Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 16: Win the fish

After seeing the strange fish in the stone trough, Wu Mian was stunned for a moment. He thought he didn't know the origin of the strange fish. He just wanted to sell his knowledge cheaply, but Wu Mian looked back at him. Two words popped out of his mouth: "Yingyu—"

"Huh? You know Ying Yu." Gui Bugui glanced at Wu Mian in surprise, and then continued, "I can't tell you are young, but you still have some knowledge... …”

Wu Mian glanced at Gui Bugui, the old guy was excited for a moment, took a step back subconsciously, changed his mouth, and said, "...well-informed"

Wu Mian ignored him and continued to look at the winning fish hiding in the corner of the stone trough. These strange fish with feathers were originally grown in the ocean waters of Mount Qi, and they were not products of the Central Plains. Wu Mian had seen two pairs of winning fish among the rare treasures that Korea paid tribute to when the first emperor had just unified the seven kingdoms a few years ago. At that time, the chief alchemist suggested that there was a method of making the elixir of life in ancient recipes, which used the bone marrow of winning fish as the medicine. The first emperor gave the chief alchemist the winning fish without saying a word, but there was a small setback when the slave tried the medicine. The slave bleeds to death on the spot after taking the medicine pill made from the bone marrow of the winning fish. Naturally, such an elixir would not dare to be taken by the First Emperor. Fortunately, there were too many immortal recipes for the elixir of life that were circulated at that time. It is much more pity to win two fish than to die two slaves.

Wu Mian and Gui Bugui stayed in the cave for the next thirteen days. Because he was afraid that Wu Zu would take people up the mountain again to find Wu Mian's whereabouts, Gui Bugui set up a few mind-bewildering formations at the entrance of the cave. Even though his ability to use magic was sealed, he set up a few small formations. There is no problem with the law, as long as Wu Zu did not come over in person, it would be impossible to discover the situation in the cave.

The rest is the issue of food and drink. The food and food that I brought before and brought up were taken away by the forest fire. Just when he was setting up the formation, Wu Mian found some wild fruits nearby. He originally wanted to capture some wild animals such as rabbits and roast them as dry food, but he was worried that Wu Zu would organize local Miao people to come up to search the mountains and cook smoke. It will reveal where they are hiding, but in the end, forget it. But only these things can't last for a few days. Although I can't starve to death, the feeling of unbearable hunger is no different from ordinary people.

Returning or not returning to the orthodoxy is someone who has practiced inedia, otherwise he would not have survived for more than 100 years. On the third day after eating the wild fruit, when Wu Mian was so hungry that he was scratching the wall, he talked about his most beautiful time in the past: "I will tell you a story to relieve hunger. I was invited by the monarch of Chu State to pray for the new prince. During the dinner, the monarch of Chu State personally accompanied 100 princes. The wine that night was not bad, it was mellow and fragrant. Hundred and ten princes, big and small I came over to make a toast, and the old man didn't even get drunk. The dishes are also said, the bear's paw is boiled in fish soup, and the entrance is really crispy and fragrant. The only venison was charred over the charcoal fire, and the oil ran down the corner of the mouth when you took a bite. And that fish... eh? What are you doing?"

The more Guibugui talked, the more hungry Wu Mian became. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked slowly to Guibugui. Before he could react, he slapped the old guy in the face, and Gui Bugui was slapped around in a circle, his head hit the stone tip that emerged from the cave wall, and his eyes darkened.

After a full four or five hours, he woke up leisurely after returning home. He looked at Wu Mian in a daze, and after a while, he remembered what had happened: "Why are you beating me again?" /

Wu Mian was so hungry that he couldn't straighten his waist. He supported the cave wall and said viciously: "If you talk about the history of eating and drinking in the past, I will bite the meat off your arms and thighs and eat it. Anyway, you will live forever. , the lost flesh will soon grow back!"

Guibugui was stunned for a while, and after blinking his eyes, he said with a bitter face: "You don't know, I also suffered in those days. When I was a child, my arms and thighs were injured and festered, and I was bitten by flies and wounded. It's full of maggots..."

