Volume 2 The Lost Forest Chapter 46 The Shrimp Ghost
Habitually playing and flying, Zhou Nian obviously forgot the previous agreement with Zhao Yi and others, and went alone to explore the secret, but he really rowed without oars - it all depends on the waves!
The breeze is light, the coolness hits the face, the winding path is secluded, ethereal and clear.
The fork in the road is very narrow, the potholes are a little difficult to walk, the twists and turns, the vines climb the cloth, the strange rocks are listed, the sides are covered with all kinds of weeds, surrounded by a lush greenery, and above the head are those ancient and stout towering trees, the leaves on which are thick and large, and the black pressure covers the overhead, making the light here very dim.
Grandpa Oil walked very slowly, Xu was in order to take the cute treasure next to him, this little guy's big black eyes kept sweeping around, as if enjoying the beautiful scenery, looking full of comfort.
"Moo..."
Every time she sees a beautiful scene, Little Mengbao will raise her fat little finger to it, and let out a low roar in her mouth to express her excitement.
Through the contact just now, Zhou Nian roughly summarized the emotional expression of Xiao Mengbao - if it is only called one word, it means that it is in a bad mood or gives a negative to something, and if it is called two words, it means that it is in a happy mood or affirms something.
The emotions are simple and easy to understand.
At the end of the road, there was a slowly flowing stream, the water was clear and cool, and it was full of colorful pebbles, which looked particularly gorgeous under the refraction of light and shadow.
There is an old single-plank bridge over the stream, which has fallen into disrepair, and it has fallen with thick moss, and in some places the wood has been soaked and rotted by the rain, and it has penetrated into it and cracked and blackened, and it creaks and creaks on it, which is slightly dangerous.
The stream is divided into two boundaries, and the scenery is different.
After crossing the single-plank bridge, the scenery on this side of the stream is completely opposite to the previous view, which is simply two extremes.
The thorns are spread, the barbs are reborn, and the most that catches the eye are some strange vegetation covered with spikes, the whole body is red, the blood-like color is transparent with cold light, sharp as iron, and some have barbs on it, as if the hedgehogs of different sizes are thrown on the ground at will, full of devastation, and it is difficult to walk.
Grandpa Oil and Xiao Mengbao walked cautiously, it was already slow, and the obstacles with thorns were even slower, leaning and hiding from the ground and moving forward quickly, Zhou Nian, who was anxious, was full of helplessness, and he really wanted to step forward to pick them up and fly quickly over this thorny land.
Finally passed through the thorns, the road in front suddenly became much wider, the vision suddenly opened, the number of trees increased, and a small clear pool gradually appeared in front of Zhou Nian's eyes.
"Moo. ”
A word of whispering, this is a sign of a bad mood, Xiao Mengbao seems to be a little tired when she walks, she tugged Grandpa Oil with her hand, and stopped slowly.
"What's wrong, are you tired?" Grandpa Oil also stopped and asked with his head down.
"Moo!" the two words whispered, and Xiao Mengbao nodded.
"It's almost there, or grandpa will carry you. Grandpa Oil squatted down, patted his back and said, "Come up." ”
"Moo!"
Xiao Mengbao slowly climbed onto Grandpa Oil's back, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, put his round head on his back, and closed his eyes to sleep.
Grandpa Oil stood up, looked up at Qingtan not far away, hesitated for a moment, picked up his crutches and walked directly there.
Qingtan is not big, but it is very deep inside, the water of the pool is slightly turbid, there are some dense duckweed floating on it, occasionally a few clumps of grass rise up from the bottom of the pool, the part above the water surface sways with the wind, and the top will bounce up quickly when immersed in the water, bringing up some blisters of different sizes.
"Gollum ......"
When Grandpa Oil walked to the edge of the pool, a rapid bubble sound suddenly came up from the bottom of the pool, and then, the bubbles quickly gathered, from small to large, from less to more, densely packed, hugging back and forth, until the end, it turned into a big bubble, tumbling upward, gradually bursting, and when countless ripples were raised, a white strange thing suddenly jumped out on the originally quiet water surface!
It is more than eight feet long, covered with colorful red armor, two large pincers are majestic and powerful, slender beards point straight to the sky, thick feet step on the mud, small black eyes divide the two sides, fierce light, imposing, live out of a fine prawn!
It is the shrimp ghost in Grandpa Oil's mouth, and he is a self-proclaimed prestige - a mighty general who stands up to the sky!
It's shameless.
When Grandpa Oil saw the shrimp ghost in front of him, he was about to speak, but the other party suddenly waved his hand at him, and he opened his mouth and said, "Shake the old tree, and the dead leaves don't know the roots." The white clouds are like dogs, and the pool is not deep. The mayfly wants to shake the tree, and the mantis arm is stuffy. If the name of the hero is pictured, the battle will be decided......!
"Enough!" Grandpa Oil really didn't want to listen to this idiot's nonsense, and he composed poems every time he came, which made him very big.
Suddenly interrupted, Grandpa Oil gently put down the cute treasure on his back, and complained, "Lord Shrimp Ghost, no one has ever appreciated your poems, you still do this, aren't you tired?"
