The old person sits in front of the refrigerator alone, both hands skilled wielding knife, scale scraped off sound and her mouth snort/hum the tanka links, making the person whole body that heard emit the goosebumps. 老人独自坐在冰柜前面,双手熟练的挥动刀子,鱼鳞被刮掉的声音和她嘴里哼着的短歌结合在一起,让听到的人浑身冒出了鸡皮疙瘩。 Stood coughed gently in entrance Han Fei, the movement in old person hand stops immediately, in the room instantaneously became peaceful. 站在门口的韩非轻轻咳嗽了一声,老人手里的动作立刻停止,屋内瞬间变得安静。 Stains the hand of scale and blood stain stretches out slowly, the old person lags behind the kerchief, after blocking from half face, timid then looks toward the back door. 沾满鱼鳞和血污的手缓缓伸出,老人将头巾拉下,遮住了半张脸后,才怯生生的回头朝后门看去。 The bright eye seems like the black gem, was full of the gloss, probably had been polished by the water current unceasingly. 明亮的眼睛好像黑色的宝石,充满了光泽,好像被水流不断打磨过的。 „You are eat meal? Excuse me, the chef is not, if you are really hungry, I can make something to eat to you casually.” Old woman's voice compares with the age appears young, without that old hoarse feeling: „Relax, does not receive money.” “你们是来吃饭的吗？不好意思啊,厨师不在,如果你们实在饿的话,我可以随便做些东西给你们吃。”老太太的声音跟年龄比起来显得年轻很多,也没有那种苍老沙哑的感觉:“放心吧,不收钱的。” Was hearing the houseful stink, Yan Lehe that player did not have the appetite, on the Han Fei face actually to show the smile: „That troubled you.” 闻着满屋的臭味,阎乐和那名玩家都没有了胃口,韩非脸上却露出了笑容:“那麻烦您了。” He very polite opens the mouth, before that gentle appearance, acts like a different person simply. 他很有礼貌的开口,那文质彬彬的样子和之前简直判若两人。 „It is not troublesome, our small town develops by the tourist, helping you help us.” The old person seems like in the words to have the words, when Han Fei wants to see clearly her expression, the old person has turned around. “不麻烦,我们这小镇是靠游客发展起来的,帮助你们就是在帮助我们自己。”老人似乎是话里有话,等韩非想要看清楚她的表情时,老人已经转过了身。 She will stain the scale the apron to take down, threw into nearby pool, after grasping that specifically to be used for the blade that scales a fish to enter , another room in kitchen. 她将沾满鱼鳞的围裙取下,扔进了旁边的池子里,握着那把专门用来刮鱼鳞的刀进入了后厨的另外一个房间。 „Han Fei, you determined that can eat meal here?” In the reality is the player of lifeguard is somewhat afraid, he understood some seeking livehood skills, the river character is also very good, but that compared with the average person, really makes him snatch the person from the frogman hand, he will also violate being afraid/painful. “韩非,你确定要在这里吃饭？”现实里是救生员的玩家有些害怕,他是懂得一些求生技巧,水性也很好,但那只是跟普通人相比,真让他从水鬼手里抢人,他也会犯憷。 „Meets a living person rarely, chatted is quite good well.” Han Fei after the old person leaves, walks toward the refrigerator and water trough, he looks at the ground the scale, picked up a black scale that brings the flesh: „You know that the scale of what fish this is?” “难得遇见一个活人,还是好好聊一下比较好。”韩非在老人离开后,朝着冰柜和水槽走去,他看着地上的鱼鳞,捡起了一块带着血肉的黑色鳞片:“你知道这是什么鱼的鳞片吗？” „Without seeing is so such big, the hard scale, is the great bone snake fish?” The lifeguards are knitting the brows to follow in Han Fei behind, he covers the mouth and nose, in the stomach has the acid water to upwell unceasingly, in this room was too smelly. “没见过这么大、这么硬的鳞片,难道是巨骨蛇鱼？”救生员皱着眉跟在韩非身后,他捂住口鼻,胃里不断有酸水上涌,这屋子里真的太臭了。 „What fish do you have a look in this refrigerator is putting are? What has quite special variety?” Han Fei makes the lifeguard examine the refrigerator, oneself stood by the water trough. “那你看看这冰柜里放着的都是什么鱼？