In villages by the sea, the air often carries the salty smell of sea water.The fishermen have grown up breathing this kind of air since they were young, and they didn't feel any difference.

The doctor, who was sitting on the porch watching the fishermen fishing, yawned lazily.When he looked back and saw the egg that Yin Gu had left for him, he was so mean, he took a brush and poked it back and forth to play.

"I put it here with you, and you must take good care of it." The white-haired man walked away with the wooden box on his back, and couldn't help but come back and tell him, "If you dare to sell it, I will—"

Knowing that the insect master has a hundred ways to make him survive or die, Doctor Huaye hurriedly agreed. "What will come out of this egg?"

"...I said that this is not an egg, but the cocoon of the 'virtual worm'. This is the entrance and exit of space, maybe someone will come back from here someday."

"Ah, will a big beauty emerge?"

After thinking about it while smoking a cigarette, Yin Gu smiled and said, "That's right."

This is amazing.

Huaye knows that his friend is actually very calm, he looks at everything like a casual spectator, and never gets too deeply involved in this world.To get such a high evaluation from the insect master, it seems that the appearance is absolutely excellent.

I guarded this egg with full expectation for several months, but there was no movement.Huaye suddenly felt cheated again, and wanted to smash it open several times to have a look, remembering the frightening worms in the worm master's scroll, but forcibly suppressed the prehistoric power in his body.

He poked the cocoon rolling around with a brush, poking it, and suddenly found that a small piece of the white cocoon was broken.

——It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over.

"...Glue!! Is there any glue——!!!"

The fishermen gossiping on his porch were startled, and amidst the doctor's hysterical growls, they rummaged through boxes and boxes to find glue for him.After finding it with great difficulty, they heard a strange cry from the doctor again. The fishermen thought he had kicked a toe, so they rushed up to look.

——Then they saw a wet boy with black hair and black eyes crawling out of the cocoon the size of an egg.

When Songyang heard a scream that was louder than the other, he thought he had gone through the wrong door and arrived at a bathhouse or something.

He stared blankly at the jumping and screaming strange man in front of him, and the bunch of jumping and screaming strangers behind him.After they danced for almost 3 minutes, the strange man wearing a monocle suddenly calmed down, waved his hand and said, "Calm down, everyone! This is something left by Yin Gu, so it's not surprising that something came out. You go, I Let's deal with it!"

The fishermen suddenly had a clear face, and ran away with an "ohhh".The man stretched out his hand cautiously, as if he wanted to shake hands with him, but he was afraid of being shocked: "You...well, I'm Huaye, a doctor, and that...is Yin Gu's friend."

"Hello. I'm Yoshida Matsuyo, and I'm also his friend."

Space jumping through the Void Worm is not a comfortable thing, and I don't know where the Void Worm took him around. His whole body is covered in sticky light wine.Yi Rong's human skin mask stuck tightly to his face, making it uncomfortable, Songyang peeled off the mask along the hairline and tore it off.

The man on the opposite side who claimed to be a doctor seemed to be very interested in his face, with his hands in his sleeves, and he tilted his head to look left and right.Seeing him take off the mask, revealing his real facial features, he elongated his voice—— with a look of enlightenment.

"Hello, hello, nice to meet." This time the handshake was more sincere, Hua Ye grinned at him, "Yingu ran to deal with some bugs, and said to put the cocoon here first, be safe. "

Songyang also hooked the corners of his mouth that had been tense, and reluctantly responded to the other party's smile.In the end, he came to his senses and frowned slightly: "Safe?"

"Ah, I don't know about their insect masters. Anyway, if the doctor can't solve it, just leave it to the insect master. Please wait here for him. I don't think it will take long."

Songyang temporarily stayed at Huaye's house, and occasionally helped him grab medicine and sort out medical books.Different from the lush mountains here, it is on the endless seashore. The beach is white and looks beautiful shining in the sun. There are often fishermen's children running around picking up shells.When he has nothing to do, Songyang sits on an uninhabited reef, looking at the sea for a whole day.

The fishermen are very hospitable.Every time he came back from fishing and saw Songyang, he picked two fresh fish and threw them to him, asking him to take them back and make fish soup for drinking.

"Thank you, but I can't eat that much..."

"Oh, let's eat it as a dried fish!"

Songyang couldn't refuse, so he had to hang a row of salted fish fluttering in the wind at Huaye's house.Huaye explained to him that fishermen have the habit of throwing two fish over when they see a kitten in the village-this explanation is equivalent to no explanation, okay?

About two months later, one day when he was sitting on the reef looking at the sea, several small tentacles glowing suddenly appeared on the rock.

Songyang recognized that this was the "hummus" specially used by insect masters to find people, and he didn't avoid them, letting them touch him a few times.Those little tentacles finished touching and disappeared into the ground again.Within half a minute, he heard the sound of sand approaching behind him.

——For some reason, I was a little nervous.

The insect master walked around to him very naturally, and told him it had been a long time.Songyang noticed that the man's eyes stayed on his red pupils for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his eyes, looking at the little crabs digging holes on the reef.

"Are you a little... thinner?"

"Ah?" Songyang was startled, raised his eyes and lowered them again, "I didn't—"

"I lost weight." The man nodded firmly, took a puff of cigarette, half joking and half complaining, "What's wrong, I didn't eat enough when I went home."

He stretched out his hand, meaning to let Songyang get off the reef.Songyang jumped down and landed in the opponent's arms.

This is what Yin Gu is hard to refuse - just the right amount of thoughtfulness, and gentleness that doesn't show anything.

Unlike Songyang who was warm and warm like spring in the company of the children, the other party's tenderness is hidden in the indifference that has gone through the world.Like warm boiled water that has just been cooled, it is neither cold nor burnt.

