Chapter 348 Can’t Eat Fish
"That's great. Put the gift bag in the storage space. The backpack is still useful."
She was naturally happy to receive the gift package, but the situation was urgent, so she could only wait until it was over before opening it.
It rained all night long while Song Anning and Old Man Pan were busy. The rain gradually subsided the next morning and the two met at the embankment, so tired that they couldn't say a word.
"Almost done, let's go back..."
"Back!"
On the way, Song Anning asked Xiangxiang to check Old Man Pan's health. She felt relieved when she found that everything was normal.
It's different when you have internal strength. After enduring an afternoon and a night, Old Man Pan was just a little sleepy, but she felt like she was half dead.
It was still early and the family had not yet gotten up, so Song An Ning and Old Man Pan got into the space bracelet and fell asleep on the ground.
An hour later, the Xiangxiang brand alarm clock rang. Three hours had passed in the space, and six hours of sleep was enough for the two of them.
"This is a thank-you gift package from the system. Take it!"
Upon hearing this, Old Man Pan, who was dozing off in the recliner, jumped up and happily took the gift package.
"Hey, the system is quite nice.
Do you have any too?
"Of course, I don't know what it is yet. I'll open it when I get home."
"Come back soon. Your family must be worried after being away for so long."
"It's nothing. I told my mother that I'm with you. They're quite relieved."
After arriving home, Wang Ying'er brought food from the kitchen without asking any questions.
"Are you hungry? Your grandparents get up early, so we can eat earlier too.
Mom saved some for you, eat it quickly."
"Thank you, grandma."
"What do you have to thank your mother for, kid?
Mother has no skills and can’t do anything for you.”
"How could that be? Ever since she recovered, my mother has been busy making clothes and quilts, helping me collect money, and taking care of the family..."
Even when I'm sick, I never forget to weave baskets...
Having done so much, it’s already amazing.”
"Hahaha, isn't this what I should do?
But after my daughter said that, I feel like I’ve become more important.”
"It's very important! I feel at ease when my mother is around."
"Fool, eat quickly.
I went to learn to read with Ayuan and Ayue, and these two naughty kids even laughed at me for being a slow learner.
"Then you must study hard, mother, and don't let Ayuan and Ayue hit your palm."
"Humph, even if they were given the courage, they wouldn't dare to fight me."
It rained heavily these two days and the children didn't have classes. The whole family took paper and pen and studied hard like elementary school students, even the sick Song Juaner did not fall behind.
After dinner, Song Anning still felt tired, so she lay on the couch and fell into another sleep in a daze.
She had planned to take a nap, but when she opened her eyes again, Aunt Yuanying and Sister Yingchun had already started making lunch.
When she opened the door, she saw Xiao Yuanbao happily running into the kitchen carrying a big fish.
"Mom, I found a big fish by the river. Let's stew it."
"vomit……"
Song An Ning couldn't help but dry heave twice while holding onto the door frame.
I saw a lot of dead bodies in the water yesterday, both human and animal.
Some of the corpses had been eaten beyond recognition by fish. When you think about it, it's like a horror movie!
"Aning, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold from the rain?
Go back to your room and lie down. Mother will make you some ginger soup."
"No, no! Brother Yuanbao just brought a fish."
"Fish? What's wrong with the fish?
Don’t you love fish the most? I love the fish’s mouth the most. I’ll cook it for you later.”
"..."
"vomit……"
Song An Ning's eyes were red and she waved at A Niang.
“You can’t eat fish!”
Everyone: ?
"These past few days, there's been everything in the water, not just dead animals, but also human remains.
Brother Yuanbao got a catfish, which specializes in eating rotten meat, so...
Do you still want to eat?"
"..."
"vomit……"
"Hey..."
Song An Ning's two sentences successfully made everyone in the hospital feel sick.
Hearing the noise in the yard, Song Dandan and Zhang also came out of the house. After asking the reason, their faces looked very ugly.
"I am old and confused, how could I forget this?
I'm going to find Erhe and tell everyone in the village not to eat fish!"
"Yuanbao, throw away the fish, don't touch the river water, go home and take a good bath.
Yuanying, stop cooking and go home to boil some water."
The road was full of water, and Song Anning was worried about her grandfather going out, so she prepared to go find her second grandfather by herself.
"No, you stay home and be quiet. I can only feel at ease if I go there myself."
The family had never seen Song Dashan so anxious. After he left, Zhang explained:
“You younger generations haven’t experienced a major flood, but we also had a flood thirty years ago.
The food in the homes was washed away by the water, the land was flooded, and the people had nothing to eat so they went to the river to fish, and then they all contracted the plague.
If the water is not clean, the fish will be even less clean."
After hearing what Zhang said, everyone's faces looked unhappy. They never wanted to eat fish again, not in this life!
"Mother, you stay home and cook. I'll go out and take a look. I'll be back soon."
"Go ahead, take your umbrella and go out. Stay away from the river."
The rain stopped. Song Anning walked on the road with an oil-paper umbrella, one step deep and one step shallow. When she walked under the big banyan tree, she heard a quarrel coming from the river.
"Put all the fish down! Throw them back in the water!
Have you never eaten fish before? You're so greedy.
We have food prepared at home, are you short of food?"
A lot of people gathered by the river, including more than a dozen young people holding big fish in their hands. They had worked hard to catch them, and it was such a pity to just throw them away.
"Uncle Erhe, we live by the river and have been eating fish for more than ten years without any problems. How can it be as serious as you say?"
"Yeah, what's the dirt in the water? I didn't see it anyway?"
"Can't see? Are your eyes sick?
So many bodies floated down the river a few days ago, and many sank to the bottom. Didn’t you see any of them?
Guess if there is so much meat, will you eat the fish in your hand?"
Song An Ning shouted loudly, but no one took it seriously.
"Even if the fish ate the body, it's all in its intestines. Can't we just not eat the fish and go into the water?"
In their minds, there are no such things as bacteria and viruses, and water is flowing, so it would have washed away the corpse long ago. These old people are just timid.
Song An Ning stopped arguing and asked Xiang Xiang to look at the corpses at the bottom of the water. She found one that was badly eaten by fish and let it slowly float to the surface.
“If you don’t listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences.
Why are you all being so stubborn? You can look back at what's floating on the water."
After hearing Song An Ning's words, everyone looked back curiously.
"Oh my god..."
"Oh, I was so scared, there really is a dead body!
They’re almost eaten by fish!”
Everyone took two steps back in fear. Now the big fish weighing more than ten pounds in their hands became the most terrifying thing.
As luck would have it, two fish slowly swam towards the corpse and began to feast on it in front of everyone.
"vomit……"
"Hey..."
"Grandpa, we were wrong. We will never eat fish again in this life!"
"Aning is right, this is too scary..."
Song Anning rolled her eyes and turned around to see many villagers coming over here after hearing the quarrel.
She had no intention of letting these fools go, and shouted at the villagers:
"Uncles and aunts, come quickly.
Your child wants to eat fish from the river! He won’t listen even when I tell him to! "
"What! He still wants to eat fish! Why doesn't he go to heaven?"
"If you don't listen to the headman, what do you want? I'll beat you to death..."
Song Anning: Hehe, let’s just watch the fun…
