Chapter 1 First Arrival, Strange Place

I don't know how long it took, when Xiaojie regained consciousness leisurely, he felt his body shaking uncontrollably, as if he was lying on a boat. Am I dead? Why am I so light and weightless? I'm so dizzy, is this what it feels like to be dead? It's uncomfortable. With the passage of time, Xiao Jie's various senses gradually recovered, and he first smelled the gust of sea breeze blowing from all around, and the unique fishy smell could even be distinguished by Xiao Jie, who grew up in the mainland from childhood to adulthood. Xiaojie, who is not very accustomed to this taste, subconsciously wants to rub his uncomfortable nose with his body that has just regained a little consciousness. But he was shocked to find that he had no strength at all, not only that, but Xiaojie also found that he was wrapped in something like a quilt and fixed it tightly. I couldn't move, and my little bare face was stinging from the sun. This made Xiaojie feel a little uneasy.

Xiaojie struggled to open his dry eyes, and was immediately shaken by the harsh sunlight and closed his eyes. After a while, he couldn't wait to open it again, and he was now anxious to get to know the surroundings. But immediately, Xiaojie was stunned, and what caught his eye was an unobstructed blue sky, occasionally dotted with a few white clouds in the distance, and the huge sun hung in the air, exuding endless enthusiasm. It was it that made Xiao Jie's little face red, and the sound of waves crashing in his ears was also heard at this time. God knows why he didn't hear the voice in his ears just now.

Finally came back to his senses, Xiaojie began to struggle desperately and yelled. However, Xiao Jie's behavior stopped again, and his muscles stiffened, as if he wanted to see something terrible. He opened his mouth in disbelief and tentatively uttered a few syllables, and the sound that came into his ears was not the ordinary baritone he was used to, but the immature milk voice. He, a twenty-year-old young man, is now a child, no! Babies to be exact! Yes babies. After Xiaojie confirmed his situation, he had to reluctantly affirm this fact. Worse still, it didn't just become a baby, it was swaddled and fixed in a crib, lonely adrift on the sea. As far as Xiaojie's eyes could see, there was only the sea, and there was not even a reef that was rising. It can be said that there is no way to heaven and no door to the earth. This can't help but make Xiaojie despair.

After struggling to no avail, Xiaojie had no choice but to stop this senseless behavior. Countless questions rolled in the chaotic mind. I'm supposed to be dead, there's no doubt about that, but where is this? Is it the afterlife? This is the legendary Sea of Bitterness? But what about the legendary extradition of the bitter sea? Is there a sun in hell? Isn't this hell? And why did I get smaller, Xiaojie's head was about to explode. The fear and confusion of the unknown filled Xiaojie's heart.

Time passed little by little when Xiao Jie was in a daze, and before he knew it, the sky was covered with heavy dark clouds. The scorching sun was blocked behind the dark clouds. The sluggish Xiaojie realized that something was wrong at this time, and the sounds of some birds could still be heard on the sea, but now there was a dead silence, and there was an ominous smell in the wind. A bad premonition formed a dark cloud like the top of his head, and shrouded Xiaojie's heart. Xiao Jie raised his heart to his throat. "You won't be so unlucky to encounter a storm!" This thought flashed in his heart, and the silver snake flickered in the dark clouds with a 'boom' sound. "Phew, crow's mouth, that's right." Xiaojie regretted not being at the beginning, but it was too late to regret it, the wind was getting more and more urgent, and the waves were getting bigger and bigger. "The Jade Emperor, the Buddha, God bless, please, don't" But the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, or it may be that Xiaojie worships too many gods at one time, so he is retributed, and the storm is coming directly. With a thunderous 'click', like the opening song of the feast of death, the storm is officially coming.

The sky thundered and rolled, and silver-white lightning fell from the dark clouds, as if to split Xiaojie in half on the sea. The heavy rain of beans poured down, covering it in all directions. beat Xiaojie so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. The wind began to roar wildly, raising the waves on the sea surface wave after wave, Xiao Jie's body was constantly slapped high and falling by the waves, sometimes being hit in the air with nowhere to go, sometimes falling from the air to the sea, and a strong sense of weightlessness hit Xiao Jie's whole body.

Faced with the power of nature, Xiaojie cried shamelessly. There's no way not to cry! Although Xiaojie is just a newborn baby on the surface, his soul is a good young man in his twin years. But in this tiny crib pretending to be a pirate ship for roller coasters and bungee jumping, how many people can stand it. Xiaojie felt that he was the only one left in the whole world now, and a sense of helpless emptiness swept through his body. I had to cry loudly to hide the panic and loneliness deeper in my heart.

The heavy rain was still pouring, the lightning and thunder were still roaring overhead, and the boat under Xiaojie was still being thrown around on the sea. But Xiaojie's cry was already hoarse and inaudible. After playing this game of nature for an unknown amount of time, Xiaojie's whole person has reached the limit, and his psychology is about to collapse, and he only thinks about dying. But even this small wish has become a luxury. The boat seems to be guarded by some mysterious force. No matter how stormy the waves are outside, the boat is photographed in the air again and again, but there is always a thrilling time.

