Killing God

It was quiet on the beach, Sun You didn't seem to know Shen Shi, he looked at Shen Shi with an indifferent face holding a sharp knife in astonishment, while Hou Sheng and the other three teenagers were also dumbfounded at this moment, even standing aside The red clam girl Hai Xing also looked at Shen Shi who was splattered with shrimp blood with a hint of surprise. .

Maybe it's because the body structure of the ghost-faced shrimp is different from that of domestic animals such as pigs and sheep. Although Shen Shi's knife went down and shocked his companions, the effect was not as clean as that of the red clam man before. Under this knife, he didn't die. Although he was dying, his hands and feet were still struggling and swinging.

Shen Shi frowned, and after hesitating for a moment, he swung his knife and chopped down again, this time finally killing the blue sea shrimp.Then, under the gaze of everyone, without saying a word, as the sea urchin demonstrated before, he inserted the thin and sharp blade into the gap in the hard shell of the ghost-faced shrimp's abdomen, and began to peel the shell.

When the sea urchin kills the ghost-faced shrimp, it then peels the shell and takes the meat. All the movements are done in one go, fast and smooth, but when it comes to Shen Shi, it suddenly becomes stumbling. Wait, only then did Shen Shi realize that the seam of the shrimp was not a straight line, but rather inconspicuous and dark with many twists and turns. When peeling the shell, he must grasp the knife and keep changing the direction, so as to find a space to peel the shell of the shrimp.

The sharp blade started a long and difficult struggle against the hard shell of the shrimp. The blue blood kept flowing out from the wound, covering the ground around where he was standing, and half of his body was covered with bruises. Splattered with blood, it looked like a monster bathed in a strange blue, exuding a strong bloody and murderous aura.

The faces of the teenagers who were watching by the side slowly changed. Two of them turned around suddenly and left. The only ones left were Sun You, who was trying to keep his composure, and that little fat man, Hou Sheng.It's just that when the blade in Shen Shi's hand kept making teeth-stinging and even creepy clicking sounds after rubbing against the hard shell, seeing the terrifying scene in the pool of blood, even the two of them couldn't bear it for a while. .

The corners of Hou Sheng's mouth twitched twice, and he muttered a few words in a low voice, as if he was saying something like "You're cruel", and finally turned around and left, it seems that he still couldn't accept the strange task of the Red Clam Village.As for Sun You, who was born in an aristocratic family with rich clothes and fine food, he had never seen such a bloody scene before today. To be able to persist until now, to be honest, even he himself admired himself a little.

However, looking at the ghost-faced shrimp with more than half of their shells peeled off the ground and the big pool of blue blood, Sun You still asked himself that he couldn't stand the scene, so he forced a smile and walked to Shen Shi's side, With a dry smile: "Shen Shi, you, you are amazing... I still can't do this, so I will go back first." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, as if wanting to pat Shen Shi on the shoulder to encourage him, but looking at Shen Shi Lan Youyou's tainted blood exuded a strong bloody smell, and the palm froze in mid-air, unable to slap for a while.

Shen Shi raised his head, glanced at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded to Sun You, and said, "Go back first."

Sun You took a deep breath, but what he inhaled was full of strong bloody smell. He almost vomited out of his stomach immediately, his face turned pale, he hurriedly greeted Shen Shi, turned around and ran away, it seemed that he couldn't wait to leave the red The farther away from Bangcun, the better.

The sea breeze is blowing, the sea water is clear, and the sound of rushing waves is not far away. The sky is high and the sea is wide, as if you are in a paradise, except for Shenshi.

All the human teenagers left in the end, except him.

He looked at the blue blood on his body, then at the ghost-faced shrimp on the ground that was struggling to peel off the ordinary shrimp shell, then squatted down again in silence, the blade started to struggle again in the small but hard shrimp shell, Little by little the blue shrimp shell was opened, and the blue blood flowed continuously along with the blade.

I don't know how much time has passed like this. Sweat broke out on Shen Shi's forehead, and he finally cut open the shrimp seam that looks simple but actually twists and turns beyond imagination. The white and tender shrimp meat.

He threw down the knife, reached out to grab the prawn meat, and pulled it as hard as the sea urchin before, and finally completed the last step, taking out the prawn meat of the ghost noodle shrimp.

The sea breeze blows, and there are a few crisp calls of seabirds flying in the wind from a distance.

Suddenly a sea bowl was handed to him beside him, Shen Shi turned his head to look, and saw that the beautiful red clam girl Hai Xing took out a big bowl out of nowhere, holding it gently beside him on the ground, and then said: "Put the shrimp meat here."

Stared at by Shen Shi at such a close distance, Hai Xing seemed a little uncomfortable, subconsciously took two steps back, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.But right now there is only Shen Shi, a young boy, and Hai Xing seems to be a lot more courageous than before. He secretly raised his eyes and looked at him again, and couldn't help but said: "Your method of peeling shrimp is a bit slow, You can kill less than a hundred of them in one day."

Shen Shi threw the white and tender shrimp meat into the big sea bowl, smiled at Hai Xing, and said: "Well, I'm not skilled at this at first, so I won't get up soon, uh..." He suddenly froze. Seeing that his expression was a little nervous, he frowned and asked Hai Xing: "Can you make up for the unfinished business today? Or do you mean that the village must kill a hundred ghost-faced shrimps a day?"

