Deep Sea Diary [Another World]

Dennis, who was blind, went out for a long time. After a long time, he hurried back to the door of Xia Chuan's house without going in, and just shouted through a few broken leaves: "Hey! You two can get out of the cave, they What are you going to do... probably something like a funeral, Laura didn't say it very clearly, anyway, the whole clan will be gathered later, so come out."

The two people in the room stood up straight and looked at each other, then went out the door one after the other.Xia Chuan straightened his crumpled clothes while walking, only to see Dennis who was waiting outside the door glanced at the folds of his shirt with a meaningful look, and said brightly on his face, "Fortunately I am a wise man, so I left early!"

Xia Chuan was too lazy to chat with him, so he turned up his cuffs, raised his chin in the direction of the voice, and said, "Over there? Let's go."

The three of them bypassed several earthen houses side by side and walked over there.Both Xia Chuan and Shen Lan have always had straight backs and looked tall and straight.Dennis is similar to them on weekdays, at least when he is smiling and not talking, he is quite personable.But in this short journey today, he was like a monkey, his waist and back were never in a straight line, he always twisted and said nothing, and every few steps he would calmly bend half of his shoulders and move twice, wanting to How awkward, how awkward.

"Did you take drugs today?" Xia Chuan glanced at him and asked with a frown.

Dennis: "..."

He twisted his body a little more, and then explained with a bitter face: "I don't want to go like this, but my back is really itchy, and I dare not scratch it!"

"Scarred? So fast?" Xia Chuanchao took a step back and looked at Dennis's back, but he couldn't see anything.Dennis took out the few bandages left in his medical bag, distributed most of them to the two women in charge of medical treatment, and wrapped the rest around his back, and wrapped it with the old piece of torn clothes. On the body, covered tightly.

"I don't know, almost. They crushed the remaining grass leaves into juice, and the rotten leaves were pasted on the wound. Anyway, there was no pain afterwards, and it was probably about to heal. It was really fast overnight. How about we pick up some of that kind of leaves next time? It saves you from swallowing two anti-inflammatory tablets every time and perfunctory."

Xia Chuan didn't raise his eyes, and retorted in a flat tone: "Where's the perfunctory, didn't you go to the doctor for a serious injury?"

"Oh—you're ashamed to say it." Dennis couldn't help complaining, "Didn't I drag the German to get you to him?"

"Didn't I go later?"

"What German?"

Xia Chuan and Shenlan spoke almost simultaneously.Dennis glanced back and forth between the two of them, decided to give in to the value of force, and answered Shen Lan's words: "Although the doctors in our company's internal clinic are so serious that they are almost boring, they are tight-lipped and talk less. Asking questions.” He pointed at Xia Chuan, and said to Shenlan, “He’s the most annoying when other people are doing things, and he has to talk non-stop.”

Shenlan glanced at Dennis silently, and said to herself that you know so much, why didn't you see you talk less...

When talking about the past, Dennis was still a little excited at first, twittering and talking all the way to the end, but when he said that the German guy was also on the cruise ship, he suddenly lost his anger, and suddenly felt that there was nothing to talk about Le: "It's good to be alive."

He finally summed it up like this, and then didn't speak again.

The last time Xia Chuan went to get medical treatment was only a month ago; it was only ten days since they set off from the company; the last time I saw the German guy was before the ship sank... Counting these things, they are all recent events. But looking back now, it seems like a long, long time has passed.Even some things were said suddenly, and I couldn't remember clearly.

Not only Dennis, but Xia Chuan who was listening on the side also felt the same way.They suddenly understood Deep Blue, he lived in the world of dinosaurs for several years, and the time has been lost for a long time, and it is completely normal to forget many things in the past.

However, Xia Chuan always felt that Shenlan's situation was too special. He didn't simply forget it. To forget it so cleanly and thoroughly was more like it was caused by drugs.

When discussing Professor Linton's affairs in the room earlier, he had already had some doubts in his heart-Dark Blue had lived in this world for several years with a number tattooed on his body, and they broke into this place because of a shipwreck. First they met Dark Blue, and then I met Professor Linton again, and the professor seemed not ignorant of the world...

These things seem to be coincidences, but when they are connected together, it becomes not so simple.

Xia Chuan sorted it out secretly in his heart, only felt that all this was more like being guided and manipulated by humans, but what was the purpose?

