Chapter 676 Eating Water-Buried Fish (1st Update)
"Splash—splash—"
For a while.
The sound of the water flowing on the surface of the pond was divided into two parts: one was the sound of Qin An and his men paddling with wooden oars, and the other was the sound of the fish in the water burial pond devouring their own kind.
To Qin An's surprise,
After boarding the raft.
Yang Lele then took the other paddle and rowed with great effort. In addition, Yang Lele had taken the inner core of the Centipede Python, so her rhythm was barely able to keep up with the frequency of Qin An's rowing.
Why is Lele working so hard?
Zhang Sitian was quite puzzled.
Jiang Liuli said calmly, "You don't understand, do you? When you're on a raft, you're always curious about those heads hanging in mid-air. If you're rowing, you can focus on rowing and won't want to look at those heads, so you don't have nightmares."
Hear this.
Zhang Sitian was still somewhat skeptical.
While people are naturally curious, surely they can't be so uncontrollable?
Unfortunately,
Everyone thinks that way!
But when real curiosity takes hold, no one can control themselves, with heads hanging around them only three to five meters above the water.
And they're densely packed!
Often, the raft would pass directly beneath these suspended heads. Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan kept their heads down, but soon they couldn't suppress their curiosity.
What would a head that has been hanging for five thousand years look like?
Once this thought has surfaced in your mind, it's impossible to shake it off.
Just as the raft had traveled to two-thirds of the way across the pond, Xie Wenjing finally couldn't resist her curiosity and looked up.
That one glance was enough to turn Xie Wenjing's face pale instantly!
The head hanging there had skin and flesh on its face that looked like the flesh of a dried longan, and two dark eyes that resembled black jujube kernels. Messy hair hung down on the dark head, and the rope was tightly wrapped around its neck to prevent the head from falling into the pond.
Xie Wenjing thought to herself, if her head had turned into this, she might as well have fed it to the fish!
Immediately following was a strong urge to vomit.
She was curious why the person's face had turned dry instead of being eaten clean by maggots. Could it be that there was no air inside before?
But how do these fish survive without air?
Xie Wenjing had many doubts in her mind.
Before she could figure it out, the raft had already reached the shore. Qin An and Yang Lele were rowing so fast that even Gu Yang and Eagle Eye's boats were still far behind.
Everyone disembarked.
Only Xie Wenjing remained on the boat.
"Wenjing? What's wrong?"
Xie Wenjing's best friend, Wang Yanyan, noticed that Xie Wenjing's expression was a little off and quickly went to help her off the boat. But as soon as Xie Wenjing's feet touched the ground, her body went completely limp in Wang Yanyan's arms.
The gruesome sight of that severed head lingered in her mind.
Now, when I close my eyes... it's as if I can see that dried-up head.
"You looked up?"
Jiang Liuli came up and patted Xie Wenjing on the back.
Xie Wenjing nodded weakly.
Jiang Liuli sighed and said nothing more.
The other girls were a little worried when they saw this, but they were mostly relieved to have survived the ordeal. Fortunately, they didn't look up.
"I guarantee Meng Yu and the others will all look up!"
Zhang Sitian said with an air of certainty.
"No way! I bet they didn't see it," Yang Lele said, judging others by her own standards.
She felt that if she could think of using rowing to distract herself, then others certainly could too.
Zhang Sitian retorted, "Fine! Let's make a bet!"
Yang Lele looked completely bewildered. "What are we betting on?"
Zhang Sitian whispered something in her ear, and Yang Lele's complexion gradually changed from fair to slightly red, and then to completely red.
"This...this isn't a good idea, is it?"
Yang Lele feigned reluctance while simultaneously welcoming the offer.
"that's all!"
Zhang Sitian made a decisive decision.
After a while.
The raft that Gu Yang and Eagle Eye had rowed over also reached the shore. After the group got off the boat, Zhang Sitian and Yang Lele quickly went over to them.
“Meng Yu! Did any of you look up at the heads just now?” Zhang Sitian scanned Meng Yu and Eagle Eye with her eyes.
Hear this.
Meng Yu nodded, her face pale.
Then the others nodded in agreement.
It's obvious... everyone on their team watched it!
And he looked quite frightened.
Zhang Sitian, beaming with delight, pulled Yang Lele aside and danced excitedly, "Hehe~ I won! Brother Qin An has to play with me first..."
............................
the other side.
Seeing that everyone looked a little unwell, Qin An suggested that they rest and drink some water on the shore for a while.
But Xie Wenjing pleaded repeatedly upon hearing the word "water":
"Brother Qin An... how about we walk a little further in before stopping to rest? It's a bit disgusting here."
As soon as these words came out.
Gu Yang and Eagle Eye, who had looked up at the head, echoed each other.
Seeing this, Qin An nodded, indicating that they should continue forward.
The group then followed Qin An without stopping, eager to leave as soon as possible. They really didn't want to see the fish and water here a second time!
But after walking a few steps along the edge of the pond...
Then everyone saw a bronze cauldron that was as big as a basin, and around the cauldron were several stone benches carved from stone.
Qin An leaned closer to take a look.
The bottom of the bronze cauldron was completely black.
It looks like some kind of food was cooked inside, but because it wasn't finished and it's been around for so long, the food gradually spoiled, turned black, and stuck to the bronze cauldron.
"Brother Qin An... what's in there?" Yang Lele didn't dare to go closer to look, so she could only shrink back and ask Qin An.
Qin An said, "If I'm not mistaken... those who invented the water burial fish cooked food in this bronze cauldron, and the food was the water burial fish from this pond."
I heard the term "fish burial in water" again.
The archaeological team members all felt nauseous.
But what's even more disgusting is that these people actually eat fish that are made from human flesh! How is that any different from eating human flesh directly?
At this time.
Shao Wei suddenly said in a calm tone, "It's different. I read in an ancient book that fish that grow up eating human flesh have more delicious meat, and the fish soup is so delicious that it makes your eyebrows fall off! Many people even drank the fish soup and didn't eat the fish meat at one point."
As soon as these words came out.
The members of the archaeological team all moved away from Shao Wei.
no.......
What kind of rubbish books do these old men usually read?
