Chapter 118 Blue Tea Island 12
When the old man heard Xia Bai say that she was pregnant, he suddenly became quiet and stared at his belly with wide eyes.
Xia Bai also looked at her quietly. Seeing that the old woman was mentally unstable, he deliberately said that she was pregnant, hoping to see if he could find out from her whether Bai Gu was pregnant.
"Pregnant?" the old man asked again.
Xia Bai nodded, "Yes."
The next second, the old man knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Xia Bai's stomach, "Sea God, Sea God, Sea God bless you!"
The two were slightly stunned.
The old man kowtowed very hard, making loud "bang bang bang" sounds. After a few kowtows, blood came out from his forehead and flowed down along the corners of his eyebrows.
Seeing this, Xia Bai did not help her, but continued: "Do you know that the one in my belly is the Sea God?"
"I know, I know." The old man bit his finger and stammered, "I know, Master Li said that there is a sea god in my belly, and the sea god has come."
Xia Bai was about to ask something when he saw a sudden smile on the old woman's face. It was so fast and so big that it seemed to explode on her face. Her eyes were strangely wide open when she smiled, and the wrinkles on her whole face moved like fireworks.
"You don't deserve it, hey, you don't deserve it." The old woman smiled like this, the blood on her forehead flowed into her wrinkles, the gloating in her smile, the malice colder than a ghost, she pointed at Xia Bai and said: "You don't deserve it, you..."
"What are you doing!?"
A sharp rebuke interrupted the old man's words, and the matchmaker ran over from a distance, pointing at them and loudly asking: "What did you do to my mother!"
They didn't do anything, they were frightened by her. But when they saw the blood on the old man's forehead, they were silent for a second, and then they ran away in the dark in tacit understanding.
Xia Baixin said that it was not that he was afraid of her, but it was troublesome to explain. Time was tight and it was important to find clues.
The two ran to the house of the brother who sold the boat, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Mrs. Matchmaker hadn't caught up with them.
Xia Bai looked at Ling Changye and suddenly laughed out loud. It was the first time he saw Ling Changye so leisurely.
Ling Changye's response was to look at his belly, and the usual smile on his face was replaced by a serious look, as if he was considering, can he really have a child there?
Xia Bai: “…”
Xia Bai covered his stomach and quickly turned his attention back to the game, "Captain, did you get anything?"
Ling Changye's gaze returned to his face. "I saw a man commit suicide. It should be her husband. His death was similar to the player's. He was crazy and hit his head against a pillar and died."
Xia Bai said: "So her husband's death is related to Bai Haixian, also known as Bai Gu."
"Then what did she mean by those words? Whose belly... is there a sea god in my belly? Is it Bai Gu? The child in Bai Gu's belly is the sea god, so she was able to change from a kidnapped and bullied girl to the current Bai Gu?"
"The old man just mentioned a Mr. Li, who might be an important person. Let's go ask the boat seller about him."
Xia Bai: "Okay."
They were near the house of the brother who sold the boat, so it was convenient to go over and ask around.
It seems that the eldest brother has made a lot of money tonight. He has a gold necklace and a watch in his hand. He must be in a good mood. Seeing their smiles, he said, "Hey, you are a regular customer."
This guy seems to be easy to talk to and willing to say anything, but in fact he is a bit slippery. What he says is almost the same as everyone else, and he becomes speechless when the key points are touched upon.
Xia Bai asked him: "Who is Master Li?"
The eldest brother looked at him, then looked down at his baby.
really.
Xia Bai used Yu Yin's charm skills, and seeing that his eyes were a little empty, he asked again: "Who is Master Li?"
Big Brother: “That’s an old bastard!”
“…”
The eldest brother laughed and said, "But he is dead. Now it is Bai Gu's world."
"Is Master Li related to the Sea God?" Xia Bai asked. The old man was talking about the Sea God, not Bai Haixian.
The eldest brother added: "Now it is the world of Bai Haixian."
The two understood.
