clown clown fish

"Captain?" Cao Mu answered, reached out and pulled Shen Dong up from the water, then stared at the man for a while, "I don't remember."

"Aren't you!" The captain shouted angrily, "I really admire you, it's like this every time! It's not easy for a lack of heart to be like you, and you still say that eating seafood nourishes your brain, how can you treat you a little bit?" It's useless!"

Cao Mu gave him a sideways glance, and replied a little unhappily: "It doesn't seem to be of any use to you."

"Hey Cao Xiaoyu, you have learned to swear!" The captain was angry, "I am the captain, think about it."

"Who is the captain?" Cao Mu continued to ask casually.

"me!"

Shen Dong was still naked, and quickly squatted down on the side after coming up, you must know that there is still a fucking person here, even if he was killed, he would not swim over naked.

However, this person's attention was obviously not on him, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Cao Mu not remembering himself, and kept staring at Cao Mu asking for a memory.He took the time to look at the one-eyed captain. He looked quite young, only in his early twenties. The possibility of being the captain at this age is basically zero. Coupled with this attire, it was exactly the same as the first impression Cao Mu gave him. Same, brain problem.

"Look again," the captain suddenly raised his hand and tore off the blindfold on his left eye, quickly switched it to the other side, and put it on the right eye, "the last time I came to look for you was Such."

Shen Dong was stunned, this man is not blind!Not one-eyed!

"Really?" Cao Mu stared at him seriously, looking desperately remembering.

"Yes!" The captain nodded and blinked his left eye a few times.

Cao Mu stared at him for a while, and finally shouted: "Captain Jack!"

"That's right! You finally remembered!" The captain also shouted happily, jumped over and slapped Cao Mu on the shoulder.

Shen Dong almost jumped back into the water directly, what is this all about!

"Is this your new friend?" The captain pointed to Shen Dong who was squatting aside and hadn't said a word.

"Well," Cao Mu nodded, came over and pulled Shen Dong's arm, trying to make him stand up, "Shen Dong, this is my good friend, the captain."

Fortunately for my friend, recalling a memory can kill a person, Shen Dong squatted without moving, and nodded at the captain.

The captain was wearing clothes. Although it seemed wet, he was still wearing clothes. He was probably a normal human being. It was fine for Shen Dong to be naked in front of a fish, but he really couldn't do it naked in front of a person.

"Are you the same as him?" Seeing that he didn't move, the captain squatted down and stood face to face with Shen Dong.

"Huh?" Shen Dong was taken aback.

"It's just..." The captain pointed to Cao Mu, then pointed to his own head, "Cao Xiaoyu is a little...you too?"

Shen Dong choked and didn't speak.

It seems that although the captain called Cao Mu Cao Xiaoyu, he didn't seem to know that Cao Xiaoyu was really a fish. He just felt that Cao Xiaoyu's brain was not very bright.

It's just that when someone asked you face to face if you had brain problems, Shen Dong didn't know how to answer, so he could only turn his head and ask Cao Mu: "Do you have... clothes, clothes?"

"Yes." Cao Mu squatted down, and Shen Dong saw an iron box in the corner of the rock next to it. It was as dilapidated as an antique, and it was filled with sealed bags one by one for unknown things.

Cao Mu took out the suit Shen Dong gave him from one of the bags.

Shen Dong took the clothes and quickly put them on himself. While putting them on, he was amazed that Cao Mu could still have such a high-tech thing as a sealed bag.

"This place will be flooded when the tide is high, so everything has to be sealed in bags," the captain explained next to him, and added proudly, "I found these bags for him."

"Oh." Shen Dong was relieved after putting on his clothes, and only then was he in the mood to look at Cao Mu's home.

A rock hole that is less than ten square meters including those unstoppable corners, the highest point is estimated to be only 1.8 meters. Shen Dong can stand up to the top of the rock with his head, and he can't lift his head. Cao Mu has always been The captain can stand upright if he stays with his head bowed, but he has to bend when he takes two steps to the side.

There is water in the middle of the cave, and there are some raised rocks around which you can rest your feet. There are large or small rock cracks on all sides. If there is a typhoon and heavy rain, staying here is not much different from staying in the open air. This is Cao Mu. s home?

