Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

2023 8 Month 24 Day.

The weather is cloudy.

The black water behind him looked like a monster with its mouth wide open.

I mixed in the school of fish, trying my best to move forward, forward.

Yes, I, Wang Defa, have turned into a small yellow croaker.

A small yellow croaker that has lived in the waters near Hokkaido for generations. It is less than half a month old, suffers from frequent amnesia, and has plump meat.

Having had enough of the good life, they are now dumping nuclear waste water into the sea.

They announced it today.

In the high-definition footage of the news, fully armed men wearing gas masks blocked the gate, bent over, bowed, shouted "Smith", and counted down from one, two, three before they started to pour out.

They fart!

A long time ago, I heard my great aunt say -

Because it was mentioned repeatedly, I never forgot it.

Over the past decade or so, large numbers of fish and shrimp have been dying silently and with their bellies turned white in our sea area, without any clear reason.

The dead fish floated onto the beach, no one paid any attention to it, and the beach became smelly.

The dead fish sank to the bottom of the sea and even the big fish were afraid to eat them for fear of getting food poisoning.

The dense seaweed and corals near the coast were dying visibly quickly, and they had no way to escape.

【Pooh! 】

Life is so bad, bah!

As soon as I opened my mouth, bubbles came out, all of which were "Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah".

The main force rushed together and I was caught in the middle, which saved some energy.

The originally clear sea water behind was gradually dyed black.

The companions who lagged behind were devoured.

The big yellow croaker next to me slapped me with its tail.

[Wake up and swim quickly. If you fall behind, no fish will care about you! ]

I didn't have time to think about it anymore, so I swung my tail desperately to move forward, which attracted several brothers from the tribe behind me to rush forward with all their strength.

If you don't charge, you will die.

Fortunately, the spread of the black water was slowed down by waves.

I don't know whether there is a dragon palace deep in the sea. This raging storm came at the right time. Maybe there really are gods.

Nuclear waste continues to be dumped into the sea.

The waves turned into water waves and slapped back fiercely.

Angry waves roared into the sky.

The little guys were so scared that they left the mess and ran away.

Black water was still gurgling out of the sluice gate, like an abscess that could not be stopped no matter what.

The waves mixed with black water collapsed the houses on the coast, and the low wooden buildings disintegrated in an instant and turned into debris.

The coastline was flooded by black water. People were screaming and struggling in the water, floating and sinking, desperate and helpless, just like us fish.

【Pooh】

Why call home?

My memory is always fragmented. When I just remember something about my past life, it only takes six or seven seconds before the memory begins to fade away again.

Then remember and forget again.

I remembered what happened in the pet hospital in my previous life.

I also remember many places I wandered in my previous lives.

These stupid people are so selfish and cruel that they don't even care about the lives of their own people.

I was so scared that I cried, and my tears mixed with the surging sea water.

Even this horrific experience today that almost destroyed the world, I don’t know how long I can remember it.

Maybe in a few seconds, I will forget it too.

The tribe is not very united and everyone is very tired.

After being blocked by a huge coral reef, the column that was lined up in a row was split into two and everyone dispersed.

I have no choice. I am stuck in the gap between big fish. If I relax, I will fall behind and be completely abandoned by the group.

My cousin asked me if I wanted to go with him to his wife's parents' home.

I heard that there is a wise turtle grandpa who has lived for nearly a thousand years.

He is well-informed and might know how to escape this disaster.

I refuse to go.

Even though I am just a small yellow croaker only one finger long, I am unwilling to be a live-in son-in-law.

My cousin walked away with a pout, and my sister-in-law swam ahead with her tail wagging and her head held high.

I vaguely noticed that my sister-in-law's belly was bulging, as if she was pregnant, so I felt more hopeful.

There are all kinds of strange shrimps and crabs in the coral reefs. They seem to be unaware of the danger from the outside world and are very relaxed and comfortable.

I was hungry, so I dived in and the conch was crunchy.

Disrupting the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, a red and yellow clownfish popped its head out from the coral with a somewhat annoyed tone.

[Hey, what are you guys doing in such a hurry? Is there a shark coming?! ]

The clownfish squeezed over with half a piece of seaweed in its mouth.

[Ah, how can you be so ignorant? People on the shore are dumping black water into our sea. I heard it is industrial wastewater produced by the production of nuclear weapons. It is very poisonous. If it sticks to your body, you will die.]

【What?◇?】

The clownfish's eyes almost popped out, and it spat out the seaweed and asked hurriedly.

[The sea is flowing. The people on the shore don't care about our lives, but don't they want to live? Oh my god, is it too late to run now?! ]

When I saw its panic-stricken look, it was as if I saw myself running for my life at that moment.

【I have to hurry and inform my friends! 】

The clownfish nodded hurriedly, then turned around and scurried away.

I looked in the direction I came from, and there was no trace of black water to my naked eye.

But it will definitely catch up.

The clear blue scene before my eyes seemed like a dream that would burst with a single poke.

I remember that the southwest was a peaceful country, and perhaps there was a place for me.

The road was not peaceful. Many of their peers learned the bad news from their news channels and fled for their lives like headless flies.

When dolphins are in mating season, they eat very ferociously.

Especially since I'm on their menu.

Fortunately, I was running slowly and the distance between me and the dolphins was getting farther and farther.

Half a month has passed.

After crossing a long and narrow strait, we arrived at a larger sea area.

It is still the waters of our country.

There are fewer and fewer companions.

They blamed me, saying that I was a liar and that I had tricked them into leaving their homeland.

The ecological environment of the strait is very good, and many fish stay and refuse to leave.

I have grown a lot, my tail is strong, and I eat ferociously, accepting all kinds of small fish and shrimps.

Passing by the country of Smecta.

The fishermen cast their nets and caught many big fish.

He sneered at a tiny thing like me that could slip through the mesh of the net.

I smelled the sour smell of kimchi coming from their boat and my mouth watered.

Then head south.

Another half month passed and I no longer had any companions.

The sea area of ​​Simida Kingdom is not small, and I am about to cross it.

A big net blocked my way.

What a pity, I can’t get out of the mesh this time.

I have never left the water since I was born.

This time I got what I wanted.

The fishing net was quickly pulled into the air by the machine. During the few seconds of pause, I saw the waves in the distance. They were gentle and tender, with a clean and clear blue color.

The nuclear waste water has not yet been rolled here.

Seagulls are circling overhead.

The Smita people laughed and opened the heavy fishing nets.

I fell onto the deck along with everyone else, but it wasn't until soon that I would be killed.

[Oppa Oppa Smita~]

I stared over with wide eyes and saw a pair of gray-brown bird claws grabbing my head squarely, with its nails digging deeply into the gills.

It's a parrot, a macaw.

The small yellow croaker successfully escaped from Hokkaido and died.
