Chapter 119 Blue Tea Island (End)
"The tears should be big and the voice should be loud."
"This is the best way to cry. The voice is actually very easy to practice, but it's hard to let the tears come out."
The three girls, Li Xuan, Li Li and Wang Jingjing, surrounded her and taught her how to cry very seriously, imparting to her without reservation the experience they had accumulated since childhood.
She asked, "What if I really can't cry?"
The fat Wang Jingjing took out a needle and looked at her with an innocent expression.
“…”
Li Xuan patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, sister. We have all been pricked before."
In Baiyu's world, perhaps because she hates the sound of children crying, her memories are filled with the sound of children crying. She thinks that children are very crybaby creatures who will cry non-stop at the slightest bump or dissatisfaction.
She didn't know that in a world, a needle was needed to make a child cry.
If you are pricked with needles several times when you are a child, you will develop a stress response when you see the needle, which will make it easier for you to cry in the future.
"How ridiculous, how ridiculous, how ridiculous." She said three times in a row, and then she laughed as she spoke, under the blank gaze of the three girls.
"Tears are an expression of emotions and feelings. People shed tears when they are sad and in pain." Bai Yu stood there, looking down at them, and said sternly: "Crying is your body and heart telling you and others that you are sad, you are in pain, and you need to heal."
The three girls came secretly, so they should have spoken quietly so as not to be discovered by others. However, the three of them listened to Bai Yu's words but did not interrupt her. They just stared at her in a daze.
Bai Yu's voice was not particularly loud, but it was very clear. "Instead of entertaining men, they actually voted on who cried the most beautifully. Ha, you would be voted the girl who cried the most beautifully. Wouldn't you feel honored if you were voted the girl who cried the most beautifully?"
The girl who cried the most beautifully put her fingers behind her back.
The girl who cries the most beautifully on Blue Tea Island will be praised by people all over the island. Everyone praises her, and many families want her to be their daughter-in-law. She thinks it is truly glorious and worthy of pride.
However, at this moment, under Bai Yu's gaze, she shrank down a little and even wanted to shrink into the ground.
She felt somewhat ashamed.
Tears are an expression of human emotions and feelings. She remembered that when she was very young, she had told her mother that people cry when they are sad. Why did she know this at such a young age? Because it might be human instinct and nature.
The only things that are easily awakened are the unchangeable facts.
She felt her eyes a little sore, and dug a finger into the earth wall, trying to shrink herself, and whispered to herself, "I'm not trying to please men, I'm atonement. Girls are guilty, and tears can wash away our sins, just like that and that."
"Huh? Hahahaha! You might as well say that it's the Crimson Pearl Fairy who came down to earth to repay her tears. If they nurtured you in your last life and you want to repay them with tears in this life, I can accept that." Bai Yu laughed and cursed, "What a disgusting misogynistic idea!"
The three girls didn't understand what she said. They just stared at the girl who was beaten and covered in bruises, laughing so hard that blood came out of the cracks on the corners of her mouth. But she was really beautiful.
The laughing, bruised, dirty girl was very beautiful and very strange.
The three girls walked back stealthily.
Li Li asked Li Xuan: "Since she said that about you, will you not come to see her tomorrow?"
The next day, they came again, bringing hot meals, hot water and towels, and listened to her scolding them.
Later, Bai Yu realized that she might be pregnant.
She was terrified, and she acted very brave when she scolded the girls here, but that was because her true nature was brought out by this Blue Tea Island, and she no longer cared.
But she was only an eighteen-year-old girl after all. It was impossible for her to remain calm facing the baby in her belly. More importantly, she had been beaten and jumped into the sea. She was not sure whether the baby was healthy or would have any problems.
She thought about it all night long. In the dark and damp room on Blue Tea Island, she thought about her high school days which seemed so far away, the boy in a white shirt with a nice smile, the way the morning sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on his face, and the bloodstains that spread out behind her when she was brought to this island.
She compromised.
She married an islander who was eighteen years older than she was.
