sundowners.
The fire red afterglow is reflected in the magnificent sea, as if the sea water is burning. With the ups and downs of the sea waves, it becomes more real and bright, even reddening the whole sky.
A sea wind with fishy smell blew past, sweeping up waves, which hit the cliffs of an island, arousing countless water spray. One after another, like a piece of music with rhythm.
However, this copy should be a beautiful picture, which was broken by a loud noise from the island shore.
At this time, a large group of people were standing on the shore, holding buckets in front of them and hurriedly filling the sea water with curses.
"These damned pirates stole things and set them on fire!!"
"Don't complain. It's good to set fire this time. It's good to kill no one. Hurry up to fight the fire!"
"Hum! No killing... Tang Ge has been beaten like that. It's not sure whether he can survive. What's the difference between killing people like this?"
"It's all Roger's fault. He said that the pirate didn't have a good thing when he broke the big secret treasure. He even set fire after robbing the property... Damn it!"
“……”
While talking, a group of middle-aged men kept moving in their hands and ran towards the island at high speed with a bucket of seawater on it.
Fire is supposed to be a symbol of light, but also an indispensable existence in life. It can bring warmth and happiness to people.
In the same way, fire is also a fierce and merciless devil, and even valuable life will be burned to death.
"Beep beep beep beep"
In the north of the island, there is a fire in a village
The flaming fire is expanding its claws and teeth without fear. It is like a devil, trying to devour all the wooden houses in the village.
In the village, cries and screams came and went one after another.
"Hurry up, keep away with the children!" An old man on crutches covered his chest, watching the endless fire spreading around, shouted to several women with children.
Then, while hitting the ground with his crutch, he said eagerly, "Alas... don't stop, go on splashing water to fight the fire!"
After saying that, he shivered unconsciously. He didn't know whether he was choking or old. He coughed from time to time. However, he was obviously anxious.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
A group of women took pots and pans and poured the water out.
Seeing that the water taken out from home with difficulty will be used up, but the fire is still not reduced, my heart gradually became anxious.
The flames began to become more reckless with the sea breeze blowing. As the wind rotates, it sways wildly and soon becomes a sea of fire.
The fire roared out smoke, and the gray smoke swirled into the air as if the devil were venting.
The old man looked at the few water containers on the ground, looked anxiously toward the mountain path, and did not forget the command: "Take the children to the front of the slope, and see how Tang Ge is doing? The child is too desperate!"
On a slope not far from the village, a dozen figures were lying flat on it, none of them was wrapped with hemostatic gauze, but some were burned, and some were injured by the pirates before.
Among the wounded, there was a teenager with short hair who was covered with gauze, like a mummy.
"Tang Ge, don't frighten me... You must be strong! I promised your sister to take care of you, so you must be strong." A young woman came to the boy and said softly.
The woman is about 1.7 meters tall, with long golden hair on her shoulders, and tears dancing under her curved eyebrows. The white skin has no blood color at the moment, and looks haggard.
The boy who was bound into a mummy was silent, lying flat on the grass and motionless, looking at the broad sea with his head tilted.
The beautiful sunset reminded him of the scenes he had spent with his sister before.
"Sister, five years ago, I have almost forgotten what you look like. How are you doing?" Tang Ge felt pain in his heart, felt his eyelids become extremely heavy, and gradually closed his eyes.
When he closed his eyes, the past began to emerge. He regretted that he was not brave enough to protect his sister.
In his memory, he did not know who his parents were. From childhood, he mostly depended on his sister.
I thought I could live and work in peace and contentment with the residents here, but the good times are not long. Everything comes too suddenly.
Eighteen years ago, the great pirate, Gore D. Roger, was famous all over the world for his mysterious secret treasure before his execution. The era of the Great Pirates began. Since then, the world has gone crazy.
Five years ago, in the vast sea. A pirate group came to their village and not only robbed the residents of their money, but also took away his only relatives.
Just today, the hateful pirate came to this village again. Although not the same group five years ago, the degree of hegemony seems to be the same. They robbed the property and burned their permanent residence without saying anything.
So, he hates pirates! Hate this era!
Hate the pirates who burn, kill, plunder and destroy their homes. He hated the pirate group who took away his only family.
Thinking about it, a wry smile and self mockery suddenly appeared on the mouth covered by gauze.
Hate, is it useful?
After five years of hard work, I still can't do anything. Even his sister left his cabin unprotected, and he was beaten to death by the pirates.
I have been training for five years. Except for his strength, which is comparable to that of an adult, he is not like those warriors who are taught... Any pirate with some strength can handle him at will.
Slowly, he seemed to feel his life was passing by, his head was getting heavier and heavier, and his eyelids began to close. At last, two skeleton flags came to his mind.
One side is the pirate group that took my sister five years ago, and the other side is the pirate group that set fire today
Although he did not know the names of the two pirate groups, he remembered clearly the two evil skull patterns.
Seeing that Tang Ge didn't respond, the young woman closed her eyes. Suddenly, she became anxious and her voice became choked. She said, "Tang Ge, you must insist on not sleeping!"
Tang Ge tried hard to open his heavy eyes, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not do it. Eyelids trembled and were shaking constantly.
"Coming! Coming!"
At this time, a group of men came running with buckets. Watching the flames burning for several meters, it seemed that the village would be covered under its rule.
Looking at the fiercer and fiercer fire, they rushed up with buckets in their hands. Without saying a word, they poured the water out of the buckets.
Twenty or thirty people, one bucket after another, poured and rushed to the shore, and the fire was gradually under control.
Time is like water, and the sky is getting dark. A round of white disc appeared at the sea level, covering the sea with a layer of silver yarn. With the last bucket of water pouring out, the fire was finally put out.
The man collapsed on the ground, and wooden barrels can be seen everywhere. However, the village in front of us no longer exists, and there is no intact house in sight, which looks more like a piece of ruins.
"Village head, come and have a look. Tang Ge seems... like..."
When everyone's mood slows down and they are ready to have a rest. A clear and crisp voice came from the slope, with an obvious crying voice.
The old man, who had commanded before, heard the words and walked quickly with others on crutches supported by a woman.
The village head shivered close, looked at the quiet young man lying there, sighed deeply, and said: "Alas... the boy is also suffering. Is he so desperate for the house?"
"Tang Ge has helped us a lot over the years. No matter how hard he worked, he never complained. It's because we didn't protect him."
"Pirates have no feelings, they are all ferocious people! Tang Ge still can't get over that ridge in his heart, so he is so desperate."
"Alas... If you don't have money, you can earn it again. If you don't have a house, you can build it again. Life is so fragile. Why fight with the pirates, poor child!"
The village head raised his hand and knocked on the ground with his crutch, accusing him, "If you can speak, shut up."
Tang Ge finally left, with reluctance and pain.
The sea at night is dark blue. Under the reflection of the round moon and sparkling stars, the sea is more charming.
But on a slope in the north of the island, there lay a lifeless corpse.
There were people standing around, their faces were full of sadness, and they were very sad in the bright moonlight.
They looked at the vast sea below, as if they were looking at the devil in the dark. Listening to the sound of the surging waves, it was more like the roar of the devil.
At this moment, the silence of the night made them afraid. It seems that I can't avoid, leaving an indelible scar in my heart.
When the villagers put him on a platform to prepare for the future, Tang Ge, who was lying flat there, suddenly opened his eyes.
