"The king asked me... to steal fish..."
It was dark at night, and a dozen or so green-shell crabs, only a few feet in size, were digging into the field ridges and singing happily.
By the way, they learned this song from the little loach patrolling Huang'ao Village. They thought the tune was catchy, so they started shouting it too.
"Everyone, please work harder. Once this order is completed, we will change villages." Not far away, stood a crab with a red shell.
Its body is only about one foot, and it has two pincers, one large and one small, which looks a bit funny.
But it is clearly the backbone of the crabs, and all crabs obey his command.
With the unremitting efforts of a group of green-shell crabs, a hole was finally dug into the field ridge. The water in the field rushed into the ditch, and along with the water flow, there were many fish fry raised in the rice fields.
The crabs opened their mouths and spat out, turning into bubbles and blocking the dug holes.
The fry were caught one by one by the bubbles, and they were filled to the brim in a blink of an eye.
Because Huangao Village is planted in paddy fields, the villagers will raise some fish fry in the fields every time it is time to transplant rice. When the rice plants grow up, these fry will be as big as a palm.
For farmers, these are delicacies that are readily available.
"Earlier, I heard my grandfather say that human society is good. It's true. You can get so much food easily."
Looking at the bubbles floating on the water and the rice field fish in the bubbles, the red shell crabs almost shed their tears.
"Let's retreat!"
The red-shell crab shouted loudly, and a group of green-shell crabs climbed onto the bubbles and ran along the current.
Just when it was about to run away, a foot appeared out of thin air and stepped on its shell.
"I said who the bastard dared to let me go, but it turned out to be a red crab!" Qiu Ping stretched out his hand and lifted the red-shelled crab up. The crab was only about one foot in size. Even if Qiu Ping was not that big, he could easily lift it up. Hold it in your hand.
"You...how did you find me?" The red-shell crab was so frightened that it was foaming at the mouth and waving its two pincers, one big and one small.
But its shell was pinched, and no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't escape Qiu Ping's control.
"Let go of our king, we will fight with you!"
Seeing that the boss was being manipulated, the group of green-shell crabs rushed over with their claws and teeth bared.
"go away."
Under the influence of his authority, the surrounding water flowed and turned into whirlpools.
These crabs were entangled in the whirlpool and could not escape at all. Instead, after being spun around for dozens of times, they became dizzy one by one and almost vomited out.
"Name, age, place of origin."
Qiu Ping turned over the red-shell crab, threw it on the ridge of the field, and asked.
He is really interested in this group of crabs now. They don't know what means they have used to make themselves and the landlord lose their authority. They are completely unable to sense where there is a problem in the fields. Even the little loaches have No trace of them could be found during inspections.
But there are always surprises.
Although Qiu Ping couldn't catch these crabs, Bai Saner and the others could.
Because Bai Saner does not detect objects using vision or spiritual sense, but through ultrasound. After the sound wave hits the object, it can feedback the shape and size of the object in front. These crabs lost their traces in the "sight" and "soul detection", but they could not avoid the sound wave detection.
This is why Bai Saner and the others discovered that there was a group of crabs in Huang'ao Village, but Qiu Ping was never able to find them.
"If you can, kill me, young master. I'll have a big scar on my head. I'll frown and call myself a crab in the East China Sea." The red-shell crab shouted loudly.
"It turns out it's still a sea crab. I appreciate your toughness. Bai San'er, make a fire and boil some water. I want to eat crabs today."
Qiu Ping laughed, while Bai Saner on the side quickly brought a pile of firewood and skillfully lit the fire and set up the pot in one go.
The red-shell crab was thrown directly into the pot. The flames below burned fiercely, and the temperature in the pot rose little by little.
The red shell crab was sweating a little. Why didn't this man give him any room for bargaining? If he didn't even have a few oral pleasures, you wouldn't come up and cook me.
"Then...my name is Crab Roe'er. I have ancestors in my family who serve as soldiers for the Dragon King of the East China Sea. They have a very strong background. Don't mess around."
The red-shell crab quickly explained its origins while struggling to climb out of the pot.
"I still appreciate your unruly look just now, but by the way, why does your name sound so delicious?" Qiu Ping looked at the red-shell crab up and down, and when he saw it was about to climb out of the pot, he put it in again It clicked.
"It's not delicious, it's not delicious. Sea crabs don't have much to eat, and river crabs are delicious... Oh no, no, river crabs aren't delicious either. Crabs aren't delicious either." Crab roe felt the increasing water temperature. I couldn't help but use my magic power to resist the high temperature.
But its strength is really shallow, and it can't withstand the increasing temperature in the pot.
"Tell me, what means did you use to obscure our perception?" Qiu Ping asked slowly.
"This... this, someone in my family works as an errand in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, so my family's bloodline is also very good, and I am born with hidden magical powers. As long as I use it, with me as the center, the shape and energy in a hundred steps radius will be covered." Crab's eyes rolled a few times and he spoke.
"I don't believe it, but I can give you another chance to explain."
Qiu Ping looked at Crab Roe with a smile. At this moment, small bubbles began to appear in the water in the pot. It was estimated that the temperature was close to 70 degrees.
Ordinary crabs here are almost cooked red.
Of course, crab roe is born with a red shell, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s cooked or not.
"I'm telling the truth, how do you want me to explain it?" Crab Roe was anxious, its claws were jumping up and down in the pot, but the hot water in the pot seemed to be spiritual, and it insisted on clinging to it, refusing to let go. It breaks away.
"I heard that eating crabs makes you jealous, but I don't know if you want to eat sea crabs. By the way, you must be a male crab, so you don't have any crab roe. It's really a waste of such a good name." Qiu Ping ignored it at all. Instead of trying to defend himself, he said it to himself.
"Gurgling."
The water in the pot is close to boiling, and the crab roe is squeaking so hot.
"I said, I said, it's this sea-covering flag. It's an heirloom of my family. It can gather water vapor, refract images, and block energy. It's also a treasure used in military formations to hide the enemy from the sky." Crab Roe finally couldn't stand it anymore.
In front of its little life, it still chose to surrender.
It opened its mouth and spat out a flag that was no more than a few inches in size.
The flag swelled in the wind, and in an instant it was nine feet high, flapping in the wind. On the flag is embroidered a red-shell crab with teeth and claws.
Seeing this flag, Qiu Ping was shocked.
I can change it as I wish. This is a great treasure!
