"Ding--"

With the sound, two toasts that had been golden-baked jumped out of the toaster. Not far from it, above the bluish flame, an omelette creaks on a black pan, and there is bacon in the kitchen, and the smell of yellow mustard sauce is dancing. The pale yellow sunlight came in from the window and landed on the island-style countertop. The white milk in the bowl was filled with crispy cereal cereals, dotted with red and purple raspberries.

Rand squinted his head and sipped the Greek salad with yogurt and sweet oranges and mint leaves in the salad pot (not the one in Munster), and the phone was sandwiched between his shoulders and ears. Unlike the laid-back and warm atmosphere that spread throughout the kitchen, his expression was actually anxious... mixed with some helplessness. His voice is full of urgency.

"...Yes, I know it's very troublesome, but I do need an aquarium... Yes, I don't care about the size, much bigger than the previous one? Oh, no problem, really, whatever it is... in short... If you can install it today, it will be wonderful... Oh, ok... I really appreciate it, thank you very much!"

He sighed with a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. He never thought that one day he would feel the redemption of life because of an aquarium.

Recalling what he woke up this morning... Oh, that was a nightmare.

I haven't thought of the thing that was tossed by Munster last night. He just dragged his body with drowsiness and walked straight into the bathroom. However, after opening the shower curtain, he instantly saw the little monster floating above the water.

Its belly is facing up, the two claw-like pectoral fins are close to the chest, the eyes are closed and a uniform "snoring" sound is heard, and two tiny tentacles occasionally tremble at the top of the head.

It slept so well that Rand suddenly remembered after a while, and his bathtub has now become the home of this little monster.

Well, in fact, as of this time, everything seems to have no problem - Rand even just supported his forehead, with a blunt decision to give up his morning bath.

At this time, he simply thought of it. Maybe he could carefully observe the little monster. After all, it floated so easily on the surface of the water, so close to him. Rand also really wants to figure out what it is.

So Rand bent down and leaned over. Because of myopia, he blinked slightly. He might be too close to Munster. He could even smell the little monster on the little monster. taste……

Munster also opened his eyes at this time -

It saw Rand at a glance.

God knows what is in his weird little head.

"唧唧-唧-"

With the screams, it jumped out of the water, and the tail instantly took the shots in the bathtub, and Rand was immediately smeared. He suspected that Munster had almost jumped into his face. Even his face was sucked by its tail. He felt a sharp pain, and a lot of splashes made his vision blurred.

Rand closed his eyes in a panic, his hands twirling in front of himself - in short, the scene was **** - he only touched some slippery things, maybe something was nailed, but he didn't react at all. come.

Munster fell back to the bathtub until another loud sound of water rang. Rand wiped his face casually with the shower curtain. His face lowered his head and saw Munster’s crystal clear bottom of the bathtub. After a few seconds, it hit the bathtub wall and curled up there. It seems to be trying to bury itself under the water.

If it is on the real seabed, his behavior may be reluctant to say "disguise", but for God's sake - this **** is in the bathtub of Rand!

Rand almost couldn't hold back the anger in his chest. He was almost going crazy. After all, he never thought that one day he would be so embarrassed by a fish (maybe not a fish)!

And, still twice.

He took a deep breath, gnashed his teeth, and even began to think about the possibility of getting it away from his home. But then he saw a blue color floating in the clear water.

Oh, wait...

Rand frowned, he remembered that the blood of this little monster was blue, and he just...what seems to be what he found?

Looking down, Rand found that his nails also had a dry blue. He couldn't help but tighten his lower lip and realized that he might have injured Munster just now.

He stood there, stupidly stupid, and then he felt that he might not be able to turn a blind eye to Munster's injury. So he had to be anxious to cheer himself up and put his hand into the water.

"Hey, you **** little guy, I don't want to hurt you, so are you calm down?"

He couldn't help but talk to it, and the place where his face was fanned by his tail was still faint.

Oh, God, what is it for him that he will fall to the present point, Rand is in his own heart, swearing that he will never save any fish that seems to be unknown... or any kind of strange animal.

I don't know if it was Rand's mutter that played a role. Munster didn't show horror this time, even though Rand took some of his strength from the corner (someone can tell him) Why is a fish so much strength?!).

Then Rand found that one of the tentacles on Munster's head had fallen off, and the other one looked less good - it was on one side, half was separated from the root and the other side was thinned. With.

From the place where the tentacles fall off, blue blood slowly oozes out.

"Damn."

Rand whispered a curse.

He didn't know what the tentacles meant for this weird creature, but apparently it was actually hurt because of his previous actions.

Rand tried to touch Munster's root and there was a layer of skin-connected tentacles that touched the soft... and Munster immediately screamed.

It writhed his body violently, escaped from the hands of Rand, and continued to plant in the corner of the bathtub.

