Chapter 661 Lady Sea
Chapter 661 Lady Sea
The child said his name was Xiaoxing and he had experienced a terrible thing a few days ago, but the adults were very taboo about it and didn't allow him to mention it again.
Xiaoxing said that a few days ago, his parents went fishing in the sea on a fishing boat and left him alone at home.
His parents are local fishermen who make a living from the sea. Their usual way of making a living is to go out to sea to fish.
Xiaoxing was bored at home and played with toys alone. After a long time, he felt bored and ran to the beach to watch the sea.
Since he was a child, he liked to sit on the rocks by the sea, feel the sea breeze, watch the fishing boats coming and going in the sea, and relax.
After watching for several hours, the sky gradually darkened. The tourists and fishermen on the beach had all dispersed, leaving Xiaoxing alone sitting on the rock.
The sea breeze blew on his cheeks with a hint of coolness, but Xiaoxing didn't feel cold at all. His eyes were fixed on the seagulls gliding on the sea, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, Xiaoxing seemed to catch something out of the corner of his eye.
He turned his head suddenly and saw a slender figure slowly walking towards him on the beach not far away.
Xiaoxing squinted his eyes, trying to see the figure clearly.
But the distance was too far, and it was dark, so he could only see that it was a very tall human figure with long limbs, and his steps seemed a little erratic.
An inexplicable curiosity surged in Xiaoxing's heart. He quietly slid down from the rock, hid behind a reef, and secretly observed the figure.
As the figure gradually approached, Xiaoxing began to feel inexplicably uneasy, and an unreasonable panic shrouded his heart.
Because the figure was so tall, it looked at least two meters tall. Xiaoxing had never seen anyone so tall in the town.
And its steps were unnaturally light, as if... floating.
Who on earth could walk so steadily on a beach covered in mud and sand?
When the figure came not far from Xiaoxing, he finally saw its appearance clearly.
It was a woman, but she was incredibly tall, with limbs as spindly as one of those sea spiders my parents used to catch when they were fishing.
She was wearing a tattered white robe, her long black hair hung down past her shoulders, and her face was as pale as death.
Her eyes were sunken deep in her eye sockets and looked dark at night, like two deep holes.
When the woman walked near the reef, she suddenly stopped, tilted her head slightly, and looked in the direction where Xiaoxing was hiding.
Xiaoxing's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He held his breath and dared not make any sound.
The woman's eyes fell on the reef where Xiaoxing was hiding. Xiaoxing didn't dare to move and hid there motionless.
After a few seconds, the woman slowly turned her eyes away and continued walking forward.
"She didn't see me! Great!"
Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief. He quietly stuck his head out and looked at the woman.
I saw her walking slowly on the beach, as if she was looking for something.
Xiaoxing hid behind the reef, feeling a little scared and not daring to look at the woman again.
After a while, the woman finally stopped not far away, squatted down and seemed to be picking up something.
Although he was very scared, Xiaoxing somehow felt a strong curiosity in his heart.
He plucked up his courage and quietly poked his head out from behind the reef to see what the tall woman was looking for.
Xiaoxing had seen his mother pick up a lot of pearls when she came back from fishing. His mother said that these things could be sold for money.
Is this woman looking for pearls on the beach?
But who would come looking for pearls after dark? Besides, there are no pearls to be found on the beach.
Thinking of this, Xiaoxing suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
Because this woman looked really strange and a little scary, and he had seen almost all the fishermen in the town, but had never seen such a slender woman.
Just when Xiaoxing was stunned, the woman suddenly turned her head and her eyes fell on him again!
Xiaoxing suddenly felt cold all over and was so scared that he dared not breathe.
There was no expression on the woman's face, and her dark eyes stared at him motionlessly.
She suddenly stood up and walked towards Xiaoxing quickly, her speed was simply beyond human ability.
Xiaoxing was so scared that his legs were shaking, but he couldn't take a step. He could only sit slumped behind the reef, unable to even escape.
As the woman got closer, Xiaoxing's eyes were filled with fear.
At this moment, a man's shout was heard.
"Monster, you dare to harm the people, die quickly!"
Xiaoxing looked towards the source of the sound and saw a young man in white running towards him quickly.
As he ran, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his chest, chanted a spell, and with a flash of light in his hand, he waved his hand and threw the activated talisman at the strange woman.
The red light instantly enveloped the woman's body. She let out a fierce roar, flew away from the man, and disappeared into the sea.
The man rushed to Xiaoxing and asked, "Kid, are you okay?"
Xiaoxing was so scared that her whole body was cold and her teeth were chattering. After hearing what the man said, Xiaoxing calmed down a little and nodded.
The man smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, your brothers and sisters will protect you."
Behind the man was a woman with twin ponytails and a burly man, who were also looking at Xiaoxing with a smile.
The three of them found out where Xiaoxing's home was and sent him back before leaving.
Before parting, Xiaoxing suddenly asked them what their names were. Xiaoxing had never seen them before and wanted to know who they were.
A few people smiled and reported their names.
The man in white was called He Qingheng, the woman with twin ponytails was called Ning Ruohe, and the burly man was called Chen Batian.
"Brother and sister, what do you do?"
"We protect all children."
A few of them smiled, performed Tai Chi, and then disappeared into the night.
The next day, Xiaoxing's parents returned home and saw Xiaoxing curled up tightly in the quilt, his face covered in sweat and shivering. They hurriedly asked him what was wrong.
Xiaoxing told his parents what happened last night and they were all scared.
The parents said that Xiaoxing had met the "Sea Lady".
"Sea Lady? What is that?"
My mother sighed and said slowly, "The Sea Lady is a legend in our town. It is said that she was a beautiful fisherman in ancient times. She lost her child in a shipwreck and became mad ever since."
"Later, she had a mental breakdown and jumped into the sea. From then on, she became the Sea Lady, wandering the seashore and kidnapping children. From time to time, people would say they saw her."
After hearing what his mother said, Xiaoyu became even more frightened.
He asked his mother, "Kidnap a child? Where would Lady Sea take the child?"
The mother shook her head and said, "No one knows. Some say she would take the child to her home in the sea and raise him as her own."
"But some say that the Sea Lady simply took the child to the depths of the sea, where he drowned. Having lost her child, she became jealous of all parents and children in the world."
