Chapter 4: The New World
Qin Qi fell from a high altitude and smashed directly on the calm sea, like a deep-water cannonball, blowing up a wave, which was instantly covered by the calm of the sea. Qin Qi suddenly burrowed into a few meters below the surface of the sea, and the sticky and cold water made him feel suffocated. But such a "warm" embrace with the sea did not take away his normal consciousness, and when he could feel his limbs, he writhed his body and leaped out of the sea like a dolphin, gulping in the fresh air of the sea.
Qin Qi floated on the surface of the sea like this, looking from the high altitude where he had just fallen, he was like an isolated island at this time, surrounded by sea water, it was so inconspicuous, even he himself thought so. He anxiously looked around, hoping to see a corner of the land, but unfortunately there was not a shadow of a single grass except for the endless sea level and the fading sunset. He remembered that he had the impression of land when he fell just now, but he didn't grasp his direction, and after emerging from the water, he completely lost his sense of direction, although his physical strength was okay, but what if he swam in the wrong direction? At that time, it may be all the way to the black, adult shark's dinner. Qin Qi kept his sanity and did not act rashly, but stayed in place for a while, but gradually he found that there was something wrong with this sea.
If this is the sea, why are there no waves? If this is the sea, why is it so quiet? In this quiet state, the sea is like a mirror. It seems that this should be a deep sea, and the deep sea in Qin Qi's impression is too much of a place with rough waves and huge waves. Slowly, a nameless sense of fear poured into Qin Qi's brain, making him feel creepy.
At this time, the sea water rippled, Qin Qi could feel the sea water flowing around him, like a strip of silk brushing his body, some small bubbles began to emerge two or three meters in front of him, the rate and size were constantly increasing, when the bubbles stopped, a pair of eyes the size of a fist surfaced, these eyes are somewhat similar to wreaths, a circle of yellow circles overlapped on it, each circle will automatically expand and shrink in size, I have to say that it is somewhat cute. Qin Qi originally thought that there would be some big fish, but he didn't expect it to be such a pair of lovely eyes, he looked at these eyes for a long time, and couldn't help but relax his vigilance, stretching out his right hand, wanting to touch it.
But just when his hand was about to touch it, these eyes suddenly dived into the water, and the water surface returned to calm, Qin Qi was a little lost, and he originally planned to tease these eyes. However, what happened next is likely to make him regret it a lot.
All of a sudden, the sea became very turbulent. The water surface in front of Qin Qi slowly bulged, and the mist was filled, and he saw a giant head in the shape of a triangle emerging from the sea, still the familiar yellow eyes just now, but what was matched below was a bloody mouth, saw-shaped teeth, rattling, this majestic way of appearance really shocked Qin Qi, Qin Qi cursed a dirty word in his heart and turned around and swam back. How could this triangular monster let Qin Qi go and not go to his dinner? It immediately opened its big mouth and swooped towards Qin Qi again and again, and while Qin Qi was swimming, he did not forget to see the direction of the triangular monster's dive, skillfully dodged several of its attacks, and gave it a heavy blow every time it attacked, making the triangular monster a little dizzy. Qin Qi was surprised and pleasantly surprised by his few punches, because each punch was more than ten times stronger than before, I don't know if it was a little impact on the brain when he smashed into the sea, Qin Qi didn't dodge this three-headed monster in the next few rounds, but hit it directly on the head.
The best defense is offense. Qin Qi quickly grasped the true meaning of this sentence.
Qin Qi continuously repelled the attacks of the triangular monsters, and instead of depleting his physical strength, he became more abundant, and gradually got a little carried away. The triangular monster was obviously enraged, and it stopped its stupid attack, wagging its own tail in the sea, and unexpectedly dealt a heavy blow to Qin Qi's head. Qin Qi plunged headlong into the water and grabbed a few mouthfuls of seawater. The triangular monster took the opportunity to roll Qin Qi up with his tail, pressing him so that his two arms could not be extended, and he could only be obediently suspended in mid-air, unable to move. Qin Qi was still triumphant just now, but now he has become the triangular monster's meal, so angry that he forgot his fear, and shouted angrily at the triangular monster: "Come on, you bastard, come and eat me!" ”
After venting his anger, Qin Qi closed his eyes and waited for death. He felt the triangular monster's bloody jaw getting closer and closer, as he smelled a heavier smell of blood, as well as the heat coming from his mouth.
