Yaohi Hill

"It looks like it's going to rain again."

"Yeah, let's quickly collect the net and go home."

Summer weather is always changing, and this is especially true near the coast.

The blue sky that was clearly a moment ago, suddenly became gloomy like a black curtain, and the endless ocean and sky were the same color, a piece of gray, just like the lingering haze in the hearts of fishermen for a long time.

The fishermen who were still fishing at the moment noticed the obvious change in the weather, and did not dare to stay too much at sea, so they quickly turned the boat around and rushed towards the shore.

It's just that before landing on the shore, there seems to be something more on the shore from a distance, which is very conspicuous-it seems to be the corpse of some kind of animal, piled up together lifelessly.

"Look, what's that?"

One of the fishermen pointed to the shore with some anxiety. Hearing that, everyone looked in the direction he was pointing—there seemed to be a large group of strange creatures piled up on the shore, which was empty before going out to sea, because it was too far away. without being able to identify the exact face.

However, no one answered his question.They are all villagers who have lived by the sea for generations, and they all know each other.One of them knew the reason of the matter, although he didn't want to hide it, he just let out a deep breath and said with complicated eyes: "Don't ask - it's better if you don't know about this kind of thing..."

"Do you mean……?!"

He asked involuntarily, but when he met the other person's eyes, there seemed to be some memory flashed in his mind, the broken picture quickly passed by before his eyes, and the fear he had never had before hit him like a thunderbolt , his legs felt weak for a while, and he almost fell to his knees on the boat.

"Could it be... that thing?"

Still no one answered, but the eyes have revealed everything.

So when these fishermen returned to the shore, no one questioned what was on the shore any more. They tried to keep themselves calm as if nothing had happened, but their trembling hands revealed their true emotions, and no one spoke. , There was an almost dead breath in the air.

The corpses on the shore look very fish-like in appearance—but ordinary sea fish don't have such a huge body and ugly ghost-like face, not to mention, they still retain certain human characteristics, such as Similar to the human head and hair, this can't help but make people guess what relationship they have with humans.

When these corpses were sent into the sea like garbage, the protruding eyeballs on their gray skin seemed to be staring at a certain place, which shocked the villagers who accidentally looked at them. But soon, they closed their eyes, and they seemed to be muttering something, and they didn't even look at those monsters again.

The fishermen who have lived by the sea for generations believe that the gods in the sea can feel their piety.After all, God bless the world, and the holy power must be able to completely purify these non-human, non-fish monsters, so that the fishing village will not be affected in any way.

Watching the corpses of those monsters flow down the ocean to the distance, until they completely merged with the ocean, the villagers let out a sigh of relief and left the seaside in peace.

It was just that one of the villagers stopped walking as if realizing something. He couldn't help looking towards the sea, but he didn't see anything. Those monsters had already sunk into the bottom of the sea and disappeared.

Compared with other people's fear, he felt more pain in his heart.

Everyone understood what it was, but no one dared to say it... And—just now, he found a girl among the corpses of the monster. Although she didn't become a monster, she also There was no fresh breath—she had turned into a lifeless corpse, all because of that unspeakable reason.

Even so, no one proposed to take the girl back for burial. Instead, she was discarded together with the corpses of those humans who had turned into monsters, and left the village far away with the sea water, as if by doing so, bad luck would never come. From now on, this village will no longer be entangled.

But what can he do?

"I hope that the gods can forgive our sins..."

The villagers murmured to themselves.

I don't know when it started to rain heavily.

The seawater, which was originally gentle and rolled up small waves, also became extremely manic, accompanied by violent wind and rain, and violently washed the flat ground piled up with sand on the shore.

A flash of white light flashed across the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder that resounded through the sky and the earth.

At the same time, amidst the raindrops and the sound of wind and thunder, she woke up.

It's just that the moment she regained her consciousness, she was full of suffocation and fear, and felt the salty sea water rushing into her mouth and nose, and she found herself like a powerless boat, no matter how much she thumped, it was useless .

