Penglai delusion

When Xi Mo was eight years old, he got into a fight with someone and was pushed to the ground and beaten so hard that he couldn't get up. Mr. Cao came with a cane.

The weather was really good that day, and the pear blossoms at the back of the medical hall were fermented by the sun, and they had a rather nasty taste.

Xi Mo hugged the pear tree, his mouth was full of blood, and he still tried to get up.

One eye was swollen, and he was dizzy, and he didn't notice when the fist that landed on his back disappeared.

Mr. Cao in a bean green shirt was standing under the corner with a smile, watching the two children beat Xi Mo with a fist and a leg, and then scattered away in a little panic when he found himself.

But he doesn't speak.

He watched Xi Mo standing up staggeringly, clenching his fists, and stayed for a while before slurring his words, "Sir, my tooth is broken."

As he spoke, he spread out his palms and looked at the tiger tooth mixed with mud, flower fragrance and bloodshot eyes.

It was a strange pain, itchy and numb, and Xi Mo squinted his eyes in discomfort.

So, now, when a fist landed on the face again, Xi Mo's eyes narrowed again.This familiar feeling let him know that his other canine tooth was also broken.

He was knocked over, his back hit the table, there was another bang, clang, and half of the dishes fell on him.

But this time there will be no more Mr. Cao.As if the fist couldn't stop, it continued to greet his head.

When he was beaten into a daze, he thought, next time he has to think about why he always has to be beaten.

There are so many teeth in a mouthful. My husband said that now is the tooth replacement period, and new teeth will grow out later.

But this does not mean that all your teeth will be knocked out.

After playing for half the night, I finally heard someone come to persuade me.

He was lifted up.The proprietress calmed down the guest who beat him, and then handed over a candy dumpling wrapped in a handkerchief.Xi Mo took it in the palm of his hand, and stood for a while, seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he slipped to the deck, found a place where no one was around, peeled off the candy wrapper, and swallowed the candy and blood.

He didn't dare to touch his face, he just wanted to blow the wind to reduce the swelling.

A man stopped beside him.It's a small Jianghu in the same cabin, named Dong Yi, and this time, like him, he also went to Penglaizhou on the sea to seek immortality.

"Beating a child is really not a thing." Dong Yi waved a chicken feather fan to fan him coolly, "I just want to see you as a bully, and the anger I suffered at the helm on you is enough."

Xi Mo just smiled, "Thank you, Second Brother."

He was well-behaved, although his bruised cheeks were swollen and tall, and he was still pleasing to the eye.

"Oh, I am ashamed to accept it." Dong Yi said with a chuckle, "I still have ointment for removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, as long as..."

"No. I'm really out of money." Xi Mo licked the candy and said, "A map has already cost me all my money."

"Hey, you can owe it on credit." Dong Yi squinted a pair of sly fox eyes, "Brother Xiao Xi has great courage and capacity, and this small amount of money will definitely not be owed to me in the future."

"Then I owe the second brother." Xi Mo knew that he must want to blackmail himself again, so he took the ointment and went to the bilge without raising the price.He took out a short-sleeved blade from under the straw pillow raised by his clothes, went out and held it up brightly to the afternoon sun, and wiped all the swollen places one by one, making it even more horrible to look at.

The guest was a martial artist with strong hands, so more than one tooth was broken.

Dong Yi didn't know what was mixed with this ointment, it smelled very strong and smelt his nose.Xi Mo smeared himself into a miserable green pig's head, and didn't have a cloth to wrap him up, so he could only continue to walk through the back kitchen with the eyes of everyone staring at him.

In the end, the chef couldn't take it anymore, and kicked him out by name, asking him to come early tomorrow and make up for tonight's work points.Xi Mo hugged his dinner and obediently rolled away.

The closer the distance to Penglai Island, the worse the food on board.Of course, this is only for the helpers who live in the bilge.Those big people above still enjoy the daily fresh supply, and they can even wash their feet with clean water that they can't drink.

When the ship left Qingzhou

At that time, Xi Mo would borrow the fishing rod from the kitchen and fish at the stern during the lunch break.A total of two or three sea fish can be caught every day, and an extra bowl of fish soup can be drunk at night.But once you cross Xingsha Island, any fishing is prohibited.Now his mouth is already swollen, and the stone-like pancakes can't even be chewed, and even soaked in seaweed soup, they can't melt.

Xi Mo licked his bleeding teeth, feeling the sweetness of the rice dumpling candy in the daytime was still there.He slowly swallowed the muddy-smelling seaweed soup, put the bowl on the ground, and lay still on the mat.

Zongzi candy was really sweet, even though his mouth was full of saltiness, there was still a hint of cold mellow fragrance around the tip of his tongue.

The setting sun outside can already see through the window.The bright red light crawled in from the black shadow, and stopped on Xi Mo's eyes, piercing him so hard that he was about to fall asleep.After staying for a while, he couldn't sleep because of the pain.I don't know if Dong Yi's ointment is really effective. When he took it out and applied it on his face, he felt that the bitter smell became stronger.

Xi Mo suddenly opened his eyes.

Because the rust gradually overwhelmed the smell of bitter medicine, it was climbing up sticky and densely along the sunset.

