Chapter 228: The Island of Eclipse (34) Crocodile
"Ahh Be careful! Bang! Bang! β
I haven't recovered from Chen Si's words, and Chen Si's figure has disappeared at the entrance of the cave. Immediately afterwards, Fu Lingjun's shouts came again with the sound of gunshots, and then everything returned to calm.
"Chen Si, Chen Si!"
I finally reacted, picked up the knife on the side and hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the cave, when I ran to the entrance of the cave, I met Fu Lingjun who retreated to the entrance of the cave, her face was ugly, but I didn't have time to care about it, I jumped over her and looked outside, but I only saw a group of creatures crawling towards the lake, the beach was blood-red, spreading from the cave not far to the lake, and the blood color spread to the lake, and Chen Si was not seen.
In the faint light of the night, I saw the adult creature, and I finally recognized the creature - it was a group of crocodiles.
The crocodile I felt dizzy for a while, and I had a faint guess in my heart but refused to admit its authenticity, so I turned my head and grabbed Fu Lingjun's arm.
"Chen Si, Chen Si!? Where did Chen Si go!? β
"Don't be separated! Calm down! Fu Lingjun grabbed my hand to calm me down, and said with difficulty, "Chen Si she was bitten to death by a crocodile and dragged to the lake. β
There was a buzz in my head, and I sat down on the ground with all my strength, reaching out and holding the ground to let my brain roar.
Chen Si Chen Si Why did she do this? Die? It turned out that what she said before needed cigarettes to calm the tension and fear, and what was the last time she had premeditated her own death!
But why!? Why is she looking for death!? Aren't all those things in the past! Why the hell!?
The sound of crocodiles crawling into the lake was all in my ears, and those crocodiles didn't seem to be interested in me or Fu Lingjun, and they didn't show the slightest sign of attacking us, just left Kai quietly. I saw something crawling past me, and when I turned my head to look, I saw that it was the little crocodile that had just hatched in the cave earlier. They seemed to be guided by some kind of guidance, and crawled towards the lake like the adult crocodiles.
I watched the little crocodiles pass by me, and looked at the crocodiles that were about to leave in a bit of a daze, and suddenly realized something, and the hand holding the knife suddenly raised and stabbed hard at a small crocodile that crawled beside me!
A shrill cry came from the throat of a small crocodile, some like the cry of a human baby, and some like the chirping of a chicken.
"Don't leave! What are you doing! β
Fu Lingjun beside him was nervous for a while, and quickly raised the gun in his hand to aim at the crocodiles that had not yet left, preventing them from turning around and attacking us.
However, the crocodiles did not seem to notice the situation here, and did not change in any way, and still crawled into the lake and left, without even a pause.
As expected, my guess was correct.
I looked at the little crocodile under my knife, and it finally twitched twice and was completely dead. With a force on my hand, I raised my hand to take the knife back, and looking at its lifeless corpse, I suddenly felt a little nauseous, and hurriedly turned my eyes away from it, got up from the ground and left the position I had just taken.
I understood everything, everything understood. I should have thought of it a long time ago, and if so, then everything would make sense.
"Mo Li, why don't we leave this cave and find someone else." Fu Lingjun spoke beside me, and obvious worry and nervousness could be heard in his voice, "Although these crocodiles don't know why they left now, who knows if they will come back later?" It's not safe here after all! β
"They're not coming back." I said softly, so calm that I felt a little scary to myself, "Now that this place is safe, and Lin Ya can't move, let's wait here for Lu Haisheng and them to come back." β
After saying that, I turned around and walked towards the cave, and when I entered the cave, my eyes squinted slightly at the wrist of my right hand, and then I looked away and walked towards Lin Ya.
After changing the fabric on Lin Ya's forehead first, and then wiping his body, I looked at the pile of broken eggshells beside me, silently got up to pick them up, and prepared to throw them out of the cave.
After picking up the eggshell, my eyes were drawn to something on the ground in another corner, where Chen Si had just been.
I walked over and crouched down to look at what was on the ground, and in addition to the ashes, there was an open box of cigarettes, a lighter, and half a cigarette that had been burned and generally extinguishedβthe last one Chen Si smoked, and he didn't finish it.
I picked up all three of them, and put the lighter and the half of the cigarette into the cigarette box, and there were four cigarettes in the cigarette box, and counting the half-burned half, there were four and a half in total.
