The gift Su Jinnan gave to Ao Muyang was indeed very valuable. This was ink from 150 million years ago. Ao Muyang thought about it. It would be really romantic if he used this ink to write a letter of appointment for Lu Zhizi.
However, this fossil shocked him very much. Can mollusks such as squid become fossils? He dug fossils on the seabed, but they belong to the ancestors of turtles. The fossils came from their bone shell that cannot be decayed.
This fossil is the ancient ancestor of squid, and it is somewhat different from the appearance of modern squids. But Ao Muyang knew that they must be molluscs, so it would be more powerful if it could turn into fossils.
He asked Su Jinnan what was going on. The uneducated coast guard captain suddenly stared at the boss, with a confused look on his face: "You ask me the principle? Brother, you don't know my cultural level? You are still a literary youth who is less than half a bottle, I am simply an empty bottle!"
Ao Muyang thought about it for a while and felt that this was reasonable. He thought about it carefully, but then he felt that this was unreasonable. This guy was criticizing himself, but he was actually despising him.
So he did not comment on these words, but said politely: "Get out, Su Jun."
He secretly brought the squid fossils back, and took them out in the study when he had nothing to do at night.
Lu Zhizi pushed the door and came in, and he quickly opened the drawer and put it in.
Seeing this, Lu Zhizi frowned and asked, "What are you doing? What are you hiding?"
Old Ao smiled dryly and said, "No, nothing."
Lu Zhizi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What else do you have to hide from me?"
Lao Ao continued to laugh dryly: "No, really not."
Lu Zhizi lowered her head and said, "Meng Yi, go and take out the things your father has hidden."
Lang Er, who followed her into the study, immediately flashed in his eyes, and rushed towards the desk running and jumping. It sniffed Ao Muyang's hands, and then began to pull the drawer with his claws.
Ao Muyang was furious: "While going, look at you, like a eunuch who received the emperor's imperial edict, don't be embarrassed, go there!"
Lang Er continued to pull the drawer. It relied on Lu Zhizi and was extremely arrogant at this moment.
Ao Muyang had to open the drawer, and Lang Er quickly leaned his head in, and then saw a sharp sword drawn out, the sword given to Ao Muyang by the Black Dragon.
After seeing the sword light, its high-rise tail suddenly faded and ran away with a howl.
Lu Zhizi quickly called it, but it ran away without any mercy.
In this way, Lu Zhizi had no choice but to put down the tray in her hand and said, "Okay, have a cup of hot tea, I'll go out now, and you can keep your mystery."
Lao Ao didn't want to keep it mysterious, mainly because he has not studied this thing thoroughly. If Su Jinnan's message was wrong, wouldn't it be a waste of joy?
The next day, he went to the Turtle Reserve to find Li Ji and showed him the squid fossil.
Li Ji's eyes lit up: "Hey, good stuff, mollusk fossils, not many of this thing have been preserved, where did you dig it?"
Ao Muyang said: "A friend gave me a gift. He said that the fossil ink sac was not destroyed. Soaking it in ammonia can produce ink, ink from 150 million years ago."
Li Ji nodded and said, "Yes, this is right."
Ao Muyang asked puzzledly: "Under normal conditions, organisms need to form fossils, will not only the harder parts of the body be preserved? For example, bones, shells, teeth, etc., these squids are molluscs and are prone to decay. Why do I feel that it is not reliable?"
Li Ji said: "Reliable. This is called the Medusa effect. Under the action of specific temperature and pressure, the specimen becomes fossils and is preserved in just a few days. The probability of this effect is very low, only one in a billion. As far as I know, there are only a few hundred cases of soft parts of biological bodies being preserved worldwide, which is particularly rare."
After receiving the expert's doubts, Ao Muyang felt relieved.
It was the New Year's Market in the town that day. He kept the fossils and drove to the market happily.
This is the most lively time in the town all year round. Even when the town government organized a fisherman custom display event in the middle of the year, it was not as good as that. There were people coming to the market in ten miles, eight villages, three villages and five villages. In addition, tourists, there were more people going to the market in the New Year this year than in previous years.
Merchants are profit-seeking, and there are many hawkers who come to set up stalls. Ao Muyang saw many things that he had never seen in the town before, such as some famous home appliance companies. They came to the town to promote large and large home appliances.
Ao Muyang bought some New Year's goods. By chance, he took out his cell phone to see the time, but found that there were several missed calls, all of which were called by Yan Qingcheng and Zhu Zhu.
He called back, and Zhu Zhu answered the phone and complained: "Uncle Xiaoyang, what's wrong with you? Did you lose your phone? I made several calls! It's not one or two, it's several! But you didn't answer!"
Ao Muyang turned on the hands-free and said, "Did you hear it? How can I hear the ringtone of my cell phone in such a place?"
Zhu Zhu even complained: "Wow, you actually went to the New Year's Market by yourself. My mother and I got up early in the morning and rushed to the village. You didn't wait for us, you went to the New Year's Market by yourself!"
Last year, their family spent the New Year at Ao Muyang's house. After experiencing the lively atmosphere, the three of them were unwilling to be deserted, so they would come together to celebrate the New Year this year.
This year, the fishing ground recruited Chen Dongwa's nephew and a few old nicknames, including a bachelor. Ao Muyang called them back from the fishing ground and stayed at his house for the New Year together.
Yan Qingcheng and the other two had just arrived. Ao Muyang asked them to take a boat to the dock in the town and picked them up to the market to buy New Year's goods.
Women are born to be shopping crazier. Even if they are as cold as six girls, they are very cruel when they have money in their hands and buy things: Ao Muyang uses hands and feet, and there is a bag hanging around his neck, so he quickly gets out of work.
After returning to the village, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, Ao Muyang took Zhu Zhu and Liu Mei to fish.
When he heard about fishing, Zhu Zhu was scared: "If you don't go, I'll go and play with Brother Niu and the others."
Ao Muyang said: "This time fishing is different. The climate this year is abnormal, the weather is cold, and the Ambergris Lake is frozen. Have you ever caught fish on the ice?"
Zhu Zhu was immediately moved: "Is it a mouth on the ice and then fishing?"
Ao Muyang nodded and said, "Yes."
Not only Zhu Zhu has never experienced this, but Liu Mei has encountered this for the first time.
Although the temperature in Hongyang is low in winter, it is rare to freeze until the lake freezes. The temperature this winter is extremely low. Ambergris has a thick layer of ice, which can afford to live on it, so it is even more unproblematic to sit on it and fish.
