Chapter 1 Strange Sea Turtles
On the beach under the scorching sun, the sand is hot, and the fish-scale waters are undulating and rippling, reflecting a ray of sunlight from time to time.
Thousands of men, women and children of all ages play on the beach, and when it's too hot, women and children in swimsuits toss around in shallow water in various types of life rings, while men swim farther away.
Zhou Xuan was lying lazily on the folding chair with half-squinted eyes, there were many dazzling women, exposed up and down, except for the two balls on his chest and the triangle under his crotch, I have to say that he was full of eyes.
However, no matter how beautiful a woman is and how attractive her figure is, it is still someone else.
Zhou Xuan is twenty-six years old this year, his hometown is Danjiangkou, Shiyan City, Hubei, after graduating from high school, he fell a few points behind Sun Shan, and because his family was not rich, he simply went south to become a member of the million workers.
From the age of eighteen to twenty-six, in addition to earning back the expenses of food, clothing and housing, the eight-year part-time job only saved a pitiful 5,000 yuan in the bank, and life was quite a failure for him.
Naturally, the word girlfriend is also very distant to Zhou Xuan, to say that although Zhou Xuan's appearance cannot be compared with Pan An and Song Yu, his face is still quite attractive, and with a height of one meter seven or eight, he can be called a talent, but most of the girls now look at their purses and do not look at their faces, let alone Zhou Xuan, who is shy in his pocket.
Zhou Xuan's current job is a lifeguard plus a substitute diving instructor, this job is still introduced by a friend, just three months, this job is mainly due to Zhou Xuan's own very good swimming and diving skills, especially diving skills, the average person with good water diving can have a minute and a half is already good, this also has to divide the depth of the water.
People who don't understand still think that diving, the depth of the water is the same, in fact, there is no pressure in the shallow water, the chest cavity of the diver is compressed, and the natural dive is long, if the water depth exceeds a certain level, the pressure is great, and the pressure of the chest cavity is strong, then the difficulty of diving is greater, so it is basically the world's top to dive for two minutes in the water at a depth of more than ten meters.
Diving in deep water relies on the lung vitality of the chest cavity, for example, some singers with super lung strength can sing for three minutes in one breath, and some can hold their breath for three minutes, but these are on land, in the absence of pressure, and naturally incomparable to in deep water.
Zhou Xuan can dive in ten meters of water for three minutes, and his real strength can reach four minutes, of course, he doesn't want to be too shocking.
When Zhou Xuan was a child, he practiced a little qi mantra with an old Taoist priest in Wudang Mountain, but it was not martial arts.
Chongkou is a seaside resort, there are more than 20 seaside lifeguards like Zhou Xuan in the resort, but basically nothing happens, the tourists who go into the water basically know the water, and those who don't know the water have a life-saving ring, and they only enjoy it in the shallow water.
Zhou Xuan really wants to be a formal diving instructor, first, he likes this job, and secondly, the salary is several times higher than that of their lifeguards, but the diving instructor must be qualified for a certificate, this game is not easy to get, and it can only be done with money, which is not something Zhou Xuan can get, the only thing is that he has good water nature.
When it was time to hand over the shift, as soon as the colleague who replaced Zhou Xuan arrived, Zhou Xuan smiled, it was too hot, and he had long wanted to dive in the water, but he was not allowed to leave his post casually during working hours, so it was different at this time.
Zhou Xuan slowly walked into the water, and the sea water gradually submerged from his feet to his thighs, all the way to his abdomen and head, until he completely sank into the seawater, and the water comfortably relieved the skin burned by the sun's rays.
Zhou Xuan only went to the farther deep water, during which several divers were diving with tourists, they were one-on-one, but the tourists paid were not cheap, diving equipment plus the cost of the instructor, a dive, just ten minutes to spend hundreds of yuan.
Zhou Xuan knew that in addition to not having a diving qualification certificate, when it came to diving skills and abilities, those coaches were not at the same level as him.
After diving more than ten meters away, it is already about 20 meters deep in Haiti, and those diving instructors do not bring tourists to this area, after all, tourists are not professional, and safety is the most important.
Zhou Xuan cruised beside some beautiful small sea fish, and there were some shallow corals on the bottom of the sea, which may have been very damaged in recent years, and the big corals could not be seen.
Zhou Xuan estimated that he dived for about three minutes, and then he floated to the surface of the sea for ventilation, this is not close to the shallow beach, most tourists will not swim so far, and there are a few good swimmers who swim farther, but they don't notice him.
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath and dived into the deep water, and in the rippling water, he suddenly saw a turtle passing in front of him.
Zhou Xuan swiped his arm and floated over to take a closer look, this turtle was very strange, with two pairs of forehead scales on the top of its head and a hooked upper jaw. The cuticular plates on the back were tiled, smooth on the surface, with brown and yellowish patterns, and the limbs were flippered, but the limbs and head were golden, as if he had seen pure copper.
The reason why I say copper is that Zhou Xuan has only seen copper, and gold has been seen in gold stores except in the gold store, but it is all seen from a distance through the glass and has never been touched.
This turtle looks like two hawksbill turtles raised in the super large pool in the resort, the style and pattern are similar, but the color of the limbs and head is different, I have never seen a golden yellow, and this turtle is far larger than the two raised in the pool, this one is at least more than a meter long.