At this critical moment, a huge wave exploded from the side, Qin Qi opened his eyes and saw that the white waves covered the scene in front of him, and when the waves faded, what he saw was a giant snake that was twice as big as this triangular monster, a giant snake with a silver body.
The giant snake seemed to know that it was not a good kind, at least Qin Qi thought so. The giant snake bit the neck of the triangular monster, its sharp teeth pierced into the triangular monster's skin, the blue liquid burst out from the neck, the triangular monster screamed in pain, and as soon as its tail loosened, Qin Qi fell into the water again. The giant snake did not stop its cruel bite, it made the upper and lower rows of teeth move relative to each other, the blue liquid was splashing wantonly, and Qin Qi also had a lot on his body, and the smell was worse than that of a corpse. It wasn't until the triangular monster's head was in a different place that the giant snake let go of its mouth.
At this time, Qin Qi didn't pay attention to the blue liquid on his head, but quietly lowered his head, praying in his heart that the giant snake would not find him.
This trick of covering his ears and stealing the bell couldn't fool the giant snake, and after the giant snake spit out the head of the triangular monster, he leaned down and stared at Qin Qi. Qin Qi knew that the giant snake had found himself, and he instantly felt uneasy, as if he had just come down from the battlefield and encountered an ambush. He thought that the giant snake was going to bite him, but he didn't expect the giant snake to close its mouth and lick Qin Qi's head with a letter, knowing that the blue liquid on his head was gone.
This will definitely not be the highest level of enjoyment in life, because a giant snake washes his hair with a letter, and in Qin Qi's heart, there is no pleasure, only the oppressive feeling of a knife scraping indiscriminately on his neck. After Qin Qi endured such a high-level service that the giant snake gave him, he looked up at him tremblingly, and the giant snake at this time was like looking at a work that satisfied him, swinging his head left and right to look at the top of Qin Qi's head, and nodding very individually.
At this time, something came out of the water not far away, and the mist began to fill again. The giant snake looked into the distance vigilantly for a moment, and then, it twisted its slender body and circled Qin Qi with its tail. Qin Qi was lifted into the air again, this time, he estimated that he was really going to dinner, holding the strong and smooth silver body of the giant snake in his two arms, and closed his eyes. But the giant snake didn't mean to eat Qin Qi. It slowly moved Qin Qi from mid-air below the surface of the water, and with one effort, it directly threw Qin Qi into the air, dozens of meters high.
Qin Qi completed a long arc flight in the air, and for the first time verified the parabola theorem so realistically. When he fell into the sea, he could already see that land was in front of him.
The body was soaked in the water, so Qin Qi didn't have the slightest sense of security, he swam forward desperately, still undecided about what had just happened, and it was not fun to jump out of the water monster or something like that. Qin Qi didn't notice that the ruddy sunset did not set to the west, but turned into a wisp of pink smoke after touching the sea level, and the white light of the sky was swallowed up by the darkness layer by layer, until in the end, only the pitch-black sky was left, and the stars were like dotted lights, one by one lit up from the darkness. When the moon rose from the sea level on the other side, Qin Qi had already touched the sand and gravel on the shore, he quickly climbed onto the beach, turned over, faced the night, and lay on the soft sand in a large-shaped posture, groggily falling asleep.
In the dream, Qin Qi repeated a picture that had not been interrupted for more than ten years, two people with blurred faces singing and talking to him lying on the bed, all kinds of tricks to tease children. Qin Qi knew that these two people must be his parents, although he had no impression of his own parents, and he had no memory at all, but every night, they would appear in his dreams, chat with him, and play with him. At this time, Qin Qi would always take the initiative to stretch out his hands to them, hoping to touch their faces, but this extravagant request was not allowed, as long as he stretched out his hand, the dream would fall apart in an instant, and everything would return to reality. Tonight is no exception.
When the two people in front of him gradually turned into three huge moons, Qin Qi still doubted whether he was in a dream. He got up sleepily and looked around, the calm sea, the dense jungle behind him, the night, the stars, the stench of his hair, everything was real, there was no dream feeling. Qin Qi raised his head again, staring blankly at the three moons in the sky, the bright luster, and the shallow and dark moon pit, he thought for a while, accepted this fact, stood up, patted the sand on his body, and walked along the coast.