有没有什么比较特殊的品种？”韩非让救生员去查看冰柜,自己则站在了水槽旁边。 The old woman leaves, seems like conveniently, movement desirably, after she takes down the apron actually, has not built it on the hook, but threw into the middle of the water trough directly, making the apron float in the water trough, covered the water surface. 老太太离开的时候,有一个看似随手,实则刻意的动作,她取下围裙后,没有将其搭在挂钩上,而是直接扔进了水槽当中,让围裙浮在水槽中,遮挡住了水面。 „What are you looking at?” “你在看什么？” „We come , the old woman is scaling a fish, but after we come, that fish that she is blowing actually disappears. I suspected that she is when takes the apron, wraps in the middle of that fish the apron, threw into inside the cistern directly.” Han Fei was saying the detail that some others simply have not noticed, he no longer responds Yan Le, takes up nearby iron hook to bail out the apron. “我们进来的时候,老太太在刮鱼鳞,但是我们进来之后,她正在刮的那条鱼却不见了。我怀疑她是在取围裙的时候,将那条鱼包在围裙当中,直接扔进了水槽里。”韩非说着一些别人根本没有注意到的细节,他不再搭理阎乐,拿起旁边铁钩将围裙捞出。 Is two meters width one meter water trough does not know that is used to make anything, inside thinks of full sewage, the pollution is dirty, is sending out the stink of irritating the nose. 长两米宽一米的水槽也不知道是用来做什么的,里面是装着满满一池污水,浑浊肮脏,散发着刺鼻的臭味。 „With this water, no matter breeds fish, is the clean fish, ate the metropolis/can deceased people?” The lifeguards have inspected the refrigerator: „In that is some common fish, no special thing.” “用这水不管是养鱼,还是清洗鱼,吃了都会死人吧？”救生员已经检查完了冰柜:“那里面都是一些很常见的鱼,没什么特殊的东西。” Han Fei has not responded to the lifeguard, his eye stares stared at the water trough, in the brain is simulating the old woman to throw the movement of apron a moment ago. 韩非没有回应救生员,他的眼睛直勾勾的盯着水槽,脑中模拟着老太太刚才扔围裙的动作。 „If in the apron is really occluding a fish, then it will fall probably in this place.” to rub has the sleeve, Han Fei under the lifeguard amazed gaze, put in the middle of the hand the water trough. “如果围裙里真的包藏着一条鱼,那它大概会掉落在这个地方。”撸起袖子,韩非在救生员惊诧的注视下,把手伸进了水槽当中。 Not as he expected, looks that not the big water trough in fact is deep, the arm submerges completely unexpectedly has not traced. 出乎他的预料,看着并不大的水槽实际上非常深,手臂完全没入其中居然都还没摸到底。 „Is so deep?” “这么深？” Could not find to throw into the thing of inside the cistern, Han Fei has to give up, but when he prepared oneself hand put out from inside the cistern, the fingertip bumped into a somewhat creamy thing, probably scraped off the fish meat of scale. 找不到丢进水槽里的东西,韩非只好放弃,可就在他准备把自己的手从水槽里拿出时,指尖碰到了一个有些滑腻的东西,像是被刮掉了鳞片的鱼肉。 His five fingers open to grasp toward there, what may make his complexion change, what oneself catches is not a fish, but is five fingers. 他五指张开朝着那里抓去,可让他脸色微变的是,自己抓到的并不是鱼,而是五根手指。 „That is a hand of person!” “那是一个人的手！” The old woman has been scraping off the scale is not the fish, but is one finishes a job? 老太太一直在刮掉鱼鳞的不是鱼,而是一只断手？ The instance that in the brain ponders, Han Fei felt suddenly a great strength, his arm was bitten by a mouth of big fish probably, the whole person plants toward water trough there! 脑中思考的瞬间,韩非突然感觉到了一股巨力,他的手臂好像被一条大鱼的嘴巴咬住,整个人都朝着水槽那里栽去！ The critical moment, Han Fei steps on the water trough edge, ugly cat in his backpack also exudes the cry, that „big fish” then relents. 关键时刻,韩非一脚踩在水槽边缘,他背包里的丑猫也发出叫声,那“大鱼”这才松口。 