No. 7 Fish House

The scales of the shadow fish are highly poisonous. Yang Mingzhen endured the pain from the wound on his thigh and walked towards Zhang Guanhe who was hanging upside down on the tree. He looked at the fish scales on Zhang Guanhe's face. Those scales penetrated into his skin, like small The bug burrowed hard, leaving bloody holes all over his face.

Yang Mingzhen thought that even if Zhang Guanhe was successfully rescued, this person would not live long, because he was the only one who felt the same pain as Zhang Guanhe at the moment.There was only a fish scale drilled into his thigh, but Zhang Guanhe's face was covered with fish scales. It's hard to imagine what kind of pain this is.

He suddenly remembered that there was another person hanging upside down from the tree next to him, Yang Mingzhen looked over there, and Xing Ting was looking at him, "Officer Yang, hurry up and do it."

"Why don't you have fish scales on your body?" Yang Mingzhen thought, since the shadow fish planted highly poisonous fish scales on Zhang Guanhe, why is Xing Ting okay?

Xing Ting didn't answer, instead he hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and save the old man, I'll count one, two, three and we'll do it together."

Before Yang Mingzhen could react, he heard that Xing Ting had already started shouting.

"one!"

Yang Mingzhen quickly climbed up the tree, grabbed Zhang Guanhe's hand, and pulled it to the bank. Zhang Guanhe saw someone rescue him but didn't cooperate, twisted his body vigorously, and kept shouting: "Ghost, ghost! I didn't hurt you, I didn't hurt you..."

I don't know who Zhang Guanhe thinks of the person in front of him. After Yang Mingzhen hugged Zhang Guanhe, he took out the knife with his other hand and prepared to cut the rope.But he is very worried, if the rope here is broken, Xing Ting will be in danger there, why not save Xing Ting, is this really all right?

"two!"

Hearing Xing Ting yell two, Yang Mingzhen put his whole body on guard. After a while, the rope was cut, and he hugged Zhang Guanhe and jumped ashore. Both of them could be saved.

"three!"

After Xing Ting called out the number, the ropes on both sides broke. Yang Mingzhen jumped onto the bank holding Zhang Guanhe, and the two of them rolled on the ground.

"Ah!" After Xing Ting yelled, Yang Mingzhen immediately got up to look for him.

I saw a naked person lying on the grass. He covered his vital parts and turned over, looking at Yang Mingzhen, very embarrassed, "Officer Yang, lend me your coat."

Yang Mingzhen was confused, how did Xing Ting do it?He was able to strip himself naked while hanging upside down in mid-air, and emerge unscathed on the grass, which is incredible.

Yang Mingzhen took off his trench coat and handed it to Xing Ting, "How did you do it just now?"

Xing Ting took the windbreaker and quickly wrapped it around his body. There were scars on his chest. Even after shedding his skin countless times, those scars still existed. He didn't want to expose these scars. After putting on his clothes with his back to Yang Mingzhen, he turned around. Grinning, very proud, "Is it the first time Police Officer Yang has seen the housekeeping skills of juggling?"

"Why help this beast!"

The roar of the shadow fish came from a distance, Yang Mingzhen and Xing Ting turned around immediately, they were very surprised by what they saw in front of them.

Is that human?Absolutely not, the exposed skin is covered with fish scales, even the ten fingers are like fish fins, his movement speed is very fast, but no matter how fast it is, it can't compare to that red line.

The red thread was like a nimble red snake, quickly attacking him, wherever the red thread went, fish scales fell off.

At the other end of the red line is its controller - He Fu.

Seeing this red line, Xing Ting suddenly felt a little familiar. He had seen He Fu's right palm with a scar on it. At first he thought it was just an overly red scar, but now it seems that this living red line should be It is the weapon in He Fu's palm!

"Where is Zhang Suru's body?" He Fu asked suddenly, the red thread tied the shadow fish so that it couldn't move.

The sound of 'sizzling' sounded on Yingyu's skin, it felt like the red thread was extremely hot, scalding his fish scales to the ground.He stared hard at He Fu with scarlet eyes, "Why did you help this person? You never cared about these things before."

He Fu's eyes were still empty, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "I forgot about the past, now I want you to tell me where Zhang Suru's body is."