He knew that what he needed now was to stay calm and find his way home, and Luo Zhilan was still waiting for him on the boat.
From time to time there was a wolf howl in the woods along the coast, or a few unspeakable birds flying out of it, and an unacceptable scream, which sounded like someone was being killed. Qin Qi tried his best not to look into the woods, he remembered what the man in black told him, he felt that this man in black should know him, and it was not an ordinary acquaintance, the man in black should be very familiar with his father and grandfather. Although he learned that Mr. Qin was not his biological grandfather, Qin Qi was still very concerned about his condition. He thought about it, this place is probably the other world that Luo Fangshi and the man in black said, although it is another world, Qin Qi feels that there is not much difference, at most it is just two more moons, compared to this question, he is more concerned about whether there are people in this world and whether there is anything to eat.
After walking for a while, Qin Qi saw a small moving light source in front of him, which was also floating along the shore. Qin Qi immediately vigilantly retreated under the bush on the side, shielded himself with a branch, and carefully observed the point of light. This point of light got closer and closer, and soon Qin Qi found that this was not a simple point of light, but a light on a cane, holding the cane, was an old man with white hair, a slender face, a long white beard, wearing a white robe, wearing a gray cloak, humming a small tune all the way, watching around. The old man seemed to be familiar with the place, and at one time he would pick fruit from this tree, and at another he would put a few leaves on that tree. Qin Qi didn't know whether to ask this old man for help, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.
"Come out, I've seen you." A ray of light illuminated Qin Qi's hiding place.
Qin Qi crawled out from under the bushes, shielded the light of the cane with his hand, tore off his suit, and said to the old man: "Don't be afraid, I don't have a weapon on me, I just want to ask for directions." ”
"Asking for directions?" The old man took back his cane, touched his beard, looked down at the bushes, and said, "You have a very special way of asking for directions~"
"I thought you were some kind of monster or something," Qin Qi said, "so I hid." ”
With that, Qin Qi put his hand down and talked to the old man face to face. The old man was very surprised when he saw Qin Qi's face, and raised his cane again, illuminating Qin Qi's face repeatedly, as if he had found some jewelry.
"Young man, where are you from?" The old man asked.
"I came from..." Qin Qi thought about it for a while, and changed his words, "I came from a far away place, got lost on the beach, and wanted to find a place to rest." ”
"Oh~ so it is," said the old man happily, "in that case, why don't you come to my house, dinner is ready, and if you have no opinion, you can rest at my house for the night, and you will find your way back to the town tomorrow." ”
"This..." Qin Qi was a little uncomfortable with the old man's kind invitation, "It's not suitable, after all, we don't know each other yet." ”
"That's not a problem, so let's do it, my name is Bethlito, the king of the priests, from the western kingdom of the priests, I don't know what to call you?"
"What a strange name." Qin Qi said to himself, "My name is Qin Qi, and I came from the other side of the sea." ”
"It's a strange name," exclaimed the old man, "and you said you came from the other side of the sea?" ”
Qin Qi was stunned by Old Man Bethlito's question. The reason why he said this was completely imitating Bethlito's self-introduction, and he also fantasized that the old man did not know what was on the other side of the sea. He said tentatively, "Well, have you been?" ”
The old man shook his head helplessly and said, "No, no, no, I have never been there, this sea is not very quiet, and no boat passes through here. ”
"So that's the case," Qin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "You just said that this sea is not quiet, I think it's quite quiet, there are no waves at all." ”
"Young man, that's something you haven't seen in the sea, it's all cannibalistic things." Old man Bethlito explained. "You said you came from that side, did you come by boat?"
"Yes, my ship sank, and I swam here from the sea." Qin Qi continued to make up his own story.
"You're so lucky to say that," Old Man Burlito patted Qin Qi on the shoulder, expressing his admiration. "It's a pleasure to see you in such a perfect condition, in the past, the ships and people who passed by here were basically all spared, and it is not common for people to lack arms and legs, how to say, anyway, no living person can leave this sea."
Qin Qi smiled bitterly a few times, he remembered the things that happened in the evening, and he couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on his luck.
"Well, it's getting late, it's time to get back to dinner," said Burlito, "and my granddaughter is still at home waiting for me to get back, and her cooking skills are unsurpassed." Come, young man, follow me through the woods to my house. ”
With that, the old man turned around and walked into the woods, and Qin Qi hurriedly followed.
