The sky was raining lightly, the clouds were very overcast, and the sea in the distance was dark and ominous.

Xue Song walked on the beach wearing a cloak and a hat, and he walked for two days after crossing the mountain before coming to the seaside, and there was a relatively large port not far in front of him, where he could take a boat back to the country of the east.

"Twitter... Chirp..."The faint sound of birds came, and Xue Song looked around at the empty beach a little strangely.

"Where the hell did you get that? Feet? Xue Song carefully identified the source of the sound, and found that it was from the seashells scattered on the beach, and he leaned down to pick up a piece and looked at it.

A bird-like creature shrunk into the shell, its small beak pecking at Xue Song's fingers, and seeing that Xue Song did not react, he hid deeper into the shell field.

"Is this 'Cry Shell'? Doesn't that mean..."

Xue Song recognized the creature in the shell and put it back on the ground, it was a worm that only lived on the sea, with a white body, a sparrow in shape, and a tail like a bean sprout, and only one way they would come to the shore was to sense that a disaster was about to happen in the sea.

Looking at the shells shrunken in the surrounding shells, Xue Song couldn't help but have a headache, in this case, it would be difficult for him to go to sea in the near future, because he didn't know what kind of disaster would happen, he looked at the small fishing village not far away, and rushed there.

By the time he arrived at the fishing village, the weather had begun to clear up, as if the rain clouds had never existed.

Xue Song put away his hat and stood on the cliff wall to look at the sea, there was a group of people busy in the offshore sea, surrounded by a fenced fishing ground, which should be the farmers in the village.

"Papa, papa..." There was a sound of footsteps behind him, a little girl walked over with a bamboo basket on her head, Xue Song looked back and found that there was still a family living on the edge of the cliff.

A man dressed as a fisherman was watching the little girl walk towards the village.

"Excuse me, can you say a few words?" Xue Song shouted at the middle-aged man.

"Who are you?"

Only then did the middle-aged man notice Xue Song, and he looked at Xue Song's strange appearance and asked.

"Passing by, there is a bad omen in the sea here, I think it would be better to inform you." Xue Song said as he looked at the tumbling sea.

"Omen? The middle-aged man was puzzled.

"Well, it's just a bad omen, and I don't know what will happen yet, but there will definitely be a disaster in the near future, so finally notify the whole village to prepare." Xue Song nodded.

"I protect my own life, the village is the village, and it has nothing to do with me." Shaji turned his head and said with an indifferent expression.

"Well, it doesn't have a good relationship with the village." Xue Song scratched his chin and thought that suddenly he saw the man walking down the cliff with a panicked expression, where there were several little girls in a group.

Mina walked home with the food she had bought from the village, and she looked at the deserted beach with some emotion.

Her father didn't like her to communicate with the people in the village, and when she saw other children in the village playing on the beach, she always hid, and only in the afternoon when no one was around, she would come to the beach to tread water and collect shells.

Yesterday when she was collecting shells at the beach, she met a gentle older sister, the daughter of the village shipowner, named Shima. Shima took her to find a lot of beautiful seashells and taught her to listen to the sound of the sea from them.

Putting the grain aside in a clean place, Mina rolled up her pants and stepped into the water,

Walking barefoot on the beach, the pieces of shiny shells, shining in the sun, emitting an alluring light, Mina gently picked one up and put it in the palm of her hand.

"It's so beautiful, will this also have the sound of waves?" She held the shell up to the sun and looked at it for a moment, then put it to her ear excitedly.

"Twitter..."

The sound of birds coming to Muina's ears made her a little stunned, why is there a bird call in the shell?

Suddenly, a feeling of dizziness came, and Mina couldn't control her body and sat on the side.

"Mina, Mina..."When Shima and his two friends came to the beach to play, they suddenly saw Mina sitting on the ground alone, not knowing what was happening, and she couldn't wake up when she shouted, so she kept shaking Mina's body, trying to wake Mina up.

"What's wrong with you? Net daze, are you alright? Mina looked at Shima with a worried look in front of her, and came back to her senses.

"I just—" She tried to tell Shima about the bird cry she had just heard in the shell, but she found that there was no sound, and she couldn't make a sound, she opened her mouth wide and panicked, dancing to say something.

"Do you want me to take you home?" Shima looked at his little friend who was a little panicked and asked with concern.

Mina tried to explain something, but couldn't make any sound.

Xue Song followed the panicked man to the beach,

"What are you doing, go back, why are you just disobedient." Shaji stretched out his hand and picked up the little girl and walked back, "And I just talked to that girl, and I said that I was not allowed to talk to that girl again!" ”

Shima froze in place as she listened to Mina's father's voice in the wind, and Mina kept opening her mouth to say something, but she couldn't make a sound, and her tears kept rolling in her eyes.

"Did you hear the cries of the shells?" Xue Song asked, the little girl's symptoms were very similar to being affected by the cry, and Sha Ji looked back in surprise, he was still wondering why the child had not spoken.

Mina touched her neck and looked at Xue Song and nodded, tears still hanging on her eyes.

The men returned to Shaji's house,

"It is said that it is the cry of a shell, but it is actually an insect that lives in it, this kind of insect is called a hermit bird or a shell, and it usually lives at sea, and once it perceives an abnormality in the sea, it will come to the shore and hide in the shell and wait for the disaster to pass."

Xue Song sat at the door and explained to the father and daughter,

"And they will make a faint bird call, calling their companions to the land, if they hear it in their ears, people will forget how to make sounds, but don't worry, as long as you listen to people every day, you will soon remember."

"Is it..."Hearing Xue Song's words, the father and daughter let go of their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let you mess around, what do you dare to do next time, I can't spare you..." Listening to the voice of Sha Ji teaching his daughter inside, Xue Song stood up, and he still had to go to the village to inform him.

"Don't worry about these little things, the problem is a disaster, I'll go to the village, you guys pay attention to your own safety."

"Ah, thank you..."Sha Ji pulled his daughter to the door and wanted Xue Song to thank him.

...

The sun was about to set, and the fishermen towed their boats back to shore and packed up their tools.

"Disaster in the sea? What calamity, tsunami? Or is a typhoon coming? ”

"It's all happening, so it's better to be prepared!" After Xue Song brought the news, the fishermen discussed it in a gossiping manner.

"We're always prepared, we don't know what's going to happen every time we go to sea, we've always been as careful as possible, thank you for your advice, but there's nothing special to do." A tall, middle-aged man said he was the owner of the boats in the village, and most of the fishermen begged for a living under him.

"That's good." Xue Song took a sip of wine and replied, he was going to investigate again in the evening.
