Chapter 39 —The Facelings

Olivia didn't guess right, although Zhu Biao started to run towards the west of the island, he turned a corner halfway and went back to the east with a puff of smoke.

He had to go back to the bottom of the cliff to find Guo Dalu.

Guo Dalu hadn't woken up yet, Zhu Biao probed his breathing and heartbeat again, which were more normal than himself, and his face looked gentle, not like a coma, but like he was sleeping soundly.

Zhu Biao hesitated slightly, did not try to wake him up again, but sat next to him to rest, crawling and rolling for a long time, he was also so tired that he was about to lose his strength.

After resting, Zhu Biao slowly fell asleep.

The first rays of the morning sun woke him up.

Zhu Biao instinctively opened his eyes, didn't see anything clearly, first felt a stinging pain in the corners of his eyes, and quickly closed his eyes to adapt for a while, the light in his eyelids turned from dark to bright, brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter.

He raised his left hand between his eyebrows, opened his eyes again, and saw a huge star leap up from the place where the sea and the sky met, and the golden light burst out like a sharp arrow.

It is the first sun, the star shared by the three districts of the capital, and sunrise is perhaps the sharpest time of the day.

Zhu Biao stood up unconsciously, facing the abundant water vapor brought by the sea breeze, he breathed smoothly, and admired the world gradually becoming more and more delicate in the clear light, as if the whole person had been washed from the outside.

"It's so comfortable!" Zhu Biao groaned, stretched out his arms and stretched his waist widely, and stretched his arms and kicked his legs, moving his stiff body.

Later, he habitually started broadcasting gymnastics, Zhu Biao thought while doing it, he had to wake up Guo Dalu later, and if it didn't work, he would really try artificial respiration......

After all, he was injured, and he didn't dare to do too drastic movements, and after the activity, he looked at his left chest rib in the sun, probably not as strict as the fracture he thought, and the pain dissipated a lot after sleeping, and a fist-sized bruise floated on the surface of the skin.

It's not a fracture, Zhu Biao's hanging heart was put back in place, and when he raised his head, he found a familiar thing floating on the sea.

He looked twice, and the thing was pushed by the waves, and was gently and deftly carried to the shore.

It's Guo Dalu's straw hat...... Zhu Biao took two steps forward, and the waves washed up on the beach, gently brushing his instep, leaving the straw hat and quickly retreating.

Zhu marked this straw hat with lace, Guo Dalu seemed to like it, but he actually fell into the sea and was washed ashore, Guo Dalu must have been very happy when he woke up.

He bent down and reached for the straw hat, but he didn't drag it.

"Huh?" Zhu Biao looked at it again, and the inside of the straw hat was upside down, and something seemed to be pressed inside.

It is a pebble, showing a crystal white color, I don't know how many billions of years it has been washed by the water, the surface does not see the slightest edges and corners, and it is also slippery and very easy to touch.

Zhu Biao took it out of the straw hat with two hands, not too heavy, at least lighter than the stone of this volume he imagined, at most two or three kilograms, the curvature of the surface fits the palm of his hand tightly, the stone is cold and greasy, and he feels like he can't put it down after holding it for a while.

Bringing it back can be used as a gift, Zhu Biao suddenly thought that Xu Yan's perception of the outside world was only the sense of smell, taste and touch, and he should like this stone with a good touch.

Zhu Biao didn't bother to think about whether Xu Yan was willing to accept his gift, he wanted to make friends with Xu Yan, wanted to be good to him, in the final analysis, it was just his unilateral kindness, Xu Yan could accept it, of course, it was okay if he couldn't accept it, and he didn't have to make friends in the future, and he was not bad for him.

He pulled out the enchanted piece of skin from his trouser pocket, put the stone in it, patted it flat, and folded it back into his pocket.

Hearing a noise behind him, he turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was Guo Dalu who sat up and finally woke up safely.

…………

……

The two walked back to the west of the island, Zhu Biao did not hide it from Guo Dalu, and told him a rough story about what happened after he fell unconscious last night, Guo Dalu opened his mouth stupidly when he heard it, the early sun was approaching the middle of the sky, Zhu Biao carefully observed under the bright light, but could no longer find any traces of the mask.

Because the day and night in the second district of the capital are only nine hours, the first undersea train arrives at half past one in the second district time, and twelve o'clock in the standard time, Zhu Biao and Guo Dalu are the only two passengers.

The light outside turned from bright to dark, and the train quickly dived to the bottom of the sea, Zhu Biao and Guo Dalu had nothing to do, and they couldn't sleep if they wanted to, so they had to look at the transparent window in a daze.

There was almost no light in the deep sea, and it was pitch black when they looked out, but the lights were lit up in the carriage, and the two of them could only see their reflections on the car window, lined with the sea water that seemed to be eternal silence, and after looking at it for a long time, they felt a sense of horror from the bottom of their hearts.

"Let's talk," Zhu Biao shuddered, rubbing the goosebumps that had just risen, "Why don't I tell you a story?" ”

Guo Dalu thought he was cold, but unfortunately the ugly coat was also thrown in the square, so he buttoned the straw hat on Zhu Biao's chest, leaned closer to him, and tried to warm him with his body.

"Well," he asked cheerfully, "what story?" ”

"Well," Zhu Biao thought for a while, "Have you heard the story of a man turning into a pig?" ”

"No ......"

"Once upon a time there was a little girl whose parents were turned into pigs by the gods because of greed, and she wanted them to turn back, and she had to work for the gods to atone for her sins...... By the way, her name is Chihiro......"

The train stopped one stop after another, the passengers came up and went down with a bang, Zhu Biao's story was told for a long time, Guo Dalu listened very carefully, sometimes the passengers next to him would listen, and a little girl had to sit in his arms to listen, and when she got off the train, she pulled her mother's clothes and cried.

At the last stop, the light outside slowly brightened again, and the train drove from the deep sea to the shallow sea, the sunlight penetrated the water, and the windows looked out of the car with a jewel-like gold.

After Zhu Biao finished telling the story, he glanced out the window and said with emotion: "Chihiro and the Facelings took the train to find Granny Qian, and their train was also going from the bottom of the water to the land, and the scenery they saw should be similar to ours." ”

Guo Dalu didn't answer, maybe it was too long to ride in the car, and he became a little listless.

The two got off the train, the station and the airport were not far away, and Zhu Biao raised his eyes and saw the high terminal, with people coming and going, just as lively as a day ago.

He was just about to move forward, but Guo Dalu seemed to have just reacted, and asked abruptly behind him, "Why doesn't Chihiro like Facelings?" ”

Zhu Biao turned his head to look at him, and Guo Dalu also stared at him, frowning tightly, looking very distressed and unable to figure it out.

"The Facelings have been through so much with her and helped her save her parents, why doesn't she like him?"

Zhu Biao wanted to say that it was because it was just a fairy tale and not a love story, but Guo Dalu stared at him stubbornly, and it seemed that he would never accept such an answer.

Well, Zhu Biao thought about it and really came up with a reason: "Because faceless people don't have faces, she prefers handsome guys with faces." ”

Guo Dalu: "......"

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand and put his hand on his shoulder, pushing him to walk forward perfunctorily: "The white dragon is handsome, little girl, I like it at a glance, and people are dragons, dragons!" ”

The water waves behind the two of them moved gently, and dozens of meters down, a long tail swinged, and a huge body meandered away, disappearing into the depths where the sunlight could not penetrate without slowness.
