Chapter 22: The Aftermath of the Shipwreck
As soon as he tied the two children with his tentacles, the octopus immediately fled to the depths of the sea. www.biquge.info Lin Dui and the little girl were dragged down and fell into the water together, and in the struggle, Lin Dui poked his head out of the water to call for help on the shore, but the tide rolled over like a mountain, swallowing him into the sea. When Su'er saw this scene on the shore, she realized that the little master was really going to die, and she didn't realize a "boom" in her head, and she fainted on the beach and didn't know who was going to die. The tide was roaring towards the beach, He Ye could only hold her legs and grit her teeth and drag back, the black beans ran around at the water's edge and screamed, seeing that the tide was submerging, the little master did not retreat but advanced, and rushed to the sea with his legs. He Ye didn't have time to take care of it for a while, and it was too late to drink it anymore, the small body of the black bean met the impact of the white waves, and was pressed under the water by the tide in an instant.
The tide head slapped his head, and the sea water poured into his mouth and nose, Lin Du was a little dazed, and he just subconsciously grabbed the octopus tentacle with his only right hand that could move, trying to break it open, but his insignificant strength could not shake the other party at all. Because he was tied together, his body was close to the girl's body, and his face was almost next to the girl's, and when he opened his eyes in the water, he saw two faint blue dots shining under the other party's eyes. The girl was not as panicked as she imagined, but she was even more miserable than Lin Dui, both arms were bound strongly, and she tried to break out a hand to catch the tentacles of the octopus, but she couldn't.
The deeper you enter the water, the heavier your heart will be, and the more intense the feeling of suffocation. The two children could feel each other's bodies writhing and struggling, but their strength was too small to resist the star beasts in the water. Lin Du frantically swung his fist to hit the octopus tentacles, but he was already small and weak, and he was even weaker when he punched in the water. The strong feeling of suffocation made him want to breathe heavily, but all he opened his mouth to swallow was the salty seawater, and the premonition of death gradually enveloped him like the all-pervasive seawater. He felt that the black vortex in front of him had produced violent fluctuations, as if something was trying its best to rush out, but something was blocking it, no matter what, it couldn't rush out, only a wisp of emotions mixed with anger, worry, and sadness floated out, making him suddenly think of the sister named Zhang Yao.
But I didn't have time to think about anything, and I was going to die. His thoughts flew out of his body, and the remaining strength gradually returned to nothingness, and the lack of oxygen made him fall into a semi-fainting state, but soon, his feeling became a little clearer, and he felt that his lips were touching two soft petals, and a stream of air that his body longed for was flowing into his mouth, slowly awakening every cell in his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw the girl's face again, innocent and fair, with her hair floating in the water like aquatic plants. Her eyes were closed, her lips facing his, and she was constantly breathing air into him.
Lin Du was full of surprise, he didn't understand why he suffocated her, but he didn't, and even had the strength to save himself. Could it be that she is a cultivator and has the ability to breathe underwater? But she doesn't seem to be at the age of cultivation, and if she really cultivates, she doesn't need to tumble and roll over when she fights with Zhao Hai. I didn't have time to think too much at the moment, the danger was still there, and the octopus was still desperately dragging the two of them into the deep sea, and just breathing was not enough for them to escape.
Lin Du punched the octopus again, although he knew that it was useless, but there was nothing else to do. He only hoped that he could wield the power that he could use to fend off spiders in the woods, and there might be a little hope, but the strange power refused to appear, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was real or false last time. Now they don't know how deep they go into the sea, and the deeper they go into the sea, the slimmer their hope of escape. The instinct of survival made Lin Dui's punch harder than a punch, except for persistence, there was only persistence, and the sudden turn of events occurred after the most hopeless persistence, and suddenly there was a punch with black light shining, breaking through the water like a withering and decaying water, like divine help. The punch hit the octopus tentacles with great penetrating power, and it was no longer a futile tickle. The octopus was caught off guard, and the tentacles couldn't help but loosen up, Lin Dui was overjoyed and immediately wanted to struggle out, but the tentacles swept up in an instant, and firmly bound him again, but this time both arms were tied, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to swing his fist.
