Chapter 397 18, Habits (Part )

Due to illness, Song Wenbin stayed in the Northeast until the end of the year. His body seemed to be stretched to the limit due to the constant travel. At this time, he always had recurring fevers and colds.

On the occasion of the new year, the three of them brought some fruits and gifts and followed Director Liu to the old man's home he mentioned.

The old man's family is not rich, but it is relatively well-off. The old man's grandson received them. They were very solemn about the program crew's visit. The house was filled with many snacks and preserved fruits early in the morning.

Sutina was not interested in the nature of this visit, but she was very interested in other people's frozen pears and kept kneading them. Huo Yuhe led Song Wenbin straight to the inner hall, where centenarian Zhang Yuanming was resting on a recliner.

Seeing Song Wenbin come in, his hazy eyes showed a glint of light, and he slowly sat up from the chair. Song Wenbin quickly stepped forward to support him.

After hearing the three people's intentions, the old man let out a long sigh.

"Ah, dragon."

Then there was a long, long silence, so long that Huo Yu, who was holding a small notebook, could not sit still and kept winking at Song Wenbin next to him.

Only then did the old man Zhang Yuanming break away from the long and long memories. He said: "That was when I was seven years old... After feeding the cows in the cowshed, I saw the village chief and his people carrying water. Teams of people were walking out of the village, and I didn’t know what they were going to do, so I asked my second uncle, who told me that they were going to save the dragon.”

The old man's words were accented, and it took some effort to distinguish them clearly, but Song Wenbin couldn't help but get goosebumps when he heard them clearly.

"Save the dragon?" Huo Yu's ears almost touched the old man's face.

"Ah...yeah...I was young at that time, so I joined in the fun and picked up a small basin of water. I followed the second master...we were in the reed swamp at the mouth of the river. A big, black dragon was lying on the ground. He was moaning non-stop."

Huo Yu's eyes widened and he quickly wrote it down in his hand.

"Moo, are you sure it's not a cow?" Sutina refused to enter the house, holding a frozen pear, leaning against the door and pouting.

The old man didn't answer, he was lost in memories again.

After reminiscing for a long time, the old man said slowly: "The village chief and the people in the village poured buckets of water on the dragon. The dragon's scales just made a squeaking sound. Stop, it’s full of flies.”

The old man's words made Song Wenbin couldn't help but frown. He had never seen that kind of scene, but just thinking about it made him feel disgusting.

"Flies, do they smell?" Huo Yu listened very attentively.

"Yes, it's very big and fishy." The old man said immediately: "I can't forget the smell to this day. It's fishy, ​​very fishy. I've never smelled that smell elsewhere."

"How big is that dragon?"

Huo Yu asked while suppressing his excitement.

"It's about ten meters. I don't know how big it is. The second master didn't let me get too close. They built a shed nearby to block the sun." The old man said slowly.

"When did it happen?" Huo Yu asked immediately: "Spring, summer, autumn?"

"I can't remember clearly, it's been too long..."

The old man recalled it for a long time and felt a little depressed.

"Probably a beached whale."

Sutina said casually from behind.

The old man still didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard anything at all, he was dumb and sluggish. Until Huo Yu asked: "Old man, could it be a whale?"

The old man suddenly came to his senses and shook his head: "My second uncle and third uncle are all begging for food in the sea. I have also been on a boat. The whales have no scales."

Sutina's eyes widened while she was chewing a frozen pear.

"It has scales, and what else? Does it have claws?"

Huo Yu took a notebook and took shorthand.

"Yes, four." The old man recalled: "But they are all buried in the soil and are very heavy. They also have horns and beards, just like the ones in our New Year pictures."

"What happened next?" Huo Yu asked again.

"Then there was a heavy rain and the dragon disappeared."

"rainstorm?"

"Yes, there was lightning, thunder, and heavy rain. After the rain, I originally wanted to take my friends from the same village to see the dragon, but the dragon was gone, and a long line of marks was left on the ground."

Hearing this, Sutina, who was chewing a frozen pear, stopped moving, her brows furrowed as much as the wrinkles on an old man's face. The centenarian is indeed dim-sighted, but when he recalls this incident from his childhood, it is as clear as recalling what happened yesterday. There was a strange sense of reality in it that she couldn't accept for a while.

"Do you know about the falling dragon incident? The train station incident." Huo Yu asked again.

"Some people have asked me about that matter, and many people have interviewed me. But I don't know about that matter, and I haven't experienced it, so I dare not say anything." Zhang Yuanming said slowly.