Master Li and Gu Bai have the same identities on Blue Tea Island, corresponding to the Sea God and the White Sea Fairy, one is in the past and the other is in the present.
Maybe what Master Li said at that time was the child in Bai Gu's belly was the reincarnation of the sea god.
That child is related to the Sea God and now the White Sea Fairy.
They both thought of the last time they went to Bai Gu's residence, they didn't see her son, but they saw a statue of the White Sea Fairy.
When they were about to leave, the eldest brother, who was still being charmed, suddenly shouted, "Fuck you, you are guilty. How is my wife guilty?"
“…”
Xia Bai asked: "Who said your wife is guilty?"
"They said that when my wife got married, they made her cry. They beat my wife. They are guilty of it. Men are guilty too. I cry! I am going to cry!"
Not sure if it was attracted by his shouting, but a woman appeared not far in front of them.
The woman looked to be about the same age as the eldest brother, about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. Although a little dark, she was really beautiful, with bright eyes and a gentle smile - when she was looking at the eldest brother who was selling the boat.
"When I got married, I mean when I got married for the first time, they forced me to cry. I also knew that if I cried at that time, my life would be much better after marriage. But I didn't want to, so they beat me. It turns out he knew everything." said the woman.
"I thought that this was your elder brother's first marriage, and he even said that he was marrying into the wife's family." Xia Bai said.
"He always tells people that. How can it be called marrying into the wife's family?" the woman said. "I didn't know it then, but now I know that he knew how I was beaten, and that's why he didn't want me to cry."
"At that time, Bai Gu said that there would always be crying at weddings in Lancha Island. What should I do if I didn't cry? He said he was crying because he was marrying into the family. He cried so loudly that they were all scared." As she said this, she laughed.
Xia Bai glanced at the brother who was selling the boat who was gradually sobering up. He didn't expect that his brother was such a good husband.
The eldest brother touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Ling Changye said: "Brother did this because he must know that you have suffered a lot, and all the women on this Blue Tea Island have suffered."
The woman smiled, as if reminiscing. "I remember the first time I learned to cry was when I was five years old. My mother told me to cry loudly. The louder I cried, the more tears I shed, the better."
"I told my mom, but I don't want to cry. Don't I only cry when I'm sad? I'm very happy."
"Xuanxuan, you know that you have to cry even if you are happy. You have to learn to cry, even if it is fake crying, otherwise they will make you cry for real." The young woman said to her young daughter.
At that time, Li Xuan vaguely realized for the first time that on Blue Tea Island, women had no right to be happy.
"Why?" She pursed her lips and asked her mother softly.
"Maybe it's because we are guilty," said my mother. "But it doesn't matter. Just cry as much as you want. Once you cry well, you will get married and have children, and then you have the right to be happy."
Li Xuan said: "Girls on Blue Tea Island grow up crying. Girls who don't cry well will be pointed at and scolded. We have a school here, and there are lessons for girls on how to cry. Boys don't have to learn. Every day during this class, boys will lie on the window and comment on which girl cries the most beautifully."
"Master Li said that tears are a girl's pearls. The more tears a girl has, the better she will marry. Tears can also wash away the sins a girl is born with. Only enough tears can wash away the sins in a girl's body and bring happiness."
"That's why you have to cry all day on your wedding day. That's why the in-laws like girls who cry well on their wedding day. They are clean, sinless daughters-in-law who can marry into the family."
Li Xuan looked at them and smiled faintly: "Do you think it's outrageous?"
Her gaze shifted to the endless sea in the darkness. "But we were taught this way since we were young. We believed this way. We didn't think there was anything wrong with it until a girl told us that this was wrong."
"She said that girls' tears are pearls, and pearls are beautiful and precious."
"It was the first time I knew that pearls are precious. Our Blue Tea Island is full of pearls. We scooped up boatloads of mother-of-pearls every time. They are rejected because they are inedible. In some places, you would hold the seawater pearls in your hands, but here many of them fell into the mud."
Xia Bai said: "That girl is Bai Gu."
