"Look, Auntie, I picked up a big shell. ”

The little boy held up a yellow and white spiral shell to show off in front of the woman, this spiral shell was bigger than a pear, which was very rare, and the aunt would like it very much.

When the woman saw the shell in the little boy's hand, her eyes lit up, and she took it in her hand and looked at it, but sighed, "Little baby, this is a conch shell." ”

"Conch shells?"

"Yes! Conch shells are larger and much thicker than normal shells. It's a pity that there is a hole in the belly of this conch shell, otherwise the sound of using it as a horn is very good. ”

"Horn?"

The little boy didn't know what the horn was, and what he cared about at this time was that he didn't get praise from his aunt, and he was a little disappointed for a while.

The woman knew the little boy's thoughts, and when she had finished speaking, she stooped down and poked the sand with a long-handled knife, and continued to search for shells. After walking a distance, I found that the little baby who jumped forward and jumped did not follow, and hung behind alone sullenly.

"What's wrong with the baby?"

"Auntie, where is the conch shell? I'll find it for you. ”

The woman was stunned, as if she understood the little boy's thoughts, and smiled: "Silly baby, conch lives in the sea. The sea is so big, and the conch is so small, you have to be careful to find it, and you can't find it. You have this heart, and your aunt is sweeter than honey. Don't worry about it, let's help my aunt find other shells. ”

The woman touched the little boy's brain.

The little boy smiled, and all the unhappiness in his heart was left behind, and he continued to be alive.

"Uh, slow down!"

The change of the little boy made the woman cry and laugh, "This baby has a heart, his nature is not bad, and he is also a companion if he stays by his side." She shook her head, and bent down again to find the shells.

Time passed quietly.

Five or six women on the beach led a dozen children on their way, picking up many shells along the way, and filling most of the several baskets they had brought. However, at this moment, a half-grown child who was running at the front suddenly exclaimed, "Turtle, come and see, there are a lot of turtles here." ”

The cries of the half-grown children attracted everyone, and the scattered children rushed to rush over, and even the women who counted the harvest were also intrigued. The little boy jumped around the woman, and curiously gathered around.

In a sloping sand hole, cute little turtles kept crawling out. Their limbs glide like oars on the sand, crooked, not funny.

"It's not a turtle, it's a turtle. ”

The woman recognized the origin of the baby turtle at a glance and explained: "Most of the turtles live in streams and rivers, and when they are in danger, they can shrink their heads and limbs into their shells. Sea turtles, on the other hand, live in the sea almost all their lives, and only come ashore when they breed, and although they have shells, they cannot put their limbs into their shells......"

The children listened carefully, and the little girl Jiajia suddenly bent down and grabbed a little turtle, "Auntie, it's so cute, can I take one back to feed it?"

The woman nodded, then shook her head again, "It's okay to take it home and feed it, but if there are no fish, shrimp and algae in the sea, it will probably starve to death." ”

Jiajia said "oh", "Then I still won't take it home." She crouched down and put the baby turtle back on the beach, "Little girl, go home quickly! Your father and mother are waiting for you in the sea." ”

The little girl was innocent and kind, so that the onlookers nodded in praise.

The little boy looked at the little girl quietly, his eyes fell more on the little turtle, and his brow furrowed. In his impression, this kind of sea turtle is not unfamiliar, in the distant sea he has seen a huge giant turtle, the back of the giant turtle is more than ten zhang wide, like a moving island, the back shell can stand at least three or four hundred people, which is comparable to this small turtle.

The baby turtle in front of him looked very similar to the giant tortoise, but the difference in size was too big, and the little boy was not sure if they were the same species. I was about to ask the woman for advice, but the little girl Jiajia suddenly exclaimed, "Don't." ”

A white seabird swoops down and pecks a baby turtle crawling in front of it and flapps its wings high. Looking up at the sky, there were dozens of the same birds hovering in the sky, and the little turtles struggling and crawling on the beach were suddenly in danger.

The little boy was a little distracted.

What a familiar scene, didn't a big bird peck a white clam and fly away yesterday!

