Chapter 10: The Coming of the Blood Sun (Part II)
The blood sun and blood rain lasted for a full day before they gradually dissipated, and everything returned to normal, and Dumb was always sullen all day, not even in the mood to practice magic. I don't know why, but his heart was always beating so fast, as if something had happened. The blood sun and the blood rain disappeared, and Owen came to his senses from his meditation, and after a full day of fighting against the forces of evil, he looked extremely tired.
"Uncle, are you done meditating?" Dumb watched as a somewhat pale Owen walked out of the room.
Owen nodded, and said with a lingering feeling: "What a strong evil spirit! It seems that the legendary catastrophe is indeed a real thing! ”
Dumb apparently didn't understand Owen's words, and said, "Uncle Hill came here today, and I told him that you were sick and resting. Uncle Hill said that none of the fishermen today have gone out to sea to fish. I wanted to ask if you knew what was going on. ”
Owen said, "Okay, let's eat something first, and after eating, you can meditate at home by yourself, and I'll go to your Uncle Schill's house." ”
Dumb nodded obediently and said, "Okay, let's eat." The two of them had a casual meal, and Owen went out, while Dumb stayed at home and began to meditate.
This sudden change in the weather made the whole continent panic, some people were happy, some people were worried, but no one could say what was going on with this sudden bloody day. It took several months for this change to subside. The four countries on the mainland have continued to implement some policies to appease the people, but the Holy See has never given any explanation on this matter, and for a while, voices of dissatisfaction with the Church have quietly arisen. It wasn't until after a year-long turmoil in people's hearts that the effects of the bloody day and the bloody rain completely disappeared, but on the mainland, there was a strange atmosphere.
In May 990 of the sacred calendar, Dumb has been in Shitang Town for a year and two months.
"Dumb brother, you're a lot taller than when you first arrived."
Dumb, who was already thirteen years old, looked at Xi Fei, the little girl in front of him who was two years younger than him, and smiled: "Really? I've been eating a lot lately, and it seems that I've grown a lot taller. "Thirteen-year-old Dumb is already about 1.6 meters tall, which is relatively tall among children of the same age. In the past year, except for letting Dumb practice life, Owen has not taught him other kung fu, and in the past year, Dumb has been able to master the language of the Suoyu Federation. Since the six races of the Federation only had different accents, Owen only taught Dumbsea Boeing's Sowee Federated language. Dumb's extraordinary efforts in cultivation, through his unremitting efforts, can now run twenty-seven weeks in one night. Life and Death have also been cultivated to the second realm. Dumb once asked Owen how far he had cultivated before he could leave, but Owen didn't answer directly, but told him that he still had a lot to learn. Now Owen has begun to teach Dumb the Holy See, which is the common language of the continent after all, and it is a course that Dumb must learn. Today, just after a language class, Dumb and Schill's granddaughter and two grandchildren were playing on the beach. Due to more than a year of cultivation, Dumb's body is much stronger than when he left Nino City, although he is not handsome, but his honest and simple atmosphere is deeply loved by the villagers here.
"Dumb brother, let's go swim in the sea, okay?" Xier's eldest grandson, eight-year-old Xi Feng, said. It's Mayday now, and for these children who live by the sea all year round, it's perfectly ready to start swimming. According to their seniority, they were supposed to be called Uncle Dumb, but because of their similar age, in the absence of adults, they were all called Brother Dumb.