"Shut up!"

“…”

At the head of the eighth and ninth day, Wu Mian slowly got used to the feeling of hunger. During these days, a group of Miao people went into the cave and walked around. Wu Mian held the dagger left on him by 'Lin Huo'. Gesturing, looking at him means that the people who come in can't see them, and don't let Wu Mian do it.

Sure enough, a few Miao people walked up to Wu Mian and treated him as air. After looking around for a while, the first one said a few words and then led them out of the cave. Wu Mian had been in Miao Village for a few months, and half-heard and half-guessed it probably meant: The white-haired man is not here, how could he dare to stay here after offending Wu Zu?

After the Miao people left, no one else came in. Wu Mian spent a long time in the cave until the thirteenth day. Although he was still hungry, he could clearly feel that the strength he had lost not long ago had recovered.

Not far away, Gui Bugui was looking over here with a strange look, when Wu Mian was also turning his head to look at him. When the two eyes met, Wu Mian's hand suddenly flashed an arc. Gui Bugui's expression changed drastically, he turned around and ran towards the entrance of the cave. But just as he turned around, and before he could move his legs, he heard a "stab" from behind, and an electric light hit him, hitting the back of the back, the old guy fell to the ground and trembled for a while, before restarting. He got up from the ground and said to Wu Mian with a bitter face: "You must do this to know that your ability has returned?"

Wu Mian let out a long sigh, walked to Gui Bugui's side, gave a rare smile, and said, "I'll see if you will dare to show off in front of me in the future." After speaking, he directly stepped over Gui Bugui. , staggered toward the direction of the hole.

Looking at Wu Mian's back, Gui Bugui silently made a "Bah!" mouth shape, and then said to the air: "The old man surnamed Xu - is this all good for you? "

After Wu Mian left the cave, his eyebrows suddenly twitched, the thumb and index finger of his right hand pinched each other, and an electric spark came out from between his fingers. The electric spark turned into an arc in the blink of an eye, hitting the bushes not far away. A wild rabbit fell out of the bushes, twitched a few times, and then fell straight to the ground, motionless.

Wu Mian walked over and threw the dead rabbit to Gui Bugui, who walked out of the cave behind him, and said, "Make a fire to bake the rabbit, remember, it will taste like bear's paw—"

Four days later, on the edge of the big pool below the waterfall, an old man and a young man with white hair appeared. The old man was wandering back and forth on the edge of the water pool, as if he was looking for something, and the white-haired young man not far from him was holding a stone trough, which was full of strange fish swimming around. If there were experts on the spot It can be seen that the strange fish in the stone trough is the Ying fish recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Even the scorpionfish and the stone trough weighed a few hundred pounds, but the young man was like holding a box wrapped in paper, and he couldn't see any effort. The two of them wandered around the nearby Miao Village in the morning, but strangely, not a single person was found in the dozen or so Miao Villages nearby.

The two were Gui Bugui and Wu Mian, who were supposed to go down the mountain the night before. But when approaching the foot of the mountain, Wugui suddenly stopped Wu Mian, he tilted his head, as if he didn't understand something, stood in front of Wu Mian and said, "No, it's been down for so long, I'm thinking about it. How can I meet a few waves of Miao people who set up cards. I haven't met a single one, it's not like this Wuzu's style."

At this time, Wu Mian also tasted the taste. He followed the words of returning home and said: "You mean they set up an ambush below?"

"Not necessarily" Gui Bugui squinted his eyes, glanced in the direction of the big water pool, and then said: "It may also be that something has changed on Wu Zu's side, and he can no longer care about our side."

Wu Mian couldn't stand his scheming expression, squinted his eyes and said, "Let's be honest, what do you mean?"

"Go back and have a look" Gui Bugui saw Wu Mian's expression, took two steps back, calculated to avoid Wu Mian's arm-length distance, and then continued: "Go back and see... Maybe there is something cheap. It can be accounted for or maybe..."
