East China Sea, Andrik Island, Orange Town.

The twilight is blurred, and the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the sea, as if it is covered with a golden veil, and everything on the seaside is like a dream.

At this time, the people of the island also returned to their homes one after another after a busy day's work.

This is a small town, a total of more than 100 households, although there are occasionally some small episodes, but most of the time, it is peaceful and peaceful, and life, in this ordinary day, slowly passes.

Andric Island is high in the north and low in the south, and in the northernmost part is a crystal clear half-moon lake, surrounded by dense forests, which is quite tranquil, and a stream winds its way down from the north to the south, through the island, and finally into the sea.

……………

Somewhere at the southern end of the creek, the scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful, and the stream is gurgling.

Although the twilight was getting deeper and deeper, it was still possible to see a few small figures surrounding the shore, all of whom seemed to be seven or eight half-grown children, bending over and looking at the water in front of them with a curious expression.

After a few minutes, there was still no movement on the creek except for the clear sound of water in my ears.

At this time, one of the freckle-covered brown-haired boys sniffled, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Hey, I said, that guy has been sneaking in for so long and hasn't come out yet, could it be that he is drowning?" ”

"Roy, don't talk nonsense."

When a thin boy in suspenders heard this, he pushed the black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said calmly: "Don't you know the water nature of Brother Xia Nuo, just this little time, for Big Brother, what is it." ”

His name is Anderson, he is the only son of the mayor of the town, he has always been the leader among children of the same age, and his prestige is extremely high.

"That's it, don't talk about Brother Xia Nuo, even if it's me, I can hold my breath for so long." Another chubby little boy nodded in agreement, glanced at a dark shadow faintly visible in the depths of the stream, and said with a smile:

"Besides, Roy, it's just a stream, and you think it's the sea, how can anyone be stupid enough to drown here."

"That's right."

The freckled boy named Roy scratched the back of his head a little depressedly, and then as if he remembered something, he snorted and said, "But Xia Nuo, this bastard, last time I actually beat me for stealing his grilled fish, I couldn't walk for three days, hum, this kind of violent maniac, I think I might as well drown here." ”

"Cut, it's not because you're too stupid that you actually fell asleep at his house after eating, otherwise, with Brother Xia Nuo's temperament, he wouldn't bother to care about you."

The little fat man glanced at him with some disdain, then patted his stomach and said with a smile: "However, who made Brother Xia Nuo's grilled fish so delicious, just like me, I have actually eaten it a few times, and I ran away after eating, and I have never seen Brother Xia Nuo ask me to settle accounts." ”

"Ah...... Speaking of which, the taste is indeed good......" Unexpectedly, Anderson, who has always been old and steady, also raised his eyebrows and said a word at this time, with a hint of aftertaste on his face.

"Huh? Even Anderson, you are going to secretly ......" The little fat man was really shocked, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was just about to complain about something, but suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and looked at Roy's face with some expectation, trying to find some more depressed expressions from it to let himself gloat.

However, as soon as he raised his eyes, he only saw Roy's eyes wide, pointing behind him in horror, his mouth trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

"Roy, what's wrong with you?"

The little fat man looked at him with a puzzled face, and was full of doubts, but suddenly saw that Anderson next to him also sighed lightly, and stood up with a snort, also showing a look of disbelief.

"Floating...... Floated up......"

Roy stammered a few words at last, the little fat man was stunned, and finally came to his senses, and suddenly looked back, but just in time to see that under the sparkling water, a black shadow was getting closer and closer, and gradually rising at a speed that was recognizable to the naked eye.

Eventually, a bare back surfaced, and it appeared in front of several boys so stiffly.

"Brother Xiano?"

"This ...... Lie! ”

"How...... How could it be ......"

…………

In an instant, the faces of the three little boys changed greatly, Anderson and the little fat man looked at each other, almost without the slightest hesitation, and at the same time shook his shoes, jumped up, and plunged into the stream, while Roy hesitated for a while, suddenly inhaled the snot, and also gritted his teeth and jumped into the stream to swim to the middle.

The stream was only three or four meters wide, and it was in front of it in a blink of an eye.

"Summer ...... Big Brother Xia Nuo......"

Looking at the figure in front of him who was still motionless, the little fat man's anxious tears were about to fall, Roy was also frightened for a while, but fortunately, Anderson next to him was still calm, and shouted angrily with a calm face: "What are you panicking, Bill, Roy!" The three of us will work together, first carry the eldest brother to the shore, and then send someone to the town to find Dr. Maria, as long as the action is fast, it is still too late! ”

"Hmm!"

Anderson is the backbone, as soon as these words came out, the two little boys nodded hurriedly, and then under Anderson's command, they stretched out their hands together, wanting to exert force from both sides to set up the people on the water.

Who knows, the moment their little hands touched the man's back, a sudden change occurred!

Crash!

I only heard the sound of the waves, the water surface of the broken silver splashed, raised high, and then, in the frightened eyes of several little boys, the figure that was originally floating motionless on the surface of the water, like a silver fish out of the water, suddenly jumped out, stretched out in the bath of the setting sun, and then the strength of the legs burst out, the body turned, "bang", and landed steadily on the ground by the stream.

In the afterglow of the sunset, a topless and long black-haired boy appeared in front of them.

"This ...... What's going on......"

Roy looked at the scene in front of him stupidly, and his snot was uncontrollable and flowing.

"Hey......

The black-haired boy brushed off his wet bangs, revealing a delicate and clean face, his eyes were as clear as water, and he looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, which was extremely inconsistent with his sturdy physique.

He looked at the few dumbfounded friends in the water, grinned, and showed a smile that was extremely badly beaten:

"Hey, stinky boys, I heard what you said, if you dare to steal my fish to eat, don't blame me for cleaning you up, how is it, how does it feel to be soaked in water?"