With his right hand, the red thread that trapped the shadow fish immediately tightened, and the fish scales on the shadow fish's waist fell off, leaving a large ugly scar.

Yingyu suddenly laughed wildly: "This beast that killed my sister ruined my family and killed more than 80 people in the village overnight. I thought he would regret it after so many years, but he actually killed her to hide the truth." dead own daughter..."

"Your sister is the dumb girl who committed suicide by jumping into the river?" Yang Mingzhen took a few steps forward.

"Yes, my older sister can manipulate shadows. Our family has been heterogeneous since birth. Because we are heterogeneous, we have been hiding in the dark and dare not see people. This beast has defiled my sister, because people in the village look down on our family. , to be willing to hide the truth for him!"

"Everyone in the village is on his side because he brought a lot of money to our village and made us poor people rich. However, it is this kind of wealth that made our village punished, and more than 80 people were killed. There are consequences for his actions."

Let him become an orphan overnight, and the only person in the world who loved him disappeared.

He vowed to avenge his sister, and spent ten years hiding in No. [-] fish restaurant, sucking He Fu's blood every day, even if the blood was poisonous to him, he still endured it.

Because someone told him that the blood of the owner of No. [-] Fish House can help him reborn and bring him stronger power.

So he stayed in that cold fish tank for ten years, treating himself like a fish every day to please his master.

Ten years later, he finally waited for the opportunity to escape from the No. [-] fish house to find Zhang Guanhe, and approached Zhang Suru, Zhang Guanhe's daughter, at the Qixi Lantern Festival.

He originally thought that Zhang Suru, like Zhang Guanhe, was an unruly and willful rich daughter, and her personality should be as cruel as her father's.

He was wrong. In fact, Zhang Suru was just a very simple girl. This girl was very distressed that he had this strange fish scale disease.

Shadow Fish sneered and said: "This is not a fish scale disease at all, it's just that in order to gain your power, I had to turn myself into a fish and hide in No. , turned into this ghostly appearance."

He Fu's expression remained calm, as if everything Yingyu said had nothing to do with him. After hearing the story, he came to a conclusion, "You are so stupid."

How stupid to turn yourself into a ghost, just for revenge.

"What do you know!" The shadow fish taunted, "You guard the group of fish that can't speak, do you know what they are discussing every day? They all want to eat you, because if you eat you, you don't have to be afraid of the outside world." Hunter. You raise them with all your heart, but they only want to eat you, it looks like you are more stupid than me."

Xing Ting listened from a distance, feeling a little sad for some reason.He Fu once told him that the fish in No. [-] fish house are aliens. They changed into fish form to avoid hunters and hid in No. [-] fish house.He wanted to ask He Fu why he adopted these aliens.

Until now, when he heard the news, he felt nothing in his heart.

The stranger wanted to devour He Fu, but he was caring for them.

Why does He Fu raise them?Why do you keep them for things that you can't exchange for something in return?

Is it because of boredom, is it because of loneliness?

It was boring and lonely. Xing Ting saw He Fu sitting on the sofa reading a book and sleeping by himself every day, and also saw him feeding and teasing fish by himself.

Maybe raising these dumb fish is the only joy in He Fu's inexhaustible life.

"They have no ability." He Fu said suddenly, "Because they have no ability to eat me, so they can only be my prisoner. You are the same as them."

The red line tightened a little more, and Xing Ting saw that Yingyu's waist had been strangled and bleeding.

"I'm not capable, but I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately like you!" Yingyu sneered, "The moment this beast attacked his own daughter, he should have thought about his end today."

"Let me ask you again where is Zhang Suru's body?" He Fu's voice was still soft, but he didn't know why Xing Ting felt that this person was angry, and the anger on that smiling baby face was still polite.

"I ate her." Shadow Fish said.

"You're lying." He Fu said with certainty, "Although your race doesn't eat people of the same sex, you definitely won't eat corpses."

Because there is still unyielding in his bones, he absolutely refuses to lay hands on the corpse.

That night, he went to Zhang's mansion and saw Zhang Guanhe and Zhang Suru quarreling, and Zhang Suru was strangled to death by Zhang Guanhe in a fit of anger.Zhang Guanhe dragged Zhang Suru's body to the back and threw it down a well.

