Summer of 1968.
At the foot of a mountain in the suburbs of a mountain city in southern China, by a river.
A small figure wearing a blue Taoist robe and black trousers was squatting by the river.
On his palm-sized face, a pair of exceptionally dark eyes stared at the river.
Suddenly, she stood up and stepped into the rushing river.
"Comrade over there..."
"Comrade, don't do anything rash!"
A voice came from afar, a very urgent voice.
Yingyue didn't care.
She walked deeper and deeper, and soon the river water submerged her shoulders.
Only its pointed chin was visible, resting on the water's surface.
"Pfft..."
A splash was heard, and someone jumped into the river.
The splashing water flew towards Yingyue, rippling the river and startling the fish in the water.
With quick reflexes, Yingyue caught the large fish swimming past her.
It is about the size of an adult man's arm and is very strong in the water.
Yingyue hugged it, and it actually dragged Yingyue forward.
Should we stop her from eating?
The fireflies weren't afraid at all in the water.
Her fluffy tail helps her float freely in the water.
Yingyue swung her legs, then remembered that she was no longer a Pixiu, but a human.
She has no tail, only legs.
That can also be used as a tail.
She clung tightly to the big fish, kicking her legs as she swam quickly in the river.
Huo Yan, who had thought she was going to commit suicide and jumped down to save her, was dumbfounded.
Standing in the water, I stared blankly at the firefly-shaped moonlight swimming back and forth.
this…
What's going on, young man?
"Huo Yan, what are you doing in the water?"
A stern voice came from the shore. Huo Yan trembled, wiped his wet face, and turned to look at the shore.
Upon seeing the tall, imposing man in a wheelchair with a cold and unsmiling expression, Huo Yan felt instinctively afraid.
"Big...Big brother...I...I..."
He meant to say he went into the river to save people.
But the person who was supposed to be waiting for him to save was clinging tightly to a fish, being dragged around in the water by the fish.
Huo Cheng followed Huo Yan's gaze and saw Yingyue swimming back and forth in the water.
Having been stationed on the island for nearly ten years, Huo Cheng was an exceptional swimmer.
Even so, he still narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the firefly's reflection in the water.
This woman is an unusually good swimmer.
Yingyue was unaware that she had become the object of other people's scrutiny.
She has only one thought in mind right now.
Exhaust this fish to death, then eat it.
Only Yingyue would dare to think of such a thing.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely think that if this continued, it would be humans who would die from exhaustion, not fish.
But coincidentally, things unfolded exactly as Yingyue had predicted.
After swimming around with Yingyue for seven or eight laps and still unable to shake off its restraints, the big fish finally surrendered.
Noticing that the strength under her arm had lessened, Yingyue held it in one arm and swam back to shore with the other.
As she passed by Huo Yan, Yingyue hugged the fish in her arms a little tighter.
I'm afraid it will be stolen.
The little Pixiu is a protective creature when it comes to food.
Huo Yan, who failed to save anyone and instead witnessed a game where people were exhausted to death like fish...
I'm so tired.
The firefly moon has reached the shore.
The originally messy long hair became neat and tidy after being soaked in the river.
Water was dripping down his scalp and cheeks.
His wide Taoist robe was also dripping water.
Yingyue wiped the hair on both sides of her cheeks with the back of her hand, then hugged the seven or eight-pound fish and started eating.
The big fish was still alive when Yingyue bit it, causing its tail to spring up high and its head to rise, as if it was still trying to struggle.
Even Huo Cheng, who was used to life and death, was startled by Yingyue's actions while sitting in a wheelchair not far away.
Huo Yan, who had just climbed ashore, exclaimed in surprise, "Comrade, why are you eating raw fish?"
He glanced at the fish's still-moving tail, and his mouth dropped open!
"And it wasn't just raw fish, it was alive!!!"
Are you a savage?
Yingyue looked up, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "Aren't fish eaten raw?"
Huo Yan: "Of course not, only uncivilized savages would eat raw food, right?"
"Are you a savage?"
"Huo Yan".
Huo Cheng spoke up, interrupting Huo Yan.
Huo Yan immediately shut his mouth.
He harbored a deep-seated fear of this older brother.
Even though his older brother injured his leg and can no longer walk freely, he is still very afraid of him.
Huo Yan fell silent, and Huo Cheng then looked at Yingyue.
"Comrade, are you alone?"
His voice was deep and he spoke slowly and deliberately, which was more captivating than Huo Yan's.
Yingyue looked curiously into Huo Cheng's eyes.
After watching for a while, she shook her head.
He pointed to the side.
"And my senior sister."
"Where is she? Where is Senior Sister?"
Huo Yan stood on tiptoe to look around.
On this stretch of riverbank, I didn't see anyone else in the nearby bushes.
Huo Cheng was sitting there, and from his position, he couldn't see the new grave that was hidden by grass.
Where is your senior sister?
“She was beaten to death by human traffickers, and I buried her in the pit.”
Yingyue answered.
She explained simply that she and her senior sister went down the mountain and encountered human traffickers. Her senior sister was beaten to death, so she buried her.
I spent two days digging with my hands by the river to bury my senior sister. She was hungry too…
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yan exclaimed and jumped back to Huo Cheng's side.
