lie or truth 1
The warm and illusory sunlight penetrated the drooping roots of the banyan tree like a waterfall and shot brightly on Isabel's face.
She reluctantly opened her eyes, reached out to block the light, and sucked in a scent of jasmine flowers.
Following the familiar smell, she grabbed a strand of black curly hair.
The woman's face was hidden in the shadow of the backlight and could not be seen clearly, but she knew that it was her mother.
At this time, she was still young and snuggled in her mother's warm embrace, listening to her solid and powerful heartbeat.
The mother gently patted her back and hummed a sleeping song for her.
She knew that her mother was used to putting her name into the sleeping song, but she couldn't hear the vague and light lyrics clearly.
She was eager to distinguish the meaning of the lyrics, and struggled to get up and get closer, but she could only hold the hair in her hand tightly and grab it in vain.
My mother was alarmed by her and stopped singing and leaned over to call her name, but her face and voice were still blurred, as if she was passing through the flowing sea water.
"Mother."
She woke up and suddenly remembered that her mother had passed away on a rainy night many years ago.
It was the longest rainy season she had ever experienced. From day to night, day after day, the entire city of Goa was soaked in the bitter rain in India, as if there would never be an ending day.
There was no temperature of the sunshine in the dream in the darkness, and Isabel hugged his shoulders and shivered.
The ground under my feet began to vibrate again.
She didn't know what day it was after she fell into the sea. Her eyes had already adapted to the glimmer environment and could fumble forward under the illumination of the fluorescent corals at the bottom of the water.
She vaguely felt that this was a long and narrow underwater cave, with endless extension of coral reefs ahead. A strange earthquake would happen every now and then. Fortunately, the intensity was still small and the cave was not likely to collapse.
The mourner was missing. She hoped he would be better off drowning, although this was unlikely.
Her own condition was not very good. She felt cold and hot, which was a sign of fever.
Physical strength was passing by every minute, and hunger and thirst were tormenting her, urging her to stop meaningless exploration as soon as possible.
Even so, Isabel still refused to give up. She would never allow herself to die alone in the darkness.
Her strong inner belief supported her to wade through the water, and finally caught the traces of the wind in the cave where the tide echoed.
Wind means exit.
A new force surged from her feet, and Isabel accelerated her pace. Despite stumbles and being scratched by countless sharp stones, she still saw the faint light behind the corner.
It was an underground lagoon hidden under the cave, with sea water pouring in from all directions and surrounded by many coral reefs that raised underwater.
Light shot through the pores dozens of meters above the head, vaguely illuminating the wide water surface.
A long boat lies between the rugged rocks.
Its huge keel was broken in two halves, and the sides were broken and peeled off, revealing the inner cabin's deck wrapped by algae and shellfish creatures. The obvious oriental ship style.
There is no ship larger than it in the world at present. Even the Portuguese proudly, the Good Jesus, is not as large as the giant ship in front of him. Most of the sails on the deck are almost decayed, but they are enough to imagine its once glory.
At its peak, this giant was able to carry thousands of people to sail to the sea, but now it is lying quietly in the dark underground cave, like the body of a forgotten giant.
Isabel exclaimed quietly, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and the legend of the huge fleet of eunuchs in the Three Treasures emerged in his heart.
The sound of stepping on the water suddenly sounded behind her, and she subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide.
Just as I was about to turn my head, I was afraid that the back of my neck would be pinched by a strong and strong hand.
Isabel exclaimed in dismay, then the sky was spinning, and his whole body was swept over.
She supported her body dizzyly, and was pressed into the water by the man in front of her, and she no longer had the strength to struggle. Only the scream that had just been left to spread and spread on the black hole rock wall.
