Chapter 47: White Bones
The sea at night, very windy.
The wind is blowing from east to west.
Mars could hear the wind outside, and he was awakened by the noise.
By this time, Lawrence had already come to his senses.
"Mars, you fall asleep first, I'll take a look. ”
"Father, take the torch!"
Mars wakes up, then turns on the lights in the stone house, and the stone house brightens.
Then he brought out a torch, which was intended to be used at night, so it was the right time.
At the end of the torch, Mars also made a windproof glass cover very delicately.
This is definitely the most luxurious version of the torch.
The torch was lit first, and then Mars began to increase the speed of the jet, so that the torch began to burn violently, and the flame became larger and brighter.
"Father, if you hold it up, you can see the sea. ”
Mars handed the torch to Lawrence, who took it in his hand and went out.
Today's sea breeze is different from usual.
Because it is blowing in the wrong direction, the wind speed is also different.
Otherwise, Lawrence would not have gone outside at this time, because it was so normal for the sea to be windy.
Mars understands this, and that's why he gets up.
Instead of really lying still as his father said.
Lawrence didn't say anything more, and he walked out.
The wind outside was very strong and strong, and Mars and Lawrence walked very slowly, and if the torches did not have this glass cover, I am afraid that they would soon be extinguished.
Now, it's brave enough to light up the front.
The wind was so strong that there was no way to speak at this time, so Mars followed his father, watching as he went, he didn't speak, and he didn't move.
The outer periphery of the central island is a number of reefs, and within a distance of 50 meters between the reef group and the central island, except for the shallows made of sand due south, the other three directions are seawater.
Of course, the water in these three directions is not very deep, because under the water is the reef, and they are working hard to slowly get bigger and higher little by little.
So when the moving islands sail eastward, everything in the water will be collected in the shallow waters of these reefs and central islands.
So at this time, Lawrence walked ahead and was soon able to see what was going on in these waters.
Mars and Lawrence continued on, coming out of the south, then little by little to the west, then to the north, and finally to the east.
It didn't take a few steps from the east side before Lawrence stopped.
"There's something in the water!"
Mars leaned in behind Lawrence, and said with his eyes half-squinted as the wind was blowing towards him.
But what he said, no one heard, and was carried far away by the roaring sea breeze.
The height of the sea is about three meters now, but the height of the waves is more than one meter, and the black thing that can be seen is being quickly carried by the waves.
In addition, the moving island is moving forward, so it doesn't take a few seconds to see clearly.
"Horses... You... This...... Let...... Island... Stop!"
"Good ......"
Lawrence turned his head and shouted at Mars, who was very close.
Because it was close enough and louder, Mars heard it.
The moment he heard it, he didn't finish his answer, and then the moving island began to slowly stop.
Mars didn't know what was inside the sea, because it was so far away that he couldn't see the light of the torch clearly, but he could only see that it was a large mass.
When the moving island stopped, Mars and Lawrence made their way to the waterfront area, which was just a stone staircase going down, and Mars made a makeshift handrail for safety.
Now the height of the waves is close to two meters, and Mars and Lawrence have only gone down by less than a meter, and they will not continue down.
The drifting thing was soon seen by Mars and Lawrence.
They rise and fall with the waves.
"Is it a bone?"
Mars's eyes began to widen as he saw bones, and they were human.
Although Mars had never seen the bones of a real human, he had taken biology classes, so he had seen the bones of plaster.
Although this thing is not as white as plaster, its outline is recognizable to Mars, and the most striking thing is that the bones are connected by flesh and bone.
This may have been eaten by other creatures.
Mars thought of this for a moment, and felt his body tremble.
Before, Mars had thought he would be able to fight the humans who dared to invade his home, but now, his heart was really shaking.
It was the first time he had seen something so frightening.
"Don't be afraid!"
Lawrence's big hand grabbed Mars's arm at this time, and a deep voice was heard at this time.
All of a sudden, Mars became sober, and his eyes looked at his father lightly.
Mars nodded, then looked over again.
Sometimes, it's easy to make a person brave, like now, when his father is by his side, and Mars dares to stand here.
There were only a few parts of the white bones, and the skull had long since fallen somewhere, leaving behind the sternum and part of the leg bones, and then a pair of arms tugging at the huge floating object tightly.
This thing, Mars doesn't see anything at the moment.
It can be seen that it should be the carrying used by the dead man to drift at that time.
It's just a pity that his luck was so bad that he didn't climb up when danger came, so that he still dragged this thing to death.
The thing was carried up and down by the waves, but it hit the stone wall of the central island, so it collided here.
Mars watched it over and over again.
It's so close, you might hit your instep at any time.
At this moment, Lawrence had already half entered the sea, and the torch was handed to Mars, and he wanted to get closer, the purpose was very obvious, that is, the huge floating object that the white bone was still grasping.
These things are not only loads that can keep you floating in the sea and help you save effort, but they are also storage items, because you can't just drift on the sea without anything.
Lawrence's behavior is normal on the sea, just like the paper bag that Mars picked up.
When a person dies, he becomes an ownerless, and when he is thrown into the sea, he becomes an ownerless.
It can keep the humans living in this world alive.
Mars wouldn't say anything, the torch was completely in his hands, although he hadn't overcome the fear in his heart and started directly, but Mars was still able to use the torch to help his father light it.
Everything will try to change, try to make yourself stronger.
