausted all their energy, But watching them live so hard every day, feel happy because they can welcome the new sunshine today, and shed tears for some trivial things, I feel that this is life, and this is a life. But I also have to Admitting that being weak does not mean tolerance, and the cruel factor that may erupt in their bodies sometimes surprises me."

Shu Jing hooked the corners of his mouth, like a breeze lifted the covers of those white papers in his study. He had seen too many joys and sorrows along the way. The strength of a smile is harvested from the bottom of my heart, but some, even a single stroke, reeks of blood, which is horrifying to see.

"No!" Xu Ran exclaimed, "That fishwife just now is definitely not a baby that can be turned into!"

The fishwife they saw with their own eyes just now had only half a face, but it was obviously from an adult, and the baby fishwife would never grow to such a big size.

This means that those girls are not the only ones buried in Fengzi Lake.

As soon as they stepped into this peaceful small village, their feet fell into the blood-colored mud. When the blood mud on the surface was removed, the truth was far more heart-wrenching than they thought.

The voice of the old village chief came from behind. He saw the four of them standing by the lake, so he came to greet them.

"Come back from Qiangzi's house? What did his father say?"

Having just touched part of the truth, Xu Ran couldn't even maintain the superficial politeness, and could only leave the village head with a stubborn silent back.

Tian Wang was not affected too much. As for Shu Jing and Hou Qing, the two reacted very quickly to clear up their emotions, and put on flawless smiles again.

Hou Qing found an excuse and stayed at the village head's house for an extra night.

Although the village is disgusting from top to bottom, there is no way, the fishwives who have tasted human taste are no longer harmless walking corpses, and this lake is connected to the water sources of other villages. Kill everything before expanding.

This lake has long been no longer the mother spring that nourishes the water and soil. Its water is infiltrated with huge poison and full of sharp teeth.It's ridiculous that the villagers in Banqiao Village also regard it as a treasure, and they are proud of it, and they are stingy to share with outsiders.It can be seen that the punishment for all crimes has already come quietly, and the longevity they boast about is actually a delay before the "death penalty".

After hastily coping with the day, the village chief and his wife still enthusiastically prepared meals for them, but Xu Ran went back to the room with a pale face as soon as he saw the dishes, and Shu Jing prevaricated with the excuse that he had a stomachache.

At night, it began to rain continuously and bitterly.

After all the lights are turned off, there is boundless darkness and silence, only the sound of rain hitting leaves and the coolness penetrating into one's bones can be heard.

Fengzi Lake at night is like a pool of ink, dyed black by the rain.

Tianwang was holding an umbrella, but most of it was covered by the top of the Shu lens, and one arm of his was completely soaked, but he didn't realize it.Because Xu Ran needed to get the talisman, he couldn't spare an umbrella and didn't prepare a raincoat, so he and Hou Qing had to get in the rain together.

They changed direction and approached the lake from the uninhabited side.

The rain washed the soil, releasing some of the usually more subtle smells.

As they approached, the rotten fishy smell became more intense, and an invisible net seemed to be stretched in the rain curtain, covered with slimy liquid and broken scales.

The raindrops masked the rising bubbles of the lake.

Hou Qing pulled all her hair back to reveal her smooth forehead. Xu Ran noticed that Hou Qing's skin had become dazzlingly white since then, even under the faint light of the flashlight in her hand, it was as dark as night. Clear blue and white.

He put his pocket in the rain, staring at the lake indifferently, gradually, some bright red, branch-like lines climbed from his temples to his cheeks and forehead, making him suddenly look terrifying like a ghost. Her lips were even redder, and she usually looked like she was always holding rose petals in her mouth, but now she looked like she had just been full of blood.

Xu Ran took a deep breath inwardly. This kind of Hou Qing, who was usually a cynical guy with a mouth full of running trains, suddenly had the legendary appearance of the ancestor of zombies.

"I'll go down first to find out the situation, kid, you'll meet me at the shore, do you understand?"

Hou Qing turned around and asked him, and Xu Ran saw the other party's pupils turned into a sea of ​​blood. Xu, who had never seen any big scenes, couldn't help being cowardly, and he couldn't see the prestige when he argued with Hou Qing in the past.

"Uh, I, do I need to do something?"

Hou Qing stared at the backpack in his hand: "Take all the various talismans of your master's school, and use whichever one you want to use."

"Oh, oh good."

Then Hou Qing simply jumped into the lake and disappeared.

Tianwang looked at Xu Ranlu's timid look and sneered: "It's really shameful."

Xu Ran glared angrily.

"That's the ancestor of zombies. I can be forgiven for being cowardly. Don't be arrogant, you little thing. Your father will always be your father!"

"Of course my dad is my dad, what does it have to do with you?" Tian Wang, who had zero knowledge of popular terms, was obviously puzzled by this sentence.

Shu Jing couldn't help laughing.

Tianwang was upset: "What are you laughing at, I don't even know where my dad is."

Shu Jing asked back: "What kind of father do you want? Is it not enough for me?"

Oh, makes sense too.

Tianwang was speechless.

"There is no principle, there is no lower limit!" Xu Ran hated that iron could not become steel.

Tianwang stared back: "Say it as if you know where your father is."

"..."

A group of fatherless people looked at each other by the lake.

Some fine sounds passed through the pattering rain and reached the eardrums of the three of them.

The three of them stared intently, and from a distance of about ten meters away from them, a thin figure walked through the woods and came to the lake with slow steps.

Xu Ran opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he also recognized that it was the woman they had seen during the day and was reprimanded by her husband.

The woman didn't open an umbrella either, and her messy hair, tied into a thatch ball, collapsed after getting wet, and was attached to the back of her neck.The woman looked like when she saw her during the day, her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul, she shuffled and stood by the lake.

"What is she doing?" Tianwang asked in a low voice suspiciously.

Shu Jing and Xu Ran saw that this scene looked familiar.

"She...she seems to be..." Suicide!

Before Xu Ran could finish his words, the woman plunged into the lake.

"Depend on!"

Without time to do anything else, Xu Ran threw his backpack and jumped into the lake.

The wind and rain suddenly became violent, rustling the branches around the lake, as if a group of wildly dancing mountain ghosts were having a sacrificial carnival.
