Slanting wind and drizzle do not need to return - Kun Qiu colleagues

If someone had told him that people could be resurrected from the dead, he would not have believed it.He is a citizen of the sea, and he has seen a strong fishing boat easily swallowed by strong winds and waves, and he has also seen the scene where people who go out to sea never return.In front of this endless sea, people perfectly fulfill the phrase "a chestnut in the ocean", which is irresistible and irresistible.

He clearly remembered the torrential rain that was still falling that night, the painful cry of the dolphins, and the pain of the seawater pouring into his lungs.

The young man lowered his head and grabbed a handful of wet sand after the high tide. Probably because his fingers dug too deep and disturbed the little crab sleeping peacefully under the gravel, the other party gave him a pincer without hesitation.The piercing pain at the fingertips immediately made him withdraw his hand. He witnessed the crab fleeing quickly after it succeeded, and then stared at his injured finger again, slightly dazed.

The pain reminded him that he was still alive.He was also a little confused about this cognition.Back from the dead, is it true?

"Brother, brother, look at my wreath!" The young sister ran out happily all the way from the house, "Sister Chun made it for me! Is it beautiful?" After saying that, she tilted her head delicately waiting for praise.

"Beautiful, our niece is the most beautiful!" The boy picked up his little sister and turned her small body around.

The younger sister grabbed the garland on her head tightly, fearing that it would be swept away by the sea breeze, and asked the boy with a smile, "Brother, will you go to sea tomorrow?"

The boy said: "Well, tomorrow I will go to the boat with my father, and I will wait for my brother to catch blue fish for you."

"Okay! There are green ones! Yellow ones! Red ones!" My sister gestured with open arms.

"You are so greedy." The boy scratched his sister's nose and said with a smile.

The younger sister also giggled and said, "I also want the red dolphin."

When the young man heard this, his smile froze for a moment, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth gradually decreased. "They... only come once a year, and probably won't come again this year."

"Oh." The younger sister responded obediently, stared at her brother's face for a while, and suddenly hugged his neck and kissed him hard on the face.The boy turned his face to look at his little sister in surprise, and the little sister just giggled.Feeling warm in his heart, he also laughed out loud with her, and ran on the beach with her in his arms, making his sister even happier.

When they got home, they opened the door and saw Chun sitting side by side with their mother, learning how to weave bamboo hats and coir raincoats.When they heard someone coming in, they all stopped what they were doing and looked up to the door.The younger sister yelled at Chun in the boy's arms: "Sister Chun, show you the shells that brother and I picked up!"

She twisted her body and wanted to get off the ground, forcing the boy to let her down.The younger sister trotted to Tsubaki with a pile of shells in her clothes, and the shells were bumped and jingled by her.

"I'll help you string the shells, okay?" Tsubaki asked.

"Okay, okay!" cried the younger sister.

The boy came over, patted his sister on the head, and said to Chun, "Let me drill the hole."

"What do you want to ask?" Tsubaki asked in a low voice when only the two of them were left. "We haven't talked like this since you woke up. What do you remember?" She turned to look at him.

The boy hardly knew where to start.There are too many things he remembers, and too many things he doesn't know. "Those red dolphins, are you?"

"When we become adults, we will turn into big fish. The elders said it is to let us see what the world we manage looks like."

"Adult?" The boy froze for a moment, "Is it just once?"

Chun nodded: "Except for coming-of-age rites, the Gate of Sea and Sky will not be opened easily."

It turned out that the dolphins were not from the same group every year, and the petite dolphin he met that night was not the "Qiu" from the previous year as he thought at first. "Qiu...Qiu, has he attended the coming-of-age ceremony?" the boy asked.

"He is older than me, and attended the coming-of-age ceremony a year earlier than me." Chun said, "He said that the world is fun."

The boy asked: "Then has he ever told you why he thinks the world is fun?"

Chun said: "No. Because the world has some sad memories for me, and I didn't discuss it with him afterwards."

The boy asked again: "A sad memory?"

Tsubaki turned to stare at him, but didn't answer his question.For this answer, she had already planned to keep silent to Kun for the rest of her life.

The young man didn't force himself, smiled and said, "When I was Kun, I thought you and Qiu were the closest people to me. I have to say that animals are much more powerful than humans. Although they can't speak, their intuition has always been good." It’s not wrong. I thought at that time that I must have seen Qiu. He has a unique smell.” Seeing that Chun’s eyes widened in surprise, the young man smiled sheepishly, “So it’s like Wangcai next door, haha."

Chun shook his head and said, "Maybe you guys have seen it before. The position of the Gate of Sea and Sky remains the same."

"Maybe... I've seen Qiu's dolphin." The young man's tone was flat, but the shell in his hand betrayed him, unable to withstand his strength, it cracked from the middle with a "crack".He froze for a moment, sliding his scarred fingertips across the obvious cracks.

"This shell can't be strung anymore." Chun exclaimed regretfully, "Oh".

Just as the boy was about to throw the shell away, he heard the crisp voice of his sister outside: "It's raining—it's raining—"

When Chun and the young man heard this, they immediately got up and walked to the door, watching the thunderstorm outside in a trance.

——I will turn into the wind and rain in the world and accompany you.

"Did you see that, where did Qiu go in the end?" Chun suddenly asked.

At that time, he was about to pass through the Gate of Sea and Sky, and he saw the young man holding the girl's hand and falling. He tried to spread his wings, trying to rush back to save them, but the suction of the vortex was too strong, as if countless invisible The silk threads wove into a net, dragging him all the way up.He saw that Qiu's red clothes merged with the flames, only Qiu's silver-white short hair was glaringly dazzling in the mass of red, but none of them could resist the engulfing of the flames.He yelled, struggled, and begged, even if the unnatural force could have a trace of mercy, let him go back to his side.

"Don't cry, I will turn into the wind and rain in the world, and stay with you..." Qiu's gentle voice sounded from the bottom of his heart, but he knew that it was what Qiu said to Chun, and it didn't belong to him.

With a long cry of mourning, he saw that Qiu shattered into countless sparks, those that went to the sea and sky went to the sea and sky, and those that went to the tide went to the tide, and there was nothing left...

The boy under the eaves pointed to the misty rain and fog, and his voice trembled slightly: "He is... loving in his way..." He couldn't continue, took a deep breath, "Loving you ..." As he said, he held the cracked and scrapped red shell tightly in his palm.
