Chapter Twenty-Four: The Emerald River

Insects are very simple life, just like other animals and plants, they walk on their own life path, are working hard to live, the same, there are many insects and animals and plants, their life process has a very important link, that is, reproduction......

Some insects will abandon most of their bodies in times of crisis, and throw out their own "seeds", this phenomenon is probably also an instinct of life, continuous continuation, from eternity to the present, fragile, but incomparably magnificent, magnificent.

Of course, there are also insects that do not need to reproduce, or in other words, they do not understand their reproduction methods and do not know the reason for their existence, such as the forbidden insects that are assimilated and carried by the cherry blossoms, they do not have the so-called reproduction theory, their life instinct only leads to death and withering......

As a rare insect, Shadow actually reproduces, or rather, all its behaviors are really for reproduction and life, Shadow is afraid of the sun, but the sunlight can't kill them, how to cause harm, it's just instinctively afraid.

Therefore, they will hide and attach to the shadow of the creature, and they are particularly fond of the shadow, but they will not attach themselves to the body of the creature, and no one knows why, which is probably the same as ordinary people can't fly.

They "obscure" their shadows, like geckos, emitting demonic light that cannot be discerned by human vision, which is a way of simulating the fantasy of the surrounding border, so the result is as if there were no shadows.

This is exactly what the name of the shadow is, hiding in the shadow, hiding the shadow in it......

And this kind of boarding state will last for about half a year, and at that time it is also the time when the lifespan of the shadow will be cut off, yes, the lifespan of the shadow is only half a year, and in some ways, it is a very short-lived worm, compared to the long-lived worm that has lasted for hundreds of years, of course, it is much worse......

When the shadow comes to the end of its life, it does not mean the end, on the contrary, it is only the beginning of a new life, it will slowly break away from the shadow it resides, and wave out the fireflies that will burn itself, and use these heterogeneous fires to envelop the "larvae" and continue to spread out......

This is exactly the "light firefly", only one night of existence opportunity is a fleeting scene, and those new shadows will find a suitable carrier, and stay in that shadow during this night, only in this way, can the next life cycle begin.

If you don't find a suitable shadow during the night, then when the morning sun appears, these larvae will return to the long river of life, which is the life of the hidden shadow worm......

……

But Urashimatai's situation is different, if it was when he had just returned from the mountains, I'm afraid it would be different from the normal situation, because at that time, the hidden shadow may not be in his shadow, but attached to his body!

If you block the shadow from the human eye, you can't see the shadow, but if you block the person who produces the shadow, then of course there will be no shadow, and the shadow at that time is probably only attached to the side of Urashima Tai with his back to the sun.

At that time, if the insect master discovered the hidden shadow on his body, then he only needed a little deworming to solve his matter, but unfortunately, such a thing did not happen.

And as time went by little by little, those insects, I am afraid that little by little they penetrated into the skin of Urashima Tai, so that the shell that was no longer covered was revealed, and his shadow reappeared, but for this young man, it became a near-desperate situation.

No one has ever known how the Shadows obtain nutrients, but there is no doubt that they obtain the Fountain of Life emitted by the veins of light from the depths of the earth through the attached shadows, and now, there is only one way for them to obtain nutrients, and that is the life that belongs to this person, and blood is a good substitute for the Fountain of Life.

As a result of the absorption of life force and nutrients, the person named Urashimatai is not able to carry out normal life activities, but fortunately, as a parasite, even the most primitive and simple life still understands the truth of the natural world, and many people fully pay attention to the truth.

The Hidden Shadow did not completely absorb all the nutrients provided to the human body, but maintained the life of this body, and even, with the efforts of Urashima Yue, this body has been operating in such a minimum life posture, in other words, Urashima Tai, is indeed alive......

……

"So all we can do now is wait, in a few days, by that time, maybe, there will be a way, originally, if these worms have been staying in your brother's body, then, things will be a lot more troublesome, if they can be almost intact and let them disappear on their own, it will be much better."

After saying the current situation to Urashima Tsuki, Sakura calmly commanded Urashima Tsuki, and Urashima Tsuki, who heard Sakura say this, suddenly collapsed as if he had received some good news, and sat diagonally in the corridor like that, supporting the floor with one hand.

"But that's just speculation, can you accept it?"

“……”

"That's enough......"

The murmur came slowly from Urashima Yue's mouth, and it was at this time that Sakura slightly understood what this girl was grieving about, and what she was confused about was only the judgment of whether her only relative was dead.

If she dies before this, then the girl will go crazy, and if it is later, then the most is only to slowly sit up after a near-cut grief, or live with this scar forever.

