Chapter 269 Big Fish
When An Yuan woke up, she was lying on the sofa.
Xiaozhen, Mr. Cat, and the chicken were looking at her. This scene reminded her of the "Are you awake" emoticon that was often seen in the chat group.
Then she felt as if there were ten golden stars spinning in front of her eyes, and her whole body ached as if it was falling apart. To describe it specifically, it was as if she was run over three times by an 800-horsepower super mining truck. She groaned a few times, sat up straight, and looked at Xiaozhen in front of her who was obviously a little nervous. She blurted out: "There was lightning and thunder in your room just now."
"Mom, you're confused because of your nap." Xiaozhen said. Anyuan looked at him suspiciously, not knowing if it was her illusion. She felt that Mr. Cat and Captain Madara II also nodded.
"Just now I seemed to see..." An Yuan murmured, " You hit me."
"Mom, you are confused because of your sleep." Xiao Zhen said very seriously. The cat and the chicken nodded again. This time it was definitely not an illusion. The two pets really nodded together.
"Mom, how could I, the most filial person, hit my mother?" Xiao Zhen continued to express his deep filial piety with words full of emotion.
“…”
An Yuan touched her head in confusion. She didn’t have a fever. Was she really confused from sleeping so much?
She stared blankly at Xiao Zhen in front of her for a long time before she remembered what she wanted to say to her son. She said, "Your father..."
"Hmm?" Xiao Zhen noticed a subtle expression on An Yuan's face.
"Your dad just called and said he caught a big fish." An Yuan said, "We're having fish tonight."
"Okay!" Xiao Zhen shouted.
"Why are you so excited?"
"It's a once-in-a-millennium event for an Air Force boss to catch a big fish."
An Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Look at you. When your dad comes back, you should give him some face. Your dad is going to bring guests home to eat fish together today."
"Guest? Who?"
"It's Principal Wu."
It turns out that Principal Wu is also a fishing enthusiast, but like Yan An, he always comes up empty-handed. This time, Yan An went out fishing and happened to meet Principal Wu. The two of them went fishing together by the river. Unexpectedly, they caught a big fish in the afternoon. When they pulled it up, the fish was so powerful that it almost pulled Yan An into the river. It was only with the help of Principal Wu that they pulled the big fish up. Surprised, Yan An immediately invited Principal Wu to come over and eat some fish.
In the afternoon, Yan An and Principal Wu returned to Yan's house. Yan An happily showed the big fish to his family. It was a huge green-yellow grass carp, the size of a five or six-year-old child.
"It's so big." An Yuan exclaimed in amazement.
"It almost pulled me into the river," Yan An said with a smile, "This fish is too fierce."
"It's a wild grass carp weighing nearly 30 kilograms." Principal Wu added, "It's really rare. It broke the record of our fishing friends."
An Yuan took out her phone and took several photos of the big grass carp and posted them on WeChat Moments. After a while, she said, "Wei Hongzhuo posted a dog's head."
"Ignore him! Oh no, just tell him that this fish weighs 30 kilograms."
Without further ado, the big grass carp was quickly moved into the kitchen. Although Chef Zong was not there, Aunt Li also had good cooking skills. Under her guidance, she quickly cooked a fish with four dishes.
The fish was braised in vinegar on both sides of the belly, boiled in water on the back, steamed in water on the head, and stewed in pot with the rest. When the dishes were served, the juicy fish made Xiaozhen and Yanzhu blush and say it was delicious.
Principal Wu and Yan An continued to chat about fishing rods, baits and other related techniques while eating. The successful catching of such a big fish made these two anglers who always had no luck feel a lot of emotion, and they suddenly felt that they had a new understanding of fishing techniques.
After dinner, Xiao Zhen was not interested in the adults' conversation at all. He turned around and went back to his room. Mr. Cat was squatting and looking at the cat food bowl filled with fish. There was too much fish this time, so Aunt Li also made a portion of steamed fish without salt for Mr. Cat.
Captain Ban said, "Why do they assume that chickens don't eat fish?"
"Because chickens on Earth just don't eat fish."
