After thinking back to the joy of childhood, I looked at the raindrops that fell sparsely.

Caizi thought that in this big city, the pleasure of catching fish and catching birds as a child would not be encountered, so he simply thought that since he couldn't catch fish, he would go to the market to buy a few fish and have a good time, right?

He turned around and looked for rain gear such as an umbrella, but he couldn't find it. He went out of the house in the light rain and knocked on the door of Zhou Guangren's shed.

Zhou Guangren came out, and when he saw that he was a talent, he said, "Is there something wrong with the captain?"

Caizi said, "Do you have an umbrella to borrow it from me?"

Zhou Guangren said: "Yes, go into the house and ask your sister-in-law to find it for you." ”

When the talented man entered the house, Zhou Guangren's daughter-in-law Wang Yue'e also came out and groped under the bed.

After a while, Wang Yue'e took out an umbrella covered with dust, and then slapped it and said, "It's useless, it's all full of dust, and my sister-in-law will shake it for you." After that, he went to the wall outside and patted it lightly a few times, and handed it to the genius.

Wang Yue'e asked, "Do you still go out when it rains?"

Caizi said, "It's okay, I want to go to the market." ”

Wang Yue'e said: "What's wrong with you, you want to go to the market on a rainy day?"

Caizi said, "Let's see if there are any small fish sellers." By the way, I'll buy some small fish in a while, sister-in-law, you can make it, and a few of us can drink some wine. ”

Wang Yue'e said, "That's great! You can go, come back and my sister-in-law will do it for you." ”

Caizi came out of Zhou Guangren's shed with an umbrella, and the rainwater on the road flowed down the slope of the road, and some formed a whirlpool on the manhole cover on the road, flowing into the sewer along the gap in the manhole cover. He deliberately walked very slowly, admiring the raindrops and the streams in the city.

When I got to the market, there weren't many people inside. He walked to the fish stall and searched for the same kind of fish in his hometown creek.

He saw a bucket of live loach fish. The fish seller scooped up the loaches with an iron fence, and the loaches slid down the edge of the fence into the bucket, indicating that the fish were alive. Caizi squatted down in front of the fish stall to ask for the price, casually reached into the bucket, scooped up some loaches, and experienced the slippery nature of the loaches.

The fish seller said, "Loach fish costs five yuan and five jiao a catty." ”

Caizi looked at the fish buyer and smiled, and told the fish seller, "Weigh me five catties." ”

The fish seller scooped up the loaches with a fence and put them in a plastic bag, weighing them as five and a half catties, and the genius told him to make it whole, and the fish seller packed a few more, and six catties was not bad at all.

After the talent paid the money, he picked up the loaches. Continuing to walk around in front of the stall, he was looking for small crucian carp, but after turning around, he didn't see anyone buying small crucian carp. There were some large crucian carp at the other fish stalls, so he had to weigh a few large crucian carp, then buy tofu and other side dishes, and go out of the market gate.

At this time, the rain was falling heavily, and Caizi saw that it was still early, so she took shelter from the rain with some people at the eaves by the gate.

He put down the bag and umbrella in his hand, and the loach was beating dishonestly inside the plastic bag. At this moment, a small loach escaped from the mouth of the bag that was not tightly tied.

Caizi saw it but didn't pay attention to it, and let it roll in the muddy water. It squirmed with difficulty towards a rainy place, rested when it was tired, and then continued tenaciously.

It didn't take long for it to move a long distance, and seeing a puddle in front of it, the little loach increased its movement and finally entered the small puddle.

The little loach dived into the muddy water and hid, which made Caizi feel amused. Next to the puddle was a stream of water, and it would have escaped with the current if it tried harder, but the little loach didn't make any effort, and it was just a potentially small puddle that didn't move.

At this moment, a large shoe stepped into the small puddle, and the water in the puddle was splashed, and the poor little loach was stepped on the sole of the shoe.

The shoes were raised, and the little loaches were already turning white. Floating motionless on the muddy water, Caizi hurried over and picked it up with his hand. It was put into the stream of water next to it, but he didn't move, but floated away with the water, and it did die.

The genius felt very sad and regretful, why didn't he stop the shoe? Why didn't he help it swim into the water that was close at hand? When he entered the water, it would return to the river with the current! It would complete its life's mission and multiply until it died of old age.

By this time, the rain had already soaked his clothes, and he went back to the eaves to pick up the plastic bag, hold up the umbrella, and leave the market.
