Chapter 414: Catch the Sea Cat
The bonfire gradually went out, only a pile of dark red remained, the sea was full of stars, a galaxy hung horizontally in the middle, and many fireflies flew out of the forest on the ground, flying and fluttering in the air, and from a distance I thought that the stars had fallen to the ground.
The wind is still blowing, and the waves are still ongoing.
Song You leaned on the coconut tree, wrapped in a blanket, and didn't move, just enjoying this seaside summer night.
Sanhua Niangniang also seemed to be tired of playing with the little sand crabs, and at this time, facing these fireflies that can often be seen in the ordinary mountains and wilderness, she couldn't help but lose a little enthusiasm, and only leaned close to Song You's side, turning her head and staring at these fireflies without blinking, and taking their fluorescence into her eyes. At most, when the fireflies flew closer to herself, she stretched out her claws to grab them in the air, as for whether she could catch it, it all depended on the fate of the fireflies and herself, if she couldn't catch it, she had to grab a handful of air, and it wasn't in vain that she stretched out her hand.
"Taoist ......"
"What's wrong?"
"Sanhua Niangniang has a water god knife, and she will not be killed by the water, do you say that Sanhua Niangniang can go to the sea to catch fish?"
"Sanhua Niangniang has great powers, high mana, and is smart and witty, so she can naturally make her own decisions." Song You paused after speaking, "But I heard that there are big fish in the sea, the largest can swallow a horse in one bite, and there are many kinds that can eat people, and there are too many that can eat cats in one bite, so even if Sanhua Niangniang wants to go into the water, it is a wise choice to be familiar with the water and understand the environment of the surrounding sea first." ”
"How big is that!?"
"The animals in the sea are already bigger than those on land, and the tigers in the fish are probably bigger and more ferocious than the tigers on land."
"Is that as big as a dragon?"
The three-flowered cat opened a pair of novel eyes and turned its head to stare straight at the Taoist.
The sea breeze blew through the fire, setting off many sparks, sparks flew in the air, fireflies were frightened, dark red sparks and bright yellow points of light intertwined, for a moment like a dream.
Song You patiently said to the three-flowered cat:
"If it is a dragon that has not become a sperm, there must be many fish in the sea that are bigger than a dragon, if it is a dragon that has become a dragon, most of the fish that have not become a dragon in the sea will not be as good as it, but I heard that the largest creature in the sea can grow to be much larger than a house, and if it is a spirit, I don't know how big."
"Huh?"
"Isn't it surprising?" Song You turned his head to look at her, "With such a big fish, Sanhua Niangniang will never be able to eat it in her life." ”
"It's going to be eaten by bugs~"
"Sanhua Niangniang is very smart."
"Can we see a fish that big?"
"Fish of that size rarely come to the shore, because the water on the shore is too shallow, they are too big, they will run aground, they just touch the ground, they can't swim, that's bad. But when the time comes, we will take our boat to the depths of the sea, and we will probably be able to see big fish. ”
"Can't see it?"
"Then let's go and find it for Sanhua Niangniang."
"Will the big fish eat us?"
"Then we'll have to be polite."
"And what's on the coast?"
"There is ......"
Song You stared at the starry sky, and also showed a thoughtful look.
It was also the first time in my life that I came to the beach.
The memory is too long, many of them are jerky and dusty unfamiliar words, he had to try to recall, blow away the dust on their surface, list them next to Sanhua Niangniang, and tell Sanhua Niangniang about the appearance and habits of those sea creatures, the general taste, and how to make them delicious.
The cat's eyes widened and he listened very attentively.
Even the occasional firefly that flew in front of her and almost teased her could not attract her attention, and she was immersed in the Taoist's narration and her own imagination.
I don't know how long it took, the fire next to it had completely darkened, and even if the sea breeze was strong, it could only make the burned wood a little more ruddy, and it couldn't set off any sparks.
On the contrary, the stars are getting brighter and brighter.
The cat cowered next to the Taoist, almost clumped, covering its eyes with a white-gloved paw, already asleep.
The Taoist withdrew his gaze and looked at the starry sky.
In this year, Changjing Yidu may still have some light at night, but in this wild land of Langzhou, I am afraid that even the state city and county town have few lights in front of the door, the fishing village is already pitch black, and the fireflies on the ground cannot compete with the stars in the sky, any moonless and cloudless night is a starry feast.
The Taoist couldn't take his eyes off it, and he thought in his heart.
I heard from a young official that there was a real dragon on the sea, although Song You didn't believe it, but he thought that Langzhou was relatively remote and wild, and overseas was outside Shenzhou, maybe it was not in the record of Fulongguan, and the dragon king on the sea was really a legendary true dragon.
Now, it seems that it is most likely not.
But it's only a high probability.
Song You still really wants to see it.
But as the young official said, all the strange things on this sea, whether it is demons or ghosts, gods and demons, or any Yaksha country and beard country, are not as strange as the Lilliputian country.
