"Come on, how can there be such a powerful guy?" Liu Xin curled his white mouth when she heard Liu Chang's "scaremongering".
"There really is such a powerful guy." Liu Chang said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, forget it. Don't blame me for not reminding you. When it comes to Zhengzhou, you will have nowhere to run."
"Fart, I run faster than you, and you will die first when it comes."
"That's true." Liu Chang said dumbly, "Eat, eat, don't worry about it, let's eat first and then talk."
"Well, I'm going to call that cook out." Hearing the food, Liu Xin showed a childlike smile, and then jumped into the sand cave in three steps at a time. A middle-aged man was found.
"He is the chef we captured, and his cooking tastes delicious." After putting the cauldron and the cook on the ground, Liu Xin said with a smile: "His name is Li Haiyong, a very steamy name, and it sounds nice. "
"Oh, hello, I am Liu Chang, and I am also a prisoner here." Seeing the same kind, Liu Chang smiled at him.
"Huh, I'm Li Haiyong, he introduced me, I'm a cook, this is the one who cooks." The middle-aged man smiled wryly, found a dry place by the river beach, and set it on a piece of paper that was huge compared to his size. Then I took out the kitchen utensils from the sand cave one by one, went to the river to get some water, and started cooking.
Seeing how boring he was, Liu Chang dragged Liu Xin and jumped into the water again.
He was very curious about the creatures in the river, and wanted to see what those giant beasts and fishes looked like—because seeing their appearance, he could think of part of the fishes and monsters in the sea, and thus Can think of the coastal areas, what is the situation now.
Jumping into the slightly red river, Liu Chang dived into the bottom of the water behind Liu Xin, and looked at the underwater world again.
The underwater vision is better. Most parts of the Yellow River are not 70 meters deep, but the light gets darker as you go down. When Liu Chang is about one meter underwater, he can see 70 meters at head level. But the further down he went, the worse his vision became. When he was standing on the river bed, he felt that his surroundings were completely dark.
The aquatic plants are swaying under the feet, and the view of the bottom of the Yellow River is still outside.
There was no light, and some strange creatures living on the riverbed had no eyes. Liu Chang wondered what it would be like in the deep sea.
Holding his breath, he still doesn't have the ability of fish to breathe underwater, so try not to do strenuous exercise to expend his body. Walking at the bottom of the water, Liu Chang saw that he was caught by a water plant just after taking a few steps down the calf.
The aquatic plants were very tough, and he pulled them a few times before breaking the creature's tentacles and continuing to walk forward.
And Liu Xin was always by his side.
After the two walked for a while, they also cooperated tacitly. Liu Xin pointed out those dangerous things to Liu Chang every few steps. Some look like rocks, but they are mutated turtles in disguise. Some creatures look very beautiful, but they have extremely strong toxins. Some fish look very gentle, like ordinary carp, but when Liu Chang catches them When one looked at it in front of its eyes, it saw a row of sharp teeth like piranhas in its mouth.
And seeing Liu Chang catch the piranha, Liu Xin hurriedly waved her hand beside her.
Looking at his expression, when Liu Chang was puzzled, the strange scales on the piranha suddenly changed shape with a "bang", countless sharp barbs popped out from it, and the whole fish turned into something like a sea urchin. It hurt Liu Chang's palm.
"Pfft!" With ten fingers connected to the heart, the whole palm of the hand was pierced by the strange fish. Under the pain, Liu Chang spit it out in one breath, and then he felt stuffy, and hurriedly slid his hands and feet together, trying to surface.
And the wounds on his hands, along with his swiping palms, intertwined into blood lines in the water.
"Phew!" After swimming to the surface, Liu Chang took a breath, stepped on the water with both feet, and put his palms in front of his face, "Damn it, why is this fish so strange, it's so cunning?"
"We call this kind of fish sticklebacks. They are very difficult to deal with. They also like to call out to their companions. Your bloody smell is here. After a while, a group of these sticklebacks will be attracted. Although I am not afraid, you should go ashore. Wrap your hands first before talking." Liu Xin smelled the bloody smell in the water, "When the stickleback fish come, within three seconds, they can gnaw you down to the bone."
"It's so powerful, it sounds like a piranha." Liu Chang smiled and swam to the shore, "It's just that they should be more terrifying. Large water beasts don't dare to devour them at will, with the burrs on their body."
"Well, there are very few things in the Yellow River to provoke this stickleback." Liu Xin said with a smile: "Even if I encounter them, if the number of them is too large, I will hide for a while. Although their bite force is still thorny." It doesn't wear my skin and swims much slower than me, but a group of fish with fangs and teeth that can eject that kind of thing all over the body dangles in front of you, and you will be very annoying."
