Chen Sanlang in the rain felt a little depressed inexplicably. He understood that going home in this state would definitely make his mother very worried. After thinking about it, he turned his steps and came up to Wanqing Bridge, ready to go home after a quarter of an hour.
The raindrops are thin and dense, falling endlessly on the river surface, pointing out countless small ripples. Without ducks or frogs, the Jing River today is surprisingly quiet.
Holding a broken umbrella, Chen Sanlang walked up the bridge, leaned against the railings, and stared at the upstream of the river. He hoped that a black-sailed boat would row down, and the boatwoman with the pole would be very beautiful.
"Sad, when is it time? I still want this?"
I cursed in my heart.
Someone came up to the bridge, and he quickly raised his head and chest, carrying a hand on his back, pretending to be watching the scenery in the rain. It is said that those literati and poets love this mouth the most, on the bridge head of the hazy spring rain, with deep affection. After it has been brewed, they immediately opened their mouths to recite poems—
Now Chen Sanlang can open his mouth, but he can't make a sound, so he has to pursed his lips tightly and make a deep look.
Unfortunately, the spring cold was very cold, the umbrella was broken, and my clothes were slowly wet. The wind and rain were blowing, so cold that my whole body began to tremble and a cold war began to war.
When people passing by saw this, they couldn't help but smile:
"Isn't this the Chen family Sanlang? I heard that he has applied for the boy exam again this year, but somehow, he came to the bridge to get wet in the rain..."
"Maybe I'm afraid I can't get the exam and I'm under great pressure, so I'll be stupid when I go outside..."
The stolen discussion floated by and then went away.
"Sanlang, your mother is looking for you everywhere. Mr. Yang is here, but you are here..."
The second group of passers-by was Aunt Huang from the next door. Her voice sounded like a gong.
When Chen Sanlang heard this, he complained secretly, and nodded to show that he knew.
When Aunt Huang saw him looking dull, she sighed: "As a good child, I'm so stupid in the exam, I'm pitiful."
After saying that, I left for myself.
Chen Sanlang's forehead was prominent with blue veins, and he wanted to pull his throat and shouted: "You are stupid, your whole family is stupid..."
But he couldn't speak now, and he was really stupid standing on it, holding a broken umbrella and pretending to behave.
So he went down the bridge angrily and went under the willow trees by the river.
I remember that I was releasing red carp here, and I revisited the old place, and I felt dazed...
Crash!
Suddenly, the river surface was rolling, making waves of sounds.
Chen Sanlang was stunned and stretched his neck to see.
I saw waves sweeping over, and a touch of bright red appeared, and my body was very lively.
"Red Carp!"
Chen Sanlang opened his mouth wide.
Whoosh!
The red carp in the water seemed to hear his silent shout, as fast as an arrow, and suddenly broke through the waves and flew over.
It really has to fly up!
Chen Sanlang didn't understand why, subconsciously threw away the broken umbrella, stretched out his hands to pick it up, and closed it. The next moment, the red carp fell into the palm of his palm without any bias.
What's going on?
Chen Sanlang was suspicious: If the fish left the water, they would die. Since they knew they would die, why did the red carp jump onto the ashore and commit such suicide?
Ever since the Red Carp repays his kindness and sends out the mysterious little sword, he has understood that the other party is definitely not an ordinary fish.
Could it be said that it is unusual: can you live without water?
However, at the moment, the red carp in the palm of his palm kept opening and closing his mouth, looking a little suffocating and uncomfortable.
"It seems that I'm overthinking."
Chen Sanlang laughed at him and quickly bent down, held the red carp and put it in the water, and said to himself: "Ye'er, fish, you'd better go back to the river and swim freely, and don't be caught again in the future."
But strangely, the red carp became very nervous and uneasy when it first touched the river. The two pectoral fins swayed hard, and they tried hard to stir up the water.
Chen Sanlang just let go and stood up.
Whoosh!
The red carp leaped up again.
No, what's the point?
Chen Sanlang was puzzled and had no time to think about it in a hurry. He quickly stretched out his hands to catch it.
