Verse 144: To beat you is to love you
The light of the setting sun is reflected on this hillside.
In a relatively gentle part of the hillside, a grass hut was erected.
There was a big man lying in the hut, and this was where he lived. The caves in the valley are not without big ones, but the big ones sleep and snore, echoing in the caves, causing a lot of noise.
So, after more and more people protested, the old shipwright took the initiative to take the big man to live here.
When the three of them arrived, the old shipwright came to greet them from afar.
"Bad guy!" the big man cowered in the grass hut, baring his teeth at the needle gold, revealing a fierce look.
"Shut up, you idiot. The old shipwright scolded angrily, "You have to thank Master Needle Jin, he defended you, you idiot, say thank you quickly!!"
The big man was stunned, and he couldn't do it with a grinning fierce demeanor, he scratched his head, and saw the old shipwright staring at him continuously, he was very puzzled and aggrieved: "But Dad, he beat me!"
The old shipwright shook his head: "He was right to hit you." ”
The big man was even more confused, and he also shook his head: "Hit me, no, it's not right." ”
The old shipwright snorted coldly: "Have I ever beaten you?"
The big man froze, and countless scenes immediately recalled in his mind.
At a very young age, he ate a lot.
The ship was materially limited, and he often starved.
The boatwright, tired from the day, just wanted to fall asleep on the ship.
But when he returned to his residence, he was dumbfounded.
The cabin was a mess, and the big man who was still a baby continued to rummage through the cabinets.
"What are you doing? You little bastard!"
"Ah, you ate all my tobacco, you fool, fool!" the old boatman slapped his ass.
Big man: "Wow wow wow......"
Late at night.
The old shipwright was awakened.
"What are you biting me for? You idiot, I'm not a woman, there's no milk here!"
The wounded and angry old shipwright slapped the big man's little buttocks, which was still small at that time.
Big man: "Wow wow wow......"
Wait until the big guy is older.
"Okay, remember? That's how the deck is wiped, with a rag, and water. When there is not enough water, I go to the boat to fetch water. Work hard, and don't keep waste on board, do you understand?" the boatman repeatedly admonished.
The big man nodded: "Dad, you can rest assured." ”
"What the hell have you done, my God!" The shipwright almost went mad as he looked at the cracked and even torn deck everywhere, his hands tearing at his hair.
The big man squatted on the side, puzzled: "Dad, you made me work 'hard'." ”
The boatsmith tilted his head and closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then walked up to the big man and raised his fist.
Bang bang bang.
"Wow Wow Wow ......"
A broadside battle had just ended, and blood was running down the deck.
The boatman bandaged the wounds of the big man: "It's all said, don't rush with your head down, you idiot!"
"But they beat Daddy! they're bad people!" retorted the big man.
"You've learned to talk back!" the boatsmith glared at the big man, "damn it, there's not enough medicine. The bleeding can't stop! Damn, damn it. ”
"Dad, don't worry, I don't hurt. The big man comforted.
"Shut up!" the boatman subconsciously slapped the big man on the head, and as soon as he made a move, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly withdrew most of his strength.
The boatwright's cabin was closed.
The big man crouched outside the door, staring boredly at a flying insect.
Flying insects buzzed in front of the big man, and the sound of men and women gasping and squaddling could be heard in the cabin.
"You damn ......"
"Hehe, madam, don't look at me old, I'm actually very energetic!"
"Uh...... Yes...... Belch...... Ah......h
Bang.
The hatch was slammed open by the big man.
"Daddy!" shouted the big man.
"Ah——!h
The shipwright was furious: "What are you doing!!, don't you move, whatever you hear?" ”
"But Daddy, I hear you, you seem to be hurt. You're wheezing, you're tired!
The boatwright glared at him: "No more?!"
The corners of his eyes twitched, and he ran down from the bed barefoot, and when he raised his foot, he kept kicking the big man: "You said I can't do it?
The big man yelled and scurried.
Back to reality.
Seeing the big man in a daze, the boatsmith repeated again: "Did I beat you?"
"Hit, many times. The big man said honestly.
"I hit you, but did I really hurt you?" continued the shipwright, "no? Hitting you like this is to love you. Got it?"
"If you don't have Lord Needle Gold to knock you out, you will cause more damage and more trouble!"
"Adults beat you for your own good, understand?"
"The big man doesn't understand......" the big man shook his head.
"Huh?!" the boatsmith glared and raised his fist.
