Chapter 8 why fish fly

1 Little Silver is a fish, like all fish, he lives freely in the water. The reason why Xiaoyin is called Xiaoyin is because his whole body is covered with silvery fish scales.Of course, many fish have the same characteristics and can be called by the same name.However, they don't know how to think like Little Silver. The brain capacity of a fish is so small that it is the greatest satisfaction just to know how to find something to eat, and there is no need to think about too many distant things to be a fish. But Little Silver doesn’t think so, he likes to look overhead, the water is like the sky to him, Little Silver knows that there is another world beyond the water, and he also knows that he has no way to reach it—even if the fish is not a smart creature, there is no way to reach it. The consciousness of going ashore still exists from generation to generation.

When the fish heard that the almighty human beings are more and more fond of eating fish heads and have invented various ways to eat fish heads, and even claimed that fish heads are nutritious to eat and nourish the brain, they laughed so hard that their jaws dislocated. At that time, Little Silver felt that his peers were very sad. Little Silver yearns for a world beyond water. For this reason, he always swims to a place close to the water surface, and occasionally puts his head out of the water to feel the refreshment other than shortness of breath.This was Little Silver's short-lived happiness, although his kind called it evil.

There is a rumor in the fish family that Xiaoyin is a fish with a penchant for self-torture, and will laugh out loud even if he is thrown into the frying pan. As Xiaoyin became more and more interested in the world outside the water, he was honored to be the most physically fit fish in the river, thanks to the fact that he jumped out of the water to enjoy the scenery for a moment.As his high jump scale unexpectedly exceeded one meter, Xiaoyin gradually became a famous fish in the river.The old fish always looks at his posture and mutters to himself: "If there is a dragon gate in the world, he must be able to jump over it..."

Because of Xiaoyin's frequent stunt performances, many fishing enthusiasts have discovered his existence.Even a first-time fisherman can use this to tell if there are any fish in the river. The fishing style in the small river is simple and simple, and the younger generation has no sense of crisis, so fishermen can easily succeed. One day, Xiaoyin swam to a place close to the river bank to find something to eat, and suddenly heard a "plop", Xiaobai fell from the sky in front of him. Xiaobai is Xiaoyin's neighbor, and his hobby is basking in the sun on the rocks near the water surface, and he often poses like a dead fish, exposing his snow-white belly to the public, hence the name.

Xiaoyin asked Xiaobai: "Scare me, what are you doing?" Xiao Bai cried and said, "I just narrowly escaped death! Look at my mouth..." Xiaoyin said: "Calm down! I can't see your tears because you're in the water... um, that's really silly. What's wrong with your mouth?" Xiaobai said: "I was hooked by humans just now! If I hadn't struggled desperately and paid the price of tearing my lips, I would definitely end up being eaten!" Xiaoyin was very interested: "Water World! Is it fun?" Xiaobai cursed, then swam away angrily.

Not far away, I saw humans fishing again.The water was so clear that the baits and hooks could be seen clearly. Little Silver swam around the bait a few times, then carefully ate the bait and pulled the fishing line along the way.The people on the shore thought that a fish had been hooked, pulled it desperately, and fell on all fours. Seeing the hook leaving the water quickly, Little Silver felt that it could be used. When the people on the shore took the hook for the second time, Little Silver secretly took a ball of aquatic plants and hung them on the hook, and then he held the aquatic plants and the hook in his mouth.Under the protection of aquatic plants, his mouth was intact.

The people on the shore felt the weight this time, and he struggled to lift Little Silver out of the water. Xiaoyin felt like taking an elevator. Seeing his body leave the river that contained him and rise to a height that he couldn't usually jump to, Xiaoyin was extremely excited, and he opened his eyes wide to enjoy the wider world. The person who caught Xiaoyin was obviously inexperienced. He was clumsy and didn't know how to retrieve the prey. In the end, he chose the common method of backing away from the creek with the fishing rod and Xiaoyin. Before that, Little Silver had already let go of his mouth, and returned to the river gracefully.Only the man was left in a daze staring at the clump of aquatic plants on the hook.

With this experience, Xiaoyin's longing for the world outside the water has reached the point of obsession. 2 It rained for several days in a row, and the water level of the river rose a lot. For humans, such weather is undoubtedly very bad.Every day they go out, they have to swear at God. Organisms that already live in the water are not affected.The fish are still very happy, at least no one will come to fish in this weather. Little Silver maintained the good habit of jumping out of the water several times a day, rain or shine. The wind and rain are particularly strong today, and the river is turbulent.

