Sea Soul Chapter. Sea style (human, realistic, shaping deepening)

.

Part.1

When the sun rises, the sea shines brightly. The mist on the sea lifted and the intermittent islands emerged from the receding night. The islands, whose full name is the Tsui Australs, are the only pure land area in the south that has not been invaded by the insured.

The main island of the South Island covers an area of 1.94 square kilometers, connecting the continental part of the southern part of the Laimi Plain, and extending in the shape of a peninsula towards the Tarkodi Sea. and its only companion, the Acropolis of Khadgarh, which sits in isolation on a mountainous plateau

The western coastline is plagued by typhoons from the western seas all year round, but is separated by a steep curved mountain peak, resulting in a serious divergence of landforms on the land (islands).

The reef on the west coastline is lined with sand, and the mountain-like waves crash against each other, stirring up foamy white spray. The wind howls on the sea, and there is no hope in sight.

In contrast, the East Coastline is calm and calm, with waves meekly washing over the soft sand. When the sun shines in the sky, the shadows of the tall coconut trees stretch to the blue seaweeds gently swaying, bubbles to the surface of the sea, and faintly red groupers are hiding and swimming in them.

But this seemingly calm and beautiful coast also hides many unexpected dangers......

Not long ago, there was terrible news of missing people in a nearby fishing village. Of course, this place is not garrisoned by the World Tree Organisation's defense forces, and it is up to the locals themselves to solve the problem.

At the junction of the sea and a babbling river, four wooden fishing boats are moored. As for the source of the river, when looking back from the beach, it disappeared into the sand not far from a lush and beautiful coconut grove, and two men in light blue short coats and pointed to the sea and talked slowly.

"Shenghai, there are already three people in the village who are missing in this vicinity."

The man walking on the left is named Henier. Jace Fu. He has a square-shaped face and a flat head. The skin is dark and swarthy, as if a layer of ash has been smeared on the bottom of the pot, and the big white is out of place, and people can't touch it when they turn off the lights at night.

The man on the right has short blue hair, a melancholy expression, and an elusive smile on his lips. He is slightly strong (fat), 1.71 meters tall, and half a head shorter than Fu Jace. His name is Xie Shenghai.

The two live in a fishing village behind the coconut grove, and they are both neighbors before and after a single household. The former is an old bachelor (Fu Jace); The latter is young and middle-aged (Xie Shenghai), who is about to be thirty years old, and will soon be old.

"One is the eldest son of the old Lu family, and since he went to sea to fish, he has not been heard from for several times; The other is the old Liu who gave me a fish a few days ago......"

"Until we saw [their] fishing boats, all the things that were assumed to have happened were not good." Xie Shenghai's voice was soft. His eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a clear, curved mark in the sand, as if it had been slid by something.

This trail leads straight into the sea, and finally disappears into a cloud of sea foam

"Hmm." Jace smacked his thick lips. He quickly put his palms over his forehead to block out the harsh rays of the sun. Still, his eyes were forced to squint into a slit.

"By the way, has anyone gone to sea to find me?" Xie Shenghai squinted his eyes and stood in place for a while. As he turned around, he paid special attention to the tall coconut tree that was tilting to the left, and silently made a mental mark.

"Of course I've looked for it. But I searched all the seas around me, but found nothing. Fu Jace replied to him with a frown.

"That," therefore, this made Xie Shenghai more convinced of his own judgment. He took a deep breath, then asked Jace Fu interestingly, "Have you ever heard of a man-eating shark, Jace Fu?" ”

"What, sharks eat people?"

"Yes." Xie Sheng is a little bit up and down the sea.

Perhaps because he was too surprised by this topic, Fu Jace stopped, and then looked at Xie Shenghai with a surprised and questioning look. Rhetorical question: "Sheng Hai, do you suspect that they were eaten by sharks?" ”

"Initial skepticism." Xie Shenghai raised his head and looked at his dark face calmly.