Rand is really unsure whether he should let the two small wounds beside... and... he really is not happy that his bathtub has been soaked by unknown blood of unknown creatures.

After thinking for a while, he took a first-aid kit from the room and kept echoing in the mind, "I am now treating a fish." I disinfected the scissors with alcohol and carefully took the small one. The monster is fished out, and the skin that is attached to the tentacles is cut as gently as possible.

He thought that Munster would scream or struggle, just like before, but the strange thing is that this time it just wet on the edge of the bathtub and let the action of Rand leave, the mouth emits a small similar to "啾啾" Hey.

This is the first time Rand heard other sounds besides "唧唧" in its mouth.

I have to say that Munster is now much more cute than before.

Rand errand hopes that its nature will also be in line with the current appearance...

He looked at Munster for a little while, then sighed deeply.

He put out a finger and clicked on Munster's bare head. The latter made a "啾...唧" tone, and a roll turned to the bottom of the water.

All in all, this is what Rand did all morning – fighting with his pet fish and healing it.

By the way, the other side was deprived of the place to bathe.

In summary, in Rand's current life, he found that what he needed most became an aquarium. So he called the shop he had ordered before and asked if they could install it on the same day. This requirement can be said to be unreasonable. After all, it is only a week later. Rand actually didn't report too much hope. However, after hearing that Rand was willing to give up the good booking, he said happily that he could introduce a Sichuan restaurant in Chinatown to Rand.

Yes, it sounds a bit crazy, but in fact, this restaurant happens to have the aquarium spot that Rand needs: they just set up a large aquarium in China, and they are very happy to have it in terms of enough money. One is given to Rand, although the aquarium is probably slightly larger in size than he needs (in fact, this is in line with Rand’s will, after all, even now he is not sure whether Munster will continue to grow. Big). The most gratifying thing is that the hardworking Chinese are willing to come to the door to help install.

Rand finally felt that the **** of luck had taken him back.

On the afternoon of the same day, the people of the Sichuan Restaurant rang Rand's doorbell as agreed. The aquarium they brought, in theory, was meant to show the live fish to the group of guests in the restaurant – it is said that they always do this in their hometown, after all, only the freshest fish can make the most delicious. Boiled fish.

The size of the aquarium was actually larger than what Rand imagined - the Chinese workers responsible for the installation took a little time to completely install it. Of course, it looks a bit rougher than the ordinary aquarium on the market, but...

"Very good... very...sturdy..."

The leader of the Chinese workers said that Rand stammered in English with Taiwanese.

"Ah, thank you," Rand said to him with some gratitude. Then he looked at the aquarium, which was somewhat exaggerated compared to the living room area. He whispered in a self-hypnotic manner, "and I want to watch it for a long time." Probably it is not so ugly."

In fact, even if it is a beautiful aquarium, for the current Rand... and the real guest of the aquarium, there is no point in the little monster called Munster. After all, Munster itself is not A pleasing creature.

After the water was filled, Rand removed Munster from the bathtub and placed it in the aquarium.

In the process, a young worker who was still debugging the water inlet equipment kept looking at Munster.

"Any questions?"

Rand couldn't help but ask.

The worker shook his head a little shyly, his English was not so good, but he quickly spoke a word to his friend, the lead worker, in Chinese.

"He said... this is a pike..."

The lead worker translated.

Rand was very surprised. He thought that Munster was a weird deep-sea breed, but I didn't expect Chinese people to know it.

"Haha... He said... he is not very clear, but he looks a bit like..."

The other party continues to say.

Rand repeated the weird word again and decided to go to the Internet to find some information.

"Thank you," he said very sincerely. In all fairness, he knew that Munster was not really a little monster. He felt relieved. "I thought I would never know what it was."

"In China... it is very precious, it will make a sound... but some people raise it and it is said to be delicious..."

The worker said that he was aware of something wrong, and he showed a sly smile.

"This is a good look for you..."

He explained it quickly and indicated that he really did not mean anything else. Rand took a slap in the mouth and said that he didn't care, although fundamentally he was shocked by the Chinese.

After paying the fee and sending the worker away. He returned to the front of the aquarium and carefully observed Munster, who was obviously uncomfortable with his new home and was hovering up and down. The blue scales radiate a pearl-like glow on the bottom of the water.

How did Rand feel that for such a creature, even if he killed him, he would not be able to produce appetite.

The author has something to say: Checked the information and found that Taiwan does not seem to have the existence of a baby fish, so the head of the workers is a Taiwanese... When the Munster is a pike (another name for a baby fish), there is no rebuttal, and the other Chinese It’s just a matter of knowing what a baby fish is like... naturally... misunderstanding orz

And, Munster's new home is really ... (silently wax) 2k novel reading network
