Chapter 59: The Wind Blows the Eggshell
In the vast East China Sea, there are many islands. They come in all sizes and shapes, like brilliant pearls set in the sparkling sea. People often use "dotted around" to describe their large number, "like a green chain" to compare the beauty of their scenery, and "a thousand postures" to praise their strange construction.
The islands of the East China Sea are beautiful, but most of them are very small, and the small meaning is that they cannot be "covered by water", as long as the sea tide rises or sets off huge waves, the smaller islands are easily submerged by the sea.
As long as you soak in the sea for a few hours a day, it is impossible for the island to form a climatic "ecosystem", and the seeds of large trees or herbaceous plants blown by the sea breeze will drown before they can germinate.
Therefore, after Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty traveled to the East China Sea, there was a poem that said: "The islands in the sea are barren in ancient times, and the islands are unique in life." β
The island where Zhao Xu and Murong Nana are located is like this, and it will gradually be completely submerged after the high tide every night, which is also the reason why there is no grass on this island.
Murong Nana sat curled up next to Zhao Xu, her head little by little, like a chicken pecking riceβshe was dozing off.
"Whoa!"
The sound of the waves woke her up, even if she had moved Zhao Xu to the high stone of the island, but Zhao Xu was lying down, and the sea water had already flooded, Zhao Xu was washed by the water to a place more than ten meters away from her, thanks to her waking up in time, otherwise Zhao Xu would have been swept away by the waves.
"Poof!" Murong Nana jumped into the water and carried Zhao Xu to the highest point in the center of the island, where there were still a few sharp reefs above the water.
The purple bonfire that had been lit before was still burning, but it was burning underwater, staining the nearby sea water with a strange color.
Murong Nana is already "not strange", as a "ghost", she doesn't think there is anything to make a fuss about the flames that can burn in the water.
"Puff puff. Carrying Zhao Xu onto the highest black stone, Murong Nana spit out the seawater in her mouth.
"I've heard for a long time that there are all kinds of punishments in hell, and now this is it, right?" she muttered to herself, "What are the layers of hell here?
The weather at sea is unpredictable, and the night is no exception, the tide is already fierce enough, and suddenly a strong wind blows in the nearby sea, and the waves begin to grow, and the surrounding sea rises higher and higher, and soon, even the highest reef of the island will be submerged, that is, the whole island will be covered by the sea.
Murong Nana, worried that Zhao Xu was soaked in the sea, picked him up and lifted him high above her head, while she herself crossed her legs on the top of the reef, allowing the sea water to flood her chin.
This scene is very similar to the legendary movie "Titanic", the difference is that the "male protagonist" soaked in the water is played by Murong Nana.
..................
In the second half of the night, the sea finally calmed down, and Zhao Xu also woke up at this time.
His first feeling was that the wind was blowing the eggs, and it was really cold.
Then he found himself naked and facing the sky, and the stars in the sky twinkled and flashed, like the smiling eyes of countless "onlookers", and his sense of shame was bursting.
At last, he felt as if he was being held up by something, and he fell into the sea.
"You're finally awake?" A voice came from under him, Zhao Xu turned his head and found that it was a long-haired beauty supporting him.
Zhao Xu looked confused, except for the expression of "black question mark", he didn't know how to express his confusion at the moment.
Who could tell him what had happened, could it be that he had fought with a dragon and fainted in the sea, and then was saved by a mermaid?
Under the light of the purple fire burning in the sea not far away, he took a closer look at the face of this "Miss Mermaid", and felt a little familiar, and soon remembered - wasn't this Murong Nana? How did she regain her human form?
"We're all dead, and this is hell. Murong Nana said to Zhao Xu with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I killed you, and I am willing to accept any punishment from you." β
"???" Zhao Xu almost believed it, this woman spoke with a serious face, not like a joke.
"I think, I shouldn't be dead yet...... Zhao Xu said speechlessly, and then turned over and fell into the water - it was too painful to be held up by a girl like this, and she was not dressed yet.
"You don't have to jump off, I'm not tired. Murong Nana tried to pick up Zhao Xu again, but was stopped by Zhao Xu.
"Miss Murong, I'm not wearing clothes, you...... You didn't wear it either?" Zhao Xu accidentally saw Murong Nana's choppy waters underneath the choppy water, and quickly looked away - I am a man who just had a girlfriend.
"I know it's hard for you to believe you're dead, and it's hard for a dead person to accept the reality that they're dead. Murong Nana felt even more guilty, "It's all like this in the movie, once you know the reality of your tragic death, you will turn into a ghost." β
"Even so, I have to tell the truth, I confess my guilt, I brutally killed you, even if you turn into a ghost and eat me, I will never hide!" Murong Nana looked at Zhao Xu very seriously and said.
"Miss, I won't eat you, you've watched too many movies...... Zhao Xu said speechlessly, "Tell me first, why are we all in this sea?
"Originally, we landed on a small island in this layer of hell, but then the tide rose and we were flooded, and I have no idea how long it was. Murong Nana said, "Don't you really want to eat me? Can't you remember how you died?"
"Girl, first of all, I know I'm not dead, ok? Second, I remember that you did beat me through at once, but as long as you weren't blind, you could see that you were controlled by that old lady with evil methods at that time, even if I wanted revenge, I should have gone to her, not you, understand?" Zhao Xu said.
"You...... Are you so grudgeful?" Murong Nana's eyes widened: "It seems that you should be a good person, but why would a good person be thrown into hell with me?"
Zhao Xu couldn't help but cover his forehead, this girl is not an ordinary fool: "Miss, thank you for your good person card, but I still have to tell you that this is not hell, it is the world." β
"Impossible!" Murong Nana pointed to the water not far away: "Look, there is a ghost fire coming out of my nostrils, it can burn in the water, how can there be such a thing in the world? And didn't you notice that your wound was completely healed? I can't even see a trace of a scar." β
"You turned into a dragon before! Aircraft carriers are not enough for you to stuff your teeth, what is it to spew such flames?" Zhao Xu replied, "And it is thanks to you that you have become a dragon, my wound has grown, I don't believe you touch the back of your neck, is there a wound?"
"Ahh
"Right, did you touch it?" Zhao Xu said with a smile: "That's what I hit!"