The water splash scatters, the Han Fei face distance pollution dirty water surface only then one foot away, he hurries to extract the arm. 水花四溅,韩非的脸距离浑浊肮脏的水面只有一尺远,他赶紧把手臂抽出。 The internal organs and blood stain of fish fall following the arm, Han Fei cares about nothing, he is staring at oneself hand carefully, has a tooth seal in wrist/skill there, is not the sharp indentation, is tooth seal of living person. 鱼类的内脏和血污顺着手臂滑落,韩非丝毫不在乎,他仔细盯着自己的手,在手腕那里有一圈牙印,不是尖锐的齿痕,是活人的牙印。 „In basin is putting the corpse of sudden rising?” Han Fei also wants to continue to examine, after the old person actually another room from, kitchen goes out, the lifeguard also has standing of meaningful glance very much in front of Han Fei, helped Han Fei block that arm with the body. “水池里放着尸变的尸体？”韩非还想要继续查看,老人却从后厨的另一个房间走出,救生员也很有眼色的站在韩非前面,用身体帮韩非挡住了那条手臂。 The old woman has not discovered unusually, her head and face were wrapped by that kerchief, cannot see what expression: „This place is quite chaotic, you go to the restaurant.” 老太太并未发现异常,她的头和脸都被那头巾包裹住,也看不出什么表情:“这地方比较乱,你们还是去餐厅里面等吧。” Her clothes are also sending out fish fishy smell, seems very long has not traded, whole body, besides eye, only then both hands reveal outside, her left wrist section is also entangling the bandage, does not know that is because is injured, to hide something on skin. 她身上的衣服也散发着一股鱼腥味,似乎很久都没有换过,全身上下,除了眼睛之外,只有双手露在外面,其中她的左手腕部还缠着绷带,不知道是因为受伤,还是为了隐藏皮肤上的某种东西。 „That troubled you.” After Han Fei and lifeguard leave abreast in row kitchen, Yan Le follows close on behind. “那麻烦您了。”韩非和救生员并排离开后厨,阎乐紧跟在后面。 Between the halls that the latter kitchen and diner dine has a long corridor, after these diners cannot see , the scene of kitchen , after very as ill-smelling as the stink, kitchen. 后厨和食客就餐的大厅中间有一条长长的走廊,那些食客根本看不到后厨的场景,也很难闻到后厨的臭味。 Looked for a position to sit down in the hall casually, Han Fei wiped the blood stain on arm, all around the glance. 在大厅里随便找了个位置坐下,韩非擦去了手臂上的血污,扫视四周。 This fish restaurant evidently and does not seem like the left uncultivated construction, the desktop and seat does not have the dust with the bar on, only then some water marks, came on here diner to be soaked by the water probably were the same. 这鱼餐厅看样子并不像是被荒废的建筑,桌面、座椅和吧台上没有灰尘,只有一些水迹,好像来这里的食客身上都被水浸湿了一样。 Looked on the whole here is clean, the repair has the characteristics very much, on the wall is also hanging various types of pictures, mostly was the tourists fishes the big fish in the lakeside, then group photo photograph. 大体上看这里还算干净,装修很有特色,墙壁上还挂着各种照片,大多都是游客们在湖边钓到了大鱼,然后合影拍照。 „Han Fei, you look at this.” The lifeguards are pointing at some picture frame on wall: „How does the face of this fish seem like?” “韩非,你看这个。”救生员指着墙壁上的某个相框:“这个鱼的脸怎么跟人好像？” Close to the picture of bar, the above fish is longer is stranger, but most is close to the place of bar having the picture frame, inside picture had been removed. 越是靠近吧台的照片,上面的鱼长得就越奇怪,而最接近吧台的地方只有相框,里面的照片已经被人去掉。 Waited the quick 20 minutes, the fragrance of undulating spreads from the jet black corridor, the old woman carried an iron plate to walk. 等了快二十分钟,澹澹的香味从漆黑的长廊里传出,老太太端着一个铁盆走了出来。 „Waited for a long time, now in restaurant I alone, done is quite slow.” The old woman places on the iron plate the table, the milk white fish meat was been incarnadine by the hot pepper, fresh fragrant hot, making one look has the appetite very much. “久等了,现在餐厅里就我一个人,做的比较慢。”