The difference between this is incomprehensible, but Sakura is clearly aware of the situation, and she can conclude that it will all be like this, but she can't understand why, inexplicably, she will feel a sadness, not because of the girl's 'lack of affection', but because of the incident itself.

……

Because the specific time is difficult to estimate, the approximate time can only be estimated in these days, and the only thing to pay attention to is the abnormality in the young man's body, or rather, when there are signs of the transformation of the shadow into a firefly, it is also the best time.

And this day did not come as late as expected, just in the evening of the intended day, when the sun had not completely set, Urashima Moon ran to most of the time, staying alone next to Sakura who meditated in a quiet place.

"Sakura, Sakura-sama! Brother, brother, his body is glowing faintly like you said! ”

After following Urashima Yue to the tightly sealed room, Sakura also saw the strange posture, the young man who had been sitting on the chair like a puppet emitted a very faint fluorescent light, and fortunately the room was very dark, so she could faintly see it.

"It seems that it will take a while for the shadow to wake up completely, Yue, are those medicinal herbs prepared for you before?"

Sakura squinted her eyes slightly, silently pinched the time in her heart, and roughly guessed that when the sun completely sank and the moon rose, these insects that were disturbed by the human body would wake up completely.

Although this vision did not appear after complete nightfall, this deviation was also expected, and in the previous time, Yinggu had specifically instructed this in his letter to her, and it was likely to be the time to turn into "fireflies" at dusk, evening, or early morning and dawn......

"Well, it's been prepared for a long time, it's prepared every morning, it's all cold there according to your instructions, I'll go get it right away!"

When Urashima heard Sakura's words, she immediately answered and ran out of the room, and soon after, with a porcelain urn and a night, walked quickly into the room, and put these things on the table beside her.

"When it gets completely dark, the fluorescent light on his body should be the heaviest, at that time, I will let you give him medicine first, not too much, two bowls are enough, it is best to pour it directly, his current body should be suppressed to a certain extent by the shadow."

Sakura said to Urashima Moon as she took out her turquoise wine cup, and with her will, the golden lustrous fountain began to gush out until it overflowed, and then, not at all gentle, tilted Urashima Tai's head up, pinched out his chin, and made him open his mouth, and most of the light wine was poured into it.

In this case, it can also prevent the man's meager vitality from being absorbed by the shadow, and the light wine can be regarded as the maximum guarantee of the vitality of Urashimatai at such a time.

The light of the moon sprinkled on the earth at some point, and if you turned around, you might be able to see the faint stars in the sky through the crack in the doorway, and it was at this time that the light green light became extremely dazzling, and even illuminated the whole room.

"It's now!"

Sakura reminded Urashima Yue, and directly when Urashima Yue was feeding Urashima Tai medicine, she raised the young man's hand, and on the wrists of his two hands, she avoided the arteries and cut two very shallow, but very long wounds, which can ensure that the blood flows out very slowly without any great danger.

What emanated from the wound was not red blood, but a stream of green fluorescent light, which was dispersed into the air, as if it had come to life, and flew out as if it had turned into a point of light, directly opening the closed window, as if the fluorescent light drawn by the moonlight began to flutter in an orderly manner.

More and more, soon, almost everywhere in sight was filled with this fluorescent light, and Sakura also at this time, dipped two fingers in the remaining light wine in the dipping saucer, and pulled it on the wounds on Urashimatai's arms, and the wounds healed quickly, however, his body was still emitting fluorescent light, but it was becoming faint visible to the naked eye, and his complexion became very pale.

Pouring the rest of the light wine into Urashima Tai's mouth in one go, Sakura also stopped, and when she turned around, the light green fluorescent light had already converged into a galaxy, turned into a stream, and slowly flowed out of the open window.

"Is this the 'worm'?"

Looking at this scene in a daze, Urashima Moon asked with doubts for a while, but there was no need for any person to ask, not only Sakura and this girl, but also the people in the entire village also saw the stream of light floating towards the sky, towards the mountain, and towards the forest.

A little glimmer of light converged into a belt of fireflies, flowing in the sky incomparably gorgeous, even more dazzling than the silver moon and the stars, swaying with the light of life burning, attracting the rebirth of the wheel, this color is incomparably beautiful......

"Ah...... Ah, the moon ......"

The slight call aroused the young girl, who was sluggish because of all this, and when she heard the weak voice, with tears in her eyes, she turned her head, and saw the young man, with his weak but bright glasses, she cried out at once, and then hugged her......
