    ?

    The old cousin's crying not only did not win everyone's sympathy, but it caused a roar of laughter. After the laughter gradually disappeared, the crowd continued to watch.  As if to prove that he was really in pain, the old cousin's tears and snot also flowed down his cheeks and dripped on his clothes.  Again everyone laughed.

    After the crying stopped, the old cousin broke free from the embrace of the eldest lady, and ran towards me while wiping away tears.

    "Old Cousin, let's go out to play, I'll take you to see a good thing" It felt like changing his face. At this time, the old cousin showed no signs of crying at all.

    "Aren't you in pain?" I asked with concern.

    "Oh, let's go, it's not easy to play in the house, it's very boring." The old cousin pulled me out.

    "Mom, my cousin and I will go out for a stroll, and we will be back soon." Before going out, I did not forget to say hello to my mother.  After all, what happened to my cousin just now is still in front of me, and I don't want a lot of people to come out to find me later.

    The old cousin took me to the opposite direction when I just went up the mountain.

    "Old Cousin, this is your first time here, and I'm going to share my secret base with you." At this time, the old cousin became mysterious and tall, bathed in the sun, as if it could reflect the true selflessness in his heart.

    "Secret base? So powerful! What is it?" I became looking forward to it.

    "You will find out in a while! I guarantee you will like it!" After finishing speaking, the old cousin stopped talking and continued to keep his mystery.

    The sun shines through the leaves in the forest, mottled and scattered on the hillside.  It makes the fallen leaves, flowers and plants on the slope no longer gloomy and wilting.  Going down the winding path, passing through a bamboo forest, the old watch stopped and waited for me.

    It seems that I am still a little tender. After all, a child who is used to running on flat ground did not perform satisfactorily in the slopes and valleys. At this time, I was already sweating slightly, and my calves began to tremble slightly. The short distance of a few hundred meters  , has consumed one percent of my energy.

    ?He came to the old cousin and looked around, but he didn't find any existence similar to the paradise, except for the soil, flowers and plants, it was just a small pool.

    Could it be the secret base is this pool?  This pool must be as big as 1 square meter, right?  What secret can there be?  The water is also crystal clear, not too deep.

    "Old cousin, is this the secret base? It doesn't feel like it." I finally expressed my doubts.

    "Yes! That's right here, this small pool of water, look." Following the point of the old watch's finger, the passion that had just been ignited has languished again.  "Nothing special! Is there gold hidden here?" I asked whimsically.

    "What gold, you think too much. Come here, there are fish in it!"

    When I heard that there were fish, my eyes lit up, my feet didn't hurt anymore, and my whole body felt energetic.  Squatting on the edge of the small pool, I searched carefully for 3 minutes, not to mention fish, I didn't see a single fish droppings.

    There is nothing but stones and fallen leaves in this clear water bottom!

    "There are no fish! Where are the fish!" After finishing speaking, I picked up the pebbles at my feet and prepared to throw them into the pool.  The old cousin grabbed my hand, snatched the stone, threw it aside, stretched out his index finger, and put it to his mouth, beckoning me to keep my voice down.

    "Old Cousin, don't talk yet, let me catch one for you." As soon as he finished speaking, the old Cousin had already stepped into the pool with one foot first.  Fortunately, the water was not that deep, just reaching the old cousin's knees.

    After stepping into the pool with both feet, the old watch stood still. After the water waves calmed down, he slowly lowered his hands into the bottom of the water. The movements were very gentle, and he tried not to scare his so-called "fish" with too much movement.

    Seeing my cousin getting serious, I quickly took a deep breath, then held my breath as much as possible to control my breathing.  So as not to affect the old watch.

    I saw the old watch stretching his hands forward, about 30 centimeters out, and hovering at a distance of 10 centimeters from the bottom of the water. Yes, he stopped, like a robot without electricity, and kept this posture motionless.

    After the water waves stabilized slightly, the old watch slowly closed his palms, with a width of about 10 centimeters between them.  He remained motionless again.  Just as I was about to ask if there were any fish, the old watch quickly put his hands together with a "snap".

    Because of too much force and too fast speed, the water splashed up.  The old watch with his hands in his hands retreated and returned to the shore.

    "Old watch! Look! I caught a fish!" The old watch holding the fish in both hands said to me happily: "This fish is really hard to catch! Usually it stays at the bottom, doesn't swim very much, and it's very smart  Yes, if there is any movement, it will run away."

    The clasped palms slowly opened a gap, and I was able to see the true face of the fish.

    The gray-brown body is a bit like a loach, but it is bigger than a loach.There are many, the whole body is about the size of Huang La Ding.  The skin is densely covered with many small blue-green dots.  The two small eyeballs are on the top of the head and together, which is slightly funny.  The most peculiar thing is that it is actually 2 feet taller!  Amphibious?  ?

    "Old Cousin, what kind of fish is this? Why does it have long legs!" I wanted to touch its bulging eyes, but after thinking about it, I forgot.  Maintain a high level of alert.

    "It's called jumping fish! It's unique on our mountain! It can jump, so it's called jumping fish. Its two feet are used for jumping and walking, and it can also run. But you can't leave the water for a long time, or it will dry out."

    "So that's it! Does this fish bite? It looks a bit scary"

    "It doesn't bite people. This fish is very fragile and has very high requirements on the environment. The water is slightly unclean, so it can't survive." The old cousin handed the fish to me, indicating that I could touch it.

    I quickly tapped its gray-brown skin lightly with my fingertips, and quickly withdrew my hand.  When you first touch it, it feels cold to the touch, and there is a little silkiness in the soft feeling.  Well, it does look like loach.

    "This fish is very rare and hard to find. The fish meat is very delicious, whether it is boiled in soup or braised in brown sauce, it is very delicious." The old watch continued to explain the advantages of jumping fish.

    "It's better not to eat it, I always feel a little scary, it still has legs, why did it bite?" I can't treat a fish with legs like an ordinary fish.

    "You really don't want to try it? It's really tender. And this kind of fish is really only available here." The old watch continued to persuade with dry words.

    "Let's not eat it. Besides, what is one fish enough for?" I tried my best to make a living for Tiaotiaoyu.

    The old watch turned around and looked at the pool, because when he just caught the jumping fish, he used too much force, which brought up the sediment at the bottom of the water, and now the whole pool is turbid.

    "Hey, what a pity! I saw 4 of them just now, but unfortunately the water is muddy now, so there's nothing I can do about it." The old watch said resolutely, "Why don't we catch it when the water is clear?"

    "Forget it, go back early, or the aunt and the others will worry again later" I finally resorted to my trump card and moved out of the aunt.

    "Okay, it's a pity, then next time you have a chance, you must try the jumping fish." After finishing speaking, the old watch threw the fish in his hand into the pool.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
