Chapter 300: Recovery
When she heard this, she immediately showed a puzzled expression, "What kind of water monster?
The old man's words were very sure, "Yes, yes, red, people are so big!" He wiped a handful of water from his face, "Let's go!"
Nan Nan frowned, "You can't be mistaken, can you? What if it's just a person?"
As soon as he was told about it, the old man also hesitated. Objectively speaking, what he just met did look like a person.
It's just that where is anyone who is red all over the body, like a shrimp?
While he hesitated, Nan Nan was already preparing, "I'll go down and have a look." ”
"Don't!" stopped the old man, "I'd better come." ”
As he spoke, the old man took the fishing net, shook off the four or five fish that had not yet had time to be picked out, and shook it vigorously towards the place where the so-called water monster had just been discovered, and cast the net.
Once the net sank to the bottom, he began to slowly retract upwards. The net was unusually heavy, and some of the cables hung up on the side of the ship.
Not long after, the red shell on Ding Qin's body appeared in the eyes of the two people. After he was completely out of the water, the old man finally figured out that it was a humanoid form, and hurriedly sped up, pulled Ding Qin up, peeled it out of the net, and put it on the deck.
However, in the face of such a "monster", the two of them couldn't laugh or cry.
That's right, this is indeed a person. He has a head, a neck, and limbs, and even under the red shell, his facial features are faintly visible.
However, he was not a man in the conventional sense. The red shell held him tightly without any gaps. In this closed situation, ordinary people should not be able to breathe and may die.
Could it be that this is just a corpse?
The old man walked around Ding Qin and said in a very uncertain tone, "This can't be a mummy, right?" According to legend, in ancient times, there was an exotic race called Egypt, and after all the kings died, they would be mummified, immortal, and passed down for centuries......
"Got grandpa, how could he be some kind of ancient exotic race. You see, there's a bag in the net. "Nan Nan is actually very careful.
Indeed, inside the net, there is also a cloth bag. This is the clothes that Ding Qin carried with him when they put him on the dinghy, including the Lingna Stone Belt.
Nan Nan took out the bag and shook it open gently. The contents were soaked, but undamaged.
"You see, this is obviously a modern thing. "Nan Nan was very interested in the Lingna Stone Belt, but after only observing it for a few moments, she put it down.
"Or is it a water burial?" The old man looked at Ding Qin in a circle again, and knocked on the red shell.
At the slightest touch, the red shell actually made a crisp sound, which startled the old man. Nan Nan was also absorbed by this voice, "Grandpa, what are you doing!"
The old man took two steps back, "Granddaughter, I always feel that this is an ominous thing, so it is better to put it back in the water." Not put it back in the water, put it back on its original boat. ”
Nan Nan lowered her head and thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed with the old man's statement, "Okay." Then, you go down and turn the boat over, and I'll put the bag on. ”
The old man nodded, launched again from the nearest place, and turned Ding Qin's boat over. On the fishing boat again, he found a stretcher and prepared to slide Ding Qin down.
However, as soon as Ding Qin was moved, he heard a click.
As soon as the voice came out, the faces of the old man and the girl changed. Because they knew that it might be the red shell on Ding Qin's body that was cracked.
The two of them put Ding Qin down again a little helplessly, and quietly observed Ding Qin's changes. However, the cracked part of the body seemed to be on the back, and they couldn't see it.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement, the grandfather and grandson were ready to do it again. But before he walked in front of Ding Qin, he heard a dense crackling sound coming from the red shell.
Cracks began to spread, splitting the red shell into countless small pieces. Each small piece is a regular octagon, and the size is basically the same.
Such a scene has never been seen by the grandfather and grandson.
In their hearts, they are actually a little afraid. Involuntarily, both of them took a few steps back, and Nan Nan habitually grabbed Grandpa's arm.
They didn't actually notice that the fog was quickly dissipating since they hit Ding Qin. After a while, the sun also rose from the distant mountain, and a ray of sunlight shone directly on Ding Qin.
As if reacting with this sunlight, the red shell full of cracks shattered at the same time, and Ding Qin's body was exposed from it.
Due to the long-term medication and the sealing in the shell, Ding Qin's skin looked very pale. And it is precisely because of the existence of these broken shells that cover the front part of his body, which also makes Nan Nan not too embarrassed.
The old man and the girl looked even more nervous, and the two of them had retreated to the side of the boat.
After waiting for a few seconds, Ding Qin, who didn't move, suddenly took a deep breath.
The highly nervous girl was so frightened that she couldn't help but cry out "ah" at this time.
However, Ding Qin did not get up. After this inhalation, he inhaled several more times irregularly, and the whole person's breathing began to become even. Moreover, his hands and feet also began to move slowly.