The two swam to the shore and lay down on the beach to rest for a while.
"You have a good life in the jungle."
"Well, because we are strong enough. Thanks to the red mist, thanks to the second Cambrian era, it gave us a new life." Liu Shui looked at the sky.
"I'm disgusted by this era. It made me lose all my relatives and most of my friends. They all died," Liu Chang said.
"Oh, the difference is that I like this era very much. It allows me to have relatives and everything." Liu Xin said.
"I miss my old life."
"That's because you've had too much in the past."
"Missing the old city."
"Those steel guys, there is nothing to miss."
"Do you have a mother?"
"No."
"Um."
…
A human and an amphibious person, lying on the beach from all over the world, talking about everything, from what they like to eat, to where amphibious people shit, from do amphibious people drink water, to Liu Chang asking if Liuxin can't reproduce and has sex organs From Liu Chang pulling out a hair to Liu Xin, to Liu Xin letting Liu Chang touch its smooth skin...
The two chatted for a long time, and when the crabs came out of the pot, the two were still chatting while eating.
till the end-
"Do you think it is possible for our two races to communicate and cooperate?" Liu Chang asked.
"Individual-to-individual, such as me and you, there are." Liu Xin thought for a while and said, "Dad said, an amphibian and a human can become friends."
"But the amphibians and the entire human race cannot be friends."
"The reason is simple. Humans have no advantage over amphibians. If the number of amphibians is large enough, human beings will have no competitiveness at all, and they will be eliminated sooner or later. Life and death are at stake, so human beings cannot tolerate amphibians, and the same Conversely, amphibians can't tolerate humans."
"It makes sense!" "Chi Liu" sucked a big mouthful of crab roe, Liu Chang turned to Li Haiyong and said, "Master Li, your craftsmanship is good!"
"So-so." Li Haiyong was also eating.
"Do you have relatives?" Liu Chang looked at Li Haiyong who was alone.
"No, they're all dead. My family is in the countryside. You don't know what the countryside is like now. Except for a few places, they are almost surrounded by jungle. It's good if I can run out." Li Haiyong's eyes darkened when he said this. Shen Shen said, "Oh, all that can be missed is gone, and I don't have any goals, ideals or anything. Let's live every day."
"Then if that's the case, you're pretty good here."
"It's not bad, at least eat well and dress well. To be honest, these amphibious people are not bad, including the big guy inside, they are not very bad."
"Well, I can tell." Liu Chang nodded.
"It's just that there is no one race, and it's too good for human beings." Li Haiyong sighed, "Everyone has their own ideas, and if they have ideas, there will be differences. You said that it would be great if the world was unified, there would be no differences, no disputes , although everyone has their own thoughts and lives, they can each take care of themselves... "
"You said it was an ideal world." The amphibious man interrupted: "I saw a word, what is it called, utopia or utopia? That's what you said, it's impossible."
"It's not necessarily impossible." Liu Chang suddenly smiled and said, "Do you still remember the big willow tree I mentioned to you?"
"It..." Hearing Liu Chang's words, Liu Xin fell into deep thought. After five minutes, he waited until the crab meat in his hand was a little cold before stuffing it into his mouth again: "Utopia sounds good, but in fact It's not that good...”
"Yeah, at least in Utopia, you can't eat this crab meat, and you can't kidnap me. And I can't pick up girls, and I'm even deprived of the right to pee and shit." Liu Chang said: "So , differences are perfect!"
"Ha ha… "
The amphibious man smiled and continued to eat.
Finally, after eating and drinking enough, the two wandered around until dark, and then entered the sand cave.
That night Liu Chang slept next to Liu Xin. The bed was huge, but he slept very uncomfortable—firstly, because the sand cave was very humid, which made him feel sticky all over, and secondly, because of the stream next to it. It is very cold in the heart and body, which is obviously more than ten degrees lower than human body temperature. The third is that this guy sleeps dishonestly, and because of the tail, he can only lie on his side. When sleeping, he always rolls over and puts his huge tail. On Liu Chang's belly.
So the next day—
"I won't sleep with you tomorrow." Liu Chang said: "Sleep with you, I didn't sleep well all night."
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I miss a girl." Liu Chang didn't want to talk, so he just talked casually.
Because from the conversation with Liu Xin yesterday, he knew that amphibians have no gender distinction. They don't have the ability to reproduce, and they don't have any desire for sex, so when this topic is brought up, Liu Xin will lose interest and don't want to talk about it.