Fu Jace stared at his blank eyes, and suddenly snorted and laughed when he looked at it. "How could there be sharks here, and if they were, they would have been dragged up by our fishing nets?"

"Of course not here, but not necessarily on the West Coast. Whew—" Xie Shenghai turned his head to the surface of the sea, and he looked at the rolling waves, just as his heart was fluctuating at this time.

"West Coast? Ah, ah, indeed. Jace turned his head and spat on the sand, then buzzed his tall nose wings.

"In this case, I'm going to go around the West Coast, and I'm done lending me the fishing boat, okay?"

When he spoke, he always used such counter-words, which made Clancy Rao Jace very confused, and he was always silent for a long time before he could realize what he meant. A pair of old neighbors, made it very embarrassing.

"Of course...... Of course. Fu Jace hesitated, and finally hesitated to agree to him.

"I'll go to sea when I'm done," Xie Shenghai said, his hands on his waist, his eyes looking firmly ahead. "Let's see if we can find anything underwater."

"Are you crazy?" Fu Jace looked at him puzzled, as if he was deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"I'm not crazy because I still have this."

At this time, it was obvious that Xie Shenghai had a slight smile on his face. He turned his head and reached out and grabbed the necklace around his neck to the outside of his clothes. On closer inspection, it was a necklace made of silver-white iron hoops, with an oval-shaped sea-blue gemstone firmly fixed in the middle.

"What is this?" Fu Jace blinked, looking around curiously.

"It's an amulet, and I call it the Heart of the Ocean." Xie Shenghai dragged the jewel of the necklace in the palm of his hand and deliberately lied to him.

"Ah, ah, indeed." Fu Jace smiled reluctantly on his face. He grinned with thick lips that showed his teeth, and the teeth were white, like white corundum.

.

At dusk, the tide gradually rises.

The slanted shadow of the setting sun falls on the sparkling sea, and the clouds that connect with the sea bloom into a red glow. The waves crashed against the wet, variously shaped reefs, splashing water foam into the notches of the reef and rippling in the shell-filled puddles. Large swaths of sand began to be flooded by the sea, including the babbling river.

At night, the coconut grove is brightly lit.

"Daddy!"

"Ah Shi, Dad is going to sea to catch fish."

"But I don't want my dad to ......"

The man squatted down, touched the back of the boy's head on the dark ground, and said softly in a thick voice: "Dad has to earn money to support the family." How about you listen to your mother at home and bring you a bunch of conch whelks when your father comes back in the morning? ”

"Really?!" The boy's really big eyes suddenly flashed with a layer of shiny luster. On the childish face, there is an innocent smile.

"Of course it's true, just like last time. Come on, shall we pull the hook? The man smiled as he stretched out his thumb first.

"Hmmm! Pull hook. ”

“……”

The next morning, the fishing boats were back with a full harvest. But only the man was nowhere to be seen, and the man did not come back.

At noon, the boy was taken by the hand by his mother and came to the beach. They stood on the highest and flattest rock, looking out over the gray sea, waiting for the man to return.

In the afternoon, the boy's mother was at the entrance of the village, and told those who were going to go out to sea to fish, that they must find her husband.

As dawn approached, the fishing boats returned with a full load. But for the process of finding forgiveness, they did search all night, but to no avail.

At noon on the fourth day, Nanrao's relics were floating on the sea, and there were some smashed wooden boat planks next to them. When these things were seen by the old man Green, who happened to be passing by the beach, he slipped into the sea despite the risk of being swept away by the waves, forked them with the harpoon he carried with him, and brought them back to the village with a hurry......

After Xie Shenghai found out, he rushed to the family's house as soon as possible, but he didn't expect it to be a step too late. He squeezed through the crowd to the front and saw the woman holding her husband's relic (a blouse) and curled up on the head of the bed and weeping.

Fortunately, the boy was old and ignorant, so he was temporarily coaxed out by Aunt Wang of the next door with two pieces of candy. The rest of the aunts all gathered around the newly widowed woman to sympathize and comfort.

