Chapter 8: The Sea Is Coming
After packing up the surgical instruments, she decided to leave immediately, repeatedly delayed, the time was really not early, if it was too late, she had to go down the mountain first, and wait for tomorrow to continue exploring Baihu Mountain.
She is very satisfied with the fact that the used surgical instruments will be automatically sterilized as soon as they are put back into the medical kit, and there is no need for Yingle to bother about this.
"Roar!" As soon as Yingle took a step, the yellow tiger rushed over, blocking her way, the huge tiger's two front paws bent slightly at her, and then stretched out his tongue and licked Yingle's palm, what is this going to do, Yingle looked at the white tiger suspiciously and asked, but the white tiger's huge tiger head nodded affirmatively at this time, as if to say to her, "Don't be afraid, rhubarb won't hurt you." ”
After the rhubarb confessed to the master, he rushed out of the cave with Yingle, and the cave was quickly left behind, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated backwards, which felt no slower than the bus running on the highway.
"Rhubarb, do you know where I'm going?" Along the way, Yingle constantly instructed the Yellow Tiger to adjust the direction, always heading straight towards the depths of the White Tiger Mountain, with the rhubarb as a means of transportation, her speed was greatly improved, the vast mountains were left behind, the rugged and steep peaks were like walking flat under the feet of the Yellow Tiger, as the sun faded a little bit warm, Yingle heard the sound of the sea water lapping against the cliff.
"It's the sea, and the end of Baihu Mountain is actually connected to the ocean!" Such a discovery made Yingle so excited that his soul trembled, what does the ocean represent, it represents endless treasures, in addition to delicious seafood, treasures hidden in the seabed, and developed transportation, with the sea can even sail away and discover another new continent.
Of course, Yingle didn't think so much at this time, she was just excited about this discovery, at the end of the rolling mountains, there was a sea that had never been discovered, if she hadn't insisted on venturing into Baihu Mountain to explore, would she be the same as the villagers who had lived in the village for generations, and would never know that the other side of the mountain turned out to be the sea.
Closer, closer, the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks became clearer and clearer, Rhubarb noticed Yingle's excitement, running faster and faster, the sea breeze carried the peculiar salty and wet smell, Yingle's clothes were blown back and bulged, and her hair was messy and fluttering, unable to concretely express her exhilarating feelings at this time.
Finally over the last mountain, rhubarb a sudden brake stopped, Yingle's body inertia fell forward, in time to hug the neck of the yellow tiger to avoid falling, the endless blue sea in front of him conquered Yingle's heart, looking into the distance, the sea is still the sea, the end of the line of sight to see the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky.
The sunset is falling little by little below the sea level, the fiery red clouds in the sky seem to be close in front of you, the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the vast sea surface to reflect the magnificent sea view, the seabirds fight the sky and soar freely, the quality of freedom and tenacity is unobstructed, and the sea can always make people instantly realize the sense of openness and tolerance.
After the excitement, Yingle gradually calmed down, the sea was close in front of her, but if she wanted to go to the beach and step on the soft sand, it was still difficult, and the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff no longer reminded her that she was standing on the top of the mountain at this time, and the sea was still under the cliff.
"Rhubarb, I want to go there, do you have a way?" Yingle pointed to the rocky beach below the cliff, the height of the cliff is not low, and because the sea water beats all year round, it is steep and slippery, and it is very easy for people to climb.
Yingle also had no choice for a while, so he asked Rhubarb for help, but in fact, he didn't have much hope in his heart. It's easy to come to the sea, don't go to the beach to find some treasures, she is not willing to go home empty-handed. But although the ideal is full, the reality is cruel, and this cliff is the kind that crosses the gap between her and the sea, the kind that cannot be crossed, and it is like this now.
"Roar!" The yellow tiger roared, carrying Yingle to run again, and came to the rightmost position on the mountain, and climbed down quickly along a curved natural arched stone bridge, Yingle felt as if she was taking a manpower down the elevator, but she was just head-down, as the white tiger crawled down a little bit, the sea was getting closer and closer to her, Yingle could clearly hear her heartbeat, I don't know if she was afraid or excited?
The stone bridge was slightly bent at the beginning, and Yingle felt that her body might roll off the tiger's back at any time, and she couldn't help but subconsciously hug the yellow tiger's neck, but fortunately, because of this slight arc, she could sit on the tiger's back smoothly and not fall into the sea.
When it came to the position close to the sea, the stone bridge was almost in a straight line, and Huang Hu's whole body went straight up and down, Yingle couldn't continue to sit on the tiger's back at all, and seemed to feel the uneasiness of the girl on his back, Huang Hu no longer crawled slowly, but chose a vertical leap and jumped directly onto a reef by the sea.
At the moment of the rhubarb jumping, Yingle hugged the neck of the yellow tiger in time, and the whole person was attached to the back of the yellow tiger, and a person and a tiger crossed a beautiful arc in the air and landed smoothly, and came to the beach that Yingle had been looking forward to for a long time.
"The sea, I'm coming!" Yingle got off the tiger's back, stood on the reef excitedly and shouted to the sea, the sea breeze wrapped her voice in the unknown distance, and reflected back to the cliff wall to bring bursts of echoes.
"Roar, roar, roar!" At the same time, Huang Hu excitedly cooperated with Yingle and roared loudly, his two front paws raised high, and his body stood upright on the reef, although he didn't know why the human girl in front of him was so happy, but it didn't prevent him from cooperating just right.
After all, he is very familiar with this place, in the past days, the family of three often came here together to chase and play with the waves, and the little tiger likes to swim in the sea water the most, and every time he comes back, he has a lot of fun.
"Rhubarb, let's go, go there!" Yingle returned to the tiger's back, and pointed to the beach in front of the rocky pile, and the yellow tiger immediately carried her over.
After crossing the pile of rocks and coming to the soft sand, Yingle kicked off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and rushed towards the sea in the direction of the sea breeze, suddenly the soles of her feet creaked, she seemed to have stepped on something hard, Yingle looked down, and saw a big mussel shell lying quietly on the beach, enjoying the beating of the sea.
"Great, Rhubarb, look, I've found something good!" There are likely to be pearls in the clam shells, especially such large clam shells, this beach is backed by cliffs, full of rocks, there are no routes and ships to pass by, the clam shells have grown to the size of an adult's palm, and no one has come to pick them up, it is really a pie from the sky and smashed on the top of her head.
Huang Hu looked at the mussel shell in the girl's hand puzzled, his eyes revealed confusion and doubt, there are many things in the sea, what is so rare, the owner is really fussed.
Seeing that the tiger ignored her, but fluttered into the water, Yingle didn't care, and continued to hunt for treasure on the beach, "Ah! There is sea urchin, which is a seafood with high nutritional value, and it is just right to bring it back to replenish the body of my younger siblings. ”
Found a few round and thorny black and purple sea urchins in a pile of reef crevices, Ying Le hurriedly put down the medicine basket on his back, pulled a few broad-leaved seaweed pads, and picked up all the sea urchins back into the bamboo basket.