"My name is Hong Jie, you can call me the captain, of course you can also call me Jack," the captain formally extended his hand to Shen Dong, and introduced himself, "Your name is Shen Dong?"

"Yes." Shen Dong looked at Hong Jie who was holding out his left hand to him although he looked very formal, he hesitated for a while, and had no choice but to extend his left hand to shake him.

"Cao Xiaoyu," Hong Jie seemed to know Cao Mu very well, he patted Cao Mu's shoulder and pointed at Shen Dong, "Where did this guy come from?"

"He lives in a lamp," Cao Mu smiled, "You haven't been there, have you?"

"I've never been there, it's called the lighthouse," Hong Jie corrected Cao Mu, then looked at Shen Dong, "I knew that Uncle Chen was there, and you are there too? Are you also guarding the lighthouse?"

"En." Shen Dong leaned against the rock and found a slightly flat place to sit down.

"No way, I don't know, and I haven't seen you go ashore before," Hong Jie was surprised, "How long have you been on the island?"

"Seven years."

Hong Jie didn't make a sound, and stared at Shen Dong for a long time before slowly saying: "You haven't been ashore for seven years?"

"Ah."

"You're sure!" Hong Jie patted his leg, "You must have something wrong, and I don't even know it yet."

"Oh." Shen Dong took a breath quietly, and let it out slowly, with his fingers resting on his forehead, Cao Mu's good friend was as painful as Cao Mu's.

"This man doesn't like to talk," Hong Jie was a little disappointed by Shen Dong's monosyllabic answer, then turned around and moved closer to Cao Mu, reaching out his hand to dig in his wet pocket, "Cao Xiaoyu You've got your stuff."

"What?" Cao Mu looked at his pocket with interest.

"Crayon, look," Hong Jie took out a small iron tube and handed it to Cao Mu, "This is in an iron tube, waterproof, you can play with it, do you still have the drawing book I gave you last time?" ?”

"Yes." Cao Mu squatted next to the iron box and took out a sealed bag with a sketchbook inside.

Shen Dong sat on the side and watched the two of them tossing on the notebook with crayons. Hong Jie looked like a normal person, not what he imagined before, but Cao Mu lived in a cave on an island for a long time. A healthy person who wears clothes and lives in such a half-water hole and has no arthritis does not arouse Hong Jie's suspicion. Shen Dong can only judge that his brain is not spinning too fast.

The crayon made Cao Mu very happy, but after scribbling on the notebook for a while, he suddenly put down the pen and looked at Hong Jie: "I'm tired, let's go."

"Ah?" Hong Jie was stunned, "It's like this every time, you're really disappointing."

"Tired." Cao Mu smiled.

"Okay, then I'm leaving. I'll bring you some good things." Hong Jie stood up, put on his clothes and jumped into the water without any hesitation, and quickly popped his head out to point at Shen Dong. , "Then he won't leave?"

"If he doesn't leave, you can just leave." Cao Mu replied simply.

This answer made Shen Dong feel embarrassed for Hong Jie, but Hong Jie didn't seem to feel anything. He just clicked his tongue and looked at Shen Dong: "I'm leaving, you can play with him... don't be like him, next time I will Besides, he definitely doesn’t remember who I am, do you still remember my name?”

"Captain." Shen Dong smiled.

"Okay, let's go," Hong Jie was very satisfied, and smiled at Shen Dong, "I live in the village on the shore. If you go ashore, you can find me by asking someone, but I don't often stay in the village. I like to stay. At sea, on a boat, the sea is my home!"

Hong Jie said the second half of the sentence with great momentum, and even waved his hand, shaking Shen Dong's face with water.

"Okay," Shen Dong nodded, and after watching Hong Jie disappear into the water, he asked Cao Mu, "He just... just this, this... so, you?"

"No, he has a boat, parked at..." Cao Mu pointed in a circle, and finally pointed in a random direction, "Stop over there, and he will get on the boat when he swims out."

"Oh."

"I knew him last year, but he didn't know that I was a fish, he thought I was a fool," Cao Mu sniffed with a smile, "He is very nice, he gave me these things, come and see .”

Shen Dong squatted next to Cao Mu, looking at the mess of his box.

Notebooks, pens, alarm clocks, binoculars, bullet casings, elementary school language books, whistles... There are quite a lot of things, but for some reason, when seeing these basically worthless things, Shen Dong has a feeling that he can't explain.