老太太将铁盆放在餐桌上,奶白的鱼肉被辣椒染红,鲜香麻辣,让人看着很有食欲。 Has not seen the tourist of kitchen scene to come from now on, will definitely eat to the heart's content, but Han Fei several people have no appetite. 没有见过后厨场景的游客过来,肯定会大快朵颐,但韩非几人都没有什么胃口。 „In restaurant does not have the rice flour now, if insufficient, I can many make a fish to you again.” “餐厅里现在没有米面,如果不够的话,我可以再多给你们做一个鱼。” „A fish?” The Han Fei lip moves slightly, he had only heard a person, this is the first time that heard a fish such view, felt that fish is not the ordinary person. “一个鱼？”韩非嘴唇微动,他只听说过一个人,这还是第一次听到一个鱼这样的说法,感觉那鱼也不是普通的人。 The lifeguard and Yan Lepeng do not dare to bump, even that was only ugly the cat to look shook the head, meow meow kept calling. 救生员和阎乐碰都不敢碰,连那只丑猫看了都直摇头,喵呜喵呜叫个不停。 „Eats before it's too late, cool was rank.” The old woman puts down the iron plate, the preparation the kitchen will walk in the future, probably thought of anything, stopped to urge one: „Darkness, you should better not to run all over the place in the lakeside, found a place to stay in the small town.” “趁热吃吧,凉了就腥了。”老太太放下铁盆,准备往后厨走的时候,好像又想到了什么,停下来叮嘱了一句:“天黑了,你们最好不要在湖边乱跑,就在小镇里找个地方住下吧。” „Is lakeside very dangerous? We also prepare the night to fish.” The expression on Han Fei face looks very purely, at first sight is the ordinary fishing amateur. “湖边很危险吗？我们还准备夜钓的。”韩非脸上的表情看着很单纯,乍一看就是个普通的钓鱼爱好者。 „Do not go.” Old woman's voice is very serious: „I do not want to deceive you, this small town constructed half to be forced to shut down, was because in the lake had the water monster probably, several people have been missing there.” “千万别去。”老太太的声音十分严肃:“我也不想骗你们,这小镇之所以修建了一半被迫停工,就是因为湖里好像有水怪,已经有好几个人在那里失踪了。” „Water monster?” The lifeguards wiped the perspiration of forehead, he knows that Han Fei comes is wants him to launch, if in the lake really has the water monster, that gets down to court death. “水怪？”救生员擦了擦额头的汗,他知道韩非来是想要他下水的,如果湖里真的有水怪,那下去就是找死。 Thinks the start that unknown terrifying monster, he cannot control is flustered. 一想到那未知的恐怖怪物,他就控制不住的开始心慌。 „Originally this small town is very lively, but also without completing has many fishing amateurs to play, they and night shift relations will be very good, fish the fish to do with the restaurant in directly, we also only collected a processing charge. Everyone is friendly, the boss and investor also favor here very much, but starting from some night, all changed.” The old woman seems not an unprincipled person, she in very earnest reminder Han Fei. “原来这小镇很热闹的,还没建成就有很多钓鱼爱好者来玩,他们和夜班工人关系很好,钓到了鱼会直接拿餐厅里做,我们也只收个加工费。大家和和气气的,老板和投资人也都很看好这里,但就从某一个夜晚开始,一切全都变了。”老太太似乎并不是坏人,她在很认真的提醒韩非。 „What happened?” Han Fei three people of attention by the words attraction of old person. “发生了什么事情吗？”韩非三人的注意力都被老人的话语吸引。 „First is a night of fishing person is missing, the situation that the eyewitness sees is also various, some people said that the missing person fished very big fish probably, was towed to entrain in the lake incautiously, then has not come up. Also some said, the missing person fishes is fishing, oneself entered in the lake water, vanished silently.” “先是夜钓的人失踪,目击者看到的情况也各不相同,有的人说失踪者好像是钓到了很大的鱼,一不小心被拖拽进了湖里,然后再也没有上来。