Chapter 96—Besib 3

    Life and death has always been a heavy and easily depressed topic, whether it’s adults or children – especially these children are not like their peers elsewhere Such thoughts are simple and shallow, and each of them wears black mourning clothes for their loved ones or neighbors. Some children have even heard it in person, but they have witnessed the cruel murder, the breathing stopped, the body is cold, and the life is instantaneous. Occasionally, can't be retained... Occasionally, the warm blood and brain with a sweet smell will fly directly to their eyelids and shoes - this is not the hot air, the warm sea, the bright sunshine, the fresh and delicious Food and even the mother's hugs and prayers can cover up and eliminate.

    Bishb, soaked in the sea, unnaturally twisted his neck. He grabbed his hair and looked a little uneasy, perhaps because it was too exposed. The relationship between Poseidon Island and its own secrets - but the black eyes are not too much regrets in the eyes of olive oil - it is very rare. People often say, "Don't cry for the spilled milk," but many times, even adults will be firmly controlled by unreasonable remorse. They blame the people all day, do nothing, and indulge in the dark mud of the soul. I can't and don't want to extricate myself.

     "We still have to do something that we can’t use," a boy swam over, a whispered suggestion: "Since it has arrived here, Welcome our new friends, let's play a fun old trick." He always stared at Sasha when he spoke. The boy was black and thin, with a pair of sharp yellow eyes and a long nose. The children gave him There is a nickname 'nail,' because he is small and thin, but fierce and stubborn. If someone is annoyed, he can be embarrassed, because even if he is broken by his old man's whip, he will I bite a few pieces of meat from you in a bad way. Before Sasha had never appeared, he was the closest friend of Besib, like the body and shadow, but now his status and glory were A white and crisp "urban" child was easily taken away, which made him difficult to accept and understand, that is, sad and angry, this emotion blinded his eyes and ears, he did not want to follow the "Tang" like other children And the willingness of Besib A small outsider, he is still standing on the other side, full of preparedness and hatred.

    "Next time," Besib said: I feel hungry, I remember that Old Andriana will make creamy lobster and apple pie today, both of which have to take hot..."

    " Minutes," "Nail" said, "Before other children have not responded, "Our guests will definitely fall in love with this game immediately, how? He licked his head in the sea and opened his mouth to reveal a malicious smile: "Look, I will come to a demonstration." ”

    Sasha noticed that several children didn't say anything after the "nail" opening, and they turned their attention to him. Their eyes were filled with a little evaluation. From the child, the men just gathered together. I will consciously and unconsciously try to arrange the rankings of others and myself, but in the 19th district, the children are more dependent on their appearance, clothing, achievements, and the level of love of teachers and parents. Part of it, but it does not take up a large proportion, but here is more straightforward and frank, Masoye was born here, the local residents of Poseidon Island advocate violence, love violence, and regard it as a kind of justice - from a certain In a sense, this view is not wrong.

    "Nail" took the lead to swim back to the settlement, he took a deep breath on the sea, and then did not hesitate to sneak into the sea. The sea is very clear, and the children behind it can clearly see that the “nail” has selected a very large holy water shell (ie, because in the past, people used it to shell the holy water). Name), then slowly and gently put the legs into the thick, dazzling coat with a beautiful layer of beautiful patterns - the frightened shell immediately reacted, the bright red coat is like a greedy, hungry The two thin legs wrapped around the "nail" tightly curled inwardly, and the two heavy ribbed shells were closed under the force of hundreds of pounds of muscle. The speed was not as fast as the small shell. Capture, but not as slow as people do - the "nails" that were almost unable to break free in time were almost pinched to their right feet. The edge of the shell of the holy water shell is parasitic with numerous sharp-edged snails, small sea shells and oysters. They are like the fine teeth that grow on the shells of the holy water shell. Because of them, the holy water shells cannot be completely sealed, but the gap left is not enough. Pull out your hands and feet, and the children will not do it.

    Ordinary cockroaches are difficult to open once they close the double shell, not to mention the holy water shells that are thousands of times larger than the size of the cockroach, yes, hot with boiling water蛤蜊 will open the arms, but unless the volcano erupts, no one can boil the entire shallow sea, not to mention that the first thing that will be cooked first will be the unfortunate martyr, so the usual practice of the sea god island residents is to cut directly. Clamped limb.

    Children certainly can’t play with heavy and sharp knives, and even if they do, they may not be able to accumulate the power to cut off their hands and feet in a short time. Courage... But to take a step back, big bleeding can also lead to death... So, if they don’t want to watch their companions suffocate and die, they have a third, the last choice—to the nearest one or more Adults ask for help. The problem is that victims who are imprisoned in the sea often can't wait too long—they can do it only if they can salvage the body with the holy water.

    Every year, children die because of this, but no one has ever severely prevented this dangerous "brave game."

    The nails are like scraped by iron scorpions. From the calves to the toes, there are clear red marks everywhere, and the blood is quickly taken away by the sea. He was sore and his face was twisted, his nose wrinkled and he seemed to cry at any time. But the children have gathered around, they grabbed the "nail" arm, took him to the surface of the water, cheered him, so on the same face, the pain disappeared like lightning, replaced by double triumph and satisfaction.

    Bishb calmly rubbed his eyes. He didn’t cheer like other children, but he didn’t show any disapproval. He patiently waited for the subordinates to calm down, and then sneaked into the sea without hesitation. The double-water shells he chose were not as big as the "nails". It was even more dangerous because the holy water was smaller. The smaller the reserved gap, the faster the closing speed.