The day after her marriage, she wiped away her tears, saw the three girls, and started scolding them again.
But the three girls never left, and they brought other girls to find her.
She said: "Girls' tears are indeed pearls, but pearls are especially precious things."
The next day they brought the pearls to her.
She thought they were silly and cute. They were like little squirrels looking at humans with curiosity, and even if they were scolded, they would still give away the nuts they had stored.
She thought, do something.
She told them, "Do you know? Blue Tea Island is just a small island. Outside the island there is a very big world, so big, as big as thousands of Blue Tea Islands."
A girl asked her: "Sister Baiyu, are you from a very big world?"
Bai Yu nodded and said accurately: "I was abducted. There are fewer and fewer girls on Blue Tea Island, so they abducted girls from other places to redeem their ridiculous crimes."
As for why there are fewer and fewer girls on Blue Tea Island, it is obvious that they all want boys, their own flesh and blood, rather than girls born to atone for their sins.
People on Blue Tea Island think that women on the island are guilty, let alone women outside. Those guilty women outside are not worthy of respect.
In their eyes, she was meant to atone for her sins for the rest of her life.
She hated them, but she couldn't hate these girls who were even more pitiful than her.
She had been to the world outside Blue Tea Island at least for eighteen years. They had been here all the time, treating sin as a habit.
The girls were silent for a while, and one girl asked carefully and curiously: "Sister Baiyu, what is the world outside like?"
"Out there in the big world, girls laugh when they get married. Not loudly, but at least happily."
The girls had blank expressions on their faces, as if they couldn't imagine a wedding with a smiling bride.
She said, “Do you smile when you are happy?”
"Yes," they said in unison.
She said: "Marrying the person you love is a happy thing. It may be the happiest day of your life. Isn't it normal to smile? You are so surprised. Shouldn't you be the ones reflecting on yourself?"
She added: "Of course, I'm not lying to you, there were also people crying."
The girls caught something normal and felt briefly relieved, and it was normal to cry.
"Their crying is a natural emotional reaction. They are too happy or they miss their parents. They only cry for a short while, but it is not a way of atonement." Bai Yu laughed and said, "If your kind of atonement crying at your wedding gets out, I don't know how outrageous it will be."
"How can a woman be guilty? If a woman is guilty, then wouldn't the man she gave birth to also be guilty?"
She said: "Everyone is born equal and clean. It is because they are dirty and fearful in their hearts that they say we are sinful. We can cry when we want to cry and laugh when we want to laugh. This is our basic right. Forcing people to cry when they don't want to cry is destroying humanity."
She told them over and over again.
From their initial confusion, to their acceptance of the world where women have no sin, to their beginning to think seriously.
From her flat stomach, to her bulging stomach.
The girls surrounded her and asked her, "Sister, if the baby is a girl, she won't have to cry from childhood, right?"
"Of course not! She cries when she wants to cry and laughs when she wants to laugh."
The girls were even more encouraged and were looking forward to this girl who had never had to learn to cry since childhood. Like her, they regarded the baby being conceived as a hope and a future.
They gradually realized that they were not born guilty, and that the crying they had been practicing since childhood was a form of oppression. They even developed a sense of resistance.
The first person to rebel was the girl who cried the most beautifully on Blue Tea Island and who insisted on not crying when she got married.
She said she also wanted a normal and fair wedding.
Her mother took out the needle that she had been using to prick her since she was a child, but she was no longer the same person she was when she was little. No matter how many times she was pricked or how deep the needle was, she did not cry. Even Bai Yu was surprised. How could she not cry when it hurt so much? Was it because she had shed all her tears before?
The thin and weak girl was given many injections and her legs were almost broken, but she gritted her teeth and didn't cry.
She was broken off on her wedding day and was scolded by Mr. Li for being shameful, but she didn't cry at all.
When she went to see her and put a pearl ring on her finger, she finally burst into tears. She had learned to cry since she was a child, and at this moment she expressed her feelings with great passion.