Seeing this, Xie Shenghai could no longer suppress the anger in his lungs. He clenched his trembling fists, turned and rushed out the door.

After this series of incidents, and after the spread in the village, the villagers were panicked all day long. So much so that when it was sunset and dusk, no one dared to go out to sea to fish, but uniformly adjusted the fishing time to white.

.

In the evening, after Fu Jiesi, who lived alone in the family, finished eating, he walked out of the yard full of dried shrimp and had not had time to clean up, and prepared to go to the beach for a walk.

Fu Jace walked through the coconut grove and along the babbling river to the sea. At night, the light sea breeze blows in your face, making you feel refreshed. He grabbed the flashlight and shone it forward, but suddenly found that not far away, there was a flashlight other than him shining, and soon a familiar voice shouted from afar:

"Hey, who's over there?"

"I'm Henier. Jace Fu! Fu Jace raised his head, responded loudly to the other party, and then asked loudly, "Who are you?" ”

"Huh? What the? ”

The other party's voice was very loud and loud, and when Fu Jace reacted, he found that the light of the flashlight was close in front of him, and there was a sound of staggering footsteps. He vigilantly raised the light of the flashlight forward, and found that the other party was Xie Shenghai.

"Shenghai?!"

"Why are you here? Jace Fu. Xie Shenghai shone the light of the flashlight on the ground, looked at him a few times, and then asked in a hurry.

"I want to ask why you're here, do you come out to digest food?" Fu Jace let down his guard and let out a long breath, his face full of bitterness.

"No, I'm ready to go to sea, and I'm using your fishing boat." When he speaks about the sea, he is quite cunning.

"What!" Hearing this news, dealing with Jace was like a five-thunder blast from Da Qing.

"Don't worry, I've tied enough rope this time, and I won't capsize like last time." Xie Shenghai smiled apologetically at him. To be honest, if it weren't for the flashlight light, it would be really difficult to find out which side this guy Fu Jace was on.

"No, no, no, I'm not this - wait, don't go yet." Fu Jie hurriedly argued, but suddenly realized that Xie Shenghai had turned around and walked forward. He shouted and hurried forward.

Xie Shenghai did not listen to him, but quickened his pace and walked straight forward until he came to the river where the fishing boats were moored. Without a word, he threw his flashlight on the fishing net in the cabin, then turned back and put away the anchor to set sail.

"Shenghai, don't be in a hurry to leave, listen to me." Jace put one foot on the side of the boat and the other foot on the sand, firmly in control of the fishing boat. The sea breeze blew softly, and he saw that Xie Shenghai's short blue hair was swaying in the wind.

"Huh?" Xie Shenghai was very dazed, and at this time, he was already sitting in the cabin.

"How about I go with you in the morning?" The suggestion mentioned by Fu Jace is actually quite good.

"Well...... Actually, no, because I'll be back soon. However, Xie Shenghai was not very satisfied with this, so he was full of quibbles.

"It's too dangerous to be alone at night. Besides, who would dare to go to sea at night now? Fu Jie frowned worriedly, and said to Xie Shenghai threateningly: "Then if you go to sea tonight, ah, you can rest assured." I promise that after the third day, the whole village will have to go to your house to eat a big pot of rice. ”

"Fu Jace, have you been planning for a long time against the duck in my yard?" Xie Shenghai tilted his head to look at him, and asked in a cold voice.

"You can't wrong me like that, aren't we best friends?" Fu Jiesi's face was aggrieved, and he said: "How could I do such a cruel thing?" You see, my tears are already coming out of my mouth. ”

"......" Xie Shenghai licked the corners of his dry lips and gently breathed into the air. He blinked and looked at the sea, and everywhere he could see was pitch black. Serious: "Listen to Jace, I'm going to sea tonight no matter what." ”

"I'm not kidding you, it's too dangerous to do this!" Fu Jie also immediately straightened his face, looked at Xie Shenghai's side face, and told him more seriously.

"It's my responsibility." Xie Shenghai grabbed the oar and slapped it on the water, showing his determination.
