Chapter 277: Sea Soul Chapter. After the nightmare
Part.2
"What are you talking nonsense?" Seeing this, Fu Jace hurriedly freed his hand and grabbed the wooden boat to prevent him from taking the opportunity to row the fishing boat away. "Shenghai, Shenghai!"
"I won't tell you the truth......" Xie Shenghai said the situation seriously. His head turned back, and he glanced at Jace's face with the glow of a flashlight—though he still couldn't see it.
"What?" Fu Jace was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"Actually, I have another name and identity." Xie Shenghai snapped his throat and said solemnly: "My name is Eat Deflated Forest, and I am Yuan Neng. Blue Armor Warrior. ”
"How can anyone with the surname 'eat'?"
"Just kidding." A rare smile spread into Xie Shenghai's melancholy face, and he sat upright in the cabin. It wasn't until he chatted with Fu Jie Si that he finally got an agreement, and then rowed a small wooden boat to the dark sea.
"Hey ......"
"Good luck to me!"
Looking at the small wooden boat floating away quietly, and the clumsy figure of Xie Shenghai manipulating the oars, Henir. Fu Jace's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. He sighed in disappointment, then picked up the flashlight on the ground and turned back.
.
Listening to the sound of oars paddling across the water, Xie Shenghai looked out into the boundless darkness around him.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his chest, forcing him to stop rowing quickly. He turned off his flashlight and lay down in the cabin, gradually closing his eyes, and breathing evenly and shortly.
"Hoo ......"
The fishing boat floats in the direction of the waves and carries the wind to the depths of the sea. The night is boundless, and you can't see the dots of the stars, let alone where the round moon is hiding.
"What if one day, we humans melted into the sea and moved our homes to the bottom of the sea? In this way, you don't have to be like a mouse, dodging the infection war for years and months. ”
Often when he is alone, he begins to communicate with himself in this way. With his eyes half-open, he looked up at the clouds surging in the night sky.
Seshenghai, formerly a member of the Giselia Plateau-Human Coexistence Camp "Northwest", is a close friend mentioned in the aforementioned Yamakoma (Yamakoma Chapter, 27). Four years ago, he was forced to leave the "Northwest" camp because he was involved in the Night of the Massacre incident. Before leaving, he told the mountain foal the secret of his itinerary. But the two have not seen each other since.
Alone, he crossed the Laimi Plain alone and walked to the southern island of the South Island in the southern part of the plain, and finally settled in the vast part of this sea area.
However, if you count his experiences in the past four years, it is actually far more twists and turns than the above......
Drip......
Drip......
Drip......
Drip......
The sound of water droplets?
Originally, Xie Shenghai thought that the sky was starting to rain lightly. But when he sat up from the fishing net and looked at the nearby water, the waves were still slightly floating, and not a single drop of rain fell from the sky.
But this ticking sound sounded in his ears closely, which made Xie Shenghai feel more and more that something was wrong. So he turned back diagonally with a bewildered head, and at that moment the sight of his eyes almost frightened him.
"Ahh
"Woohoo!" On the surface of the sea, faintly discernible in the darkness, it was a long, slender gray body. The height of the outcrop is 20 meters, and the width is about 1 meter. Its sleek head can be seen in the sky, and the two mutated round eyeballs are full of childishness in the baby-like eyes, which is terrifying. On the back of the more sticky skin, there are also cracked and terrifying spikes.
Deep-sea giant (electric) eel!
"Eel?!" Although Xie Shenghai recognized this huge monster at a glance, this eel was too terrifying!
"Woohoo! (1) "The deep-sea giant eel swung its gills on both sides, and before Xie Shenghai could react, it slammed down with a blow from the spikes on its head.
"Bang dang!"
After a loud bang, the wooden fishing boat was split in an instant, and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.
"Ahh And Xie Shenghai was also on the wooden plank of the broken fishing boat, because one of them did not pay attention, he was hit in the back by the huge wave that suddenly poured into the sea, and fell into the sea.
When he sank into the water, his heart was in turmoil. Fortunately, his mind was still clear, he held his breath, and then struggled to swim to the surface. It wasn't until he felt his head and arms already out of the water that he boldly opened his mouth and desperately breathed in the humid air mixed with the sea breeze.