“You lied to me. I don’t just cry when I’m sad or in pain.” She cried and said, “I cry when I’m scared or happy…but this is because I want to cry. I want to cry on my own.”
Later, she saw several girls wearing pearl rings and necklaces, and more and more girls began to express their resistance.
Li Li did not cry when she got married. When Master Li angrily scolded her, she put one hand on Fatty's waist and pointed the other at him, "You said we have sins. As long as we are women, we have sins. Your sinful mother gave birth to you without sins? Your body also has sinful blood!"
Master Li was speechless and extremely angry after being scolded.
As he watched one girl after another start to disobey, he gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.
He knew the reason for their change.
It was a sunny day, and a statue of the sea god was moved to the door of Bai Yu's room.
After Bai Yu became pregnant, in order to prevent her from escaping again, she would still sleep in the sealed house every night, and could only come out of the room to bask in the sun during the day.
After she became pregnant, she became particularly sleepy. That morning, she slept until the sun was high in the sky, and just as she woke up, she heard noises outside.
Through the crack in the door, she saw the statue of Poseidon appear right in front of her door.
She knew that it was a statue of the sea god. The people of Blue Tea Island had always relied on the sea for their survival. They believed in the sea god, and there was a huge statue of the sea god enshrined on the island. In addition to that statue, there was also one in Master Li's home.
It was the one in front of her. The sea god was a strange snake-like creature covered with eyes. It was coiled in layers, and each layer had several eyes, looking in all directions.
It is said that it was the sea god who told the people of Blue Tea Island that women were born with sin and could not go to the sea.
She didn't know why the statue of Poseidon appeared here. She had a hunch that something bad was going to happen, so she listened carefully to what her husband was saying to Master Li.
When her husband saw the statue of Poseidon coming home, he became very nervous and bent down to ask Master Li in a low voice what was going on.
"It's good news, Zhiquan. The sea god told me in my dream last night that he has descended into your wife's belly. Your child is the reincarnation of the sea god. It's a great thing." Master Li said with a smile.
The husband opened his eyes wide in surprise and his hands were shaking with excitement.
This was a major event that shocked the entire Blue Tea Island. Many people from Blue Tea Island gathered outside the courtyard. He saw many people looking at him with envy and a little awe, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
"Then, then..."
"It's just..." Master Li looked towards the door, "You know, your wife has never cried before. She is full of sins. The Sea God cannot be born in such a dirty and sinful body."
Meeting Mr. Li's cold, malicious gaze, she took a step back.
She knew what Master Li meant.
She said, if a woman is sinful, does that mean the man she gives birth to is sinless?
He said that she was sinful and was not worthy of giving birth to the sea god they believed in, otherwise the sea god would be defiled.
That day, the sunlight was glaring and she was pulled out of the room and tied under the statue of Poseidon.
She struggled desperately and screamed at the top of her lungs.
The baby in her belly was her hope to survive on this hellish island. Many nights, when she wanted to die and end it all, it was this child that gave her hope and kept her going through one dark and humid night after another.
The child in her belly was from the only boy she had ever loved. He died in the sea because of her, and she wanted this child to continue his life.
The baby in her belly is not yet full-term and cannot leave her.
If I leave her, I will die.
Will die.
All will die.
She might have been crying.
She heard many girls crying and many girls struggling.
When the first cut was made on her stomach.
In the sharp pain, there is the despair of something being lost, the despair of being unable to protect it no matter how hard you struggle.
She heard Master Li say, Look, isn’t she very good at crying?
She saw that the sky above her, the image of Poseidon was black, Master Li who was leaning over her was black, so everything was black, a black that her screams could not penetrate, a black that her blood could not penetrate.
Something was taken away, not just a child, not just a child who didn't have to cry from elementary school.
The clear sky gradually darkened.
In the dim light, all the islanders saw that the child had an extra eye, which was visible even though he was not yet full-term.
The islanders believed that he was the incarnation of the sea god.
They cheered, and no one stopped the bleeding of the woman on the ground.
