mermaid disease

16.

The assay results of the metal clusters showed a common copper-zinc alloy.It is presumed that it was accidentally swallowed and remained in the intestinal tract, and the trauma poked it into the abdominal cavity.This matter is not so important now - now Yang Yi stays by the "fish tank" for a long time, observing, etc.

The mermaid is put on a barrier device that is much tighter than the eye mask, like VR glasses and a helmet.For some reason, the mermaid hasn't moved since she woke up strangely on the day of the "incident" and was forcibly sedated.In the past week, the recovery of the injury has almost stagnated, and the wound on the fish tail began to fester and inflame.

Refrigerated tank trucks pull the purified seawater one by one.The medical team can briefly examine the merfolk and change the biological media during water changes.The most recent time, Yang Yi could barely touch the mucus on the mermaid that had troubled the medical team.His body temperature has been maintained at 33°C for more than three days. There is nothing wrong with the test results, but the signs are inflammation, and all available antibiotics are of no avail.

His gill slits opened violently in the air, blood oxygen fell again, Yang Yi covered his neck with gauze soaked in sea water.Why is the anti-inflammatory effect of sea water on him gradually disappearing?

Yang Yi looked at Zeng Yuanhang and said, "We can ask him."

17.

The antagonist was injected for about an hour, the body reflexes recovered, and another seven hours after the endotracheal tube was removed, the mermaid woke up.

After the first "Mermaid Trap", Zeng Yuanhang had a failed dialogue.The merman doesn't answer any questions, just talking to himself.Linguists analyzed the recordings and concluded only that "Norwegian-like, untranslatable".

Yang Yi and Zeng Yuanhang came to the ward with the most advanced translation AI.The mermaid is lying on layers of sterile cloth, and the hands and tail are confined to a small area by locks.The blocking device covered half of his head, and his eyes were tightly blocked.Dripping black hair protruded from the device, clung to his bare shoulders, back, and waist.

There is no opening.Yang Yi said bluntly in Chinese: "Your physical condition is rapidly deteriorating, and the anti-inflammatory effect of sea water is getting weaker and weaker. Tell us how to save you."

The mermaid's Adam's apple rolled, and he tried to raise his hand, but was caught by the buckle at a certain angle.He sneered, and his thin, bloodless lips curled up, making a low gurgling sound.

His lips moved, talking to himself. The AI ​​starts loading.

18.

It is an old Scandinavian variety that is the predecessor of Norwegian. The AI ​​began to give translations intermittently, and Yang Yi looked at the screen.is a string of numbers.

49,21,26,123,28,19.

Repeated words continued to flow through the vocal cords, various signs and indicators gradually became disordered, and some instruments began to sound alarms.

The mermaid's voice gradually became a whisper.Yang Yi held his neck, the mucus secreted from the gill slit stained his hand.He held him in front of his eyes and said: "You are going to die." The mermaid hummed, and Yang Yi heard him whisper in his ear in Chinese:

"Death in solitude, resurrection in solitude."

The blocking device became transparent, and the inner structure was like plexiglass, and the edge of the glass glides through the faint blue light.The mermaid's eyes loom behind the structural lines, opening.The surrounding area was filled with fluorescent light at first, and then suddenly went black.

The dim light fell on the boy's body, he lowered his head, and repeated the movement of grinding back and forth with his hands stagnantly.He put down his things and stood up, the light fell on his face, that young face made Yang Yi dazed.

Gu Xiao looked at him: "It was almost."

He smiled sadly.

19.

Yang Yi was the only person who experienced the mermaid trap this time, and there was nothing unusual about the people around him, so he decided not to mention it.Although they still don't know what the link is, this mermaid must be related to Gu Xiao.

Mermaid, Institute, Surgery, Traps, Numbers.It's in the dark... No, it should be deliberately arranged together to guide him.

After the exchange, the mermaid's condition took a turn for the worse, and she quickly fell into a coma.At the Institute's discussion meeting, everyone's guesses about the numbers eventually pointed to latitude and longitude.All the possibilities were listed, Yang Yi looked at the words on the whiteboard and circled one with a pen. 49°21'26.0"N123°28'19.1"W near Pasley Island, Georgian Bay, Vancouver, Canada

49°21'26.0"S123°28'19.1"E澳大利亚南印度洋上

49°21'26.0"N123°28'19.1"E呼伦贝尔

49°21'26.0"S123°28'19.1"W南太平洋上

"With the current situation, we can't try all four. I suggest going directly to Georgian Bay."

"why?"

The rational surgeon didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after a while he said, "Intuition."

Zhang Shiqin said: "Until now, many things cannot be explained from logic and common sense. It was Dr. Yang who communicated effectively with the mermaid for the first time, so his 'intuition' I think can be called 'scientific intuition'. I believe him. .”

