Why does the shark I picked bite people?

Compared with seawater, the water in Yuhu Lake is obviously cooler.

Cheng Jiao closed his eyes, his slender body hovered in the shallow green lake, adapting to the water temperature.A small fish with a red tail swam over, swam around him, and gently pecked at his finger.

Cheng Jiao's cheeks opened and closed slightly, and he opened his eyes.The little fish was startled and swam away immediately.Cheng Jiao smiled, swayed his hands and feet, and swam to the deeper bottom of the water.

Although Shang Bieyun said that, it is really not an easy task to find traces that may communicate with sea water in such a vast water area.I'm afraid I have to feel the bottom of the lake and check it inch by inch.

Shang Bieyun lost his ribs, and could only stay at the bottom of the water for a stick of incense at most. If he wanted to finish the work like this in just a few days, he might have already prepared for sleepless nights.I don't know what he was thinking.

Cheng Jiao cursed in his heart, and touched the mud at the bottom of the lake with one hand.

Cheng Jiao raised his hand and took a look.The mud on his hand was sticky, fishy, ​​and covered with moss, which was formed by the accumulation of years of filth and bones.Cheng Jiao was stunned for a while, thinking about the way Shangbieyun was holding his breath yesterday and rummaging through the mud.

No wonder he woke up yesterday and had to take a bath despite being sick.But I thought...

Cheng Jiao shook his head, clearing away the messy thoughts in his head.No matter how you say it, the most important thing is that I have done the work carefully for my husband.

He flattened his body, lay down on the bottom of the lake, and began to investigate carefully.

Although Yuhu Lake occupies a large area, fortunately, it is not too deep.After the sunlight on the lake surface is filtered by the lake water, there is still a little left, which is spread evenly on the bottom of the lake.Although it was still very dim, but coupled with Cheng Jiao's ability to see things with both eyes, he could barely see the outlines clearly.

But at this moment, Cheng Jiao is focusing most of his attention on the sense of smell.The teacher said that the smell of seawater mixed with fresh water is obvious to mermaids.Although Cheng Jiao didn't compare this flavor, he just needs to trust Mr.He swam inch by inch along the bottom of the lake, searching for the unique salty smell of sea water that might appear.

It's easy to lose track of time while underwater.I don't know how long he searched, but Cheng Jiao still found nothing, only between his ribs and cheeks, his breathing began to feel rough.

Sharks are actually not fully adapted to fresh water.Unlike being able to breathe freely in seawater, the quality of freshwater seems to easily fatigue the ribs and gills. After staying in freshwater for a certain period of time, breathing will become a bit laborious, and the chest will feel a little tight.

Cheng Jiao's chest heaved and he took a deep breath.At present, I have circled the lake and cruised inward twice, and the deepest inner circle in the center of the lake has not yet been explored.If you want to investigate, it will take almost the same time as before.

Cheng Jiao thumped his chest, let out a sigh of relief, hesitated for a short moment, and then made a decision.

Let's do it all at once, so that he won't worry about it.

Cheng Jiao swung his legs and swam into the deepest point in the center of the lake, into the dark lake water.

***

With a sound of "dong", a small flat stone jumped four times on the surface of the water, splashing four points and one line of water, and the distance was extremely far away, almost reaching the center of the lake before sinking into the water.

"Ha, four stars! Let me tell you, I'm very good!" Shangbieyun clapped his hands, turned his head and showed off triumphantly to the only audience: "I'll teach you. It's not about how the stone is or how strong it is. You have to understand water. Knowing what kind of water, how deep the water is, and how much force it can bear is a matter of ingenuity. When it comes to water, no one is better than you and me I understand better, then..."

The only spectator didn't see his wonderful performance at all. He lowered his head and was busy with his own life. He grabbed a small stone and stuffed it into his mouth with great interest.

Shang Bieyun hurriedly ran two steps, knocked away the small stone, picked up Miao'er, pinched his face and looked into his mouth: "Didn't eat it? Finished. Don't learn to talk yet. Wait." When returning you to your mother, if you dare to tell her that you ate stones when you were with me, I, I will..."

Miao'er stared blankly at the stone flying from her mouth, curled up the corner of her mouth, and was about to cry.

Shang Bieyun had sharp eyes and quick hands, took out a paper bag from his bosom, twisted out a piece of golden candy, and stuffed it into Miao'er's mouth.

As soon as Miao'er stopped crying, she started eating sugar happily.

"You're hungry." Shang Bieyun patted Miao'er on the back: "It's the one who got into the water because of being hungry, who made him plunge so deep with a single thrust, and still didn't come up. So Miao'er, be good, wait a minute, go back I'll make meat stew for you."

Miao'er doesn't care at all.Waiting for candy to eat, it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer.

Shangbieyun raised his head and looked at the sun.