The two of them went to Huaye's house one after the other.Songyang was quiet for a while, Yin Gu told him some interesting stories during the journey, without asking about his experience.Thinking of the fact that he just got out of the cocoon and scared a lot of people, Songyang asked him: "Didn't you say that you would take the cocoon with you?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Because there is a job—"

"I heard from Mr. Huaye. Is it a very dangerous insect?" Songyang was a little concerned.

Yin Gu paused, "It's not—"

"Then, why didn't you bring the cocoon with you? Before I came back, I wrote you a letter, but the virtual worm ate up all the letter."

Yin Gu laughed: "Why do you care so much. It seems that I haven't been away for a long time. Could it be that Huaye bullied you?"

"Because I like you."

Just like that, he was pushed up by a force.Without even realizing what he said, he blurted out this sentence.

The insect master seemed to have been choked by the smoke twice, and the smile in his voice was even stronger: "I like you too."

"Mr. Huaye often tells me about being deceived by you—"

Song Yang, who wanted to change the subject quickly, suddenly stopped his voice and stopped talking.

"What?" Yin Gu asked knowingly, "What did that guy say about me?"

"..."

"what?"

"..."

The man couldn't help but laugh softly.Song Yang was so ashamed that he looked away very helplessly, covering half of his face with his arms, not wanting to be seen by him with his ears burning red.

"Okay, okay, don't get in the way. Go back and eat fish."

As a result, Songyang didn't dare to look up at him until he had dinner at the villagers' house.Probably because Yingu often came to the village, the villagers all knew him well, and they grabbed Yingu and yelled at half of the meal, his arms and legs hurt and the child cried at night, even the doctor Huaye couldn't look down on him.The insect master grimaced helplessly, still biting his chopsticks in his mouth, and mixed the medicine under the urging of the villagers chattering.

The village chief was sitting next to Songyang, and for some reason he put fish into his bowl with all his strength, and when he was done, he watched him eat with a kind old father's face.

"Mr. Songyang, I would like to ask." The wife of the village chief smiled at her aunt, exchanged a look with the village chief, and sat beside Songyang, "Are you still unmarried?"

Songyang was stunned for a moment, quickly put down his chopsticks, waved his hands and said, "For the time being, there is no such thing—"

"Oh, don't be nervous, don't be nervous," the village chief's wife hastily pressed his hand. A woman who grew up by the sea always has a straightforward and grand atmosphere that is different from that in the countryside. Daughter Zhizi is literate—oh, it’s nothing, just be friends. Our girl is crazy all day long, and after a few days with her husband, she finally looks like a lady, and my husband can teach her."

Songyang couldn't intervene, so he had to bend his eyebrows gently and listen to her.The man on the opposite side who had mixed the medicine halfway spat out his chopsticks, walked over calmly, and squatted down in front of Songyang.

"It's stained with soy sauce."

Yin Gu said in a low voice, and touched the corner of the other party's lips with his thumb, very gently and tenderly, wiped Songyang's soft lower lip.

There was a sudden silence in the room, only the sound of Huaye spraying rice all over the floor could be heard.On the contrary, the man seemed indifferent. After wiping his lips, he calmly nodded to the village chief and the others, and then went back to mix medicine for the stunned villagers.

"...Uh--today, the result of going to sea today is also very good hahahaha--"

"...Yes, yes! I heard that Mr. Kimura next door caught a big fish that is hard to see in a hundred years!"

The room became lively again, everyone had a tacit understanding and pretended not to see it at all.Songyang's face was burning red, and he basically only had the courage to bury his head in cooking. The village chief and the others dared not mention their daughter anymore, so they kept adding vegetables to his bowl.

After the meal, everyone went to the beach to enjoy the cool, and the farmers in the neighboring village brought sweet watermelons, soaked them in cold buckets, and brought them to the beach to eat.Huaye carried two buckets alone, and walked between Yingu and Songyang with a gloomy expression.

"Excuse me, may I make a suggestion?" said the doctor.

Yin Gu: "Say."

Huaye: "Can you two stop following me all the time? I can't bear to kick this bowl of dog food anymore, do you still have to chase others and stuff it in your mouth?"

Yin Gu said slowly: "I can't help it. It's all because someone is too thin-skinned, and I'm sorry to be alone with me."

Huaye let out a "tsk", raised his hand and threw two watermelons into Yingu's hands, took Songyang's shoulders to the side, and said sadly: "Songyang, what's the matter with you? Didn't I just tell you about it two days ago?" , don’t look at Yin Gu as a man, he is really a profiteer! I have worked hard to practice medicine for a year, and he can take away half of the hard-earned money I have worked hard for a year!” He clapped the back of his hand very excitedly, “ Half of it! They sold me fake medicines!"

Songyang listened quite seriously, and secretly looked at the insect master beside him while listening.Master Zong held up two watermelons and smoked a cigarette, and listened casually. After finally waiting for Huaye to finish his complaint, he smiled lightly: "It makes sense, but Songyang still likes me."

"...Yin, Mr. Yingu..."

"...You guys are really annoying! Get lost!"

Low-flying birds flitted across the sea, and some sort of glowing finch-like creature seemed ready to return to its nest, bringing a fresh breeze with each low pass.Yin Gu looked familiar, turned around and saw Songyang holding a watermelon looking up, the man froze for a moment, and frowned slightly.

"Songyang, can you see the worm?"

"What?" Song Yang retracted his gaze and pointed to his left eye, "Didn't you drop a little light wine before leaving? Isn't the effect of light wine permanent?"

After waiting for a long time without hearing the man's answer, Songyang turned his head sideways, just in time to catch the man's distressed eyes.

"What's wrong? Is something bad?"

"...It's not a big deal." The insect master slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and shook his head, "With me here, there will be no problem."