Hai Xing shook his head immediately, and said: "That's not true, no matter how long it takes you, even if it's three days, five days, ten days and half a month, as long as the amount you give to me is enough, I will exchange you a spirit crystal .”

Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said: "That's good, I'll try again."

As he spoke, he stood up straight, stretched his waist, and after moving for a while, leaned over to the shrimp cage and caught a lively ghost-faced shrimp.Hai Xing looked at this human youth from the side for a long time, and after talking to each other a few words, he gradually became more courageous, and was no longer as shy as before.It's just that she still seems to be very disgusted with the ghost-faced shrimp. When Shen Shi was about to slaughter the shrimp, she hurriedly took a few steps back, but she didn't run as far away from Shen Shi as before, but squatted a few feet away. On the beach a few steps away, he casually drew inexplicable patterns on the sand with his hands.

"Pfft!" With a muffled sound, the sharp blade pierced the ghost-faced shrimp's vital neck again, and the blue dirty blood spurted out again.

Hai Xing turned his head and glanced at Shen Shi, only to see that the human youth was once again splashed with blue blood all over his body, looking even more dirty and bloody.It's just that she doesn't seem to have any fear of this somewhat bloody scene, at most she just seems to hate those blue bloods very much, but the expression in her eyes looking at Shen Shi from time to time is a little more curious.

※※※

Practice makes perfect, dripping water wears away a stone.

If you do a lot of things, you will always find some tricks, and gradually start to be handy, just like when he was very young, he started to draw those difficult and complicated runes.

The blue shrimp blood splashed and fell on the beach, and was rolled up and washed by the clear sea water, as if it was born in the sea and returned to the sea at last, completing a cycle of life.Among them, the knife rose and fell, and the bright light of the knife waved up and down on the beach.

Chen Shi had a hard time killing every ghost-faced shrimp, every time he peeled off the shell, the small, hard and dark cracks of the shrimp made him suffer a lot.But I don't know why, under the blue sky and white clouds, in the sea breeze, he has never given up.

When he killed the second ghost-faced shrimp, his clothes were completely soaked, but he didn't know whether it was soaked in sweat or splashed with blue shrimp blood.That is to say, when slaughtering this ghost-faced shrimp, Shen Shi seemed to have finally pinpointed a certain vital point on the ghost-faced shrimp's neck, and with one stab, the ghost-faced shrimp died immediately. There was no more struggle, and finally there was no need to spend a second knife.

When the third ghost-faced shrimp was killed, Shen Shi seemed to move faster when the blade inserted into the seam of the shrimp was peeling. Fang turned his wrist slightly, and the blade moved past him naturally.

When he got to the fourth ghost-faced shrimp, Shen Shi seemed to have figured out some subtle turning points at the front of the shrimp seam, and the sliding speed of the blade gradually became smoother.

And when he grabbed the fifth ghost-faced shrimp, Shen Shi was already breathing heavily and looked tired.After he gritted his teeth and finally dealt with the ghost-faced shrimp, and finally pulled out the white and tender shrimp meat and threw it into the sea bowl, he stood up and said to Hai Xing:

"Let's kill here today, and I'll come back tomorrow."

Hai Xing, who had been squatting not far away, blinked, looked up at the sky, hesitated, and said, "It's not too late, the sun hasn't set yet."

Shen Shi smiled, turned his already sore neck, waved his sore arm, and said: "It's almost there, don't rush this moment, otherwise it will cost too much today, and maybe you won't be able to kill him tomorrow." How many."

Hai Xing looked at him with obvious curiosity in his eyes, and said, "This is the first time I've heard what you said."

Shen Shi smiled and said: "My father told me a truth before, saying that if a person wants to do something well or learn a skill well, it's useless to be anxious for a while, the most important thing is to calm down. Persistence is fundamental.”

Starfish let out a "huh", frowned slightly, and the red clam shell beside her body swayed twice, as if thinking about the words Shen Shi said in her heart, but she didn't seem to understand it very well.

Shen Shi picked up the sea bowl on the ground, walked up to her, handed it to her, and said: "Today, there are five pieces of shrimp meat. I will come back tomorrow. I think there should be more than today."

Hai Xing took the big bowl containing ghost noodles shrimp meat, and immediately jumped back a few steps like a frightened little rabbit, covering his nose with his hand.Shen Shi glanced at himself, laughed, and said: "You red clam people seem to hate this kind of shrimp blood."

Hai Xing waved his hand, and walked two steps away from Shen Shi. At this moment, his complexion improved, and he said, "Yes. By the way, this kind of blue blood is best washed in sea water, it is easy to wash off. If you go back If you wash it with spring water or fresh water on the island, it will be stained on your clothes, and it will not be washed off for several months."

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and said: "There is such a thing." He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Then...Miss Haixing, can you please turn your head around?"

Hai Xing tilted his head and said, "What are you doing?"

Shen Shi didn't know what to say for a while, and said: "I want to go to the sea to wash."

Hai Xing waved his hand and said, "Then go wash it quickly."

Shen Shi glanced at her, and after a while, nodded, then reached out and unbuttoned the placket, and began to take off his clothes.
