Huddled in the lower corner of the small cabin, with his long and thin arms wrapped around his legs, curled up into a ball, looking like a small snail from a distance.
The wooden windows, which have been corroded by the sea water all year round, give off waves of sea smell.
The sea outside the window is glowing with a faint blue light, which is reflected through the wooden windows and onto the ceiling of the room.
In my ears, a thunderous sound came from far to near, getting higher and louder as I got closer, like thousands of troops galloping towards me with a thunderous roar.
Then, huge waves slammed against the hull of the ship, and a violent impact was transmitted from the hull to everyone in the cabin.
The "little snail" was like a delicious ingredient in a chef's iron pot. It was easily tossed up and then landed hard on the cold straw pile on the deck.
The "little snail" seemed to be weakly cursing the bad weather.
He leaned closer and listened, and from his chapped lips, he muttered vaguely,
"I can't die...I can't die...Ling'er~Xiao'er~don't be afraid...my brother will definitely save you...I can't die...I can't die...
.”
"Bang~" There was a muffled sound, as if something, following the crash of the waves, passed through the broken wooden window, jumped into the room, and fell heavily to the floor.
The "little snail" followed the sound and glanced feebly
A small fish as big as a palm, glowing with a faint blue light, opened and closed its mouth vigorously, and thumped helplessly on the deck of the cabin that smelled of sea.
An idea popped into "little snail's" mind unconsciously. This is a fish that lives in the Cape Light Sea, called blueback seabream.
It’s edible!
Ready to eat!!
It’s edible!!!
A burning feeling of hunger instantly hit the "little snail"'s brain from his stomach.
The "little snail" used its hands and feet together, like a dexterous ape, to crawl over quickly, pressing down on the smooth fish body with one hand, and quickly digging into the gills of the fish with the other hand.
The fish's tail stiffened, and it lost its original lively energy.
The "little snail" dragged the blueback snapper, following the rise and fall of the waves, like a snail, and crawled back to the corner of the room covered with dry straw.
The "little snail" hid in the straw, endured hunger, and looked at the blueback snapper in his hand. After the blueback snapper dies, the blue shimmer on its body will disappear quickly.
This blue-spine seabream was very strange. The belly of the fish actually exuded a slight greenish-gold color. Lin Lu pinched the belly of the blue-spine seabream with his hand. There seemed to be something hard in the belly of the fish.
Pull the fish head aside, grab the gills and twist them hard, then pull hard, and the gills and internal organs will be pulled out together.
Putting the blueback seabream into his arms, Lin Lu put the fish's internal organs in one hand and quickly groped with the other hand, then squeezed it up from the bottom of the fish's stomach. Slowly, a piece was covered with green patina.
The simple bronze ring appeared on the hand.
With the faint blue light, "Little Snail" looked at the bronze ring in his hand. The surface of the ring was slightly engraved with many hollow patterns, but they were rusty and mottled, so they were not very clear. Several mysterious words were engraved on the back of the ring.
The slight blue-gold brilliance overflows from the strokes of these mysterious words on the back of the ring.
"Haha, this is definitely a treasure!" "Little Snail" raised his brows slightly, thinking in surprise.
"Little Snail" tried the simple bronze ring on each finger without thinking.
"I'm only nine years old, and my fingers are still too small." "Little Snail" sighed and said to himself.
"It only barely fits if it's worn on the thumb."
"Wear it first and put it away later. Otherwise, if the supervisor on the ship sees it, it will be taken away and maybe even beaten." "Little Snail" sighed and thought in disappointment.
With.
After putting on the bronze ring, "Little Snail" remembered the blueback snapper in his arms.
The burning hunger in his stomach began to hit his brain again. He was really hungry~~
Blue Ridge Snapper is an ordinary fish produced in Cape Light Sea. It feeds on seaweed and has a strong reproductive capacity. The meat is quite delicious. However, it has many bones. Although its whole body emits a faint blue light and is very beautiful, it is not considered valuable.
Fish species.
Every time the tide rolls in, the seaweed in the water is swept to the surface, and blueback snappers will float to the surface in groups to feed.
At this time, if you look down from the sky, the entire sea surface will be blue, beautiful and spectacular.
"Damn it, this blueback snapper still has so many fish bones!" Because he ate too quickly, the "little snail" had a fish bone stuck in the gums of the upper back molars in his mouth.
The "little snail" licked it hard with his tongue, but the fish bone didn't move at all. He had to open his mouth wide and stretched out his hand to pull out the damn fish bone.
As the fish bone was pulled out, a small stream of blood flowed unconsciously from the finger to the ancient bronze ring.
The surface of the bronze ring suddenly burst out with green-gold light.
With the help of the light, the "little snail" could clearly see the hollow carvings on the surface of the ring: Beside the ancient tree, a spring water gushes out and merges into a river. There seem to be fish and shrimps playing in the river, and there are green woods and green trees on the river bank.
The endless wilderness extends to the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the river flows back under the ancient trees after circling the ring.
The springs engraved on the ring are gushing, the rivers are flowing, and the leaves are swaying in the wind. All the patterns seem to come alive.
This magical scene was too unbelievable for a nine-year-old child. The "little snail" held his breath, but his heart was beating wildly involuntarily.
This must be a magical baby!
Before the "little snail"'s excitement could subside, the bronze ring on his finger disappeared as the green-gold light faded.
In the corner of the small room, there was only darkness and the beating sound of the little snail's heart.
Another wave of waves came, rushing like thunder. Once again, the "little snail" was tossed up like food in a pot and then fell heavily to the ground.
Then, the cold sea water and water vapor pouring in from the wooden window, along with the smell of sea, made the "little snail" completely wake up from the shock just now.
The "little snail" caressed the position of his thumb involuntarily, and then sighed. Rather than losing a magical-looking ring, he had to live strong. His parents' life and death were uncertain, and he was demoted as a slave.
Ji, brother and sister are still waiting for him to rescue.
The scene just now might be just an illusion, or a joke played by God on this poor man.
"Little Snail" is not a pessimistic person. On the contrary, he is very optimistic and strong. Otherwise, he would not be alive today. He understands his current situation. He can have loss and sadness, but he cannot be immersed in it.
After clearing up his mood, "Little Snail" picked up the blueback snapper in his hand again. This time he ate it very carefully, even the scales, which had the strongest fishy smell.
He...want...to...live...down...to go!
