Tides: Years of Dawn

In fact, Crewe knew in his heart that if something happened the first time, it would happen the second time.Being bullied by the sea crocodile brothers for so many years is also because they have not been held accountable from the beginning to the end.

This time is no exception.

The Crocodile Brothers seemed to think that Crewe would not speak, and swallowed it like every time before.In the past, Geraint was protecting him, but now that Geraint has run away and Gawain has graduated again, Crewe can be said to be truly helpless.

Even if Crewe has many more contemporaries around him because of his improved spells, his nature cannot be changed.Cowardice is rooted in the bottom of the heart, and because of this, they concluded that Crewe would hide the secret even more tightly in order to keep the friends who had finally gathered around him.

Crewe really didn't show much, especially in his final year, when he was out of school for most of the time.But even so, Crewe had a chance to get revenge.

And this time, he wants to end the bullying that the crocodile brothers have bullied him for so many years.

Graduation was imminent, and Crewe was also faced with the two paths of taking a job or participating in the lord competition. Saru didn't ask his opinion at all, and directly helped him fill in the "job" option.

The mentor found Crewe and told him that although Crewe's current ability is not one of the best, there is potential to run for the lord.What's more, the octopuses are born with good brains, maybe Crewe still has undiscovered talents.

Crewe has no objection to this. If the mentor thinks he should run for the election, then let the mentor communicate with Saru himself.He believed that it would take only a few minutes for Saru to make these mentors who had been in school for a long time agree with his evaluation—after all, it was a child with poor talent, just let him work as soon as possible, and don't place too high expectations on him.

Soon after, the mentors and Saru jointly recommended Crewe to Haicheng Hospital.The reason is simple, Crewe is most outstanding in pharmacy.It is not difficult to get a stable position in the Haicheng Drug Storehouse or the research institute of the Submarine General Hospital.

Like so many members of the octopus family, he will spend his whole life in the pharmacy, dealing with a wide range of herbs, without any further ambitions.

Crewe is the youngest son of the family. It is understandable to be the head of a department after five or ten years.

This is the best arrangement for Crewe, and Saru feels that he is already very merciful.

Crewe never said whether he was willing or not, until one month before Jade was going to give birth, Crewe knocked on Saru's door.

Since the sea crocodile has not come to the door so far, he can do another thing first.

He put the letter of appointment in front of Saru, looked straight into Saru's eyes very firmly for the first time, and told him - "I am Gao Wen's assistant, and this is my future function. I will take over from you To be in charge, so I'm not going to work anywhere."

In fact, Crewe didn't know what to do. He was always worried that Gao Wen would come to his door in the next second and tell him that the agreement between them had been terminated.They didn't have a paperwork, so whether they were Gao Wen's assistant or not depended on what the sea monster family said.

But at least, now he can use this reason.

After listening to his words, Saru was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.He laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears.He smiled so beautifully that it was hard for Crewe to imagine how the ensuing anger and fear would cover this face that he had revered and feared for so many years.

Saru said, "You haven't woken up yet? Do you think Gao Wen will continue to let you be the assistant? And succeed me as the head? What qualifications do you have to be our head?"

Saru held the invitation letter in his hand, turned around and pushed it back to Crewe, "This is my last kindness, I hope you are a person who knows how to cherish and be grateful."

After he finished speaking, he laughed again, as if he was watching the biggest joke in the world.

Yeah, Crewe is no longer competitive.Now he almost no longer interacts with the sea monster family, and during his sluggish days, Saru and Elena thought that Crewe had long given up his illusions.

Dreams always have to be woken up. The reason why they only burst out before graduation is out of compassion.

Crewe looked at the paperwork on the table, the distorted handwriting on it was clear for a while, and blurred for a while.He thought for a moment, then raised his head for the second time, this time he changed the subject and asked instead—"Brother, do you really want me to die?"

This question also surprised Saru.In fact, he didn't want Crewe to die, but if Crewe took away his position as the head of the family, he knew what would happen.

Crewe has been a stain on the family for so many years, and the whole family environment is excluding Crewe.In it, Saru has made too many mistakes from the conniving person at the beginning to the main messenger later.

It is impossible for him to let the person he hurt climb on his head, otherwise the future of him, Jade and their children will be even more bleak than that of Crewe.

People in the Octopus family can't learn to forgive, even if he doesn't want to admit it, Crewe will inherit it.

