Section 21
Yue put her own bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen numbly, washed her hands and opened the door, "Wait."
Standing outside the door was an elder who was much older than him, carrying a small wooden basket in his hand with three long loaves in it. He has short slightly curly platinum blonde hair, emerald green eyes, a brown cloth, and leather boots. It can even smell a faint smell of the ocean.
This is a fisherman, Shen Fengyue made a judgment.
When Abel saw him, with a kind smile on his face, he walked sideways into the room like a man. Shen Fengyue knew that this uncle was acquainted with the original owner.
The system prompts him that this is Smith Arbor.
"Anton, I didn't wait long, but I came here to disturb you. I hope you forgive me. I brought you three long loaves. I don't need to return the basket to me for the time being. It's not too late to send the basket after you finish. "Aber put the small wooden basket on the table, trying to find a place to sit, but when he found that there was no chair, he was a little surprised, "This is..."
Just after closing the door, Shen Fengyue smiled awkwardly, knowing what the old man meant by his unfinished words, "Well, the chair broke not long ago, so I didn't find time to repair it for a while."
He looked around, stared at the empty wooden barrel, turned it upside down, and said politely: "Sit down. You come and bring things with you. Why is it so embarrassing?"
Uncle sat down, shook his head and said, "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Your father was a good brother to me when he was young. Now he is gone, leaving your child alone. How can I not take care of it? ?"
Oh, Shen Fengyue understands the relationship between the two, the relationship is very close, it seems that she has to move around frequently.
During the speech, Uncle saw the fish soup on the table that was still in time, and asked: "Anton, have you still made the fish soup? Can I taste your craft?"
"Okay, I just beg you not to dislike my poor craftsmanship." Everyone said that. I can't refuse. Shen Fengyue smiled and nodded.
When the system heard this, his eyes were red: "He drinks my stuff!"
Shen Fengyue held down the aggrieved system and calmed her hair: "Goodbye, you have finished smelling it, let the uncle have a taste of it, and he will only take a sip and taste it."
System: "Hey."
After getting permission from Shen Fengyue, Uncle picked up the bowl and drank it. After finishing the incident, he didn't forget to chirp and said, "The craftsmanship is good, but it's a bit cold."
The system cried out with a wow, the voice was trembling, and even said: "He lied!!!!!! He drank it!!!"
The sound of the system's crying and chirping in his mind resembled a stereo echo, which shook him dizzy, but he continued to talk to Arbor: "Thank you for the compliment."
"Oh, you kid." Uncle touched Shen Fengyue's head affectionately, and suddenly remembered something, then Hua Feng turned around, "Are you going to the market to buy things today? If you want, you can help me Bring some chocolate? Diane was crying at home arguing about chocolate."
Of course, Shen Fengyue nodded and said okay, and then said: "Do you have any other things?" Although he still wants to chat with Abo about a set of information, but the system in his mind is also crying and noisy, in order to take care of the system. Feelings, Shen Fengyue can only orderly chase away guests.
"Nothing else. Just..." Aber had a good chat with Shen Fengyue. He wanted to stay longer, so he tried to find a topic, and he really found it, "Oh, yes, look at my memory. I almost forgot, some people in the town recently said that they saw the figure of the shark."
"Sailor?" Shen Fengyue quickly asked after receiving a key word related to the world line, "What happened, Smith Arbor."
The system also knew that it was a critical moment, stopped babbling, and listened to what Arbor said with tears.
"Silly boy, have you forgotten?" As soon as the conversation box opened, Arbor began to talk non-stop.
After he finished speaking, Shen Fengyue summarized the following points:
1. Sharks are beasts in the water. They are extremely powerful. They can even single out ten sharks in the water and retreat. The villagers regard shark people as monsters, evils, and ominous things, and they will be executed immediately if they are caught.
2. The cruel and bloody temperament of the shark people is moody.
3. According to the legend of the town, killing the sharks on the altar by the sea can obtain the blessing of the sea god.
Four, shark people are afraid of fire.
"Understand, so little guy, you have to pay more attention to your safety these days." Arbor got up after speaking, "It's too early, I'll go home first. Come to my house for dinner when I have time, Aunt Mary The toast with blueberry sauce is the best delicacy in the world!"
Shen Fengyue got up and respectfully sent away the enthusiastic NPC Arbor, looked at the sky and decided to go to the market to help Arbor buy chocolates and ask for more information.
It was the afternoon when people were sparse in the market. Shen Fengyue went to the store and bought a plate of thick dark chocolate for Smith Arbor. When he came out, he passed a bookstore, stopped and hesitated at the door.
The system said: "Don't you go in and take a look? Maybe you have something to gain."
Shen Fengyue felt that what the system said was quite true, so she put the chocolate in the basket and walked into the bookstore.
Sitting at the counter was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses with a cup of coffee next to him. There was a newspaper spread out on the table and he was reading it carefully, taking a sip or two of coffee from time to time.
Shen Fengyue walked up to the man. The man seemed to be aware of it. He raised his head and said impatiently: "This guest, is there anything I can help?"
