Chapter 1643 I Have a Little Goldfish 9
Wei Yiran knew why grandpa was so obsessed with finding angelfish.
His grandma died of cancer, and she was like a candle in the wind when she was less than forty years old. It is said that grandpa's parents also died of a serious disease, so grandpa has an unusual feeling for diseases.
I don't want to die early after I have achieved something, so I want to find the legendary angelfish that can cure all diseases.
There are some newspaper clippings in the diary, which are news reports about angelfish from various places, and there is also a text from "Shan Hai Jing · Bei Shan Jing"——
"On the mountain of Qiaoming, Qiaoshui flows out, and the west flows into the river. There are many fish in it, one head and ten bodies, and its sound is like a barking dog, and the food is already carbuncle."
It is said that Qiaoming water originates from this mountain and flows westward into the Yellow River. There are many he Luo fish growing in the water, with one head but ten bodies, and the sound it makes is like a dog barking. People who eat its meat can cure any disease.
In short, as long as there is information about angelfish, no matter whether it is true or not, it will be recorded in Wei Ping's diary.
Others may not be as enthusiastic about angelfish as Wei Ping.
Every time you travel, you need to fill in the team members and buy equipment and tools. As big as ships and planes, as small as gunpowder and bullets, they are all places where money is spent.
In the fourth diary, conflicts broke out between Wei Ping and the remaining investors.
In order to prevent the investment from being lost, the investors believed that the expedition team should pay more attention to some inaccessible ancient tombs in the process of searching for angelfish.
This undoubtedly deviated from Wei Ping's original intention of founding the expedition team, so he strongly opposed it.
As a result of the meeting, they broke up unhappy.
The few investors who were there have also withdrawn from the Adventure Alliance.
With the strength of the Wei family alone, it is undoubtedly very difficult to fund such a large-scale expedition, but despite such a predicament, Wei Ping still did not give up.
At the end of the fifth diary, the expedition team sent back news that they had found traces of the angelfish, and Wei Ping went there in person to participate in the trapping plan.
In the sixth diary, the emotions between the lines become lighter.
Wei Ping secretly brought the angelfish back to Wei's house, pretended that the funds were not enough to support the expedition team, and dismissed the expedition team in a low-key manner, and gave each team member a generous hush money.
He didn't tell anyone about this matter, not even his son or grandson knew about it.
Angelfish are kept in the pond, those beautiful koi are just to deceive people, and at the same time serve as rations for angelfish.
He wrote in his diary that at least two taels of fairy fish meat is needed to achieve the effect of preventing all diseases.
This means that after removing the head, viscera, scales and tail fin, the remaining part must have two or two weights.
At this time, the angelfish is too small and grows very slowly, so Wei Ping can only be patient and raise it slowly.
While waiting, Wei Ping took care of the angelfish meticulously, planted lotus flowers, and fed them, all by himself. Over time, the angelfish became very close to him and would surface when he heard footsteps.
Wei Ping found out that the fish has spirituality, and he was even more delighted. He often chatted with it in the dead of night to relieve loneliness.
The diary is densely recorded in the front, and less and less in the back, and sometimes it takes ten and a half months to write an article.
Wei Yiran recalled for a moment, and guessed that his grandfather was gradually weakening at that time.
The last diary entry is about Wei Ping's eating plan for angelfish.
Although only the flesh of the fish can cure all diseases, other parts also have curative effects - the eyes of the fish can improve eyesight, and it can be brewed into medicinal wine; the bones of the fish can be strengthened, and can be ground into powder to make pills; Stew, remove impurities, pour the remaining liquid into a bowl, and let it condense into a jelly. It can be used as soup, or it can be eaten cold with sugar and peppermint oil.
After reading the six diaries, Wei Yiran couldn't help letting out a long sigh.
Grandpa invested a lot in the angelfish and planned it carefully, but he died suddenly due to cerebral infarction in the end, and this angelfish was completely useless.
good night~