"If you stay away from me, we will no longer pose a threat to each other, and you can survive. But," Saru stopped laughing, and he stood up—"I also hope that you don't kill yourself, you know, we are all It's in our nature to live for ourselves."

Saru was right, it was in their nature.It's just that what Saru didn't realize was that they were all born to die.What's more, Crewe has no faith, he never thinks that the Devil's Palace really exists.His "death" is different from Saru's "death", and is different from the "death" of most sea people who have faith, so the will to survive will also be different.

Crewe has no way out, and Saru's words are telling him - you can only live like this, if you don't accept this ending, then you are going to die.

Crewe was very disappointed with his brother's answer. He was disappointed not only that his brother never regarded him as a blood relative, but also that he was so greedy and aggressive up to now.

In the final analysis, a hurdle that Crewe has not crossed until now is his brotherly relationship with Saru.The survival rate of the octopus is very low. They only have three children in their family. After the elder sister died, only him and Saru remained.Perhaps Crewe's talent was not outstanding at the beginning, but today it can be seen that both sons are excellent.

But at this moment, Crewe finally understood that it was impossible for him and his brother to have a good death.Either he ruined Saru, or Saru ruined him.

In fact, at the moment when the spell was activated, what Crewe felt was not the joy of revenge.He felt sad, a great sadness seized him.

Jade was about to give birth, so when she heard Jade scream, Saru didn't realize that Crewe had activated the spell.

He left the half-conversation and rushed out, rushing into Jade's room.

And Crewe was still staring at the paperwork on the table, concentrating on silently reciting spells that he had already mastered by heart.

He has been serving Jade for nearly a year, and the poison that was sent into Jade's mouth never stopped.He wanted to give up countless times, but another voice in his heart told him - you can not harm others, but at least you have to be capable of harming others in order to prevent yourself from becoming a victim.

So far, Crewe is grateful for his persistence.But after today, he will no longer have the slightest affection for Saru.

The law that blood is thicker than water does not apply to him, so don't take chances.

According to the description in Debbie's book, the first thing Jade felt was the pain like a knife.The pain starts from the lower abdomen and slowly spreads upwards.

After more than half a year of soaking in medicine, the amniotic fluid is already full of ghost weed seeds.It's just that the ghost herb is a symbiosis of animals and plants, so it can parasitize in the living body, or it can petrify itself, turning the fetus into a stone fetus or a stillborn fetus.

After the severe pain, it was the pain of thousands of ants eating away at the bones.The pain tightly grasped the new life that had not yet seen the world, and its festering spread from the bones to the muscles, and then from the muscles to the blood.The fetus in the womb cannot call for help, but it can cry out through the mother's mouth.

Jade was rolling on the bed, and the moment she felt this heart-piercing pain, she had a very bad guess.And after the severe pain, the lower body began to bleed.

The color of the blood was very strange, pieces of red diced meat were mixed with flesh and blood, it was the ghost grass that separated the fetus's body and sliced ​​it into pieces.

Jade rolled from the bed to the ground, and saw something leaking from under the dress again.She felt chills down her spine. She had worked as a doctor in the Underwater General Hospital for many years, and her current symptoms had confirmed her guess.

She thought of Crewe, thought of the extremely vicious chronic poison, thought of the weird creatures on the beach of the Garrison Island, and thought that this medicine harming the fetus is only one aspect of it, and the other aspect is the control of the uterus.

Saru pushed open the door and hastily picked up Jade.

Jade was covered in blood and sweat, she grabbed Saru's hand, her lips parted violently.But she couldn't speak, the pain almost made her faint.

Saru put her on the bed and wanted to call the doctor.

But Jade didn't let go, and Jade knew that it would be pointless to ask the doctor to come again.Their child is dead, and the meat slices everywhere are the crystallization of their love for this year.

Tears overflowed hotly from the corners of Jade's eyes, she regretted it so much.Not only regretted not further controlling Saru's damage to Crewe, but also regretted her taking Crewe lightly.

But how could she think of these.

Crewe had been hurt for so many years, and she thought it was all inertia - Crewe had already been castrated psychologically, even if he encountered injustice, he would never learn to resist.

But the tragic situation made Jade understand that the castration of Crewe was unsuccessful, on the contrary, it was herself who was about to be castrated.

After Crewe finished chanting the spell, he slowly walked from Saru's study into Jade's room.The moment he met Jade's eyes, he felt a bone-chilling chill.