Before the picture in front of her was clearly presented, she soon fell into complete darkness again, and that sense of suffocation gradually disappeared, turning into a kind of nothingness, and the ocean of consciousness returned to its original state.

Then, after an unknown amount of time, she woke up again from the sun.

There was a hot feeling on her face, and her lips seemed to be dry and peeling. She only felt like a fish short of water, extremely painful and dry.

She gradually opened her eyes.

Could it be... Am I still not dead?

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was half-closed by the strong sunlight in the next second. She was dizzy for a while, and her ears were buzzing as if they were blocked by something. It took a long time for her to return to normal. audiovisual.

Unlike the sea water before her consciousness disappeared last time, she was lying on an unknown shore at this time.

Because of the weakness of her limbs, she reluctantly stood up, only to realize that she was wearing shabby clothes, her clothes were worn out, and her hair was even more messy.

Just getting up together, the memories of the original body in her mind quickly flashed before her eyes like a video tape.

In Yuanshen's memory, this girl named Kui, who has the same name as hers, is the daughter of a villager in a fishing village near the sea. Although life is bitter, it is better than peace, because the village is very remote, and the villagers are living a self-sufficient life like a peach garden. self-sufficient life.

Just one day, it was said that someone in the village had brought back the legendary mermaid meat, and after eating it, one would be able to maintain youth forever and obtain the long-awaited longevity.

This is just a rumor, the girl named Aoi never believed it, she just regarded it as a myth.Then one day when she was eating, she found that there were too many dishes, which seemed to be very delicious fish, and Aoi was very happy.Immediately afterwards the tragedy happened—the ignorant girl didn't notice the strangeness, but ate the fish instead, her body fell into a coma in extreme pain, and then she woke up.

Ancient Japan, fishing villages, mermaid meat, girls...

... Isn't this the story of the eight hundred bhikkhunis in Japanese legend?

The similarity is as high as 90.00% nine, it seems that they are probably.

Shi Kui was very desperate about the fact that she had crossed into Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni.

She remembered that in the very famous myth, the woman Babai Kuni, who accidentally ate mermaid meat, had been wandering in the world, spending the years that were almost stagnant for her, and finally passed away in a cave.

Although Shi Kui is happy to regain a healthy body, this era is not the one she was familiar with in the past, not to mention immortality does not seem to be a joyful thing.

She didn't understand why she woke up and lay on the shore. Right now, she was hungry and thirsty, and her whole body hurt as if she had been run over by a truck. Ideas for finding water and food.

In the last period of her previous life, she was paralyzed on the hospital bed. The daily chemotherapy and pain gave her a strong tolerance, but the bursts of hunger in her stomach still made her a little unbearable.

Following the memory in her mind, she tried her best to find the village where she grew up in her memory.

She has no place to go at the moment, and the original owner has never left the village since she grew up. After much deliberation, she has no choice but to go back to that place. The most important thing is—the only relative of the original body in this world, her His father was also in the village.

The village was quite busy coming and going, and some villagers who came out of the village obviously couldn't recognize this as Aoi—the only girl who was thrown into the sea with those people in the village who ate mermaid meat and turned into monsters.Dressed in rags, she looks more like a beggar. Her thin back can arouse people's sympathy. A kind villager couldn't stand it any longer. He handed her a bowl of water and a wild vegetable dumpling to quench her thirst and hunger. , but was stunned when he saw her face——

Shi Kui didn't look up, but quickly drank up the water, and then gobbled up the wild vegetable dumpling.

"……sunflower?"

The other party called her that, and then Shi Kui raised his head and looked at him.

The man's eyes were very strange, his fear could hardly be concealed, and even his voice trembled a little: "It's really you...?"

The author has something to say:

Open a new hole.

This time is probably a lonely journey of a soft girl.

I can't save the manuscript with more than 2 words...

Old pits may be slower to fill... ugh.
