“这样的玩具还有多少?”悠悠激动地问道。
“很多,很多。”贝贝慢慢说道,“全部都在船舱后面。”
“太好了!有多少我要多少。”悠悠说着,转身问道,“仁,咱们在云之谷拿的掌中草还有吧?”
“有!”仁把掌中草从壳里拿出了个袋子,骄傲地说道,“都是干干的,一点都没湿!”
“太好了!”悠悠转身对人鱼族长问道,“您刚才说水晶宫是建在海面上的?可以跟我讲讲他的结构吗?”
“当然可以。”族长说道,“可是我知道的也有限,不知道对你们有没有帮助。”他说着,在沙子上画出了水晶宫大致的模样。
“我现在有个计划,可以到水晶宫救你们的族人!”悠悠有信心地说道,“但我需要你们每个人的配合。”
小伙伴们,人鱼们慢慢聚拢,听着悠悠的讲述,慢慢地,脸上都露出了笑容。
***********************
清晨,****稍稍减弱,水晶宫的守卫发现了几个形迹可疑的人。
只见这几个人脚不沾水,在风雨里艰难地朝水晶宫“飘”来。
守卫看到这几个人既不是鱼类,也不像渔人,有点惊讶,不敢擅自做主,赶紧去禀报水晶宫宫主巴斯。
巴斯正在宫殿里数珍珠,听说有奇怪的人朝这边过来,忍不住好奇跑出去看了看,发现那些人真的长得好奇怪,有的毛茸茸的,长耳朵,有的花花的纹路,很健壮,有的高高的个子,伸着根紫色的舌头,有的像海龟,但是个头非常小,有的像渔人,但却没有斗笠坎。最重要的是,他们都不用腿走路,而是飘在海上!
“你们是谁?”巴斯喊道。他从小生活在鱼之谷,海里的动物见得多了,可是陆地上的动物却从来都没有见过。
“我们是远方来的商人,专门来给鱼之谷的渔人送武器来的,请问这里是鱼之谷吗?”小长颈鹿妖智大声喊道。
鱼之谷?渔人?武器?
巴斯一听,愣了一下,说道,“你们要给鱼之谷的渔人送武器?”
“对呀,上次他们用鱼换金子的时候,说喜欢我们的武器,可是那时候我们的武器太少了,不能卖给他们,现在我们希望用武器换更多的鱼。”智大声喊道,“如果这是鱼之谷的话,快给我们开门,我们又累又饿,带的武器又多又重!”
“这帮渔人又趁我不注意,偷偷溜出去卖鱼了!”巴斯气呼呼地琢磨,“居然还想买武器?想得美!所有的武器我全都要了!”
“开门!”巴斯说道。
“咯哒哒……”
随着大门的打开,悠悠和小灵妖们被渔人领进了水晶宫。
悠悠边“飘”,边仔细观察这座宫殿的样子—
半透明白色石头砌成的城墙,水晶做成的窗,钻石镶嵌的门把手,就算在阴天都熠熠生光。宫殿里面的摆设更加奢华,巨大的珊瑚吊灯,灯火长明,珍珠玛瑙砌成的桌椅,富丽堂皇。巨大的扇贝里摆着一颗和人一样高的夜明珠,散发着迷人的光辉。
悠悠注意到不管是进来还是离开的渔人们,当他们走台阶的时候,都是紧贴着侧边走的,难道台阶的中间有什么问题?

“How many of these toys are there?” asked Yoyo
“A lot a lot.” Said Bella stunned,“All of them are at the back of the ship.”
“YASS! Give me as many as you can.” Said Yoyo very excitedly “Ren, do you still have the grass fruit?”
“Yes!” Ren said proudly as he got some out of his shell.“See, nice and dry.”
“Good.” Said Yoyo looking at the mermaids.“You guys said that the crystal palace is merely near the surface. So you mermaids can be my guide.”
“My knowledge is very limited” said the mermaid “I will show you the basic paths and hopefully it will help you.” He then drew a simple map in the sand.
“I have got a plan on how to get to the crystal palace to rescue the residents.” Said the Yoyo in a brave manner.“But I need your full corporation.”
Everyone came closer to Yoyo and Yoyo explained the plan. After the explanation, they all had a grin.
After the storm became weaker, some of the guards from the crystal palace saw some weird people.
Those people’s feet were not getting wet and was floating closer.
The guards were curious about the mysterious figures but soon went to tell Buzz.
Buzz was in the palace counting pearls. When he heard that there were figures coming towards them, he just had to run out to see them. He soon figured out that they actually do look quite weird. Some had fur, long ears and some even had stripes and looked very strong. Some were tall and had purple tongues. Some looked like sea turtles but they are very small. Some looked like fishermen but they didn’t have any matching clothes. But the most interesting thing is that they didn’t swim, they floated.
“Who are they?” Buzz asked curiously. From his early age he has seen enough wildlife in the water but yet has seen non on land.
“We are a business type. We are here to trade weapons. By the way, is this water valley?” Zhi shouted.
Water valley, fisherman, weapons?
Buzz hesitated for a moment but reluctantly asked,“So you are heading to water valley to trade?”
“Correct, when we were buying fish from the fishermen, they pointed out that they liked our weapons. However, at that time, we did not have enough to trade, but now, we do. SO IF THIS IS WATER VALLEY, PLEASE OPEN THE GATES NOW BECAUSE WE ARE HUNGRY AND TIRED.”
“Those stinking fishermen, they think that they can sneak out?” Buzz thought angrily,“I have all the weapons I need.”
“Open the door Buzz said aloud.”
‘CREEAAAK’
The doors slowly opened up and Yoyo and the demons were greeted inside of the crystal palace.
They walked slowly carefully to make sure not to trigger any of the traps, also to investigate the palace as they hovered to make sure that they did not miss a single tincy wincy detail for it might be crucial to the plan they had.
The crystal palace was translucent with colourful rocks. Crystal windows all over and the door handles are decorated with diamonds. Even though with fog, the palace was still dimly glowing. Inside the palace was even more luxurious. The light stands were made of coral. The lights were not going off at all. The tables and chairs were made of pearls and limestone. There was a giant clam with a night pearl as big as Yoyo. The night pearl was glowing so light that it was like a disco ball.
Yoyo noticed that all of the fishermen that worked for Buzz are walking on either left or right sides of the stairs. Was there a problem with the middle?
