The little boy lay on the ground and reached out and tried to touch the beads he had just seen.

With the other hand, he grabbed the potted plant next to him.

He looked sideways, grinning.

It is the time when spring is chilly, and the temperature in the water is still cold.

The little boy rolled up his sleeves and had small goose bumps floating on his exposed arms.

...

The little boy's eyes lit up.

His fingertips touched the round beads.

"Huh~"

He took a deep breath, stretched his hand a little further, and his cheeks touched the pool water that was quite cold.

Captured!

The little boy grinned.

...

The little boy didn't look at the beads he brought up, after all, it was a bit difficult for him to turn his head in this position.

He stuffed the beads into his pants pocket and then put his hand into the pool.

The water in the pool suddenly came with a great obstacle, as if he wanted to steal the beads from his hand. The little boy pursed his lips and looked stubborn. Even if his body was slowly being dragged into the water, he just refused to let go.

That's his bead!

The little boy held his breath.

His nose was already touching water.

I saw half of his face coming into the water.

The next second, the little boy blinked, and the force in the water disappeared.

He easily took his hands out of the water.

What's going on?

The little boy was a little confused.

But I didn't care too much.

He reached into the water again.

...

After staying at the bottom of the pool for a while, I found that there were no beads. Then the little boy shook his arm and climbed up with some difficulty holding the potted plant next to him.

After lying for a long time, his body became stiff.

There is even more aching feeling of excessive stretching on the arms and shoulders.

But when the little boy thought of the beads he had taken back, a big smile appeared on his face.

He took out the beads in his pocket and placed them on the stone table.

Um?

The little boy looked at the beads on the table with some confusion.

Why are there too many?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight?

"Three more."

The little boy murmured.

"Hey, this bead is different."

“So too.”

The little boy divided the beads on the table into two sides.

One side is transparent glass marbles.

On one side is white and moist... "Pearl?"

The little boy opened his eyes wide, looking surprised.

He knows the pearls.

My mother has a pearl necklace, which is very precious.

Before, he had seen that the pearls were very similar to the glass marbles he liked to play with, so he asked his mother for the pearls, but her mother didn't give them to him.

He also repeatedly told him not to let him play with his mother's pearl necklace.

Although he "coves" his mother's pearls, he did not dare to really go against his mother's words.

My mother was so terrifying when she got angry.

"hey-hey."

The little boy smiled proudly.

My mother didn't give him the pearls, he found them by himself.

......

The little boy subconsciously looked around.

My mother said that pearls are very expensive.

He can't play.

The empty yard made him feel relieved.

He did not notice the turbulence of the water in the pond.

A gray-black figure surfaced.

The four eyes of the bead fish were all staring at the pearls on the stone table.

Its pearls.

...

The child's hand was put into the water just now, but the beaded fish didn't care.

It sensed the extra foreign objects at the bottom of the pool.

They are round beads that are somewhat similar to their pearls.

Its only eye that opened a slit was closed.

The breath of the whole body became silent again.

The fluctuations in the surrounding water flow can no longer attract its attention.

So it was already a little late when it found out that its pearl was taken.

It wants to snatch its own pearls from the child, but eventually makes concessions to the child's stubbornness.

It can't really drag this human child into the water.

Although the water in this pool is not deep, it is not that shallow.

Especially this human child is still in the water.

It knows that humans cannot breathe in water.

...

The beaded fish was worried, and finally could only watch the little boy leave the yard with a happy look on his face.

"Originally, the girl from the Men wanted to help me get the pearls back."

"I stopped it."

Although the pearl fish really wants to get back its pearls, it is unwilling to cause trouble, "It's too obvious."

Take the pearls back under the little boy's nose...

Although he knew this rationally, the beaded fish was still angry.

So there is the scene that Xiao’s mother saw later.

Unexpectedly, Xiao’s mother called Lord Xiao Xiao back.

It didn't want to tell Lord Xiao Xiao about this so quickly.

The pearl is gone, it is angry, but it doesn't want to bother Lord Xiao Xiao because of this.

The pearl can only be treated as a gift to the human boy.

After all, it cannot get the pearls back by itself alone.
