Chapter 192

Eight people had a good meal. As Uncle Hei said, only the boiled fish in Baidao lake is the most authentic taste. Perhaps it is because of the addition of shad, which makes people feel better than the noon meal. Even the fish bone head makes people can't help biting and sucking the marrow fluid in the fish spine.

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes are light. There was no problem putting them in the past. At that time, the chicken, duck and fish raised at home were natural and hormone free. They were easily boiled in water without seasoning. What's more, the dishes bought in the vegetable market have no taste without seasoning. Therefore, Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes now pay the most attention to ingredients to make flavor." Zhao Ben expressed his opinions like a glutton.

Zhao Ben wanted to give money, but Tang an certainly wouldn't, but Zhao Ben brought a bottle of red wine. He was going to enjoy it romantically with his girlfriend. Now he shared it. Tang an refused completely on the pretext of staying awake at night. When there were girls around, Tang an decided not to touch this thing again. The lesson was deep enough, Unforgettable.

The dinner made by eight people was quite rich. Everyone was full and cleaned up after eating. After everyone was interested in playing the game for a while, Zhang Yuying also performed a house animation dance. At this time, it was late. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the fear of water ghosts.

The moonlight fell on the camp through the scattered leaves. The campfire was still burning. The floating flames cast a shadow of teeth and claws on the tent. When we began to perform the night watch, we began to feel some tension and slight worry.

Think about it. There's nothing to be afraid of when so many people sleep together. Tang'an took a wooden stick. Zhao Ben was the first to accompany him, but Zhao Ting didn't dare to sleep alone. Considering that even if Zhao Ben got up to accompany Tang'an in the middle of the night, Zhao Ting would be scared if she woke up and found no one around her, so she simply cancelled Zhao Ben's vigil and Tang'an, Zhang Mulin and Zhang Zhongfa rotate.

Tang an asks Zhang Mulin and Zhang Zhongfa to go to bed first. He will call them later. In fact, he doesn't intend to call them. It's estimated that they will sleep until dawn. It's OK to keep them alone. There's no need to let them stay up late. Moreover, once there is any emergency, Tang an is not convenient to show his strength and means to surpass ordinary people.

As everyone entered the tent, the camp suddenly became silent. Tang an sat next to the fire and looked at the black, bright and golden charcoal under the yellow orange flame. The surrounding air seemed to be filled with the unique flavor of the lake island. Tang an had a feeling of deja vu. He remembered his experience on the island in the middle of Yangcheng Lake that night, Suddenly, I felt that the faint smell in the air when I first came to Baidao lake during the day seemed to be somewhat similar to the smell of the flowers and plants beside the lake temple.

When the wind passes through the trees, it stirs up the branches and leaves like a small animal. Tang an pricks up her ears to distinguish various sounds. She feels that the night watch is not only lonely and difficult, but also consumes her mind. She must be refreshed and calm. Otherwise, her vigilance is not high or difficult to maintain, so the significance of the night watch will not be played.

The zipper of the tent behind him sounded. Tang an turned around. Zhang Yuying came out and sat next to Tang an.

"Why don't you sleep?" said Tang an.

"I'll stay with you for a while." Zhang Yuying blinked. "It's a long night. I don't want to sleep. It's such a beautiful day. The moon is in the sky and the crows and magpies fly south. Why don't you and I have a drink and spend the night together?"

The lake island faces the water on all sides. The waves in the water are flickering, and the bright moon is hanging at the bottom of the water. The faint island is like undulating dark clouds. The faint night is also a beautiful scene on a good day. It's just that the crow magpie flying south is nonsense. Zhang Yuying took the rest of the wine and poured a cup to Tang an.

Tang an took a sip, "no, I'll want to sleep later."

If someone handed it over, Tang an wouldn't drink a mouthful.

Zhang Yuying didn't mind either. She took the cup and drank the rest of the wine. Tang an looked at her lips, but wasn't sure if the edge of the cup she had just touched was the place she had just touched.

"I still think it's not a water ghost, maybe a big fish." Zhang Yuying nodded after thinking.

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

"Maybe he lied to us? All the rumors about water monsters in the world came from the so-called people who witnessed them, but they generally couldn't get any evidence, not even photos." Zhang Yuying lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that the whispers would spread far away at night, "Do you think uncle Hei's feelings for his wife and children are so strong that he is insane and enters the world of self intoxication to support him to live?"