Dumb's water nature is not very good, but he has swam a few times under the leadership of Xi Fei's father, hesitated, lowered his head and said, "Go ahead, I can't swim well." ”
Four-year-old Schill exclaimed, "I'm going, I'm going too." ”
Xi Fei said: "No, you are still too young, you go home quickly, swimming is for us big children to play, don't add you." ”
Xi Lei's eyes suddenly turned red, and he stretched out his chubby little hand to grab the corner of his sister's clothes, "Sister, sister, take me there." Xi Lei replied very well-behaved. ”
Dumb squatted on the ground and hugged Xi Lei into his arms, "Xi Lei, it's too dangerous in the sea, you're still young, you can't swim, and Dumb doesn't swim, let's play in the sand on the shore." ”
Xi Lei looked at Dumb and nodded, "Okay, but, Brother Dumb, you have to build a big castle for me." ”
Dumb nodded, and said to Xi Fei: "Sister Fei'er, you and Xiaofeng go, I'll accompany Lei Lei here." But don't swim too deep, it's dangerous in the water. ”
Xi Fei and his younger brother Xi Feng took off their coats, said yes, and rushed into the sea with a loud noise, they learned to swim at a young age under the leadership of their father, and the calm sea water was nothing to them. After a while, they disappeared, and Dumb and Xi Lei played with the sand on the beach, Dumb was very patient, and he was very happy to play with Xi Lei, who was only four years old.
Suddenly, a dark cloud drifted into the originally clear sky, and the sea breeze suddenly became stronger, and the calm sea set off waves and waves.
Dumb stood up and stared at the sea in the distance, but he didn't catch the figure of Xi Fei's sister and brother, and muttered: "Why haven't you come back yet, the waves are so big, it will be dangerous." ”
Xi Lei shook Dumb's hand and said, "Dumb brother, sister, they will be fine." ”
The raindrops poured down, with gusts of cold wind on the beach, Dumb walked to the beach anxiously, looked into the distance, there was still no Xi Fei and them, he turned his head and said to Xi Lei: "Lei Lei, it's raining, you go home first, tell your grandfather, let them come over quickly, Sister Fei'er and Xiaofeng haven't come back yet." I'm waiting here. ”
Si Lei nodded, turned and ran towards the town. The wind is stronger, the waves are higher, but Xi Fei and Xi Feng are still nowhere to be seen, they are all good friends of Dumb, Dumb has already regarded them as his own family in his heart, he anxiously walked to the beach, and let the sea water wet his trousers.
No, I can't wait any longer, if something happens to Xi Fei and Xi Feng, how can I explain it to Uncle Xier! Thinking of this, Dumb took off his coat and threw it aside, and quickly plunged into the sea. Although his swimming skills are not very good, but his cultivation makes his body very strong, adjusting his breathing, constantly fighting in the waves, after a while, he has been carried into the depths of the sea by the waves, and the shore has become a straight line blurred, he swims while constantly shouting the names of Xi Fei and Xi Feng. However, his voice has been completely covered by the waves, and how can he call people in this endless water. Until now, he still didn't realize that he was in danger.
As soon as they entered the house, they met Sier, who was rushing back to the sea, and rushed to the beach without resting.
"Dad, look, aren't those brothers and sisters?" Sure enough, Xi Fei and Xi Feng had just walked out of the sea onto the beach.
Xi Fei also saw them, ran over excitedly, and shouted, "Dad, second uncle, third uncle, why are you here?" ”
Xi Fei's father said in a deep voice: "You are too bold, you dare to swim in the sea with such a big wave, what if you let the sea sweep away?" ”
Xi Fei stuck out his tongue, took his father's hand, and said coquettishly: "Dad, no, Brother Feng and I are so good at water, how can there be anything?" It's so fun to play in the waves! It's just that it's a bit hard to swim back. He turned to his little brother and asked, "Lei Lei, what about dumb brother, aren't you with him?" ”
Xi Lei looked at his father Xi Bai, and said, "Isn't Brother Dumb waiting for you on the shore?" Why didn't you see him? ”
Xi Zhong looked at his two brothers and said, "Everyone look for it, Dumb will definitely not leave Fei'er and Feng'er to go back first, he should be nearby." Although he said this, he felt a little ominous in his heart, the beach was so flat and there was no cover, if Ah Dumb was there, they should be able to see it at a glance.
