Chapter Eleven Catching Crabs in a Small Pool
The weather is getting cooler day by day, and the mountains of Muyue Mountain are gradually losing their green clothes. The trees in the forest, decorated with red and yellow colors, are like dressed-up girls with smiles on their eyes and eyebrows.
Except for those green pines and cypresses, the trees have all changed into new clothes. Just like the little deer who still fish every day, the new disciples have become accustomed to the sect life of respecting their teachers, working hard and listening to their lessons.
The warm sun hangs diagonally in the sky, and occasionally a few cool breezes blow by, bringing with it the delicious smell of slightly sweet flowers and fruits and fresh soil. There is a small clear pool in the small valley hidden by layers of trees.
There is a small figure lying in the corner.
The deer was only wearing a close-fitting jacket, half of its body was immersed in the pool, and half of its body was leaning on a large bluestone beside the pool. One small hand was placed behind its head to support its wet head, and the other small hand was holding
He picked up the wild fruits placed on the bluestone and put them into his mouth one by one. While eating, he muttered something in his mouth.
"Young people don't know what it's like to be sad. When you're young, you leave home and your boss returns."
"When he was dying of illness, he sat up in shock and asked with a smile where the visitor came from."
"Spring is tired, autumn is tired, and summer takes a nap, but the weather is cool and it's a good autumn."
"Hiccup."
Xiaolu rubbed her somewhat round belly and recalled the few poems she had learned from Liu Xiucai in the village. She thought to herself: Although she has not been touched by Ah for more than two months since her aunt came to her house last time.
My mother memorized the poems with a carrying pole, but she still remembered these poems clearly. Sure enough, the teaching method of the uncles in the sect must be wrong. After all, she, Mr. Lu, is not an idiot. I think back when I was in Liu
When the scholar's family was studying, there were so many children in the village, but she was the only one who was praised by Liu Xiucai every day for her extraordinary talent. She also asked her mother to return the dried meat, rice and noodles sent by her father, saying that she was not worthy of being a child.
Teacher, I deserve it. Although she is a bit smarter than others, she is still easy to get along with. There is no need to be so ashamed. Hey, sometimes being too talented can cause problems for those around you.
Troubled.
Xiao Lu leaned against the big blue stone and thought wildly. One moment he thought of Xiao Hong who always liked to show off in front of her, and the next moment he thought of the little dog who snatched half a bunch of candied haws from her when she wasn't paying attention and was driven from the end of the village to the end of the village so scared that she cried for father and mother.
, and Aunt Wang who always invites her to come over to eat, thinking of her father and mother...
The little deer's little mouth shrank, and a thin layer of mist rose in the round black eyes. He threw the fruit in his hand away, straightened up, and planned to put on his clothes and go back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stood up, the soles of my feet felt a slight pain, as if they had been pecked by shrimps and crabs at the bottom of the water. The deer was already a little unhappy, but these little shrimps just happened to be in trouble. Now the deer was not in a hurry to leave.
She took a deep breath and plunged into the pool. Today she was going to catch some crabs and go back to make porridge!
The water in this small pool is very clear, which does not affect your vision in the water. I can see that the bottom of the pool is covered with a layer of colorful pebbles of different sizes, and some green water plants sway with the water waves, and sometimes some bodies are slightly translucent.
Tiny shrimps, glowing green and not much bigger than soybeans, walked among the aquatic plants.
No, these are too small, I'd better catch a few big ones.
The deer ignored these small shrimps and swam straight forward. The terrain at the bottom of the pond sloped slightly, and the aquatic plants in the deeper parts were much denser, so it was obvious that there would be more harvest.
After swimming forward for a while, the deer still couldn't find a target that could catch his eye, so he had to surface to take a breath, and then dived down again without hesitation.
After searching for a while, the deer finally found a palm-sized crab. The deer's eyes lit up, and he pounced on it with his hands in his pockets. Unexpectedly, the crab was very dexterous in the water, and it hid in a flash.
He disappeared into the water plants and disappeared.
The little deer was anxious and annoyed, chasing the crabs into the water grass, only to find that there were many crabs hidden inside, which were much larger than those outside. Almost all of them were about the same size as the ones she had just discovered, and some were even bigger than the ones she had just discovered.
The one just now was two times bigger.
But it was a pity that not a single deer was caught, because when she just rushed in, the crabs fled in all directions, and not a single one was seen.
The deer was a little unwilling and searched again and again in the water plants, even turning over the pebbles underneath to take a look.
...
The deer turned over another big stone, but still found nothing. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and thought to himself, he might as well go back, since it was almost time for dinner anyway.
At this moment, the "pebble" in the deer's hand suddenly moved, and the deer was startled and hurriedly let go of his hand. Looking closer, he saw that the pebble he just held was not a pebble, but a pebble with eight legs curled up.
The big crab was bigger than any I had seen before, and it also had white patterns on its back that looked like a pair of eyes.
The little deer couldn't help being frightened, and hurriedly kicked her legs out of the water. Such a big crab was almost as big as her head. If it was attacked by its big claw, it would be a disaster.
The little deer stepped back again with lingering fear, and then looked into the water again. He thought that this crab would fly away like the previous ones. However, unexpectedly, the big crab didn't even move.
The eight legs curled up under my belly never stretched out.
Could this be a dead crab?
After waiting for a while, there was still no reaction from it. The deer became bolder, swam up to it, poked it with his finger, and swam away quickly.
Still no response.
Give it a pinch.
Still no response.
Even the deer tried to help it straighten the crab's legs, but it remained indifferent...
In the end, the deer decided to take the crab back.
Although she didn't understand why it was motionless, after careful observation by the deer, she was sure that it was a live crab.
Why?
Because when you press down its eyeballs, it will pop back up again...
Look, it’s a crab, it’s still alive!
