【Double Dragon Group】Abba Storytelling Series

01

In a small village near the sea, there lived a handsome and tall fisherman. Some villagers envied that the fisherman's legs were longer than their waist, so they crowded together to exclude each other and drove the fisherman out of the village.

The village could not live, so the fisherman found a leeward place to build a simple cabin, and pulled his only small broken wooden boat out to sea every day to fish, barely able to support himself.

The fisherman's fishing process is both simple and rough, divided into three steps: first, cast the net; second, start to stare blankly at the sea or take a nap expressionlessly; third, draw the net.

In short, very few fish are fooled by fishermen.

The fisherman's food intake did not match his appearance at all. The small fish and shrimps couldn't fill his stomach. The fisherman's fishing net was getting bigger and bigger, and the small wooden boat was rowing farther and farther.

The fisherman's wish is to catch big fish that are about as tall as him. Unfortunately, most of the fish he catches are small fish that are about the size of his palm, with less meat and more bones.

So when the fisherman finished the first two steps and was taking the final net, he pulled the net with both hands, but didn't pull it, and then pulled the net with both hands, but still didn't pull it.

The fisherman opened his eyes wide, and this was the first time his expression changed today.

A big guy crashed into a fishing net.

Thinking of this, the fisherman suddenly felt full of strength all over his body. He pulled up with all his strength, the small wooden boat swayed, and finally the thing entangled in the fishing net surfaced, which was a child about the size of a seven or eight-year-old child. ——

mussel.

"..."

The fisherman let go of his hand, and everyone understands this truth, but why did such a big sea clam sink in the direction of the sea, and the small wooden boat capsized instantly.

02

Today is another day without big fish.

But today I harvested a big clam comparable to a big fish.

The fisherman dragged the big clam all the way home with his whole body wet, and his expressionless face inexplicably exuded a mysterious sense of accomplishment as if he had returned with a full load.

The sea mussels are oval in shape, and the shells are covered with aquatic plants and moss. When the fisherman cleaned them, he found small fishes as thick as fingers. After cleaning, the shells were actually light pink, and the fisherman's fingers swiped on them.

The fisherman's eyes were empty, and he felt hungry.

Sea mussels, the thicker the shell, the more tender the meat, is well-deserved as the most delicious ingredient among many seafood.

Braised sea mussels, steamed sea mussels, fried sea mussels... But no matter which one you need to pry open the shell first.

The fisherman frowning is still very handsome. He looked at the iron rod that was almost bent into a fishhook in his hand, then at the several wooden sticks that broke tragically on the ground, and then at the motionless and solid sea mussels. He wanted to eat mussels The heart of meat refuses to give up.

Reluctantly, he couldn't find a new tool to pry open the clam shell, so the fisherman had to eat the small fish hidden in the aquatic plants on the clam shell, and put the sea clam upright in the water tank to raise it.

There is no way, I can't put it in.

After spending the night in such peace and harmony, the next day the fisherman went fishing as usual, but when he returned home, he saw the small wooden table full of prepared seafood, and the aroma rushed to his face. The fisherman was silent for a while, and suddenly sat down at the table, Began to eat.

03

The sea mussel brought back by the fisherman is not an ordinary sea mussel.

First of all, it is bigger than ordinary sea clams, secondly it is a clam essence, the kind of clam essence that can turn into a human, and finally it has a name, called Yimulian.

Although I don't know why I have to give myself such a human name, but it doesn't prevent the big fish and small fish around me from liking Yimulian, swimming around the shells every day and chatting about fishes.

Yimulian also likes to listen to fish chatting. Someday, their topic becomes a very good-looking fisherman. It is rare to reach a consensus on the aesthetics of fish. Their favorite thing every day is to watch the fisherman cast a net to catch fish, and then avoid the fish. Open the fishing net and see that the fisherman returned empty-handed without catching anything.

Occasionally, a small fish with little experience was fascinated by it, accidentally crashed into the fishing net, and never came back.

Yimulian stays in the clamshell, opens a crack slightly to listen to the fish continue to talk about today's fishermen, he envies them for their dexterous swimming bodies, and they can come and go freely in the sea. .

One day Yimulian decided to float up to take a look at the fisherman who was collectively praised by the fish. The clam shell was big and heavy. He began to float up slowly at night and did not approach the sea until the next day.

Then he was caught by a fishing net that fell from the sky.

"..."