Yang Yi looked at Zhang Shiqin gratefully, grateful for the trust and support from the respected director.But he did not say what kind of instinct he chose the sea in Georgian Bay. If he said it, he would either be regarded as a villain for public benefit or as a nonsense lunatic.

20.

Three days later at noon, the warship that Yang Yi was on was sailing on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean.Georgian Bay is at the junction of countries C and M, and country M is interested in everything that refreshes cognition, so this is also a secret operation.When they approached the bay, they changed to an unremarkable barge and sailed to Paisley Island.

As the coast approached, Yang Yi walked back to the cabin from the deck.Zeng Yuanhang is recording data.Mermaids sleep in makeshift tanks filled with fresh seawater drawn from Georgian Bay.Yang Yi looked at the indicator, it was still normal.

Zeng Yuanhang stopped his hands: "What's wrong with you."

After a moment of silence, Yang Yi said: "With your keenness, you should go to a psychiatrist." After a pause, he continued: "My parents live in North Vancouver, and they once had a doctor on Paisley Island. A farm."

"I understand," Zeng Yuanhang said tentatively, "The mermaid is related to you."

The sea is calm, the engine of the barge is humming, the familiar pier is close in front of him, Yang Yi looks at the land outside the door, there is the coastline he is familiar with, where Gu Xiao walked one after the other.

21.

Under the infiltration of seawater in the western Pacific Ocean, the mermaid continued to improve.The barge is parked on the sea surface of the mermaid coordinates, and the sea water is renewed every day.The body temperature dropped back to normal levels, and the wound on the fish's tail began to scab over.Yang Yi and Zhang Shiqin took a day off and returned to their home in Beiwen City.He called ahead of time and only saw his mother when he got home.Yang Yi was walking in an unfamiliar neighborhood, and saw her standing beside the flower wall looking forward to it from afar.

In fact, my mother's back is already bent, and her wrinkles are deeper than a few years ago. These changes are not noticed in the video.He hugged his mother, and when he entered the door, he saw a table full of dishes waiting there quietly.

Yang Yi asked, "Where's Dad?" His mother forced a smile and shook her head. He went to the community's dragon dance team for training early in the morning, and there will be activities in Chinatown in a few days.

Expected.

Yang Yi took his mother's hand and sat down: "Let's eat, both of us." Familiar taste.Yang Yi ate very relaxed, and his mother was also very happy.They chatted a little bit about their family, who moved to Edmonton, and whose 20-year-old dog died and had a great sea burial.

"Are all my things still there?" Yang Yi said intentionally or unintentionally, mother said of course, I will put all the things in your room in place for you.

Yang Yi helped his mother put the bowl into the dishwasher, and asked, "Do you still remember Gu Xiao who came to my house in my third year of medical school?"

Mother remembers.That was at least 25 years ago. During the vacation, Yang Yi brought his classmates back as guests.She had a good impression of Gu Xiao, a young man. He was handsome and well-bred.He doesn't have both sides at the dinner table, but he does everything in place and is the kind of junior who is very popular with mothers.

Yang Yi's father is a rigid and silent teacher.He is unsmiling and noncommittal about the children's topics.Gu Xiao controlled the communication with Lao Yang to a good point, neither overstepping nor alienating.

Yang Yi asked his father if he could take Yang Xiao to the farm on Paisley Island to play, then looked at his father expectantly.Gu Xiao swallowed a piece of asparagus, looked at Mrs. Xiayang playfully, and his mother gave him a trick:

"You can let Dingtian learn how to drive that harvester during the vacation."

The farm is huge, facing the sea on one side.Along the path around the sea, you can go directly to Yang Yi's home on the farm. He has stayed here for seven holidays, and everything is familiar to him.Gu Xiao and Yang Yi walked out from home and walked along the beach until they reached the white lighthouse.Built on a two-story rock plinth, it is a white wooden house with a high ridge.They climbed the steps, the door was locked, and through the narrow strip window, they could see the cramped interior of the hut. There was a bed, a table and a chair inside, and a clock hung on the wall. people lived.

Gu Xiao lay on the railing watching the sunset into the sea, Yang Yi surrounded him.

"I'm eighteen."

Gu Xiao said that his bangs were about two inches long, and a strand hung down over his neat eyebrows.He turned his face, and the setting sun was hidden behind his sideways eyes: "We can legally make AI."

They kiss passionately.Regardless of the desire gushing out of the two young bodies.It was too late to go back to the farm, Yang Yi broke the lock of the wooden house.

They lay on the bed with only one layer of sheets. The sheets were twisted into fine folds, and the dust was released from between the warp and weft, flying in the fiery red of the setting sun.
