Chapter 185 Zhong Lin tells something new
The cheers gradually faded away, and Zhong Lin followed An Yi to the stream where a few children were swimming and playing during the day.
It may be said that it is a stream, but it is really not small, or it can be described as very wide. It is hard to imagine that there will be such a stream in such a "sky pit".
Like Zhong Lin's small stream in the sky, the stream in An Yi's tribe seems to have no source or direction. It seems to have emerged from the mountain out of thin air, then passed through most of the tribe, and finally flowed back into the mountain and disappeared, which makes people feel so incredible.
Because Zhong Lin didn't have the concept of time here, he took out his phone and looked at it. Although Zhong Lin's phone did not have a slight signal here, fortunately, it would be no problem to watch the time as a watch because of the long standby time.
It was still early at this moment, and it was less than 8 o'clock in the evening. Because he was not good at talking to others, Zhong Lin fiddled with his cell phone alone.
"Zhong Lin, the thing you are holding is called 'mobile phone', right? Can you show it to me?"
An Yi asked when he saw Zhong Lin fiddling with his cell phone.
"Yes, it's a cell phone, give it to..."
Zhong Lin handed the phone to An Yi.
An Yi took the phone, carefully scratched the screen with his fingers, and then said, "When I was outside, I saw almost everyone holding such a thing in their hands. What is this for?"
"It can be used to make phone calls. With it, even if it is thousands of miles apart, two people from thousands of miles can clearly hear each other's voices."
"It's not like the legendary tailwind ear."
An Yi said in surprise.
"It's not just the wind ears, but the mobile phone can also be used for video calls, just like face-to-face speech. With it, it can be used to combine clairvoyance and wind ears..."
With the topic, Zhong Lin started talking.
"It's so amazing, no wonder almost everyone in the outside world holds one. Alas, the outside world is really great! In addition to mobile phones that can match clairvoyance and wind-earing, there are also cars and trains that run very quickly and quickly; warships and ships that can sail in the water; spacecraft and planes that fly in the sky!"
An Yi looked at the dark rock wall in the distance, and a hint of sadness appeared in his words. As the young patriarch, she has been completely attracted by the living environment of the outside world since she brought her mother-in-law to the outside world. She felt that she and her tribesmen were like frogs in a well before, so she made up her mind that one day she would definitely take all the tribesmen out together so that they could all see the outside world. This is also the reason why she lets the children learn to hold their breath.
"You are also very good here. Stay away from disputes, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the people are simple. There is no haze, no sandstorms, and even no pollution! The fresh air can be used to wash your lungs, it is simply a fairyland on earth and a paradise!"
Zhong Lin felt that An Yi’s tribe was much better than the outside world.
"Then, are you willing to stay?"
An Yi's voice was so small that Zhong Lin could hardly hear it clearly.
"What? An Yi, what did you say just now?"
"Nothing said..."
If it weren't for wearing a veil, Zhong Lin would have discovered that An Yi's face had turned red at this moment.
"That's Xiao Luo and the others. They are fishing by the stream. Let's go and take a look."
Just at this moment, An Yi suddenly found a few children fishing by the stream in front, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
"Xiao Luo, have you caught a blue phantom?"
While speaking, An Yi had already walked to Xiao Luo.
"Sister, the eldest sister of the young clan, I have caught many meat gourds. I didn't even see any blue phantom!"
Xiao Luo had a bitter face and showed a disappointed expression.
"What about you guys? Have you gained anything?"
An Yi walked to the other children and asked with a smile.
"No harvest, sister of the eldest son. Not only today, we have not seen the shadow of the blue phantom for three consecutive days. It seems that all the blue phantoms have been hiding..."
The other children also looked dejected.
"Are you all talking about the 'blue phantom' and the 'meat gourd' fish?"
Zhong Lin had never heard of such a name, especially "Blue Phantom", so he became interested in it all at once.
"Yes, big brother, look, we have caught many 'meat gourds'. This kind of fish is round and full of meat, and there is only one thorn in the middle, so it is called 'meat gourd'. This kind of fish is very delicious when fried in ghee! We children love to eat it." Xiao Luo said.
"Since that's the case, you've caught so many fish, you should be happy? Why is everyone frowning? Zhong Lin asked in confusion. At this time, Zhong Lin had already seen that this "meat gourd" seemed to be the kind of fish used by Grandpa Zhisou to make dried fish.
