At dinner, Hu Dagui went home.

Lu Changhua made excuses to stay.

The fry in the reward column have not yet been put into the water, and the growth promoter has not been used. How could he leave?

After Hu Dagui walked away, he came to the water's edge, and Xiong Bao followed him, lying down by the water's edge to watch the strange things.

Looking at the golden fish in the reward column, the halo is hazy.

He was excited that he could finally bring the reward into the real world.

"Use Fry!"

He muttered softly.

Huh? No response! The little goldfish is still shining.

Use fry!

He thought silently in his mind.

But still doesn't work.

Lu Changhua broke out in cold sweat.

broken!

I don’t know how to use it myself!

How can this be fixed?

He became anxious, so he used every method he could think of.

Standing, sitting, lying down, various positions.

There are also a variety of passwords, the only one that needs to be called is "Open Sesame".

Alas, what can we do?

He squatted by the water, and although it was already dark, he could still vaguely see the dark shadows in the water.

That must be the fry released today.

When he was in despair, he thought again, well, anyway, the system's one thousand fry would not have much effect.

I already have more than 60,000 tails here, which should be enough.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to stir up the water, trying to tease the fish in the water.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his finger touched the water, the golden carp fry that had not changed suddenly jumped and came to life in the reward column.

Lu Changhua was not surprised but happy.

He took his hand back, and the carp fry returned to its original state, shining quietly. He put his hand into the water again, and the little carp came to life again.

It turns out you have to come into contact with water!

He had been in contact with water before, but the fry didn't react at all. Why did it react so strongly now?

Is it because there are similar species in the water? Or is it activated when other conditions are met?

Anyway, the golden carp fry is activated.

Lu Changhua muttered silently, "Freeze."

I saw the golden fish jump up, turn into a golden light, and swim into the water one by one along the edges of his hand.

Lu Changhua really felt that lively little lives jumped out of his hands.

He had a strange feeling in his heart, as if these little carps had some strange connection with him.

But this feeling seems to be there and not there at all, it is elusive.

A thousand fish fry were stocked quickly.

The only thing left in the reward column is the small green bottle.

At this moment, Lu Changhua put his hand directly in the water and silently said, "Use half a bottle of growth accelerator."

He knew that one bottle of accelerator could use one hundred acres of water, but he only had forty acres, so half a bottle was enough.

As a result, people didn't like him at all.

Nothing changes.

Huh? Come again?

It looks like it was done improperly!

Well, that bottle?

He hesitated and pondered in his mind, when suddenly the green light of the small green bottle flashed fiercely, and a green liquid emerged from his palm.

Soon it became dense in the water.

Until there was no more green liquid flowing out of his palm, and the number on the small green bottle in the reward column changed to "9", he was sure that he had used one bottle of growth promoter.

At this time, the full moon was high in the sky, and the water surface was dimly visible with bright light.

He thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes. Mist was slowly rising from the entire water surface.

He originally planned to go home after stocking the fry, but how could he rest assured in such a situation.

He didn't believe that this mist had anything to do with growth promoters.

In the current weather, it is impossible for fog to occur naturally. There must be a reason.

He greeted Xiong Bao and returned to the duty room.

I found some pine wood and lit the stove.

Burning the stove now is not for heating, but for dehumidification.

The duty room is too close to the reservoir, so humidity is inevitable.

The flames in the stove were licking the bottom of the pot, and the pot of water was bubbling.

"Changhua? Are you there?"

My mother's voice came from outside the door.

"Mom? I'm here, come in."

Mother Lu opened the door and walked in.

"You won't go home for dinner either."

"The fry just came out today, so I'm not worried about it, so I'm keeping watch here."

"I just know you won't go back tonight. Let's eat."

Mother Lu took out a cloth bag with five steamed buns in it.

There are several dishes in the aluminum lunch box.

"Mom, have you eaten? Let's eat together?"

"I ate, you go ahead and eat."

The mother sat on the edge of the kang and watched her son eat.

Lu Changhua ate on top and Xiong Bao ate on the bottom.

Everyone and the dog feasted happily.

Seeing that her son had finished eating, Mother Lu packed up the tableware and put it in a bag.

"Mom, it's dark, please slow down. Do you have a flashlight?"

"What kind of flashlight are you bringing? It's very expensive."

Mother Lu thinks it’s a waste of battery.

"Mom, aren't you rich?"

"Where is the money? Your dad will be out of work soon. He wants to open a restaurant for free. Food and drinks at home are free of charge. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you're not a family member!"

Mother Lu put aside her complaints, opened the door and left.

"Mom, I'll give it to you."

"No, I'll go back by myself."

Mother Lu picked up a wooden stick by the wall and left.

Lu Changhua placed a set of bedding in the duty room and he lay down early.

Xiong Bao was lying on the bed.

