The boat walked along the coastline from east to west, facing the golden and magnified sunset, which was boundless. It gradually passed the fishing village and arrived at a deserted beach.
Song You was very unskilled in rowing, but he was still alive and willing to try new things, so he awkwardly steered the boat towards the shore. Fortunately, during the process, his cat and swallow were squatting on the bow of the boat. He stared in the direction, not laughing at him.
The boat hit the beach and the bottom of the boat hit the shore.
Song You took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers and jumped in. Just when he was about to turn around and tell Sanhua Empress not to panic, he saw Mao'er standing on the bow of the boat and already making a gesture of jumping down. With a pop, she also jumped in with him. in sea water.
The sea water under the boat reached up to Song You's ankles and half of Sanhua Empress's legs. The water was still rising up, rising to its highest level, almost reaching Sanhua Empress's thighs.
Song You stared at Mao'er, and Mao'er also raised his head and stared at him.
"Why did Sanhua Empress jump down?"
"Why did the Taoist priest jump down?"
"Seawater contains salt and sand. When it dries out, a layer of scale will form on Sanhua Empress's hair."
"Why did the Taoist priest jump down?"
"I'm going to pull the boat ashore."
"I saw the Taoist priest jumping down, so I jumped down."
"Come ashore quickly..."
Song You didn't say any more to her, pointed to the beach behind her, then pulled the rope on the bow of the boat and pulled the boat to the beach.
During this process, a powerful force came from behind.
Looking back, the cat bit the tail of the rope and pulled it hard for him. It stepped on the beach with its four little feet. With a little force, it penetrated deeply into the sand. He didn't know if there were any flowers underneath.
"brush……"
The bottom of the boat scratched the sand.
"The tide will come in at night and the water will get higher and higher. We have to pull the boat farther away and tie the rope to that tree."
"Hmm..."
The hull finally slowly moved away from the seaside.
"Thank you so much, Empress Sanhua. If Empress Sanhua hadn't been so helpful behind the scenes, I would have been very tired." Song You said while tying the rope, "Empress Sanhua has been a big help again."
The empress of Sanhua, who had worked so hard and accomplished so much, did not answer him for a while.
Song You couldn't help but look at her.
The water vapor on the sea is very heavy, and when the sun sets on the horizon, it is also separated by the water vapor. The refraction of light becomes a top colorist at this time, and the horizon shows a beautiful gradient color. The villages and coconut trees are all like this. In the gradient scenery in front, the cat is staring down at the beach, with a curious and serious look on his face.
The difference from imagination is——
This beach is alive and full of life.
When she was working hard earlier, Sanhua Empress had already discovered that this beach was different from the many sandy areas she had been to before, regardless of whether those sandy areas were on the seaside or not. There are countless small holes on the beach at her feet. They are so densely packed that they look like they were poked out by the small bamboo sticks she used when she and the Taoist priests were walking around. There are sand balls piled up in front of each hole, which no one has ever walked through. At that time, the ground was full of small crabs as big as Didi.
These little crabs are as small as a bean and are very clever. At the slightest movement, they all run crazily into the hole.
Forget it if they don't run away. If they run away like this, aren't they trying to seduce her?
Empress Sanhua stared blankly, so much so that the Taoist priest didn't hear anything she said. She couldn't help it, and her body didn't obey her orders at all. She flicked the water and threw herself forward.
These little things run pretty fast.
But no matter how fast it is, can it be as good as your Sanhua Empress?
Song You stood in the distance and sat down against the side of the ship. While wiping off the sand and salt dirt on his feet, he watched the scene with a smile on his face.
I saw my own cat fluttering left and right on the beach, sometimes jumping over to hold down a small crab and getting closer to observe it carefully. This is to promote my spirit of curiosity and seeking knowledge. Sometimes I would pick up one in my mouth and come back and put it in the Taoist's hand. Give it to the Taoist priest to play with, hold it in front of the swallow, and give it to the swallow to eat. This is to promote the spirit of sharing. Sometimes you block the entrance of the hole where the little crab is about to run and see where it goes. Sometimes you gently play with the little crab that has stopped running. Want to bring it back to life...
This place was undoubtedly very novel and interesting to Sanhua Empress. She seemed to be addicted to it in a short period of time.
The sun gradually sank below the sea level, and the clouds in the sky were dyed red, reflecting in the sea water.
Because Empress Sanhua was here, time became slower.
Song You went to the forest behind him to pick up some firewood. It had been a long time since he had picked up firewood himself. He picked a coconut tree and laid a felt blanket under the tree. When the fire started, he looked up and saw that there was only There was a large mess of small plum blossom footprints, but there was no trace of the cat.
Song You turned his eyes and found her.
Sanhua Empress seems to have had enough fun.
At the moment, he is rubbing against the edge of the small wooden boat, as if he wants to leave his scent on it and declare his ownership.
She was stunned for a moment when she saw a fire igniting under the awning of a coconut tree. Then she quickly jumped out of the boat, ran over to the beach and asked, "Taoist priest, why did you start the fire yourself?"
"Although I'm not as smart as Empress Sanhua, I can still do it by lighting a fire."
"Sanhua Empress can make fire!"
"nature."
"This is the way for Sanhua Empress to survive."
"I just saw Sanhua Empress was playing so much, I couldn't bear to disturb Sanhua Empress." Song You smiled slightly and reached out to touch the head of the cat who ran to him, "Do you have fun, Sanhua Empress?"
“It’s so much fun here!”
"Yeah?"
"There are so many little crabs that I can't finish them all!" Sanhua Empress said seriously, "If Sanhua Empress were the cat here, she would definitely come here every day. It's fun and full! She won't go hungry!"
