clown clown fish

"Cao Mu?" Shen Dong sat up and opened the window. After sleeping and waking up to see Cao Mu, he still felt unreal.

"I've been knocking for a long time," Cao Mu smiled and lay down on the window sill, and stretched out his hand in front of him, "Here."

"What, what?" Shen Dong backed away, Cao Mu pinched his fingers, but he couldn't see what it was, so he pulled back the light cord beside the bed, and the lights in the room turned on.

"Scale, don't you want to see it?" Cao Mu raised his hand.

"Oh." Shen Dong stretched out his hand, and Cao Mu carefully placed a small scale in the palm of his hand.

Shen Dong picked up the scales, looked under the light, and identified the concentric circles on them.

After seeing it clearly, he was a little speechless. This method of judging age seems to be applied to Cao Mu...

"How old is it?" Cao Mu asked expectantly, still lying on the window sill.

"Three." Shen Dong got out of bed, went to open the door, and signaled Cao Mu to enter the room.

Cao Mu happily trotted into the room: "Three? Three years old?"

"Yeah." Shen Dong put the scales on the table, three years old.

"Then how old are you?" Cao Mu didn't feel much about the conclusion that he was only three years old, and seemed quite happy.

"two two……"

"Two years old? That's younger than me!" Cao Mu shouted.

Shen Dong closed his eyes and took a breath. He originally wanted to correct Cao Mu that he was not called two years old, saying that two years old would be smoother, but the focus was obviously not on two years old. He pointed at Cao Mu: "First, close first, Shut up."

"Ah."

"25." Shen Dong said.

"Ah? How much?" Cao Mu was stunned.

It can be seen that Cao Mu has no concept of age, but he knows that these two numbers are almost too much.

Cao Mu frowned and pondered for a while: "The difference is 22, can't you? Would you watch it?"

Shen Dong glanced at him, but didn't make a sound.

As long as it is not eaten, fished, or sick, the lifespan of a clownfish is about ten years. Even if Cao Mu is an old fish, he is only in his teens.

Shen Dong didn't bother to explain so much to him, this couldn't be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and if he stumbled along the way, Shen Dong was afraid that he might forget what he said before.

He took the dial to look at the time, and estimated what time it is now. He had to go to the duty room. When Uncle Chen was away, he basically stayed in the lighthouse all day in case of emergencies.

"How could there be such a big difference?" Cao Mu couldn't figure it out.

Shen Dong took a set of clean clothes, and planned to take a shower before passing the tower to be on duty.

"Why are you going?" Cao Mu followed him out.

"Crush."

"Rush for what?"

What else can I take in the shower!Shen Dong sighed and turned his head to look at him, then continued to walk out the door: "Take a shower."

"Take a shower? Why do you need to take a shower? It's enough to just soak in the sea." Cao Mu asked again with some incomprehension.

Only then did Shen Dong remember that Cao Mu was soaking in the sea all day, wouldn't it be uncomfortable not to take a shower?He stopped, and returned his hand curiously to touch Cao Mu's arm.

"Hitting someone again!" Cao Mu was taken aback, and turned back while he stretched out his hand.

"...No." Shen Dong touched his waist, Cao Mu was not wearing a shirt, he was a little surprised to find that Cao Mu's body was very smooth, he didn't look like he just came up after soaking in sea water.

Because it is a fish and not a human?

"Ouch!" Cao Mu yelled with a smile and avoided it, "Itchy."

Seeing Cao Mu like this, Shen Dong also smiled. He had never seen such a ticklish person, and he reacted so much just by touching him.

"You're laughing!" Cao Mu glanced at him and shouted, as if he suddenly discovered that Shen Dong was actually an octopus.

"I..." Shen Dong didn't bother to talk to him, took his clothes and walked around to the bathroom behind the house, and closed the door against Cao Mu's nose.

"Why do you close the door? I can't see anyone, so it's boring to chat," Cao Mu leaned against the door and said towards the inside, "Is it because you don't wear clothes? Can't people see it? But you also look at me..."