On this day, Lu Changhua was so busy that his whole body ached as soon as he lay down. Excessive fatigue made him fall asleep quickly.

He was sleeping deeply when someone suddenly called him.

He woke up suddenly.

I ran out the door and took a look.

The fog has dissipated, and there is a golden light on the water.

He walked to the water's edge, and golden light appeared in the middle of the water.

So without saying a word, he walked into the water.

As soon as he entered the water, he felt no fear and just walked in as if he were walking normally.

He saw clearly.

Schools of fish swim in the air.

And the place that emitted the golden light turned out to be a group of small golden carps.

He could feel them sleeping.

Lu Changhua nodded and walked back with satisfaction.

He suddenly saw the watch room not far from the shore, cast in shadow under the moonlight.

Huh? Why am I here?!

His heart moved and he slowly opened his eyes.

He was still lying on the fire bed.

The moonlight shines in from the window and casts shadows on the ground.

Bao Xiong was also lying down quietly snoring.

Everything is so normal.

Am I dreaming?

Lu Changhua blinked, rubbed his eyes again, then pulled on his shoes and walked to the window.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the plastic sheet outside the window of the duty room has been removed, and you can clearly see the outside through the glass.

The simple shed also has a shadow.

The reservoir not far away was peaceful.

He put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

There was heavy fog on the water, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.

Apart from the sound of the waves lapping at the shore, there was nothing else.

Xiong Bao was awakened by Lu Changhua's movements, yawned, and followed him out crookedly.

It also feels like everything is normal.

Lu Changhua was a little confused. The scene just now was so real that he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

He slowly walked up to the dam, came to the position facing the center of the reservoir, and observed it carefully.

He vaguely felt a golden light in the water, and a strong impulse made him want to tug the boat into the water.

He felt separated from his body, and that body no longer belonged to him.

In a daze, a warm tongue suddenly licked his hand.

"Woof woof~"

Lu Changhua suddenly woke up and wondered if he had been confused by the water ghost!

He opened his eyes suddenly, Xiong Bao was desperately pulling on his sleeves, and he was already standing at the water's edge.

He subconsciously followed Xiong Bao and took a few steps back.

Cold sweat broke out unconsciously.

Xiong Bao whimpered and stopped in front of him, barking at the water.

Lu Changhua was so frightened by this shocking scene that his heart beat wildly and his legs and feet became weak. He quickly ran back to the duty room with Xiong Bao, turned on the light and got into bed.

Xiong Bao pricked up his ears and looked around alertly. Seeing no movement, he yawned again, lay down again, put his head on his front feet, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Lu Changhua suppressed his fear and told himself that he had just fallen asleep and there were no water ghosts.

I am destined to have no sleep tonight.

The sky is getting brighter and the sky is filled with red clouds.

Lu Changhua climbed up with panda eyes, but felt top-heavy and fell down onto the kang again.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Hu Dagui came to the duty room with breakfast.

He was startled.

Lu Changhua lay on the kang with a pale face.

"Changhua! Changhua!"

Seeing that Lu Changhua had no reaction, he bravely stretched out his hand and took a breath.

Seeing that he was still breathing, he took a deep breath and touched his forehead.

"Ouch, so hot!"

Hu Dagui pulled Lu Changhua out of the bed, put on his shirt and pants, and carried him on his back.

Xiong Bao barked twice and followed.

The several hundred meters of dirt road made Hu Dagui almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

After resting for a while, we arrived at Lu's house.

Mother Lu was shocked when she saw Hu Dagui coming back with her son on his back.

"Dagui, what's wrong with Changhua?"

"Mom, he may have a fever. I'll send him to the health center for a checkup. He should get an injection and he'll be fine."

Hu Dagui comforted Mother Lu.

"Okay, I'll look for a car."

Mother Lu went to Mao's house and borrowed a trolley.

Uncle Mao had just returned from the night shift. Hearing that Lu Changhua was ill, he also came over to help.

The three of them helped Lu Changhua to the car and put a quilt on him.

The group of people rushed to the health center quickly.

Dr. Zhu saw that Lu Changhua was in a dazed state when he was brought by the trolley. After measuring his body temperature and heart rate, he said: "Thirty-eight degrees five, high fever. An injection will make it fine. Don't worry."

"Doctor Zhu, you have to rescue Changhua."

Mother Lu always spoke with a cry.

"It's okay, don't worry."

After receiving the news, Lao Lu hurried to the health center.

"Lao Zhu, is my son okay?"

"It's okay, just stay here for a few days to get a sling."

With Lao Zhu, Lao Lu and Mother Lu finally felt relieved.

The cool needle water was slowly injected into Lu Changhua's body, and he gradually woke up.

When I saw my parents and Hu Dagui were there, and there was a needle in my arm, I knew I was sick.