It was just at this moment that the girl opened her eyes, and the bottom of her eyes glowed with a beautiful sapphire sheen. She took advantage of the moment when the tentacles loosened to break out her right hand and firmly grasped the tentacles that bound the two of them. A little blue light bloomed in the sea, and became more and more dazzling, at first like a spinning turbine, then like a blue sun, like a burst and burning, and the glow was brilliant. For some reason, the octopus's tentacles spread out as if they had lost their strength. Lin Duzheng was ignorant, not knowing what was going on, but was pulled by the girl with one hand, only to feel that her arm was tough and powerful, far from being comparable to herself, slightly surprised, I saw the girl's right hand struck out, and the blue wave stirred up a huge ocean current, rolling the octopus's mountain-like body out of the hundred-meter, turning around and fleeing for life, and the surrounding fish, shrimp, turtles and shells of all sizes also fled in all directions. With the help of the impact, the girl pulled Lin Dui to swim out in reverse, like a shuttle and an arrow, she was like a little mermaid, swimming in the water as if flying in the sky, and quickly took Lin Dui out of the water and swam to the shore.
There is only endless sparkling on the water, and the figures on the shore are like black spots. Lin Du breathed in the humid air of the sea, and the joy of almost dying was mixed with surprise and ignorance, and he was dragged by the girl to paddle through the waves. He guessed that the girl was either really a cultivator, or had a method similar to that of a cultivator, but at first her hands were tied and she couldn't use it, and as for why she didn't use it when fighting, it probably had the conditions to use it, such as it could only be used in water. Lin Du had gradually adapted to the many wonders of this world, and if he encountered something incredible, as long as he explained it with his cultivation, it would be foolproof.
"Thank you for saving me. After a moment of respite, Lin Duan hurriedly thanked the girl.
The girl had a small face, and she didn't look at him, nor did she say a word, but swam forward with all her might.
Lin Du looked at her face, and suddenly remembered that she was the girl who gave her chocolate, and she was from another world like himself! Yes, she was right. After being brought to this world by the old grandfather, the two separated, and I don't know what happened to her in the past few months, and she also has the ability to be a cultivator, but I didn't expect the two to reunite here, and she also saved herself, what a coincidence!
Lin Dui's heart swelled with a belated joy of reunion. But he always felt that the girl looked at him strangely, as if she didn't know herself. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you remember me?"
The girl looked at him with some confusion, still ignoring him.
"You gave me chocolates to eat," Lin Du continued, "and you gave me tissues to wipe my face." ”
The girl frowned and asked, "Chocolate?"
"Well, that's ...... , that's ......" Lin Du didn't know how to answer. She didn't even know what chocolate was, what was going on, she was wrong, but she really looked exactly like that girl. In a blink of an eye, Lin Du suddenly thought, didn't he also look like the young master of the Lin Mansion? Isn't the mother here also the same as the mother in the other world? There may also be a person here who is very similar to the chocolate girl, maybe she is!
Did you really recognize the wrong person? Lin Du felt a little disappointed in his heart. He actually wanted to find that girl, because she was the only one who was the same as himself, from that world and that city, and had the same sickness. The girl in front of her was not her, but she looked so similar to her, which also brought Lin Du a strong sense of intimacy, not to mention that she also saved herself. It's just that it's really hard to explain what chocolate is. Lin Dui was thinking about how to answer, but he felt that the girl was pulling his arm and suddenly softened, and the strong and powerful hand regained the strength that a six- or seven-year-old girl should have, and she couldn't hold herself anymore.
Lin Dui's body sank down, and he subconsciously paddled his limbs and began to gouge. He is not a good swimmer and can only do a simple dog planing style. In the rush of fluttering, he heard the girl panting and saying, "When the time comes, I can't take you anymore, let's try to swim over together." ”
Lin Du didn't quite understand what "it's time" meant, and only guessed that her strength was probably limited, but she was still trying her best to pull herself. Lin Dusk paddled hard and looked up at the shore, there was still some distance, but he could already see the figure clearly. In the shallow water on the shore, two girls, one big and one small, were standing side by side, jumping and waving excitedly to them. That's He Ye and Sister Xu'er.