Shen Dong yanked the door open, the wet towel in his hand slapped Cao Mu's face with water, and then closed the door: "Shut up!"

"You have a bad temper," Cao Mu wiped the water off his face, and didn't continue. He squatted outside the door and listened to the sound of water inside. After a while, he raised his hand and knocked on the door as if remembering something, " Shen Dong, laugh again and let me listen, just like hahahaha."

"Why." Shen Dong asked in a muffled voice inside.

"Hahahahahaha," Cao Mu laughed a few times, then knocked on the door again, "Will you stutter if you laugh like this, haha, ha, hahaha..."

Cao Mu was squatting at the door with his mouth open hahaha, when the door opened suddenly, Shen Dong rushed out naked with a towel covering his bottom, and kicked him on the shoulder.

Cao Mu was unprepared. Although Shen Dong kicked him with bare feet, he kicked with great force. This kick landed on his shoulder firmly and without wasting any force.

"Hey!" Cao Mu was kicked to the ground, and when he jumped up rubbing his shoulders, Shen Dong had already returned to the bathroom and was about to close the door.

He rushed over and pushed the door shut: "Don't close it!"

Shen Dong ignored him, and just pushed the door out, but after pushing twice, he found that the door didn't move at all. He held a towel in one hand to block himself and couldn't push the door with the other hand, so he had to lean his back on the door Push it out.

"Why do you always hit people!" Cao Mu shouted.

Shen Dong knocked on the door twice more, and found that Cao Mu was quite strong, he was already a little annoyed, but after hearing this sentence, he became even angrier.

Why are you beating someone?If you hadn't been struggling with the "stuttering" thing, who the hell would have the time to beat you!

"Let me tell you," Shen Dong stepped aside abruptly, and pointed at Cao Mu's nose, "I'm so fucking annoying when someone mentions stuttering to me, if you mention it again, believe it or not, I'll chop you up Make a hot and sour fish and eat it!"

Cao Mu was stunned by his call. He stared at Shen Dong for a long time without saying a word. After a while, he pointed down to Shen Dong: "Aren't you blocking it? I saw it all."

"Don't you want to see it! Let's see it!" Shen Dong said with a cold face.

"I didn't say I wanted to see it," Cao Mu looked at him, and took two steps back. He wanted to say that you don't stutter anymore, but after hesitating, he still didn't dare to say it. Although Shen Dong didn't smile at him before, he also He has never been so fierce to him like now, he lowered his head and whispered, "I won't say anything."

The door was slammed shut with a "bang", and Shen Dong's voice came from inside: "Stop standing here, what should you do!"

"Oh." Cao Mu responded, looked at the closed door, stayed there for a while, then turned and walked away slowly.

After taking a shower, Shen Dong went directly into the duty room, and after the routine inspection, he turned on the computer. While the computer was starting up, he suddenly wanted to smoke.

The cigarette was thrown in the house but he didn't bring it back, and he was too lazy to go back to the house to get it. After wandering around the duty room for a long time, he found Uncle Chen's hookah and shredded tobacco.

He is not used to smoking this stuff, it chokes, and it still has a strange smell, but at the moment, the uncontrollable craving for cigarettes has inexplicably surged up, so he still picks up the hookah, and smokes with a gnawing sound. Two puffs, and then quickly threw the chimney aside.

"Fuck." Shen Dong frowned and took a sip of water, he probably won't be able to get used to this taste in his life.

The duty room was quite quiet, and the sound of the sea breeze coming in from the window and the sound of waves hitting the rocks made the room even quieter.

Shen Dong took the mouse and clicked on the screen. Today's minesweeping was not going well, and they exploded before halfway through, and they all exploded in places where he could not click wrong.

A little distracted.

It's normal to be distracted, who can still be distracted after these two days, Shen Dong opened a new round of minesweeping.

He gave up after three hours, and he never managed to sweep all of them, let alone break the previous record. The strongest one made it to the last ten mines, but somehow his hand trembled and landed on a mine exactly. superior.

