Strange Tales [Fierce Beast]

Deep in the sea, a dark place where the sun does not shine.

A group of strange turtles, shaped like ordinary turtles but with bird-like heads and snake-like tails, lay quietly on the bottom of the sea.

This is Xuangui, and it is said in "Qi Tan Zhi": the mountain of Fuyang.The strange water flows out, while the east flows into the water of Xianyi.Among them, there are many black tortoises, which are shaped like turtles and have the head and tail of a bird (huǐ, a poisonous snake).

It means: Mount Yangyang.The strange water originates from this mountain, and then flows eastward into Xianyi water.There are many dark red tortoises in the water, shaped like ordinary tortoises but with bird-like heads and snake-like tails. not deaf.

A small fish leisurely swam over it. The spinneret's tail was extremely flexible, and when the tail curled up, it trapped the small fish and handed it to its mouth.

The bird-like mouth opened wide, swallowing the fish directly into its stomach.

Then walk leisurely.

One month later

"Son, let's see what Dad brought back for you!" Zhou Yan shouted happily as soon as he entered the house.

"You're back, why didn't you tell me in advance." Zhou Yan's wife hugged Zhou Yan's waist and said in surprise.

"This time I just stayed for a day to check the submarine's supplies. I don't think it's too far from home, so I came to see you." Zhou Yan stroked his wife's hair.

It was rare for the submarine crew to see their family members for several years, so knowing that the place where they went ashore this time was three hours away from home, he was willing to come up to see his wife and son.

"Where's your son? See what Dad brought you!" He said, shaking the plastic bag in his hand.

Zhou Yan's son is five years old this year, and he has only met Zhou Yan three times, but because his mother often tells him stories about his father, and because Zhou Yan will bring her gifts every time he comes back, he has great respect for his father. Also very attached.

"Father, father, show me!" Zhou Yan's son Zhou Nuo grabbed Zhou Yan's pants and stretched upwards.

Zhou Yan raised his hand high maliciously, so that Zhou Nuo couldn't reach the bag no matter how hard he tried.

Zhou Nuo's anxious eyes filled with tears.

Zhou Yan saw it, and quickly poured the contents of the plastic bag and sea water into the fish tank and handed it to him.Only then did Zhou Nuo laugh.

Hold the fish tank and put it on the coffee table, and lie there to watch.

Zhou Yan and his wife also sat down on the sofa beside the coffee table.

"What did it bring him this time?"

"I don't know. I suspect it's a species that hasn't been discovered before. We call it the Three Different Types."

At first, Zhou Yan's wife thought it was an ordinary little turtle, and after hearing Zhou Yan's words, she began to seriously read a book in the fish tank.

The head of a bird, the body of a turtle, and the tail of a snake are three different things.

"And you, do you have anything to say to me?" Zhou Yan pulled his wife's attention back.

"What do you want to say?"

"My son has gifts, so don't you wonder if you have any?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yan's wife knew that this guy must have bought a gift for herself. The corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably, and she closed her eyes, "Take it out, my surprise!"

Zhou Yan took out the box in his pocket, took out the necklace inside, and put it on for his wife.

Zhou Yan's wife felt a chill on her neck, and then delicate kisses fell on her neck and face.

She opened her eyes, and Zhou Yan looked into her eyes, "Thank you, my wife, I love you, Meimei."

Chen Mei put her arms around Zhou Yan's neck, "I love you too."

After all, Zhou Yan has official business, so he can't stay at home for too long, and he only stayed for two hours from entering the door to leaving.

"Let's go after dinner." Chen Mei sent Zhou Yan outside the community, reluctantly persuading him to stay, hoping that he would change his mind.

"Sorry." Zhou Yan sighed, hugged Chen Mei fiercely in his arms, and kissed Zhou Nuo's face again, "I'm leaving." After speaking, he left without looking back.

Holding the child in her arms, Chen Mei watched Zhou Yan get into the car, and turned around until the shadow of the car disappeared.

Zhou Zhou Nuo seemed to realize that his father was missing at this time, and burst into tears.

Chen Mei herself was choked up and comforted Zhou Nuo, "Let's go upstairs to see the three portraits that Dad gave us, okay?"

……

Later, Chen Mei's mother came to see Chen Mei, mother and son, and found the three different animals kept in the fish tank.

"What is this!" Mother Chen was startled.

Chen Mei heard her mother's exclamation and thought something was wrong, so she hurried out of the kitchen, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"What kind of monster is this?" Mother Chen pointed at the things in the fish tank, feeling lingering fear.

When she saw her mother, she was only frightened by the animals in the fish tank. Chen Mei smiled and said, "Mom, that is a gift from Zhou Yan to Nuonuo. It is said to be a species that has never been discovered before."

"Such a thing is scary. You said it is a new species. Will it bite?" Before Chen Mei could answer, Mother Chen muttered to herself, "No, I have to hide it. If it bites my eldest grandson, it won't bite." Alright." Concerned that the thing was a gift from his son-in-law, he didn't say to throw away Xuangui.But the tortoise looks strange, no wonder Mother Chen is worried about letting her grandson play with it.