"What, what... what?" Shen Dong's attention was attracted by a bag on the bottom of the box.

There was only a worn-out homework book and a piece of paper that seemed to be torn from the book in the bag.

"This is..." Cao Mu seemed a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he opened the bag and took out the contents, "This is something my sister and I used to write and play with."

"Sister, sister?" Shen Dong felt that his knowledge of the young master clownfish had been refreshed again. Cao Mu not only had a grandfather, but also a sister?

A real mermaid?

"Yeah." Cao Mu held the notebook and didn't speak any more, his eyes seemed to pass through the notebook and land on some unknown place.

Shen Dong looked at the expression on his face, as if he had never seen that kind of exhaustion before, and now it was the first time he saw Cao Mu's somewhat sad expression.

He reached out and took out the notebook from Cao Mu's hand, and looked at the cover.

It says Cao Mu, Class [-], Grade [-], Guanhua Town Central Primary School.

Shen Dong was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the name: "You, have you been to...school?"

"Ah?" Cao Mu came back to his senses and glanced at the notebook, rubbing his nose in embarrassment, "No, this is someone else's notebook. My sister picked it up when she went out to play. I didn't have a name at that time, so I just used that name."

"... Oh." Shen Dong didn't know what to say, the name could still be named like this.

"My sister's name is Xiaojia, Yu Xiaojia, the name my grandfather gave her." Cao Mu smiled, his eyes were a little dark, "I haven't seen her for many years, she went to the city with someone."

"What?" Shen Dong was surprised, he stared at Cao Mu, "Your sister, sister, sister... is also a fish?"

"Yeah, isn't my sister a fish or a coral?" Cao Mu smiled.

Shen Dong sat on the ground, holding a notebook in his hand in a daze. Cao Mu not only has a grandfather, but also a sister, who is also a fish. Although this information is surprising, it is acceptable to Shen Dong.

To his surprise, this little female fish, no, this mermaid, actually went to the city, or did she go with someone?

"Apart from grandpa and sister, do you have other relatives?" Shen Dong looked at Cao Mu.

"I..." Cao Mu also looked at Shen Dong with great interest, and stretched out his hand to poke Shen Dong's chin, "Why don't you stutter again?"

"Ah?" Shen Dong patted his hand away, he was stunned for a moment before realizing it, as if he didn't stutter?

"Why do you stutter for a while and not stutter for a while?" Cao Mu's attention shifted quickly, "Do you think you can stop stuttering without stuttering? When do you stop stuttering?"

Shen Dong filed his teeth, and the stammering and stammering in his mind caused his anger to rush to his forehead. He habitually raised his hand and wanted to slap Cao Mu.

The bloody wound on the clownfish's body and Cao Mu's painful expression passed before his eyes.

In the end, he just pointed to Cao Mu's nose: "You, you give, give, shut up...mouth!"

"Okay, what did you just say?" Cao Mu leaned against the rock wall and looked at him.

"Forgot." Shen Dong suddenly didn't want to speak anymore.

"Hahaha," Cao Mu laughed loudly and said after a long while, "You also forgot, I remember, just now you asked me if I have any other relatives besides my grandfather and sister, right? "

"Ah."

"No, only grandpa and sister," Cao Mu clapped his hands, looked at the bag in his hand, and lowered his voice, "Now it's really gone, only me."

"I... have a look." Shen Dong pointed to the torn piece of paper in the bag, and he saw words on it.

"Well," Cao Mu carefully took out the torn paper and handed it to him, "Be careful not to get it wet, I can't remember it, and I won't know if it gets confused."

There was a line of words written on the piece of paper, written with a pencil, the handwriting was somewhat blurred, Shen Dong frowned after seeing the content of the words clearly.

This is an address, a northern city thousands of miles away from here, not too far from his former home, but the address is very vague, not even the name of the street.

"This, this is..."

"This is the address my sister left me, where she went," Cao Mu took the piece of paper back and put it back in the bag, "She has been there for many years, and she just said she was going to see it and then she came back, but I haven't come back, I want to go find her, but grandpa won't let me."

"Your sister, with, with what, who went there?" No matter how he thought about it, Shen Dong felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable. Who took Yu Xiaojia away and knew her true identity?