The big man nodded hurriedly: "Ming, understood." ”
"Alright. Seeing the boatsmith stabilize the scene, Needle Gold smiled, "It's nice to see that you guys are very energetic." ”
As he spoke, the young leader looked at Cang Su.
Cangsu nodded and walked into the hut.
The shipwright shouted, "Don't move. ”
The big man remained motionless, allowing the beard to watch and manipulate. The beard also beckoned, making the big man bow his head.
The big man, of course, would not do this, but the shipwright quickly gave the order.
Greybeard lifted the big man's eyelids and looked closely at his pupils. And through the boatwright, the big man opened his mouth, held back the unspeakable fishy smell, and looked at the big man's teeth.
After observing this for a long time, Cangsu withdrew from the hut.
Returning to the needle gold, the old scholar shook his head: "My lord, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." ”
"Say, everybody knows you're not a doctor. ”
The old scholar said: "Obviously, there are many physical signs on the big man, indicating that he has the blood of a giant, and he is a half-blood. The blood of the giants is very thin and seems to be low-level. Your Excellency, you know, many giants are intellectually worrisome in their own right. Perhaps it is precisely because of the drag of this low-level giant's bloodline that the big man has never been able to be as smart as ordinary people. ”
"I can't find out the cause of his madness. But I suspect it might have something to do with his head. If I could open his skull and dissect it, maybe I'd find out why. ”
Cangsu's words immediately surprised the boatwright.
But fortunately, Needle Jin immediately spoke: "Don't mention the autopsy at every turn, I understand." The big man should have a good rest these days and don't go to work. Let's go back first. ”
The shipwright hurriedly sent him off.
On the way back, Needle Jin asked Cang Xu: "What do you think should be done with the big man, it's better?"
Cangsu analyzed: "Big men are very valuable. Although he consumes more food, he does more work. He has a lot of hard work. Sometimes a lot of work can be done well by the big guys, while others can do the same work for a long time, and may even fail. ”
"The big guy went crazy, although it caused damage. But according to statistics, because you stopped it in time, these losses are not large. Many people were wounded, but no one died. ”
Cangsu's analysis carried with his usual calmness and sanity.
At this time, Needle Gold looked back at the blue-green algae behind him: "I'm more curious, the big man is crazy and fierce, and he poses a great threat to the ship." Why did the Pig's Kiss keep him on board?"
Cyanobacteria was silent for a moment, and then said, "The main reason should be the old shipwright." He came on board much earlier than I did, and I had heard a lot of people tell me that the old shipwright had done a lot to raise his son. ”
"Master, you have also seen that the old shipwright is very skilled, and ordinary people can't build sea ships. ”
"Of course, because we're always on the lookout for the big guys, and when we're around the big guys, we're all scared. This makes the damage caused by the big man at the time of the onset much less. ”
Needle Gold frowned slightly: "But I saw that the injured people included several crew members. ”
"Yes, master. The big man hadn't been sick since he landed on the island. All this time has passed, and the crew's attention is focused on how to survive, how to escape from here. It's normal to ignore the dangers of big people, and that includes me. ”
"In fact, in order to protect the ship from the danger of the big man's disease, the captain bought a magic prop with a lot of money. It can protect the cabin and deck for a certain period of time, and the big man can't destroy it. ”
"Perhaps...... There is one more reason. ”
Cyanobacteria said this, and his tone was a little hesitant: "We suspect that the illness of big men still has a warning effect." Whenever danger comes, the big man gets sick. ”
"Oh?"
Cangsu doubted: "How many times have we encountered danger along the way, and the big man has never been sick." ”
"Is this accurate?" said Needle Jin frowned slightly.
"Not exactly. "Actually, we can't be sure. ”
"But over the course of the year, there are a few times when soon after the big man gets sick, there is a storm, or a storm, or a big wave. ”
Cangsu asked, "How many times a year does a big man get sick?"
"Twenty, thirty?" Cyanobacteria shook her head, "We haven't counted. ”
Cang Xu smiled, and the old scholar shook his head slightly: "The climate of the deep sea is often like the temper and mood of a young girl in love, which is uncertain. ”
"However, the crew lives in a small cabin, has to work hard every day, faces the endless sea every day, and is very stressful, and anything can be used for sustenance. Therefore, the beliefs of the average seafarer are more religious than those on land. ”
"Your Excellency, allow me to leave. ”
"Go ahead. Needle Jin nodded, he knew that the work of Cangsu scheduling and coordination was actually very cumbersome, and the amount of tasks was also very large.
Separated from Cangsu, the master and servant rushed to the cave where the wounded were staying, to comfort these people.
