Anecdotes from Mountains and Seas

"You still keep cats?" Yu Yuzhou asked in surprise.The domineering president actually has the leisure to raise a cat.Yu Yuzhou couldn't help suspecting that maybe this guy opened a zoo. There was such a precedent before. The owner of the zoo bought a vicious beast from him and put it on display in the zoo.

Su Yan said, "I have raised some other animals before, but they all died. The cat is still quite tenacious. However, this whisker seems to be different."

Yu Yuzhou has been holding this thing for some time. Indeed, this thing must be unusual, otherwise it would not have appeared on the dead fish.But what exactly is wrong, he can't tell.So I looked hard again.

Su Yan turned to Lao Jin and said, "Is there a fire?"

Lao Jin froze for a moment and said, "Yes."

In fact, Su Yan knew that Yu Yuzhou also had them, but I'm afraid it would be more troublesome to borrow them from him. He didn't seem to want to smoke for himself, so naturally he wouldn't lend himself a lighter.

Su Yan took Lao Jin's plastic disposable lighter, caught off guard and ignited the cat's whiskers.

Yu Yuzhou didn't think he would do that with him, and two seconds had passed by the time he realized it. Although the rescue was of little significance, he still subconsciously grabbed the cat's whiskers struggling in the flame of the lighter.

Just snatching it off and holding it in your hand is dumbfounded-it's not damaged at all?

Yu Yuzhou held the cat's whiskers in a daze, while Li Qing thoughtfully handed over a bottle of green ointment that he didn't know where he concocted, for fear that he would burn his hands.

Why can't it burn out?It stands to reason that the most important component of animal hair is nothing more than protein, and it will burn immediately if it is burned.But the cat's whiskers were not badly burned, and after being burnt, they still seemed to glow faintly and finely.

Yu Yuzhou finally realized, "Is it the beast's?"

Su Yan nodded and said, "Yes."

"Wait, wait! Don't cats eat fish? Why do cats' whiskers appear in the fish's mouth?" Lao Jin asked.

"It is said that if you use a cat's whiskers as a thread, you can catch unobtainable fish." Su Yan popularized science.

Yu Yuzhou added, "Jiang Ziya is said to be King Wen of Zhou caught in this way."

When Lao Jin heard this, he couldn't believe it at first, and then he was very serious, "It's worth studying."

Yu Yuzhou said again, "So, you mean, someone, no, a beast with a cat body wants to use the squid?" After a pause, he continued, "None of us know whether it is a civet cat or not."

Su Yan said, "I don't know either. Those who know about this matter, I'm afraid they should ask other people." Although he didn't explain who to ask, Su Yan's words did guide Yu Yuzhou's thinking into a new direction. direction.Originally he was going in the direction of the civet cat and the whiskers, but when Su Yan said this, he did think of another person, who should know more about the truth of this matter.

Besides the cat, the most important thing in this matter is the fish.Especially with regard to the matter of the cat's whiskers being the thread, no one has more say than the North Sea Merman Race.

"Mermaids? Mermaids? I haven't seen them before. Is that the kind..."

"No." Yu Yuzhou knew Lao Jin well and knew what he wanted to say next, so he interrupted him directly.Otherwise, the following content is estimated to be indescribable.

It wasn't that Yu Yuzhou deliberately interrupted his imagination, Lao Jin didn't know that the so-called mermaids were different from the mermaids in fairy tales in his impression until he arrived at the destination.

City S is not far from the destination. It is a small city by the sea. Although it is not possible to see the sea as soon as you get off the highway, the air in the city smells of sea salt.There are few cars in the city, and the roads are relatively wide. Basically, the places close to the sea are landscape roads, which are easy to walk.I didn't meet many people along the way, but Lao Jin was very excited along the way. He pestered Yu Yuzhou and asked what the shark was like. .

Su Yan was still the same as usual, whenever she was in the car, she closed her eyes and rested her mind.Yu Yuzhou thought of himself when he was studying, because he always had to turn on the lamp to read at night, but whenever he had a little spare time, he would use it to sleep.Thinking of this, I can't help feeling admiration.

Really annoyed by Lao Jin's yelling, Yu Yuzhou looked out of the glass of his magic car Wuling Hongguang, then pointed to a man who happened to pass by and said, "He is a mermaid."

Lao Jin quickly followed Yu Yuzhou's fingertips.The dark-skinned man wore only a pair of trousers all over his body—no shirt or shoes, and his naked upper body could clearly see smooth muscle lines, lean but not exaggerated; his feet were big, in line with his height Compared with it, it looked extraordinarily strange; coupled with that hair that seemed to have never been taken care of since birth, Lao Jin couldn't believe his eyes.

"Are you serious?" Lao Jin still had a little fantasy.

Yu Yuzhou nodded pretending to be sorry.