He originally thought that no matter how vicious a person is, he would not kill his relatives, but facing a scum like Zhang Guanhe, he miscalculated.

He took Zhang Suru's body away from the well, and waited outside Zhang's residence for three days, but found that Zhang Guanhe hadn't moved.He decided to manipulate Zhang Suru's shadow to force this man and beast to confess.

However, Zhang Guanhe remained unmoved, completely arousing the anger in his heart.

He kidnapped the maid of Zhang's mansion to scare Zhang Guanhe, and left the shadow of a "bronze tiger statue" in Zhang Suru's room to intimidate Zhang Guanhe.

However, animals are animals, and Zhang Guanhe remains unmoved.He had no choice but to act and use Zhang Suru's shadow to kill Zhang Guanhe.

When Yingyu talked about this, he suddenly laughed, "Zhang Suru is dead, I manipulated her shadow to kill her father, and she actually resisted me. This is really a big joke, the shadow is more flesh and blood than this person. Her shadow is kneeling The ground begs me, let her father go..."

"How could I let him go! I spent more than ten years just to bring him back to this place, let him feel the pain of the villagers back then, and let him die in the mudslide of his illusion!"

Hearing this, the unrecognizable Zhang Guanhe cried out in pain: "Help, help."

Zhang Guanhe was lying on the ground rolling, struggling and shouting.He is enduring the pain that Tonghu Village has experienced...

Yang Mingzhen and Xing Ting stood there, not knowing what to do.

Yingyu said: "What I want is very simple. I just need him to apologize to the village and my sister! Then I will return his daughter to him and let them meet on Huangquan Road."

Yang Mingzhen immediately said: "No! The crimes committed by Zhang Guanhe should not be punished by you. You must go back to the police station with me."

Xing Ting said weakly: "Officer Yang, the old man seems to be unable to go back to the police station..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Guanhe rolling around on the ground, then suddenly got up and crashed into the stone to death.

He couldn't bear the severe pain on his face, nor the fear brought by the illusion, so he chose to commit suicide.

Yingyu laughed loudly: "My revenge has been avenged, my sister's villain is dead, have you seen it? My brother promised you that he will protect you for the rest of his life..."

The next moment, he took the knife in his hand and pointed it at his heart.

With a bang, the gun in Yang Mingzhen's hand rang out.

Shadow Fish suddenly knelt down, the bullet hit his leg...

He looked up at Yang Mingzhen with tears in his eyes, "Why?"

Yang Mingzhen replied: "I still want to take you back to the police station, you can't die now."

"It's not up to you to judge what is right or wrong. If everyone is going to impose death penalty on others like you, what do we policemen do?"

Yingyu sneered: "Officer Yang, those you mentioned are human beings, but I am not."

"I haven't enjoyed human treatment since the first day of my birth. Why do we need you people to convict me?"

The conclusion of Yangming Zhen's words.

"All living things should be treated equally, no matter what form they exist in the world." He Fu's voice was soft like a lullaby, and the red thread that bound the shadow fish suddenly loosened.

He cut off the red thread from his palm, and handed the other end to Yang Mingzhen.

He Fu smiled slightly and said, "Officer Yang, my mission is complete, and the real culprit belongs to you."

"However, Zhang Suru's body hasn't been found yet..." Yang Mingzhen had just finished speaking when someone suddenly shouted, "Captain! Captain! Look what I found. Ulan, Xie Yue, and Zhang Suru, only But Zhang Suru is dead."

That beaming voice was precisely that ineffective coward's subordinate - Cui Liang.

Several people turned around and saw that Cui Liang was walking this way with two little maids.

He carried a dead man on his back...

Yang Mingzhen suddenly remembered what He Fu said before, when shadow fish eat, they release white mist.

"You didn't eat the two maids?" Yang Mingzhen looked at the shadow fish tied at the other end of the red thread.

Shadow Fish didn't speak.

He really wants to eat those two maids, because eating is the instinct of survival.But he held back because he didn't want to hurt these two innocent people.

He Fu looked at him and said, "Isn't it difficult to endure hunger?"

Um.He replied from the bottom of his heart that his sister had expressed it to him in her own way: no matter how hungry she was, she would never eat human flesh, because she had to learn to live like a human being.

However, those people killed his sister.

The last rays of the setting sun receded, and Tonghu Village fell into darkness.