Cheng Jiao, it's been almost three hours since he went down.Shang Bieyun wasn't worried about his consolation, but thought that this kid was showing off deliberately to show off his weakness?

It's true, since this kid came back, he seemed to be a different person, very courageous.When I was a child, I was so afraid of myself, gentle, courteous and thrifty, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and never disobeyed myself.Although it was pretending at that time, at least it was quite comfortable on the surface.Look again now!Tsk tsk tsk, dare to bully yourself!I still have a very good temper, and I always look for opportunities to beat him severely, so that he can know that this sentence is not for nothing!

Thinking of this, he pulled Cheng Jiao's robe over, laid it on the floor, laid a cushion for Miao'er, and put him on it: "It's comfortable, isn't it better than sitting on the ground? It's okay, you can be more casual and pee on the ground." It doesn't matter above."

Miao'er twisted and was very satisfied with the cushion, she lay down on her head and concentrated on eating sweets.

After waiting for half an hour, if he doesn't come up again, he will take Miao'er to the restaurant in the town, come back after eating and drinking, and let him soak naked in the lake and wait!

After making up your mind, feel free to think about it.Shang Bieyun looked at Miao'er who was drooling from eating sweets, squinted his eyes and laughed.

"Unexpectedly, it really made me hit the jackpot."

An extremely hoarse and ugly voice, with a smile, came from the shadows of the bushes in all directions.

Shang Bieyun's skill is like an electric switch. The moment he heard this voice, he bent down, wrapped Miao'er in Cheng Jiao's clothes, and protected him in his arms. It seemed that he didn't even know the direction, and his figure disappeared in a hurry. In a dense forest.

***

In the depths of the lake, the temperature is getting lower and lower, but it's still far from the level that Cheng Jiao can't bear.His arms parted powerfully from the current in front of him, leaving a trail of swift water behind him.But for some reason, the deeper he swam, the more awkward he felt.I can't say what's wrong, but it just feels a little strange.

He has always believed in his intuition, and felt strange, so he stopped slowly and hovered in the water.

The lake in front of him was very calm, and the waves gently wrapped his body, and nothing unusual could be seen.

Suddenly, his fingertips rubbed against something, as if being pecked by that little fish.Cheng Jiao reacted quickly, grabbed the thing with his backhand, and held it in front of his eyes.But it was not a small fish, but a small flat stone.

Cheng Jiao frowned, fiddled with the small stone in the palm of his hand, and then threw it away.But after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He knows what's wrong!

The waters we swam just now were very lively.Small fish and shrimp are not uncommon, and there are a few big guys.Although they all instinctively avoided him, it was not impossible to lose sight of him.

And the closer to the center of the lake, the quieter it becomes.Not only the small fish and shrimps disappeared, but even the algae and green stalks growing on the mud at the bottom of the lake disappeared. The entire water area was empty, as if dead.

This at least shows that there is a possibility, that is... the location close to the center of the lake is an environment that affects survival.

With fixed eyes, Cheng Jiao slowly swam towards the center of the lake.

***

There was silence on the lake.A water heron stopped by the lake and pecked at a belt on the ground. Seeing that it was not edible, it threw it away and turned to comb its feathers.

"Sir!" A head suddenly emerged from the calm lake, shouting excitedly.The water heron flew away, leaving one or two feathers behind.

There was no sound from the shore.

Cheng Jiao came up from the bottom of the lake where the sun could not be seen. The sun dazzled his eyes and looked up. He estimated in his mind how long he had been underwater, and was a little scared.

"Have you stayed down here for so long? It's over, sir must be waiting impatiently." Cheng Jiao swung his arms and swam towards the shore quickly.

"Sir?" He stood up and walked towards the shore.Standing in waist-deep water, he called out softly again.

"If the gentleman doesn't answer, I will pretend that the gentleman is not here. Just come up like this, don't be intimidated, sir." He said with a smile, with a little bad intention.

When I got to the shore, I saw my pants were still thrown there.As expected, Shangbieyun didn't pick it up for him.Cheng Jiao shook his head and smiled, and put on his pants: "Not here? Could it be that you got impatient and left first?"

"That's right, after waiting for so long, Miao'er must be starving, so I should take Miao'er to eat." Cheng Jiao picked up his belt, and looked around: "But... is it possible that even Did you take my clothes with you?"

"If you think about it this way, it's indeed something that you can do." He shook his head and smiled, and walked a few steps forward.

But his expression suddenly froze, as if he had suddenly changed into a different person, and there was faint blood between his brows and eyes.

He ran forward a few steps and rushed into the woods.

He didn't run very far, so he stopped.

The trunk of a banyan tree was splashed with blood that was as tall as a person.

Cheng Jiao stepped forward, the roots of the banyan tree were exposed to the ground, and there were some bloodstains, and in the bloodstains lay a flame-colored cloth, which was the material of his robe.

Cheng Jiao reached out to touch the blood, the blood was still hot.

Shark blood.