"Mom—" Chen Mei said helplessly, "Zhou Yan won't harm his son, so don't worry about it."

"It just so happens that this soup is not as delicious as yours, so please help me." Then he pushed him to the kitchen.

In the glass aquarium placed on the coffee table, the red light flashed on the swirling turtle and slowly spit out a bubble.

The next morning, it was already eight o'clock when Chen's mother woke up, more than an hour later than usual. "Why didn't the alarm clock go off?" Chen's mother turned off the alarm and muttered.

Opening the door, Chen Mei had already made breakfast, and seeing her mother greeted her, "Mom, you slept soundly today, come and have breakfast."

"What are you talking about with your mouth open?" Mother Chen walked to the table and sat down.

"It's nothing, breakfast is here. I'll take Nuonuo to kindergarten."

Mother Chen only saw her daughter's mouth moving, but she couldn't hear any sound at all. Now she finally realized that something was wrong, and said in panic, "Meimei, it seems that Mom can't hear you anymore."

"What's going on?" Chen Mei hurriedly sat down in front of her mother, and cried out worriedly, "Mom? Mom? Can you hear me?"

Mother Chen could clearly see the worried expression on her daughter's face, but she couldn't hear any sound, "What should I do, I can't hear the sound!" As she spoke, she burst into tears and burst into tears. Seeing the strange phenomenon that she can hear her own words.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll take you to the hospital, let's go to the hospital for an examination."

Afterwards, Zhou Nuo was sent to a neighbor's house to help take care of her, and the two took a taxi and went straight to the hospital.

The test results came out, everything is normal.

But Mother Chen couldn't hear anything except her own voice. This feeling of being abandoned by the world made Mother Chen almost collapse.

If it wasn't for the desperate expression on Chen's mother, the doctor would have suspected that the two of them were joking. What does it mean that they can't hear anything but their own voice?Is there something like this about deafness?

Chen Mei's mother and daughter saw that they couldn't find out the reason, so they had no choice but to leave.After returning home, follow the doctor's instructions to rest and relax.

In the afternoon, Chen Mei's father heard about his wife and took a taxi from the countryside to the city.

"Dad, you're here."

"What's the matter with your mother?"

"It was fine last night. This morning, I was surprised that my mother was so sound asleep that the alarm clock didn't wake her up. Who knew that she wouldn't be able to hear it when she woke up."

"I heard you say on the phone that your mother said she could hear her own voice, but not other voices?" Father Chen was a little disbelieving.

"En." Chen Mei nodded, she didn't know what was going on.The doubts in my heart dissipated when I saw my mother's appearance.

"Where's your mother?"

Chen Mei pointed to the second bedroom with the door tightly closed, "I locked myself in the room after I came back from the hospital, and I didn't eat."

"I see. Go and pick up the child from the neighbor's house. It's okay to stay in other people's house all the time."

Chen Mei agreed and went out to the neighbor's house.Father Chen sighed and knocked on the door of the second bedroom, "Guifang, it's me." Suddenly thinking that his wife couldn't hear the voice now, he found the pen and paper used by his grandson for drawing, and stuffed it under the door after writing.

On the other hand, Chen Mei took Zhou Nuo out from the neighbor's house, "I'm sorry for your trouble."

The neighbors are a retired couple, who waved their hands, "Who doesn't need help from others yet? Besides, our little Nuonuo is so cute. Isn't it, little Nuonuo?"

"Yes." Zhou Nuo's childish answer made everyone laugh.

"Goodbye, Nuonuo and grandpa and grandma."

"Goodbye, grandpa and grandma."

"Goodbye, Nuonuo."

When Chen Mei brought Zhou Zhounuo back home from the neighbors, Chen's mother had already come out of the room.

It's just that the eye sockets are still a little red, it seems that he secretly cried when he was hiding in the room alone.

Seeing Chen Mei came back, Chen's father said, "I discussed with your mother just now, and today we will go back to the countryside."

"Why are you leaving today? Besides, it's more convenient for my mother to get medical treatment in the city like this."

"No, no, your mother is so old, and she doesn't want to make a fuss. The countryside is clean and there are not so many cars. It is safer for your mother." In fact, it is Chen's mother and Chen's father who see that their daughter and husband are not at home all year round. , it is very hard to take care of the child alone, and I can't bear to trouble my daughter.

Of course Chen Mei disagreed, she was not at ease when her mother left like this.

Later, Father Chen became anxious, criticized his daughter, and took Mother Chen away.

Sitting at home, Chen Mei felt a little sad, she knew why her parents didn't stay, it was because she knew, and she couldn't do anything that made her very sad.

Father Chen brought his wife back to the countryside to live there for three or four months, but Mother Chen's condition did not improve at all.Sometimes in order to comfort myself that I am not deaf, I often talk to myself, and I don’t bother to take care of family affairs.People who didn't know the reason saw this, but thought the old lady was crazy.

Father Chen was considerate of his wife who was deaf in his later years, and never said anything. He took care of the home and the outside by himself.

Aging and fatigue, people will get sick when the temperature changes, which made Chen's mother realize that she should not complain about herself, and that she still has to live like this.

