Chapter Seventy-Eight: A First Exploration of the Other Shore Island
Jun Chi tethered the boat to the dock of the other side of the island, Xiao Yao, Shen Yan and the dark night, slowly walked off the boat one after another, and set foot on this place they had never reached, and it was also a place full of mysteries, unknown truths and hidden secrets.
Shen Yan and the others took a deep breath of the air on the island, and then, a folk song sung by the immature voices of many children, came to greet the distinguished guests from afar: "The cherry blossoms are flying, the feathers of the thorny bird are dyed red by bright red, in the mournful singing, it pierces its thin body with flower branches, my soul is pulled by the flight of the thorn bird, I dance wildly with my bloody ankles, it says that it will take me to the most beautiful blood-colored garden because in this way, I can recall your love, because in this way, we can reach the other side of happiness and stay together."
I laughed, I cried, for only the soul of the thorn could not save my love, so I laughed and let my blood flow from the wound and fill the bed of roses under me, and I let the silver thread pass through my soul and give it to Satan's control, and on the altar of the three lives, I transformed into the spirit of the night dance, Satan said, A man's sacrifice cannot bring back anyone's love, and he said, as long as I collect all my souls, I can stay with you, dear ones, for the sake of our death, dear people, I have no choice but to deprive you of your lives, Please don't blame me for my cruelty, I just want my love to last forever. ”
As soon as she heard this ballad, Xiao Yao felt the hairs on her body suddenly stand up, and she felt a very cold breath, slowly climbing up from behind her back.
Xiao Yao seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and quickly ran towards the location of the group of children. In front of me, more than a dozen children held hands, wore thin white clothes, and happily sang in circles.
Due to Xiao Yao's sudden intrusion, the children were obviously frightened by the strangers from outside, and they quickly lowered their hands, and then suddenly dispersed like a violent wind.
Seeing that the 10 or so children in front of her suddenly disappeared, Xiao Yao suddenly felt that her heart was very uncomfortable, she just stood in place in a daze, until Shen Yan came over and patted her shoulder, Xiao Yao came back to her senses.
Seeing Shen Yan, Xiao Yao said softly: "Those children are really a little strange. ”
"Are you saying they're wearing white clothes?" At this moment, Junchi's voice interjected.
"Well, it's a strange place to be." Xiao Yao replied.
"You don't know this, but in our world, white is the most sacred and purest color, and it is the color that is blessed by the gods.
Until the age of 16, children can only wear white clothes, because we have a saying here that children who wear white clothes are protected by the gods, and such children are generally healthy, intelligent and lively, and do not get sick or anything at every turn. Junchi explained.
"I see." Shen Yan suddenly realized, and then, his eyes looked at Junchi, "Junchi, I have to thank you for the reason for visiting this island this time, however, we still have something to trouble you, you see, we will definitely stay on the island for a long time, can you take us to find a place to live first?" ”
"That's it! Why don't you go to my house? My house is still quite big, there are 3 floors up and down, I'm not married, my parents are gone, I live alone in such a big house, it feels pretty scary, or you should come to accompany me? Junchi suddenly invited warmly.
"What's so embarrassing?" Shen Yan hurriedly shirked.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's very convenient, if you're really embarrassed, how about paying me for as long as you live, just as my house is a hotel?" Junchi smiled.
Dare to love, this kid still wants to make some more money with us! Looking at Junchi's reaction, Styx suddenly knew it.
He glanced at Junchi with a little disdain, but then laughed a few times, and generously put his hand on Junchi's shoulder: "Good brother, you said so, so I will trouble you." ”
"Good! Good! Junchi laughed a few times, and then led the way in front of himself.
……
Along the way, the residents of the other side of the island, whether they were doing laundry and cooking, chatting and drinking tea, or taking a leisurely walk, would suddenly stop and stare at Xiao Yao and the faces of several people strangely, and they stared at them for several minutes.
And the eyes of those people made Xiao Yao feel very uncomfortable, so she unconsciously moved closer to Shen Yan, and even held Shen Yan's hand, and unconsciously increased her strength.
"Don't care, there are very few outsiders on our island who will come, usually just a few of us, and almost all know each other, so when they see you outsiders, they will definitely take a few more glances unconsciously, it's okay." Junchi comforted.
All right! Hearing Junchi say this, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, however, at this moment, a burst of mourning music suddenly reached Xiao Yao's ears from far to near.
With the prestige, Xiao Yao saw almost 8 men wearing black robes and black pointed hats, carrying a wooden coffin, scattering silver paper money in their hands in the mourning music, walking towards Xiao Yao step by step.
Just when the coffin was under Xiao Yao's nose, Xiao Yao suddenly saw the coffin that was being carried suddenly vibrated violently, and then the hand that had been black and thin with corpse spots slowly hung down from the coffin, Xiao Yao was startled, and the whole person shuddered suddenly, and then, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, at that moment, Xiao Yao suddenly felt that she seemed to have kicked something.
At the moment when Xiao Yao opened her eyes and lowered her head, she saw a woman with a wrinkled face and paper money in her hand, staring at her viciously, and at her feet, a white candle fell to the ground, and the fire on the white candle had long been extinguished.
Did you kick the candle just now? Xiao Yao was about to say sorry to the old man, but unexpectedly, Jun Chi, who didn't know when he was already in front of him, suddenly turned around and urged them.
Xiao Yao hurriedly responded, then pulled Shen Yan and ran a few steps quickly, and when he almost ran behind Jun Chi, Xiao Yao turned around.
The group of mourners had also gradually walked away, and the coffin they were carrying had not been opened at all, it seemed that he had just hallucinated again, thinking of this, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
A cold wind blew, Xiao Yao tightened her clothes, and at this moment, Jun Chi turned back with a smile: "My house has arrived." ”
