[Comprehensive] On how I got lost

Mitt's tavern is a family-run operation, and the three laborers, mother-in-law, Mitt and Xiaojie, are already surplus.

It overflowed after one more young man.

The young man who felt deeply guilty decided to officially operate the industry of the mouse circus, equipped with a plug-in cat as the main god.

He put the black kitten on top of his head. This life that died shortly after birth seemed to stay forever at the moment it left this world. No matter how much it was fed, it always looked emaciated.

The young man launched the ability "spiritual shock" that he had practiced for a long time. He used the most traditional method of a beast trainer, using carrots and pain. Although he could not freely manipulate the mouse to perform acrobatics like the main god, he was still better than other gods. The animal circus is a little more fun.

"Hey." The young man held his face and sighed. These days, without money, even the mouse looks pretty.

He is not the only one setting up a stall on this street. It is close to the port and is prosperous. Not far from him, there is a snake charmer in a big white hat playing the flute. In addition, he was still spitting out his core and kept looking here, with a salivating look.

The young man immediately blocked the cobra's sight with the baffle, and fed the mice a few more pieces of food.

It was getting late, and the drunken twilight gradually dyed the port from the sea, and there was a cold wind, and the kitten above his head yawned a little. The young man cleaned up the booth and decided to train a few white mice or other animals with cute appearance next time try.

Xiaojie, who was dressed in green, called him from a distance. He was holding a fishing rod in his hand, and he seemed to have just returned from the lake. The young man remembered that Mitt often told him to stay away from that lake. Lord of the swamp.

"Let's go home together."

The young man responded, holding the kitten in front of him, took the fish basket in Xiaojie's hand, and walked towards Mitt's tavern.

"There's almost no one there at night."

"Hey" Xiaojie looked around, "It is true that there are more ships coming and going during the day, and it is more lively, but in a few days it will be the Sea God Festival on Whale Island, and many ships will stop here."

There are so many people.

There are also many business opportunities.

Back at Mitte's tavern, the young man took out the monies he had accumulated in the past few days and shyly put them on the table, "This is my board and lodging expenses for the past few days, thank you very much for taking me in."

If he still had the idea of ​​protagonists and comics at the beginning, the daily life of the past few days is enough to nourish the manic depression he brought from the steel forest. There is no infinite greed, no intrigue, there is sunshine, and grass.

Endless joy floods the whole body with the warm sunshine, dispelling all the haze and sorrow, the wind spirit wraps around the tip of the grass, and the thin whispers come from afar, whispering everything about the future, about happiness.

Ah, and the cat on the head.

"Ah"

The kitten that had crawled into a cake raised its paw and rubbed its nose, touched its whiskers, and continued to sleep with its eyes squinted.

The Poseidon Festival is here.

Countless sailors in sweat towels came and went on the port, with the smell of the sea on their bodies, dark and strong, the young man's mouse circus also received a fortune, and the sailors fell with them as the rings floated into the bag Rough laughter.

"You must have made a lot of money by sailing."

The young man chatted, but the sailor showed a puzzled look, and saw him open his purse and shake it out.

"Wow, empty"

the sailor exclaimed.

"I remember there was still a lot when I got off the boat."

The companion patted him on the shoulder, "Who told you to be extravagant, you spent all of it."

"Well, it doesn't matter if you spend it all, anyway, you spend the money you earn." The sailor poked at his companion, "Then you have a treat, we have an agreement."

"No, no, I still have to buy the proprietress a drink with my money, go and go, don't rely on me."

The majesty of the sea seems to be imprinted in the bones of these people, and they have a tough and optimistic soul. When young people look at these sailors, they smile unconsciously. It’s great, riding the wind and waves freely.

The highlight of the Sea God Festival is at night. Countless torches are lit in the dark night. Sailors gather from all over the place holding the burning flames, line up in a long bright dragon, and wind their way towards the mountainside. These flames are so bright that they reflect on the mountainside like daytime. , as if a crater erupted, and the hot magma engulfed everything and rushed down.

They walked towards a cliff on the mountainside where there was an old lighthouse.

Anything old has a legend, and this lighthouse is no exception.

But the sailors gather here, not because of distant and old legends, they come for a new and bright future, hoping that the lighthouse will guide them year after year to split the wind and waves, and cut off all the waves imposed by the sea. jinx.

The Poseidon Festival is not only a festival for sailors, but also a carnival day for Whale Island. The crowds crowded and collided here, turning out one unexpected look after another, and young people were also mixed in. He was like a newsboy from the 20th century. An open suitcase was hung with a long strap across his neck.

The box is filled with all kinds of small things, just suitable for this carnival day of throwing away the sanity.

He is not alone, with a cat on his head and Xiaojie by his hand.

"Aunt Mit worries too much about me sometimes."

Xiaojie scratched his face, "If it wasn't for big brother, he would be locked up at home today."