还有的说,失踪者是钓着钓着,自己走进了湖水里,无声无息的消失了。” „Afterward constructed the workers in small town also to have an accident one after another, some people died in the sleep strangely, the body lies on the bed, but the cause of death was drowning is actually choked to death.” “后来修建小镇的工人也相继出事,有人在睡梦中离奇死去,身体躺在床上,但死亡原因却是溺水窒息而死。” A „stranger matter will appear again in the future, the nearby often eats in the lake the person of big fish, the body starts to grow the thing like scale, these people will make the strange sound in evening's within the body, waited till the daytime, everyone examines time, discovered that on their beds is only left over the scales and some flesh of falling, the person does not see, everyone suspected that they ran in the lake water, becomes the frogman.” “再往后更加诡异的事情出现了,附近经常吃湖里大鱼的人,身上开始长出像鱼鳞一样的东西,那些人在晚上体内会发出古怪的声响,等到了白天,大家去查看的时候,发现他们的床上只剩下掉落的鱼鳞和一些血肉,人已经不见,大家都怀疑他们是跑进了湖水里,成为了水鬼。” The fish restaurant only then a small lamp is starting, flickering luminous according to the old person by the face that the kerchief blocks from, some to terrify people. 鱼餐厅只有一个小灯开着,忽明忽暗的光亮照着老人被头巾遮住的脸,有些瘆人。 „In brief, in the evening close to the great lake. Sleeps well, waits dawn to walk.” “总之,你们不要在晚上靠近大湖。好好睡一觉,等天亮就走吧。” „Many thanks reminder.” Han Fei does not prepare to put the old person to leave like this, he noticed a detail: „You said a moment ago starting from some night, all became different, you still remember that special evening what happened?” “多谢提醒。”韩非并不准备就这样放老人离开,他留意到了一个细节:“你刚才说从某一个夜晚开始,一切都变得不同了,你还记得那个特殊的晚上发生了什么事情吗？” The dream holds to come back to life the ceremony in the lakeside, that evening should be the dream preparation ceremony time. 梦在湖边举行复生仪式,那个晚上应该就是梦准备仪式的时候。 „That late is pays respects Hushen the day, to seal/confer Hujin fishes, the nearby depends on the person who the lake eats meal to come, everyone is lively, hope next year good crop weather. Late at night time, in the village the kind of group life insurance the lake idol that consecrates the ancestral temple please come out, then looks for an orphan, bringing three domestic animal tribute to land on the island to worship.” “那晚是拜湖神的日子,封湖禁钓,附近靠湖吃饭的人都会过来,大家热热闹闹,祈求来年风调雨顺。后半夜的时候,村里老人会把祠堂供奉的湖神像请出来,然后找一个孤儿,带着三牲贡品登岛祭拜。” „Lands on the island?” The Han Fei eye winked. “登岛？”韩非眼睛眨了一下。 „Great lake center has an isolated island, pays respects Hushen time will look for one not to have mother without the father specially, had no cares, is a beggar the orphan who grew up in the past, that the biggest problem left late on the body of orphan.” The old woman tone becomes rapid: „These year of life were good, the nearby villages and small towns did not have the orphan and witch Zhu, the resort boss go to the welfare home to pick up a child to come on oneself, result that child goes by boat to ascend in the process of island, fell into the lake with the lake idol together, had not found the corpse to the present.” “大湖中心有个孤岛,拜湖神的时候会专门找一个无父无母,无牵无挂,吃百家饭长大的孤儿过去,那晚最大的问题就出在孤儿的身上。”老太太语气变得急促:“这些年生活好了,附近村镇没有了孤儿和巫祝,度假村老板就自己去福利院接了个孩子过来,结果那孩子乘船登岛的过程中,跟湖神像一起掉进了湖里,尸体到现在都没找到。” „Truly is not a good sign.” Han Fei thought that the old woman does not know existence of dream, therefore put the blame on to offer a sacrifice to at the god ceremony all, that late orphan big probability was related with the dream, even constructed the boss in resort is very possible here by the person who the dream misled: „Means that we have something to make up for?” “确实不是个好兆头。”