The pattering spring rain kept falling, falling on the mountains and forests, on the fields, and on the ponds.
The fine raindrops caused ripples in the slightly turbid pond water.
"Be brave, be careful, and pay attention to the front, back, left, and right! Clean the sand first, then the mud, and then use pliers to explore the bottom..."
The red-shell crab waved its large claws and dug into the soil again and again.
However, now that he has been working for too long, the shell is stained with a layer of mud, and it looks like a native blue crab.
With these hours of practice, he has successfully learned to dig holes, and with his diligent study, he has now even become a model for digging holes among the small loaches in Huang'ao Village.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
Qiu Yi hugged the food bowl and opened his mouth to call out.
The little loaches gave up drilling holes and gathered around him.
"Crab Roe, come and eat!" Seeing that only the red-shell crab was still sticking to his post, Qiu Yi shouted to him again.
"You go and eat first. I'm not tired. The village is about to run out of water. We have to dredge the pond quickly. We can't delay the irrigation."
Crab Roe'er turned around and grinned at Qiu Yi, showing a simple and tired smile that made people feel a little distressed.
When Qiu saw this, he was filled with emotion.
Crab Roe has really changed into a crab recently, he is diligent and hard-working. He will call on the children to learn from him and not fall behind.
"Then let's go eat first." Qiu Yi led the loaches to an open space, scooped up a spoonful of fish food and scattered it everywhere.
A group of small loaches swarmed up, fighting for each other, it was so lively.
In the distance, Crab Roe twisted his face, and a sneer appeared on his face hidden in the shadows.
"These silly loaches are so easy to deceive." He quietly opened a piece of camouflaged mud not far away, revealing a two-foot-square hole underneath, with twists and turns inside, and no one knew how deep it was.
This is his achievement in the past half month. This tunnel is still almost dug under the Well Temple.
When the time comes, when Qiu Ping isn't paying attention, he can take back his Haihai Flag and Dragon Ball, pat his butt and leave, leaving the black loach to cry.
A sense of intellectual superiority arose in Crab Roe's heart.
Crab Roe saw that there was no one around, so he dived into the hole. After a while of twists and turns, he finally reached the end of the tunnel.
Seize the time today and try to dig another one or two feet so that the tunnel can be dug out as soon as possible.
…
"Gududu."
Within the scope of the Fu River, countless whirlpools suddenly appeared, and nearly translucent figures emerged from above, and then spread towards the surroundings of the river with a slight bounce.
The old turtle who had been sleeping in Hebo Temple suddenly opened his eyes, and its huge aura spread in all directions.
"The Dragon Palace of the East China Sea is arresting criminals, and local water officials are not allowed to stop them!"
A cold voice came from the whirlpool, slightly revealing the pressure of the true dragon, which suppressed the water tribe within the entire Fuhe River.
"It's the Anliu camp in the East China Sea. What criminals did they come to Fuhe to catch?" A trace of worry flashed across He Bo's face.
Those translucent figures are all a notorious species in the East China Sea - willow eels.
Their bodies are transparent and they move very fast. They are responsible for patrolling and arresting the Dragon Palace and collecting intelligence. Once you are targeted by them, no matter how innocent you are, you will still have to be stripped of your skin.
Now, these Tiqi have come to Fuhe, which is not a good sign.
The Dragon Palace of the East China Sea is the nominal immediate superior of these human water officials, but the local water god and the city god are actually more closely integrated. Unless it is the appointment or dismissal of water officers above the fifth rank, Donghai usually does not care about local affairs.
This is also the tacit understanding between the Chenghuang family and Donghai.
"First clean the sand, then clean the mud, and then use..." The red-shell crab took the lead, and a group of small loaches followed him. Everyone worked together to dig the ditch in Huang'ao Village bit by bit deeper, so that more water could be stored. Lots of water.
As soon as he clamped down, he suddenly felt something was wrong. It didn't feel like he was poking into the mud, but rather like he was poking into an empty space.
While he was stunned, he saw a whirlpool emerging from the bottom of the pond out of thin air. The whirlpool continued to expand, and several transparent figures emerged from it, and a sharp aura spread to the surroundings.
The red-shell crab's eyes suddenly widened, its mouth clucked, and it quietly hid its small pliers behind its back.
"It seems to be around here, let's look for it." Several figures exchanged words quickly, then turned their attention to the red-shell crabs and a group of small loaches.
"Wuna Black Guy, have you ever seen this red-shell crab?" One of the translucent figures changed slightly, and the surrounding light was distorted. It quickly transformed into a pitch-black eel, exuding a cold and stern aura.
Then its magic power transformed, and a bright red crab appeared in the air. Its body was about a foot long, and its pincers were one big and the other small.
At this moment, Crab Roe's body was covered with a layer of black because he had been digging in the mud for too long. He looked gray and gray. Even his relatives might not be able to recognize him here.
Crab Roe's heart started to beat like crazy. It's over, it's over, why did the spy from the East China Sea come here after him?
I'm afraid I'll die this time.
Behind them, Qiu Yi, Qiu Er, Qiu San and all the little loaches looked strange. Hey, why does that transformed crab look so much like a crab roe?
"And you little loaches, if you have seen this crab, tell me immediately, otherwise you will be punished as harboring felons." The black eel's eyes swept over the group of little loaches and saw their skin color. It was almost the same as he was now. His face suddenly felt uneasy, and then the light around him continued to distort, and his whole body turned blue again.
"This crab..." Qiu touched his head naively, about to make up a reason to trick the eels away.
"I've seen this crab before!"
Before Qiu Yi finished speaking, he heard another voice interjecting, but he only saw a boy standing on the ridge of the field, with two fleshy whiskers on his lips fluttering up and down.
Crab Roe on the side had an urge to urinate so much that he almost fainted. Damn Loach was really unreliable. He was trying to kill himself.
"Hmm! Where?"
Several willow eels quickly floated into the air and came to Qiu Ping's side. He subconsciously wanted to control them first.
As Dragon Palace spies, they are accustomed to being lawless. Not to mention the local minor gods of the eighth or ninth grade, even the water gods of the fourth and fifth grades, as long as there is an order from the Dragon Palace, they will dare to investigate.
However, Qiu Ping calmly swayed his body and kept distance from the group of eels.
"That crab came to my place to steal something to eat. I wanted to catch it and make it my slave. But this kid's hands were not clean. After working for only a few days, he openly asked for bribes in my name. After being tortured by me, After being beaten, it ran away to the west. I don't know where it is now." Qiu Ping smiled, facing these weird-looking eels, he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart.