A huge wave came violently at this time, once again swept the Xie Sheng Sea into the sea more than ten meters deep. His mind was confused, and suddenly he remembered the necklace around his neck, so he quickly reached out and grabbed it. But no matter how much I touched it, I couldn't feel that the necklace was still tied around my neck.
Did the necklace break off and fall to the bottom of the sea?
Thinking of this, Xie Shenghai couldn't help but start panicking. But he chooses the importance of life more than the preciousness of the necklace. Adjust your posture and direction and swim to the surface. Now, he clutched his arms to a plank that floated on the water. My legs were tingling from the cold sea, and I was afraid of cold, which was not a good sign.
Crash!
But what followed was a situation that was even more serious than swimming to the shore by himself. The deep-sea giant eel suddenly emerges from the surface of the sea, and its huge body rises to a bird's-eye view of the sparrow-like sea on the water.
"Woohoo!"
The deep-sea giant eel swung its gills and slammed into the sea with its bloody mouth open.
"Ahh
Xie Shenghai sat up from the fishy fishing net, his chest no longer spained, but a cloud of cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back.
"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"
The sound of the waves rolling on the surface of the sea is blowing in the refreshing sea breeze. He himself sat in a fishing boat and drifted aimlessly into the depths of the sea.
It turned out that it was just a nightmare.
"......" lowered his head, reached into his neck, and found that the necklace made of iron chains was still there. The sea-blue gem shimmered with a beautiful glow like a fluorescent, with a piercing faint sound wave. Like the chirping of cicadas, and like the afterglow of bells.
"If I had an accident, you would tell me what to do, wouldn't you?" Xie Shenghai dragged the gem on the necklace in the palm of his right hand, looked at its flickering light, and asked in a calm voice.
But the sapphire, called "Heart of the Ocean", is inanimate and unlikely to answer his question.
.
At dawn the next day, the sun rose in the east from the sea and sky. Today's sky is full of dark clouds, so the sun looks like a silvery-white disk.
The boy named Ah Shi walked out of the coconut grove alone at this time, holding a small conch in the palm of his hand and going to the beach. He had short black hair and a small face full of acne. Wearing a gray tank top, black shorts, and sandals.
Eyes, wandering back and forth among the shirtless men in front of him, ready to go out to fish, looking for which one was his father.
"Hey, kid! Why did you get out alone? Behind him, a man walking in the river with a fishing net shouted, and the boy was so frightened that he hurried to look back.
"Wang Qiang, don't scare people." Another man carried a stick and smashed the shoulder of the man who was carrying the fishing net from behind.
"How can it?" The man named Wang Qiang had a sly smile on his face, and he turned back to the boy as he walked forward, and teased, "Hey, do you want to go out to sea with your uncle to catch fish?" ”
"Shhhhhhh Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. ”
Wang Qiang grinned disdainfully, shook his head again, and walked forward with broad steps.
Although the boy didn't hear what they were talking about, he turned to himself when he saw the man at the end who was walking with a stick, and said, "Ah Shi, you go home quickly." ”
"Where's my dad, Grandpa?" The boy's low voice, which disappeared into the shouting of them pushing the boat, went unanswered. The boy sighed and continued on his way with the conch in his arms.
However, no one realizes:
"Woohoo!" In the lush coconut grove behind it, a pair of round white eyeballs gradually appeared......
Village.
"How?"
"Nothing."
Gurgle, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck.
In the outhouse, the gurgling sound of a kitchen knife cutting on a cutting board has never been interrupted from Xie Shenghai's hand. He was slicing the potatoes and looking very serious.
Henir. Fu Jiesi sat on a stone grinding platform in the courtyard of Xie Shenghai, covered with a simple straw mat. Of course, only stones are left in this stone mill, and they are often used as stools by Xie Shenghai on weekdays.
"It's good to see you."
"That's what my duck thinks too." Xie Shenghai focused all his attention on chopping vegetables, so he always looked casual when chatting. When I was done, I stopped, and I didn't know what I was talking about. But when it comes to cooking, he's actually quite adept.