Li Xuan smiled but said nothing. Her eyes were bright and it was unknown what she was thinking about. "I was beaten and there are still scars on my back, but I am very happy. I am so happy."
That day, she seemed to see a more distant sky, as if she had obtained a seed.
A girl was beaten until she bled during her wedding, but she didn't cry. On the wedding day, she was broken off from engagement while lying on the ground. Master Li said that no man in the entire Blue Tea Island was willing to marry a girl like her, as it was too shameful.
"It's better not to marry a man from Blue Tea Island. Sister Xuanxuan, they are not worthy of you. You are only fifteen years old, and you will definitely meet a good man." A girl sat next to her and put a beautiful pearl ring on her hand.
"What's a good man like?" she asked.
The girl was silent, she didn't say anything, and she hugged her arm that had just healed the scar.
So, she didn't know the answer, but she really encountered it.
Li Xuan waved to the boat-selling brother. The pearl on the ring on her ring finger sparkled brightly in the sunless night, as if a ray of sunlight had secretly escaped into her hand under the moonlight.
The boat seller immediately ran to her side and said, "My dear wife."
“…”
Xia Bai then remembered that the bride also wore a pearl ring on her hand when she got married, and he had also seen other women wearing pearl rings on Blue Tea Island.
Seeing Li Xuan about to enter the seaweed house, Xia Bai asked loudly, "Why is the bride who got married two days ago crying?"
It should be said that is why Bai Gu made her cry.
"Maybe she needs to remember that marriage is not an easy and happy thing. For some people, marriage is the beginning of suffering. She needs to be mentally prepared and enter marriage with this idea in mind."
"Honey, that's not the case. I didn't have that thought when I was crying. I was..."
As the boat seller chattered on, the two men walked into their seaweed house.
"Last time I communicated with him through spiritualism, I saw scenes of him and his wife together." Ling Changye said, "Just now I communicated with him through spiritualism again, and saw scenes before he came to Blue Tea Island."
Ling Changye was talking about the brother who sold the boat.
"He seemed to have severe depression. He kept taking medicine in a small room. There were several scars on his wrists. This might be related to his visit to Blue Tea Island."
Xia Bai was slightly stunned. "He doesn't look depressed at all. He is the happiest person I have seen on Blue Tea Island."
"noob!"
When Xia Bai heard Jiang Yitong calling him, he immediately turned around.
Jiang Yitong came running over, breathlessly telling them what they had discovered: "Aunt Bai, there's something wrong with Bai's child. He has an extra eye!"
Xia Bai and Ling Changye thought of the eyes on the statue at the same time.
Jiang Yitong: "Could it have anything to do with that statue?"
She had the same idea as them.
"We have to hurry." Jiang Yitong said, "Old Yang has also committed suicide. Your father has tied him to a tree now. I don't know how long he can hold out. The other three players are also starting to become mentally unstable."
Ling Changye said: "Let's go to Bai Gu's residence."
The three of them hurried towards Bai Gu's seaweed house.
On the way, Xia Bai suddenly asked Jiang Yitong: "Mom, do you like pearls?"
"I like it." Jiang Yitong didn't ask why he asked this question at this time, and answered him directly.
Xia Bai: "Are saltwater pearls much more expensive than freshwater pearls? What's the difference?"
"I feel that the biggest difference between them is that seawater pearls cannot be kept in captivity and will not be harvested in a short period of time, so they can grow so bright and beautiful." Jiang Yitong said to her son, "They are not big, but very bright. Some people say they are little suns on the seabed."
The last time Xia Bai and Ling Changye came to Bai Gu’s seaweed house, they knew that in the south-facing room, there were no beds or cabinets, only a statue of the White Sea Fairy.
Xia Bai and Ling Chang climbed in through the window swiftly.
"Mom, wait for me to pull you, I..." Xia Bai's words were stuck in his throat. Aunt Bai was sitting in the room looking at them expressionlessly.
"Okay, son, Mom is ready, pull Mom in." Jiang Yitong shouted from outside.