"That's your prejudice. Chickens are omnivores."
"…There's still a lot left in the kitchen, you can help yourself to some."
Xiao Zhen turned around and looked at Mr. Cat, who was squatting in front of the cat food bowl, "This fish is really fresh and delicious. You should try it."
"..."Mr. Cat, squatting in front of the cat food bowl, remained motionless.
"It's really delicious." Xiao Zhen looked at Mr. Cat's expression and smiled, "Look at your expression. Don't tell me this fish is related to an alien planet."
"..."Mr. Cat, who was squatting in front of the cat food bowl, did not speak.
"It won't really matter."
"..."Mr. Cat, squatting in front of the cat food bowl, still didn't speak.
"Grass."
…
…
"So where does this fish come from? It can't be the lost beloved pet of some alien boss!"
Mr. Cat, who was sitting in front of the instrument, did not turn around. "I am analyzing it."
Captain Ban said, "Maybe it's one of the beloved pets of the great Duke Gill. Tsk tsk, judging from the temper of the Duke Xilin in the past, he might really make all the teachers and students in your school bald this time."
"Shut up!"
"Or maybe this big fish is actually some kind of intelligent life form from another planet, lurking in Lola disguised as a local grass carp. It just wanted to live a peaceful life, but didn't want to suffer such a disaster." Captain Ban flapped his wings and sighed, "Your host father has become a murderer who killed alien visitors, and you are an accomplice who devoured the corpse of the unfortunate victim!"
"Then my father is just a kidnapper, and it was Aunt Li who killed him. I don't know if it's my illusion, are you gloating over his misfortune?"
"I'm just speculating on the possibilities of how things could have gone."
Xiao Zhen was too lazy to talk to the chicken anymore. He turned to Mr. Cat and asked, "How is it? Did you figure it out?"
"What is certain is that this fish is not a disguise of some alien intelligent life form." Mr. Cat said, looking at the screen.
"That's good."
Captain Madara asked, "So this is a pet of some alien?"
A floating image appeared in front of Mr. Cat, showing a string of alien text numbers. "This is the code found in this fish."
"what does that mean?"
"An alien has marked this fish. The meaning of this code is still being analyzed." Mr. Cat glanced at Xiao Zhen, "Relax, this fish is just an ordinary local fish, but for some reason, someone marked it."
"So why is that?" Captain Madara asked.
"It could be a pet, a tracking experiment for scientific research purposes, or there might be something inside the fish. You should wait for the results of the code analysis. Also, I checked and the fish meat is not poisonous. It is just ordinary fish meat. Xiaozhen, you can rest assured about your family's safety."
As soon as Mr. Cat finished speaking, urgent alarm sounds suddenly echoed continuously in their room.
This is the hidden alarm they set up. Once an intruder approaches the Yan residence without the permission of the Yan family, it will be triggered immediately.
Mr. Cat looked at the screen and said, "It's someone from the Security Committee."
"ah."
Captain Madara shouted, "This is too fast! It seems that the alien owner of this big fish immediately asked for help from the Safety Committee after discovering the misfortune of his fish."
"Haha, this is probably the fastest action taken by the Safety Committee that I know of."
Xiao Zhen clicked on the surveillance camera to check the situation. He couldn't help but say, "There are a total of sixteen agents. They surrounded Yan's house. Ah, more than sixteen. There are more than a dozen agents outside. They blocked all three gates of the community."
"For a fish?"
"Looks like it's for a fish. I mean, the last time a certain interstellar noble was cut into salmon pieces, they weren't this fast."
"If I give them the remaining boiled fish now, will they retreat?"
"Until the code is parsed, I won't be sure."
"Let me think about what I should say. First, the fish has already been eaten by our whole family. Second, the fish is delicious. Third, I am from the Overseer's Eye. I have someone above me. Fourth, please get out of here immediately."
Mr. Cat said calmly, "I don't mind you saying this in front of your parents and Principal Wu. By the way, let me remind you that Cao Yu is a real policeman in this local area."
Cao Yu arrived at the door of Yan's house and rang the doorbell.
