Chapter 40: Life hangs by a thread

The match lasted five or six minutes, and with a deafening loud bang, my grandfather closed his arms and hugged me and turned around quickly.

A powerful force struck him in the back, and the smell of blood immediately dissipated.

He staggered forward with a muffled grunt, took me straight to the ground, and pushed me out of his arms the moment I landed first, so as not to crush me.

When I rolled five or six meters on the spot to stabilize my body, the whole isolated island was silent.

Grandfather!

I was so frightened that my whole body trembled, and my hands and feet hurriedly followed the path I came.

I finally managed to find my grandfather, but his breath was so weak that it would stop at any moment, and the flesh on his back was blurry to the point where the blood on his hand was not intact when he touched it.

With tears rolling down my eyes, I quickly took out the porcelain bottle containing the medicine from my pocket and scattered the little medicine left in the bottle on his back.

Grandpa followed and let out a cry of pain.

"Grandpa, are you awake?" I was overjoyed, and hurriedly touched his eyes again.

"Don't be afraid, grandpa can't die. But what kind of medicine are you using, it's too painful. Grandpa smiled weakly and took my little hand with his big hand.

I couldn't hold back my tears anymore and wept aloud.

I hate myself for being a weak chicken, and I always hang on my grandfather's life.

I'd rather suffer twice as much myself than have half of my grandfather suffer.

No one has ever been able to treat me like one in ten million of grandpa, and if grandpa can't survive this time, I will accompany him on the Huangquan road.

"Girl, you're crying and snotty. "While I was crying, my grandfather suddenly reminded me.

"Huh?" this reminder was so unexpected that it was very successful and abruptly stopped my crying.

I raised my hand to my nose and there was no snot bubbles.

"Girl, crying when you encounter something won't solve the problem. Just like now, you should help grandpa sit up first, so that grandpa can heal as soon as possible. My reaction made my grandfather laugh on the spot, and he gasped because of the laughter that involved the wound.

I blushed and carefully helped my grandfather sit up.

The mere act of sitting up made Grandpa sweat cold, but he didn't let out any more painful screams.

After Grandpa sat up, he immediately began to heal his wounds with his knees crossed.

I stood next to him, so that he could rely on me at any time when he couldn't hold on, and I also closed my eyes and listened attentively to the movements around me to be on guard.

The sea breeze is slow and sharp, and the waves are constantly crashing against the edge of the island.

There is the sound of the sea flowing slowly, the sound of dripping water falling back into the water from a high place or smashing down the stone face, the sound of the stones rolling, the movement of the grass and trees swaying in the wind, and the sound of grandpa's breathing gradually steady......

As soon as the sound comes into my ears, it is no longer just a sound, but a picture that can be naturally sketched in my mind.

Even if I am blind, even with my eyes closed, I can 'see' clearly.

This is about the real world of the blind.

It's just that I'm much luckier than people who were born blind, after all, I've seen it with my own eyes, so I don't have to have black and white in my clear 'seeing'.

I quietly 'see' my surroundings and don't miss the slightest unusual noise.

Luckily, it wasn't until it got dark, until my eyes were able to see my surroundings clearly, and there was no unusual sound around me.

Not far in front of them, a half-cut paper figure was firmly pressed under the stone, and the roof of the cave was no longer starry in the sky.

The grandfather, who was healing from his wounds on his knees, closed his eyes tightly and turned pale, his shirt was tattered, and the large area of flesh and skin on his back was slowly healing, and blood continued to seep out.

I looked at the wound on his back, at the scar on his right shoulder from the last penetrating wound, at his gray hair, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

I burst into tears and quickly lifted my sleeve to wipe away my tears, then went to remove the gravel that covered the blanket and draped it over my grandfather.

The nights were cold, and there was no shelter from the devastated island.

I continued to pick up gravel and bring the package and snacks back to my grandfather.

I was about to sit down when a ship came into my sight.

The boat was unmanned, without any light.

I was on guard for a moment, and I felt that the ship was a little familiar.

I looked closely, and the ship was drifting with the current, like the ship docked on the edge of the desert island before my grandfather's soul left his body.

The isolated island is in the deep sea, and even if grandpa heals, it will be difficult for us to leave without a boat.

For the boat that goes and returns, I can't miss it.

Seeing that the boat would not approach the island according to the course of the current, I immediately devoured some food to cushion my stomach, so I took off my shoes and socks and coat, warmed up briefly, and then jumped into the sea and swam towards the boat.

This is my second swim and it's still in the deep ocean.

The waves swept me up and almost drowned me in the sea.

When I finally swam to the side of the boat and climbed onto deck, I had already exhausted my energy, and I had to support my grandfather's worries to get on board.

I rested on the boat for a while, then picked up the oars on the deck and walked to the stern, holding the boat as far as I could towards the island.

I didn't know at this time that it was faster to row at the stern than at the bow of the boat, but all the boats I had seen were at the stern, so I thought it would be okay to follow the same example.

I couldn't hold a boat in Shallow Bay before.

It has only been more than half a year, but it is extremely difficult for me to hold the boat purposefully in the sea with wind and waves.

Thankfully, despite the great difficulty, I was able to get closer to the island.

Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden movement from the cabin.

The movement was like a comfortable sigh after a long time of one posture and then another, mixed with the sound of the sea breeze and waves, which was not obvious.

If I had been in the past, I would not have noticed it.

I stiffened, glanced at the closed hatch of the cabin and retracted my gaze in time to continue the ship towards the island.

My immediate priority is to dock the boat to the island, and the rest can only be walked and watched.

What's in the cabin, it's better not to come out and make trouble until I dock the ship to the island.

As I continued to hold the boat, I wondered if the contents of the cabin were the one who had imprisoned me back in the shop, after all, I hadn't had time to ask my grandfather to see if he had lost his soul.

However, I quickly dispelled this doubt.

The one who didn't show up after his grandfather's injury was either gone or seriously injured and fled, he wouldn't have come back so quickly.

I was able to dispel my doubts, and there was movement from inside the cabin.

This time the movement was no longer inaudible, like the screams of a wild cat and like the cry of a child, it continued and became clearer and clearer.

As the movement became clearer, the hatch began to slamm, and anyone in the cabin was pounding the hatch to break it.