This is the case for most mothers, hurting her is nothing, but hurting her child is tantamount to killing her.

Jade yelled like crazy, and squeezed Saru's hand even harder.

And Saru turned around and saw the murderer who had ruined his hopes minutes ago.

He was shocked and furious.He broke free from Jade's grip and rushed to Crewe without hesitation.He grabbed Crewe's neck with his tentacles and slammed into the wall hard.

The force of the tentacles almost broke Crewe's neck, and he asked Crewe furiously - "What did you do! You dirty thing! What did you do to her!"

But before Crewe could answer, Saru's tentacles relaxed again in the next second.Because Jade was rolling over again, hurting, hurting to the bone.The pain was so painful that it was like pulling out her uterus, and it was like using a knife to stroke the inside of her body one by one.

Saru's eyes were red, and he slapped Crewe on the face.He yelled hysterically—"You shameless guy... If you dare to hurt her, if you dare to hurt my child, I will make your life worse than death!"

Crewe's nose was bleeding and the corner of his mouth was torn.But he is used to it, there are many people who give him slaps and fists, and he doesn't mind one more time.He doesn't need to respond, he just needs to say the spell silently.

Saru could have killed him a year ago, but not now.His death meant removing the control of the ghost grass, and the berserk bug would run amok in Jade's body.They'd gnaw out Jade's guts and pour them out of the holes in his flesh.

The second time Jade rolled from the bed to the floor, the blood stained the mattress, the sheets, the thick carpet, and the beige nightgown.

She was in so much pain that she seemed to be burning in purgatory, she pulled the foot of the bed fiercely, and the whole bed creaked when she shook it.

But she still shook her head hard, she couldn't explain to Saru well, she could only loosen the foot of the bed, and crawled desperately towards Saru.Saru must not be violent to Crewe at this moment, otherwise it will not be Crewe who will die in the next second, but herself.

Seeing Jade in such a mess, Saru was bewildered.He snarled and threw Crewe to the ground, then rolled him up off the ground and slammed him into the wall a third time.The suckers on the tentacles shrank violently, the veins on his forehead popped up, and tears of grief and anger filled his eyes—"I should have killed you...I should have killed you a long time ago, killed you!"

Elena rushed in after hearing the sound, and gasped when she saw the bloody scene.

With a soft touch, she slammed her back hard against the door.

Crewe still didn't speak, he just waited for Saru to continue wrapping him.The spell in his heart didn't stop for a moment, and if it continued, Jade would never be able to conceive Saru's child again.

So Jade took all her strength and weakly grabbed the hem of her husband's clothes. She gasped and begged, let him go, you have to let him go.You can't kill him... otherwise you'd kill me, kill yourself.

Saru was stunned.He looked down at Jade, who was crawling at his feet, and turned his head to look at Crewe, who had never had any waves in his eyes after a while.

The moment Crewe was let go, the pain felt like pressing the still button, and as Crewe fell to the ground, it was suddenly pulled away from Jade's body.

All the ghost grasses stopped moving in unison, leaving Jade paralyzed with exhaustion.

At this moment, Elena came back to her senses, and she also realized what had happened.

She rushed up and said to Saru who was moving Jade onto the bed, "What are you going to do? What are you going to do now?"

Seeing that Saru ignored her, she ran over by herself and tried to wrap Crewe's neck again.She was scared, yes, she was scared.What she was afraid of was not Crewe's harm to Jade, but she couldn't believe that she saw a trace of fear in Saru's eyes.

But just as her tentacles touched Crewe, Jade screamed again.

Saru immediately turned his head and yelled at Elena - "Get out! Don't touch him!"

Elena was stupid, she paused, and suddenly shouted—"You gave up? You gave up now? Your child can be conceived again, but, but aren't you going to kill him? You have to kill him , if you don’t kill him, I can do it for you—”

She stared at Saru, stared at Crewe, her tentacles waved, trying to wrap around Saru's arm, while trying to control Crewe again.

And at this moment, Crewe didn't even want to run away.

What even Saru couldn't do, it was even more impossible for Elena to do it by herself.She is useless, and when Saru's own interests conflict with her, Saru will drive her away without hesitation.

"Shut up!" Saru turned his head, and cursed at Elena vehemently—"Get out!"

Elena's story seemed to end that day.

Stunned by Saru's words, she leaned against the door again.