Xi Feng suddenly said: "Dad, uncle, third uncle, you see, isn't this the coat of a dumb brother?" ”
Xi Zhong, Xi Fa, and Xi Bai ran closer, and sure enough, Dumb's coat was on the beach, completely wet by the rain. The three of them looked at each other, and the color changed in the middle of the banquet and said, "It's not good, Dumb must have gone to the sea to find you." It's broken, his water is not good, I'm afraid it will be difficult to swim back. Third, you go and inform Uncle Owen, old two, let's go to the sea to find it. ”
At this time, Dumb could no longer see the shore, under the dim dark clouds, the waves kept beating his body, wiping the seawater on his face, Dumb looked around anxiously, "Fei'er, Xiaofeng, where are you!" What he was thinking about now was still the safety of Xi Fei and Xi Feng, and a big wave came over, which suddenly made Dumb take a sip of salty seawater, and the bitter taste made him uncomfortable. The physical strength is disappearing little by little, and the crisis gradually descends on Dumb.
Dumb, who was floating on the surface of the sea, suddenly felt a huge pain under his feet, as if something had pierced his leg, and screamed in pain, Dumb bent down and touched a slippery body, which had a spike on the slippery body, which had been deeply pierced into the muscles of his thigh, and bright red blood rose from the sea water around his body. Dumb grabbed the slippery body with both hands and pulled it out of the body with force, completely paralyzing his entire right leg, and blood continued to flow out. Dumb gasped, and the raw true qi in his body automatically transferred to the wound site, sealing the blood veins there, and not letting him continue to bleed. The sea water continued to stimulate the wound, and Ah Dull almost fainted in pain.
The slippery body in his hand suddenly writhed violently, as if he wanted to break free of Dumb's hands, Dumb raised the body in front of him, it turned out to be a two-foot-long golden strange fish, its whole body flashed with golden light and the fish Dumb had seen before was not only different in color, but also had an extra golden pointed beak, just in the mouth as long as the body pierced Dumb's thigh.
Dumb grabbed the mouth of the strange fish with one hand, grabbed its tail with the other hand, and floated on the surface of the sea completely by the buoyancy of the seawater, due to a lot of blood loss, the feeling of dizziness kept coming, and one wave after another still slapped his body endlessly, the strange fish struggled several times, but could not break free from Dumb's powerful hands.
Dumb and said to the strange fish: "You, why are you stabbing me, it hurts!" The strange fish writhed twice, the sea water on its body flowed through its eyelids, as if it was crying, and the two strange eyes that shimmered with golden light looked at Dumb sadly, as if begging him to let himself go.
Dumb's heart softened, and said, "I'll let you go, but don't stab me anymore, and you can't stab others in the future." As he spoke, he threw the strange fish into the sea, and the golden mangs flashed a few times in the sea, and the strange fish disappeared.
Dumb carefully touched the wound on his leg that had stopped bleeding, and continued to shout, "Fei'er, Xiaofeng, where are you, I'm Dumb!" After only a few shouts, his voice was already hoarse, and under the continuous impact of the waves, Dumb's consciousness became more and more blurred.
Just when Dumb was about to faint, the golden light flashed, and the golden strange fish came back, and it took a long mouth to pout Dumb's body, and there was something in its mouth.
Dumb wiped a handful of seawater from his face, gasped and asked, "Is it for me?" ”
The strange fish nodded as if he understood. Dumb took off the thing on the mouth of the strange fish, it turned out to be a white jade ring, on the surface, there was nothing out of the ordinary, Dumb blinked his hazy eyes, and reluctantly put the ring on his left index finger, a giant * hit, and immediately knocked him unconscious.
On the shore, under the leadership of Xi Bai, Owen anxiously rushed to the beach where Dumb went into the water, the surging giant * continued to impact the sand on the shore, Xi Fei, Xi Feng and Xi Lei stood on the shore, Xi Fei and Xi Feng obviously knew that they were in trouble, lowered their heads and kept silent, Owen asked eagerly: "Fei'er, have your father and your second uncle found Dumb?" ”
