Chapter 149: Fish and Water
Sumu squatted on the ground, eye level with the two children.
"Hello, I'm Luo Haiwei."
Such a solemn opening made both children a little uncomfortable.
"I heard this aunt say, are you here to release animals?" Pointing to the people beside him, Su Mu betrayed Assistant Wu without hesitation.
This tone that seemed to be talking about something very formal made the two children a little panicked, "We caught two small fish from the stream before and wanted to raise them ourselves. This time we sent them back because we thought they couldn't be raised well."
Yes, I really didn’t do anything bad!”
The brother and sister looked at Su Mu with tears in their eyes.
They all learned more or less about the extraordinary status of this eldest lady from the adults' mouths, so they were naturally a little reserved. Coupled with her solemn attitude, they were even more frightened and did not dare to hide it at all.
"I didn't say you did anything bad." Su Mu shook his head and comforted the two frightened children, "I'm just curious and want to ask you a few questions."
She glanced at the blue plastic bucket next to her.
“Why can’t we raise this fish well?”
Seeing that Su Mu didn't really seem angry, the elder brother of the two children mustered up the courage to reply, "It's been several days, and I haven't eaten less. As a result, I'm growing so slowly and I'm not energetic."
Well, it is incomparable to the fish in the stream. Dad said that maybe it was not accustomed to the acclimatization after leaving Xingzi River, so he asked us to put it back."
"Can you raise it big?" Luo Fei lowered his head and looked at the two fish in the bucket that could be considered normal sizes.
At this size, is it considered too big to raise?
"This is not that big!" The two children shook their heads and waved their hands very seriously.
"The fish in our Xingzi River are very good at growing. However, fish of this size are not good at growing and no one will catch them."
Following the children's instructions, Luo Fei quickly found the same type of fish in the stream.
She was shocked to find that the same kind of fish, raised in the stream, was half as big as the one in the bucket. The difference was astonishing.
"These fish are all about the same age, but they are raised in different places. The difference is huge!"
Seeing that the little sister seemed to have been convinced by him, the children were a little proud and kept trying.
"Okay, I understand, thank you for your cooperation." Seeing Assistant Wu's face become a little solemn, Su Mu promptly interrupted several people's questions, turned around and ordered the waiters, "You two, go and help.
Release them and send the children back."
The waiters carried the buckets and quickly poured several "stunted" fish out of the buckets and into the stream.
The living space expanded, and the fish, which was still a little bored at first, suddenly became more energetic. With a flick of its tail, it swam to the depths.
Looking at the crystal clear stream, Su Mu looked thoughtful.
It looks like the fish itself is still the same fish.
There are no genetic mutations or anything else, just ordinary fish.
Internal causes of species variation are eliminated, that is to say, external factors should be the main cause of their changes.
She lowered her head, and a beautiful face was immediately reflected in the clean and translucent stream.