In order to win Saru's help, she did not hesitate to fall out with her family, and must live with Saru in her own house.She rejected the study that her parents were about to let her inherit, because she thought that only by returning to the main island of the Cracked Rock Islands could she have the life she really wanted.

She assisted Saru to exclude Crewe, and she obeyed Saru's arrangement.She desperately wanted to get close to Gao Wen, and she didn't even care about other people's pointing and talking.

But Saru's "get out" ended her journey, and she knew what her fate would be.She'll be sent back to the Broken Isle where the Separatist Bastards belong, and she'll be ridiculed and taunted by her parents and family.She doesn't want to bury herself in the research institute for the rest of her life, but she will never have a chance to change her identity.

She picked up the glass jug that was set aside, and smashed it hard on the table.The jug cracked, and her tentacles pinched a sharp shard.

Since Saru doesn't do it, she can do it herself.Her two tentacles immediately engulfed Crewe's body, while the human arms squeezed the fragments tightly, stabbing at Crewe with a desperate fight.

She is also an octopus, so her instinct tells herself to keep all possibilities and never give up.

At this moment, Saru also raised his tentacles, and slapped Elena fiercely.He slapped the shards off her hand and slapped her into the corner of the room.

Elena only felt a burst of darkness in front of her eyes, and then became dizzy.The piece of glass slipped from her hand, and the tentacle wiped her forehead, and even wiped out a hand of blood.

Saru would not let Crewe die, even if his hatred was more violent than in previous decades.

Crewe held his lifeline, at least at this moment, Saru could not act recklessly.

Saru gave in, and after Elena ran out of the room crying, Saru knew that he was negligent.He was negligent because of his superiority and ego, and he let an opponent who had never looked down upon him take advantage of him.

He didn't look up at Crewe again, but concentrated on hugging the shivering Jade.His eyes were fixed on the expulsion of flesh, hatred almost burned him.

Crewe stood quietly by the door, looking at the messy room, the bloody brother and sister-in-law.

Saru forgot that the current Crewe was just like himself back then. He was jealous of Debbie and suppressed his anger.The rage grew stronger every day, until Debbie died.

He forgot the surge of hatred at the time, and even at Debbie's funeral he did not shed a tear.He forgot, too, the exhilaration and relief that Debbie had finally vacated his seat.

So did Crewe, even more so than Saru.Because no matter how much Debbie is favored by Clough, she is already Barrow's support.The conflict of interest between her and Saru is not sharp, and it will not kill Saru.

But Crewe, as long as he lives and lives well, will always be a threat to Saru.

Crewe stood at the door of the room for a while, then took a deep breath.He had spoken, and he was going to re-plan his relationship with his brother.

He said, "If you still want to have children, I hope you will treat me well."

He added, "I didn't hurt her uterus, you can still have a future."

He also said, "But the future children please stay for me and let me take care of them to grow up. Otherwise, I will not let them appear in the world, just like now."

Yes, he needed to keep Saru's children.He is a male, if he can really serve as Gawain's assistant all the time, he will have no offspring, but he still needs to hold the pawn to restrain Saru, otherwise Saru's hatred for him will make him take revenge by any means.

If Saru can really recognize his place, then Crewe will treat those children as his own.After that, he will still leave the position of head of the family to the children, as long as Saru doesn't fight for it.

Saru can no longer be the head of the family in this life, but he still has high hopes for the next generation.Even if the next generation wants to stay by Crewe's side as a bargaining chip, Crewe can be taught whatever he wants.

When Crewe left, he closed the door softly.He didn't forget that every time the door was closed too hard, he was reprimanded by Saru.

So in the final analysis, his brother still brought him some good habits, but he can no longer ignite the emotions of fear and reverence.

Back in the room, Crewe thought he was going to cry, but he didn't.He just trembled all over, as if he had walked from an ice cellar.

He sat on his bed and buried his face in his hands.He worked hard to brew his emotions, but in the end he still didn't shed tears.

He had Debbie's handwritten book in his hand, and he didn't know if Debbie had really used this spell on others, and he didn't know if Debbie was as calm as he was when he used it for the first time.

He sat there for a while, then took off his robe and walked into the small pond in the backyard of his room.He changed back into an octopus and submerged his whole body in the sea water.

At that moment he felt an inexplicable emotion—he wanted to go home.

But he was staying at home, and this home had just been turned upside down by him.

He didn't know where he could go back, where he really belonged.