"These little crabs are not available all year round."
"Well?"
The cat immediately turned to stare at him.
"I guess……"
"Yes, we won't stay here forever." Mao'er nodded, found the answer from another angle, then thoughtfully, whispered, "Fortunately, Sanhua Empress is full, Sanhua Empress Let’s eat this tomorrow too.”
"Does it taste good?"
Song You asked her softly.
"It's like a bug. When it is eaten, it will pinch Sanhua's mouth." The cat also answered seriously. After speaking, he turned to look at the swallow and said, "It would be better if Sanhua's mouth is also hard."
"I see."
"Taoist, do you want to eat it? Empress Sanhua will go and catch some for you."
"It's getting dark."
"Sanhua Empress will dig it out for you."
"I will not eat."
"I don't want to eat..."
"If Miss Sanhua is willing, please pick a coconut for me." Song You said and raised his head.
"coconut!"
The cat looked up, following his gaze.
The tall and thin wild coconut trees are only slightly curved. Only the top has leaves and no branches at all. There are many fruits bigger than the head hanging on them.
"This is coconut."
“Coconut water for chicken?”
"It's the water inside." Song You said, "There is a lot of water in this fruit, which can be drank or used to make soup."
"OK……"
Sanhua Empress looked up at the coconut, secretly measured its size and answered with some uncertainty.
After all, cats are not good at picking fruit.
What's more, this fruit grows bigger than a cat.
However, she was not sure whether to confirm or not. After Sanhua Empress finished answering, she still ran two steps towards the tree trunk, jumped up, and easily jumped as high as a person. The whole cat rested on the coconut tree trunk, showing all of a sudden It has far greater physical strength than ordinary cats. Then he clasped his four claws on the tree trunk, his nails deeply embedded in the bark, and climbed up quickly.
Within two or three times, I climbed to the top.
"Taoist priest..."
Empress Sanhua spent a lot of effort to get a coconut.
Unfortunately, when she said that, the coconut had already fallen.
"live!"
"puff……"
The coconut hit the Taoist's side and fell almost against the Taoist's body, hitting the sand deeply.
"How many?"
"enough."
“Save up a few more to eat!”
"Puff puff……"
Several coconuts fell down one after another.
The Sanhua Empress then carefully came down from the tree. This action was much more difficult than climbing up the tree. Fortunately, after all, she had great magical powers and strong abilities. When she got halfway down, the height of more than ten feet was not difficult at all. She jumped down and landed firmly, but her four cylindrical little claws were dug into the sand.
"Thank you, Miss Sanhua."
"You're welcome!"
"If Sanhua Empress is willing, please use Sanhua Empress's knife to help me poke a hole in the coconut!" Song You said as if making a wish.
"OK!"
The Sanhua Empress responds to all requests.
So she turned into a human form again, a small one, holding a coconut that was thicker and rounder than her waist in one hand, and holding a water diversion knife in the other hand. She looked over and over, shook it and listened to the sound of water. It took a long time before she dared to cut it.
In addition to controlling water, the water separator is also very sharp. It is not difficult to open a coconut.
Sanhua Empress quickly handed it to him.
"Eat it!"
"Thank you, Miss Sanhua."
"You're welcome!"
Song You raised the coconut and took a swig of water.
The taste is very light, not as sweet and delicious as expected.
Empress Sanhua held the knife and sat on the sand next to her with her legs slanted. She looked up at him and drank. Although there was no expression on her face, she felt a huge sense of accomplishment in her heart.
"Miss Sanhua, you can also drink one."
"There aren't many left on the tree. You won't eat this or that. I'll save it for you to drink. Empress Sanhua can just eat Xiaopanhai."
"Ms. Sanhua's words are wrong." Song You sat down with his back against the coconut tree, reflecting the firelight, admiring the scenery on the horizon in the distance, and said to her leisurely, "There are not many on this tree, but this area There are countless trees like this on the beach.”
"Well……"
The little girl turned her head and looked into the distance.
"Besides, Sanhua Empress doesn't know how much fun there is at the seaside, and how abundant supplies are on the sea."
"Well?"
"The tide will rise on the beach at night, and the waves will push many small sea animals to the beach. Some of them can go back, and some will stay on the beach or be trapped in the shallows. Many local villagers will come early tomorrow morning The purpose of catching up on the beach is to look for these small animals, including snails and fish. Sanhua Empress can learn their skills and search for them to her heart's content." Song You's voice was very soft, "With Sanhua Empress's ability, I think she can learn very quickly. You will also get more than them, and most of these things are more delicious than small crabs."
These short words made Sanhua Empress open her eyes wide, and infinite yearning arose in her heart.
"Does the Taoist priest eat it?"
"Eat it if it suits you."
"Eat as long as it suits you?"
"I eat most of the fish, shrimps and crabs, except the ones that are too small. I also eat some snails and clams."
"Then Sanhua Empress will catch it tonight!"
"There's no need to be impatient."
"Don't be impatient!"
"The night is still long, please rest first."
Song You drank coconut water while looking at the horizon, blowing the sea breeze and listening to the waves. There was no roof or tent, and he was talking to the cat. His body and mind were at ease, and time passed by.
"Rest is the most important~"
The little girl repeated his words.
But he still couldn't help but turn his head and look at the sea.
At this time, the sky has already darkened, and only the gentle rays of light remain in the direction of the setting sun. It seems blue but not blue, seems purple but not red, seems pink and white. The colors change without dividing lines. The sea has long been pitch black, only one layer after another. There was a splashing sound from the waves, and under the glow of the fire, the little girl's mouth was slightly open, and her eyes were bright.
From then on, there was a place in the world that was barely comparable to Lanmo County where the rat demon was raging.