Xia Bai: “…”
I'm sorry, Mom, I can't pull you up.
Bai Gu walked past them and reached out to pull Jiang Yitong outside. Ling Changye kicked the window and said to Xia Bai, "Close your eyes!"
Xia Bai heard the seriousness in Ling Changye's voice and closed his eyes immediately. As soon as he closed his eyes, he guessed why Ling Changye wanted him to close his eyes. He opened his eyes again, "I think I am more innocent than you. Let me reveal his true face!"
By now, it is clear that Bai Gu's child has a very close relationship with the statue, which is the key clue of the game and also the cause of Bai Gu's death.
But the truth will not be found so easily and smoothly.
Sure enough, Xia Bai saw that the eyes of the statue came alive and looked at him.
Xia Bai was not afraid of being watched. He had never done anything against the law. He guessed that in this game he must be more innocent than Ling Changye and could withstand the strongest pollution.
Just as he took a step towards the statue, Xia Bai stopped.
He saw Ling Changye's father standing in front of him.
He shook his head. Ling Changye's father did not disappear, and there was a new president. They were all looking at him.
"Xiaobai, are you doing well? Are you happy in the rest of your life that you have exchanged for our lives?"
Xia Bai stood stiffly where he was, staring at them in a daze.
"ah!--"
Bai Gu screamed, "No! My son!"
Xia Bai came back to his senses and turned around to see Bai Gu squatting on the ground, holding her head with both hands, "Don't take my son away!"
Ling Changye stood in front of her, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
He used the psychic skill again, and it was the soul attack skill. But he had almost used up the number of psychic skills today, and his mental strength was almost exhausted.
When Xia Bai saw this, his arms went limp and immediately grew earthworm arms, and the earthworms quickly rushed towards the statue.
"Ahhh! If you dare I will..."
Bai Gu immediately rushed towards Xia Bai, but Ling Changye grabbed her arm and pulled her back, "If you dare, I will pull your son out of your soul."
In these short two seconds, the earthworm arm had already knocked open the statue, like an eggshell. After the statue was smashed, the contents inside were revealed.
It was the shriveled body of a baby, a very small, premature baby.
I don’t know how many years have passed, maybe twenty years, but the baby’s body has not rotted yet. Even the umbilical cord is still there, and the eye, which is connected to a piece of the statue fragment, is blinking as if it is breathing.
But Xia Bai said, "He's dead."
He was dead, even though it looked like it was being kept alive in a strange way, Xia Bai knew better than anyone else and could sense that he was dead, it was the corpse of a baby.
"You're talking nonsense!" Bai Gu shouted at Xia Bai sharply, but she had just shouted one sentence when the second half of the sentence got stuck. She stared blankly at Xia Bai and her son.
His son threw himself into Xia Bai's arms.
The corpse intimacy that comes with Xia Bai's corpse scavenger skill will increase a little every time the skill is upgraded. He hasn't seen a corpse in the game for a long time, and this time he finally has the chance to try it.
The corpse was indeed more intimate to him than in the Peace Medical College copy.
She doesn't need him to touch or rub her, as long as he opens his arms, she will jump into his arms.
"He is really dead. Only a corpse would treat me like this." Xia Bai said to Bai Gu again while holding the shriveled little corpse.
Bai Gu was about to reach out her hand again, but when she saw the corpse in his arms, she pulled her hand back. She was about to reach out to attack again, but pulled her hand back again. She repeated this several times, then staggered and sat on the ground, staring at the dead baby with red eyes.
When Xia Bai and Ling Changye first met Bai Gu, they thought she was weirdly serious and her tone of voice was also strange. Only now did they see the lively expression that a person should have on her face. Even though she was sad and confused, she seemed to be alive.
Xia Bai said: "The son is them. It was cut out from your belly by Master Li. It is the child of you and the one you love."
"Yes." Bai Gu said, no longer hiding it. Perhaps it was the last half of the sentence that she couldn't deny, and she wanted to admit it.