"Hey——" Shen Dong dropped the mouse, stretched himself, stood up and poured himself a glass of water.

It's not even 12 o'clock now, usually the minesweeping can last all night, but today's state is estimated to last until dawn, he stood by the window with a cup and pushed open the window.

The night breeze brushed over his face, and it was quite comfortable without the sticky feeling during the day.

Shen Dong stretched his waist facing the dark sea outside. There was no scenery from this direction, especially at night, the occasional white waves on the black sea had a hypnotic effect like a pendulum after a long time. I was bored and wanted to see something, so I had to go down and look at the reef...

When Shen Dong propped his head on the window sill and looked down at the reef, he never expected to see people on the reef. When he suddenly lowered his head and saw someone sitting on the reef, he was startled, and his elbows that were propped on the window sill almost slipped .

But he quickly realized who the person below was.

He sighed, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Hello!"

"Ah!" Cao Mu yelled in response, and quickly raised his head to look up, "Who!"

Who else?Shen Dong was a little helpless, turned back and took a bright flashlight from the table, turned it on and shook it down, when the light beam passed Cao Mu's face, he saw Cao Mu covering his eyes.

"Blind!" Cao Mu shouted.

Shen Dong smiled, turned off the flashlight, went back to the room and sat down.

Although he felt that this matter was quite nonsense, he was not afraid of Cao Mu. This person was not dangerous at first glance, and he was very innocent. Apart from the shock this incident brought to him, there were still some aftershocks in his mind from time to time. After two bangs, he was only curious about Cao Mu's living conditions.

He had never seen Cao Mu before, nor had he seen a clownfish basking in the sun on the reef. According to Cao Mu, because of his grandfather, he didn't need to find others for company.But Shen Dong has been on the island for a long time. For seven years, he has basically never left, but he has never seen any strange people or fish, and he has never heard Uncle Chen talk about how the grandpa and grandson lived. ?Seeing what Cao Mu meant, they didn't live too far from here, and they never met each other once.

The iron door downstairs rang, Shen Dong turned his head, and heard the sound of someone's footsteps going up the stairs, and he knew it was Cao Mu as soon as he heard the sound of running up the stairs with bare feet.

"I thought you were sleeping." Before Cao Mu came up, Shen Dong had already heard his voice.

"On duty... No, I can't sleep." Shen Dong leaned back on the chair without moving, watching him run into the room from the stairs.

Cao Mu came with clothes on, and Shen Dong was very moved. Although he didn't mind seeing naked men, he still had a bag in his hand, which made Shen Dong a little curious.

"Do you want to eat?" Cao Mu raised the bag in his hand, "I brought it for you. I thought you were sleeping, so I didn't come in."

"What, what?" Shen Dong was stunned, what to eat?

The bag in Cao Mu's hand looks like a packing bag for clothes or something, and it is an old bag. It seems that it has been used repeatedly for at least two months to achieve the old effect. Is it filled with food?

"Something to eat," Cao Mu smiled, put the bag on the table next to Shen Dong and opened it, "I haven't eaten yet, if you are hungry, let's eat together."

Shen Dong glanced into the bag, and was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

The bag was indeed for food, all kinds of steamed stuffed buns, and half a roast chicken.

but!

Even people like Shen Dong who haven't been ashore in the past few years know what it is. These are the food for worshiping ancestors in the village ancestral hall!

"From, from, where... did you get it?" Shen Dong suppressed his surprise and asked Cao Mu, pointing to the food that looked like it had been stored for at least a week.

"I bought it in the village." Cao Mu didn't pay attention to his expression, and happily took out a pancake with a red stamp and handed it to Shen Dong. "Sometimes there is, sometimes not. It depends on luck. Do you eat chicken?"

"Cao Mu..." Shen Dong took the pancake and turned it upside down in front of his eyes, looking at it for a long time. He was sure that it was not edible. Even if it wasn't broken, it could only mean that the people in the village kept the pancake for a longer time. There is an indefinite amount of anti-corrosion things left, and Cao Mu looks happy. Does he use these as tooth-beating sacrifices?