When Little Silver jumped out of the water, he was almost washed back by the pouring rain. "Good guy, it's raining so hard!" Little Silver vaguely thought of something. This day, he jumped out of the water more and for longer than ever before. At the end of the day, Xiaoyin returned to the residence exhausted. The neighbor Xiaobai was shocked when he saw it: "Why are you so tired?" Xiaoyin said: "I finally found a way to get out of the water!" Xiaobai asked: "What?" "With the help of rain! Aren't we fish inseparable from water? But rain is also water! If we can swim in the rain, won't we be able to leave the water?" Little Yin was very excited.

"Finally crazy!" Xiao Bai screamed. Crazy or not, from this day on, Little Silver started a protracted challenge to the rain. Little Silver knew how difficult it was to swim in the low-density rainwater.That almost requires a strong body that can escape gravity, which he doesn't have yet. Xiaoyin is determined to practice penance. The number of times he jumped out of the water per day increased from 20 to 200.Even if you just go to the neighbor Xiaobai's house, you have to use the fastest speed.If you have nothing to do, just pull the fishhook hanging from the human body to exercise your strength.

After a month, he found that such training did not satisfy him.He began to seek a breakthrough from Xiaohe itself. Going upstream has become a daily compulsory course for Xiaoyin.The fiercer the oncoming current, the higher Xiaoyin's fighting spirit. When he finally swam upstream to the end of the small river one day, he found a more difficult existence lying in front of him, that is the waterfall. The waterfall hanging down from the mountain, the deafening sound, and the splashing and shattering water.Little Silver is deeply impressed by the uncanny creations of nature. "When I can swim to the top of the waterfall, I should be more than half successful, right?" Little Silver gritted his teeth. Even there are fish in the sea, they have heard about Xiaoyin's feat.Xiaoyin became a pervert recognized by the Yu family. Xiaobai would moan and sigh to Xiaoyin several times a day, and Xiaoyin would go his own way.He reports the progress to Xiaobai every day. "Failed again today." "Still haven't found the feeling." "My strength is not enough." Xiaobai didn't know how many times he had heard such sad news, he felt that he was tired of it, how could Xiaoyin not be tired of it. Time and effort can change everything. Xiaobai gradually heard the growing excitement in Xiaoyin's tone. "I made some progress today. I seem to have swum up one meter." "I've found the trick. It's not reasonable to fight recklessly. Sometimes you have to learn to use water power." "I think I will be successful." Finally one day, Xiaoyin did not report the plot to Xiaobai on time. Xiao Bai was so worried that he decided that something happened to Xiao Yin. Xiaobai wants to find Xiaoyin, but he doesn't have the ability to go upstream to the waterfall.Xiao Bai couldn't help admiring Little Silver. In distress, Xiaobai suddenly saw something rushing down from the upper reaches, so fast that it flew out of the water several times. Xiao Bai saw Xiao Yin, and the silver scales all over his body shone dazzlingly under the moonlight. That night, Silver conquered the waterfall. 3 There is always a period of heavy rain in the south. That was the beginning of the journey that Little Silver had been looking forward to for a long time. On a rainy night, Xiaoyin left the river where she grew up and swam into the air.Become a fish that subverts the common sense of the earth. The only one who witnessed this miracle was Xiaobai, a fish. Seeing Xiaoyin aloof, basking in the connection between the sky and the earth with difficulty and joy, Xiaobai suddenly felt that his life was in vain.Only Xiaoyin's life is complete. Now if you tell him that Little Silver can swim into space forever, he will believe it without hesitation. The shock that Xiao Bai felt was less than one ten-thousandth of that felt by Xiao Yin. My ancestors crawled in the river for generations, and I could only worship the sky from the angle of looking up, and I was truly soaring by myself-what kind of satisfaction is that? Little Silver shed tears, and his tears fell to the ground together with thousands of rain lines. He swam east and west, condescendingly overlooking the black landscape. The night sky in the suburbs is clear, but not as bright and majestic as the night in the city.Little Silver involuntarily swam to the direction of light.From the natural world to the human world. In the sky of the city, Xiaoyin heard many noises other than the sound of rain, and saw countless people walking on the street with umbrellas, but Xiaoyin couldn't see their appearance clearly. Many armored monsters roared and rampaged.Someone is coming in and out of its stomach. Little Silver saw buildings taller than mountains, and concrete