Chapter 14 Little carp crying and laughing

The golden little carp and his companions were meeting each other and crying together, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!" An old green shrimp turned somersaults, walked backwards to the little carp, stroked its long beard, and asked them: "Why are you so sad!" The little carp wiped away tears, looked at the old green shrimp and said: "Our brothers and sisters are going to jump the dragon gate. We are hungry after swimming here and want to find something to eat. One of our brothers saw a red earthworm and just went up to bite it. One mouthful, who would have thought that the red earthworm would be worn on an iron hook, and he would fly out of the water with a 'hoo' sound, and disappeared." Then they cried even more sadly.

Just as the old green shrimp wanted to comfort them, the little carps suddenly exclaimed: "Look, that red earthworm is coming again!" They ran away while screaming. The old green shrimp stroked his long beard and said to the little carps, "Don't panic, let me go and have a look." "Be careful!" cried the little carps, looking worriedly at the old green shrimp swimming towards the red earthworm. After a while, the old green shrimp came back, and he told everyone: "This is a trap set by people. The red earthworm is worn on an iron hook, and the iron hook is tied to a line. It is here to catch you."

"Then... what should we do?" A little carp named Yuantou asked in fear. The old green shrimp shook his head: "Leave it alone." "But... maybe some gluttonous brothers and sisters, go and bite the red earthworm..." The little golden carp looked worriedly at the brothers and sisters, and then at the old green shrimp.The old green shrimp rolled his eyes a few times and said: "That's true." Suddenly, he swung two long spears and rushed towards the red earthworm, saying, "With my old green shrimp here, I guarantee your safety!" "Thank you, Mr. Green Shrimp!"

"Long live the old green shrimp father-in-law!" The little carps cheered.Unexpectedly, there was another "huh", and the old green shrimp flew out of the water before it even had time to say "goodbye" to the little carps. "Woo woo woo..." The little carps cried even more sadly. A gray crab crawled sideways and asked the little carp, "What makes you so sad?" The little golden carp told the young gray crab all about it. After hearing this, the gray crab raised two big pincers, only heard two "clicks", and cut off the two aquatic plants.

"Good job!" The little carps cheered. At this time, the red earthworm with the long string appeared again.The little carps immediately became uneasy.The gray crab looked at the little carps, waved its two tongs, and shouted loudly: "Who doesn't know how powerful I am as a rampant general!" Saying this, he pushed towards the red earthworm. "General Gray Crab, don't...don't..." The little golden carp rushed up to stop him. "General Gray Crab, it's dangerous!" All the little carp stepped forward to dissuade him. The gray crab pushed away the little carps and rushed to the red earthworm.Just as his two tongs touched the long wire, he felt his body fly up.If he hadn't let go of the pliers so quickly, he would never have come back.

He didn't wait for the little carp to swim over, and quickly hid in the cave, not daring to see the little carp again. "Woooooo..." The little carps cried so sadly.They want to leave this place. "Leave like this? It's too cheap for him!" The little golden carp imagined the man on the shore, when he lifted up the long line tied to the red earthworm, there was a little carp with a red tail and a green shrimp. I jumped and laughed with joy. "We also have to find a way to teach him a lesson." Short Fin suggested. "Yes, at least give him a little embarrassment!" Yuantou said.

Everyone surrounded the full-colored little carp, because he was everyone's head. But how could he teach the man on the shore a lesson?They couldn't go fishing for that man. At this time, the red earthworm with the long line appeared not far from them again. "Stay away!" The little golden carp warned his companions, but he himself swam around the red earthworm. As he swam back past the door of General Gray Crab's cave, he had a great idea. "Everyone come with me!" He greeted, and swam to the entrance of General Gray Crab's stone cave.The little carps followed behind.

The little golden carp stopped not far from General Gray Crab's cave, pointed to a broken shoe at the bottom of the water, and said, "Let's get it to the red earthworm." "Let him catch a broken shoe!" Some of the little carp held it with their mouths, and some with their heads, and moved the broken shoe to the side of the red earthworm. However, just halfway through the walk, the broken shoe could no longer be moved. It turned out that there were many aquatic plants growing here, which entangled it. "Oh, this time... there is no other way." The little carps were a little discouraged.

Suddenly the broken shoe moved again.The little carps saw that General Gray Crab was using his two big pincers to cut off the aquatic plants, making way for them! "Thank you General Gray Crab!" The little carp quickly moved the broken shoe to the red earthworm, and the little golden carp hung the shoelace on the iron hook with its tail. When the little carps bid farewell to General Gray Crab and continued on their way to find Longmen, the broken shoe suddenly flew out of the water, and they seemed to have heard a burst of happy cheers from the shore, followed by a surprised "Ah——".

Anyone can imagine that the man spent so much effort, but what he caught was a worn-out shoe, and he looked so embarrassed... The little carps laughed so happily, so happily.