The woman whose blood was almost drained out did not die. She slowly stood up at some point. When a girl cried and called her name, the islanders found her standing beside the statue, covered in blood.
How could the mother of Poseidon, who gave birth to Poseidon, die?
The mother of Poseidon said that Poseidon told him that some people do have sins and need to atone for their sins, but not with tears.
The first person to atone for his sins was Master Li. The islanders saw with their own eyes how he atones for his sins. He jumped into the sea like a madman and went to the sea god to atone for his sins.
Some new people came to Blue Tea Island and brought some new things to it.
Some of these people were forced, some came voluntarily, but they all brought something new, even the sea god brought something new.
Later, the sea god of Blue Tea Island turned into the White Sea Fairy, and more and more people heard that Blue Tea Island was an island of atonement, where people could come to atone their sins, die here, or stay here.
Only Bai Gu is still there, and she is getting older, just like those girls.
No one knew that she had died that day.
Otherwise, she will leave here.
No one knew that, immersed in a world of only sin, she was slowly decaying.
The room was still as dark as before, but at this moment, specks of light appeared, slowly gathering together and illuminating the room.
Xia Bai saw the little corpse in his arms more clearly. There was a small eye shape on the bridge of his nose. He was not sure, it might not be an eye.
He couldn't be sure and didn't know how the islanders had been sure of it.
The little body is very light, I don’t know if it weighs even a pound.
Xia Bai returned him to Bai Gu. The moment he was in Bai Gu's arms, the little corpse's hands grabbed. No one knew what he wanted to grab, but he grabbed his mother's tears.
Xia Bai asked her: "Can't you leave here?"
Bai Gu lowered her head and said, "It's not just me."
Walking onto the light path, Xia Bai, who was about to leave, saw the two crazy players slowly waking up, with confusion, surprise, tears, and something else on their faces.
He understood what Bai Gu said.
Everyone has a Blue Tea Island in their heart.
Maybe invisible at times, but ever present, occasionally judging itself, never or always atoning for itself.
[Congratulations to you, the corpse collector Xia Bai, for successfully unlocking the Blue Tea Island map. ]
[The game is calculating, please wait. ]
[The rewards and achievements obtained by the corpse collector Xia Baiben map are as follows:]
[Game points: 4812700]
[Skill progress: Skill level 187, two new corpses, new body skill [Medusa's Hair], new soul skill [Harmless Face], please go to the skill book for details. ]
[Congratulations, corpse collector Xia Bai. ]
Xia Bai returned to the restaurant of Blue Tea Island.
There is only one hotel on Blue Tea Island and not many people. After the local tourism authority detected that gamers had arrived on Blue Tea Island, they sent people directly over without any cover-up.
Xia Bai took a look and found that in addition to the five players who had died in the game before, there were still two players who had not come out. Seventeen people entered the game, but only ten came out.
This time, the game spits out dead players, too.
It's a bit unfortunate that there are only five bodies.
The psychic glanced at Xia Bai, who looked confused, as if he knew nothing.
The new players looked at those people who died tragically and fell silent.
Ling Changye opened the door of the restaurant. The people from the Tourism Administration branch glanced at him, not recognizing him, and hurriedly took the body bag to collect the body. Xia Bai skillfully helped them collect the body. The people from the Tourism Administration branch glanced at him, not recognizing him, but seeing how skillful he was, they did not stop him.
The person who came in later glanced at them and said in surprise: "Are you all new players? So many of you came out? That's amazing!"
Xia Bai and Ling Changye felt embarrassed, so they did not show their real faces and kept on wearing disguises.
The same thing happened to the psychic, who felt even more ashamed.
Only Old Yang stood up and said, "Logistics Department of the Tourism Administration General Administration...Former rescue team leader Yang Zongguang."
Everyone at the Tourism Administration branch stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.
Old Yang lowered his head slightly, his fingers still trembling. After saying this, he said nothing else.
The people from the branch took all of them to the local police station. On the way, Xia Bai secretly explained to his parents what they were going to do at the police station, and then said that he was going to slip away.
