Chapter 201: Prevarication

Shen Shi didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't quite understand what was going on in this village, so he nodded to Haixing and tried to help her up.

Although the starfish looked pale and haggard, except for the moment when it was bounced away by the inexplicable power of the idol just now, it seemed that there were no other injuries except for some weakness and exhaustion, and after resting in place for a while, he leaned on Shen Shi's support and stood up.

At this time, the smoke and dust caused by the collapsed idol have gradually subsided, and the stones that bounced into the air and fell down also fell to the ground one by one, because just now a large number of people surrounded and bowed around the idol, so there were many unlucky red clam people who were smashed by the broken stones, and at this moment the sound of pain and wailing came one after another, and a few unlucky injured children cried loudly.

The scene was a little chaotic for a while, but soon a few people stood up and commanded everyone, arranged for the injured to move aside, called for treatment and bandage, and called people to come over to clean the venue and sort out the order, so the chaos was quickly pacified, and it didn't take long for the village of Hongbang to return to calm. Just looking at the faces of most of the villagers, there is still a little strange, like fear, sadness, and a little confused, and from time to time they will look at the place where the original god statue that has turned into a mess of rocks stands.

Among the few Red Mussel people who stood up, most of them were strong men, but the first one was a white-haired old man, Shen Shi looked a little familiar, thought about it carefully, and quickly recognized that the old man was Haixing's grandfather, and he was also the village chief of this Red Mussel Village. When he first arrived on this herring fish island, the first time he saw the red clam people in the market was their grandfather and grandson, and he was very impressed.

The village chief's grandfather looked a little solemn at the moment, and it was obvious that the collapse of the idol was also a trivial matter for him. However, compared to the people around him, he was obviously more calm, and after settling down the people around him who were a little flustered, he ordered a few more middle-aged men around him, as if they were going to do something separately, and after everything was arranged, he turned around and walked over to Shen Shi and Starfish.

Starfish's body was still a little weak, Shen Shi helped her to stand up, but found that Starfish's body was a little crooked, and hurriedly supported her with his hands, and used his hands behind her back to share some of the weight. Starfish glanced at him gratefully, and then saw his grandfather walking nearby, his eyes suddenly turned slightly red, and he whispered:

"Grandpa......"

The village chief sighed, shook his head slightly, walked over and touched the starfish's head, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I know you've done your best, and I don't blame you." ”

The starfish bit his lower lip slightly, glanced at the pile of shattered idols, and said with a little choked in his voice, "But, but what about the idols?"

The village chief was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "This is all destiny, not something we can manage." Well, since this matter is irreparable, you don't have to think about it, so that's it. As he spoke, he swept his gaze and glanced at Shen Shi, then frowned and said, "You ......"

Looking at the way he was contemplating, it seemed that he did have some impression of Shen Shi, but after so many years, he still couldn't remember it clearly. At the same time, in the village that calmed down at this time, many village names also found that there were two more people in the village, Zhong Qingzhu stood aside silently, and those red clam people also looked at her a few times, and more eyes quickly fell on the Terran man who was standing in the middle of the field at this moment, and at the same time half-supporting and half-hugging the starfish.

Being watched by so many people, Shen Shi felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and after groaning for a while, he gently straightened Haixing's body while quietly taking a step back. The starfish seemed to have recovered a little at this time, stood firm, and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Shen Shi nodded at her, and then heard Haixing say to the village chief: "Grandpa, he is Shen Shi, when he was cultivating on this Qingyu Island a few years ago, didn't he often come to our village to peel shrimp and work?"

The village chief let out an "ah", looking as if he suddenly remembered, looked at Shen Shi, and said, "It turned out to be you." ”

Shen Shi smiled, nodded in agreement, and then said: "I was passing by Qingyu Island, I wanted to come over to see the starfish, but I didn't expect to see such a scene, here...... What happened?"

The village chief was silent for a moment, but he didn't answer Shen Shi, and his expression became a little gloomy, and after a while, he said to Haixing: "Haixing, there are a lot of things in the village now, and it's still inconvenient for outsiders to be here, so you can send Shen Gongzi and them out first." ”

After speaking, he shook his head but turned around and left first, Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the village chief to directly want to kill people, but it seems that he doesn't have much hostility towards him, it seems that it is because something unusual happened in this village.

At this time, Haixing walked up to Shen Shi's side and said in a low voice, "I'll send you out." ”

Shen Shi glanced at her and frowned, "Isn't it okay for you?"

Haixing Qiang smiled and said, "It's okay to walk a few steps." ”

Shen Shi didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out, Zhong Qingzhu greeted her, Shen Shi shook his head at her gently, and Zhong Qingzhu also remained silent. The starfish behind him seemed to be recovering quite quickly at the moment, and after resting in place for a while, they also followed.

The three of them walked all the way out of the village, and in the process, none of the Hongbang villagers came up to greet or speak, and the village seemed to have been hit hard, and everyone's mood was not high.

After walking outside the village and walking along the beach for a while, Shen Shigang wanted to say something, but heard Haixing speak first, "Shi, don't ask." ”

Shen Shi paused for a moment, smiled bitterly and stopped speaking.

Zhong Qingzhu stood aside, his eyes calm and didn't seem to have any extra emotions, he glanced at the girl of the red clam demon clan, and at the same time his gaze stayed on the very conspicuous clam shell on her back.

Starfish sighed and whispered, "I'm glad you came to see me." ...... in the village Actually, it's not a big deal, everyone's life is still the same as before, you don't have to worry. After a while, if you come back here, everything will be the same as before. ”

Shen Shi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, then I'll come to see you later." ”

The starfish snorted, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked at Shen Shi with a smile, and said, "By the way, I still remember that you promised me before that you would take me to your hometown to have a look." ”

Shen Shi scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Do you still remember?"

Starfish said as a matter of course: "Of course you remember, don't forget, you promised." ”

Shen Shi laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I know." ”

Starfish smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you." Alright, you go first, I should go back too. ”

Shen Shi nodded, turned around and walked a few steps, suddenly paused again, looked at the starfish, and said, "Is it really okay, if you need my help, just ask." ”

Starfish smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Shen Shi stared at her for a moment, then laughed, turned around and said hello to Zhong Qingzhu, and then the two of them flashed and flew into the sky at the same time.

The sea breeze blew, the sea was undulating, and after flying to the sky, Shen Shi couldn't help but glance back, only to see that on the white beach, the girl of the red clam clan was still standing there, waving lightly to the sky. And in a moment, he and Zhong Qingzhu had turned into two arrow-like rays of light, flying towards the distance like lightning, and in an instant, only a little shadow remained.