Shen Fengyue asked: "Are there any books that specifically explain the shark people?"
""Sea Talk"," the man said, lowered his head to read the newspaper again, and turned to the next page, his attitude was so bad that he said directly, "I want to read, don't disturb me."
Shen Fengyue wisely didn't bother the man again, and after finding this book on the shelf, she went to the man again.
"Ten Nuss coins." The man said without looking up.
Shen Fengyue put the money on the table and went home, and turned to the corresponding number of pages according to the catalog. The beginning is:
[The Sharks are strong and powerful, and their appearance is extremely beautiful. Among them, the male sharks are extremely strong and have a long endurance. A mating time often lasts for 1 to 2 hours. The semen is sufficient for one kilogram and can fill the entire cavity of the opponent. γ
Shen Fengyue was amazed: "This writer has never experienced it. How can he write it like he really experienced it? It takes an hour or two at every turn, I'm afraid it's not going to kill someone."
The system also repeatedly said yes and agreed.
Chapter List Phew, which little yellow croaker are you?
Because the things at the back of this book are highly consistent with what Smith said and what Shen Fengyue knows, Shen Fengyue put it aside after turning it over.
Cleaned up the house, washed and went to bed early.
The next day, the first ray of sunlight through the window lattice happened to hit the closed eyelids of the person on the bed.
Shen Fengyue felt the temperature of the sun's eyelids, and reluctantly opened a gap. The golden light suddenly opened, and in this light, she saw a white shadow passing by the window.
What the hell? Shen Fengyue pulled the quilt over her head and turned over again to fall asleep.
The system suddenly shouted: "Shen Fengyue! A bird dares to steal our fish!"
Shen Fengyue jumped up from the bed with a carp, stooped to pick up the slippers under his feet and threw it towards the white figure. The bird had just caught a small tail of the dried fish, and before it was held firmly, he saw an unidentified object flying towards him angrily.
With a flexible turn, the object flew over with feathers, knocking out a feather. Seeing that Shen Fengyue was coming, the little bird turned over and fell straight on the windowsill, strategically dead.
The knocked-off feather fell lightly on its upturned belly, and the bird's belly moved slightly.
This slight change was seen by Shen Fengyue, and he lowered his head to observe this smart bird.
The yellow mouth and claws, the body is covered by a large white, and the tip of the wings is black.
This appearance, still appearing on the beach, is undoubtedly a seagull.
"It's a little seagull." Shen Fengyue couldn't help but poke the belly of the seagull that was pretending to be dead. It was hot and soft. It was quite elastic with one poke and one release. "Oh, pretend to be dead. What?"
Little Seagull:...
Even if the belly is transformed into something, you must not make any movement at this time!
"Hey, don't pretend, get up." Shen Fengyue didn't expect this stupid bird to be so capable, and couldn't help asking, "Are you a habitual offender?"
The little seagull was still lying there, motionless and silent.
Shen Fengyue grabbed its two feet, hung it upside down and shook it upside down. The little seagull's wings hung weakly because it shook up and down and it was flapped from time to time. No, Shen Fengyue can only put it back again.
He stared for a while, thinking about it, took a small dried fish and dangled it by the seagull's mouth.
The delicacy is right in front of you, whoever doesn't open his mouth at this time is a fool! So the little seagull quietly opened a gap in her mouth, ready to go, and when Shen Fengyue's dried fish swayed again, it suddenly grabbed it one by one, and then thumped up from the ground, and its wings flew. Yaoyao, who fled to the distance, slapped Shen Fengyue's wings by the way before leaving.
It carried the trophy, and flew farther and farther, the two stretched wings in the air turned into W for a while and M for a while.
Shen Fengyue:...
The system was dumbfounded, and even stammered: "Dried small fish, dried small fish, dried small fish...were stolen."
Shen Fengyue angrily turned back and went back to pack his things. He didn't expect that he would accidentally play with the bird instead of being played by the bird.
After getting dressed, he went to the bathroom to wash, and for the first time he had time to look at his appearance in this world.
He has short blond slightly curly hair, which looks a little messy because he hasn't gotten up early. Shen Fengyue raised her hand to grab her hair, and combed them neatly with a comb.
Shen Fengyue wrung out the veil and wiped it randomly on her face. After washing, she felt something in her left eye. She moved to the mirror and opened her eyelid to look in. The azure eyes turned a few times, and it was found that an eyelash had entered the eye, which was a bit tingling.
Shen Fengyue rubbed his eyes with the veil to get the eyelashes out before looking. I have to say that Anton's eyelashes are really long, long and curly, with distinct roots, and they are gently pressed like a crow feather. When I opened my eyes, blue eyes were flowing in the sockets, their eyes were clear, like the sea water near the coast, shallow, with a clean blue.
The double eyelid folds are obvious, and the eye sockets are a bit deep like other Europeans, so when he stares at others, his eyes are extremely deep, and he can see some deep meaning when he looks carefully.
