The salty sea breeze brings a warm climate, and the forests near the South China Sea are full of warmth and life. Near the beach, most of them are rich in aquatic products, attracting a large number of fishermen to go out to sea to catch fish and make a living.

However, one section of the beach is close to a particularly dangerous reef group, and fishing boats cannot penetrate it, so it is inaccessible, and there is only one ship repair shop, and the owner wants to keep it clean.

The sea was still calm that day, but the current below the surface was not calm, and there was no trace of color in the water that flew through the reef until it jumped out of the sea and ran aground on the beach.

Under the irradiation of the sun, the water gradually turns into the five bodies of human beings, and after having four limbs, it forms the prototype of human beings, but it is shapeless and colorless, and it is very strange.

He moved his limbs and stood up slowly, the sun on the beach was very blazing, which seemed to accelerate the formation of his body, only to see that in the transparent body, the internal organs appeared out of thin air, the blood in the blood vessels rushed, and the facial features and skin gradually appeared, and finally turned into a boy with a beautiful face, looking about ten years old.

At this moment, his amber eyes, which had been blank, began to glow, first confused, then wary, and finally dazed.

Boss Yuan has been very worried recently, because he found that his business is getting worse and worse, and if there is no improvement, I am afraid it will be closed. looked at the sun still shining mightily, and was even more worried.

"I came here to mess around, but I never thought that I wouldn't even be able to mix my days, alas!" Boss Yuan said to himself.

But he suddenly rubbed his eyes and looked into the distance, where a ragged boy walked on the beach like a ghost, which made him creep.

His shop has reached the end of the road, and even if there is business, it is someone else who asks someone to run errands to inform him, and he takes the initiative to come to the door.

At this time, he remembered the legend of the South China Sea, it is said that there was a famine in the past, and there was a phenomenon of eating children, it is said that it is the herring fish village not far away, but later people from above investigated, but found that the whole village was dead, and only the bones were left all over the ground......

Later, according to local custom, the bones were buried at sea. Later, when the fishermen went to sea, there were many "ghost child incidents", and those who fled back said that they had encountered a child with tattered clothes...... Thinking of this, Boss Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

He silently prayed not to come, but the boy still walked towards him on his own, and he almost screamed in fright.

The boy seemed to feel a little tired, so he sat in the shade of the tree at the door to rest, he sat comfortably, but Boss Yuan was about to cry, and he didn't even dare to turn his head to look at the boy, thinking that if he couldn't do his business, he couldn't do it, why couldn't he even save his life now, it was really unfavorable!

I can't imagine that I, Yuan Lai, is only in my twenties, and I am going to die young, I am really jealous of talent, I knew that this is the case, it is better to admit it at the beginning, at least I can live a few more years, am I going to die? Dad, Mom, I came down to see you......

Boss Yuan felt sorry for himself for a long time, and found that he was still alive, so he mustered up the courage to look at the boy who scared him half to death, and found that he was actually asleep, and he was a little dazed for a while, ah, isn't this a ghost, why do you still need to sleep?

He sensed that something was wrong, and when he looked closely, he found that the boy had shoulder-length black hair, a ruddy complexion, and all his limbs, and he didn't look like a ghost at all!

In the wind, he felt a little messy, and more ashamed......

But he also breathed a sigh of relief, it was better to scare himself than to scare himself by ghosts.

But how did this boy come from, and why did he come from the sea, you must know that if you go over, it will be the sea, and there are reefs, so it can't be that he swam over.

Having made up his mind, Boss Yuan climbed out of the window and walked towards the boy, he stretched out his hand to shake the boy awake, and asked, "Little brat, where did you hit him?"

At this time, Boss Yuan understood that the boy might be a mute or a fool......

If the boy knew that the man in front of him thought so, he might have to roll up his sleeves and fight with Boss Yuan, although the ragged clothes he picked up only had one sleeve.

Boss Yuan thought to himself, I am also a scholar, although I have been excluded and some of my heart is gone, but I can't watch a fool starve to death in front of me, wait a few days to take him to the town and see if anyone is willing to accept it.

Thinking of this, Yuan Lai sighed, turned around and went into the house to cook a bowl of noodles, brought it out and put it in front of the boy, only to see the boy sniff left and right, directly throw away the chopsticks on the bowl, grab the noodles in his hand, pout, eat it in two or three times, and the corners of Yuan Lai's mouth twitched, he really didn't have much food.

