Last night, there was a sudden storm on the sea. The huge raindrops and howling wind turned the calm sea into a boiling pot.

He and several brothers who had no time to dive deeper into the sea for refuge were swept out of the sea by the current, sinking and floating dizzily—how could a small fish be the opponent of the storm? Before he lost consciousness, he seemed I saw the upturned white belly of the third brother who always liked to play hide-and-seek with him under the turtle's belly.

Fish don't cry.

But when he woke up again, he found that he was rushed to an unknown place, and when all his brothers disappeared, there was still a strange feeling of heat in his eye sockets.

This is not the sea area he is familiar with.His home is in Repulse Bay, which is closer to the south bank. There are many lovely colorful corals in the sea water, fine white sand, and the sea water is warm.

Unlike now, soaking in the cold sea water, there are only cold reefs around.

He moved his body cautiously, and found that his fins and tail could still swing freely without much damage.

That meant he might survive, and maybe find his way home.

But the most urgent task now is to see where this place is.

The small fish slowly surfaced, the sea was no longer thrilled by last night, it was as calm as a big mirror.

A mirror so large that it made him despair.

Because he found that he did not know the way.

While spitting bubbles and pondering for an afternoon, he decided to stay where he was for the time being, maybe he would happen to wait for a brother who was rushed here.

You must know that as one of the smallest creatures in the East China Sea, any big jellyfish can kill him, so he can't act rashly.

So he waited and waited until he gnawed almost all the moss under the reef, and he did not wait for his brother.

And don't talk about brothers, except for two seabirds flying high, there is not even a big fish in the vicinity. It seems that this cold reef has been forgotten by the sea in a corner, and no one can imagine it. Get up to have a look at it.

He didn't dare to dive too deep, because it was really dark down there.

He didn't dare to be out of the sea for too long, because he was afraid of attracting birds foraging.

He is a timid little fish.

But there is no way to go on like this, the moss will be eaten up soon.

But leaving this reef, where should we go?Which direction can I go home?

In fact, Xiaoyu also understands very well that the East China Sea is so big that he may never return to that warm sea.The biggest possibility is that even if you swim until you are exhausted, you will not be able to find food.

He thought of the third brother's white belly that was washed away by the waves in the blink of an eye, and felt a little desperate.

forget it.

He was just the most ordinary little fish, without any resistance, let alone a way to get himself out of this predicament.

Anyway, no matter how miserable it is, it is nothing more than being pecked by seabirds, or starving to death.

Thinking of this, the little fish slowly surfaced.

Then wait.

……

puff.

The sound of something falling into the water woke him up from his sad mood.

It was as if something had just been thrown into the sea.

He turned over and looked up, there was a figure standing on the reef against the light, looking at the small fish beside the reef.

"It really is alive." The person standing on the reef squatted down. "It's actually a little fish that likes to play dead. It's really strange."

He is not playing dead!He is waiting to die!

After realizing that the disturbed Xiaoyu spit out a bubble angrily, he realized that the other party might not understand his rebuttal at all.

Sure enough, the other party was amused by his actions: "Oh, I can also spit bubbles for fun."

... Xiaoyu decided to ignore him, continued to turn his belly over, and did not move.

"Birds will spot you if you look like this," the man said. "The white belly is very conspicuous."

Nonsense, he was just waiting for seabirds to eat him, and he couldn't survive anyway.

Seeing that Xiaoyu ignored him, the man became even more excited and made another 'plop'.

Huh?

Xiaoyu turned over suspiciously, looking at the thing floating next to his body.

A small crystal with a beautiful red end, looks crystal clear, and emits a slightly sweet fragrance.

"Do fish eat pomegranates?" The man seemed to be talking to himself. "But I only have pomegranates here."

After finishing speaking, there was another plop, and another small crystal was thrown beside him.

He has never heard of the word 'pomegranate', but he understands the word 'eat'.

Xiao Yu glanced at the person who was still squatting on the reef, and the person had no intention of leaving at all.

But he was very hungry.

Not caring so much, he flicked his tail, moved the sea water and pushed the small crystal to his mouth——

Ahhh.

It was delicious!

The little fish's eyes lit up.

This is much better than moss!

Now he didn't hesitate anymore, and swallowed another thing called 'Pomegranate' into his stomach in one gulp.

The man seemed happier than him: "So fish also eat pomegranates. I still have them here."

Puff, puff.

More 'pomegranates' were thrown to the little fish.

He was overjoyed.

I thought I was doomed, but suddenly a strange person came to save me from desperation.

Just when the little fish was about to happily eat all the pomegranates he dropped, he suddenly thought of a problem.

Strange people don't appear every day, and after this person leaves, I will still be hungry.

So instead of eating, he pushed all the 'pomegranates' into a small hole under the reef.

That's where he spends the night.

Although he wasn't full yet, in order not to starve to death after the weirdo left, he had better save some food.

The people on the reef watched him bring the pomegranate grains floating on the sea back and forth to the water one by one, and after a while of silence, they suddenly realized.

"If you like pomegranates, I can bring them again." He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the dorsal fin of the little fish that was struggling to pick pomegranates.

The little fish was startled, and slid back into the water, looking at each other warily through the sea water.

Seeing that Xiaoyu was unwilling to float out, the other party smiled slightly.

"Am I that scary?"

The little fish stared at him and spit out a bubble.

The other party continued: "My name is Bai Ze. These pomegranates will not taste good after being soaked in water for a long time. I will bring you fresh ones next time. But I must leave now. Ao Guang is always very punctual. If today If I'm late, he will definitely show me face."

As soon as he finished speaking, layers of clouds suddenly appeared around the other party's body, covering the dazzling sun at noon. Xiao Yu saw a face from the clouds, which looked even more beautiful than the legend in the East China Sea. The Pearl of Baili is even more breathtaking.

The little fish stared blankly at him, the pomegranate grains under the fins were washed away.

Those clouds formed a big auspicious cloud under his feet in the blink of an eye, and the little fish quickly surfaced, but only had time to see the cloud disappear into the sky.

He said his name was Bai Ze.

The little fish wagged its tail and swam back to the reef hole in a daze.

He had never heard of this name, and he didn't know who the "Ao Guang" he was talking about was.

But he said he would come again.

Xiaoyu looked at the pomegranate seeds stuffed into the hole, and for some reason became happy in his heart.

The next time I see this beautiful and beautiful person, there will be better food, this is what he promised.

The little fish's belly was warmed by the sun, and he didn't feel that the sea water under the reef was cold anymore.

Maybe... all this is actually not so hopeless.

Thinking of this, Xiaoyu leaned against the small pile of pomegranates and fell asleep.