韩非觉得老太太不知道梦的存在,所以把一切归咎到了祭神仪式上,那晚的孤儿大概率和梦有关,甚至在这里修建度假村的老板也很可能是被梦蛊惑的人:“那我们有什么可以弥补的办法吗？” „Does not know, now in our lake lives is the lake god, the lake ghosts have not clarified.” The old woman shakes the head: „If you are interested in these, possibly after dawn, goes to the ships renting center to ask, there head grows up in the lakeside since childhood, is the resort boss looks specially.” “不知道,现在我们连湖里住着的到底是湖神,还是湖鬼都没有弄清楚。”老太太摇了摇头:“如果你对这些感兴趣,可能等天亮之后,去船只租赁中心问问,那里的负责人从小在湖边长大,是度假村老板专门找来的。” „Good, I knew.” “好的,我知道了。” Han Fei just said, the latter kitchen broadcasts the sound that the shutter was pounded suddenly, as creaks a sound, some door of latter kitchen was opened probably. 韩非刚说完,后厨忽然传来了门板被砸动的声音,随着嘎吱一声响,后厨的某扇门好像被打开了。 The old woman look one becomes somewhat flustered: „You remember, absolutely do not approach that lake, in the evening honest is staying in the room, do not indulge in flights of fancy. Right, the most essential point, do not fall asleep.” 老太太眼神一下变得有些慌张:“你们记住,绝对不要靠近那片湖,晚上就老老实实在房间里呆着,也别胡思乱想。对了,还有最关键的一点,千万别睡着。” After saying, the old person on hurried runs after the kitchen, possibly is because is extremely hurried, her left hand did not bump into the bar carefully, entangled the bandage in wrist/skill to disperse a point, revealed under was passing the meat of blood threads bright red. 说完之后,老人就急急忙忙朝着后厨跑,可能是因为太过匆忙,她的左手不小心碰到了吧台,缠在手腕上的绷带散开了一点,露出了下面鲜红透着血丝的肉。 „The good tender meat, looked like scraped off the fish of scale.” “好嫩的肉,就像是被刮掉了鱼鳞的鱼。” The Han Fei look from is completely a moment ago different, he turns head to stare at Yan Le: „The ceremony of dream is held in the lakeside, this lake is called the mind, the old woman urges us not to fall asleep in the evening, three probably closely related.” 韩非的眼神跟刚才完全不同,他扭头盯着阎乐:“梦的仪式在湖边举行,这湖叫做脑海,老太太叮嘱我们晚上千万别睡着,这三者好像是相互关联的。” „More will tow in the future, the probability that the dream comes back to life is bigger, can we act tonight?” Yan Le mother is somewhat anxious, she does not like the dream, does not like Han Fei. “越往后拖,梦复生的概率就越大,我们今晚要行动吗？”阎乐的妈妈有些不安,她不喜欢梦,也不太喜欢韩非。 „Naturally.” Han Fei put out a paper money to place on the table from the pocket, since he carried the package to move toward the ships renting center. “当然。”韩非从口袋里拿出了一张纸币放在桌上,他背起包走向船只租赁中心。 The entire resort, the ships renting center most was close to the construction of great lake, Han Fei their time inspected all rooms earnestly, finally they concentrated to come to the private bedroom of head. 整个度假村,船只租赁中心是最接近大湖的建筑,韩非他们这次认真检查了所有房间,最后他们集中来到了负责人的私人卧室。 In the room floods fish fishy smell, the lower part of wall is scattering several becoming stale water plants, on that bedroom bed remains to have the big piece water stain and blood stain, some light scales. 屋内充斥着一股鱼腥味,墙根散落着几根发臭的水草,那卧室床铺上残留有大片水渍和血污,还有一些薄薄的鱼鳞。 „Shortly after it as if just left.” “它似乎刚离开不久。” Han Fei turns in the room looks for the useful thing, he lifts the bedboard time, discovered that under the bed is putting a strange idol. 韩非在屋内翻找有用的东西,他掀开床板的时候,发现床下面放着一个古怪的神像。