The young officials are very insightful.
If there is really such a world, where there can be a small person with the size of a palm, and ordinary people will become the size of a palm when they enter, then the magic in it is probably better than the real dragon.
There must be miracles in the five directions, and it will not be difficult to find.
The national teacher said that it was on the Langzhou Sea, and it was not wrong to aim at the most mysterious place on the Langzhou Sea.
But you'll have to stay by the sea for a few more days......
Song You looked down at the cats beside him again, and then continued to appreciate the starlight, I don't know that above the distant stars, there is someone looking at him across the air?
I don't know when I fell asleep.
……
The call of the seabird woke Song You.
By this time it was dawn.
Song You straightened up and looked left and right, and there was an open coconut beside him, a dry cake cushioned with leaves, and a bowl of water. All the bags were placed next to them, the boats were still on the beach, the horses were grazing quietly, but the cats were gone.
“……”
Song You rubbed his eyes and stood up.
The horse glanced up at him.
"What? Isn't this seaside grass to your liking? Song You said to the horse.
"Poof......
The horses only snapped their noses in response.
Song You smiled, first picked up the bowl and rinsed his mouth, wiped his face with a cloth, and then ate the pancakes with coconut milk, and then looked into the distance.
There is a rocky beach in the distance, and there are some small black spots on it, which should be local villagers rushing to the sea. There is a series of footprints nearby, at first it was a small plum blossom, and after leaving a distance, it became a human footprint, but it was also much smaller than a normal adult, all the way to that side.
There was also a shallow pit dug out of the beach in front of him, just in the wet part of the waves, surrounded by a circle of stones, and a little water was stored in it.
Song You was not in a hurry, and went over to investigate.
There were already a few fish, a few crabs, and an octopus.
"It's so diligent......"
Song You suspected that she went before dawn.
It is even suspected that she woke up in the middle of the night.
Shaking his head and smiling, he walked along the footprints on the beach.
As he walked, the footprints became barefoot again, still much smaller than a normal adult.
At the same time, there is also a wolf's footprint.
In the middle, he occasionally entered the range of wave erosion, but it was erased by the waves, and Song You didn't care, but walked slowly over there, as if walking.
Gradually, I saw the villagers rushing to the sea.
I also saw the little girl in tricolor clothes, followed by a big wolf.
The girl was fair, white, not tall, barefoot, but the hem and sleeves of her trousers were very neatly pulled up, and she was carrying a blanket that was bulging and wet, and looked as if it was loaded with something. And she was following behind a dark and thin middle-aged woman at this time, not far or close, about a foot apart, silent, and motionless, just standing behind the woman, staring intently at the woman's movements.
Even if she heard the footsteps on the beach and noticed someone approaching, she only turned her head to look at it, and found that it was her Taoist priest, she didn't say anything, she immediately withdrew her gaze, and continued to stare intently at the middle-aged woman's movements, with a thoughtful look on her face.
Apparently there are more important things to do.
The woman was shaving razor clams.
Sanhua Niangniang is studying seriously.
It wasn't until the woman dug out the razor clams from the beach and held them in her hand that she still stood still, with her eyes fixed on the razor clams in the woman's hand, and followed it into the bamboo basket, that she finally withdrew her gaze and finally had time to turn her head to look at her Taoist priest.
"Are you awake?"
"Wake up." Song You said with a smile, "Sanhua Niangniang got up so early, she won't come before dawn." ”
When the woman heard the voice, she turned to look at them.
"Why did you come here?"
"I'm looking for Sanhua Niangniang."
"Sanhua Niangniang caught a lot of fish and crabs, all of them are big fish and big crabs that you want to eat, as well as the soft octopus you said, you go and guard it, don't be stolen!"
"You can see it here, too." Song You said to her, "And the horses are still over there." ”
"Then you go play too, Sanhua Niangniang will find something to eat."
"Is Sanhua Niangniang also playing?"
"Sanhua Niangniang is looking for something to eat!"
"That's the right thing."
"Go play."
The little girl urged with a serious face.
"I want to be with Sanhua Niangniang. I think it's going to be fun. Song You paused, "Naturally, I don't have the ability of Sanhua Niangniang, so I have to rely on Sanhua Niangniang to help me more." I also want to hear what advanced skills Sanhua Niangniang has found out in the morning to catch the sea. ”
"Hmm......"
The little girl was stunned for a moment.
Catching up with the sea is already interesting, and cats like it too much. But there is no doubt that if you can be with a Taoist priest, it will naturally be a more interesting thing.
Sanhua Niangniang agreed.
So she abandoned the woman who had been successfully stolen by her, carried a blanket, and walked into the distance with two little white legs, looking back at the Taoist priest as she went, and motioning for the Taoist priest to follow. Then he told him as he walked about his experience this morning, dancing and dancing, and showing him his booty as if he were a human child.