The red carp fell into his palm, and it seemed to fall into a warm embrace, so resolute and without regrets.
Chen Sanlang was a little stunned and felt that his mind was not big enough.
I have never encountered or heard of such a thing in my two lives.
Fortunately, there was no one around at this time, otherwise people would be surprised to see her chin drop to the ground.
In an instant, Chen Sanlang seemed to have figured out something. He stomped his feet, turned around and ran home with the red carp.
Not long after he left, waves rolled up on the Jinghe River again, with a louder momentum, with a faint black wind. A shadow swam quickly in the wind and waves, as if looking for something. It searched the waters under the Wanqing Bridge for a long time, but found nothing, and then dived into the water and went downstream.
Chen Sanlang rushed home in a hurry. When he entered the hall, he saw his mother talking with Mr. Yang, but he kept saying hello and rushed to his room. He looked around and saw the porcelain basin that he usually washed his face. He immediately went over and put the red carp into the basin.
There is no water in the basin.
"Water, where is there water?"
He rushed out again with a porcelain basin, almost colliding with his mother who was coming.
Chen Wangshi doubted: "Yuan'er, what are you doing?"
Chen Sanlang did not answer, and hurriedly found the well in the front yard, hurriedly picked up a bucket of clear water and poured it into the basin.
When the fish got water, they immediately began to swim flexibly, their tails swaying, no longer as nervous as before.
Chen Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yuan'er, what happened?"
Chen Wang followed behind in panic, scared to death.
Chen Sanlang hurriedly said, "Mom, the child bought a fish to raise it. He accidentally broke the basin on the way, so he had to go home to find water. If he lost his courtesy, please don't blame me."
A very reasonable explanation.
More importantly, a quarter of an hour passed and he was finally able to speak.
It feels so good.
Chen Wangshi said with some blame: "So that's it. You are so damn wet for a fish. You are weak. What should you do if you catch a cold and get sick?"
Chen Sanlang was timid and thought to himself: This is not an ordinary fish!
"...Oh, you quickly change your clothes and go out of the hall to talk to the gentleman."
Chen Sanlang first put the porcelain basin on the ground. After thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate. He was afraid that the chickens and ducks raised at home would be offended, so he picked it up and placed it on a low wall.
Then he went back to the room to change his clothes and went out to see his husband.
"Meow!"
After a while, a cat suddenly cried out, and soon a big cat poked out its head. It was originally curled under the eaves, with sharp eyes, and saw the red carp swimming in the porcelain basin.
Cats are born to love fish, so they can't stand it. They immediately slid and jumped down lightly, and landed next to the porcelain basin.
The red carp in the basin did not feel the danger was approaching, and was still swimming leisurely.
The cat stretched out its front paw on its right and wanted to penetrate into the water to grab the red carp and eat it.
Hurry!
The red carp's tail swung out, and a splash of water appeared, watering the cat's face, which was quite wet.
The cat was startled and quickly shrank its claws, but soon it reacted, looking a little angry, whimpering in a low voice, arched its waist and attacked at any time.
The red carp suddenly opened its mouth, sprayed a water-filled arrow, and hit the cat in front accurately again.
The cat was furious. Unexpectedly, a small fish that had reached its mouth would dare to play with it so much. She immediately raised her claws and scratched it hard into the water.
Bang!
The red carp's small body twisted gently, and most of the basin of water seemed to be under control, forming a wave, pressing towards the calico cat with its head and face.
This is not the previous splash or water arrow.
The cat felt some terrifying force contained in the small waves. It was so frightened that the fur all over its body exploded. It screamed, turned around quickly, jumped onto the roof, and ran away.
——So, a female cat in the Chen family who had been raising a half-year-old ran away from home and never came back. After the old butler Hua couldn't find the cat, he cursed: "Spring is coming, and this guy who is not familiar with it is probably running away with a wild male cat..."
Hurry!
The waves in the air fell back into the basin, and the red carp swam happily.
Mr. Yang came to the door today, but there was nothing big about it. He just wanted to check the students' exam homework and how well he was prepared.
