Chapter 103 Extra Story

A long time ago, there was a small fishing village near the sea. There lived a dozen people in the village, and everyone made a living by fishing.

The best fisherman in the village is an old fisherman surnamed Guo. He has cast nets on the sea for decades and has never missed a single net.He has only one apprentice, the little boy he picked up from the rocks by the sea. Because the day he picked up the little boy was cloudy, Master Guo took the homonym and called the little boy Xiao Yin.

Master Guo took Xiao Yin with him every time he went out to sea, and taught him which sea area to cast the net and how hard to cast the net; in case of wind and rain, Master Guo taught Xiao Yin to weave fishing nets and chop wood to make fishing boats... … Day by day, the little child gradually grew into a young man.

On this day, Master Guo called Xiao Yin over and said, "I have taught you for so many years, and it's time for you to cast the net by yourself."

This is the meaning of letting Xiao Yin become a teacher. Xiao Yin knew it in his heart. He silently knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Master Guo three times, and then walked out of the yard with the fishing net he made without looking back.

This is the first net I cast as a teacher. I have to catch the biggest fish and bring it back to my master.With this in mind, Xiao Yin propped the boat far away. In places where there are few people, the fish are not easily disturbed, and it is easier to catch bigger fish.

At the very beginning, Xiao Yin would look around to observe the movement in the sea every time he stretched a little farther away. His eyes were sharper than the eagles in the sky, and he could clearly see the swimming tracks of the fish on the bottom of the sea; after gradually getting away from the crowd, Xiao Yin suddenly It was found that the sea in the distance was shining with an unusual golden luster.

The blue sea water spreads golden light from the depths, and every water pattern is dangling like pieces of gold. Xiao Yin's boat stopped in the middle of the golden light. He turned around and took the net, and strenuously moved towards the place where the golden light was shining. sprinkled down.

He is a good fisherman, and he successfully caught the prey as soon as he lowered the net. Feeling the weight of the net in his hand, Xiao Yin finally revealed an imperceptible smile on his usually serious face.

He grabbed the fishing net and wrapped it around his arm twice, and was about to close the net, but the fishing net under his hand sank toward the deep sea involuntarily. The waves were getting bigger and bigger one after another, and they crashed into the boat one after another with a terrifying sound of water. Xiao Yin was completely drenched by the sea water, but he still did not give up the fishing net, as if the fishing net had grown in his hand the same.

When the strength of the struggle at the bottom gradually weakened, Xiao Yin lifted the fishing net halfway, and saw a little white emerging from the fishing net, Xiao Yin nodded in satisfaction.

But when all the fishing nets were put away, Xiao Yin realized that what he had caught was a huge sea oyster. This oyster needed his hands to hold it up. Every line on the luxurious pearl-colored oyster shell looked like the most exquisite painter. As carefully painted.

Xiao Yinqu tapped the sea clam with his fingers, thinking that the meat of the clam was also delicious, so he took the sea clam home.When he returned to the sea, the people who went out to fish had already packed up. He dragged the boat ashore and carried the sea clams on the boat back home.

Xiao Yin split open the clam with a hatchet in the yard, and wanted to send the mussel meat to Master. Maybe he could find pearls for such a big clam, but after splitting the clam, Xiao Yin was startled. There are no pearls in it, but there is a small basin?

The whole body of the small basin is white, except for a small golden carp painted on the bottom of the basin. The scales of the small carp reflect a golden luster in the sunlight. Maybe this is the golden light I saw at sea?Xiao Yin stared at the small basin in his hand for a while, and for some reason, he liked the little carp in this basin very much, as if the other party had always belonged to him.

In the end, Xiao Yin decided to cut off the clam meat and give it to Master, but he didn't tell anyone about this little basin, because in his heart, Xiao Yin felt that it belonged to him, and he couldn't just let others know about it.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yin suddenly felt something was ringing in the room.

He immediately became alert, turned over unintentionally, and opened his eyes slightly to observe the movement in the room.

The fishing basin he put on the low table gave off a golden luster, and then there were bursts of water oscillating sounds. Xiao Yin looked at the small basin calmly, the water oscillating inside became more and more intense, and finally he could only hear With a sound of "crash", Xiao Yin saw a small golden carp jump out of the basin, drawing a beautiful golden arc in mid-air.

As soon as the little carp landed on the ground, it immediately turned into a white and tender child. He was good at facing the wind, and every time he took a step, he became taller. The boy at one end looked like a boy, until this time, he finally stopped.

Xiao Yin closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and then he felt a warm palm touching his cheek, and then something softer than the palm was pressed against him, and the boy touched Xiao Yin with his lips. Yin's face just left, like a superficial kiss.

Xiao Yin couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his eyes all of a sudden.

The boy froze by the bed, but he seemed very happy to see Xiao Yin woke up, and he asked joyfully, "You caught me, right? Who are you?"

Xiao Yin glanced at the small basin on the table, nodded and reported his name, and finally couldn't help asking: "Are you a monster?"

The boy thought for a while and asked, "What is a monster? Am I called a monster?"

"..." Xiao Yin got out of bed and walked to the table to see that the koi at the bottom of the basin was gone. He turned his head and said to the boy who was still standing by the bed, "You must be a little carp."

The boy happily agreed: "Then am I called Little Carp?"

Xiao Yin said with a stiff face, "Yes."