This situation continued, and Xiaojie fell into a trance, numb and the current storm. The boat was also shattered, after all, it was just a crib. Finally, with a big wave hitting, the boat completely fell apart, and Xiaojie was sent off for the last time. Xiao Jie, who was in mid-air, regained some consciousness slightly at this time. In the face of death, Xiao Jie seemed a little calm, after all, Xiao Jie had already died once, and it was even more uncomfortable to be in danger all the time. Xiaojie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "It's finally over, I don't know what awaits me next." The body fell, and Xiao Jie, who had been experiencing this feeling all day today, ignored it very calmly. In this countdown to life, Xiaojie even has time to enjoy the scenery of this world for the last time. In any case, he will never see it again.

This is Xiao Jie, but he found a long snake-like black shadow under the sea. "Could it be a sea monster? I never imagined that I would become food for the sea monster after I died. Xiao Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. That's it, he clearly saw that the sea monster had discovered him, and the position of the head in front of the black shadow was probably raised, and it seemed that his mouth was also just aimed at Xiaojie. Now it doesn't have to do anything, just open its mouth and enjoy a meal from heaven. However, the other party is a little anxious, and he is not willing to wait even a little time. The dark shadow beneath the surface of the sea rises rapidly. 'Bang!' The sea monster breaks through the water and rushes towards Jay surrounded by the waves. Vaguely, Xiao Jie only saw a huge head covered with scales, a grinning mouth full of sharp teeth, and two sharp horns on the top of his head. Then, there is no then. In the haze, Xiaojie heard a nice voice and didn't know what to say.

-- I -- yes -- no -- shame -- divide -- cut -- line --

"Ahem, cough, cough" hurts, my head hurts. There was a cough in a daze, and Xiaojie felt that his forehead was burning badly, and he felt chills all over his body. The surrounding temperature obviously still has the breath of summer, but Xiaojie has the illusion of lying naked on the ice and snow. A warm wind blew, but there was a cold like an ice blade that penetrated the bone marrow and the throat was still a little itchy, and I couldn't help coughing a few times again. "It's over, it's a symptom of a high fever." As Xiaojie thought, he was drenched in the rain for half a day yesterday, and he was frightened, how could his little body be tortured like this, and he suddenly fell ill, and now he can be said to be exhausted.

It was difficult to open his eyes, but this simple and effortless action was now so difficult, not only did his eyelids weigh like a thousand pounds, but his eyeballs were also uncomfortably dry, even more uncomfortable than when he had just woken up on the sea. Reluctantly, he closed his eyes, and let his eyeballs quickly recover under the moisture of the tears that began to secrete as he woke up. After a long time, he gradually felt that his eyes were no longer so uncomfortable, Xiaojie quickly opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment with joy.

It's not an underworld, it's not heaven. There were no houses, no humans, not even a trace of the activity of intelligent beings. It is a naturally formed cave with stone faces left by the current. It's unusual that the smooth walls are not covered with moss. Mosses generally prefer to grow in dark, damp places, especially caves. Xiao Jie didn't pay much attention to this detail, because his attention was all drawn to a few things in the corner, a few scales to be exact, sea blue. That's right, it's the sea monster from yesterday, their scales are the same, and Xiao Jie still remembers the appearance of the sea monster he vaguely saw yesterday. From memory, the sea monster is some kind of long serpentine creature, and this cave is oval-shaped, about two hundred meters long, and it is simply a nest tailor-made for it. Strangely, however, there was not a single debris left by wild beasts on the top of the mountain, such as leftover food scraps, dry bones, and feces. It's like cleaning a lot. Although there are many doubts, at least I can be thankful that I did not die.

Not long after, because of a high fever, Xiaojie's thoughts began to be confused, and he guessed his future in his mind. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my future was dark, and it didn't take long for me to fall into a deep sleep. For a moment, all that remained in the entire cave was Xiao Jie's rapid breathing and the sound of coughing from time to time.

"Rustle" There was a rhythmic sound of footsteps in the cave that was originally quite quiet, and the sunlight shining directly on Xiaojie from outside the cave was also blocked, casting a huge shadow. As if sensing the disappearance of warmth, Xiao Jie's body writhed uneasily. In a daze, Xiaojie felt that he was being picked up by someone. How is this possible, it must be an illusion, this world is just me, and soon I will leave this world in the form of being treated as a dinner. Hopefully, I'll find peace for the sake of feeding that monster and letting one less life die in its mouth.

Just when Xiao Jie was thinking sadly, a strand of hair fell on Xiao Jie's nose, and Xiao Jie wanted to sneeze. The originally clogged nose also smelled a refreshing aroma, not like a perfume, but more like some kind of body fragrance. The air is fresh like the creek of the prairie. Just as Xiaojie was in a dream, he poured a spicy liquid into his mouth, like ginger juice. choked Xiaojie and coughed repeatedly. Although I was still very sleepy, I could barely open my eyes. As she was held in her arms, she could only be seen wearing a dark blue robe and navy blue hair. "Saved." With such a thought, Xiaojie fell asleep with peace of mind.