According to the pool keeper, hawksbill turtles generally only appear in deep water, and they are basically never seen in the waters of this beach, could this thing be the hawksbill turtle he said?
Zhou Xuan was curious and followed a little closer, the turtle seemed to sense the danger, and immediately crawled to the left, don't look at the turtle crawling slower than a snail on land, but in the water they are not slow at all, their flippers are fanning, almost swimming faster than Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan found it interesting and followed closely, and the turtle swam to the small hole in a small rock wall in front of him and got in.
Zhou Xuan swam to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, the hole didn't seem to be deep, only Mi Xu, horizontal and vertical, and the turtle's two bean eyes stared at him.
Zhou Xuan thought it was funny, this guy was a little hostile to him, and saw that the turtle was lying on a yellow stone that was not much bigger than a palm and did not move, and there was a small round thing on the side of the stone, the light was not very good, and it was not very clear, it looked like a small copper coin.
Zhou Xuan's heart moved, and he wanted to take this thing back and take a look!
Thinking about it, he put his left hand into the hole to get it, who knew that the turtle saw Zhou Xuan stretch out his hand, and then opened his mouth and bit Zhou Xuan's index finger fiercely, Zhou Xuan suddenly had a sharp pain, and he couldn't shake it off, the turtle bit very tightly, and he couldn't find the weapon in a hurry, and he didn't have anything on his body, his right hand reached in and touched the piece, but he touched the small coin-like thing for the first time, and there was no place to put it back, so he stuffed it into his mouth and held it, and then reached under the turtle and grabbed the stone, and smashed it on the black **.
The turtle seemed to loosen up, but still bit Zhou Xuan's finger, Zhou Xuan was in a hurry, and the diving time was not short, so he choked from his nose, a little depressed, and hurriedly smashed it with a stone a few more times, and the turtle finally let go.
Zhou Xuan retracted his left hand and hurriedly went upstream, worried that the turtle would chase him, and he didn't dare to throw the stones, so he floated to the surface in one breath, his hands were painful and his body was soft, Zhou Xuan didn't dare to stay, he swam to the edge of the beach with all his might, and when he stood up, he saw that his left index finger was bloody, and he seemed to see the white bones in the flesh.
Zhou Xuan was surprised and hurriedly ran back to the dormitory building, the dormitory was a room for two people, there were two shelf beds in it, and another roommate went to work, he and Zhou Xuan's working hours happened to be opposite, Zhou Xuan went up and down, and he went down last week.
Zhou Xuan threw the stone on the floor, and then spit out the things in his mouth and threw it on the ground, he didn't care about it, he quickly found gauze and wrapped his fingers, the injury was not light, and the fingers were still oozing blood after wrapping and dyed the white gauze crimson, but it was much better to wrap the gauze, and the blood did not flow out again after penetrating the gauze.
Zhou Xuan only had time to look at the things he brought back at this time, and picked up the coin-like thing with his right hand to see that it was indeed a coin, but it was not like a copper coin, because there was a hole in the middle of the copper coin, but this coin was solid, but the color was not very good-looking, and it was estimated that it might have been soaked in water for too long.
Zhou Xuan went to the bathroom again and found a toothbrush that he didn't use, dipped the coin in water and brushed it with a toothbrush a few times, and wiped off the black and green moss on the surface, but the inside was golden, the same as the stone.
There are English letters on both sides of the coin, and Zhou Xuan recognizes the English letters of ewulf, but a single letter can be recognized, and if they are connected together, they don't know what his uncle is.
On the other side is a bust of a blonde ghost, after looking at it for a long time, Zhou Xuan didn't recognize what kind of coin it was, maybe it was a foreign tourist who came here and fell into the sea.
Anyway, he didn't know it, so Zhou Xuan stuffed the coin under the pillow with his hand, and then picked up the stone with his right hand.
This stone is the size of a palm, golden yellow, just like the golden sand and stones in the mountain stream in my hometown, but the sand and stones are uneven and smooth, but this stone is extremely smooth, like those pebbles washed by water for thousands of years.
Whatever, I almost lost my life this trip, and if it weren't for this stone, it's really hard to say what would have happened.
Zhou Xuan swam too hard, he bled a lot, he was tired, and he didn't take off his shoes, so he fell on the bed sideways, his left hand hurt, and there was no place to put it, and he was afraid that the blood would stain the sheets, so he simply took the stone and put his left hand up.
He fell asleep in a daze, but at this time, Zhou Xuan didn't see it and didn't know that when the blood on his left hand touched the golden stone, the stone suddenly glowed with a more dazzling golden light, and then sucked the blood on his fingers more quickly, and the golden light became more and more abundant.
Zhou Xuan was so tired that he felt a little pain in his fingers in his sleep, but he still had some memories in his mind: his hand was injured, the pain was normal, don't get blood stains on the bed!
Zhou Xuan endured the pain half-asleep and half-awakened, the stone seemed to have sucked enough blood, and then the golden light drilled into the wound along his fingers, and the yellow light weakened in circles until the last trace, and finally the yellow light disappeared and returned to the original state of the stone, but the golden yellow turned black.
Zhou Xuan, at this time, did not have any pain, and entered the dream comfortably.