The young man patted Xiaojie on the head, "So relax to your heart's content today."

He raised his index finger in front of his mouth, "I'll keep it a secret."

The flow of people gathered together formed a raging wave, they didn’t know the direction, so they could only drift with the current. Gradually, the young people and Xiaojie were squeezed into the center, where a big fire pit was burning, and many sailors and local residents danced wantonly with beats. , and some people did not know where to take out the snare drum, and the cheerful sound of the drum splashed with the sparks in the fire pit.

The fiery red light shone on everyone's face, regardless of whether they were dark or white, they all showed the same joyful smile.

"hey hey"

"Oops, I can't dance"

With Xiaojie's exclamation, the two were squeezed into the center of the jumping crowd. Xiaojie was at a loss and began to jump around like a zombie, but this clumsy jump did not attract disgust. Instead, a drummer accompanied Xiaojie The rhythm of the rhythm began to agitate, and chaos brought order.

Xiaojie raised a big smile and called out to the young man who was frozen in place, "Big brother, come here."

The burden of the young idol was heavy, his face was flushed by the fire, and the tips of his ears were almost burned red, even if Xiaojie grabbed him, he couldn't move his arms and legs.

"Go up"

The sailor, who had emptied his wallet during the day, elbowed him from behind.

"What are you afraid of, go up"

There was no ridicule, no malicious pointing, everyone freed themselves to their heart's content, the young man put the box aside, and began to dance with demons in a hurry.

A desolate roar sounded, and the strong alcohol burned through the throat.

"I am a body of flesh and blood that rises loud and strong like light and gold"

An old sailor with a beard and a sweat towel flicked his right hand, and the vibrating string burst instantly, breaking through everyone's eardrums.

"My soul is like a raging fire, gradually rising, sonorous and powerful like a radiance" Note 1

"jump"

The young man's heart swelled up with the passionate drums, and fell to the ground again. He marveled at the strength of this heart, and this almost bursting sense impacted all his thoughts. Stomping hard on the ground, there was a dull rumbling sound, and the ground was also trembling.

He raised his arms, thinking of the flamenco dance he had seen, a dance that was almost on fire, and he swung his arms vigorously. He turned into a Titan, about to tear down the twilight line of the sky in the distance, and shake off the sinking Twilight brings boundless light.

The flames by the fire pond enveloped his whole body, following his excited movements, he was like a flamingo bathing in fire.

"Wow, that's awesome"

This kind of fiery enthusiasm made Xiaojie amazed, and he applauded while dancing the zombie dance.

The kitten on the head of the young man was upside down, like a boat on the wind and tide, but the kitten's eyes were still squinted under the waves, and the old god was grabbing the young man's hair.

The night passed, and the sailors returned to the ship. The young man was out of breath, but his face was white and glowing.

Sailors kept giving him thumbs up, "Amazing, young man."

The young man was shy, and he went back and forth several times, "If I want to join, where should I find you?"

"A sailor's job"

The old sailor who played the piano last night had already changed into the captain's tricorne hat. He patted the young man on the shoulder, "If you want to do it, come to me anytime."

"it is good"

But

Back in Mitt's Tavern, the young man suddenly woke up. Didn't he come here to build a good relationship with Xiaojie, and then hitch a ride and soar all the way?

Is it really good to be a sailor?

He looked at the small suitcase used as a showcase in the room, and was a little confused about what he wanted.

One side is a great future, and the other side is an unknown journey.

He didn't think about this problem until he went fishing with Xiaojie.

Xiaojie next to him was wearing a straw hat, and vigorously swung down the fishing rod.

"You're so energetic, Xiaojie."

The young man is a little lazy.

Xiaojie scratched his head and smiled, "I have been physically strong since I was a child."

"I played all day last night, why don't you go to sleep?"

"Well, no, today there will be very precious fish species in the lake upstream from the downstream to spawn. If you can't catch them today, you will have to wait a year. If you miss this opportunity, I will definitely regret it. "

Ah, sorry.The sun was dazzling, and the young man hid slightly. In his previous life, he seemed to be regretting all the time, because of all kinds of entanglements, he had to divert his steps, and in the end he even forgot what he really wanted.

Speaking of which, what does he like the most about this comic? Is it the unscrupulous evil, or the fight that seems to have no rules?

is freedom.

He longs for unfettered freedom, even though he knows it often costs his life.

Xiaojie wanted to go fishing, but the young man didn't want to disturb him, so he quietly walked to another tree, leaned against the trunk and closed his eyes to rest, with the kitten that would never grow up lying on his head.

Fragments of sunlight passed through the gaps between the dense leaves and scattered wantonly, splitting the light and shadow. He raised his hand and picked a leaf, and with a light blow, the leaf was blown up by the wind.

"Lord, what should I do?"

The kitten didn't want to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. It poked its head out and grabbed the leaf, but the sun irritated its nose.

"Ah"

Sneezed again.
