Fish Notes

Chapter 3 The Fish in the Bucket

Well, later experience told him that this matter is not over yet.

Before dawn, the little fisherman went out to sea as usual.Those schools of fish still hula-la swam over, as if they hadn't seen the fishing net, they burrowed in hard.Moreover, the boat didn't make half a circle, and the nets had been pulled up several times, and they often returned with a full load, some of which were catches that could only be seen in very deep waters.

If you still can't see the problem, the little fisherman is too stupid.

He silently cleaned up the lively fish, shrimps and crabs in the cabin, then turned his head, and sure enough, he saw two little hands holding on to the edge of the boat, and then his little head with a mess of aquatic plants sticking out of the water, facing him " Ahhh" laughed.

Thinking about it this way, it must have been the little mermaid's mischief before, flicking its tail to drive all the creatures that could swim in the sea into the net, and secretly stuffing the fish and shrimps it caught from very deep places into the net holes.After a few days of patience, the little fisherman didn't find out, so he grabbed the hook while fishing and pulled him into the water.

Unable to bear being exposed for a while, the little mermaid didn't hide at all. Whenever the little fisherman went out to sea, he would stick to the edge of the boat, thumping and jumping out as if playing.The little fisherman was amused by its stupidity, and bent down to tear off the seaweed and other things from his little head, straightening out the messy and intertwined hair: "Although I don't know if mermaids have etiquette, you are still a little lady." , how can it be so sloppy."

The little mermaid obediently let him play with her, raised her head and showed a bright smile, her big watery eyes were narrowed, and her long eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly.After the little fisherman stroked the top of its hair, he followed him and stretched out his hand, raising his eyebrows as if he felt strange about the handful in his hand.It turned out that the little fisherman remembered the little daughter of a rich family whom he saw when he went to the market. Not only had a few braids on her head, but she also wore shiny hair accessories.Although he doesn't have a bow tie in his hand now, and he doesn't know how to braid a child's hair, so he picked a grass stem and tied up the little mermaid's hair. Difference.

After being restless for a while, the little mermaid became mischievous again, and kept climbing up to get into the boat.Helplessly, the board was slippery with seawater, and the little hands were not flexible enough, and the fish tail could not help kick it up, so it had to thump desperately.The little mermaid shouted anxiously, with a soft voice, but the little fisherman could not understand.

Well, the little fisherman softened his heart, and stretched his hands over the sides of the little mermaid's body, raised his arms, hugged her, and put it beside his legs.The little mermaid who has successfully arrived at the new place feels fresh, looks left, touches right, and shows a confused look.The little fisherman hesitated again and again, but still couldn't control his ready-to-move hands, and secretly rubbed the big tail that was shining in the sun. "Huh?" The little mermaid turned her head, not only didn't show disgust, but also turned around generously so that he could move his waist further.

The little fisherman accidentally caught a glimpse of its flat chest, his ears turned red, and he quickly closed his eyes.Although the little mermaid doesn't look big, she is still a girl, and her tail can still touch the lower part of her body, but the upper part, especially the naked upper body, is what he has to avoid.Feeling that the little mermaid was pulling his sleeves, the little fisherman simply took off his coat again, fumbled to put it on the little mermaid, and then opened his eyes.

No way, mermaids are different from human beings, they have no concept of being naked or not, at least the little mermaid wears clothes that are several times too big, just like the wandering entertainers that the little fisherman once saw dancing, swaying from side to side in a funny way, thinking very interesting.It looked even smaller, and for a moment, Yuanyuan's face turned red, probably because she was a little hot, and she hummed softly.

"No, you have to go into the water or be caught." Having said that, the little fisherman was also worried that it would be uncomfortable out of the water for too long, so he thought about picking up a small wooden bucket in the cabin. The cold sea water slowly poured onto the little mermaid's tail.It seems to have relieved a lot, the little mermaid clapped her hands happily, shaking her head and wanting more, but the little fisherman refused, if this goes on, it will just stay on the boat and see if the sky turns gloomy, maybe soon It's going to rain.

