Chapter Ninety-Six: The Sea of Bamboo

"Haha, it's pierced again. ”

I saw that on the edge of the reef, a shirtless young man was holding a wooden stick, and the sharpened end was wearing a fish at the moment.

In the laughter, the sweat that kept oozing down the well-proportioned body evaporated in the sea breeze and sun.

"Erniu, come. ”

In one fell swoop, the stick had moved to the three children who were looking at him in adoration not far away.

When the fish was removed, the young man put the wooden stick back, and then continued to look at the blue water with both eyes, until a certain moment, his eyes moved, and the wooden stick in his hand was pierced out very quickly, this kind of memory like flowing in the blood, fast and ruthless.

"Poof!"

It silently pierced the water, then there was a muffled sound in the water, and then a ball of blood bloomed.

"Haha, two this time. ”

When the stick was lifted out of the water, two fish were seen struggling on it.

He spun around and slung the stick over his shoulder.

"Let's go, let's go home. ”

"It's amazing, this time it's more than Uncle Afu in the village who went out to sea to fish. ”

The three children, the eldest child is called Erniu, the other two are Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ke, they are chattering at the moment, and they are very amazed by Liu Baiyi's skill in stabbing fish.

The young man smiled and didn't speak, in fact, he was also very puzzled in his heart, this kind of action, like a part of the body, many times, it was the body that reacted subconsciously, and he was still a little dazed.

"You go back first, I'll pick up your sister, she should go to shave bamboo shoots now." ”

After some distance, the young man seemed to remember something, handed the stick to the three children, and then hurried to the other end with their little laughter.

It's just that after running for a long time, his pace gradually slowed down, and his eyes looked at his hands with some silence, his fingers were very slender, even beautiful, but he didn't see these things.

He looked at the junction of the five fingers and the palm, which was a thick callus, like that kind of knot, which could be built up over years or even decades, and that was true for both hands.

Today's sun is extraordinarily hot, as if even the air is hot, out of thought, he has turned over three low hills, and then stopped, in front of him, is an endless bamboo forest, like a bamboo sea, and the sound of the waves is different, this is the sound of bamboo leaves in the forest fluttering.

Moreover, this bamboo seems to be different from ordinary ones, green and purple, which is very strange.

He was also very surprised when he first saw it, after all, anyone in this kind of place, seeing this large and amazing bamboo forest is probably not calm.

At this moment, it is the time of bamboo shoots, which is also another thing for the residents of the island in addition to fish, indeed, Liu Baiyi eats fish during this time and really wants to vomit.

As if sensing his thoughts, the girl named Mingzhu usually ran to dig up some bamboo shoots.

Green like the sea, purple like a halo, seeing this, the youth feels not so hot, the bamboo leaves move with the wind, like an endless wave.

With admiration in his heart, he walked in.

Secluded, although there is the sound of the wind, although there are leaves moving, although there are cicadas, but at this time it does give people a very quiet feeling.

"Haha, come to pick up Mingzhu again?"

After walking a few steps, people from the village who were walking back would be laughed and joked.

"I think I saw her in the west just now. ”

Looking at the young man's somewhat embarrassed look, the aunt kindly reminded.

However, after going around a few times, as soon as he wandered, he felt as if he was lost, and suddenly stood in distress.

This bamboo forest is too big.

Just when he was worried, he listened behind him.

"Huh. ”

A voice suddenly appeared in his ears, startling him, and when he turned his head, he realized that it was Mingzhu.

"Lost?"

She said with a smile in her eyes, like two small crescents.

"It's too big, I fell in a hurry just now, and then I can't remember. ”

I don't know why, the young man always felt a little short of breath when he saw this smile, and he suddenly felt that the air he breathed became so hot, and his words stuttered a little.

Despite this, he took down the bamboo basket on the girl's back, which contained a basket of fresh bamboo shoots, exuding a faint earthy smell and a strange fragrance.

However, after these words, the two fell into silence, walking side by side, bamboo leaves flying, scattered on their hair and shoulders from time to time.

"There is a legend in this bamboo sea. ”

The girl jumped step by step, smiling like a living rabbit, while the young man just walked silently with his head bowed, like a goose.

"Huh?

The young man always seemed to be distracted, and he was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting.

"You see this bamboo is verdant all year round, tall and slender, but there is one thing missing from it. ”

The girl replied in response.

"What's missing?"

This time, the youth reacted quickly.

"It doesn't have a heart. ”

The girl's smile faded a little.

"Bamboo has no heart, so it will not change with the four seasons, without withering and glory, and it will not be distorted by wind and rain like other trees. ”

"But the bamboo here is different, it's looking for the heart, do you see the purple light? When the green turns purple, that's when it has a heart. ”

"But, when I grow so big, I've never seen a bamboo that finds a heart. ”

The young man was silent.

"Who told you this?"

He looked at the green bamboo, which reflected the purple light.

"My mother. ”

Mingzhu was also a little silent, but then a smile rose on her face again, extremely bright, as if nothing had happened before.

"Give you a name!"

Before you know it, you have reached the edge of the bamboo forest.

"Good. ”

The youth nodded.

"How's Bamboo Heart?"

Mingzhu then said a name.

"Good. ”

The young man also nodded, as if he couldn't find a reason to refuse Mingzhu's words.

The sky is shining, the green bamboo behind him is glowing with purple light, the girl is jumping around, and the man is like a nerd.