An hour later. Yuan Lai sat paralyzed at the door, wanting to cry without tears, this little fart kid is too good to eat! Just eat his three days of food......

And after eating, I had a full burp, as if to say, well, I'm finally full......

At this time, it was already a little night, and when I looked up, I could even see a faint moon on the opposite side of the sun, quiet as if it were a virgin.

So that night, Yuan Lai kept looking at the moon and couldn't sleep in distress.

And the boy was carried and thrown into the house by Yuan Lai before the night was cold, and he muttered as he walked: "If Lao Tzu owes you in his last life, I will spare you tonight, and I will throw you to the town tomorrow, and see how you gnaw Lao Tzu." ”

When the moon stars were scarce, Yuan Lai couldn't sleep, so he got up to admire the moonlight, thinking that he was also a scholar, should he write a poem to send melancholy?

His shop has two floors, the first floor is a guest house for entertaining guests, and behind a door, there are his tools for repairing ships.

He went down the stairs, but saw the boy snuggling up on the stairs, sleeping soundly. He suddenly became angry and went upstairs again.

The next morning, he went downstairs with a dress of much the same style as his clothes, threw it in front of the boy, and then stretched out his hand to shake him awake, and said, "Put it on quickly, I will help you find a home today." ”

After Boss Yuan led the boy out of the door, he found that the well-dressed boy looked much more pleasing to the eye, and when he turned around to lock the door, he shook his head with a smile and threw the lock away.

He led the boy on the official road leading to Qingyu Town, and his heart was heavy.

But the boy didn't care so much, he felt very fresh, after all, everything was new and full of color to him. He pulled Yuan Lai to lower his head and sniff the flowers, and when Yuan Lai saw that he liked it, he wanted to take it off, but the boy quickly pulled him away, making Yuan Lai inexplicably wonderful.

Qingyu Town was originally quite prosperous, but the impact of that incident many years ago was quite far-reaching, until recent years, the population of Qingyu Town was less than 100 people.

No way, Yuan Lai can only go door to door to ask, at this time it is already noon, most of the fishermen have come back for lunch, the first one Yuan Lai found is a middle-aged couple, although they have been married for almost ten years, but there are no children under their knees, both of them are a little desperate, the woman also knows that she has been chewed a lot of tongue roots, saying that she is a hen that does not lay eggs, but she has no choice, just silently endured.

Hearing the knock on the door, the man frowned, and then glanced at the woman, the woman hurriedly got up, opened the door and saw that it was Yuan Lai, her face was a little soothed, and then she squeezed out a smile and asked: "Boss Yuan only came to the town two days ago, remember that he came to buy rice last time, I don't know what we are doing here this time?"

Yuan Lai obviously also had some friendship with the woman, so he also smiled and said, "I came to bring you good news this time, but I think this needs to be discussed with your husband and wife in detail." ”

The woman was silent for a moment, then turned around and shouted, "Old Lu, Boss Yuan said that he has something to discuss with us!"

The man's brows were not loosened, and he walked quickly to the door: "Mr. Yuan, please come in." At the same time, he noticed the boy, and with some guesses in his mind, he took the cigarette stick and the stool.

There were only a few thick benches in the room, but no one disliked them. After Yuan Lai sat down, he didn't sell it, and explained his intention to the two of them, at the beginning, the two of them were naturally a little happy, but after hearing that the boy's origin was unknown and he couldn't speak, the man's brows were about to twist into twists, and the corners of the woman's mouth were tightly pursed.

After Yuan came to see it, he naturally understood the entanglement of the two people, first of all, it was almost inevitable for them to adopt a child without children.

Secondly, it is not easy to adopt a child, and it is generally only possible to receive children from poorer families who they cannot afford to raise, but how can they not be considered poor as fishermen?

And if you want other people's children, you can basically let them take care of the family.

So when there is a fatherless child who can be raised, both of them are a little happy, but it does not mean that they can accept a defective child.

So when the man's cigarette bar was finished, Yuan Lai had already arrived at the next house.

And the result was not what he expected, no one in dozens of families in the town was willing to take in this poor child.

Boss Yuan led the boy on the way back, when the sky had not yet darkened, and the sun was wrapped in orange light, which made the clouds catch fire. Yuan looked at the boy: "It seems that I am really a good reader." ”

“............”

"Even though you can't speak, I know you're despising me......"
