Chapter 35 Thousands of Miles of Voice
"Uh......h Whining...... Woowoo woo ......"
There seemed to be an intermittent sound from the distant seashore, neither the howling of the sea breeze, nor the swaying of trees, nor the sound of anything on the island, but more like a natural Sanskrit sound, as if it came from the sound of heaven and lonely.
The drunken Kuang Suo had some strange familiarity with this sound, he turned back to look for Li Yiting who had fallen behind, but he didn't see him, this guy, won't he vomit on the side of the road, isn't it as good as his own drinking? He was a little groggy in his mind now, and he was almost dragged forward by Qu Yihui.
"What did you hear?...... didn't you hear?" Kuang Shuo couldn't help but ask.
Qu Yihui seemed to be even more drunk, where did he have time to pay attention to these commonplace sounds.
"Brother, you are confused, what is the sound...... It must have been drinking too much, tinnitus. "When I came here, everyone seemed very relaxed, not to mention that now everyone is also familiar with each other, and the big men are not too particular about it, and they talk a lot more casually.
"Oh......" Kuang Shuo shook his head, basically accepting the explanation, but the flickering sound still burrowed into his ears, so that he couldn't help but continue listening, slowly, his ears seemed to become extremely sharp, and the whining sound became clearer and clearer.
A coast guard member next to him saw the strange expression on his face, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Jiudao, don't think about it, let me tell you, this is the voice of a conch, and it can only be heard so clearly on such an empty island." ”
"Conch?...... I've heard of it, but I didn't expect it to be able to blow loudly, and I thought it was a lie. "It's true that Kuangsuo has never seen a real conch, even ordinary shells are rare.
Qu Yihui patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, there are many things you haven't seen, this sea is amazing, we have been mixed for many years, and we don't know anything about it." ”
Kuang Shuo nodded, and stopped suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he remembered something.
"What's wrong?" Qu Yihui also stopped.
Half a day——
Kuang Shuo said: "No, I seem to have heard this song." …… Hey, what about the president?" he suddenly wanted to talk to Li Yiting, only to remember that he hadn't seen him for a long time.
Qu Yihui, who also seemed to have just noticed the situation, waved at a member of the coast guard.
"Probably because I met a beautiful girl who was reluctant to leave, you should go and find it. He made a prescient joke.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If it was the sound of a conch, it might be the most beautiful instrument he'd ever heard, and if it was a complete piece, it might well be someone Kuangshuo was looking for. He was still pondering, but the whining sound suddenly stopped, fortunately, Kuangsuo already had a rough direction, if there was no mistake in judgment, the person who blew the conch should not be far from here, but Li Yiting still did not appear, and Kuangsuo was a little anxious.
But at this time, Kuangsuo generally does not hesitate too much.
"Captain Qu, can you tell me where the conch's voice is on the island?" he had to consult a professional to verify his judgment.
"Huh, Jiudao, why are you so interested in this...... Maybe it's a kid playing around, but you still have to run over to see it yourself, and you don't see that your curiosity is quite strong. Qu Yihui was also a little surprised, it seemed that Kuangsuo seemed to be serious.
Kuang Suo ignored him, staggered in a general direction, and asked eagerly: "I'll go and investigate the specific reason and tell you, is it from this direction?"
"Southeast, almost, it seems that there is no sound anymore?" Qu Yihui looked at his expression, and he was indeed quite serious, "Do you want me to accompany you to have a look?"
Kuang Shuo bowed: "It's okay, I haven't stayed on the island, maybe I'll get lost, you can accompany me on a trip." …… Don't ask so much, I'm not sure if I'm right, we'll have to hurry up and get over there. ”
"No problem. Qu Yihui didn't say anything more this time, he casually threw his coat to one of his brothers, "You wait here, don't go too far." The others nodded their heads and said that there was no problem.
After about ten minutes, the two of them rushed to the beach as fast as they could, but there was no one in front of them except the endless sea and the black reef.
Qu Yihui said a little depressedly: "Come one step late, probably already left." ”
Kuang Suo also had a look of disappointment on his face, but he didn't speak, but continued to listen intently, this time except for the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, it was so quiet that people were speechless, and at this time, some cool sea breeze blew on his cold face, and he was much more sober.
He walked slowly to the grayish-white sandy beach, which was dotted with fine corals, cracked shells, and a few fragments of grass and trees, more coarse coral sand.
"There's a footprint here. He said softly.
Qu Yihui walked to his side and looked curiously, but found no obvious features, to be honest, the coast guard is not a police officer in the real sense, they are not good at trace inspection or anything, and they are not good at Kuangshuo, but he has his own unique skills.