The little boy was still thinking about the scene when he chased the bird, but Jiajia angrily rushed forward and grabbed a handful of sand in her hand, concentrating on the birds in the sky to prey on the baby turtle again.

"Jiajia be careful!"

The leading woman rushed forward to protect the little girl, and there were more and more seabirds in the sky, and they could swoop down again at any time.

"Auntie. ”

The little boy followed.

"Silly baby, what are you doing here, the seabirds in the sky are in a hurry, but even people are pecking. ”

The little boy looked at the birds in the sky and said, "Auntie is talking about them? I'm not afraid of them." The boy was confident, but the woman was in a hurry, "Don't mess around, go to the other aunts." There were so many of them that the seabirds did not dare to fall. After that, he turned back to dissuade Jiajia: "You go back too, and if you mess around again, your aunt will never take you out to play in the future." ”

The little girl pursed her lips and was delicate.

"No, Auntie, Jiajia wants to protect the baby turtles. ”

The woman had a great headache, and looked back at the little boy, and saw that he had not gone away, and suddenly there were two heads and two heads. "You two babies, you don't listen to your aunt's words, this world is like this, the weak eat the strong. Don't look at the little turtles are pitiful now, but if they grow up and don't know how many fish and shrimp they will eat, you protect the baby turtles, who will protect the fish and shrimp that are eaten?"

"I ......"

Jiajia blushed, unable to refute it at all, but she didn't want to give up like this, so she was in a dilemma. However, the birds in the sky ignored her wishes, and another one quietly fell.

"Dare to come. ”

The little boy frowned, and his body quickly rushed forward to pass Jiajia, and the violent air almost knocked Jiajia down. Jiajia steadied herself and looked back blankly, only to find that the little boy was ten feet away, holding a fluttering seabird in his hand.

"Uh~"

Jiajia's eyes widened, and her mouth opened wide.

"What happened? He caught a seabird, how did he do that?"

Not to mention Jiajia, even the woman in front of her and the dozen adults and children in the distance didn't react. The little boy's speed was so fast that everyone felt like he was teleporting, and the speed of the seabird was much slower than that.

There was some silence.

"Auntie, you are afraid of these birds, but I am not afraid. I'll catch a few more birds for you, and if they dare to catch more baby turtles, I'll catch as many as they come. "The little boy didn't want to show off, he just wanted to prove himself in front of his aunt.

With the sound, the little boy stomped his feet on the ground, and a "whoosh" shot into the sky. The strange speed seemed to be faster than the arrow, and from a distance of seven or eight feet from the ground, he reached out and caught an unsuspecting seabird, and his body was still rising, and he rushed into the flock of birds hovering high in the air.

The hovering flock was twelve or thirteen feet above the ground, and they had never thought that humans could jump so high, and they were so frightened that they scattered in an instant.

"Bang. ”

The little boy landed on the ground and smashed a large circular hole in the sand. Looking up at the sky, the birds have flapped their wings and flown away.

"The baby turtles are safe. ”

The little boy breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed two seabirds and ran to the woman to prepare to ask for credit, who thought that there was a gasp around him, and everyone quickly gathered around.

"Little baby, how did you do that?"

"yes, yes, how did you jump so high?"

"Can you fly?"

"Are you a monster in the sea or a fairy in the mountains?"

......

The crowd gathered around the little boy and gossiped.

The little boy didn't know how to answer, he had fought with three or four feet long Peng birds in the sea, and what was it to deal with a few sea birds.

"Isn't that normal?"

The little boy was confused.

Jiajia's eyes were full of stars, and she looked at the little boy with a look of adoration, "Can you teach me to fly?"

The little boy was dumbfounded, he was born like this, and he didn't know how to teach him if he was so powerful in the eyes of everyone.

"Okay, okay, let's stop arguing. ”

The woman's prestige was high, and once again she stopped the crowd from making noise, and her gaze at the little boy was no longer as casual as before, but solemn with unspeakable awe.

"Little baby, who the hell are you?"
