Chapter 267: Where the Dream Begins
One by one, the waves crashed on my head, and I wondered if I had been woken up by the water or by the waves that were like an axe.
The snow-white spray rolled up by the cascading waves, like naughty children greedily licking the smooth sand; It slowly receded again, like a shy girl gently pulling the long skirt that was mopping the floor.
My mouth was full of sand and mud, and whenever I moved my teeth towards the sand, my teeth and sand would make a series of uncomfortable sounds, but these sounds were nothing compared to the injuries on my body.
The immersion in the sea made my whole body a little numb, but it didn't affect me much, anyway, it wasn't the first time, I had experienced more tragic situations in the past nine years, and naturally understood that it was just a natural reaction of the body.
I tried to rub my hands and feet in the seawater, my tongue repeatedly back and forth against my gums, so that my consciousness could recover as soon as possible, but when I actually lay on the beach and looked at the injury, I was surprised to find that I was still alive with all my beards and tails, no matter the strangulation marks left by the bald man on my wrists, or the impact of the person who pretended to be me on my head, there was no trace at all, but the blood veins below the skin once again took on the familiar sea blue, and the flesh was unusually transparent.
What's even more amiss than that is that where I am now is not at all where I was yesterday when I was knocked unconscious.
Your second uncle is a grandson!
There was a burst of angry scolding in my heart, but unfortunately I didn't have enough strength to shout these words out.
"Today, this is your retribution, you are going to the Hades palace you said, and you should think about who I am!"
The last words that the man who pretended to be me had always heard in my ears lingered.
My head is a little cloudy, I don't know if it's because I drank too much seawater, yes, I can't help but think about who this person is, or rather, I know who it is, but I don't want to think of her.
The only thing I don't understand is that on this primitive desert island where there is no glue, how did she manage to make me so vivid.
The beach was sandy, the sand was golden and yellow, and it was loose and soft when I got on it, like stepping on a woolen carpet, and this rest lasted for more than half an hour, until the saliva at the corner of my mouth stopped drooping to the sand, and I turned over with my arms.
The sky was as blue as a piece of blue paper, and a few thin white clouds, as if they had been sunburned, floated slowly with the wind.
They must have thought I was dead, and then dragged me to a cliff somewhere and threw me into the sea, which is not really clever, if it were me...... Well, I know I can't do such a thing, or rather, I can't do this before.
I have to say that even I felt that my life was great, and the stone in the man's hand was so fatal to me every blow, but I didn't die, only a temporary fainting, which made them make a wrong judgment.
What's more, when I regained some strength to look around, I suddenly found myself drifting back to the familiar island in circles, yes, no one is more familiar with this place than I am, remember, when I first landed on this isolated island nine years ago, I woke up to this beach? A giant tree resembling a banyan tree in those rows of dense forests once made me suffer the first night of loneliness.
But that's not something to be thankful for me right now.
Almost in a moment of excitement, my body had rolled over to the side of a low bush, and the redundant bushes and gardenias had completely wrapped my body, yes, I had to, because it was so close to the gentle slope, and although I didn't know how long I had been unconscious, even if it was only for one night, I had no doubt that the man disguised as me had taken over my tribe, and was even now slaughtering many people, including Kawamei and Kinu.
An inexplicable sense of sadness made my heart suddenly sore.
Nine years, everything that has been built in nine years is likely to be lost to others, and the most unacceptable thing for me is that the person who tried to kill me would be a bald man, and another person would be ...... I don't want to remember that woman, in fact she was right, I was so soft-hearted that I should have slaughtered her with my own hands when she showed me the first signs of rebellion in that devilish jungle!
I didn't do it because she was the first to follow me, and she was a human being!
It wasn't until I figured out that it was impossible for me to return to that civilized society in my own place, that I put aside the unbeatable principles of the military, what crimes against humanity, what conventions of international law, what all people are equal, and when I knew that there would never be any military tribunal that would bind me, I lived back to my original self, but it was a little late.
My eyes were fixed on the movement in the banyan forest, I was hoping that someone would come out there, so that I could find out about the situation of the tribe, but I really didn't want such a person, because my strength might not be able to withstand the living people who came out.......
I didn't see anyone come out until it was dark, but a hermit crab dragged its little house and bushes in front of it, and I envied it, it had a home, and there was a place where I could go back if I wanted to.
The night on the sea fell very quickly, the sea and the sky were clear, the clouds were quietly rushing, the waves were flowing silently, and it seemed that you could feel the movement of the earth and celestial bodies; It seems to be able to jump to the people and things of a bygone era that have long since disappeared beyond the horizon. It is vague, vague and ephemeral, vivid.
I was so thirsty that I picked up a fern rhizome and took two sips, and the sweet feeling moistened from my throat to my stomach, and I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly.
Remember? Nine years ago, when I arrived on this island for the first time, I was in the same situation, and at that time, I did not know these survival skills at all, and I lay on my stomach like a dog in a backwater puddle and sucked for a long time, which directly led to diarrhea for fifteen days, and almost died.
I habitually pulled out the dagger from my waist and slipped two soft ferns into my mouth, which not only quenched my hunger, but also provided me with some necessary salt.
Suddenly, a strange feeling gave me goosebumps.
"Dagger?"
I subconsciously touched my waist, and when I touched it, I sat in the bushes in a daze, letting the thorns pierce my body.
I actually had a belt around my waist, and on top of the belt hung the dagger set that I knew all too well.
But weren't all these things carried out to sea with the tide nine years ago?
What made me even more creepy was that when I found out that I was not wearing gray overalls, although it was too dark to see the color of the clothes, judging by the position of the pocket, this was a military uniform, the same four-pocket military uniform I wore when I first landed on the island nine years ago!
I closed my eyes to sober myself up, and then slapped myself with a big "snap".
Hurt!
This is not a dream, and I am even more convinced that this is not a dream, it is I who found the box of "Chinese cigarettes" that I had eaten nine years ago in my trouser pocket.