He felt his head shake violently, as if his head had fallen off.

Then he heard screams in the distance.

The sun suddenly disappeared.

He raised his head and felt something jumping on the roof of the cabin.The frequency gradually matched the beating of the corners of his eyes, and then a strong smell of blood and light rushed in together, squeezing his eye sockets with pain.

The huge cloud-stopping boat has been split in two.

Xi Mo watched a huge mouth close in front of his eyes, only to realize that the boat was actually attacked by the legendary boat swallowing fish.

The rest of the hull was tipping into the water.Xi Mo grabbed the cracked wall and looked out. Countless arms were waving in his direction, like weeds, growing wildly against the wind.And more people just fell into the sea like ink dots, and after they fainted, they were no longer visible.

Xi Mo's head trembled, he stretched out his hand reluctantly, put the short blade in his arms, tried his best to stabilize his body, untied his belt with trembling fingers, and tied up several mats in one place.Then, hugging the bundle of mats, holding his breath, he jumped and landed in the rising waves.

The fish really wanted to swallow the other half of the boat.

Xi Mo was hit by the waves, he couldn't see anything for a moment, let the sea water pickle his eyes but dared not close them.He heard the thunderous rumble outside, and knew that the boat was completely scrapped now, but he didn't know how many people survived.

Just thinking like this, I felt myself being pushed up by a wave.

Xi Mo was dizzy and his whole body was useless, like duckweed on the bottom of the rain, smashed to pieces by the hurricane waves.It also seems to be standing on the top of the waves overlooking all living beings, only to feel that the sky and the earth are black and dirty, and there are thunderclaps in the ears, and the thick smell of blood and death climbs up along the ankles.

Incomparably cold.

When he lowered his head, he realized that the waves were wrapped in white dead people, and they were pulling himself into the dark vortex of the seabed.

In a daze, there was another big wave sweeping the world behind him.Xi Mo sensed that something was coming in the waves, and was about to turn around when his eyes fell into darkness.In a trance, I only felt a lightness on my body, and suddenly thought that my soul had left my body, and I just died like this.

When I became conscious again, I didn't know how long I had been floating, and where I went.

Without the barrier of the dragon boat, his style on the sea was rough, and his face was scratched with bloodstains.

Old wounds have not healed and new ones have been added.

Xi Mo resisted scratching the wound.Only half of the tube of ointment was also flooded, and he felt that every part of his body was swollen, as if soaked, but there was nothing he could do.

I don't know when, it snowed from the sky.There shouldn't be snow in this season, Xi Mo squinted his eyes, thinking that his death was imminent, and had an illusion.It wasn't until he smelled the familiar coldness that he knew the scene was real.The snowflakes were so cool that they melted on his face.He felt a faint comfort.

Xi Mo's heart suddenly calmed down.

After Xue lived, he finally saw a piece of land faintly.

At that time, the thatch and bamboo mats could not hold up anymore.His stomach was empty, and his hands and feet were numb, but he was full of strength as if returning to the light, and hugged him.

The mat kicks up the water that way.

Perhaps it was also his life that should not be taken.The originally aimless wind suddenly picked up, and in between blows, it pushed him towards the white shore.

Xi Mo reached the shore and took a deep breath.When crawling on the sand with hands and feet, I felt that I really lost the last bit of strength.Knowing that he couldn't rest here, he gritted his broken teeth and forced himself to grind under a tree. Then he leaned against the tree and gasped for breath, almost draining the last breath of life in his lungs.

Bu Suanzi did not lie.Xi Mo thought, the hexagrams bought for three copper coins were actually true.

He gasped and started coughing.The cavity was so hot that the bones ached.

In a trance, he felt that his lungs had been coughed out, and Xi Mo put his head on his knees, and just passed out.

When I woke up again, I didn't know how many days had passed.Xi Mo's body was soaked with a layer of white crystals, and when he rubbed his head vigorously, the flesh on his lower head turned out bloody, scaring him to stop, so he cheered up and went to the wild forest to find some fruits.

The fruit looks very similar to the plums in Qingzhou, with thin skin and juicy, some of them are already rotten, and the juice will flow out after a little pinching.Xi Mo found a clean spring, drank enough water, and ate enough fruits, so he picked up some water and cleaned himself up little by little.

Dong Yi's ointment worked.

All the bruises on his face had faded, only a few minor scratches remained.

Xi Mo also washed the salt crystals in his hair, spread out his hair and lined up the things on his body, counted them, and found that the map that asked Dong Yi to buy was missing.

He thought it was thrown into the sea, or it might have landed on the shore.Then he turned back, thinking about searching.Unexpectedly, when he came out of the forest, he saw more people turning over in the white sand like dead fish.

Xi Mo thought it was the luck of the same boat, so he pulled those few out of the water one by one and taught them to bask in the sun.

Among these people, Dong Yi, who he was familiar with, beat his guest.

He took out a silver bean from the pouch and stuffed it in Dong Yi's hand, then picked up a stone nearby, and knocked out three teeth for the guest.

He found a map on Dong Yi's waist, and compared it, he knew that this was the outer island of Penglaizhou.

"Second brother, we've arrived in Penglai." Xi Mo said to Dong Yi, who was in a coma, "Farewell, see you again."