The shrimp ghost was stunned for a moment after hearing this, frowned, and said with some displeasure, "That's the worldly people don't know how to appreciate, my masterpiece is for those literati and, and the vulgar people the size of sesame mung beans are not worthy of listening to my poems at all." ”
"Roaring, it's also a literati rioter, yes, it's quite sassy. Grandpa Oil is full of disdain, although the strength of this product in front of him is very strong, but this stinky problem of loving poetry is really annoying.
Strongly suppressed the anger in his heart, Grandpa Oil said with a straight face, "Lord Shrimp Ghost, I came this time to ......"
"Wait a minute, what did you just call me?" Hearing this, the shrimp ghost frowned and began to pick thorns.
"I'll call you Shrimp Ghost. ”
"Phew, what shrimp ghost, how many times have you told you, in the future, you will call me a mighty general who stands up to the sky and the earth!"
"Poof......
In a word, Zhou Nian, who was hiding behind the tree, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly covered his stomach, and the taste of holding back laughter made him almost fall off the tree!
It's so funny, I've never met such a stupid and funny prawn.
"That's it, what about the mighty general, this is a joke!" Zhou Nian sneered in his heart.
Grandpa You's body was slightly stunned, and after a while, he muttered in a low voice, "The name is too long, I can't remember it......"
"You!" After hearing this, the shrimp ghost was immediately annoyed, and the two big pincers rattled in front of Grandpa You, as if threatening, "If you can't remember, just remember it, I said that you old guy has lived for so long in vain, what are you eating melon seeds with such a big head?"
"The older you get, the worse your memory becomes. Grandpa Oil deliberately laughed at himself.
"Eat more walnuts, we have walnuts in this despicable forest, I'll give you a pot another day." "The shrimp ghost no longer shows its mental retardation all the time.
"Okay, Lord Shrimp Ghost, don't make trouble, I'm here for business. "Grandpa Oil is impatient, he can't beat him in the face of such a retard, he can only endure it, it's really unreasonable.
"Serious business?"
As soon as he heard that there was something serious, a trace of doubt appeared on the shrimp ghost's face, and after hesitating for a moment, it suddenly walked to Tan's side, stretched out two large tongs to grab a handful of aquatic plants, and then began to pull.
The strange scene, Grandpa You, who was watching the side, was a little confused, and couldn't help asking, "Lord Shrimp Ghost, what are you doing here?"
"Eat, I'm hungry!" the shrimp ghost didn't look back, and continued to pick up the aquatic plants in his hands.
......
Grandpa Oil suddenly wanted to leave here, and when he encountered such a heartless thing, he had to delay the big deal.
But for the comfort of the despicable forest, Grandpa Oil had to endure even if he was unwilling to do a hundred things, shaking his head and staring at the movements in the shrimp ghost's hand like a sigh, waiting for it to finish his own thing.
A few minutes later, a large area of aquatic grass had accumulated under the shrimp ghost's feet, like a small mountain, and with the last tip coming out of the water, a large fishing net was pulled up by the shrimp ghost.
Grandpa Oil looked at the things in the fishing net with a curious face, and what was covered by the green aquatic plants was actually a net of turtle eggs!
"This is, shrimp--egg, isn't it just nonsense!" Zhou Nian saw the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt very distressed about Grandpa You's situation.
This shrimp ghost actually dares to call himself a mighty general who stands up to the sky, who gave him the courage?
"Grandpa You, I sympathize with you, when you meet such a teammate, if nothing happens in the Despicable Forest, it will be unreasonable!" Zhou Nian said helplessly.
The shrimp ghost came to Grandpa Oil with the turtle eggs, opened the net, took out a few from it and threw them in his mouth, muttering while eating, "What's the matter, you can talk about it now, I'll listen while eating." ”
Grandpa Oil hated Hanako so much that he didn't get down to business, but asked a different question, "I said, Lord Shrimp, where did you get so many turtle eggs?"
"Stealing. "The shrimp ghost is very straightforward, and he is so justified in stealing things.
"Where did you steal it?"
"That's it. "The more the shrimp ghost eats, the more enjoyable it becomes, two in one bite is not enough, so he simply takes five in one bite, and his mouth is full.
Grandpa Oil was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "There are turtles in this Qingtan?"
"I had before, but I ran away. ”
"Oh, and how did you come across it?"
The shrimp ghost swallowed the turtle eggs in his mouth hard, and then said, "There was an old turtle who came here to lay eggs and invaded my territory, and I asked it to leave it and didn't listen, so I beat it up, and it scared it away, but the turtle eggs that lay them were gone, so I hoarded them and used them as food for the winter." ”
"You've eaten it now, so what about the winter?"
"I'll change places for the winter, I'm hungry now, I can eat if I want. ”
......
"You really don't have a plan, this year's winter may not be as good as usual, maybe it will be several times colder than before!"
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, the movements in the shrimp ghost's hand gradually slowed down, his eyes were fixed on Grandpa You, and he said in a low voice, "It's colder than in previous years?"
Grandpa Oil let out a long breath when he heard this, looked around for a while, and then whispered, "Lord Shrimp Ghost, I came to tell you about this matter this time, our forest has an intruder!"