Indeed, the so-called sharks are not as beautiful as in fairy tales, with human bodies and fish tails.In the long-term evolution of these people, in order to better adapt to the life under human rule, the fish tail has almost degenerated, leaving only some scales on the lower body, which are often covered.

There are men and women in this group, and the number of men and women is evenly divided. It is not because of the implementation of the family planning policy, but as a kind of aquatic animals, they have basically mastered the magical skill of changing gender according to the needs of the group.

As one of the oldest groups, Yu Yuzhou felt that as long as he could find them, he should be able to understand the origin of the cat's whiskers.

There is a small square near the coastline in this small city called Shanhai Square.Such a name will remind people of the Executive Division.In fact, the relationship between the executive department and this place is not very great, it can only be said that there are some connections.

In the sea water near this square, there is a statue of a sea girl holding a pearl. It is very tall, and it is several feet high by visual estimation.There is a text on the stone seat under the statue, which probably tells the story of a shark who fell in love with a local fisherman.There are many such legends in Liaoning Province, such as the Yingkou dragon falling incident after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is not clear whether Yu Yuzhou is true or not, let alone care.

After staying in a nearby hotel for a few days, Lao Jin lost his patience first, and complained to Yu Yuzhou why he didn't go to find that shark.This so-called merman is an older one in the merman clan. The last time Yu Yuzhou saw him was many years ago when he was the only one in charge.Yu Yuzhou had some friendship with him.In the past, Yu Yuzhou would definitely be full of confidence and feel safe, but now that there is the matter of the fish, Yu Yuzhou has no confidence, and he is even ready to fight. Anyway, he can no longer be stabbed by others It's a knife.

In fact, it wasn't that Yu Yuzhou wasn't in a hurry, he just wanted to find him, and actually needed an opportunity.Yu Yuzhou has been waiting for these days when he lived by the sea.Li Qing was used to following him on business trips all over China, but he didn't expect Su Yan to follow him all the time.

"What are we waiting for? I can't go to the nine heavens to catch the moon, but I can go to the nine oceans to catch turtles! I don't think I have a problem even if I catch the dragon king under the sea."

Speaking of this, Li Qing's face turned ugly as expected.

Just when Lao Jin couldn't help but explode, it suddenly started to rain in the sky that had been clear just now.Yu Yuzhou thought to himself: This is the moment I've been waiting for!

Most of the mermaids have already lived on land, but some of them are over a hundred years old, because most of the scales on their bodies have not faded, so they cannot integrate into the society. After all, no one wants to be caught in the research institute Do dissection.

To put it in detail, these people have to thank Yu Yuzhou, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid they wouldn't be alive now.

What Yu Yuzhou has been waiting for is only such a time when the sea and the sky meet.This is also the agreement that Yu Yuzhou made with them at the beginning: Only when the sea and the sky meet can they approach the shore and meet their descendants.

"Let's go, it's time." Yu Yuzhou said.

A few people tidied up and were about to go out, but unexpectedly they were stopped at the door of the hotel.The man who stopped them was dressed very hip-hop and wore a peaked cap with the brim pressed down very low. Yu Yuzhou didn't recognize who he was for a moment, but he felt very familiar.Before he could ask, the man stretched out his hand and pushed Yu Yuzhou back who was about to go out.

Is this a burglary?Yu Yuzhou was speechless for a while.Immediately, the man took off his hat, and Yu Yuzhou saw clearly who this man was.

He looks like an unruly teenager, with trendy fifty shades of gray hair.It was the civet cat who had been missing for a long time, and suddenly came back on his own initiative.

Yu Yuzhou was surprised and didn't know what to say.There are too many things to ask, and he doesn't know where to start.Although Su Yan didn't know this person, he didn't show any hostility.

After staring at each other silently for a long time, it was Lao Jin who spoke first, "Oh civet cat! Where have you been for such a long time and I can't get in touch."

Although these words were a bit clichéd, they summed up all Yu Yuzhou's thoughts.He had a lot of questions to ask, such as whether he was the one who attacked Su Yan in the Nanjing Hotel that day, and whether the silver cat's whiskers belonged to him.

But in a nutshell, it is nothing more than where you have been recently.

The civet cat lazily lay down on the sofa and said, "It didn't go anywhere."

Such an answer obviously cannot satisfy anyone.Yu Yuzhou knew that civet cats had always been disobedient and used to being wild, so they usually didn't care much about him, but now that everything was pointed at him, he had to ask clearly, at least give Su Yan a statement.

Yu Yuzhou was about to ask, but Su Yan stopped him first, "It wasn't him." Seeing Yu Yuzhou's astonished expression, Su Yan added, "It wasn't him who came to the hotel that day."

Tanuki frowned instantly, "So, someone who looks like me went to you?"

"It's not very similar. It should be imitating you on purpose." Although Yu Yuzhou didn't know why Su Yan could conclude that it wasn't him, Su Yan has always been trusted by him, so he might as well continue what he said.