I was also moved by the thoughtfulness of the boss, and regained hope in life.

Father Chen felt that it would be good for his wife to recover from his illness.

During this period, Chen Mei also visited the two elders many times, and was very happy to see her mother's spirit getting better and better. On the other hand, she continued to contact the hospital.

At noon that day, Mother Chen was cooking at home, and Father Chen went to the backyard to water the vegetable field.A tall and energetic young man came to the door.

Zhou Ling knocked on the door of this family, saying that he was a college student who came to have a picnic with his classmates, and wanted to borrow some salt because he forgot to bring salt.

"You wait for me to get it for you." Father Chen said, went to the kitchen to exchange gestures with Mother Chen, and pointed to Zhou Ling standing in the yard.

Seeing the old man look at him, Zhou Ling waved his hand politely to say hello.

A light spot invisible to ordinary people appeared from Zhou Ling's fingertips. When he swung his hands, the light spot was also thrown down and flew towards Chen's mother's ear.

It disappeared when it was in the ears. This light spot will gradually eliminate the sound-isolation barrier that the spinneret has set up around her ears, and her hearing will be restored in about one night.

Soon Dad Chen took out a small bottle of salt from the house.

"Thank you, uncle." After thanking him, Zhou Ling put the bottle in his pocket and left.

After that, Zhou Ling went to a sparsely populated wasteland and set up an enchantment to prevent others from prying.

He poured salt on the ground and mixed some energy into it, and after a while, he felt that something had entered the barrier.

It was a spinning turtle the size of two one-yuan coins.

Then, countless tortoises flooded into the barrier.

There is no way for these tortoises to eat the salt with elemental power, so the later ones eat the ones in front of them, and each time they eat one, the other ones grow up a little bit, and finally there is only one left in the entire enchantment A spinner turtle the size of a room.

This spinner turtle licked the salt clean, and its size grew again.

His black eyes turned red, and he looked cruelly at Zhou Ling, who was only as tall as his legs.

Salt is the food that the spinner turtle likes very much. The spinner turtle who eats salt is like taking a stimulant. If the desire to eat is not satisfied, the temperament will become very cruel.

It opened its mouth at Zhou Ling and made a bird-like cry. After waiting for a while, seeing that Zhou Ling hadn't given it salt, it impatiently raised its foot and stepped on Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling didn't dodge or dodge, grabbing its feet instead turned it somersaults.

With a bang, the ground trembled.

The spinner turtle is the same as other common turtles, it is difficult to turn back when turned over.

The tortoise tried it and saw that it could not turn over and no longer exerted any effort. It opened its mouth and let out a sharp and long-lasting cry.

This sound can easily pierce the eardrums of ordinary people and damage the brain, and even the ground of the house can vibrate cracks. The lethality is comparable to an earthquake of magnitude [-] or [-].

Although Zhou Ling could bear it, he also found it very noisy. He transferred to Xuan Gui and stepped down with his right foot.

The hard shell of the spinning turtle was stepped out of a hole, and the painful spinning turtle stopped attacking and screamed.The body trembled for a while, and it split into countless small tortoises.

The split tortoise is still under the control of the big tortoise within two hours. During this period, as long as one tortoise escapes, the big tortoise will also escape, but as long as the small tortoise is gone after two hours It will give birth to its own consciousness and become an independent individual again.

At that time, Zhou Ling can still use this method to summon them again, but it is very troublesome.

So, Zhou Ling set a fire around Xuangui.

This fire is not an ordinary fire, but the golden crow fire that references the sun, which cannot be extinguished and can burn without combustible materials.

The tortoises who were afraid of fire naturally gathered together again.The circle of fire also shrunk until the tortoise was enveloped in the fire.

The fire burned for six hours before Zhou Ling felt that Xuangui's struggle had slowed down. Then he removed the fire, took out "Strange Talks", and put the scorched black and sluggish Xuangui into it.

I saw a tortoise-like thing with a bird's head and a snake's tail appearing on the top of the page in "Qi Tan Zhi" where it was written that there was a tortoise.

later

Zhou Zhounuo woke up early in the morning and ran to the living room to see the little turtle his father gave him, but only saw an empty fish tank, and burst into tears.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Chen Mei was drawn out by Zhou Nuo's cry.

"Turtle, Turtle is gone."

Chen Mei looked inside and sure enough, the three alike had disappeared, "Mom, look for it for you, don't cry."

Of course she couldn't find it in the end, so Chen Mei had to buy an ordinary turtle for her son.

And the three images reported by Zhou Yan and the others also mysteriously disappeared.It was never seen again.

The author has something to say:

The hot search is "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms"

Instead of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom plagiarism?"

It shows people's weak legal awareness and their indifference. To put it bluntly, people only care about whether they like it or not, and don't care who created the things they like so much.

Some people even said confidently, "So what if you plagiarize, I'll just watch it." It's really sad and disappointing.

Perhaps because I also show off my words, I have paid a lot of attention to this matter, and I don’t know who to talk to, so I write it here. If there are readers who don’t like to disturb you, then I am very sorry.