There was a sound of footsteps, I turned my head to look at the entrance of the cave, Fu Lingjun seemed to finally believe that those crocodiles would not come again, no longer staring at the lake, but walked back to the cave, holding her filled water bottle in his arms.
I looked up at her, and we looked at each other, but neither of us spoke for a moment.
She walked to Lin Ya's side, put down the water bottle, took the cloth that helped Lin Ya wipe her body, wet it with water, and took over my job to help Lin Ya cool down.
"I thought you didn't have a good relationship." Fu Lingjun didn't name names, but she and I knew that she was referring to Chen Si.
"I had just filled a bottle of water, and when I turned my head, I saw those crocodiles crawling up from the lake, dozens, or hundreds, I don't know." Fu Lingjun whispered to me about the situation, "I was startled, and immediately shot at those crocodiles." However, I didn't have a backpack for bullets, I only had 20 bullets, and I ran in the direction of the hole as I fired, and before I could get to the direction of the hole, I saw someone rush out. β
Fu Lingjun helped Lin Ya wipe his body, and then took the fabric on Lin Ya's forehead to change it, but the tentacles found that it was what I had just changed and didn't need to change it again, so he just touched it and retracted his hand.
She continued, "I originally thought it was you, but when I saw it clearly, I realized that it was Chen Si. But what I didn't expect was that she seemed to be looking for death, and ran straight at the crocodile, and then"
"I shot to save her, but in about two or three seconds, she was eaten by several crocodiles, and the rest of the wreckage was dragged to the lake." Fu Lingjun said and paused slightly, thinking that it was definitely not a good experience to watch a person being torn apart, "You will know what happened after that, those crocodiles began to leave and did not attack me anymore." β
I didn't speak, I looked at the cigarette case in my hand, and then at the unburned half of it that I picked up. I raised my hand and put the half of the cigarette under my nose and sniffed it, the strong smell of tobacco was a little choking, but it unexpectedly also made me feel a sense of peace.
I finally calmed down, and once again experienced the death of someone around me, but I still couldn't remain unmoved. Maybe Chen Si before she died and died, because she didn't really exist in my world. But after listening to her words, I couldn't exclude Chen Si from my world.
I knew that this was not Chen Si's purpose, and she never wanted to enter my world, but what she said, the fragile and heavy truths she showed, did turn into a blood-stained blade, cutting a hole in my world, and the whole person entered my world.
Perhaps, everyone has an unknown past, and everyone has a wound that has never been spoken to others. Some of these wounds have healed, leaving only a scar, which is considered inhumane. And many more wounds, which never healed and could not heal on their own, needed to be healed, who needed prescriptions, but no one noticed them, and only allowed them to fester, pus, heal and tear on their own.
It's like the car accident in 2005, like Lu Haisheng's lost memory, like a nightmare that Chen Si can't face and overcome.
However, thankfully, there will be a person in this world who will find the wound, will help cut away the ulceration, will help squeeze out the pus, will prescribe the medicine needed, and will accompany the wound until the moment it heals.
The person who healed my wound was Lu Haisheng.
And the person who cured Chen Si was Fang Ruoxi.
Yes, cured. I believe that Chen Si has been healed, when she sacrificed for us when she walked out of the cave, when she had the courage to face death, I have reason to believe that Chen Si is real.
If the soul has a color, then it must be the original pure white.
I looked at Fang Ruoxi, who was still asleep, and put half of the cigarette in my hand into the cigarette case. Fang Ruoxi didn't know that he had unintentionally saved someone, I think the kindness in this world was probably like this, always unintentionally, saving a soul.
"Speaking of which, we were so noisy just now, Fang Ruoxi didn't even wake up." Fu Lingjun noticed my gaze and shifted the topic to Fang Ruoxi, "Seeing that she is still sleeping very well, is she on good terms with Chen Si?" β
I was slightly stunned when I heard Fu Lingjun's question, looked down at the cigarette case in my hand, and turned my head to look at Fang Ruoxi who was sleeping.
"Good." I whispered, "They're good friends." β
"That's it," Fu Lingjun was also a little depressed, "Then do you want to wake her up?" β
I shook my head, "No, just let her sleep." β
I stood up, put the pack of cigarettes in my personal pocket, and began to slowly recall what Chen Si had said before, she not only used her life to protect me, Fang Ruoxi, Fu Lingjun and Lin Ya, but also presented all the truth to me.
I think Chen Si is a much smarter person than me, and she understands many things before me.
It's a pity that I didn't find out until she died.