forests denser than forests.He thinks humans are amazing creatures. Little Silver is eager to observe humans up close.He was glad that he had other ways to approach them than being fished and boiled. The lights of a certain building made Little Silver feel peaceful, and he swam over with his tail wagging. A window he was about to approach was suddenly opened with a bang, and the head of a boy about 8 or 9 years old appeared in the window. Little Silver was so startled that he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.And the boy who saw Xiaoyin was so frightened that he fell to the ground. "Fish, fish, fish..." The boy looked out the window, his hands and vocal cords trembled in unison, severe tremors. Little Silver realized something was wrong, he swam away at the fastest speed. The boy wished he could jump out of the window as if diving into water, he wiped his eyes again and again, and finally watched Little Silver disappear into the darkness.He shouted almost frantically: "Fish, fish, fish..." He ran to the living room bang bang bang, he couldn't wait to tell his parents about it. "Why is there such a big commotion!!!" The parents of the boy who was immersed in the Korean drama were also devastated, and they chorused in dissatisfaction. "Father, Mom..." The boy's excitement has not yet passed, "Yes, there is a fish swimming in the sky!!!" The parents looked at each other in dismay, and the mother covered her face with her hands and cried, "It's all the fault of the exam-oriented education! Well, the child is stupefied and stupefied..." Dad very cooperatively assumed the posture of a thinker: "Parents all over the world should reflect! What's the point of purely pursuing scores for children..." The boy turned his head away angrily. He picked up the umbrella and opened the gate. "Where are you going so late?" Mom regained her dignity. "Look for that fish! I really saw it!" The boy was excited. "Nonsense! It's still raining outside!" Dad said angrily, "Go do your homework, kids, don't talk nonsense!" The boy went back to the room aggrieved. He was not in the mood to read, he lay on the window sill staring at the rainy night sky, longing to see the silver fish again. "I did not lie……" 4 At this moment, Xiaoyin is still visiting this city full of lights.In order to avoid being discovered by humans again, he deliberately swam very high. The modern city makes Xiaoyin admire the wisdom of human beings from the bottom of his heart, and if there is an afterlife, he would also like to be a human being. It was late at night, and Xiaoyin was also tired.Swimming in the rain required far more physical effort than anyone could imagine, and there were always gaps between the raindrops, so Little Silver even had to save his breath. Xiaoyin swam back the same way.Passing by the place where he had met the boy before, his desire to observe humans was rekindled. This time he went around to another window, and he peeped in.The house was dark and the whole family was asleep. However, Xiaoyin couldn't move his body.He saw a goldfish tank on the window sill, and a goldfish was dancing comfortably in the tank. This was the first time Xiaoyin saw a goldfish, and it was only then that he knew that he had such a beautiful and elegant kind.He stared blankly, almost forgetting the captive who continued to swim and returned to gravity. It was a female goldfish who had never left the tank since she was born.While Xiaoyin was looking at her, she also glanced out of the window inadvertently——suddenly, her face paled. And Xiaoyin got too close, knocking open the half-covered window with a bang, and Xiaoyin fell into the human room! There was no rain in the room, and Xiaoyin fell heavily to the ground. Xiaoyin struggled and thrashed, he had difficulty breathing and couldn't move freely. The goldfish called to him from across the fish tank: "Come to me quickly!" Little Silver raised his head to judge the direction, then bowed and straightened his powerful tail, and shot it up from the floor directly into the fish tank, splashing a large amount of water. Goldfish exclaimed: "Wow! You can jump so high!" Xiaoyin smiled embarrassedly.How does the goldfish know that Xiaoyin even has the ability to swim up the waterfall? "Thank you for saving me." Xiaoyin said. "Why did I save you? You relied on your own strength." The goldfish won't get rewarded for nothing. "Hey...my name is Xiaoyin." "My name is Xiaojin." "Our names are really catchy." "I think the author can't name it." "...Even if you really think so, you can't say it." "Hehe. By the way, I seemed to see you flying in the air just now..." "It's not flying, it's swimming. I'm just swimming in the rain." "Ah, that's right... But, is it really possible?" "How is it impossible? Am I not a living example?" "You are really amazing." "Hey... no... I think any fish can be like me if they try hard." "Really? I, can I, too?" "Yes. As long as