The long years of wind and rain in fishing has turned his white milk color into a healthy wheat color, with some small freckles scattered on his cheekbones. Shen Fengyue made a grimace at the mirror, and those small freckles moved flexibly. stand up.
After finishing packing, Shen Fengyue took the chocolate he bought yesterday and found Smith Arborβs house. After he politely knocked on the door, Smith Arbor opened the door and took the chocolate in his hand. She was grateful: "Thank you Anton. , Come in for a cup of hot coffee?"
Shen Fengyue smiled and shook her head and refused, saying that she still had things to do.
Hearing that Smith no longer wanted to stay, he waved his hand and said, "See you tomorrow!"
Shen Fengyue also waved, and after bidding farewell to Smith, he returned to his small broken house, looked at the boundless ocean and the tied small broken ship under his feet, and sighed quietly.
System: "Do it."
"Sigh." Shen Fengyue sighed again, put the wooden barrel and fishing net into the boat, untied the rope and pulled the boat closer along the rope, stepping into the boat with one foot and demanding the other. The hull shook when stepping in.
As long as he moves, the ship will start to act like a demon, Shen Fengyue confronted it for a few minutes, and then jumped in with the last leap.
The ship immediately began to sway like a mad horse, trying to throw off the brave human from it. The final result of the competition between the two was that Shen Fengyue won. He tame the ship and sat firmly in the ship.
He picked up the oar and paddled into the sea, and stopped when he reached the place. Shen Fengyue threw the net in and then sat on the boat and let the system play the movie in his mind. One afternoon passed quickly. When the net was closed, many fish were caught. A sense of joy from the fishermen's harvest came from within. Shen Fengyue rowed home happily.
After a few days of such a life, Shen Fengyue went out to sea to fish when the sun rose from the coastline. When dusk came, he returned with a full load, reading books, visiting the market, chatting with the system, and enjoying the delicious work success.
On the dangling boat, Shen Fengyue spent peaceful and beautiful days.
The years are really quiet, and the world is stable. But this kind of life will always be broken.
On the 28th of the October of the lunar calendar, at this time of the year, the town will hold activities to worship the god of the sea and pray for it.
The altar is located on the west coast and is built on the shallows closest to the sea. When the tide is high, the sea will overflow the bottom of the altar, encircling the entire altar into the embrace of the sea.
The altar is made of stones and is round in shape. There is a stone pillar in the center, and a stone statue of a sea beast is placed on each side. The edge of the base of the altar is also engraved with complicated patterns.
People from the small town came in twos and threes and were gathered in front of the altar. An old man with white hair and beard walked up to the altar. He was wearing a black robe, painted with gold powder on the moon, and blue paint on his face. Outline a mysterious pattern, holding a wooden scepter in his hand, with a blue spar embedded in the center.
This is the priest.
The blue spar gleamed under the refraction of the sun, and Shen Fengyue couldn't help but estimate the value of such a large gem.
Here, the priest raised his hands up to his head, facing the following humanity: "Dear people, let us present the most solemn gift to the great sea god!"
The person below put his hands on his chest, bowed his head and closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look directly. Shen Fengyue followed the same action, stealing the priest's next behavior.
The priest asked him to bring a huge fish and place it in front of the pillar in the middle of the altar. The fish was so big that it needed two young men to carry it. After the fish was put down, the priest took a long knife, raised the knife over his head, and then chopped off the fish's head with a single knife. He said something in his mouth: "My great sea god! This is the most sincere thanks to your devout believers!"
The next knife cut across the body of the big fish. It may be that the fish bones were too hard. He didn't cut it for a while. The words in the priest's mouth paused, making Li tried to draw the sword, but couldn't draw it.
The people below who had closed their eyes and prayed to the Seagod raised their heads because of the priest's sudden pause.
The priests can only continue to say, "Ah! Our great sea god! This vast sea is your body, and your heart is very broad. We thank you and praise you, because of your power and love. Your will, we have gone through a year of life! This year... ah-" said halfway, the knife was suddenly pulled off, and the priest was pushed back by inertia and staggered a few steps, and then trembled. The body continued to swing the knife at the big fish like an okay person.
The underground people bowed their heads when the sacrifice continued. Shen Fengyue saw all this in his eyes and slightly curled the corners of her lips.
"This year we have harvested a lot. Thanks for your kindness and kindness! Give us endless treasures!" The priest chopped the fish vigorously and divided the fish into two parts, and continued emotionally, "We present the most fat The fish, thank our great and benevolent sea god."
Waving a knife to chop a big fish is really an individual effort. When the priest was old, he had to perform this difficult project himself. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He placed the knife on the ground with one hand and held the handle with the other hand. Lao Yao, said a long list of prayers, delaying time to get more rest time for herself.
"Puff." Shen Fengyue couldn't help laughing out loud.
The priest narrowed his eyes dangerously, turned his head to see which stinky kid dared to make fun of him, but underneath the vast crowd of people all bowed his head and his pious expression, that person really couldn't be found hiding inside.
So the priest could only turn back bitterly, rested for a while and continued to chop the fish. It took almost two hours to chop the big fish to
