Fish are not fish

I'm a fish

I'm a fish. I am a yellow carp in the lotus lake. Ever since my twin sister, the red carp, escaped Baiyangdian and walked on the shore that summer, I have become the tip of the carp family. I enjoy all kinds of care and pampering from my peers. I swam freely in a brocade cloth. I sang with a lot of charm. I danced passionately among the green lotus leaves. At that time, I was not a fish, I was a proud princess in the carp kingdom.

However, the proud princess soon ran into trouble. I was chased by a flower. Hua Tou is the head of the silver carp family, and the love story of his younger brother silver carp and my sister red carp has been widely sung in the 360 lakes of Baiyangdian. But the flower head is different. It is stout and powerful, bullying, and small fish and shrimp often become its mouth. In its nest, there are often tired fish licking their wounds and leaving in disgrace, and some of them are bleeding and throwing seeds. It's a flower head, and it's a devil.

The flower head stopped me on my way back from an outing. Its one-meter-long body stretched across the entrance of the lotus lake, its eyes moist and sticky over me, and its gill kept moving. Huatou said, Huang Carp, Huang Carp, go back with me! I flattened my mouth and ignored it. It grabbed me by the tail and dragged me to its nest. Then he wrapped my dorsal, belly, thorax and tail fins around me. I couldn't break free. I muttered with tears in my eyes, you flower head, do you know why the female fish don't like you? Because you won't treat us the same way silver carp treat us.

I will, I will, I change, I change! The flower suddenly let go of its fins, and then pushed me out of the nest and let a school of silver carp take me home.

After that, I witnessed the change of the flower heads. It no longer swallows small fish and shrimp. It destroyed its nest and released all the imprisoned females. During that period of time, the water was peaceful, all kinds of creatures lived in harmony, and the lotus lake was always filled with joyful waves and emotional songs.

And then came the Great Migration. Due to successive droughts, the water level of Baiyangdian Lake has dropped sharply. The fish of the lotus lake have to migrate to the deep water lake. I swam with the fish, past the nest of the flower heads. I saw that the silver carp were gone, and only the flower heads stood there, staring vacantly at the murky waters in the distance.

I said, let's go, if you don't go, you'll suffer! Hua Tou didn't turn his head, but said desolately, Huang Carp, it's you, I've been here for most of my life, I don't want to leave, and I can't walk anymore!

That's when I discovered that I was blind in my eyes. I asked him what was going on, and he said that he had eaten a bunch of food discarded by tourists the other day, and his eyes suddenly became like this.

I sighed for the flowers. I decided to stay and stay and take care of the flower heads. I changed the flower head, and I have no reason to abandon the flower head.

The water level continues to fall. The waters available to me and the flower head are shrinking. When there was only one house-sized surface of water left in the lotus lake, the flower head and I were caught by a fisherman.

I'm an aquarium fish

I became an ornamental fish with the flower head. The lotus lake dried up, and people built the soil for the island and built the Mandarin Duck Island tourist area. The owner of Mandarin Duck Island bought me and Huatou and put them in the fishing port, and they became ornamental fish together with all kinds of fish of all sizes that were put in one after another.

In the eyes of other fish, it is a joy to be an ornamental fish. But I don't, and neither do the flowers. So people saw a yellow carp with golden scales wandering lonely behind the noise, and saw a huge silver carp king lying lonely and tough on the surface of the water. Fish food was dropped. Another fish food was dropped. I didn't move. The flower head didn't move. I heard a child's shrill voice shouting:

Look, Daddy, why doesn't that yellow carp eat the food I gave it?

It's a stupid fish. A man replied.

And this big fish, which doesn't eat and doesn't move.

It's a dead fish. The man replied again.

Silly fish? Dead fish? I jumped out of the water angrily, stared at the man, and then frantically swam to the flower, put my head on it, and shouted in a hoarse voice, Huatou, are you dead? Are you dead? The flower head is still motionless. It just sucked the water slowly, for a long time, and suddenly tilted its head and squirted water on the man's body in a hurry. The tourists shouted and stepped back, and the flower head also spat out a few words faintly, I am not dead, but soon.

The flower head has a hunch. A few days later, a foreign tour group arrived on Mandarin Duck Island. They fell in love with the flower head and spent a lot of money to steam the largest fish king in Baiyangdian. People began to hunt for the flower heads. Flowerhead resists the pursuit. It flew up and down, swayed from side to side, tore the cover, smashed through the net, and finally was forced into the narrowest corner of the port, and with a jump, its huge body slammed into the concrete pool wall. The blood immediately turned red in the fishing port, and all the ornamental fish were soaked in blood......

I'm a fish

The flower head is dead. It was not eaten. The owner of Mandarin Duck Island refunded a large amount of money to foreign tourists. The island's employees salvaged the flower heads, scrubbed them clean, and placed them on a sailboat filled with water. I was also put in with me, and all the aquarium fish.

The sailboat carried us into a vast expanse of water. Here, there are reeds in the distance, lotus in the near distance, and water in the water. In the sky, there is also a flock of gulls chirping and flying.

I was caught in the hold with the ornamental fish and released into the Oyodo. As soon as I dipped in the long-lost lakewater, I found the yellow carp of the past again.

The fish scattered in all directions. I found the flower head that was also put into the lake. I snuggled up to its sinking body little by little, and gently told it in a watery voice, Huatou, wake up, we are free......