Xia Bai asked: "Why did he take it out of your stomach?"
"Why?" Bai Gu smiled, her smile was very mocking, "Because I don't deserve it."
She was not a very obedient or outstanding girl. She was together with the person she liked before she went to college. Her parents and teachers all said that one should not fall in love too early, especially for girls, as falling in love too early would bring disadvantages.
She just didn't listen. Her most beautiful and purest student days were all about having a passionate love affair.
She is a rebellious girl at heart. She knows that she is not as well-behaved and excellent as she appears to be, but she never expected that one day she would be deemed unworthy of having a child.
Aunt Bai's real name is Bai Yu. She originally grew up in a relatively happy family. She was not good at speaking but was a senior high school student with good grades.
That day she was waiting for the boy she loved, and the boy said he would take her home to meet his parents.
She waited from the afternoon until dark, thinking that she had been cheated and that he would not share the responsibility with her, when she was tied up in a car and saw that he was dead.
When she woke up again, she was looking at the endless sea and asked, where is he?
A man pointed to the sea behind the boat, where blood was spreading and there was a group of fish with sharp teeth.
When she was eighteen, she was trafficked to a remote and secluded island. The boy she loved most was eaten by the fish around the island, like a blooming red flower, sending her into another world.
She watched the blood fade away and listened to the two men who tied her say that she was bought with a basket of pearls.
"Each of them is top-quality seawater pearls. She even said she would buy a few more from us in the future, hehehe."
“Why do you buy so much?”
"I heard that there are fewer and fewer girls on this island, and the gender ratio is seriously unbalanced. I don't know why."
She didn't know why until two months after arriving at Blue Tea Island.
In the first month, she kept trying to escape. She tried again and again, but failed over and over again. After so many times, she would be beaten and locked in the house.
Three girls would come secretly to bring her medicine and food.
A beautiful girl said to her, "Sister, they beat you because you didn't cry. If you cry, they will stop beating you, really."
Bai Yu said sternly: "Why should I cry to them! Will they believe in tears? I would rather die than cry to them!"
The three girls looked at her in shock, as if she had said something so shocking that it left them speechless for a long time.
The next day, they came again secretly.
The beautiful girl named Li Xuan whispered to her, "Sister, tears are useful to them. Believe me, if you cry, they will stop beating you and stop not giving you food."
"Then I won't cry to them. I would rather die than beg for mercy from them."
The three girls still looked at her in shock, as if they were looking at a new species, and did not speak for a long time.
She didn't give up and was finally released. She jumped into the sea again and was caught again.
They did not give up and came to see her again, secretly bringing her quilts and food, and each of them brought a cushion, as if they wanted to have a long talk with her.
"Sister, sister, look." A girl shouted outside the window. She was annoyed by the shouting, so she walked to the window and stood on tiptoe to look out.
When I looked up, I saw a girl's clean and beautiful face under the moonlight. The girl blinked her long eyelashes and a big, crystal clear tear came out of her eyes.
Because they were so close and the girl tilted her head back, she could see it very clearly. The big tear first appeared in her eyes, wetting each of her long eyelashes, and then rolled down from the corners of her eyes, leaving long, thin tear marks on her cheeks and falling into her slender neck.
Bai Yu was stunned.
Those were the most beautiful tears she had ever seen, like a star falling.
She read a magazine at school that said many female stars couldn't cry, had to use eye drops, or were scolded by the director and cried.
At that time, she thought that if this girl could act, she would definitely become a household name.
"Sister, have you learned to cry? It doesn't matter if you haven't learned it. Xuanxuan can teach you again. She is recognized by all the boys in the school as the girl who cries the most beautifully." said the girl next to her.
Another drop flowed from Li Xuan's other eye, and she smiled and said, "Well, sister, it's okay if you can't cry. We will teach you."
“…”
Two months later, Bai Yu no longer wanted to escape.
Because she found out she was pregnant.
Because she found out that she was not the most miserable girl in the world, there were many very miserable and stupid girls here.