"He's still alive!" she muttered, but she still grabbed her grandfather's arm, not daring to move.
After all, the old man is older, and his mentality is more calm. He observed for a while, and one hand held Nannan's arm, "You stand here and don't move, I'll take a look." ”
Walking in front of Ding Qin, he turned around twice, then squatted down and removed the red shell fragments left on Ding Qin's face.
Ding Qin's facial features are complete and clear, his face is calm, and there is no hideous appearance at all.
The old man tried Ding Qin's snort and touched his heartbeat again. At the moment, Ding Qin is no different from a person who has fallen asleep.
Just as he was getting up and discussing with his granddaughter how to deal with this person, he heard Ding Qin say in a very weak voice, "Water, water." ”
If Tang Fei, Shi Yuanda and the others were present, they would definitely find that Ding Qin's voice had recovered. This is no longer the slightly strange voice when the bone soul was dominant, but Ding Qin's original sound.
However, the old man, who was not prepared, was still startled. He sat down on the boat, but quickly got up again and said to the girl, "Quick, get some water!"
She was stunned for a moment, but then quickly came to her senses, ran to the stern of the boat, took a bowl, and took the water they had brought with the boat, and brought it to her grandfather.
Here, the old man had already helped Ding Qin up and sat on the deck. Ding Qin was still in a shallow coma, but he kept screaming for water.
While stabilizing Ding Qin's posture, the old man brought water to Ding Qin's mouth. After Ding Qin's lips touched the water, he first tasted it lightly, and then drank it in a big gulp. By the time of the last bite, he choked and coughed loudly.
The more he behaved like an ordinary person, the lighter the fear in the hearts of the old man and the girl. The old man is even helping Ding Qin pat his back now to help him cough up the water he choked on as soon as possible.
"Whew......" Ding Qin suddenly let out another breath, and then slowly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, he was no longer in that state of dead ashes, but with divine light.
Although this kind of divine light carries exhaustion and weakness, at first glance, one can feel that it is the eyes of ordinary people.
Ding Qin himself came back to his senses, turned his head slightly, looked at the surrounding environment, and asked blankly, "Is this ...... Where is this? Who are you?"
When his gaze fell on the old man and Nannan, he instinctively shrank back. However, his body was still quite weak, and as soon as he retreated, he fell directly to the deck, and with great difficulty it was able to get up again.
After getting up, he first observed his surroundings.
A stretch of water, with both sides reaching straight to the sky, and the waterfront can be seen on both sides. In the distance, there is a mountain that shines with the peculiar pink of the morning glow.
Nearby, on the wooden deck, there was a pile of red debris, like fish scales. Raising his head, two strangers, one old and one young, a man and a woman, stared at him with surprise in their eyes.
Who the hell is this? Who are they?
This was Ding Qin's first question.
Soon, a bunch of questions appeared in his mind.
Who am I? How did I get here? Why am I not wearing clothes? What are these red ones?
His mind went blank.
Can't remember, can't think of anything!
Ding Qin only felt that his head was swollen and painful, and even his ears were buzzing. He couldn't help but cover his ears with his hands and bow his head in pain.
After a while, the discomfort gradually lessened a lot. However, he found that he was still like a baby, without the slightest memory.
Putting down his hand, he looked at the old man and the girl blankly, "Who are you? Where is this? Who am I?"
His body was still in a state of extreme weakness. Just after asking this question, Ding Qin's eyes darkened, his body slowly tilted to the side, and he fainted again.
When he woke up again, Ding Qin was already lying on the bed. Although the roof and walls that first catch your eye look shabby, the bed underneath you is soft and comfortable, and the quilt on your body is very warm.
Taking a deep breath, a fresh fragrance of porridge rushed into his nasal cavity. Following the fragrance, I saw that not far from the bed, there was a small wooden table with a bowl of porridge and a spoon in it.
Ding Qin instinctively propped himself up, took the bowl, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth. The porridge should be filled with fish or shrimp and other things, which is fragrant and delicious, and slightly salty. This bite directly awakened his appetite, let go of the spoon, and he drank the porridge in a few clicks.
Seeing that there was still hot water on the table, Ding Qin also picked it up and poured several large sips.
After eating and drinking, he tried to recall it again. When I woke up on the boat, the memory of seeing my grandfather and grandson was clear. However, the two most critical questions, who you are and why you are here, are still unanswered.
Ding Qin's brows slowly furrowed.
He knew he had amnesia. And the memory loss is extremely severe. Now, in my own brain, I can only describe it as a blank space.
There was a "squeak" and the door opened. Nan Nan walked in from outside, and when she saw Ding Qin sitting, she immediately turned around and shouted out, "Grandpa, he's awake!"
