Chapter 229: Dead Bodies
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The waves crash against the shore, the sound of the current, and the seagulls swirl and fly in the sky.
This is an island surrounded by strange rocks and green forests.
The sun is shining down, and it looks extremely harmonious and cozy, with the occasional crab leaving footprints across the beach.
"Grandpa, today's fishing harvest is not small, it seems that you are right to take me out. ”
On the edge of the beach, a little girl in her teens, with dark skin and long hair scattered like ocean waves, looked extremely well-behaved although her skin was dark.
At this time, the little girl was pushing two and a half person-high buckets with her left and right hands, and there were more than a dozen large fish in the buckets, as well as some fresh shellfish.
Next to her, an old man with a white beard collected his fishing nets from a small boat.
The old man leaned the fishing boat against the shore, tied the rope, and then jumped off the boat.
Feet on the sand, rustling.
"Haha, Gehr, you're right, today's harvest is not small, it seems that there is enough food for the past few days. Grandpa Whitebeard slung the fishing net on his back and walked towards the little girl.
Seagulls are flying, the sun is shining, and the little girl Gehr and Grandpa Whitebeard are walking all the way to the island.
"Grandpa, next time you go to sea, I will go with you. Gehr was bouncing around, pushing two buckets, extremely excited.
This was her first time in the sea, and she had asked for it many times before, but her grandfather had refused.
Because he was still too young, he was worried about danger in the sea.
However, I couldn't bear the little girl's stubborn fighting, and finally after some entanglement, I agreed to the little girl, but this time it was calm and full of harvest.
"Okay, okay, next time I go to sea, I'll take you with me. Grandpa Whitebeard leaned his back and said with a smile.
While Grandpa Whitebeard and Gehr were talking, suddenly the waves broke out, setting off a tidal wave.
The waves were three feet high and swept towards the shore.
"Let's go, Gehr is here. Grandpa Whitebeard, obviously experienced, saw the sudden change in the tide and hurriedly shouted at Gehr.
When Gehr heard this, he hurriedly increased his strength, and pushed the bucket towards the shore.
Grandpa Whitebeard didn't have time to think about it, grabbed the fishing net hard, and hurriedly ran to the depths of the shore with all his strength.
"Whew!"
Gehr gasped and looked at the three-foot high tide.
"Grandpa, what's going on? How can there be such a big tide all of a sudden?" said Gere, with a palpitation.
Grandpa Whitebeard was also panting, and the fishing net had been lowered at some point.
Hearing Gehr's words, Grandpa Whitebeard stood up, looked at the tide, and his brows showed a hint of doubt.
"It's strange, the weather and the wind are not in this direction today, how can the tide suddenly be so high?" Grandpa Whitebeard was also puzzled.
As Grandpa Whitebeard spoke, the tide receded rapidly, as if it had never appeared.
Gehr watched the tide recede and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look, Grandpa, there's someone there!" Gehr pointed to the shore, where a figure lay down.
When Grandpa Whitebeard heard this, he looked over and saw a figure lying there.
"Geer, stay here, grandpa, I'll take a look. ”
After Grandpa Whitebeard finished speaking, he left Gehr and went back to the shore alone.
Gehr hesitated on the spot, but curiosity came up and couldn't help but follow.
"Grandpa, I want to see it too. ”
After a while, the two came to the shore.
The tide is receding, there are still remnants of shells, and even some fish are tumbling on the beach.
Gehr followed Grandpa Whitebeard to the figure, only to see that the man was covered in seaweed, and even had small crabs running out of his body.
"It is estimated that this person should have fallen into the sea, and it looks like he should be dead. "Grandpa Whitebeard doesn't seem to be surprised, he's seen this happen a long time ago.
Those who are swallowed by the sea will eventually fall to the shore with the tide or be eaten by fish in the sea.
Grandpa Whitebeard said, not bothering with the 'dead body', but said to Gehr: "Let's go, the dead body is unlucky." ”
Saying that, the bearded grandfather hurriedly thought about leaving, and Gehr also showed a trace of fear, so he prepared to leave.
But just as the two of them turned around, a cough suddenly came.
"Ahem!"
"Grandpa!" Ger was startled by the sudden sound and hurriedly hid behind Grandpa Whitebeard.
Grandpa Whitebeard's face also changed, and he turned his head to look at the 'dead body'.
"Not dead?"
Grandpa Whitebeard quickly calmed down, and slowly approached the 'dead body' with palpitations.
"Grandpa, was that what he just said?" said Gehr, scared.
Grandpa Whitebeard's voice trembled a little: "Don't be afraid, there is grandpa here." ”
As he spoke, Grandpa Whitebeard squatted down and reached out to pick up the seaweed from the 'dead corpse'.
I saw that the 'dead corpse' had red hair, closed eyes, and was white, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time.
"Grandpa, be careful. Gehr hid behind Grandpa Whitebeard and said cautiously.
Grandpa Whitebeard strengthened his courage, and then stretched out his index finger in the middle of the 'dead' man.
"It's not dead, it's still breathing. After saying that, Grandpa Whitebeard breathed a sigh of relief.
Gehr also came out from hiding behind Grandpa Whitebeard, crouched down and approached the 'dead body'.
"It looks like he was coughing. ”
Seeing the stranger in front of him, Gehr seemed to have lost his fear, and reached out and pressed his hand directly to the chest of the 'dead corpse'.
Coo-coo.
With the squeezing of his chest, I saw that the 'dead corpse' kept coming out of its mouth.
"I ...... Where is this?"
The corpse suddenly opened its eyes, and saw a little girl and Grandpa Whitebeard looking at him.
However, as soon as the words fell, the corpse fell unconscious again.
Gehr looked at Grandpa Whitebeard and said, "Grandpa, this man is strange and pitiful, or we should save him." ”
This is Gehr who has seen strangers for so many years, and there are only her and her grandfather on this island, so when she sees a stranger appear, she is immediately full of curiosity.
Grandpa Whitebeard's eyes flashed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to probe at the dantian of the dead corpse.
"Forget it, just save his life. ”
After Grandpa Whitebeard finished speaking, he took care of the dead body on his back.
Gehr, on the other hand, followed behind him, running happily towards Grandpa Whitebeard.
Coming to the previous shore, Gehr pushed the bucket back towards the interior of the island, while Grandpa Whitebeard carried the 'dead corpse' and fishing nets, and walked towards the island step by step.
The wind still blows on the coast, the sun scatters, and the seagulls fly.
However, no one noticed that a trace of blood flowed into the sea at the place where the 'dead bodies' had stayed on the shore.
The waves rolled over the sea, layer upon layer, and soon the blood was diluted by the sea and vanished.