While pondering in his mind, he didn't stop on his feet, and soon came to the place where the crowd gathered together with Deep Blue and Dennis.Laura took Alan by the hand, and at the other end of the crowd, she waved at them from a distance, gesturing for them to pass.

"What's going on?" Xia Chuan asked as soon as the three of them walked up to her.

"Collective funeral." Laura replied in a low voice.

"Collective?" Xia Chuan frowned slightly, and looked around the crowd.He didn't stay here for a long time, at least not long enough to remember everyone, so he didn't see who was missing after scanning around.

"Little braid's son, there are two others, one was sleeping next to Dennis before, and was just found not breathing. The other went downhill this morning to take a shower, walked a little further, ran into a beast, and was dragged back It's hopeless." Laura explained, and added, "It should be like this, of course, this is what I heard and guessed, and there may be errors in details."

Whether the details are faulty or not, the number of dead cannot be wrong.Because when Xia Chuan and the others were asking in a low voice, someone had already brought the three corpses over.

"Is this what they were arguing about before?" Shen Lan asked.

"No, but it's related." Laura raised her chin at the corpse over there, "These three, you have seen how the little pigtail's son was injured. The one who stayed in the wounded room before, his arm was killed by a wild beast. The one that was torn up, plus the one that took a shower today... Do you understand?"

"The same kind of beast?" When Xia Chuan was speaking, his eyes fell on the three corpses in the crowd.They have seen Aegon's son before, and the wound in the middle where the arm is missing has long since disappeared. Only the wound that was attacked in the shower this morning is still very obvious.

Xia Chuan looked at the few claw marks on his chest with bone deep visible, and thought of the traces he saw by the door when the stored food was lost.

"They were arguing too fast, and I couldn't hear it clearly, but I almost heard the meaning. Some of them thought that the frequency of that kind of beast attacking their tribe was too high. And they went down the slope this morning to find someone The two came back and said that they saw some scattered stone weapons in the direction the beast left."

"They suspect that the beast has been domesticated?" Xia Chuan immediately understood.

"Yes, that's what it means." Laura said, "Some people think so, and some people think it's a coincidence. After all, this kind of beast is ferocious and cunning, and it's too difficult to tame it."

"It's not necessarily true. There are indeed traces of domesticated beasts in this era." Dennis said, "Who do they suspect domesticated?"

"It is said that there is a tribe that has always been relatively dishonest, with a small number of people, but they like to do crooked ways, steal from others, and rob others, but I haven't heard much about the details." Laura explained, "They have different opinions now. , Some people advocate active attack, but there are not many such people. The two sides quarreled for a long time, and they couldn't get over it. Finally, they quarreled for a long time and planned to hold a funeral first.

In fact, the body could no longer be kept.

They were not too close, and they could already smell some uncomfortable smells, not to mention the people standing next to the corpse.If you put it down again, the smell will be too strong to affect the living people.

This tribe is really fast in doing things, and soon gathered people, standing around a square earthen platform, Xia Chuan saw Aigon and the other two tribesmen carrying a thick stack of extremely large leaves, each Each leaf was less than half the height of a person, and then he knelt on the ground, put down the leaves behind him, and carefully wrapped them around the body one by one.

Aegon wrapped the leaves more skillfully, while the other two were a little clumsy.

All the onlookers looked serious and sad, but no one rushed to intervene.

They unwrapped and unwrapped, and dealt with it for a long time with tears, before they could wrap people tightly, and then tied a few times with strong vines, and tied them tightly.She left her face alone and exposed it outside.Aegon looked down at his son's face, put his hands over his eyes, and whispered something.There is a painted animal tooth tied around his neck, which is shaken by his movements...

When they finished their farewell, six of the onlookers stepped out, helping them carry the wrapped corpses on their backs, then pushed the door and went down the hillside.

The leader stood behind the door and watched their backs go a little farther away, then he walked quickly to Xia Chuan and Shenlan as if he suddenly remembered something, talking and gesticulating with some worries on his face, while Laura was dutifully doing lame Translation: "Ah... probably just asking if you can follow along."

"Where are you going?" Xia Chuan asked.

"Beach." Laura glanced at the leader and replied.

Without saying a word, Shen Lan pulled Xia Chuan away and said, "No problem."