you have the determination, you will definitely be able to." "Thank you……" "Hey... then shall I teach you? I started from the basic skills, first of all..." 5 The next day was the weekend and it was still a rainy day. When the whole family got up, Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin were still resting.They discussed it too late last night. The boy from yesterday came to the fish tank, ready to feed Xiaojin.Among the clusters of blisters, he saw the strange figure of Little Silver. Little Silver is a strong fish, much bigger than Little Gold. "Dad, when did the family buy fish again?" the boy asked. "Is there any? Almost all the goldfish raised before died, isn't there only one left now?" Dad brushed his teeth and walked over, "Hey, where did this fish come from?" Mom also came over to comment: "Oh, this fish is edible! It's worth at least in the market..." "Dad, Mom, do you think this is the fish I saw yesterday?" The boy was excited, "Didn't I say that I saw a fish swimming in the rain yesterday..." "Don't say stupid things early in the morning!" Father interrupted impatiently. "Hey, the fish has only one purpose, and that is to eat it." The mother comforted her son, "Mom stewed it at noon." The light in the boy's eyes dimmed, and he went back to his room. "Xiaoyin, did you hear what they said just now?" After the family members left the fish tank, Xiaojin said in a panic. "I heard that, it looks like I have to leave quickly." Xiaoyin said. "Thank you for teaching me so much, I will work hard...come back and see me when you have time." Xiao Jin said reluctantly. "When it rains, I will come to see you every day!!" Xiaoyin pointed to the sky and swore. It was too late and then quickly, before the words fell, someone suddenly grabbed Xiaoyin by the tail and lifted him out of the fish tank. "Little Silver!!" Xiao Jin shouted. Xiaoyin saw clearly that it was the hostess who arrested him, and the destination was the kitchen. Little Silver was thrown heavily on the chopping board.The hostess is sharpening her knife.She pressed Xiaoyin's body with one hand, and brought the kitchen knife closer with the other hand, and was about to start scraping the scales. Fish scales are like Xiaoyin's clothes, and Xiaoyin cannot tolerate the hostess' molestation.Before the claws came up, he threw all the water droplets on his body onto the face of the hostess. The hostess covered her face and searched for towels all over the room. There was a window in the kitchen, but it was closed. When the hostess' footsteps sounded, Xiao Yin slammed into the glass without hesitation. The sound of shattering and screaming sounded simultaneously, and Little Silver and glass shards fell together. He returned to the rain and felt the coldness of the rain, the gentleness of the rain, and the lightness of the rain. He felt like a bird, regaining the strength to fly high. His posture of thrusting straight into the sky was seen by the boy again.He firmly believed that the fleeting miracle was not his own illusion. "Mom, mom, fish..." The boy ran into the kitchen. "Don't be annoying! Don't you see the mess here!?" Mom was furious as she picked up the debris on the floor. The boy ran into the room crying and slammed the door shut. 6 Spring goes and autumn comes.It never rained again in this area. Xiaoyin has to swim to the surface of the water every day to feel the changes in the weather, but he returns disappointed every time. "Relax and wait. It can't be sunny forever." Xiao Bai comforted Xiao Yin every day. "Ah." Xiaoyin was sullen. "Xiaoyin, can you teach me how to swim in the rain?" Xiaobai said shyly. "Okay!" Little Silver was very happy, "Just in time, I plan to conduct a new round of trials recently..." "Practice what?" "I don't want to passively wait for the weather anymore. I want to see if I can swim in the air...even if it's not raining." "It's too exaggerated!!!" Xiaobai screamed, "Even if it's a fairy tale, it can't be so nonsense!!!" "Why is it impossible?" Xiaoyin said earnestly, "Isn't it an exaggeration to say that fish swim in the rain?" Xiaobai was speechless. "I believe that as long as I dare to think, dare to do, and choose the right method...my dream will come true one day." Xiaoyin said confidently. Xiaobai looked at Xiaoyin from bottom to top, at the sky hanging above his head, the sun shines on Xiaoyin through the water surface, shining dazzling light.Xiaobai felt that Xiaoyin's ambition was so lofty, so lofty that he couldn't reach it. He began to believe, like Xiao Yin, that all earth-shattering and down-to-earth dreams will come true one day. And in a city one kilometer away, in an ordinary family, there is a goldfish that repeats the training of jumping out of the water dozens or hundreds of times every day. In another room, a boy was drawing blue sky and white clouds on paper. Then, he looked up out of the window and added a fish with wings to the picture.