The wind blew through the ruins, as if someone was whispering in their ears.

They stood in this uninhabited space and looked at the opposite mountain. A few lonely trees swayed against the mountain wind.

If it was many years ago, it must not be so lonely here, right?

[End: The daily life of No. [-] Fish House]

After returning from Tonghu Village, Xing Ting said that he was sick and was lying in bed all day and refused to get out of bed.

He Fu saw that he didn't like to go out to buy vegetables, so he must be really sick.

The genius was bright, and He Fu walked to the market with Xing Ting's favorite vegetable basket.He knew that Xing Ting's mouth was very tricky, so he chose the vegetables with great care. After shopping for a long time, the market finally filled the basket with vegetables.

When the vegetable seller saw the familiar vegetable basket, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Hey, why didn't your brother come to buy vegetables today?"

He Fu smiled slightly: "Did he often come here to buy vegetables?"

The aunt happily repacked the dishes for He, "Yes, that young man really knows how to cook. I thought he was going to raise a big family when he bought so many vegetables by himself. I only found out after I asked, he was alone. Eat, this young man has such a good appetite, he can eat so many dishes by himself."

He Fu smiled so rarely that his eyes sparkled.

The aunt is a chatterbox, and she will never let go if she catches someone who can chat.Seeing that He Fu looks so gentle, with a cute baby face, she couldn't help but say, "That's your brother, right? I really thought he ate so much by himself, and he even told me that if someone accompanied him It's fine for him to eat, it's a pity that he can't finish eating so much and throw it away."

"Really?" He Fu asked softly.

"Of course, I never lie." The aunt teased, "Especially a well-behaved young man like you."

He Fu said solemnly: "Thank you."

Then give the money and leave.

Passing by the police station, Yang Mingzhen just came out of the police station, and he was happier to see He Fu than to see his mother.But when he thought of his sarcastic remarks to He Fu a few days ago, he instantly felt that he was not human.

He scratched his head and said, "Shopping for vegetables?"

He Fu nodded, looking cute.

Ah, such a well-behaved person must not be a monster.Yang Mingzhen said to himself in his heart.

"Go home and cook?"

He Fu nodded again.

Yang Mingzhen put one hand on his shoulder, "Don't go home and cook, you come with me, I'll take you to eat well."

He was very happy that the case was solved, and he wished he could take He Fu to eat and drink.

Who knows, He Fu avoided him and said, "I have to go back."

"What?"

He Fu still smiled like an obedient baby: "There is someone waiting for me to eat at home."

Yang Mingzhen was speechless, "That's fine, I'll go to your house some other day and try your handicraft."

"Well, goodbye Officer Yang." He Fu waved earnestly.

noon.

Xing Ting got up from the bed, walked to the dining table, stared at the food on the table in a daze.

"A burglar broke into the house?"

The next moment, He Fu came out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge, and sat gracefully opposite Xing Ting.

"You did all of this?" Xing Ting felt a little strange, he looked at He Fu vigilantly, "Do you have some conspiracy again! Don't expect me to do things for you again, last time you refused to save me , I will hate you for the rest of my life."

"Sit down." He Fu said, "It's a pity to throw away so many dishes that one person can't finish."

Xing Ting immediately realized that this kid was actually imitating his tone, which was obviously what he said to the vegetable seller!

"You eavesdropped!" Xing Ting was even more angry.

"No." He Fu said, "I invite you to dinner today."

Xing Ting looked out the window, "Did the sun come out from the west today?"

He sat down suspiciously, and a moment later, there was a wailing sound from the No. [-] Fish Pavilion.

"He Fu, you fucking want to poison me!"

God knows how unpalatable He Fu's cooking is, Xing Ting vowed not to let He Fu enter the kitchen for the rest of his life.

"You'd better drink the porridge, don't eat it, I'll do it again."

He Fu watched with a smile as Xing Ting walked into the kitchen with those bad dishes.

He knew that Xing Ting hadn't been sick these few days, but was just angry that he would not save him when he was in Tonghu Village.

This silly cook is really easy to coax, and he calms down after a meal.

Xing Ting, who walked into the kitchen, looked at the plates of dark dishes and shook his head helplessly.

He Fu will never understand how lonely it is to eat alone, because he doesn't need to eat.