"If you look closely, although these coral fragments themselves are not complete, most of them are naturally fragmented, but this piece ......" Kuang Shuo reached out and picked up a large coral branch, "obviously someone has just stepped on it, and it has split into many small pieces, but it is completely distributed on both sides, and if you look around it, it vaguely forms the appearance of a footprint." ”
After a long time, Qu Yihui shook his head: "I'm ashamed, I really can't see any difference." ”
Kuang Suo smiled: "It's really difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference, and I've had this interest for a long time...... However, the shape of a footprint alone is not enough to determine that someone has just come, so let's look a little further, and if I am not bad, we will probably be able to know which direction this person is going. ”
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The two of them followed the same method, and really found that every 70-80 cm, there were some similar fragmentation marks, this time even Qu Yihui also mastered some rules, but the extension direction of these footsteps surprised them, it turned out to be towards the shallow half hidden on the reef, there was a thin layer of stagnant water on the shallows, and the two were still wearing shoes, so they had to take them off and carry them on their hands.
Kuang Shuo judged that this person should have stepped on the reef, because the last footprint disappeared near a larger reef, but the reef here is dense, where will the people leave?
He picked up a handful of seawater and washed his face with cold seawater, the legend says that the seawater is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is true, now the sun is still a handful high, and the seawater is already a little cold, but the slippery and greasy is very different from fresh water, he feels that he has almost returned to the state before drinking, but he saw Qu Yihui also reached out to wash his face with seawater, and even poured a handful on his head.
"They said the sea was salty, and I wanted to taste it. Kuang Suo didn't know where the interest came from, and when he walked forward, he looked at the clear deep water, leaned over and scooped up his palm, "Ahem, it's so bitter......"
Qu Yihui couldn't help laughing, this guy is really interesting.
"It's authentic seawater, without any pollution, so it's bitter. ”
Kuang Suo glanced up at him: "Really?" He caught a glimpse of Qu Yihui's narrow expression, knowing that he had probably been deceived, and couldn't help but be happy.
"You said that this man walked on the reef, is it possible that he left footprints on the shallows?" he asked thoughtfully.
Qu Yihui said confidently: "Of course it's possible." ”
"Why?" Kuang Shuo was a little puzzled.
Qu Yihui squatted down and said slowly: "The truth is actually very simple, that is...... I've seen that footprint. ”
He raised his right hand and pointed to the edge of a small reef, where the water was shallow and below it were fine white grains of sand, like the beaches we were used to.
A very clear footprint appeared in front of the two of them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are you looking for me?" a sudden low voice rang in the ears of the two of them.
In front of them, there was a rather abrupt large reef, this black-brown reef was about two meters high, enough to block the view of the two of them, and the sound came from the back of the reef.
There sat a handsome young man, who did not bother to get up when he saw someone coming, but just looked at the sea quietly, not knowing what to think. He held a beautiful conch in his hand, with some colorful lines on it, as if it had been carved, glowing with a strange brilliance in the afterglow of the setting sun; Kuang Suo was only attracted by the beautiful appearance of the conch in front of him, but Qu Yihui knew that this was a very famous anchovy snail.
"Brother, hello Yaxing, such a beautiful scenery is really refreshing. Qu Yihui sighed from the bottom of his heart.
The young man looked calm, glanced back at the two of them slightly, and then looked at the sea in the distance.
"Who are you?" he said lightly.
Qu Yihui smiled: "If I say that we are just ordinary tourists, I guess you will not believe ......"
The young man was silent, and he didn't seem to care much about what the two men were saying, for they were not only face-to-face, but also a little bored, and most importantly, the person he was looking for did not appear.
"Since you are tourists, please don't disturb my leisure. His tone was somewhat indifferent.
Kuang Suo followed his gaze to the distant sea, where there was no one, not even a ship in sight, and he knew that he should find out what he wanted, or the opportunity would be fleeting.
"Brother, if I'm guessing correctly, the tune you just played should be a sea requiem. He stared at the young man, deliberately observing his expression.
Unexpectedly, the young man's expression barely changed, and even the meticulous Kuangshuo felt surprised, could it be that he guessed wrong.
"There are many people who know the Requiem, and it's not surprising that you know. The young man said lightly, "Are you here to apply for lyrics?"
"Lyrics?" Kuang Shuo was a little crying and laughing, "Could it be that you put up a poster...... "He actually just said it casually, and when the young man said that he was enlisted, he would have this inexplicable idea.
"Just say it in the tavern and the whole island will know. ”
Kuang Suo finally couldn't help but say, "Brother, is your big name Mu Lian?"
This time, the young man finally turned his head slowly, staring at Kuangsuo with his eyes, but his answer disappointed Kuangsuo.
"Of course not. ”
Looking at the slightly lost expressions of the two, he suddenly laughed.
"I can take you to meet someone, though. ”[.]