The clam spirit began to struggle slowly, and when the fisherman fished him out of the sea, he began to think about an important question about clam life.

He should... not be tasty, right?

04

Fortunately, the fisherman did not eat the clam essence, but raised it in a water tank.

Yimulian thought with emotion that such a non-greedy human being is rare, so while the fisherman was out, he transformed into a human form, took out a pearl from the clam shell, and went to the village to exchange for a lot of delicious seafood.

Carefully opened the clam shells, peeking at the fisherman eating the seafood, the fishes were right, the fisherman's appearance was more dazzling and charming than his pearls, even the appearance of peeling the shrimp shells looked like a painting.

When the fisherman was full, he closed the clam shell with one eye. The clam shell was thick and soundproof, but he clearly felt the heat of the fisherman's fingers resting on the clam shell.

Since then, Yimulian has gone to the village every day to buy seafood and miscellaneous daily necessities. With his gentle and polite temperament, he has won the trust of most villagers, and is often given other things as extra gifts.

Yimulian also asked the women in the village for sewing clothes. When the fisherman went to sea, he sat on the fisherman's bed and carefully mended the other's broken clothes.

The sound of the fisherman's footsteps coming back every day was like some kind of tacit reminder, and he ran back to hide in the clamshell, and after hearing what happened to the fisherman from the women's mouths, he felt more pity for the fisherman.

05

The fisherman lived a life of eating seafood every day, and the cabin became more and more homely, and gradually filled with trivial items, especially the clothes that were always repaired like new on the bed.

Sometimes, the fisherman is actually a very smart person, such as the heavy footsteps when approaching the house, or hiding in the hidden bushes and watching the "person" in his house push the door out.

The "man" tied up his hair, which was a little darker than clam shells, and calmly wore his long-lost clothes, which were changed to a suitable size. The fisherman silently watched the other person walking briskly towards the village.

He re-entered the door, and saw at a glance that the clam shell that had broken the wooden and iron rods was now open, and inside it was like a comfortable and soft nest, with dozens of beautiful pearls scattered in the nest.

The fisherman began to think about an important question about life—the sea clam that has grown into a sperm...

Can you eat?

However, before this problem was solved, the fisherman continued to go fishing every day as usual, but when he caught a fish the size of a human arm, he was greeted by an empty cabin, no cooked meals, and a bed like Just as flat as it left in the morning.

06

The villagers who had bullied the fisherman in the village knocked Yimulian unconscious and locked him up. They were greedy for the pearl in Yimulian's hand, and followed Yimulian to the fisherman's cabin. They believed that the pearl in the opponent's hand came from the fisherman, and suddenly had bad thoughts.

However, the current fisherman is not the fisherman they bullied casually in the past.

When Yimulian woke up, he found that he was back on the bed in the cabin, and he was being held in his arms. The person holding him was none other than the fisherman he would peek at every day and night.

There was a burst of steam on his face, as if he had been roasted on a fire.

Yimulian gently moved away the arm around his waist, but unexpectedly when he got up and got out of bed, that arm hugged his waist again, and then pulled it back.

"Where?"

Yimulian fell on the fisherman, and the other party's voice sounded from above, which seemed to be a simple question.

The fisherman continued, "Dinner is not ready yet."

Yimulian was still in a daze of being seen through, and subconsciously said, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"Sea mussels," said the fisherman, "I haven't eaten for a long time."

"..."

There seemed to be a big pot in front of Yimulian's eyes, and his clam shells were floating in the pot, "I... sea clams are not good to eat." He whispered.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but the other party's voice got closer and closer, and finally stopped in his ear, with a calm but meaningful tone.

"Whether it tastes good or not, let's talk after eating."

Yimulian realized what was wrong, and it was too late to run away. The fisherman pressed him on the bed and ate it over and over again.

07

"...The bad guy was beaten away by the fisherman and received the punishment he deserved, but the clam spirit was accepted by the fisherman and willingly stayed with the fisherman. They didn't care about gender or race, and lived happily ever after. "

Abba closed the fairy tale book, and said to the little shikigami around him, "This is the end of today's story."

"Abba, Aba, you haven't said what the fisherman's brother is called!"

"Abba, does this story tell us that clam meat is the best among seafood!"

"Dad..."

The little Shikigami were chirping, and Dad coughed twice solemnly, and said earnestly, "The name is not important, and seafood is not the point. What this story really tells us is—"

"Clam essence Yimulian is really a hit!"
