Chapter 148: Suspended Chains
As the position of the three of us gradually rose, the cry of the water ghost in "Karakera" became more and more real, and they were waiting for us on the top of the palace.
Because I was too tired, I lay on the back of the weirdo and fell asleep three or four times in just five or six minutes. But my brain was still running at high speed uncontrollably: I dreamed of a moonless night in the South China Sea, a small boat floated between the big circle of heaven and earth, and there was a winter star color, Qiu Shan and Liu Jianguo, whom I was not familiar with; I dreamed of a winter star color curled up in the bushes on Jinqing Island, accompanied by wild cats; I dreamed of a crying voice in Qiongdu County, which was flooded by the flood.
The county magistrates and people who were swallowed by the storm; I also dreamed that on this maritime Silk Road thousands of years ago, the rich merchants and cargo ships were brightly lit and dancing, and under the water, the water ghosts were eyeing their bodies, their gold, silver and treasures, and all the materials on the ships that could be used to melt copper halls. In the next second, a great storm came, and the bustle that had been before turned into a cry of despair. Hundreds of lights on the sea surface went out, and everything sank into the South China Sea, and there was no sound again.
"Short, what are you thinking?"
The weirdo felt that I was completely depressed, and shook my shoulders and woke me up: "Listen to me, don't care about what Zuoqiu said, you are yourself, just pretend that he didn't hear his words, don't think about it!"
"Well, I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy...but I really think what he said is true."
"What is true or false, so what can it do? No matter whether you know this or not, you still have the same life? No matter whether he or she is trying or not, you have lived peacefully for so many years, and there is nothing different from ordinary people - oh no, except that you are always shorter than ordinary people..."
"...Okay, it's time for this, so don't bury me..." I was angry and wanted to laugh when I heard his words, "But I have to be responsible for my ears. What I heard came into my mind, and I couldn't forget it immediately, and don't you think, will I hear more news about that woman in the future?"
"Oh my, I said I'm not drunk, you don't have to worry about this all day long. The sun still pops out of the sea line every day. You have to walk the road anyway. Isn't my little evening tingting crying and laughing, and drink and brag without missing a single one?"
I was stunned for a moment when I heard Xiao Curlymao's words: "What does it mean, is Liu Wanting also an 'experimental product'?"
"Who knows? I heard her mention that something is not tested, and I don't know what she is talking about. She seems to have run away? Oh, don't care. I just need her to drink happily with me!"
I don’t care about the curly hair, I can’t ignore it. Is Liu Wanting an escaped experimental subject? But what good experiment can she have? Didn’t Zuo Qiu say that Dongxingcai’s experiment is for her, but it is because of her that I am the one who appears?
Dr. Lin crawled down from above early to meet me. Looking at the concern that appeared on his always cold face, I felt that this big iceberg was becoming more and more humane.
I remember that at the beginning, when everyone knew that Liu Wanting and I must have had some blood relationship. Considering the age difference between us, everyone thought that Liu Wanting was most likely my biological mother. However, this statement could not be found in any exact basis, and I became a repulsive mentality of this name. So for me, the status of this woman in my heart was completely inequality with my adoptive father Liu Jianguo.
It should be the end of 2010, but to be honest, I have been at the bottom of the sea for so long. I don’t know if it has passed this year. I was 19 years old, so time has been pushed back. From 1990 to 1991, even if I was not born, I already existed in this world.
Master Dong said that Dongdong is very smart. He jumped several levels when he was in school. His education was so high that he was actually more than one year older than me. So he pushed his age forward. Between 1988 and 1989, it was the time when he existed in Dongxingcai's belly.
If Dong Xingcai's pregnancy was to test something for Liu Wanting, and Liu Wanting was really my mother, then Dongdong's birth seemed to set an example for me. Because of his safety and health, I was immediately followed.
But Dongdong's biological father is Dong Wenping from Tanmen Town. If I were born by Liu Wanting, then I should have a biological father!
Dr. Lin took me from the weirdo's back and carefully gave me the space. His hands grabbed me so tightly, as if I was gone if I was not careful.
At the time when I was born, he was still too young. Liu Wanting, a woman, has not appeared in his life yet, so I kept calling him "Little Dad". Why did this little dad insist that I was Liu Wanting himself?
I can't figure it out, but I can't figure it out anyway. My feet are still sore and hard to use force. Even though Dr. Lin pulled me so tightly, I still climbed a few steps and almost slid down.
The weird guy immediately dragged me from behind, and the two of them worked hard to drag the useless crane back and forth, and finally let me successfully meet up with Mr. Dong and the others.
I deliberately stopped and asked the monster to go up an extra step from behind, so he protected me in my arms. As soon as I felt a little proud, the vocal insect in my stomach shouted "I like you, like you", which scared me so much that I quickly urged me up a few more steps, squeezed beside Mr. Dong before stopping.
"Young sister, I still have to save some energy. In the future, it will definitely take some effort to leave."
I nodded and saw that Mr. Dong was tied to the ladder and his face was covered in blood. He thought to himself that although his condition was not as good as me, he was injured in combat, which was completely different from my physical exhaustion.
"What time does it take? Are we going to leave this ladder and walk around?"
"Let your mouse brother tell you what's going on here."
As soon as Master Dong finished speaking, Brother Mouse's flashlight beam came over, and the dragon scales next to us immediately emitted a dazzling luster, and then the flashlight went upwards, reflecting a long shadow.
It was not one, and there were many long shadows projected down further upwards. I squinted my eyes and turned my head, avoiding the reflection of the dragon scales. Then I saw that the long strips were directly inserted into the dragon's body, and the other end extended far to the depths of the palace where we couldn't see clearly!
I carefully observed the long strip closest to me. I saw that it was a chain, and its surface was stained with moisture and a layer of mottled green dots appeared. The chain was also made of copper.
The water ghosts hiding in the darkness expressed their protest against the flashlight beam with a sharp throat. Even if they couldn't understand that language, I knew they were about to get mad. Once the flashlight of the mouse was damaged, they would definitely rush over to death as quickly as possible.
"Dangdang--"
Little Curly could not help but pull out his belt, threw the belt head over and knocked the chain a few times, covering the strange scream of the water ghost "Karakera". He raised his ears and listened to the sound of the hitting. I immediately knew that this was an old object we are familiar with—
Hollow bronze chain!
This kind of thing is connected to the hydatidiforms in the Treasure of the King, and is used to supply the heartbeat pipe. This kind of thing also plays the same role in Yuling, delivering nutrient solution to the Si family and the frozen man. So here, its function should be no different. The nutrient solution that Mr. Zuoqiu wanted to obtain was indeed stored in the hands of the water ghost!
So why should the nutrient solution be transported into the body of this dragon through chains?
I remembered the monster we dug out of the lotus root. Compared with that, this dragon is too big to hide in the lotus pond, so is its shelter the pillar in the palace?
The weird guy speculated that the dragon was so developed that it could still live in the underwater palace. It is very likely that this was the missing dragon son in the story of falling into a lake.
Since there is still nutrient solution that provides him with extremely precious vitality, it seems that this dragon son is still alive!