Su'er, who fainted on the beach, was washed by the sea water and was finally awakened by He Ye. When he woke up, he thought that the young master was swept into the sea by an octopus, and immediately sat in the water and cried, He Ye also wiped his tears sadly, feeling that Lin Du was brought to the beach by himself, and it was his responsibility to die. Just crying and crying, he glanced at the sea in the distance, but saw that the two black dots were slowly approaching the shore, so He Ye hurriedly pulled up the whack, and the two of them looked at the two black dots nervously while wiping their tears, and when they finally saw that it was Lin Du and another girl, the two finally broke into tears and laughed.
Lin Du tried to swim with the help of the girl, but he was not good at swimming after all, and after a while, his arms were sore, and he swam more and more slowly, no matter how good the girl was, it was extremely difficult to drag a boy of the same age, and both of them gritted their teeth and tried their best to support it. Lin Du was a little worried about whether he would encounter sea monsters such as octopuses again, although there were very few star beasts and fierce fish in the offshore waters, but if he could meet the first one, he might be able to meet the second. As soon as he thought about it together, he felt that something had bitten the placket of his clothes, and when he turned his head in surprise, he saw a small black and fluffy head emerging from his side, accompanied by a "woo" sound.
Black beans!
Lin Du was surprised and delighted. Black Bean actually went into the water to pick him up. It took the placket of the little master's coat in its mouth, and its four little short legs kicked the water hard, for fear that he would sink into the water again, and wanted to drag him ashore as soon as possible. Lin Dui's heart was filled with a trace of emotion, and his sour legs and feet suddenly had a little more strength. He gasped and said to Black Bean, "Come on, Come on, Black Bean!" Black Bean "whined" twice in his throat, grabbed his clothes, and swam more and more vigorously.
Closer to the shore, He Ye also jumped into the sea, swam over and pulled Lin Dui, three children and a dog, and swam back to the shore side by side, everyone was wet. Luckily it was summer, and the kids were just exhausted and didn't feel very cold. As soon as she landed on the shore, Su'er ran over and hugged Lin Du in her arms, stroked his hair over and over again, tears couldn't help but flow out of her eyes, and she muttered excitedly: "It's okay now, it's great, the young master is fine!"
He Ye just stood next to him and smirked, two rows of jagged teeth shining white in the setting sun. Black Bean shook the sea water on his body, and kept rubbing Lin Dui's ankle with his fist-sized little head.
"Sister Su'er, Twilight is worrying you. Lin Dui knew that she had almost caused a catastrophe, and looked at Su'er's crying red eyes, and obediently reached out to wipe the tears from her face.
"It's my fault that I didn't protect the young master, fortunately, the young master Jiren Tianxiang is in danger, it scared me just now!" Su'er was extremely glad in her heart, in case something really happened to Lin Duan, how could she explain to her wife? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask again: "Young Master, how did you escape back?"
"She saved me. Lin Du said, gesturing to the girl on the side. But when I looked sideways, the place where the girl had been standing was empty. Looking towards the sea, she found that she was standing at the edge of the water, using a branch to reach the bucket floating in the water. It was her wooden barrel, and the shrimp and crabs in the barrel had long since run clean. She lifted the barrel out of the sea, and without looking at Lin Dui and the others, she walked barefoot along the beach. Under the sunset, her slender figure looked extremely lonely, and somehow, it reminded Lin Du of her days in another world.
"Who is that little girl?" Following Lin Dui's line of sight, Su'er also noticed the girl walking along the coast.
"She is a wandering orphan who has no parents and father," He Ye hurriedly said, "She came to Shashui City half a year ago, and she lives in the Tanah Lot Temple in the west of the city, and she is often bullied by the children in the city, but I have never bullied her, and I have given her something to eat, but she never wants it." ”
"Why not? isn't she a beggar?" asked Su'er, surprised.
"No, she's not a beggar, she doesn't beg, she usually rushes to the sea to pick up seafood in exchange for food. He Ye replied.
Picking up seafood for food?Then she didn't pick up anything today, she would definitely starve, right?Lin Du became even more worried about the girl. He will not forget that the girl ran back into the sea to save him, and was swept over the barrel by the waves in order to save him. If it weren't for that, she would have returned home safely and securely. He pulled the corners of Su'er's clothes, raised his face and asked, "Sister Su'er, shall we take her in?"
Su'er looked at Lin Dui, and then at the back of the girl walking forward with the wooden barrel on her back, and said with some embarrassment: "It depends on Madame's meaning, wait for Madame to come back in the evening, and then make a decision." (To be continued.) )