"You think too much." Tang an knows that Zhang Yuying, as an ordinary person, still has a low acceptance of such strange things, "In a word, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. When we get through tonight and return to Zhonghai tomorrow, we don't have to care about it. The water ghost will never leave Baidao lake to chase us in Zhonghai. At that time, whether uncle Hei continues to catch the water ghost or wakes up from the intoxicated world has nothing to do with us."

"You are so cold. According to the practice of the chivalrous hero in the general story, you should stay with Uncle Hei to fight the water ghost of Baidao lake, and finally become the famous ghost catcher of Maoshan Taoist priest." Zhang Yuying gestures with a peach wood sword.

"You still think too much." Tang an is not an indifferent person, but he is not the kind of person who will sacrifice his life for other people's stories. "If I go to catch ghosts, I will take you with me."

"What are you doing with me?" Zhang Yuying looked at Tang an puzzled.

There was a small flame in her eyes. Tang an was stunned. He just said, why... Tang an coughed, "take you, at least it's more interesting."

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

"Of course, it is because of fun that we can become friends. Generally, no one will like boring people," Tang an said with a smile.

"I think uncle Hei should be a boring person." Zhang Yuying frowned. "I admire him for living on this island for so many years, but he is also very boring. He should be difficult to explain. It's rare that he will talk to you so much."

"Everyone has the desire to talk about his inner world. It depends on whether he will meet someone he is willing to talk to. Maybe he feels that I believe what he says and won't treat him as a psycho." Tang an thought, "If the water ghost was an unknown creature, he could understand it, but listening to Uncle Black's meaning, it seemed that the water ghost was really a kind of ghost. I didn't know what he meant. At that time, he didn't say what his guess was."

"Do you want to tell ghost stories in the evening?" Zhang Yuying grabbed Tang an's arm, but seemed to have the courage to play freely, and said casually: "I think water ghost is water ghost, just look at it directly from the name. Water Ghost... Isn't it the ghost of people drowned by water?"

"Then this is metaphysics. I believe there are monsters that human beings have never seen... Or unknown creatures, or even aliens, but what ghosts formed by human resentment are completely nonsense." Tang an shook his head. "Ghosts can't see light? They are so arrogant in the daytime and come to the shore to catch people."

"At that time, it was underwater." Zhang Yuying insisted on her own point of view, "I think, the water ghost was formed like this... Think about it, when the lion tiger city was going to be submerged, it must have to move the people who used to live there. But look at how many nail households there are now? There must be nail households at that time!"

Tang an couldn't help laughing. "According to you, the water ghost of Baidao lake is the nail household that refused to move? When the nail becomes a ghost, it can be called the best nail household in history."

Zhang Yuying beat Tang an and continued to immerse herself in her imagination, "Listen to me... You should know that people at that time were more traditional than they are now, right? There is a saying that leaves fall back to their roots and people return home after death. Some people think that if they move away, they will not be able to return to the lion tiger city after death? You should know that people at that time had a much stronger concept of hometown than now, which is almost incomprehensible to people today. They may not even die Those who are willing to move... When the water flooded the lion tiger City, these people who did not move died in the underwater lion tiger city. Because of their strong persistence and belief in guarding the lion tiger City, they became water ghosts now. "

After that, Zhang Yuying felt that her explanation was too reasonable, so she showed a solemn and stirring expression, sighed a long sigh and drank another glass of wine.

"Uncle Hei said that the water ghost first appeared more than ten years after the lion tiger city was flooded. It also said that it had nothing to do with the drowning of the lion tiger city. If Uncle Hei listened to your explanation, it is estimated that he would agree." Zhang Yuying is right to explain the formation of water ghosts, but Tang an thinks that water ghosts are underwater creatures after all. It's impossible to change from normal humans. Gene mutations are not like this. But what does uncle Hei mean by "ghosts"? It's hard to say that uncle Hei thinks the same as Zhang Yuying?

Perhaps this is just a kind of habitual thinking of human beings. In the face of unexplained lack of cognition, it is described and imagined by mystics.

"I don't want him to agree." Zhang Yuying yawned, then leaned over slowly and put her head on Tang an's shoulder. "Tang an, what if a water ghost really attacked us?"

"I'm here." Tang an smiled and smelled the fragrance in her hair. "Don't worry. Even if I lack arms and legs, I will protect you."

"Don't use this word!" Zhang Yuying blushed. "It feels evil."

Tang an remembered that for a while, the Internet liked to use "protection" to describe the general name of a series of behaviors of the man to the woman in the relationship between men and women, so she smiled, "you just like to think too much."