"A man, my sister said he is a good man." Cao Mu also put the notebook back into the bag, pinching the mouth of the sealed bag repeatedly with his fingers.

"Good guy?" Shen Dong didn't know how to judge this word. In his mind, people can't be divided into good guys and bad guys, even men and women are not absolute, let alone good guys and bad guys.

"Well, you are a good person." Cao Mu nodded.

"You... are too, too..."

"My wife?"

"Listen, listen to me, finish!" Shen Dong couldn't hold back, and slapped Cao Mu on the shoulder.

"Ah!" Cao Mu yelled, rubbing his shoulders, "Then you finished speaking, you not only stuttered but also panted heavily, who knows if you finished speaking!"

"Stop talking." Shen Dong leaned against the stone wall, he didn't want to say any more words.

"Say it, I was wrong," Cao Mu slowly squatted beside him while rubbing his shoulders, "I won't steal your words from now on, I'll just stop for five seconds after you finish speaking, no, stop for ten seconds, okay?" good?"

"Hey..." Shen Dong closed his eyes, pinched his fingers up and down between his brows, he would have been ignorant of changing someone, but Cao Mu's flattering tone made him really lose his temper, he sucked He took a deep breath, and slowly said word by word, "I, say, you, too, light, believe."

"Gullible?" Cao Mu frowned and didn't speak for a while, as if he was thinking about the meaning of credulity.

When Shen Dong was considering whether to explain to him what credulity meant, he opened his mouth again: "You mean you are not a good person? Are you very bad?"

This time Shen Dong really didn't know what to say, he stopped looking at Cao Mu and turned to look at the sea water in the middle of the cave.

When the tide is high, half of the cave will be submerged. Will Cao Mu become a fish when it is submerged?

"Shen Dong," Cao Mu stared at the water with him for a while, then touched him with his arm, "Shen Dong, are you asleep?"

You treat me like a fish too, sleep with your eyes open!

"No." Shen Dong continued to stare at the water.

"Can you do me a favor?" Cao Mu's tone was tentative and cautious.

"Huh?" Shen Dong glanced at him.

"You just saw my sister's address," Cao Mu smiled when he saw him looking at him, "Do you remember?"

Shen Dong understood what he meant, and nodded: "I'll help, help you remember... remember."

"Thank you," Cao Mu was very happy, and laughed for a long time on the surface of the water as if he had accomplished some great event, "Do you know where that place is?"

"know."

"Then have you been there?" Cao Mu immediately became interested, turned around and squatted in front of Shen Dong.

Shen Dong looked at Cao Mu's face that was almost touching the tip of his nose, saw a certain light in his eyes, and instantly understood what Cao Mu was thinking.

"No," Shen Dong said bluntly, and pushed Cao Mu, "You...don't, don't be so close, yes, you're right in the eye."

"why no?"

"I won't help you find your sister, nor will I accompany you to find her."

Cao Mu stared at him, the light in his eyes dimmed little by little, and finally lowered his head and lowered his eyelids and whispered: "Oh, I see."

Shen Dong thinks that he never wants to leave this island again in his life. Although he sometimes feels lonely and bored to the point of counting his hairs, when he thinks of the chaotic crowd, all kinds of voices, the sight of tall buildings and Neon lights, he felt his scalp go numb and didn't want to go back.

He didn't know what he was afraid of. In short, he just didn't want to go back, and he never wanted to go back.

Besides, there is something he doesn't want to say out loud. He doesn't know why Yu Xiaojia left with someone and never came back, and he doesn't know who took her away. A fish that can turn into a human just enters the human world, and there won't be any wonderful ending.

"Cao Mu." Shen Dong could see that Cao Mu was very disappointed, and he tried to pretend to be calm. He felt a little regretful about his untactful answer before. He hadn't communicated with others for too long, and he almost couldn't remember what to do.

"Huh?" Cao Mu quickly raised his head and looked at him.

After calling Cao Mu, Shen Dong immediately regretted it, and Cao Mu looked at him with anticipation again.

He couldn't remember the last time he felt expected, or, never?

The look in Cao Mu's eyes made him feel inexplicably soft, and then he uttered something that made him want to plunge into the sea and suffocate to death, he said, "It will take a while."