     Like "nails", Besib stretched into two legs at a time, but he had a taller and stronger body than his peers. He was more than "nails". Agile and much more flexible, making sure that every child has seen what he has done – after doing a more beautiful job than “nails,” he slams his body like a lively octopus, lightning-fast The huge "lip" of the colorful color was not hurt.

     "That's it, it's very simple." Besib said: "You just need to reach in with one hand. Just pick a big one." He reminded.

    Sasha accepted his kindness and took a deep breath, he sank into the blue warm water, there is a standard in the corner of the holy water shell community The behemoth, standing there like a rock covered with seaweed and parasites, the wheel lines are closely arranged, one layer next to the ground, can not count at all - according to the length of the shell equivalent to the adult height, it may Has lived for more than three centuries.

     Its mantle is lake blue, sky blue, sapphire blue and cobalt blue, dotted with dark blue dots, sanding near it, curious Touching the cold shell, it reminds Sasha of the fascinating work of Mrs. Pompadour of Louis XV. The white background, the golden flowers, the ups and downs of the edges, and the whale skirts of various gemstones. Little Hopkins's fingers reached into his body, feeling very strange, the coat was smooth, dry (can you imagine? in the sea) and warm, it wriggled, strong, greedily sucking Sasha's fingers, hands, wrists, arms... The blue swells in front of the purple eyes, and the coat is madly rolled over, just a few seconds... Bessib’s new friend plunges in, In a blink of an eye, it disappeared by a large part.

    This is something that no one can think of, including "nails". The children suddenly panicked and headed, besides Besib, they tried to sprinkle the salad - but they could not compete with such a big holy water. Or stop the two shells from closing - fill the small holy water shells in the middle or the broken coral reefs buried in the sea sand... The shells continue to slowly but steadily gather, the small similar kind and the reef failed to give it Cause any trouble - they are crushed at once.

    A child’s mouthpiece of “how to do” for Besib, thinking about the black eyebrows of Besib for about three seconds, making a Up gesture.

     Even if the accident happened, his brother-in-law had no way to do it. He also bears the lives of other children. The rescue has cost most of the children. The strength, staying there will be dangerous, they have done their best.

    In a blink of an eye, what made them even more surprised happened, the shells trembled fiercely, and then it could be said that it was quickly opened again, and the sand was "Spit", and Besib rushed to grab his hand and immediately ascended as soon as possible - his lungs were almost blown up.

    The speed is not fast, but the last one to climb the beach is the "nail", the boy looks very bad, his face is gray While the lips are purple and gasping with a big mouth, he feels that his legs are like being fried in oil, and others are constantly adding fire.

    Sasha and Besib fell side by side, the pain of suffocation made Little Hopkins black, and the intelligent creature was always his friend. And accomplices, but he is not a loss of eating them.

    Their wisdom has an amazing place, but it may not be enough at some point; and it’s just instinctive or just want to teach you lessons. It’s not too merciful—big Hopkins is agile enough for people and animals, but under his care, Sasha has suffered several injuries – he can control himself. Before his strength and ability, he was once wrapped in ribs by the otter, and he was bitten by the crocodile. The little monkey and him ran across the rack, his nails almost dug his eyes, and all kinds of birds, mice, and fish were still in the air. There are all kinds of accidents caused by endless insects.

    If it’s not the body that sprinkles from the baby, it’s arguably strong and extraordinary (and, of course, the damn healing ability), Big Hopkin Sis was afraid to leave the dangerous but safe natural refuge for several years in advance.

    I have to make it clear that in this kind of behavior, hostility is only a very small part of it - more, adult beasts are purely in accordance with their own instincts and experience for this peculiar but making them feel comfortable. The child provides protection, just as the blue mantle of the holy water shell made it - it felt dangerous and opened his arms generously.

    It’s hard to express gratitude to Sasha, who is neither a fish nor a shrimp. He almost died in that soft and beautiful chest.

    He just wants to relax, soften his limbs, breathe fresh air and lie on the beach for a while.

    Other children, including Besib, also thought this way, which led to the "nail" being discovered for a while before it was discovered - it was shocking. The bright red whip marks his thighs and waist, criss-crossing, and densely covered blisters. The "nails" are blue and have difficulty breathing. The hands clench their chests.

    Bishb asks loudly, but each can answer what happened, and "nails" can't, he can't speak at all.

    "Jellyfish." Sasha said that he now knows what "dangerous" is. He thought at first that he was attracted by the "nail" that was injured. Sharks - facts are much worse than speculation. The venom contained in the tens of millions of thorn cells in the toxic jellyfish's slender tentacles is more deadly than sharks, and it is silent and elusive. Fortunately, the children of Poseidon Island are no strangers to the jellyfish. They used to be confused because of panic and fear. Since they had the reminder of Sasha, they immediately acted. Bessib took some of the children’s wrists with “nails”. And the ankles went into the sea, washed the place where he was picked up with sea water, and the other children called the adults - they brought vinegar, wine and an injection to remove the jellyfish.

     "We have to go far." Besib yelled, the jealous jellyfish may still be floating around.

    "You saw it?" Besib asked.

    "Only the tentacles of the big jellyfish can leave such bright and broad traces unconsciously," Sasha said. "The sea otter is gentle, and we can see To it - only the lion, the jellyfish or the jellyfish jellyfish will have dozens of feet of transparent tentacles, so people can't get it." He feels a little exhausted. "Can you climb the rock over there? Maybe where can I get it? See them..."
