Chapter Eighty-Nine: Old Hot Pot, New Fish Balls
Yuwan's words were incoherent, but each word seemed to hammer the thickest nerve in the depths of my brain, and I took two steps back until I retreated to the fence gate, and slowly closed my eyes.
My hallucinations didn't seem to be waking up yet, I closed my eyes and muttered to myself, rubbing my eyes vigorously through my eyelids, and my eyes were full of Venus, but the child was still there, not moving.
I tried several more methods, such as biting the flesh on my arm, biting my fingers, pinching my earlobes, biting the tip of my tongue, pulling my hair, anyway, I tried all the same flowers and jobs I could think of, and even, I forgot to pour a mouthful of water into my mouth, and sprayed the giant eye on the stone wall that had long since recovered its original appearance with the smell of blood in my mouth, until finally, I was exhausted and sure that this was not an illusion, that fish ball, it was really awake.
The red sun slowly rose from the sea level, and the soft morning light bathed in this small cave of less than ten square meters through the fence gate, but I did not feel the warmth brought to me by the sun father, and there was still fear, fear of a child, if she was still a living child.
Yes, in less than ten minutes she told me by her actions that she was alive, and that she was alive and well!
I pointed my dagger at the ten-year-old girl, who was at least five paces away from me and less than one meter three in height, as if facing a great enemy, and groped behind me with my other hand to open the fence door, and gently, gently rubbed out of the door through a crack in the door.
The damned spirits were gnawing at their shiny black wings in the sun, some were looking down and biting their paws, but none of them looked at me, as if there was no such person, and they didn't take me seriously.
Dan Dan was still lying on his stomach, kneeling in the direction of the sun with his great speed, kowtowing like pounding rice, his forehead was covered with mud, and even slightly oozing blood, and his face was full of snot and tears mixed with dirty mud.
I dragged the balls to a low-lying puddle, the water was not dirty, but it was not clean, I pressed his head, and my head plunged into the puddle, the water was very cool, pierced me a spirit, and then the whole body was comfortable, maybe I pressed his head a little hard, at this time the balls, the face was full of mud, and myself, not much better, he looked at me with a pair of white eyes stunned, the fingers of his hands were still trembling.
I crouched in front of him, patted him on the head, turned my hand into the shape of a knife, slashed at the air, and said, "Shandan, click, I, killed, Yuwan, wake up".
I know it's confusing, but what can I do? Did he tell him that Lao Tzu had also been tricked, and stabbed himself in the throat with a dagger to atone for his sins? Or tell him that Lao Tzu is more sloppy than him, and he almost peed his pants?
Obviously, Dandan is a very contented person, at first, his eyes widened when he heard the word "Shandan", until I finished speaking, a mouthful of white teeth as white as bones came out, and his face was full of mud and he laughed, kneeling on the ground and kissing my calves and knees, and the cries of "Shanna" and "Shanna" came from his mouth from time to time.
To be honest, I don't know what the "Shandan" he said to me on the gentle slope was, but my subconscious told me that in the minds of their natives, it should not be a good thing, or some kind of spirit, or even a devil that they imagined, and in fact my experience in the cave basically confirmed my conjecture, but what it was, I can't explain it with what I know for the time being.
In fact, it's not surprising, half a year ago, didn't the demon girl play demon magic on me on the ship? But it turned out later that it was probably the result of the aroma of hallucinogenic seaweed, and to a large extent, it can be judged that it has nothing to do with the demon girl.
In short, this sudden change of events did not kill me, which is a blessing in misfortune, and at the same time, it also updated my new understanding of the unknown territory of this world, which does not mean that I have accepted this fantasy and strange supernatural powers, but only that this is also the hallucinatory control of some chemical element on me, which is the same as the scent of seaweed.
Looking at Dan Dan smiling beside me, in fact, I was very worried in my heart, now, there are only two ways in front of me, either say goodbye and run steadily, whether it is to run to the westernmost point of this island near the death swamp, or simply take Dan Dan to ask the demon girl to return to the canoe and leave the island where I have lived for five years, this is a way, a way to maybe survive.
Of course, you know, I'm so attached to everything around this cave, I don't want to leave here and live all over again, five years, whether I'm committing adultery or committing a crime, God has thrown me here for five years, I'm so familiar with every grass and tree here, and even the three people who can breathe here are all companions in distress who have seen each other's life and death, I can't give up, not to mention, all my belongings are still in the cave!
"Even if you go, you have to toss everything out, and take the tiger girl and the native girl with you", this was the last thing I told myself, and then, I gritted my back molars and carried the dagger, ready to go back and swallow the I had just blown to the balls.
On the gentle slope, a gray figure kept shaking, and with every movement of the figure, a child's "giggling laughter, innocent, innocent, and pure, and the laughter instantly sprinkled all over the gentle slope, and even this mountain, were immersed in this joy."
sound.
The few evil spirits croaked and screamed, as if in concert with the child's laughter, and they flickered their wings, and from time to time they brushed their soft feathers over the girl's cheeks, as if they were deliberately tickling her.
I pouted at this "like out of the world" scene, and wondered if I should rush over and stab this girl a few times now? It wasn't until I approached her that I completely touched this idea of attacking her from my heart, don't get me wrong, I wasn't impressed by this child who didn't know whether it was a human or a demon, but I suddenly realized how whimsical this idea was.
In fact, a lot of what I do is too subjective, isn't it? Like now! Actually, I should go into the cave and pack my luggage and carry the two living dead to get out of here, it's completely delusional to do something to this kid, in the past period of time, or rather, since this group of evil spirits came here, the status between me and Yumaru has actually undergone a fundamental change, she has the ability to kill me at any time, and I ....... her Hehe, it may not be able to kill her.
I laughed at myself as I walked nervously towards the entrance of the cave, but I was grabbed by the fish balls and stammered incoherently to me, "Are you... Who, I.. It's true.. Seen.. You, I can't remember." As she spoke, she smiled at me with the deep dimples of the pair.