"Huh?" Fu Jace buzzed his nose and wings, his eyes wide-eyed. He quickly put down the bowl of mushy porridge, turned his head and looked at the herding pen of Xie Shenghai: the brown-skinned duck of the tree quacked happily and flapped its wings in circles.
Crash!
The sliced potatoes were held up by Xie Shenghai with a kitchen knife and thrown into the basin of water, and washed again.
"What does your duck have to do with me?" Fu Jace muttered quietly. He turned his head to the outhouse with the open door, continued to look at Xie Shenghai, and then quickly took a sip of the hot porridge.
When he had breakfast, Fu Jiesi always liked to come to the big courtyard of Xie Shenghai's house, and watched Xie Shenghai cook different styles of meals every day. He loves to tinker, he is also very particular about life, and he is also a literate and cultural person.
Although, in this small fishing village, Xie Shenghai is a strange person who is recognized by the villagers. Someone once gave him the title of an image, calling him "Mr. Strange":
Because he always likes to say some famous words that people don't seem to understand, and what makes people even more unacceptable is his habit of saying the opposite.
Last time, he got up in the middle of the night to cook and cook. As a result, he put the wrong seasoning and poured a whole pound of earth-based gunpowder into the pot for frying fish, and as a result, the pot exploded, and the haystack was set on fire, and he was almost killed. Fortunately, at the last moment, the villagers found him on the chimney on the roof, and the whole fishing village did not sleep well all night.
On another occasion, he rented a neighbor's fishing boat to go out to sea to catch fish. As a result, he drew the wrong direction and rushed into the undercurrent. He struggled to avoid being sucked in. However, he made a mistake and overturned the fishing boat. At last the boat was submerged and he swam back to shore, soaking wet.
In fact, Xie Shenghai's personality is very easy-going and honest.
This is probably why, as a Clancy, Henir can deeply feel isolated by the villagers. Fu Jace can talk to him slowly.
"Alright, I'll be ready to eat soon." Xie Shenghai deliberately or unintentionally diverted the topic. He washed the dishes, boiled the pot and poured oil.
"I'm almost done with this." Fu Jace dragged the bottom of the bowl upwards and lifted it up, although Xie Shenghai didn't look back at him. He then dropped the bowl, sucked the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth, and slowly stood up.
"Make a sour and spicy potato this morning; At noon, the whole and a seafood fragrant pot; In the evening, let's simply make a spicy pike crab, hehe. Xie Shenghai said something that he thought was funny, and waited for the oil to heat and prepare to pour the dishes.
"Well, if a girl from the village marries you, then she will have a good mouth." Fu Jace smacked his lips, and his laughter was as clear as the breeze. He moved his elbow on one side, and then silently walked out the door and went home.
"That's a good feeling, you can introduce me to it." I don't know how long it took after Fu Jace left, and it wasn't until the dishes in the pot were almost cooked that Xie Shenghai remembered what the last sentence was. He folded his hands and sat alone on the stone mill and muttered.
The crowing of chickens in the village livestock pens and the barking of dogs on the trails are inseparable from the sound of the rolling waves of the sea. As everyone knows, this is the dreary period before the storm is coming, or it may be that the typhoon is about to land again.
"Woohoo!"
“!” Suddenly, an indescribably terrifying scene flashed in Xie Shenghai's mind. His eyes widened and he jumped up in a violent reaction. Then try to find the impression of the scene just now in the chaotic and blank mind.
Wow -
"Could it be...... Is it? Xie Shenghai raised his eyes and looked blankly ahead. The necklace sapphire around his neck, like a human breathing rate, began to shimmer layer after layer.
Therefore, he immediately suffocated the cooked vegetables in the pot, and then rushed towards the coconut grove at twice the usual running speed......
.
"Woohoo! Woohoo! ”
The boy turned around and saw the stone-gray humanoid monster that seemed to be still covered in fur, coming out of the coconut grove. He didn't scream in fright, but ran to the reef-covered beach.
"Woohoo!" Seeing this, the monster immediately lifted his machete and chased after the boy in the direction of his escape.