"Huh?" Cao Mu took out something that looked like a bun and was about to put it in his mouth, but Shen Dong held it down. He looked at Shen Dong inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

"You usually, usually... eat, eat this?" Shen Dong frowned.

"Not at all. When I was a human, I only ate at times like now. If I don't eat, I will be hungry." Cao Mu smiled.

"You come." Shen Dong stood up, took the bun in his hand, threw it back into the bag together with the piece of cake, put the bag aside, and walked out of the duty room.

"Where are you going? Chatting?" Cao Mu followed behind him with great interest.

Shen Dong didn't say a word, and turned into the small room next to the duty room. This is half a rest room. There is an electric stove in it, and there are pots and pans that are not complete. He and Uncle Chen usually cook here.

Usually it is boiled noodles with fish and meat. Vegetables are Chinese cabbage.

"What are you doing?" Cao Mu followed Shen Dong back and forth curiously.

"You!" Shen Dong grabbed his arm and pushed him to the wall, pointing at him, "Don't move."

"Oh." Cao Mu nodded.

Shen Dong didn't know how to explain the problem of inedible food in that bag, let's not say that it was a taboo for people to worship their ancestors, but that he couldn't just eat the food that had been stored for so long.

Before Shen Dong went to the island, he lived alone. As long as he can remember, he cooks by himself. Although he only cooks noodles most of the time after going to the island, his cooking skills are quite good. Uncle Chen loves him. boiled noodles.

When putting the meat in the pot, Shen Dong picked up a piece of fried hairtail, hesitated for a while, then put it down, and picked up a piece of bacon next to it.

"What's that? It looks more delicious than this." Cao Mu said while standing behind the wall.

"Fish." Shen Dong replied in a muffled voice.

"Fish? What kind of fish?" Cao Mu looked carefully, "Hairtail fish?"

"Yeah." Shen Dong took a bowl and buckled the hairtail that had been cut into small pieces. He always felt that he was not comfortable showing the body of another fish in front of one fish, and he was still chopped into pieces.

"Is it delicious?" Cao Mu asked.

Shen Dong couldn't help but look back at him, cooperating with his feeling that he still wanted to take care of the fish, but the master didn't seem to feel it at all.

"Eat... which one?" He asked Cao Mu.

"Whatever, I haven't eaten it before, so I don't know what it tastes like," Cao Mu replied with a smile, "Fish is also fine. Grandpa said that the law of the jungle is the law of nature."

He also knew such profound words as the law of the jungle and the laws of nature, Shen Dong smiled and didn't say anything else.

When the big boat came over, he brought some fresh green peppers, which had to be eaten first, and were easy to spoil. Finally, Shen Dong cooked a pot of bacon and green pepper noodles, filled a bowl and placed it in front of Cao Mu.

"Delicious!" Cao Mu yelled after eating one chopstick, and yelled again after eating another chopstick, "It's so spicy! It's so spicy!"

hot?Shen Dong took a bite of the noodles, but he didn't taste the spiciness. It is estimated that Cao Mu has never eaten spicy food, so he would have known how to enlarge the cabbage.

"or……"

"Delicious!" Cao Mu yelled again before he finished speaking, followed by another yell.

Shen Dong decided not to care about him anymore, just lowered his head and just ate his own noodles, and finished eating the noodles in Cao Mu's endless cycle of delicious and spicy noodles.

"Why, how...how?" Shen Dong looked at Cao Mu whose forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"It's much more delicious than those. I've never eaten something like this. It's hot." Cao Mu wiped it on his face with his hands with a smile.

These words made Shen Dong sigh with emotion, there are still people who haven't eaten hot food?

He sighed: "Yes, I will be hungry in the future, I will be hungry... Find, find me."

"Really?" Cao Mu looked at him in surprise.

"Ah."

"I knew you were a good person," Cao Mu patted his leg, "You can go to my place to play when you have time, where I live."