Jiang Yitong very cooperatively asked him in a low voice: "Why did you want to run away? Aren't you a member of the assault team? You performed so well in the game."
Xia Bai only said: "I don't want to get involved in too many things."
After his parents told him where to gather, they let him slip away and cooperated with them.
Xia Bai and Ling Changye slipped away together, along with a psychic who looked like a tail.
The three of them looked at each other on the street of the island and remained silent.
The Game Management Bureau does not force all players to register with it, and there will be no pursuit if players do not go, so it’s okay if they escape. It just makes it difficult for new players to replay the game.
Not to mention them, even the psychics couldn't completely replay the game. He stood on the street, looking like an old man, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Not bad, it took me a long way."
Ling Changye said very politely, "You're welcome."
Psychic: "How did you find the truth?"
Xia Bai: "With hard work."
“…”
The psychic exhaled and continued to ask: "Where are the bodies of Medusa and Yu Yin? You are a person who loves to carry corpses from the cemetery. Don't tell me that you don't know where their bodies are?"
Xia Bai: "Then I won't say anything."
“…”
The frown on the old man's face trembled, "A person's soul skills are related to experience. Your skills must be related to corpses."
"Take your time to guess. Anyway, my game points are not even high enough to make it into the leaderboard. You can't guess my game identity."
“…”
The psychic was angry and left.
Xia Bai approached Ling Changye with a smile, holding his hand and waiting for his parents.
They didn't come out until two hours later, and the local branch of the Tourism Administration sent them back to Blue Tea Island. Xia Bai and Ling Changye also went back.
After returning, I was met with slightly resentful looks from Jiang Yitong and Jiang Qingfeng.
Ling Changye didn't dare to speak. Xia Bai touched his head and asked, "Mom and Dad, did you guys replay the game okay?"
Jiang Yitong: "Okay, okay, when asked questions, just keep saying "The boss said it, the boss checked it, the boss did it."
“…”
Fortunately, after Yang Yi left the institute, the institute was not so strict about game review. The assault team was allowed to complete tasks and write reports in the game, and new players who were taken out of the game would not be embarrassed.
Xia Bai didn't see Lao Yang, so he asked, "Where's Lao Yang?"
Jiang Qingfeng said: "When Lao Yang was reviewing the game, he confessed everything he did in the game. I heard someone from the branch called your headquarters. It seemed to be a woman from the logistics department who asked them to send Lao Yang back to the headquarters."
He was a little worried about Lao Yang, "I don't know how he will be punished."
Ling Changye took the initiative to say, "That woman should be the head of the logistics department, Wei Zhengyu. She was the one who told Lao Yang that our laws have not yet been introduced into the game. The current situation is similar to when she said this. What happens between players in the game cannot be controlled by the Game Management Bureau for the time being. The Education Institute only deals with players who endanger society in the real world."
They all understood the meaning of the words.
Ling Changye continued, "If Dad is worried, we can go to the Tourism Administration Headquarters to check."
“…”
Xia Bai glanced at Ling Changye and gave him a thumbs up.
Ling Changye covered his hand with a smile.
Jiang Qingfeng really wanted to take a look, but more importantly, the two people who had found their son didn't want to go on vacation anymore and were eager to take their son home, so they left the island early the next morning, planning to go to the Tourism Administration first and then return to Bac Ninh City.
Even if they flew over early in the morning, they were still a step too late.
Wei Zhengyu told them: "Old Yang is gone."
Ling Changye asked: "Where did you go?"
Wei Zhengyu: "I've returned to his home. I'll tell you his address. He will go to the Education Institute for education, so he has registered his address."
Before going to Bac Ninh City, the four of them went to Lao Yang's home in Fengning City.
It was a small villa on the first floor of a suburban building with a yard. Before they got close, they heard the meowing of cats, not just one.
The person who opened the door for them was an unexpected person.
Xia Bai stared at the young man in front of him for a moment and said, "Long time no see, Song Mingliang."