His small boat can't stand heavy rain, and it is easy to be taken away from the original route when the wind and waves are strong. "Let's go, I'm going back." The little fisherman held his small body tightly in his arms, regardless of whether he was a gentleman or a lady, and wanted to let the little mermaid go back obediently, after all, mermaids are not afraid of rough seas.However, the little mermaid's eyes quickly filled with tears, she pursed her lips and refused to leave, her hands were still grabbing the little fisherman's collar, and she kept wriggling.

"Okay, okay..." Couldn't help being coquettish, and seeing the dark clouds in the sky thicken layer by layer, the little fisherman hurriedly let go, let the little mermaid climb into the cabin by herself, and then rushed to the shore.

Fortunately, the speed was fast, after the boat was tied up, it was already drizzling when the little mermaid was taken out.Of course, the fish tail couldn't be exposed, it was tightly covered with clothes, and it was much darker now, and his house was not far away, so no one saw it all the way.As soon as I went back, the dense raindrops formed a line, pouring down from the sky overwhelmingly, and a thick rain curtain fell straight down.

Ignoring himself, the little fisherman hurriedly put the little mermaid into the big bucket at home, which contained the well water he dug up yesterday.The little mermaid's nose twitched a few times, as if she didn't smell the familiar salty and bitter smell, she sank to the bottom of the bucket a little disappointed.But it seemed to know that it was not right to forcefully follow in, so it stayed quietly with its mouth pursed, not as noisy as it was just now.

"Are you uncomfortable?" The little fisherman walked over, looked at it for a while, and then suddenly realized, scratching his head or putting on his cloak and going out, he did not forget to lock the door before leaving.After a while, he came back with a few wooden barrels, and the unique salty and bitter smell of sea water wafted through the little mermaid's spirits, flicking his tail and splashing water on the little fisherman's face.Mixing in the seawater little by little, the little mermaid spun around happily, but the bucket was relatively small, and soon got tired of it, so she lay on the edge and tilted her head to stare at the little fisherman.

What is the little fisherman doing?He was processing the fish he brought back, and after bringing sea water to the little mermaid, he ran another trip to the boat to bring back a messy hold of fish and shrimp.It seems that most of them are half-dead, and they are not very likely to be sold. The little fisherman feels a little pity, and decides to keep these for himself to eat.

The little mermaid screamed again, with longing in her eyes—through the open kitchen door, she was looking at the disembowelled fish in the little fisherman's hand. "Hungry?" The little fisherman tentatively cut off a piece of bright red fish, dangled it in front of the little mermaid, and was caught off guard and pulled, causing him to shrink back in fright.Of course, the thing in his hand had already been eaten, and the little mermaid licked her lips in recollection, then raised her head and grinned.The little fisherman simply cut up the fresh ones and picked some fat parts to feed the little mermaid.At the end of the meal, the little mermaid burped contentedly, and patted her bulging stomach with her little hands, she seemed full.Seeing that the little fisherman didn't care about it any more, he sank down by himself, playing with his fingers.When the little fisherman finished the work at hand, he looked back and saw that the little mermaid had already narrowed her eyes, and a few bubbles leaked from her mouth and floated to the surface of the water, bursting with a "bang".

It's so cute. The little fisherman fiddled with the small cup on top of its head, which made the little mermaid twist impatiently in her dream, and still curled up and fell asleep peacefully.

The rain stopped a long time ago. Open the window and look out. Not far away, every house is lit up, and the smoke from cooking is slowly dissipating in the wind.The little fisherman was also tired, so he ate hastily and washed up. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to move the bucket and fish to his room.

Naturally, he didn't disturb the little mermaid, he crept onto the bed, glanced at the little figure in the bucket before going to sleep, lay down and wrapped the quilt tightly.Go to sleep, go to sleep, let's talk about tomorrow.