Huo Yu wanted to ask more questions, but Song Wenbin saw his grandson outside the door looking towards the back room from time to time with a concerned expression. He knew in his heart that he was worried that his grandpa would be exhausted from communicating with others for a long time, so he said to Huo Yu: "Grandpa Zhang, it's time for him to rest. I think we can stop asking here today and come back later if we have any questions."

Huo Yu woke up, closed the notebook with some regret, and said, "Thanks for sharing, grandpa, you can rest first."

The brief interview ended quickly. The grandson outside the door hurried in, wiped the drool from the old man's mouth, and tucked in his somewhat messy blanket.

But the old man didn't realize it. He subconsciously held his grandson's hand, looked at Huo Yu and Song Wenbin, and said with unfinished thoughts: "My second master was fishing at that time. I was also curious at that time and asked my second master what the dragon was like." What is it? Second Master told me that the dragon is the king of fish."

Song Wenbin, who was already about to leave, was stunned.

"King of Fishes?" he asked.

"Well, when the dragon swims in the water, there are many fish around it. The dragon doesn't eat those fish. Instead, the fish eat the mucus on the dragon's body."

"Is it the fishy one?" Huo Yu asked in surprise.

"what??"

The old man seemed not to hear Huo Yu's question clearly.

Song Wenbin saw the old man's eyes were dim and understood that his energy was low. He really didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he quickly pulled Huo Yu out of the inner room. After saying goodbye to the old man's family, the three of them re-entered the cold streets.

"what??"

As soon as she went out, Sutina couldn't wait to make abstract sounds.

"Does this guy know what he just said? Good guy, dragons don't eat fish, so what does a dragon eat in the water? It eats nothing and can it grow to ten meters?"

Song Wenbin and Huo Yu didn't know how to answer. This interview was really unbelievable, and the content of the interview was far beyond common sense.

Sutina was almost going crazy, "According to this guy's words, is a dragon a reptile or an amphibian? It has scales, long legs, and can fly."

"That's a dragon."

Huo Yu said longingly: "We can ascend to the sky at the spring equinox and dive into the abyss at the autumn equinox. How can we imagine it?"

Unlike Huo Yu, who was full of romance at the moment, Sutina was much more pragmatic. She said: "Such a creature cannot exist. If you want to say that a dragon ascends to the sky, then why does the dragon ascend to the sky? What is it for? Seeking a mate. I don’t believe it, it’s so ridiculous, the old man’s words are almost like talking in his sleep, he just opens his mouth.”

"I think Mr. Zhang is just talking about what he saw when he was young. There is no need to say that. He is over 100 years old and has no reason to lie to us." Song Wenbin said.

"He said fish have legs." Sutina shouted.

"Uh..." Song Wenbin thought about that scene, and it was indeed a bit strange.

"What's wrong with fish having legs? Platypuses also have duckbills."

Huo Yu couldn't help complaining that now that she had the endorsement of her uncle, she was more confident and showed no timidity in front of Sutina.

"No, Huo Yu, you really believe this thing exists."

Sutina sighed: "He said that dragons don't eat fish, and he also said that dragons are ten meters long. According to what he said, what can dragons eat to grow to ten meters?"

"Blue whales also eat shrimps! They said that when we went to the North Pole!" Song Wenbin thought of what he had seen and couldn't help but share.

"Yes!" Huo Yu looked at Song Wenbin with admiration, "Blue whales also eat shrimps!"

Sutina became anxious and argued loudly: "The blue whale eats shrimp because there are scale shrimps everywhere in its ecological environment!! That's why the whale can grow so big, but according to these witness reports, the dragon seems to be a freshwater species Creatures, how do freshwater fishes grow so big?!" ˆ ˆ ˆ "Uh... I was just talking casually, I don't understand anything, you know." Song Wenbin immediately withered.

Huo Yu was dissatisfied and asked: "What did you say before, paddlefish, what do you eat?"

"Hey! You can't ask me about this. Although sturgeons will live on insects and snails when they are young, when they grow up, they will eat grass carp, silver carp and other freshwater fishes!"

Sutina proudly showed off her amazing memory.

"All right…"

Huo Yu lengthened his tone.

"Although paddlefish are extinct, they are still part of the food chain. As for things like dragons."

Sutina spread her hands, "I really don't know which link in the food chain it is in. If I put it bluntly, a creature of this size must be a top consumer, but from what Uncle Zhang said, it seems to be a provider. Similar."

"Then you think Mr. Zhang Yuanming is lying."