"Although this kind of fish is delicious, it is everywhere in the stream, so many that it is possible to catch it even if we are swimming in the stream or holding our breath..."
Xiao Luo said disapprovingly.
"This kind of fish looks chubby and is quite cute. Can I take a look?"
Zhong Lin bent down and looked at the fish in the bucket.
"Of course," Xiao Luo agreed without hesitation.
Zhong Lin took out a "meat gourd" from the bucket and found that it looked a bit like wheat ears and a bit like pufferfish. It was a little fatter than wheat ears, but it was not as round as pufferfish. Its body was a well-proportioned type, slightly longer than pufferfish. However, the most peculiar thing was not these. Its abdomen actually had three pairs of feet! Yes, it was three pairs of feet, although not big, but it was very obvious. This made Zhong Lin think of an animal - giant salamander, but he clearly remembered that giant salamander only had two pairs of feet, not three pairs. Zhong Lin was very convinced that there was absolutely no such fish in the outside world, or it had been extinct now. It was hard to imagine such a strange fish, which was within easy reach of the stream here...
"Xiao Luo, since there are so many such fish, can you give me a few?" Zhong Lin looked at Xiao Luo and asked in a requesting tone.
"Yes, big brother, you can take it yourself. If you want a few, just take a few, and you can take them all." Xiao Luo was very generous.
"Thank you, Xiao Luo." Zhong Lin said, catching a few jubilant little fish from Xiao Luo's small bucket, and then walked to the edge of the stream.
"Big brother, why did you put them?"
After seeing Zhong Lin picking up the "meat gourd", he walked straight to the stream. When he got up again, his hands were empty. It was obvious that the fish had been released. Xiao Luo's tone was a little complaining. But Xiao Luo quickly continued, "But it doesn't matter. You must be seeing that they are too cute, right? Anyway, we still have a lot here, and what we really want is blue phantom, because only blue phantoms can..."
Xiao Luo was very excited. When he said this, he seemed to suddenly realize something. He did not continue to say it, but blinked his big watery eyes and looked at An Yi.
"Xiao Luo, it's okay, you continue talking. This brother is very capable, and he may not be able to admire the blue phantom here." An Yi said, nodding at Xiao Luo.
After hearing An Yi's words, Xiao Luo was stunned at first, but soon reacted and continued: "Big brother, you don't know that we have a fish called 'Blue Phantom' here. Not only is it beautiful, it emits a blue light when swimming, but it also contains a mysterious power in its body! Children here must eat this fish when they are ten years old, because only after eating it can the body become stronger and have the ability to fight against the unicorn wolf."
The "meat gourd" that seems to be common in the tribe has already surprised Zhong Lin, let alone the "blue phantom" that glows when swimming. What kind of existence will it be? And what the hell is that one unicorn wolf?
"Is a unicorn wolf a beast?" Zhong Lin thought to himself, and asked unconsciously.
"Yes, a monster with sharp horns on its head is very, very fierce. Well?! No, I heard from the eldest sister of the young clan that the outside world is very big, very big. If we say that there is a drop of water here, then the outside world is like this stream. Since the outside world is so big, aren't there any of these things in your outside world?"
Xiao Luo asked in confusion, and turned to look at An Yi. From his expression, he seemed to have doubts about An Yi's previous description of the outside world.
"Xiao Luo, what your young clan elder sister said is right. The outside world is really big, very big. The analogy she made is also very appropriate. But although the outside world is big, it does not mean that there are everything, such as the 'meat gourd' you said, and the fish you called 'blue phantom'. Although I have not seen it yet, from your description, I know that there is definitely no in the outside world, and there is no outside world you just said... "
Seeing Xiao Luo's face showing disappointment, Zhong Lin continued: "Although there are no such things in the outside world, there are more things that are not available here, such as planes that can fly in the sky like birds, ships that can sail in the water like fish, cars that can run fast on land, etc. These are all made by people. And I believe there are many animals and plants that do not exist here..."
Zhong Lin didn't want these naive children to have suspicion of An Yi, nor did he want to destroy the beautiful dream that An Yi had woven for them before, so he talked endlessly about the outside world to them.
A few children were fascinated by the fact that what Zhong Lin said today was something that An Yi had told them before, but more of them had never heard of. Some children even put down the fishing rod in their hands and approached Zhong Lin's side, with their ears standing tall, as if they were afraid of missing a word.