"Then I'm going to bed now, what about you?" Little Carp climbed onto Xiao Yin's bed as he said that. He didn't think there was anything wrong with being naked at first, but as soon as he touched the soft quilt, he immediately felt very comfortable , simply wrapped himself up.

Xiao Yin looked at his exposed white and tender shoulders, and took a deep breath: "Me too."

Little carp lived in Xiao Yin's house just like that. He was probably a little monster who was just born, and he was very curious about everything in the world. The carp was brought.

People in the village were very curious when they saw the little carp. Xiao Yin said that he picked up the little carp while fishing. The latter stood behind him and looked at the villagers with curiosity. Looking at the other party with his eyes bent and smiling, the youngest son of the Wei family said that the little carp was probably thrown into the sea by his family because of his poor brain.

Xiao Liyu was not angry when he heard him say this, and still followed Xiao Yin with a smile on his face, stretching out two fingers to hold Xiao Yin's clothes tightly. I told the little carp not to talk nonsense when I see people, let alone separate from myself, otherwise I will be caught by someone who wants to cook carp in braised sauce.

Although Little Carp didn't understand why he would be caught and cooked after being separated from Xiao Yin, but he still didn't want to be braised in soy sauce.

When he was at sea, Xiao Yin discovered the ability of the little carp. He cast a net at the bow, and the little carp sat at the stern and patted the side of the boat, and countless fish jumped into the net by themselves. The carp pats the side of the boat again, and the rest of the fish will swim away by themselves.

After Xiao Yin went out to sea for only a short while, he harvested a boat full of fish, which was something even his master didn't have.

Xiao Yin watched the little carp enthusiastically reaching out to fiddle with the fish in the boat, with a complicated expression on his face: "Are you helping me fish?"

"That's right," Little Carp looked at him as it should be, "Aren't you a fisherman? Or do you not like these fish?"

"No..." Xiao Yin rarely shook his head nervously, "It's just that you also..."

The little carp stared at him for a while, and suddenly understood what Xiao Yin wanted to say, "Am I a fish too? It doesn't matter, I like eating them too!"

Xiao Yin looked at Xiao Liyu's eyes narrowed when he talked about Yutang, and heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Although the little carp is a newborn little monster, he has a very strong learning ability. After learning how to cook with Xiao Yin, he can cook very delicious fish soup by himself. After tasting the rice cooked by the little carp , Xiao Yin no longer wants to eat his own craft.

Seeing how devoted he was to eating fish soup, the little carp couldn't help feeling worried, this person loves fish so much, will he eat himself too one day?He said that other people would catch him and burn him in soy sauce!

Day after day passed like this. On the surface, Xiao Yin took the little carp out to sea on weekdays, and the little carp went home to cook fish soup, and the two of them slept together at night. But in fact, the worries in the little carp's heart became more and more serious. , he thinks that Xiao Yin is really nice. He makes clothes for himself, buys him new gadgets that kids in the city like, and at night is willing to give half of the quilt to hug him to sleep...

What's more, if he doesn't eat himself, this person will probably die soon, right?He is a mortal and cannot live for a long time, the little carp thought anxiously, give him a little bit, just as big as a fingernail, probably... it won't hurt too much, right?

So at night, as soon as Xiao Yin entered the room, he saw Xiao Liyu gesturing at himself with a knife. He was shocked, rushed over to grab the knife and threw it aside, and said sharply, "What are you doing?!"

It was the first time that Xiao Yin spoke with such a harsh tone to Little Carp. The latter shrank his neck in fright, and said in a low voice, "I want to see which piece of meat on my body is the tastiest, so I will cut it off..."

Xiao Yin frowned, not quite understanding what this little monster was planning: "What are you cutting flesh for?"

"I'll eat it for you," the little carp explained in a low voice, "I'll give you a small piece, so don't eat all of me, okay?"

Seeing the little carp's defenseless expression, all the anger in Xiao Yin's stomach disappeared. He bent down to pick up the little carp, and walked to the sleeping room, "Who told you that I want to eat yours?"

"The youngest son of the Wei family next door, the eldest son of the Tang family at the head of the village, and the village head Xiao Zhang..." Xiao Liyu put aside the matter of cutting the meat, and counted the number of people for Xiao Yin with his fingers.

Xiao Yin was so angry that he laughed, he used to be very good-looking, but he didn’t like to smile on weekdays, now even Xiao Liyu was dumbfounded by this smile, and after a while he blushed and said: “You look so pretty when you smile. "

But Xiao Yin put him on the bed and asked, "Aren't you afraid of pain? When the thatch is cut, your eyes will turn red. How can you be willing to cut your own flesh?"

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but when he talked about Little Carp, he couldn't help thinking that Xiao Yin was a mortal and couldn't live happily with him for a long time. I'm going to die soon..."

Xiao Yin's heart was about to be melted by his crying, and he leaned over and kissed the little carp tenderly, and then said: "Master told me a way, I can eat you without cutting your flesh, and live with you for a long time. "

The little carp blinked: "What method?"

Xiao Yin reached out and peeled off the clothes he made for Xiao Liyu, and said in a low voice: "You will know in a while."

That night, after being turned into a red wave, Little Carp was wondering if Xiao Yin was going to bite off a piece of flesh from him, but he didn't even have the strength to think for a long time, but when he woke up the next day, although he was full of There were many bruises and purple marks, but there was no missing piece of meat.

Seeing that he woke up, Xiao Yin gently kissed his forehead and said, "Look, I can eat you without cutting your flesh."