"I didn't say that, but I think this kind of thing is unverifiable. Just like UFO, it is part of the unsolved mystery." Sutina talked eloquently.

"That's not what you said before." Huo Yu was surprised.

"What did I say before?" Sutina asked.

"Just say it doesn't exist."

"Of course it doesn't exist, what are you thinking about."

Sutina said angrily: "I don't know why this thing can fly, and I don't know what it eats to grow so big. How do you expect me to believe that this thing exists?"

"Anyway, no matter what you say, I believe it."

Huo Yu said with a pious look and clasped his hands: "Somewhere in the world, there must be a creature that we can't understand that can fly and swim."

"what!!!"

Su Tina was so angry that she said loudly: "I misjudged you, Huo Yu, you are actually working with the investors!!"

Song Wenbin didn't understand why his two female colleagues always had to quarrel over such things. This feeling is like quarreling over "how to divide it if you win one million", but the shadow of one million is not there yet.

"Stop arguing. What's the point of arguing about this kind of thing."

Song Wenbin said.

But no one listened to him at all.

"Eh??"

Huo Yu was puzzled: "How come I'm with her? Just because I believe in dragons? She and I are both women."

"No!!! Listen to me!!!"

Sutina explained loudly: "Physics is ruthless and will not change because of your beliefs. If you make up a non-existent creature out of thin air just because you believe in it, then you should write novels and not film shows! ! As hosts, we must be objective and fair!!"

"Okay, okay, even if you are right, I still believe that what the old man said is true. Science is only a part of the world, not all of it!" Huo Yu said nonchalantly.

"What!? Dum!! Holy shit, science is currently the only effective and true way for humans to understand the world! Can other things change the world!?"

Song Wenbin saw Sutina getting more and more excited, so he quickly grabbed her and said, "If you really think that dragons don't exist, wouldn't it be outrageous to argue over something that doesn't exist?"

Sutina was stunned for a few seconds and couldn't help but blush: "Are you also facing her!? Do you also think there is such a thing?"

"No, I didn't say that!"

"Then what are you arguing with here?! These are different positions, do you understand?"

Huo Yu twisted his neck and said, "I believe you, what can you do to me?"

Sutina's fierce saliva sprayed on Song Wenbin's face. He couldn't help but wipe the saliva on his face and said patiently: "I just don't understand why you guys have to argue about your position. If the dragon does not exist objectively, then the position is Does it exist objectively? I mean, there is no substance in the world, let’s call it a stance.”

"what??"

Song Wenbin stunned Su Tina with just one sentence.

"Actually, does it matter whether there is a dragon or not? I don't think it matters anymore. I mean, we are human beings, right? Humans have a human life. Even if there are dragons, the dragons also have a dragon life. "

"Do you think there is a dragon?" Sutina couldn't believe it.

"No...I mean this kind of thing is not important!!" Song Wenbin said: "If you make some show effects, the quarrel will be no more. Why do I think you two are serious??"

"This kind of thing is very important. Just like Huo Yu believes in dragons, it means that Huo Yu must lack reason and be impulsive. This is a shortcoming." Su Tina said seriously.

Huo Yu immediately sneered and said, "Sister, if you think you can comment on others just because you are knowledgeable, then you are totally wrong. This is arrogance and you must change it!"

"Hey! I didn't make a comment, I was just stating objective facts!!" Sutina stamped her feet frantically: "Objective facts!! Science!! Do you understand!!"

"So do you think science is important?"

"Important!!" Sutina said.

"Then do you think it's a heinous crime not to talk about science?"

"No..." Sutina was extremely anxious: "If you don't talk about science, what else can you talk about!!"

"Nuo, the person next to you is a religious leader in Seoul. He has never graduated from high school and is the least scientific person. What do you think of him?"

Song Wenbin was speechless: "Why do you have to drag it on me again! I'm very scientific, okay?"

"Brother Song, please make progress!" Su Tina clenched her fist vigorously and said.

Song Wenbin raised his eyebrows and spread his hands.

"Do I still need to go to adult college?" Huo Yu asked aggressively.

"This..." Sutina hesitated.

"Do you also think that his education is low?"

Huo Yu asked quickly, not giving Sutina any time to react.

"he…!!"

Sutina suddenly stopped and shut up.

Okay.

Song Wenbin was completely speechless.

This was an excuse, and even if he had ten brains, he wouldn't have imagined that these two girls would pull this off.

"Hmm——Huo!! Rain!!"

Sutina's face bulged as time passed.

"I don't like you anymore!!"

"Hahaha~"

Huo Yu smiled mischievously.
